• | Coral Gold. Since Coral Gold’s 2002 fiscal year, Coral Gold has made aggregate principal expenditures of Cdn$4,616,090 on the Robertson Mining Claims in Nevada. We intend to offer to purchase all of the outstanding shares of Coral Gold on the basis of 0.63 of an exchangeable share for each common share of Coral Gold. Coral Gold’s common shares are listed on the TSX-V under the symbol “CGR-V” and on the OTCBB under the symbol “CGREF.” |
• | White Knight. In 1993, White Knight began to acquire gold exploration properties in Nevada and has focused solely on exploration and operation of properties in Nevada since that time Currently, White Knight’s efforts are exploratory in nature in each of the 18 Nevada properties where it holds an interest. White Knight continues to explore for projects to acquire in Nevada. We intend to offer to purchase all of the outstanding shares of White Knight on the basis of 0.35 of an exchangeable share for each common share of White Knight. White Knight’s common shares are listed on the TSX-V under the symbol “WKR-V.” |
• | Tone Resources. Tone Resources is focused on gold and holds substantially all interests in eight projects (10 claim groups) in Elko, Eureka, Lander, and Pershing counties in Nevada. All of Tone Resources’ properties are located near infrastructure facilities of currently producing gold mines. We intend to offer to purchase all of the outstanding shares of Tone Resources on the basis of 0.26 of an exchangeable share for each common share of Tone Resources. Tone Resources’ common shares are listed on the TSX-V under the symbol “TNS-V” and quoted on the Pink Sheets in the United States under the symbol “TONRF.” |
• | A larger land position within the Cortez Trend and a larger exploration program. We hold a 100% interest in the Tonkin Springs exploration gold property in Eureka County, Nevada, subject to paramount title in the United States. This property consists of approximately 36 square miles of unpatented lode mining claims and |
56
Table of Contents
millsite claims located on the Battle Mountain-Eureka Trend, approximately 45 miles northwest of the town of Eureka, in north-central Nevada. Upon successful completion of the strategic offers, our land position would increase by approximately 344% to approximately 160 square miles. Over the next two years, we have planned 400,000 feet of exploration drilling on our Tonkin Springs exploration gold property at a cost of $30 million. If the strategic offers are successfully completed, we intend to aggressively explore the properties of White Knight, Coral Gold, Nevada Pacific and Tone Resources over the next two years to coincide with our exploration program at our Tonkin Springs exploration gold property. |
• | A stronger cash position and reduced costs. On February 22, 2006, we completed a private placement of 16,700,000 subscription receipts, with gross proceeds to us of $75,150,000. Of the intermediate exploration companies currently exploring for gold in Nevada, we have one of the strongest cash positions. Successful completion of one or more of the strategic offers will also give us access to any additional cash resources of the companies acquired. Due to the strategic locations in Nevada of the assets of each of Nevada Pacific, Coral Gold, Tone Resources and White Knight and the elimination of redundant fees and costs, we expect that U.S. Gold would realize lower total costs than if each company were to remain a separate entity. |
• | Enhanced trading liquidity and better market focus. U.S. Gold and Canadian Exchange Co. expect that the successful completion of the acquisition of the target companies would result in increased market capitalization and trading liquidity of the combined company, resulting in better market focus. Because of the increased market capitalization and liquidity of the combined company, we expect that the combined company will have greater access to equity and debt capital markets than U.S. Gold currently does, and greater appeal to institutional investors. It is a condition to the strategic offers that the exchangeable shares shall have been approved for listing on the TSX and we expect that our shares of common stock will continue to be traded on the TSX and AMEX. We expect that the enhanced access to the equity and debt capital markets resulting from the acquisition of the target companies would provide management of the combined company greater flexibility to execute its business plan under various financial market conditions. |
• | Additional technical expertise. We believe that one or more of Nevada Pacific, Coral Gold, Tone Resources and White Knight has quality employees with good technical expertise. We hope to retain at least some of these key employees following the successful completion of the proposed acquisitions to assist in our business and operations going forward. |

Authorized Capital Stock | Nevada Pacific’s authorized capital share structure is an unlimited number of common shares without par value and without special rights or restrictions, and an unlimited number of preferred shares without par value but with special rights and restrictions attached. | Following shareholder approval at our special meeting in connection with the strategic offers, our authorized capital stock will be 250,000,001 shares consisting of 250,000,000 shares of common stock, no par value, and one share of preferred stock, no par value designated Series A Special Voting Preferred Stock. | ||
Dividends | Dividends may be declared at the discretion of Nevada Pacific’s board, subject to the rights of any shareholders holding shares with special rights to dividends. Dividends may be paid in cash, assets of Nevada Pacific, shares, bonds, debentures or other securities of Nevada Pacific, or in any one or more of those ways. | Our articles of incorporation provide that, and pursuant to the Colorado Act, our board may declare dividends. Dividends may be paid in cash, in property or in shares of capital stock. | ||
Size of the Board | The BCBCA and Nevada Pacific’s articles provide that a public corporation must have at least three directors. Nevada Pacific’s articles provide that the number of directors may be determined by the shareholders from time to time by ordinary resolution. If any director retires and no new director is elected, the size of the board will be set at the number of directors who are actually in office. | Our bylaws provide that there shall be seven directors and the board may increase or decrease, to not less than three, the number of directors by resolution. | ||
Removal and Retirement of Directors | Under the BCBCA, a director may be removed before the expiration of his or her term by a special resolution. Nevada Pacific’s articles provide that the shareholders may by special resolution remove any director and by ordinary resolution appoint another person to fill the vacancy. If the shareholders do not elect or appoint a director to fill the vacancy | Under our bylaws, at a meeting called for the purpose of removing directors, shareholders may, remove the entire board or any lesser number of directors, with or without cause by a majority vote of the shares entitled to vote at an election of directors. |

simultaneously with the removal of a director, the remaining directors or the shareholders may elect or appoint a director to fill the vacancy. | ||||
Directors’ Term | Under Nevada Pacific’s articles, at each annual general meeting, shareholders entitled to vote at the annual general meeting must elect the entire board. If Nevada Pacific does not hold an annual general meeting, the directors appointed at the last annual general meeting shall continue in office until his or her successor is elected or appointed or the date on which he or she otherwise no longer holds office in accordance with the BCBCA or Nevada Pacific’s articles. | Our bylaws, as amended, provide that each director elected shall hold office until such director’s successor is elected and qualified. | ||
Filling Vacancies on the Board | Under the BCBCA and Nevada Pacific’s articles, the directors may appoint a person as a director either to fill a vacancy on the board or as an addition to the board. The number of additional directors so appointed, however, cannot at any time exceed one-third of the number of current directors who were elected or appointed pursuant to the articles. Any additional director shall hold office until the next annual general meeting, but shall be eligible for re-election at such meeting. Under Nevada Pacific’s articles, if there are fewer directors in office than the number set in the articles as a quorum of directors (a majority of current directors or as set by the board), the board may only act to appoint directors up to the number established pursuant to the articles as a quorum of directors or calling a shareholder meeting to fill those vacancies. If Nevada Pacific’s has no directors or fewer directors in office than the number established pursuant to Nevada Pacific’s articles as a quorum of directors, shareholders may elect or appoint directors to fill vacancies. | Our bylaws provide that any vacancy occurring in our board may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of our remaining directors, even if less than a quorum. A director elected to fill a vacancy shall be elected for the unexpired term of such director’s predecessor in office, and shall hold such office until his successor is duly elected and shall qualify. If a directorship is to be filled by reason of an increase in the number of directors, either a majority of the directors then in office or a majority of shareholders may elect the successor. The director so chosen shall hold office until the next annual meeting and until such director’s successor has been elected and shall qualify. | ||
Required Vote for Certain Transactions | Under the BCBCA, certain extraordinary corporate actions, such as continuances, certain mergers, sales, leases or other dispositions of all, or substantially all of, the property of a corporation (other than in the ordinary course of business), liquidations, dissolutions and certain arrangements, are | To effect a merger or share exchange under the Colorado Act, a corporation’s board must approve and adopt a plan of merger or plan of share exchange and recommend such plan to the shareholders.

required to be approved by special resolution of the shareholders. For Nevada Pacific, a special resolution means a resolution passed at a general meeting by a majority of at least two- thirds of the votes cast on the resolution.

Under the Colorado Act, a corporation may sell, lease, exchange or otherwise dispose of all, or substantially all, of its property other than in the regular course of business on the terms and conditions and for the consideration determined by the board, if the board proposes and a majority of the shareholders entitled to vote approve the transaction. Our articles of incorporation and bylaws do not require a greater vote. | |||
Calling a Meeting of Shareholders | Under Nevada Pacific’s articles, the directors have the power at any time to call special meetings of shareholders. Under the BCBCA, the holders of not less than 5% of the issued shares of a corporation that carry the right to vote at a general meeting may requisition that the directors call a meeting of shareholders. Upon meeting the technical requirements set out in the BCBCA, the directors must call a meeting of shareholders to be held not more than four months after receiving the requisition. If the directors do not call such meeting within 21 days after receiving the requisition, the requisitioning shareholders or any of them holding in aggregate not less than 2.5% of the issued shares of the corporation that carry the right to vote at general meetings may call the meeting. | Our bylaws provide that a special meeting of shareholders may be called at any time by the president, by a majority of the board or upon written demand by shareholders holding 10% or more of all the votes entitled to be cast on any issue proposed to be considered at the meeting. | ||
Quorum of Shareholders | Nevada Pacific’s articles provide that, subject to any special rights or restrictions attached to any class of shares, a quorum for the transaction of business at any general meeting of shareholders is one person who, whether present or represented by proxy, is a shareholder or shareholder holding, in the aggregate, at least 5% of the issued shares entitled to be voted at a meeting. If within one half hour from the time appointed for a general meeting a quorum is not present, the general meeting, if convened by requisition of the shareholders, shall be dissolved.

If at such adjourned meeting a quorum is not present within one half hour from the time appointed, the person or persons present and being or representing by proxy, a shareholder or shareholders entitled to attend and vote at the meeting shall constitute a quorum. | ||||
Notice of Meeting of Shareholders | Under the BCBCA, notices of the date, time and place of a general meeting of shareholders must be sent not less than 21 days nor more than two months before the meeting to each director and to each shareholder entitled to attend the meeting. Under Nevada Pacific’s articles, the notice for a shareholder meeting for which special business will be conducted must state the nature of the special business to be discussed or approved. If a document is being considered by the shareholders, that document must be attached to the notice. | The Colorado Act and our bylaws provide that, whenever shareholders are required or permitted to take any action at a meeting, a written notice of the meeting stating, among other things, the place, date and time of the meeting must be given not less than ten nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at the meeting. Moreover, if the number of our authorized shares is to be increased, at least 30 days written notice of the shareholder meeting must be given. | ||
Record Date for Notice of Meetings of Shareholders | The BCBCA and Nevada Pacific’s articles provides that the directors may fix in advance a date as the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive notice of and vote at a meeting of shareholders, but such record date shall not precede the meeting date (i) by more than two months or (ii) by more than four months in the case of a meeting requisitioned by shareholders. If Nevada Pacific is a public company, the record date shall not be less than 21 days prior to the meeting date. If Nevada Pacific is not a public company, the record date shall not be less than 10 days prior to the meeting date. If no record date is fixed, the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive notice of or vote at a meeting of shareholders shall be at 5:00 p.m. on the day immediately preceding the day on which the notice is given or, if no notice is given, the beginning of the meeting. | Under the Act and our bylaws, our board may fix in advance a date as the record date, provided that such date is not less than 10 days nor more than 50 days prior to the meeting. If our board does not fix the record date, the record date shall be 30 days prior to the shareholder meeting. | ||
Dissenters’ or Appraisal Rights | The BCBCA provides that shareholders of a corporation are entitled to exercise dissent rights in respect of certain matters and to be paid the fair value of their shares in connection therewith. The dissent right is applicable where the corporation resolves to: | The Colorado Act provides that a holder of shares of any class or series has the right, in certain circumstances, to dissent and obtain fair value of his or her shares.

No dissenters’ rights are available for shares of any class or series that is listed on a national securities exchange or designated as a national market system security on an interdealer quotation system by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or held of record by more than 2,000 shareholders, unless the agreement of merger or consolidation requires the holders to accept for their shares anything other than: • shares of stock of the surviving corporation; • shares of stock of another corporation that are either listed on a national securities exchange or designated as a national market system security on an interdealer quotation system by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or held of record by more than 2,000 shareholders; • cash in lieu of fractional shares of the stock described in the two preceding bullets; or • any combination of the above. In addition, dissenters’ rights are not available to holders of shares of the surviving corporation if the merger did not require the vote of the shareholders of the surviving corporation. | |||
Indemnification of Directors and Officers | Under the BCBCA, a corporation may indemnify an individual who is or was a director or officer of the corporation. However, indemnification is prohibited if: • such eligible party did not act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of such corporation (or the other entity, as the case may be); and • in the case of a proceeding other than a civil proceeding, such eligible party did not have reasonable grounds for believing that such person’s conduct was lawful. | Our bylaws provide that we shall indemnify any person who is made or threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of U.S. Gold or is or was serving at our request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another entity against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in the best interests of U.S. Gold; but no indemnification shall be made by us in respect of any claim, | ||

eligible party an undertaking to repay the amounts advanced if it is ultimately determined that such payment is prohibited. Despite the foregoing, on application of a corporation or eligible party, a court may: • order a corporation to indemnify an eligible party in respect of an eligible proceeding; • order a corporation to pay some or all of the expenses incurred by an eligible party in an eligible proceeding; • order enforcement of or any payment under an indemnification agreement; • order the corporation to pay some or all of the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by a person in obtaining the order of the court;and/or • make any other order the court considers appropriate. Nevada Pacific’s articles require it to indemnify directors of Nevada Pacific, former directors of Nevada Pacific or alternate directors of Nevada Pacific and their heirs and legal personal representative against all judgments, penalties, fines or amounts paid in settlement to which that person is or may be liable and Nevada Pacific must pay the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by that person after the final disposition of any legal proceeding or investigative action, whether current, threatened, pending or completed for which the director, former director or alternate director of Nevada Pacific has been made a party or is found liable. Under its articles, Nevada Pacific may indemnify any other person. The failure of a director, alternate director or officer of Nevada Pacific to comply with the BCBCA or the articles will not invalidate any indemnity that person is entitled to under the articles. | issue, or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his or her duty to U.S. Gold unless and only to the extent that the court determines upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for such expenses which the court deems proper. Such indemnification is authorized and conditioned upon a determination of a majority of our disinterested directors, or if no such quorum is available, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, that the indemnification of such person is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the standard of conduct. Our bylaws also provide that to the extent a director, officer, employee or agent of U.S. Gold has been successful on the merits in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to above or defense of any claim, issue or matter, he or she shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such defense. In addition, the Colorado Act and our bylaws allows for the advance payment of expenses of an officer or director who is indemnified prior to the final disposition of an action, provided that, in the case of a current director or officer, such person undertakes to repay any such amount advanced if it is later determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification with regard to the action for which the expenses were advanced. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrants pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. |

Director Liability | Under the BCBCA, directors of a corporation who vote for or consent to a resolution that authorizes the corporation to do any of the following are jointly and severally liable to restore to the corporation any amount paid or distributed as a result and not otherwise recovered by the corporation: • carry on its business or exercise any power that it is restricted by its articles from carrying on or exercising; • pay a commission or allow a discount contrary to the provisions of the BCBCA; • pay a dividend or acquire or redeem any of its shares where there are reasonable grounds for believing that the corporation is insolvent or the payment of the dividend or the acquisition or redemption would render the corporation insolvent; or • indemnify a person in contravention of the BCBCA. | Our articles of incorporation provide that directors shall not be personally liable to U.S. Gold or our shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty, except as prohibited by the Colorado Act, as follows: • for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to U.S. Gold or its shareholders; • for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; • for unlawful dividends under the Colorado Act; or • for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. | ||
A director is not liable for the foregoing if the director relied, in good faith, on: • financial statements of the corporation represented to the director by an officer of the corporation or in a written report of the auditor of the corporation to fairly reflect the financial position of the corporation; • a written report of a lawyer, accountant, engineer, appraiser or other person whose profession lends credibility to a statement made by that person; • a statement of fact represented to the director by an officer of the corporation to be correct; or • any record, information or representation that the court considers provides reasonable grounds for the actions of the director, whether or not that record was forged, fraudulently made or inaccurate. Furthermore, a director is not liable if the director did not know and could not reasonably have known that the act done by the director or authorized by the resolution |

voted for or consented to by the director was contrary to the BCBCA. | ||||
Interested Shareholder Transactions | The rules or policies of certain Canadian securities regulatory authorities, including OSC Rule 61-501 and AMF Regulation Q-27, contain requirements in connection with “related party transactions.” A related party transaction means, generally, any transaction by which an issuer, directly or indirectly, completes one or more specified transactions with a related party including purchasing or disposing of an asset, issuing securities and assuming liabilities. A “related party” is defined in OSC Rule 61-501 and AMF Regulation Q-27 and includes directors and senior officers of the issuer and holders of voting securities carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attaching to all issued and outstanding voting securities or of a sufficient number of any securities of the issuer to materially affect control of the issuer. OSC Rule 61-501 and AMF Regulation Q-27 require more detailed disclosure in the proxy material sent to securityholders in connection with a related party transaction, and, subject to certain exceptions, the preparation of a formal valuation with respect to the subject matter of the related party transaction and any non cash consideration offered in connection therewith, and the inclusion of a summary of the valuation or the entire valuation in the proxy material. OSC Rule 61-501 and AMF Regulation Q-27 also require that, subject to certain exceptions, an issuer shall not engage in a related party transaction unless approval of the disinterested shareholders of Nevada Pacific for the related party transaction has been obtained. | The Colorado Act and our articles of incorporation and bylaws do not prevent us from engaging in a transaction with an interested shareholder. | ||
Transactions with Directors and Officers | Under the BCBCA and Nevada Pacific’s articles, subject to certain exceptions, a director or senior officer of a corporation holds a “disclosable interest” in a contract or transaction if: (i) the contract is material to the corporation; (ii) the corporation has entered, or proposes to enter, into the contract or transaction; and (iii) the | Under the Colorado Act and our articles of incorporation, contracts and transactions between us and one or more of our directors and officers, or between us and any other entity in which one or more of our directors or officers are directors or officers or have a financial interest may be void or voidable unless: (i) the material | ||

director or senior officer has a direct or indirect material interest in the contract or transaction. Subject to certain exceptions under the BCBCA and unless the court orders otherwise, a director or senior officer of a corporation is liable to account to the corporation for any profit that accrues to the director or senior officer under or as a result of a contract or transaction in which the director or senior officer holds a disclosable interest. The exemptions from the requirement to account to the corporation for any profit include where the disclosable interest is disclosed to the directors of the corporation and the directors approve of the contract or transaction with any directors that hold a disclosable interest abstaining from the vote or the contract is approved by a special resolution of the shareholders. If all directors have a disclosable interest in a contract or transaction, any or all of those directors may vote on a directors’ resolution to approve the contract or transaction. Directors with a disclosable interest may be counted in the quorum at the directors’ meeting to approve the contract or transaction whether or not such directors vote at the directors’ meeting. Nevada Pacific’s articles also provide that a director or senior officer who holds any office or possesses any property or interest that conflicts materially with his or her duties or interests as a director or senior officer must disclose the nature of such conflict to the board. | facts of the director’s or officer’s relationship or interest are disclosed or known to the board or committee and the board or committee authorizes the contract or transaction by the affirmative votes of a majority of the disinterested directors, (ii) the material facts of the director’s or officer’s relationship or interest are disclosed or known to the shareholders and the contract or transaction is approved in good faith by a vote of the shareholders, or (iii) the contract or transaction is fair as to the corporation as of the time it is authorized, approved or ratified by the board, a committee or the shareholders. Our articles of incorporation provide that the officers, directors and other members of our management shall be subject to the doctrine of ‘‘corporate opportunities” only insofar as it applies to business opportunities in which U.S. Gold has expressed an interest as determined from time to time by the board as evidenced by resolutions appearing in our minutes. Once such areas of interest are delineated, all such business opportunities within such area of interest which come to the attention of the officers, directors, and other members of our management shall be disclosed promptly to U.S. Gold and made available to us. Our board may reject any business opportunity presented to it and thereafter any officer, director or other member of management may avail himself or herself of such opportunity. Until such time as U.S. Gold, through our board, has designated an area of interest, our officers, directors and other member of management shall be free to engage in such areas of interest on their own. In addition, we adopted a corporate opportunity policy that defines the business opportunity in which we have an interest and prohibits our officers and directors from taking advantage of those opportunities without the approval of a majority of the disinterested directors or a committee of our board appointed for that purpose. | |||
Consent Required to Transfer Shares | Nevada Pacific’s articles provide that no share may be sold, transferred or | U.S. Gold’s bylaws do not contain any restriction on the transfer or disposition of U.S. Gold common stock. |

otherwise disposed of without the consent of Nevada Pacific’s board and the board is not required to give any reason for refusing its consent. | ||||
Special Rights and Restrictions | Nevada Pacific’s articles establish the following special rights and restrictions for Nevada Pacific’s preferred shares: • the preferred shares may at any time and from time to time issued by Nevada Pacific in one or more series. • Nevada Pacific’s board may, by resolution and before issue of the preferred shares (i) fix the number of shares in and determine the designation of each series of preferred shares and (ii) create, define and attach special rights and restrictions to the shares of each series including, among other things, the rate or amount of dividends, whether the dividends are cumulative or non- cumulative, the terms and conditions for cancellation or redemption, any voting rights. • Holders of the preferred shares shall be entitled, on the liquidation, dissolution orwinding-up of Nevada Pacific, to receive, any fixed premium, all accrued and unpaid cumulative and non-cumulative dividends (if any) before any distribution to the holders of common shares or other shares of Nevada Pacific ranking junior to the preferred shares. After these priority distributions, the holders of preferred shares shall not be entitled to any further distribution of assets of Nevada Pacific except as specifically provided in the special rights and restrictions attached to any particular series of preferred shares. • Except for any rights related to the election of directors on a default of payment of dividends, Nevada Pacific’s preferred shares are not entitled to receive notice of, or to attend or vote at, any general or extraordinary meeting of the shareholders of Nevada Pacific. | U.S. Gold’s bylaws make no provision for special rights or restrictions on any class of capital stock of U.S. Gold. |

“skarn” | Lime-bearing silicates, of any geological age, derived from nearly pure limestone and dolomite with the introduction of large amounts of Si, Al, Fe and Mg and usually formed near an intrusive contact. “Endoskarn” refers to skarns developed within the intrusive, “exoskarn” refers to skarns developed outside the intrusive contact | |
“stockwork” | A three dimensional network of closely spaced planar to irregular veinlets | |
“stopes” | An underground excavation formed by the extraction of ore | |
“strata” | A sheet like body or layer of sedimentary rock visually separable from other layers above and below | |
“sulfide” | A mineral compound characterized by the linkage of sulfur with a metal | |
“tailings” | The washed or milled portion of ore that is uneconomic | |
“VLF survey” | Very low frequency survey | |
“waste stripping” | The removal of waste rock in an open pit mine |
• | A final or bankable feasibility study is required to meet the requirements to designate reserves. | |
• | A historic three year average price must be used in any reserve or cash flow analysis to designate reserves. | |
• | To qualify as a reserve, the primary environmental analysis should be submitted to governmental authorities. |

Mineral Reserve | The economically mineable part of a measured or indicated mineral resource demonstrated by a preliminary feasibility study. This study must include adequate information on mining, processing, metallurgical, economic and other relevant factors that demonstrate, at the time of reporting, that economic extraction can be justified. A mineral reserve includes diluting materials and allowances for losses that might occur when the material is mined. | |
Proven Mineral Reserve | The economically mineable part of a measured mineral resource demonstrated by at least a preliminary feasibility study. This study must include adequate information on mining processing, metallurgical, economic, and other relevant factors that demonstrate, at the time of reporting, that economic extraction is justified. | |
Probable Mineral Reserve | The economically mineable part of an indicated, and in some circumstances, a measured mineral resource demonstrated by at least a preliminary feasibility study. This study must include adequate information on mining, processing, metallurgical, economic, and other relevant factors that demonstrate, at the time of reporting, that economic extraction can be justified. | |
Mineral Resource | A concentration or occurrence of natural, solid, inorganic or fossilized organic material in or on the Earth’s crust in such form and quantity and of such a grade or quality that it has reasonable prospects for economic extraction. The location, quantity, grade, geological characteristics and continuity of a mineral resource are known, estimated or interpreted form specific geological evidence and knowledge. | |
Measured Mineral Resource | That part of a mineral resource for which quantity, grade or quality, densities, shape and physical characteristics are so well established that they can be estimated with confidence sufficient to allow the appropriate application of technical and economic parameters, to support production planning and evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit. The estimate is based on detailed and reliable exploration, sampling and testing information gathered through appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes that are spaced closely enough to confirm both geological and grade continuity. | |
Indicated Mineral Resource | That part of a mineral resource for which quantity, grade or quality, densities, shape and physical characteristics can be estimated with a level of confidence sufficient to allow the appropriate application of technical and economic parameters, to support mine planning and evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit. The estimate is based on detailed and reliable exploration and testing information gathered through appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes that are spaced closely enough for geological and grade continuity to be reasonably assumed. | |
Inferred Mineral Resource | That part of a mineral resource for which quantity and grade or quality can be estimated on the basis of geological evidence and limited sampling and reasonably assumed, but not verified, geological and grade continuity. The estimate is based on limited information and sampling gathered through appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes. | |
Preliminary Feasibility Study | A comprehensive study of the viability of a mineral project that has advanced to a stage where the mining method, in the case of |

underground mining, or the pit configuration, in the case of an open pit, has determined, and includes a financial analysis based on reasonable assumptions of technical, engineering, legal, operating, and economic factors and evaluation of other relevant factors which are sufficient for a qualified person, acting reasonably, to determine if all or part of the mineral resource may be classified as a mineral reserve. |

(i) | On December 9, 2005, the Company announced that it had entered into an agreement with Mr. Robert McEwen to issue 12,500,000 units at a price of $0.40 CDN per unit for aggregate proceeds of $5,000,000 CDN. Each unit consisted of one common share and one common share purchase warrant with each warrant exercisable to acquire one common share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.50 CDN for a term of two years. As a result of the private placement, Mr. McEwen holds approximately 18.2% of the outstanding shares of the Company and, in event of the exercise of all the warrants, Mr. McEwen will hold approximately 30.8% of the outstanding common shares of the Company. In accordance with the rules of the TSX Venture Exchange, as this constitutes a “change in control”, the placement closed in two tranches. The first tranche, consisting of 6,921,213 units was completed on December 14, 2005. The second tranche for the balance of the units was conditional upon receiving shareholder approval. The Company called an extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders on January 23, 2006 and the shareholders approved the transaction, which was completed on May 11, 2006. The shares and warrants comprising the units and the shares underlying such warrants are subject to a four-month hold period. No finder’s fees are payable on this placement. |

• | The Coral Gold financing did not have any warrants attached to it, |
• | the Nevada Pacific private placement (only 200,000 units) consisted of a unit (issued at a price of $0.64) comprised of one common share and one warrant entitling the holder to purchase one common share at $0.80 (since the value of the warrant would have been almost $0.10 per share, the net price of a common share would have been around $0.55). |
• | The US Gold financing consisted of a unit (issued at a price of US$4.50) comprised of one common share and one-half of a common stock purchase warrant (with each full warrant entitling the holder to purchase one share of common stock for US$10.00 for five years from the closing). Considering the value of the warrant and the US/Canadian dollar exchange rate, the indicated price of the financing was about Cdn$4.75 per common share. |
