Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements |
August 31, 2008 |
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars) |
(Unaudited) |
NOTE 1 – NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF BUSINESS
Journey Resources Corp. (the “Company”) is a mineral exploration resource company incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada on March 29, 2000 under the name Access West Capital Corporation. On June 12, 2002, the Company changed its name to Journey Unlimited Omni Brand Corporation, and on November 4, 2005, to Journey Resources Corp.
The Company is presently in the business of the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties. It presently owns mining concessions in Guerrero State, Mexico, and mineral claims in Idaho, U.S.A. and Peru.
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles on a going concern basis, which assumes the Company will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company continues to incur operating losses, and has a consolidated deficit of $8,707,994 as at August 31, 2008.
The Company's ability to continue operations is uncertain and is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete exploration and development, and upon future profitable production or proceeds from disposition of these properties. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue operations.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a) | Interim financial statements |
| |
| These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles and follow the same accounting policies and methods of application as the annual financial statements. These interim consolidated financial statements do not include in all respects the annual disclosure requirements of generally accepted accounting principles and should be read in conjunction with the most recent annual statements. |
| |
b) | Basis of Consolidation |
| |
| The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned Mexican subsidiary, Minerales Jazz S.A. de C.V. (Note 4), its wholly-owned Peruvian subsidiary, Minera Journey Resources Peru S.A.C. incorporated on September 18, 2007, and two wholly-owned inactive subsidiaries, Journey Unlimited Equipment Inc. (Canada) and Journey Unlimited Equipment Inc. (U.S.A.). All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated. |
| |
| The Company’s 50% interest in the Vianey Mine Joint Venture, which is subject to joint control, is consolidated on a proportionate basis, whereby the Company includes in these consolidated financial statement its proportionate share of the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the joint venture (Note 7c). |
| |
c) | Foreign Currency Translation |
| |
| The Company’s foreign operations are determined to be of an integrated nature and are translated into Canadian dollars using the temporal method. Under this method, monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the rate of exchange in effect as at the balance sheet date and non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at their applicable historical rates. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average rates prevailing for the year, except for amortization which is translated at the historical rates associated with the assets being amortized. Foreign exchange gains and losses from the translation of foreign operations are reflected in operations for the current year. |

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
d) | Marketable Securities |
| |
| The Company has classified its marketable securities as available-for-sale financial assets which are carried on the balance sheet at their fair value. Fair value is based on quoted market prices. Unrealized gains or losses on the change in fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income until the marketable securities are sold, at which time the cumulative gains or losses previously recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income are recognized in net income. |
| |
e) | Property and Equipment |
| |
| Property and equipment are recorded at cost and amortized at the following rates on a declining balance basis, except in the year of acquisition, when one half of the rates are used and on a straight-line basis for leasehold improvements: |
Computer Equipment | 30 - 55% |
Exploration Equipment | 30% |
Furniture and Fixtures | 20% |
Leasehold improvements | 20% |
f) | Mineral Properties |
| |
| The Company’s mineral properties are in the exploration stage and therefore, the Company capitalizes all expenditures related to the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties until such time as the properties are placed into commercial production, abandoned, sold or considered to be impaired in value. Costs of producing properties are amortized on a unit-of-production basis based on proven and probable reserves. Costs of abandoned properties are written off to operations. Proceeds received on the sale of interests in mineral properties are credited to the carrying value of the mineral properties, with any excess included in operations. Adjustments to carrying value due to impairment are charged to operations. |
| |
| Property option payments received are credited against the cost of mineral properties. Where option payments received exceed the recorded acquisition costs of mineral claims, the amount in excess of the capitalized costs is credited to operations. |
| |
| The Company has not yet determined the amount of reserves available on the properties owned. The recoverability of the capitalized costs for mineral properties is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain financing to complete development of the properties and on future production or proceeds of disposition. The Company assesses the impairment of a mineral property whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. Recoverability of the capitalized costs is then determined by a comparison of the carrying amount of the property to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the mineral property. If a mineral property is considered to be impaired, that property is written down to its estimated net realizable value. |
| |
| Although the Company has taken steps to verify the title to mineral properties in which it has an interest in accordance with general industry standards, these procedures do not guarantee the Company’s title. Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers and therefore title may be affected. |

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
g) | Asset Retirement Obligation |
| |
| The Company records the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation, including site closure and reclamation costs associated with exploration activities on its mineral properties, in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The Company records the estimated present value of future cash flows associated with site closure and reclamation as a liability when the liability is incurred and increases the carrying value of the related assets by that amount. The liability is accreted over time for changes in the fair value through charges to accretion expense. The costs capitalized to the related assets are depleted to earnings in a manner consistent with the underlying assets. |
| |
| As at August 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company has determined that it does not have any material obligations for asset retirement obligations. |
| |
h) | Impairment of Long-Lived Assets |
| |
| Long-lived assets are reviewed by the Company for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the estimated undiscounted future cash flow expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. As at August 31, 2008 and November 30, 2007, management believes there has been no impairment of the Company’s long-lived assets, with the exception of the Empire Mine Project for which the Company recorded a writedown of $810,226 during the year ended November 30, 2007 (Note 7b). |
| |
i) | Revenue Recognition |
| |
| As the Company is the operator of the Vianey Mine Joint Venture (Note 7c), operator management fee income is charged to the joint venture partner based on 5% of the joint venture partner’s portion of the exploration and development expenditures. Operator management fee income is recognized once the related expenditures have been incurred and collection is reasonably assured. |
| |
| Interest income and administrative and office support fee income is recognized when earned and collection is reasonably assured. |
| |
j) | Comprehensive Income |
| |
| Comprehensive income is the change in net assets from transactions related to non-shareholder sources. The Company presents gains and losses which would otherwise be recorded as part of net earnings in “other comprehensive income” until it is considered appropriate to recognize them into net earnings. The Company presents comprehensive income and its components in a separate financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. |
| |
k) | Loss Per Common Share |
| |
| Basic loss per common share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares issued and outstanding during the year. Diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share as the effect of issuance of shares on the exercise of stock options and warrants is anti-dilutive. |
| |
l) | Comparative Figures |
| |
| Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform with the financial statement presentation adopted for the current year. These reclassifications have no effect on the net loss for the periods ended August 31, 2008 and 2007. |

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
m) | Share Capital and Stock Based Compensation |
| | |
| The Company records proceeds from share issuances net of related share issue costs. Share capital issued for non- monetary consideration is recorded at an amount based on the quoted market value of the Company’s shares on the date of share issuance. |
| | |
| The Company grants stock options to management, directors, employees and consultants. The Company recognizes compensation expense for options and broker warrants issued under the fair value based method in accordance with CICA Handbook Section 3870 “Stock-Based Compensation and Other Stock-Based Payments”. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of the grant and recognized over the vesting period, with the offsetting amounts credited to contributed surplus. The Company estimates the fair value of each grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. |
| | |
| Consideration received on the exercise of stock options is recorded as share capital and the related contributed surplus amount is transferred to share capital. |
| | |
n) | Use of Estimates |
| | |
| The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates include the assessment of recoverability of mineral properties and property and equipment, the determination of the amortization period of property and equipment, the estimated amount of accrued liabilities and asset retirement obligations, the realization of future tax assets, and the determination of the fair value of stock-based compensation. Actual results may differ from these estimates. |
| | |
o) | Income Taxes |
| | |
| The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method, whereby future tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. These differences are measured using substantially enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Income tax assets, including the benefit of income tax losses available for carry-forward, are only recognized to the extent that it is more likely than not that the Company will ultimately realize those assets. |
| | |
p) | Changes in accounting policies |
| | |
| On December 1, 2007, the Company adopted the following provisions of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (“CICA”) Handbook Sections. There was no material impact on the Company’s financial condition or operating results as a result of the adoption of these new standards: |
| | |
| a) | Section 3862 – Financial Instruments – Disclosures, which replaces Section 3861 and provides expanded disclosure requirements that provide additional detail by financial asset and liability categories (see Note 13). |
| | |
| b) | Section 3863 – Financial Instruments – Presentation, to enhance financial statement users’ understanding of the significance of financial instruments to an entity’s financial position, performance and cash flows (see Note 13). |

p) | Changes in accounting policies (Continued) |
| | | |
| c) | Section 1535 – Capital Disclosures, which establishes standards for disclosing information about an entity’s capital and how it is managed (see Note 14). Under this standard, the Company will be required to disclose the following: |
| | | |
| | • | qualitative information about its objectives, policies and processes for managing capital; |
| | • | summary quantitative data about what it manages as capital; |
| | • | whether during the period it complied with any externally imposed capital requirement to which it is subject; and |
| | • | when the Company has not complied with such externally imposed capital requirements, the consequences of such non-compliance. |
| | | |
| d) | Section 1400 – General Standards of Financial Statement Presentation, to include requirements for management to assess and disclose an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern (see Note 1). |
NOTE 3 – BUSINESS ACQUISITION
On April 11, 2005, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement (“the Agreement”) with Murcielago Capital S.A. (“Murcielago”) to acquire 5,000,000 common shares (out of a total of 5,050,000 issued and outstanding shares) of Minerales Jazz S.A. de C.V. (“Minerales Jazz”), a private Mexican mining exploration company. The main asset held by Minerales Jazz is the Vianey Mine concession, located in Guerrero State, Mexico.
Upon signing the Agreement, the Company made a cash payment of $150,000, issued 900,000 common shares valued at $360,000, and granted 100,000 share purchase warrants valued at $3,336. Each share purchase warrant entitled the holder to acquire one common share of the Company at a price of $0.40 per share. The warrants were not exercised and expired on July 20, 2006. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company incurred professional and sponsorship fees related to the purchase of Minerales Jazz in the amount of $82,383 which have been included in acquisition costs.
On September 11, 2006, the Company exercised its option to purchase the remaining 50,000 common shares of Minerales Jazz by making a nominal cash payment of $10.
On June 06, 2007, the Company issued an additional 500,000 common shares to Murcielago upon the completion of a recommended work program. This share issuance represented contingent consideration, and the fair value of these common shares of $185,000 has been recognized as subsequent additional acquisition costs in 2007.

These consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of Minerales Jazz commencing from July 20, 2005, the date of acquisition.
In addition, the Company has agreed to issue 800,000 common shares on or after that date which is seven business days following the earlier of (i) the completion of an economically viable pre-feasibility study on the Vianey Mine, and (ii) the commencement of commercial production. This conditional share issuance is considered contingent consideration, the outcome of which cannot be determined without reasonable doubt. Consequently, no amount is recognized for this portion of the acquisition until the contingency is resolved and the shares are issued or become issuable.
NOTE 4 – MARKETABLE SECURITIES
As of August 31, 2008, the Company owned 1,600,000 (November 30, 2007 – 2,100,000) common shares of Wits Basin Precious Minerals Inc. (“Wits Basin”). These shares are listed on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board in the United States and are subject to resale restrictions under the US Securities Law, unless the Company exercises its piggyback rights with Wits Basin to register these shares with the US Securities and Exchange Commission.
In March 2008, the Company sold 500,000 of Wits Basin shares for gross proceeds of $115,187.
Unrealized loss of $95,891 on the available for sale securities for the period ended August 31, 2008 is reported in Other Comprehensive Loss in the current period. There is no tax impact resulting from these adjustments in Other Comprehensive Loss as the Company has sufficient unrecorded future income tax assets available to offset future income tax liabilities.
NOTE 5 – RECLAMATION BOND
During the year ended November 30, 2006, the Company deposited US$5,800 (CDN$6,818) with the United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service for future mineral claim site reclamation costs associated with the Musgrove Creek Gold Project (Note 7a).

a) | Musgrove Creek Gold Property |
| |
| On June 13, 2007, the Company fulfilled all of its obligations under an option agreement (the “Agreement”) with Roxgold Inc. (formerly Wave Exploration Corp.) and Wave Mining Inc. and acquired all rights, title and interest to the Musgrove Creek Gold Property (“Musgrove Property”). The Musgrove Property consists of 47 unpatented claims situated in the Cobalt Mining District, Lemhi County, Idaho, USA. |
| |
| In 2006, the Company staked and recorded an additional 40 claims contiguous to the Musgrove Property. |
| |
| Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company assumed the underlying lease agreement dated June 12, 2003 with respect to certain mineral claims that comprise the Musgrove Property. The underlying lease has a 10 year term and can be renewed for two successive terms of 10 years provided that the conditions of the lease are met. The Company is required to pay annual lease payments to the underlying lesser which progressively increase from US$25,000 paid on the third anniversary of the lease to a maximum of US$50,000 per year for the duration of the lease. These claims are subject to an underlying 2% production royalty and a lump sum payment of US$1,000,000 upon completion of a feasibility study. In addition, the Company is required to incur minimum annual exploration expenditures of US$100,000 on the property during the term of the lease. As at August 31, 2008, the Company has paid a total of US$90,000 for the third, fourth and fifth annual lease payments to the underlying lesser, and has incurred a total of $896,301 of exploration expenditures on the property. |

NOTE 7 – MINERAL PROPERTIES (Continued)
b) | Empire Mine Property (Continued) |
| |
| Under the terms of the agreement, the Company earned a 50% lease interest in the property by making a non- refundable deposit of US$50,000, a cash payment of $200,000, and issuing 700,000 common shares of the Company. In addition, the Company issued 200,000 common shares valued at $58,000 as a finder’s fee. |
| |
| On June 26, 2006, Trio was served with a Statement of Claim asserting they were in breach of the underlying lease agreement with respect to the ownership of the mineral claims. Trio filed a Statement of Defense and Counterclaim on July 20, 2006. The Company’s interest in the Empire Mine is wholly derived from its option agreement with Trio, and in the event that Trio’s interest in the Empire Mine is terminated, the interest of the Company will also be terminated. |
| |
| On September 27, 2007, the Company and Trio entered into an amended agreement whereby the Company made additional cash payments totalling $50,000. In exchange, Trio agreed to defer the exploration expenditure requirement under the original agreement, pending the outcome of the litigation between Trio and the underlying lessor. |
| |
| On February 27, 2008, the Company and Trio entered into a settlement agreement with the underlying lessor and land owners, whereby a new lessee will purchase 100% right, title and interest in the Empire Mine property from the Company and Trio for a total of $1,000,000, pending completion of a satisfactory due diligence review and subject to court approval. The Company will pay $100,000 to Trio upon receipt of the $1,000,000 settlement. As a result of this settlement, the Company has written off $810,226 in costs incurred with respect to the project as at November 30, 2007. |
| |
c) | Vianey Mine Silver Property – Joint Venture |
| |
| On April 11, 2005, the Company acquired 100% of Minerales Jazz, the beneficial holder of the Vianey Mine concession (Note 4). The Vianey Property is held pursuant to an exploitation concession issued on May 5, 1979 by the government of Mexico and will expire in 2029, unless renewed. |
| |
| On June 28, 2006, the Company signed an Option Agreement with Wits Basin whereby the Company granted Wits Basin the option to acquire up to a 50% interest in the Vianey Property. On December 18, 2006, Wits Basin earned a 25% interest in the Vianey Property by issuing 600,000 of its common shares (with a fair value of $219,037) to the Company and incurring US$500,000 in exploration expenditures. The Company also issued 100,000 common shares, with a fair value of $30,000, as a finder’s fee in fiscal 2006. |
| |
| Pursuant to the Option Agreement, the Company and Wits Basin entered into a joint venture arrangement with a 75% and 25% interest respectively, for the exploration and development of the Vianey Mine Silver Project. The Company is the operator of the project. |
| |
| On October 31, 2007, Wits Basin exercised its option to earn an additional 25% interest to increase its total interest to 50% in the Vianey Property by paying US$100,000 in cash and issuing a total of 2,100,000 of its common shares (500,000 shares with a fair value of $187,936 received on January 09, 2007 and 1,600,000 shares with a fair value of $366,643 received on October 29, 2007). The joint venture exploration and development arrangement has been changed accordingly with 50% interest owned by the Company and the remaining 50% interest owned by Wits Basin. |

| | |
e) | Silveria Property |
| | |
| On February 05, 2008, the Company through its wholly-owned Peruvian subsidiary entered into an option and joint venture agreement (amended on March 17, 2008 and on September 26, 2008 (Note 15)) with Grenville Gold Corporation (“Grenville”) to acquire up to a 75% interest in the Silveria property, located in the Huarochiri Province of Peru. The Company paid $200,000 upon signing a letter of intent on December 13, 2007. Grenville was a related company with a common director until March 12, 2008 at which date the director resigned from the boards of both Grenville and the Company. |
| | |
| Under the terms of the agreement, the Company may earn up to 75% interest in the Silveria property by fulfilling the following funding and expenditure requirements: |
| | |
| i) | funding of $1,300,000 (requirement subsequently met) towards development and exploration expenditures on the Property and issuance of 1,000,000 common shares (issued, Note 10v) on or before June 30, 2008 (the “Approval Date”); |
| | |
| ii) | funding of a further $1,500,000 on or before three months following the Approval Date, at which time the Company will have earned a 25% interest in the property and a joint venture will be formed; |
| | |
| iii) | funding of a further $3,000,000 on or before eight months following the Approval Date, at which time the Company will have earned another 25% interest for a total of 50% joint venture interest in and to the property; and |
| | |
| iv) | funding of a further $6,000,000 towards expenditures on the Property and an additional option payment of $1,000,000 to Grenville on or before January 31, 2011, at which time the Company will have earned another 25% interest for a total 75% joint venture interest in and to the property. Grenville shall, however, have a one- time option to elect to fund the equivalent amount of $6,000,0000 in order to maintain its 50% interest in and to the property, and have the joint venture continue to run on a 50/50 basis. |

NOTE 7 – MINERAL PROPERTIES (Continued)
The Company issued 400,000 shares as finder’s fees on this acquisition (Note 10v).
In 2008, Grenville filed a lawsuit against High Ridge Resources Inc. for slander to title of the Bella Rubia mineral exploration properties, which form part of the Silveria Project. The outcome of the legal proceedings is uncertain and its resolution will determine whether there is a loss or impairment of the Company’s interest in the Silveria Project.
NOTE 8 – SHORT TERM LOANS
a) | On August 27, 2007, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement for $200,000 by way of a promissory note for a period of one year in connection with the purchase of a diamond drill. |

e) | Stock Based Compensation |
| |
| The fair value of stock options and brokers warrants granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions used for the grants made during the fiscal 2008 and 2007: |
| | 2008 | 2007 |
| | | |
| Risk-Free Annual Interest Rate | 3.4-0.98% | 4.0 – 4.5% |
| Expected Annual Dividend Yield | 0% | 0% |
| Expected Stock Price Volatility | 142-147% | 69 - 192% |
| Expected Life of Option | 5 years | 2 to 5 years |
The weighted average fair value per share of stock options granted during the period ended August 31, 2008 was $0.00 per share. During the periods ended August 31 2008 and 2007, the Company respectively recognized $499,111 and $57,108 of stock based compensation expense for options granted to directors, officers, and consultants.
Option pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions. Changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, and therefore the existing models may not necessarily provide a single reliable measure of the fair value of the Company’s stock options.
NOTE 11 – COMMITMENT
On April 01, 2006, the Company entered into a lease agreement for office premises commencing April 01, 2006 and renewed on April 1, 2008 for a term of five years. The Company is committed to pay monthly basic rent of $4,200 plus monthly operating costs and taxes estimated at $4,633 for an estimated annual total of $106,000.
On April 1, 2008 the Company entered into an Access and Benefits Agreement (‘the Parac Agreement’) with the Community of Parac, Peru, with respect to the exploration and development of the Silveria Property. Pursuant to the Parac Agreement, the Company will pay the Community an annual fee which will allow Grenville and the Company unrestricted access to conduct exploration activities on land owned by the Community within the Silveria region for a ten year period.

NOTE 13 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company designated its cash and cash equivalents as held-for-trading, which are measured at fair value. Accounts receivable and amounts due from related parties and joint venture partner are classified as loans and receivables, which are measured at amortized cost. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities and short terms loans are classified as other financial liabilities. Marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale which are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in other comprehensive income until the investment is derecognized or impaired at which time the amounts would be recorded in net income.
The Company recognized "other comprehensive loss" transactions during the period ended August 31, 2008 of $95,891.
The Company’s financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks:
Fair values
The carrying values of cash, amounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value based on their short term nature.
The carrying value of the long term debt approximates its fair value as it has been discounted at an interest rate approximating current market rates.
Foreign exchange risk
The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk to the extent it incurs costs in foreign currencies including the Mexican Peso, Peruvian New Sols, and the US Dollar. The Company does not use derivatives to manage its exposure to foreign exchange risk.
Other risks
Due to the nature of the Company’s operations management considers that risks related to credit, interest and liquidity are not significant to the Company at this time.

NOTE 13 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)
Commodity price risk
The ability of the Company to develop its mineral properties and the future profitability of the Company are directly related to the market price of gold. The Company has not hedged any of its future gold sales. The Company’s input costs are also affected by the price of fuel. The Company closely monitors gold and fuel prices to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company.
NOTE 14 - MANAGEMENT OF CAPITAL RISK
The Company manages its cash, common shares, stock options and warrants as capital (see Note 10). The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to pursue the development of its mineral properties and to maintain a flexible capital structure which optimizes the costs of capital at an acceptable risk.
The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may attempt to issue new shares, issue new debt, acquire or dispose of assets or adjust the amount of cash.
In order to facilitate the management of its capital requirements, the Company prepares expenditure budgets that are updated as necessary depending on various factors, including successful capital deployment and general industry conditions.
In order to maximize ongoing development efforts, the Company does not pay out dividends. The Company’s investment policy is to invest its short-term excess cash in highly liquid short-term interest-bearing investments with maturities 90 days or less from the original date of acquisition, selected with regards to the expected timing of expenditures from continuing operations.
The Company is currently assessing financing alternatives for its exploration plans and operations through its current operating period.
