The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated interim financial statements.

1.	Nature of operations and going concern

Midway Gold Corp. (the “Company” or “Midway”) was incorporated on May 14, 1996 under the laws of the Province of British Columbia and its principal business activities are the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties.

The Company is in the process of exploring and developing its mineral properties and has not yet determined whether its mineral properties contain ore reserves that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of amounts shown for mineral properties is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable ore reserves in its mineral properties, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete development, confirmation of the Company’s interest in the underlying mineral claims and upon future profitable production from, or proceeds from the disposition of, its mineral properties.

The Company has not generated revenues from operations. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of its assets and the settlement of its liabilities in the normal course of operations. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, confirmation of the Company’s interests in the underlying properties, the attainment of profitable operations and/or realizing proceeds from the sale of one or more of the properties. As at September 30, 2010, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $59,998,849 and working capital of $3,794,520 which management believes is sufficient to fund ordinary operations through the next twelve months however the Company intends to raise additional equity funds as the opportunity presents itself.

As discussed in subsequent event note 12 the Company subsequently filed a preliminary prospectus supplement to its short form base shelf prospectus filed with the securities commissions in each of the provinces of British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario, and a corresponding shelf prospectus as part of an effective registration statement on Form S-3 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, pursuant to which it intends to offer up to 6,660,000 units at US$0.60 per unit for gross proceeds of US$3,996,000. The offering is subject to regulatory approvals.

2.	Significant accounting policies and change in accounting policy

These consolidated interim financial statements for the Company have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”). They do not include all of the information and disclosures required by US GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation have been included in these financial statements. The interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements including the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2009 which may be found on the Company’s profile on SEDAR and EDGAR.

The accounting policies followed by the Company are set out in note 2 to the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009 and have been consistently followed in the preparation of these consolidated interim financial statements, except as follows:

Recently adopted accounting policies

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new accounting standards to address the elimination of the concept of a qualifying special purpose entity which also replaces the quantitative-based risks and rewards calculation for determining which enterprise has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity with an approach focused on identifying which enterprise has the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity and the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity. Additionally, this standard provides more timely and useful information about an enterprise’s involvement with a variable interest entity. The new standard became effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2010. The adoption of t his standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

In January 2010, FASB issued an accounting standards update for fair value measurements and disclosure. This update requires additional disclosures related to transfers in and out of level 1 and 2 fair value measurements and enhanced detail in the level 3 reconciliation. The guidance was amended to clarify the level of disaggregation required for assets and liabilities and the disclosures required for inputs and valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of assets and liabilities that fall in either level 2 or level 3. The updated guidance became effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2010 with the exception of the level disaggregation which becomes effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2011. The adoption of the updated guidance did not h ave a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

In January 2010, FASB issued accounting standards update for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary or derecognition of a group of assets. This update requires additional disclosure related to the valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of any retained investment in the former subsidiary or group of assets, the nature of the continuing involvement with the subsidiary or entity acquiring the group of assets and whether the transaction was with a related party or whether the former subsidiary or entity acquiring the group of assets will become a related party. This amendment clarifies but does not change the scope of current US GAAP. The updated guidance became effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2010. The adoption of the updated guidance did not have a material effect on the CompanyR 17;s financial statements.

3.	Investments

The Company has no remaining investments at September 30, 2010.

During the nine month period ended September 30, 2009, the Company realized a loss of $61,620 on the sale of 1,844,500 common shares of Rye Patch Gold Corp. (“Rye Patch”) for proceeds of $300,525. The Company recognized in other comprehensive income an unrealized gain of $18,000 on the common shares of Rye Patch for the difference in the fair value at September 30, 2009 and March 31, 2009. The Company recognized in earnings an impairment on the common shares of $7,770 of Rye Patch for the difference in the fair value at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

(c)	Stock options

The Company has an incentive share option plan (the “Plan”) that allows it to grant incentive stock options to its officers, directors, employees and consultants. The Plan was amended on May 12, 2008 to add an appendix called the 2008 Stock Incentive Plan for United States Resident Employees (the “U.S. Plan”) to supplement and be a part of the Plan. The purpose of the U.S. Plan is to enable the Company to grant Incentive Stock Options, as that term is used in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time, and any regulations promulgated thereunder to qualifying employees who are citizens or residents of the United States of America. This does not change the aggregate number of options that can be granted pursuant to the Plan.

The purpose of the Plan permits the Company’s directors to grant incentive stock options for the purchase of shares of the Company to persons in consideration for services. Stock options must be non-transferable and the aggregate number of shares that may be reserved for issuance pursuant to stock options may not exceed 10% of the issued

shares of the Company at the time of granting and may not exceed 5% to any individual (maximum of 2% to any consultant). The exercise price of stock options is determined by the board of directors of the Company at the time of grant and may not be less than the closing price of the Company’s shares on the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the option is granted and publicly announced, less an applicable discount, and may not otherwise be less than $0.10 per share. Options have a maximum term of ten years and terminate 90 days following the termination of the optionee’s employment, except in the case of death or disability, in which case they terminate one year after the event.

The continuity of stock options is as follows:

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report filed on Form 10-Q. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth under the heading “Risk Factors and Uncertainties” in our Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 30, 2010, and elsewhere in this report.

This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related notes. The discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations are based upon the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires Midway to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of any contingent liabilities at the financial statement date and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis Midway reviews its estima tes and assumptions. The estimates were based on historical experience and other assumptions that Midway believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results are likely to differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions, but Midway does not believe such differences will materially affect our financial position or results of operations. Critical accounting policies, the policies Midway believes are most important to the presentation of its financial statements and require the most difficult, subjective and complex judgments, are outlined below in “Critical Accounting Policies,” and have not changed significantly.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

In addition, certain statements made in this report may constitute “forward-looking statements”. These forward-looking statements involve known or unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance, or achievements of Midway to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors Regarding Reserve and Resource Estimates

The mineral estimates in this Form 10-Q have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the securities laws in effect in Canada, which differ from the requirements of United States securities laws. The terms “mineral reserve”, “proven mineral reserve” and “probable mineral reserve” are Canadian mining terms as defined in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the “CIM”) - CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council, as amended. These definitions differ from the definitions in United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Industry Guide 7 under the Unite d States Securities Act of 1993, as amended. Under SEC Industry Guide 7 standards, a “final” or “bankable” feasibility study is required to report reserves, the three-year historical average price is used in any reserve or cash flow analysis to designate reserves and the primary environmental analysis or report must be filed with the appropriate governmental authority.

In addition, the terms “mineral resource”, “measured mineral resource”, “indicated mineral resource” and “inferred mineral resource” are defined in and required to be disclosed by NI 43-101; however, these terms are not defined terms under SEC Industry Guide 7 and are normally not permitted to be used in reports and registration statements filed with the SEC. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into reserves. “Inferred mineral resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian ru les, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, except in rare cases.

Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource exists or is economically or legally mineable. Disclosure of “contained ounces” in a resource is permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations; however, the SEC normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute “reserves” by SEC Industry Guide 7 standards as in place tonnage and grade without reference to unit measures.

Accordingly, information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the documents incorporated by reference herein contain descriptions of our mineral deposits that may not be comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements under the United States federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

Overview

Company Overview

Midway is a precious metals exploration company focused on the creation of value for shareholders by exploring and developing quality precious metal resources in stable mining areas.

Midway’s corporate office is located at 15782 Marine Drive – Unit 1, White Rock, British Columbia, Canada V4B 1E6.

In the third quarter of 2010, Midway’s principal operations office was relocated from Helena, Montana to Denver, Colorado.

Midway maintains field offices in Lovelock, Tonopah and Ely Nevada. These offices support the Spring Valley, Midway and Pan Projects in Nevada respectively. These offices also support work on two other exploration projects, located on four of the major Nevada gold trends. Midway currently controls certain mineral rights on the Cortez, Humboldt and Round Mountain Gold Trends.

Business Strategy and Development

We have four advanced exploration projects: the Spring Valley, the Pan and the Midway projects in Nevada and the Golden Eagle project in Washington and two earlier stage exploration targets in Nevada. Midway plans to continue to attempt to expand these new gold discoveries through exploration.

The map below shows the location of Midway’s properties located in Nevada, USA.

Highlights for the third quarter 2010 and up to November 5, 2010:

On July 20, 2010 the Company announced the results of the preliminary economic assessment (“PEA”) for its 100% owned Pan project located in White Pine County, Nevada. The PEA, prepared by Gustavson Associates, is based on the July 1, 2009 resource estimate for the Pan project. This PEA demonstrates the robust economics and technical favorability of the Pan project. Midway expects that drilling planned in 2010 and 2011 may improve the grade and expand the mineral resource.

·	Barrick drilling at Spring Valley focused on continued expansion of the resource.

·	Spring Valley

·	Update per new press releases

Activities on Midway’s properties in the third quarter ended September 30, 2010 and up to November 5, 2010 the date of this Quarterly Report filed on Form 10-Q, are described in further detail below.

Spring Valley Property, Pershing County, Nevada

Midway and Barrick entered into an agreement on March 9, 2009 for the exploration and development of the Spring Valley property in Pershing County, Nevada, covering approximately 18.4 square miles. The Spring Valley project is located 20 miles northeast of Lovelock and approximately 3 miles north of the Coeur Rochester Open Pit Mine. Spring Valley is a diatreme/porphyry hosted gold system, and located on the Humboldt Gold Trend.

Under the terms of the agreement, Barrick may earn a 60% interest in the property by spending US$30,000,000 in work expenditures by December 31, 2013. Barrick has informed the Company that they expect to have completed the US$5,000,000 expenditure required in 2010 to maintain the cumulative venture earn-in schedule of US$9,000,000 by the end of October 2010 or shortly thereafter.

Assay results from the 34 holes drilled by Barrick at Spring Valley in 2009 expanded the gold mineralized zone hosted in and adjacent to a porphyry intrusion. In a November 30, 2009 press release, the Company reported significant intercepts of 339.5 feet of 0.037 ounce per ton (“opt”) gold (including 10 feet of 0.485 opt gold) and 156 feet of 0.028 opt gold in SV09-461C and high grade intercepts include a metallic screen assay of 5 feet of 9.101 opt gold in SV09-451C.

On March 23, 2010 the Company announced that Barrick had commenced its 2010 drilling program at Spring Valley, with a focus on continued expansion of the gold resource including both reverse circulation and core drilling. Drilling is expected to be completed by fall for this calendar year. In an August 26, 2010 press release, the Company announced significant intercepts from second quarter drilling of 103 feet of 0.097 opt gold (including 3.1 feet of 0.521 opt gold and 5.2 feet of 0.732 opt gold), 42.7 feet of 0.117 opt gold (including 5 feet of 0.653 opt gold), and 47.1 feet of 0.026 opt gold in drill hole SV10-478C. Drill hole SV10-478C was part of a fence of holes that tested extensions of mineralization perpendicular to the Basin Cross fault gold trend.

On October 6, 2010 the Company reported that test results report gold recoveries up to 98% with conventional oxide ore leaching treatment, and showed high gold recoveries across all the grade ranges tested. These tests were conducted at McClelland Laboratories Inc., Reno, Nevada, and were overseen by Barrick. The results show that several commonly used production options exist for processing and recovering the gold from Spring Valley and these include heap leaching, typical oxide leaching and recovery by gravity methods.

The Spring Valley project is without known reserves, as defined under SEC Guide 7, and the proposed program for the property is exploratory in nature.

Barrick is now funding the majority of the ongoing costs of this project. In the three months ended September 30, 2010, the Company incurred $10,939 primarily to fund property maintenance and taxes for the portion of the Seymork land that falls outside of the Barrick agreement area of interest.

Data reported to Midway by Barrick and disclosed in this Form 10-Q has been reviewed for Midway by Eric LeLacheur, (M.Sc., CPG), a “qualified person” as that term is defined in National Instrument 43-101.

Pan Project, White Pine County, Nevada

The Pan property is located at the northern end of the Pancake mountain range in western White Pine County, Nevada, approximately 22 miles southeast of Eureka, Nevada, and 50 miles west of Ely, Nevada. The Pan deposit is a Carlin-style, disseminated gold deposit, hosted along the Battle Mountain-Eureka Trend.

Key operations personnel now include Ken Brunk, President and Chief Operating Officer, Richard Moritz, Vice President of Project Development, William Neal, Vice President of Geological Services and the most recent appointment of H. Thomas Williams as Director of Environmental Affairs.

Since joining Midway in May 2010, Mr. Brunk has identified the critical path items and timeline to develop the Pan project to production. Key management personnel and consultants have been engaged and work has been underway since May to complete the environmental baseline studies and the design documents and permit applications.

On July 20, 2010 the Company reported the results of the PEA for the Pan project. The PEA, prepared by Gustavson Associates, is based on the July 1, 2009 resource estimate for the Pan project. This PEA demonstrates the robust economics and technical favorability of the Pan project.

Total gold produced for sale	327,000 ounces
Average gold grade	0.018 opt
Average annual gold production	44,000 ounces
Peak annual production	57,000 ounces
Mine life	7.5 years
IRR (pre-tax)	23%
NPV (pre-tax)	$49 million
Discount rate	5%
Pay-back period	3 years
Net cumulative cash flow (pre-tax)	$79 million
Direct cash costs	$453 /oz
Initial capital expenditures including mining pre-strip, equipment, process, infrastructure & buildings, owners and miscellaneous costs	$59 million
Metallurgical recovery rate	72%
Long-term gold price	$950 /oz

Note: This PEA is preliminary in nature as it includes mineral resources and there is no certainty that the preliminary assessment will be realized. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.

The PEA included an independent audit of the Company’s December 1, 2009 mineral resource estimate.

Using a 0.004 opt cut-off grade for both categories of resource there are 3,498,080 short tons at 0.019 opt containing 65,775 ounces of gold in the Measured Resource category and 39,252,272 short tons at 0.016 opt containing 616,473 ounces of gold in the Indicated Resource Category for a total of 42,750,352 short tons at 0.016 opt containing 682,248 ounces of gold of Measured plus Indicated Resource. There is an additional 3,622,368 short tons at 0.014 opt containing 50,876 ounces of gold in the Inferred Resources category that were not included in the PEA.

The PEA considers the Pan gold project to be developed as an open pit mine and heap leach operation. Three production scenarios were considered; In-pit Crush and Convey, Truck Haulage, and Contractor Mining. The In-pit crush and convey option has the highest capital cost, but lowest operating costs, a slightly higher IRR, and is considered the preferred option discussed here. The PEA utilized only Measured and Indicated Resources in the pit design. The base case utilizes a cutoff grade of 0.14 g/t. The average grade of mined material sent to leach was 0.62 g/t with ultimate recoveries of 70% for North Pan Mineralization, and 75% for South Pan Mineralization. The forecast mine life was 9 years with a total of 327,000 ounces of gold produced. Opportunities appear to exist to refine various aspects of the project and improve economics through cost reduction, optimization and through an increase in the size of the overall resource from the planned 2010/2011 drill programs. Initial project capital costs, as evaluated in the PEA, are estimated at $45 million plus working capital of $5 million and a 20% contingency totaling $9 million.

Operating costs and sensitivity analysis in US dollars are as follows:

Items	Cost per ton processed	Cost per ounce
Mining cost	$2.02	$155.24
Processing and refining cost	$2.94	$225.91
G&A	$0.40	$30.74
Operating contingency	$0.54	$41.19

The PEA was prepared to the standards of National Instrument 43-101 and was filed on SEDAR on July 21, 2010. The PEA was prepared under the supervision of Donald Hulse, Principal Mining Engineer and Terre Lane, Principal Mining Engineer of Gustavson, each of whom are independent of the Company and are qualified persons.

The critical path to commencing production at Pan by 2013 is directed towards completion of a feasibility study and permitting.

On October 13, 2010 the Company announced that it completed a total of 1,757 meters (5,764 feet) of diamond drilling in 14 core holes in the North and South Pan areas. In an October 28, 2010 press release, the Company announced results of six core holes drilled for metallurgical testing including significant intercepts of 266 feet of 0.033 opt gold in PN10-10c and 282 feet of 0.025 opt gold in PN10-02c. Additional assays are pending for the 8 core holes drilled for geotechnical and waste rock characterization studies.

The core drilling program was conducted to provide key information for our engineering, metallurgy, and permitting at the Pan deposit. This data will allow us to complete a feasibility study on the project early next year. The core samples also gave our geologists new understanding of the geology and alteration and this understanding will enable us to rigorously design processing methods for gold recoveries from various zones within the deposit. In addition the core drilling samples will provide geotechnical features for pit slope designs and waste rock characterization tests required for mine permitting and design. All of this information is needed to complete a feasibility study.

Environmental studies are underway to support a plan of operations and a reclamation plan submittal to the management agencies. These studies include waste rock characterization, hydrogeology, archaeology, soils, vegetation, wildlife, air quality, and visual resource considerations.

Engineering design work is advancing for the leach pad, the waste rock dump, the crushers, the utilities and the gold recovery plant. Completion of a feasibility study is scheduled for the first quarter of 2011.

The Company incurred $1,775,104 of expenditures at the Pan project in the three months ended September 30, 2010 of which 62% was the cost of the diamond drill program and the balance on advancing the engineering and environmental studies underway for the feasibility study and permitting.

Midway project, Nye County, Nevada

The Midway property is located in Nye County, Nevada, approximately 24 kilometers northeast of the town of Tonopah, 335 kilometers northwest of Las Vegas and 380 kilometers southeast of Reno. The property is over the northeastern flank of the San Antonio Mountains and in the Ralston Valley. Water is readily available from water wells drilled on the property under a temporary grant of water rights and power is accessible as a power line crosses the property.

The Midway project is located at the intersection of the well-known Round Mountain/Goldfield trend and the Walker Lane. It is a low-sulfidation epithermal gold system with near-vertical quartz-adularia-gold veins. Bonanza gold veins occur in a series of en echelon vein clusters along a 1.5 mile northwest-trending band of mineralization. The best previously reported gold intercept from the Midway vein was 2.5 feet of 119 opt gold in 17 feet that averaged 34.7 opt gold in core hole MW210.

Work at the Midway project in the third quarter 2010 comprised ongoing discussions with the Town of Tonopah (“Tonopah”) to secure water rights for development and preparation work necessary for permit applications.

The underlying property owners have waived the US$300,000 annual property payment that would otherwise have been due in August 2010.

The Company incurred $54,255 expenditures at the Midway project in the three months ended September 30, 2010 of which 56% was the cost of property maintenance claim fees and the balance on work to support the discussions for the water rights.

Gold Rock Project, White Pine County, Nevada

The Gold Rock property is a 14 square mile land position with known gold deposits located on the Battle Mountain-Eureka trend. This is a sediment hosted gold system in highly prospective host rocks. A historic database of 794 holes containing 269,446 feet of drilling was acquired outlining continuous mineralization along 9,200 feet of length. Surface work, geophysics and historic data compilation have identified a number of exploration targets.

Efforts in the third quarter 2010 included extensive mapping and sampling of a 12 square kilometer area for lithology, structure and alteration with the gold of identifying the best drill targets outside of the Easy Junior Pit. Assay results for all of the soil and rock chip samples are pending.

The Company incurred $123,032 expenditures at the Gold Rock project in the three months ended September 30, 2010 of which 55% was the cost of property maintenance claim fees and the balance on the mapping and sampling program.

Burnt Canyon Project, Pershing County, Nevada

The 2008 surface exploration and geophysics program on the Burnt Canyon project identified targets in this volcanic hosted epithermal system. Disseminated gold identified in rock chip and soil sampling at five different areas have been selected as drill targets. The project lies between high grade veins in the Seven Troughs district and the Wildcat disseminated gold deposit to the north.

The Company did not conduct any work on the Burnt Canyon project in the three months ended September 30, 2010.

The Company incurred $13,383 expenditures at the Burnt Canyon project in the three months ended September 30, 2010 all of which was the cost of property maintenance claim fees.

Golden Eagle Project, Ferry County, Washington

In 2008 the Company purchased a 100% interest in the Golden Eagle property located in Ferry County, Washington from Kinross Gold and Hecla Mining.

The Golden Eagle property hosts a large hot springs gold deposit that is partially covered by glacial gravels. In 1996 a previous operator delineated a potentially open pit deposit on private ground. Beneath this deposit are several high-grade vein exploration targets. These targets are adjacent to the Republic Knob Hill Mine, which produced high-grade gold, from underground veins, for over 100 years. We will also review options to process sulfide mineralization, in view of newer technologies and the economics afforded by a higher gold price. The ability to explore the deeper targets combined with the possible strategic access to Kinross’ nearby mill is a bonus that could add value to any new oxide ounces discovered on the property.

The Company did not conduct any work on the Golden Eagle property in the three months ended September 30, 2010.

The Company incurred $456 expenditures at the Golden Eagle project in the three months ended September 30, 2010 most of which was the cost of property tax fees.

Results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2009

The net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $3,731,246 (2009 – $$2,573,862).

Significant differences between the periods are as follows:

Interest and bank charges totaled $4,526 (2009 - $27,190) a decrease of $22,664 over the comparative period. The comparative period costs were higher due to interest expense incurred on a promissory note. The promissory note was settled in full on May 8, 2009.

Investor relations and travel totalled $240,338 (2009 - $135,973) an increase of $104,365 over the comparative period. Management attended several investor shows and contracted video interviews and paid for research in North America in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to participating in only one investor show in the comparative period. Midway has focussed its investor relations efforts on increasing the market’s awareness of Midway by travelling to meet potential investors and attendance at selected industry investor shows. This category of costs will be expected to increase as Midway retained Windward Global at the end of April 2010 to assist the Company with public relations and investor relations counselling and efforts at a cost of US$5,000 per month plus approved expenses.

Legal, audit and accounting was $155,582 (2009 - $468,690) a decrease of $313,108 over the comparative period. The current period included a one-time charge of $27,073 of agent’s legal fees associated with a 2009 private placement that the Company withdrew and did not complete. The comparative period costs were higher due to significant legal and auditing costs as the Company investigated and evaluated business opportunities.

Exploration expenses were $2,416,344 (2009 – $906,003). The details of the expenses in each period may be found in the schedule to the unaudited consolidated interim financial statements. Exploration levels are determined by the success of previous exploration programs on each project and cash available to fund additional programs. Exploration salaries and labor include the non-cash estimated fair value of stock based compensation for stock options granted to technical employees in the period of $27,615 (2009 - $173,372). Management fees earned from Barrick for the Spring Valley project were $14,552 (2009 - $23,624).

Mineral property interests written off totaled $119,980 (2009 – nil). The Company terminated the mineral lease agreement on the Roberts Gold property on July 14, 2010 and wrote-off its acquisition costs as of September 30, 2010.

Director’s fees, salaries and benefits were $1,362,969 inclusive of $651,923 of non-cash stock based compensation. The majority of the stock based compensation was included in the salaries and benefits for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. In the comparative period $1,522,310 included $939,450 of non-cash stock based compensation. Beginning in May 2010 the Company began building a management team to transition from an exploration company to a gold production company and as such we anticipate these costs will continue to increase.

The foreign exchange gain in the current period was $179,840 compared to a gain in the comparative period of $842,711 of which $168,280 was unrealized in the current period and $990,866 was unrealized in the comparative period. The unrealized foreign exchange relates to restatement of the US dollar denominated future income tax liability.

Notes and Factors Affecting Comparability of Quarters:

(1)	The Company is a mineral exploration company at the development stage and has no operating revenues. Exploration costs fluctuate between periods depending on results of each successive phase on each project and the Company’s ability to fund exploration and development activities.

(2)

Stock based compensation costs are a non-cash expense and represent an estimate of the fair value of stock options granted. These expenses are often the largest item included in the Statement of Operations and they represent a significant source of variation in loss from quarter to quarter. Stock based compensation is allocated between salaries and benefits and mineral exploration expenditures.

(3)	Costs for the June 30 quarter tend to be higher due to printing and mailing of shareholder material for the Company’s annual general meeting and costs of conducting this meeting.

(4)

Costs for the December 31 quarter also tend to be higher due to accruals for the annual audit. Administratively, management tends to critically review all exploration projects in detail at this time of year and makes decisions about which projects it wishes to continue and which projects it will abandon.

(5)	In the December 31, 2008 quarter the Company wrote off $4,247,000 in mineral property interests.

Financial Condition and Liquidity

The Company began the 2010 year with cash and cash equivalents of $1,740,322. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company expended $3,849,347 on operations, invested a total of $549,059 in mineral properties and equipment and received $6,658,813 from share subscriptions net of share issue costs to end at September 30, 2010 with cash and cash equivalents of $4,000,729.

On November 2, 2010 the Company filed a preliminary prospectus supplement to its short form base shelf prospectus filed with the securities commissions in each of the provinces of British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario, and a corresponding shelf prospectus as part of an effective registration statement on Form S-3 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, pursuant to which it intends to offer up to 6,660,000 units at US$0.60 per unit for gross proceeds of US$3,996,000. The offering is subject to regulatory approvals.

There was a severe deterioration in global credit and equity markets in 2007 through 2009. This resulted in the need for government intervention in major banks, financial institutions and insurers and also resulted in greater volatility, increased credit losses and tighter credit conditions. These disruptions in the credit and financial markets have had a significant material adverse impact on a number of financial institutions and have limited access to capital and credit for many companies. While market conditions have generally improved in the first half of 2010, access to capital and credit remains limited compared to capital markets before the deterioration in 2007. These continued disruptions could, among other things, make it more difficult for us to obtain, or increase our cost of obtaining, cap ital and financing for our operations. Our access to additional capital and financing may not be available on terms acceptable to us or at all.

On April 12, 2010 the Company issued 1,333,333 units at $0.60 per unit for proceeds of $800,000 by way of a non-brokered private placement. Each unit consisted of one common share and one share purchase warrant. Each share purchase warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional common share until October 9, 2011 (the “Expiry Date”) at an exercise price dependent upon the time of exercise, as follows, at an exercise price of $0.70 per common share if exercised by October 9, 2010, at an exercise price of $0.80 per common share if exercised after October 9, 2010 but on or before April 9, 2011, and at an exercise price of $0.90 per common share if exercised after April 9, 2011 but on or before the Expiry Date.

On May 4, 2010 the Canadian Securities Commissions accepted the Company’s Short Form Prospectus and on May 6, 2010 the Company’s S-3 Shelf Registration Statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (jointly the “Prospectus”) was declared effective by the SEC. The Company may now offer and sell, from time to time over a twenty-five month period, up to US$25,000,000 of the Company’s common shares, without par value, with or without warrants to purchase common shares, or any combination thereof in one or more transactions under this Prospectus: provided however, that the Company may not exceed in the aggregate more than 33% of its public float in any 12-month period in any such transactions under the Company’s S-3 Shelf Registration Statement. The Company may also offer un der this Prospectus any common shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants.

On June 16, 2010 the Company raised aggregate gross proceeds of $6.6 million, through the issue of 9,412,000 units through a brokered offering in Canada and the United Kingdom and the issue of 1,666,666 units in a non-brokered offering in the United States pursuant to final prospectus supplements to the Prospectus. The units were issued at $0.60 per unit, each unit comprising one common share and one half of one non-transferable common share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one common share of Midway at a price of $0.80 per share until June 16, 2012. Haywood Securities Inc. was engaged as the agent for the brokered offering in Canada and the United Kingdom and was paid a cash commission of 7% of the total gross proceeds of the brokered offering and issued agent's warrants ex ercisable to acquire 658,840 common shares of Midway at an exercise price of $0.80 until June 16, 2012.

As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there are 6,110,000 stock options at prices ranging from $0.56 to $3.36 and 7,519,006 share purchase warrants. While it is probable that some of these options and share purchase warrants will be exercised, it is not possible to predict the timing or the amount of funds which might be received.

Contractual Obligations

There are no contractual obligations other than those described in the notes to the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.

Off-balance sheet arrangements

There are no off balance sheet arrangements.

Inflation

We do not believe that inflation has had a significant impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

Environmental Compliance

Our current and future exploration and development activities, as well as our future mining and processing operations, are subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations in the countries in which we conduct our activities. These laws and regulations govern the protection of the environment, prospecting, development, production, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, mine safety, toxic substances and other matters. We expect to be able to comply with those laws and do not believe that compliance will have a material adverse effect on our competitive position. We intend to obtain all licenses and permits required by all applicable regulatory agencies in connection with our mining operations and exploration activities. We intend to maintain standards of environmental compliance consistent with regulatory requiremen ts.

Midway has an obligation to reclaim its properties after the surface has been disturbed by exploration methods at the site. As of September 30, 2010, we have accrued US$39,840 ($40,995 at September 30, 2010 compared to $41,872 at December 31, 2009) related to reclamation and other closure requirements at our properties which is unchanged from the estimate made at from December 31, 2009. These liabilities are covered by a combination of surety bonds and restricted cash totaling $269,082 at September 30, 2010 (December 31, 2009 - $279,126). We have accrued as a current liability what management believes is the present value of our best estimate of the liabilities as of September 30, 2010; however, it is possible that our obligations may change in the near or long term depending on a number of factors.

Critical accounting policies

Critical accounting estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements include our estimate of recoverable value on our property, plant and equipment, site reclamation and rehabilitation as well as the value assigned to stock-based compensation expense. These estimates involve considerable judgment and are, or could be, affected by significant factors that are out of our control.

The factors affecting stock-based compensation include estimates of when stock options might be exercised and the stock price volatility. The timing for exercise of options is out of our control and will depend, among other things, upon a variety of factors including the market value of Midway shares and financial objectives of the holders of the options. We used historical data to determine volatility in accordance with Black-Scholes modeling, however the future volatility is inherently uncertain and the model has its limitations. While these estimates can have a material impact on the stock-based compensation expense and hence results of operations, there is no impact on our financial condition.

Midway’s recoverability evaluation of its mineral properties and equipment is based on market conditions for minerals, underlying mineral resources associated with the assets and future costs that may be required for ultimate realization through mining operations or by sale. Midway is in an industry that is exposed to a number of risks and uncertainties, including exploration risk, development risk, commodity price risk, operating risk, ownership and political risk, funding and currency risk, as well as environmental risk. Bearing these risks in mind, Midway has assumed recent world commodity prices will be achievable. We have considered the mineral resource reports by independent engineers on the Midway, Spring Valley, Pan and Golden Eagle projects in considering the recoverability of the carrying costs of the mineral properties . All of these assumptions are potentially subject to change and most are out of our control; however changes to the assumptions are not determinable. Accordingly, there is always the potential for a material adjustment to the value assigned to mineral properties and equipment.

Midway has an obligation to reclaim its properties after the surface has been disturbed by exploration methods at the site. As a result Midway has recorded a liability for the fair value of the reclamation costs it expects to incur. The Company estimated applicable inflation and credit-adjusted risk-free rates as well as expected reclamation time frames. To the extent that the estimated reclamation costs change, such changes will impact future reclamation expense recorded.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

At the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision of and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation the CEO and the CFO have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective in ensuring that: (i) information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits to the SEC under the Exchange Act is record ed, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in applicable rules and forms and (ii) material information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow for accurate and timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

The Company's internal control over financial reporting is determined as ineffective as one material weakness is not remedied. The Company’s accounting personnel have limited expertise in US generally accepted accounting principles relating to in depth analysis and review of complex accounting transactions and implementation of new standards that may be material to the Company’s financial statements. This control deficiency, which is pervasive in impact, did not and has not resulted in a misstatement to the financial statements; however, there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the interim or annual consolidated financial statements would not have been prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the period covered by this report, there were no changes to internal control over financial reporting that materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
