EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Annual Report on the Form 20-F/A (“Form 20-F/A”) is being filed as Amendment No. 1 to our Annual Report on the Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on September 30, 2005 (the “Original Report”). Pine Valley Mining Corporation (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 solely to correct an error by the third party financial printer pursuant to which certain information regarding the Company’s operations at the Willow Creek Coal Mine was omitted from the Original Report.
This Amendment No. 1 amends the disclosures under each of “Item 4.B.—Information about the Company—Business Overview—Location and Infrastructure of the Willow Creek Coal Mine” and “Item 4.B.—Information about the Company—Business Overview—Mining and Processing Operations” solely to include the textual information following the map that was previously omitted from the Original Report.
This Amendment No. 1 also amends “Item 19-Exhibits” to include currently dated certifications of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.
This Form 20-F/A does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Original Report for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005, and does not modify or update the disclosure therein in any way other than to reflect this Amendment No. 1 described above. As a result, this Form 20-F/A continues to speak as of September 30, 2005.
PART I

Item 4. | | Information on the Company. |
Location and Infrastructure of The Willow Creek Coal Mine. The Willow Creek Coal Mine is located approximately 45 km west of Chetwynd, British Columbia and is accessible via the John Hart Highway (Highway 97) which is an all-weather paved two-lane highway. A rail siding with a 104 car capacity is located immediately adjacent to the mine, which provides ready access to rail transportation. Canadian National Railway lines provide access to shipping via Ridley Terminals in Prince Rupert, British Columbia and Neptune Bulk Terminals (Canada) Ltd. and Roberts Bank Terminals in North Vancouver, British Columbia. The following map illustrates the mine’s location and infrastructure:

Please see “Item 4.D.—Information on the Company—Property, Plant and Equipment”, for reserve and other information about the Willow Creek Properties.
Mining and Processing Operations. The Company’s mining operations at the Willow Creek Coal Mine are overseen by two management employees (including Mr. Mackenzie, the Company’s CEO) located on-site and conducted by employees of the Company’s mining contractor, Tercon Construction Ltd. The contractor is responsible for providing the labor and equipment used in connection with those operations. The Company is currently negotiating the terms of a long-term contract with this contractor. In the event that the Company is unable to reach an acceptable agreement with the contractor to provide services, its operations could be disrupted, which could have a material adverse effect on its business.
The Willow Creek Coal Mine employs conventional open pit mining techniques using truck and shovel methods to extract coal from three major seams within a 80 meter vertical section, as well as a small number of minor seams and splits of the main seams which are not always of mineable thickness or quality. Overburden is drilled and blasted with explosives and loaded onto large trucks by shovels and loaders and hauled to waste dumps outside of the pit. The mining contractor operates two hydraulic shovels and a wheeled loader to remove overburden and two smaller hydraulic shovels to load coal onto a fleet of trucks. Raw coal is then hauled to the mine’s coal crushers, where it is crushed to a predetermined size. The coal then moves on a short conveyor to an adjacent stockpiling and rail load-out facility for transportation by rail directly to port facilities.
The Company is currently producing a PCI coal with the following characteristics on a dry basis:
2
| | | | |
Ash | | | 8.0 | % |
Volatiles | | | 16.0 | % |
Sulphur | | | 0.6 | % |
Calorific Value | | 7,750 kcal/kg |
Much of the Company’s coal handling infrastructure was put in place during fiscal 2005. The coal reclaim system and rail load-out facility and the coal crusher and stockpiling system were completed and commissioned in February 2005 (temporary facilities provided by the mining contractor were used prior to that time). The Company began construction of a coal preparation plant in April 2005. The Company can produce approximately 1.0 million tonnes of PCI coal without the coal preparation plant and related facilities. Completion of the coal preparation facility will allow the Company to wash run-of-mine coal and prepare the primary metallurgical coking coal and PCI coal products from all coal seams. The plant is estimated to have an annual feed capacity of approximately 3.0 million tonnes, and construction of the plant is expected to be completed by autumn of 2005. The Company expects that, upon completion and commissioning of the plant and related facilities, and subject to provincial government approval to amend its mining permit, the Willow Creek Coal Mine will be able to produce at an annual capacity of 2.2 million tonnes.
