EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A is being filed to amend the HuntMountain Resources Ltd. Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2007 in order to include the exhibits, all of which were inadvertently omitted in the original filing. As well, this amendment sets forth the complete text of Part III Items 11 and 12. Item 11 was incorporated in the Registrant’s Form 10K by reference in contemplation of the Registrant filing its Proxy Statement by April 30, 2008. Because the Annual Meeting will be held later in 2008 the filing of the Proxy Statement has been delayed. Item 12 corrects certain tables set forth in that item. In accordance with Rule 12b-15 of the Exchange Act, this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A sets forth the complete text of Items 11 and 12 of Part III of the Registrant’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, as amended, and also includes new Rule 13a-14(a)/15d-14(a) and Section 1350 certifications as Exhibits 31(i), 31(ii), 32(i) and 32(ii).
This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A amends only the items of the Annual Report as specified above and amends those items solely to reflect the changes described above. Except for the number of common shares outstanding set forth on the cover page, this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A does not update the disclosures presented in the Annual Report as originally filed on April 14, 2008 and does not reflect events occurring after such date. This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A is effective for all purposes as of April 14, 2008.

Executive Compensation Agreements and Summary of Executive Compensation
Report on Executive Compensation:
During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors was responsible for establishing compensation policy and administering the compensation programs of our executive officers. As Tim Hunt receives no compensation for his role as the chief executive officer and no other executive is a member of the Board, the Board believes it is appropriate for the entire Board to participate in the compensation discussions.
The amount of compensation paid by the Company to each of our officers and the terms of those persons’ employment is determined solely by the Board. The Board evaluates past performance and considers future incentive and retention in considering the appropriate compensation for the Company’s officers. The Company believes that the compensation paid to the Company’s directors and officers is fair to the Company.
Our Board believes that the use of direct stock awards is at times appropriate for employees, and in the future intends to use direct stock awards to reward outstanding service or to attract and retain individuals with exceptional talent and credentials. The use of stock options and other awards is intended to strengthen the alignment of interests of executive officers and other key employees with those of our stockholders.
Executive Compensation Agreements:
We are not party to any employment contracts with any executive officer. Further, there are no service contracts of any officer of the Company and there is no arrangement or agreement made or proposed to be made between the Company and any of its named executive officers pursuant to which a payment or other benefit is to be made or given by way of compensation in the event of that officer’s resignation, retirement or other termination of employment, or in the event of a change of control of the Company or a change in the named executive officer’s responsibilities following such change in control. None of the Named Executive Officers, or our directors or officers exercised any options in respect of our common shares during the most recently completed financial year.
DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
Upon appointment to the board of directors each director is granted an option to purchase 150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at the prevailing market price on the date of appointment. During the year ended December 31, 2007 Msrs. Mastor, Hardy and Lipsker were each granted a fully vested stock option to purchase 150,000 shares of common stock at market value on date their appointments. Mr. Lipsker was granted options to purchase an additional 100,000 shares as consideration for his appointment as the vice chairman of the board. No annual compensation is paid to our directors.
Retirement, Resignation or Termination Plans
We sponsor no plan, whether written or verbal, that would provide compensation or benefits of any type to an executive upon retirement, or any plan that would provide payment for retirement, resignation, or termination as a result of a change in control of our Company or as a result of a change in the responsibilities of an executive following a change in control of our Company.
