D. CORPORATE DEVELOPMENTS

The following were corporate developments for the year ended July 31, 2020:

Management continued its focus on improving the financial position of the Company and made significant progress towards the objective of reducing its financial obligations.

  • i. The Company has an obligation to issue 2,160,000 units to directors, officers and service providers in exchange for services. Each unit consists of one common share and one transferable common share purchase warrant exercisable at a price of $0.30 per share for a period of two years. The fair value of the common shares issued was determined to be $60,500 and the fair value of common share purchase warrants issued was determined to be $40,651.

  • ii. The Company entered into an agreement with a third party to receive a $100,000 loan, $50,000 of which to make an option payment on the Norbeau Gold property, and $50,000 for general working capital. The Company intends to settle the amount by issuing $120,000 worth of its common shares upon completion of the upcoming private placement.

  • iii. The Company received $96,300 in non-interest bearing, demand loans to assist with working capital requirements.

  • iv. The Company received a $40,000 loan as financial assistance from the government of Canada offered as part of the response to the Covid-19 global pandemic. The loan is interest free until December 31, 2022. $10,000 of the loan will be forgiven if $30,000 is repaid prior to December 31, 2022. If the balance is not paid by December 31, 2022, the remaining balance will be converted to a three-year term loan at 5% annual interest, paid monthly, effective January 1, 2023. The final balance must be repaid no later than December 31, 2025. On December 18, 2020, the Company was approved for an additional limit increase of $20,000 for a total limit of $60,000. If the Company is subsequently notified upon review by income tax authorities that it does not qualify for obtaining loans under the CEBA program, it will be required to repay all amounts borrowed immediately.

  • v. As a result of a settlement agreement with a vendor, and as management reviews and confirms valuation and existence of aged liabilities, existing accounts payable balances were written down by a total of $405,816.

  • vi. Subsequent to the year-ended July 31, 2020, the Company announced a non-brokered private placement of 20,000,000 at a price of $0.06 per unit for gross proceeds of up to $1,200,000.

Property Exploration Summary

Fairview South Okanagan Property

On August 24, 2012, the Company entered into an option agreement with William McKinney, Turnagain Resources Inc. and Knight-Castle Mercantile Inc. to acquire a 100% interest in a series of claims, collectively referred to as the Fairview South Okanagan Property located in British Columbia. The initial Property holding comprised 15 mineral claims covering approximately 762 hectares located 6.4 kilometres west of the town of Oliver BC, in the Okanagan mining division. On November 28, 2013, the Company acquired four additional tenures contiguous to the property that now form part of the Fairview South Okanagan Property.

Historical production from three parallel quartz vein systems on the property totaled 512,000 tonnes grading 3.99 grams per tonne gold and 49.1 grams/tonne silver (Barker and Trenaman, 1987). Initial production was started in the 1890s with the majority of production undertaken by Cominco Ltd. (“Cominco” now Teck Resources Limited) between 1946 and 1961. The material was utilized as flux by Cominco in the trail smelter.

Sufficient material remained within the mines at the time of shutdown in 1961 to encourage Cominco to subsequently evaluate a plan of operations at a projected gold price of $400. That program, as summarized in a 1980 report, was based upon a historical resource and envisioned a production scenario of 255,000 tonnes per year or 700 tonnes per day for a period of 10 years. This plan was not implemented, and subsequent exploration and evaluation work was conducted by Oliver Gold, but operations were not continued and the property has remained dormant. These historical resources do not meet the criteria for an NI 43-101-compliant resource of any category as defined in CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, dated Nov. 27, 2010, and as such should not be relied upon. An updated current resource has been calculated for the property as discussed below.

The Company retained Apex Geoscience Ltd. (“Apex”) to prepare a National Instrument 43-101 report on the Fairview gold property, near Oliver, in the Okanagan Valley of Southern British Columbia, Canada. Kristopher Raffle, BSc, PGeo, Senior Geologist, and Michael Dufresne, MSc, PGeo, President of Apex, co-ordinated compilation of historic exploration data and completion of the report.

The report is based on a voluminous historic exploration dataset, including work conducted by Highland Valley Resources Ltd. and Oliver Gold Corp. during the period 1985 to 1994, which included drilling of approximately 5,000 metres of core, 400 metres of underground drifting and extensive rock geochemical sampling. That work post-dated exploration and development by Cominco that consisted of drilling of numerous core holes, many hundreds of metres of underground drifts, and extensive stopping of production materials. The majority of surface plans, geologic logs and assay results from drilling, plus underground plans and sections are available for compilation.

This data has been digitized, compiled and used to create a modern 3-D geologic and mineralization model for the property which will guide future exploration to the ideal locations for bulk sampling and drilling work. The intent is to obtain a bulk sample and directly ship the material to a nearby mill for custom milling. Depending on the results obtained in the bulk samples, it is anticipated that additional preparations will be made for the eventual continued shipment of material from the underground target zones. This will allow a sequential evaluation of a number of the higher-grade zones suggested by historical drilling and mining data, to eventually develop into a mining plan as exploration advances and as funding is obtained.

Management Discussion and Analysis For the years ended July 31, 2020 and 2019

On August 21, 2013, the National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report prepared by Apex was filed on SEDAR. The mineral resource estimate comprises an inferred mineral resource of 334,000 tonnes averaging 2.9 g/t Au and 17.9 g/t Ag, based on a cut-off grade of 1.0 g/t Au. This includes a higher-grade core zone of 51,000 tonnes grading 11 g/t gold and 38g/t silver.

On February 24, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement with Turnagain Resources Inc. and 0998601 B.C Ltd. to acquire a 100% interest in an additional ten mineral claims comprising 760.1 hectares. As consideration, the Company issued 3,000,000 common shares valued at $30,000, representing the fair value of the shares at the time of issuance.

On August 6, 2015, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with Turnagain Resources Ltd and 0998601 BC Ltd to acquire 100% undivided interest in one mineral title comprising 21.12 hectares located in British Columbia. As consideration, the Company has issued 60,000 of its common shares valued at $6,000, representing the fair value of the shares at the time of issuance.

The Company purchased additional claims to expand the Fairview property and to consolidate the land holdings for purposes of assessment work distribution. The property has had a small amount of surface work conducted to facilitate the addition of newly acquired properties in order to expedite filings of assessment work.

On July 9, 2018, the Company entered into an option agreement with 1150892 B.C. Ltd. (the “Optionee”) whereby the Optionee can acquire up to a 100% undivided participating interest in certain mineral tenures comprising the Fairview South Okanagan Property by making periodic cash payments totaling $1,500,000 to the Company and incurring exploration expenditures totaling $975,000 on or before July 9, 2022. During fiscal year ended July 31, 2020, this agreement was terminated by both parties. The Company has not received any payments in relation to this option agreement.

During the year ended July 31, 2019, the Company has been notified by Parks Canada that a portion of the mining property comprising the Fairview South Okanagan Property is being considered for inclusion into a proposed Federal Park in the area. The Company is in discussions with Parks Canada personnel regarding future treatment of the mineral properties within and adjacent to the proposed South Okanagan Grasslands Park. The economic impact of this land debate on the Company is unknown at this time.

The Company intends to establish an early-stage field-based exploration program in early 2021 comprising of surface trenching, geologic mapping and channel sampling on the sites highlighted by previous drilling and mining activities.

Illite Clay- Kootenay Clay

On October 25, 2017, the Company acquired 145.46 hectares in one claim unit located in central British Columbia containing significant quantities of illite clay outcropping at the service level.

In February 2018 an additional 4 claims comprising 290.95 hectares was acquired from the same vendors for an increased total of 436.41 hectares. Consideration for this purchase was $13,500 and 750,000 shares of Hi Ho Silver Resources Inc. Additional land totaling 436.76 hectares was staked by Company personnel on June 18, 2018, bringing the current land position to a total of 873.17 hectares Exploration potential for the property is believed to be substantial. A site visit to the property was undertaken by Company representatives on June 17, 2018, and materials were removed and stored for additional testing.

An agreement for exclusive worldwide distribution rights for the clay was reached with NHP Industries (“NHP”) of Burnaby, B.C. on March 18, 2018. Fulfillment of this agreement requires that NHP, or it’s associate partners, invest $1,000,000 by way of a private placement subscription originally scheduled to be completed by March 31, 2018. Despite extensions, such funding has not been received. The agreement has been extended to allow NHP more time to secure funding. NHP has since increased the promised investment amount to $3,000,000. Due to inclement winter weather, the Company originally granted an extension of the March 31, 2018 deadline until the removal of the clay which commenced on June 18, 2018. During the summer season at least 60,000 kg of clay was transported to the Company’s storage facility near Vancouver. Delivery of a 10,000 kg sample shipment was made to NHP and partial payment has been received.

On June 5, 2018, a Strategic Investor (1166847 BC Ltd.) committed to invest $1,000,000 by way of a private placement subscription at a price of $0.10 per unit, as a pre-requisite to the exclusive world-wide distribution rights agreement for the Illite clay, the Company agreed to allow 1166847 BC Ltd. first Option to Joint Venture two properties which the Company owns and manages. These properties are 1) Bralorne Gold Property (near Lillooet BC) and 2) NIK Cobalt/Nickel Property located in north central BC. Both Options were for a limited period of 90 days, and both Option periods have expired.

There are no established reserves or resources on the Kootenay Clay property, and the Company will require exploration and development work to establish any resource or reserve. There can be no assurance that any resource can be established, or if established that such will be economically recoverable. There has been no Preliminary Economic Assessment or Feasibility Study conducted on the property. Any proposed production from the property will be conducted without the benefit of such study and consequently may present a higher risk to the investor.

A report on the property is in preparation with Apex Geoscience.

Bralorne Project, British Columbia

Based on lack of activity and intent to further invest in the property the Company has recorded an impairment expense for the full value of the property. An impairment charge of $41,066 has been recorded in the statement of comprehensive loss for the year ended July 31, 2019.

NORBEAU GOLD PROJECT: NORBEAU GOLD MINE, AND BEAUROX PROPERTIES

The Company optioned two contiguous properties, the Beaurox property comprising 28 unpatented mining claims covering approximately 1000 Ha, and the Norbeau property covering 637 Ha in two claim groups, both located in McKenzie Township, have been optioned by the Company from two separate owners.

On November 9, 2018, the Company issued a 500,000 common shares as finders’ fees for the Beaurox option at a fair value of $25,000, and 750,000 common shares at a fair value of $37,500 option payment.

During the year ended July 31, 2019 the company paid the first installment of $50,000, but the Company did not make the second cash instalment due on the first anniversary of the effective date prior to the deadline. The default was not cured in the permitted time frame, so the Company lost the option on the Beaurox property. As a result, the Company wrote off 100% of the acquisition costs related to the Beaurox property. The Company has recorded an impairment charge of $112,500 in the statement of comprehensive loss for the year ended July 31, 2019.

On November 4, 2019 the Company issued 750,000 shares with a fair value of $33,750 related to the first anniversary share instalment. This has been written off in full during fiscal year ended July 31, 2020 due to the cancellation of the Beaurox property option on February 6, 2020.

For the year ended July 31, 2020, total operating expenses were $499,287 (July 31, 2019 - $1,083,187). The overall decrease of $583,900 was attributable to:

11

HI HO SILVER RESOURCES INC.

Management Discussion and Analysis For the years ended July 31, 2020 and 2019

  • A decrease of $30,131 in rent expenses due to the accounting treatment changes as a result of the adoption and application of IFRS 16 Leases standard.

  • A decrease of $515,277 to share based payments expense primarily due to the issuance of options and management fees during the prior year that was non-recurring for fiscal 2020. The Company also reduced the volume of consulting contracts which include share-based payments during the end of fiscal 2019, which reduces share-based payment levels in fiscal 2020.

These decreases are partially offset by:

  • An increase of $28,466 to amortization expense related to the transition to the IFRS 16 Leases standard which required recognition of right of use assets for the Company’s mobile office and vehicle leases, resulting in recognition of amortization of these assets rather than rent expense as in the comparative period.

  • An increase of $22,083 in listing, exchange and transfer fees due to the filing of cease trade orders during fiscal 2020 that did not occur in the prior year.

  • An increase of $19,174 in bad debt expense due to the expected lifetime credit loss on 100% of an overdue trade receivable amount that was recorded in the current year.

Other items were $47,644 (2019 - $306,066). The decrease of $353,710 was due to the following:

  • An increase in write down of accounts payable of $405,816 due to the settlement of $177,684 previously owed to a vendor and a write down of $228,132 owed to various vendors that were determined to be time-barred in pursuant to the Limitation Act according to the legal opinion obtained by the Company.

  • A decrease in impairment loss on loan receivable of $112,500, which related to a loan to a previous officer of the Company that was deemed uncollectable in the prior period and did not recur in the current year.

  • A decrease in loss on ITOCO Mining earn-in agreement due to the agreement with ITOCO Mining Corp. was cancelled in the prior year and resulted in the loss on the transaction as disclosed in Note 5 of the financial statements. There was no such occurrence in the current year.

The decrease was offset by:

  • An increase in finance expenses of $46,127 due to an increase in $12,983 of interest on leases, an increase in $20,000 of accrued interest on loan payable and an increase in bank activities during the year.

  • An increase in impairment of exploration and evaluation assets of $158,479 due to the cancellation of the Beaurox property option agreement during fiscal 2020 and Norbeau option agreement in December 2020. The written off amount represents all payments made on the option agreement and all exploration costs incurred on the properties as at July 31, 2020.

Management Discussion and Analysis For the years ended July 31, 2020 and 2019

During the fourth quarter ended July 31, 2020, operating losses increased by $39,346 compared to the prior quarter of fiscal 2020. The increase was mainly due to an increase in listing, exchange and transfer fees of $19,036, an increase in bad debt expense of $20,824 and an increase in finance expenses of $29,195, net against a reduction in consulting fees of $11,407, a reduction in share-based payment of $11,293 and a reduction in office, administration and miscellaneous expenses of $5,653. The increase in listing, exchange and transfer fees was due to the fees incurred for extending filling deadlines. The increase in bad debt expense was due to the Company’s assessment of the expected lifetime credit loss for an overdue trade receivable amount that was recorded in the period. The increase in finance expenses was due to the accrued interest of $20,000 on a loan received during the year. The reduction in consulting fees was due to a year-end accrual adjustment recorded in the fourth quarter to reflect the actual consulting fees for the year. The reduction of share-based payments were due to deferred compensation in the form of a loan paid to an officer to purchase shares of the Company being fully amortized in the third quarter, and hence, no further compensation expense under this arrangement was recorded in the fourth quarter. The reduction in share-based payments was due to the reduction of office, administration and miscellaneous expenses was due to a decrease in fuel and parking fees in the fourth quarter.

During the third quarter ended April 30, 2020, operating losses decreased by $7,768 compared to the second quarter 2020 due to a decrease in share-based payment of $12,807. This was caused by a decrease in the amortized deferred compensation compared to the second quarter as noted above.

During the fourth quarter of the prior fiscal year ended July 31, 2019, operating loss increased by $162,198 compared to the third quarter primarily due to a $192,454 increase in share-based payments.

These expense decreases were offset by a $25,097 increase in cash-based consulting, salaries, and benefits, and a $21,966 increase in office, administration, and miscellaneous expenses.

During the second quarter ended January 31, 2019, operating loss increased by $243,322, compared to the prior quarter due to a $299,027 increase in share-based payments.

The following standards were adopted by the Company during the year ended July 31, 2020:

18

HI HO SILVER RESOURCES INC.

Management Discussion and Analysis For the years ended July 31, 2020 and 2019

IFRS 16 ‘Leases’: IFRS 16 is effective for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. This standard sets out a new model for lease accounting. The Company adopted this standard on August 1, 2019 and recognized right-of-use assets and lease liabilities pertaining to its leased vehicles of $160,883 and $158,383 respectively.

Amendment to IFRS 16 “Covid-19 Related Rent Concessions” to provide exemption from assessing whether a COVID-19 related rent concession is a lease modification. The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after June 1, 2020. Early application is permitted for financial statements not yet authorized for issue as at May 28, 2020. The Company has applied this amendment for the lease payment concessions during the year ended July 31, 2020. The adoption of the standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

On 28 May 2020, the IASB published 'Covid-19-Related Rent Concessions (Amendment to IFRS 16)' amending the standard to provide lessees with an exemption from assessing whether a COVID-19-related rent concession is a lease modification. The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 June 2020

O. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT RISK

The Company is exposed, through its operations, to the following financial risks:

  • a) Credit risk

  • b) Liquidity risk

  • c) Foreign exchange risk

  • d) Interest rate risk

The Company is exposed to risks that arise from its financial instruments. This section describes the Company’s objectives, policies, and processes for managing those risks and the methods used to measure them. There have been no substantive changes in the Company’s exposure to financial instrument risks, its objectives, polices and processes for managing those risks or the methods used to measure them from previous reported periods unless otherwise stated in the note. The overall objective of the Board is to set policies that seek to reduce risk as far as possible without unduly affecting the Company’s competitiveness and flexibility.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to fulfill an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. The Company’s cash on bank deposit and its receivables are exposed to credit risk. The carrying amount of financial assets represents the Company’s maximum credit exposure. The Company has assessed the credit risk on its cash as low as its funds are held in highly rated Canadian financial institutions. The Company’s exposure to credit risk related to receivables is influenced by receivables from one single customer, which represents 72% of the Company’s account receivable balance as at July 31, 2020. The Company has established an allowance for expected credit loss for the assessed credit risk of this customer and has recorded a provision of $20,824 as at July 31, 2020.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company manages liquidity by maintaining adequate cash balances and by raising equity financings. The Company has no assurance that such financings will be available on favorable terms. In general, the Company attempts to avoid exposure to liquidity risk by obtaining corporate financing through the issuance of common shares.

As at July 31, 2020, the Company had cash of $13,943 (July 31, 2019 - $1,724) to settle current liabilities of $1,158,494 (July 31, 2019 - $1,035,917) which fall due for payment within twelve months of the statement of

financial position. All of the Company’s contractual obligations are current and due within one year. All of the Company’s financial liabilities are due on demand.

Foreign exchange risk

Foreign exchange risk is the risk that fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company does not believe that it is subject to significant foreign exchange risk and does not hold any funds in foreign currencies as at July 31, 2020 (July 31, 2020 – $Nil).

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in the market interest rates. Management considers the interest rate risk to be minimal as at and for the year ended July 31, 2020.

Basis of fair value

Financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value are grouped in Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable:

Level 1 - fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; and

Level 2 - fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and

Level 3 - fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable marker data (unobservable inputs).

The Company's financial instruments include cash, deferred compensation, trade payables and accrued liabilities, due to related parties, loans payable, promissory note payable, and provisions. With the exception of cash, the carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments approximate their fair values due to their relatively short periods to maturity. Cash is measured at fair value using level 1 inputs.

Q. OUTSTANDING SHARE DATA

R. RISK FACTORS

Mining and exploration risks

Hi Ho Silver Resources Inc. is an exploration stage company and currently has interests in exploration and development properties in British Columbia and California. Substantially all of the Company’s efforts are devoted to financing and developing these properties. There has been no determination whether the Company's interests in exploration properties contain mineral reserves which are economically recoverable.

The business of mining and exploring for minerals involves a high degree of risk and there can be no assurance that current exploration programs will result in profitable mining operations. The recoverability of the carrying value of exploration properties and the Company's continued existence is dependent upon the preservation of its interest in the underlying properties, the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the achievement of profitable operations, or the ability of the Company to raise alternative financing, if necessary, or alternatively upon the Company's ability to dispose of its interests on an advantageous basis. Changes in future conditions could require material write downs of the carrying values.

Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to the properties on which it is conducting exploration and in which it has an interest, in accordance with industry standards for the current stage of exploration of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee the Company's title. Property title may be subject to unregistered prior agreements and non-compliance with regulatory requirements.

Going Concern

The Company has not generated revenue from operations. The Company incurred a net loss and comprehensive of $451,643 for the year ended July 31, 2020 and as of that date the Company’s accumulated deficit was $20,886,700. As the Company is in the exploration stage, the recoverability of the costs incurred to date on exploration properties is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financial resources to complete the exploration and development of its properties and upon future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition of the properties and deferred exploration expenditures.

The Company will periodically have to raise funds to continue operations and, although it has been successful in doing so in the past, there is no assurance it will be able to do so in the future. These factors comprise a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Market Price of Common Shares

The trading price of the common shares is likely to be significantly affected by short term changes in mineral prices or in its financial condition or results of operations as reflected in its quarterly earnings reports. Other factors unrelated to the Company’s performance that may have an effect on the price of the common shares include the following: the extent of analytical coverage available to investors concerning the Company’s

21

HI HO SILVER RESOURCES INC.

Management Discussion and Analysis For the years ended July 31, 2020 and 2019

business; the lessening in trading volume and general market interest in the Company’s securities may affect an investor’s ability to trade significant numbers of common shares; and the price of the common shares and size of the Company’s public float may limit the ability of some institutions to invest in the Company’s securities.

As a result of any of these factors, the market price of the common shares at any given point in time may not accurately reflect the Company’s long-term value. Securities class action litigation often has been brought against companies following periods of volatility in the market price of their securities. The Company may in the future be the target of similar litigation. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and damages and divert management’s attention and resources.

Dilution to Common Shares

During the life of the Company’s outstanding common share purchase warrants, as well as options and other rights granted or assumed by the Company, if any, the holders are given an opportunity to profit from a rise in the market price of the common shares. The Company’s ability to obtain additional financing during the period such rights are outstanding may be adversely affected and the existence of the rights may have an adverse effect on the price of the common shares. The holders of common share purchase warrants, options and other rights of the Company may exercise such securities at a time when the Company would, in all likelihood, be able to obtain any needed capital by a new offering of securities on terms more favorable than those provided by the outstanding rights.

The increase in the number of common shares in the market and the possibility of sales of such shares may have a depressive effect on the price of the common shares. In addition, as a result of such additional common shares, the voting power of the Company’s existing shareholders will be diluted.

Future Sales of Common Shares by Existing Shareholders

Sales of a large number of common shares in the public markets, or the potential for such sales, could decrease the trading price of the common shares and could impair the Company’s ability to raise capital through future sales of common shares.

Future Profits or Losses and Production Revenues and Expenses

There can be no assurance that significant losses will not occur in the near future or that the Company will be profitable in the future. The Company's operating expenses and capital expenditures may increase in subsequent years as required consultants, personnel and equipment associated with advancing exploration, development and commercial production of the Company’s properties and any other properties that the Company may acquire are added. The amounts and timing of expenditures will depend on the progress of ongoing exploration and development, the results of consultants’ analyses and recommendations, the rate at which operating losses are incurred, the execution of any joint venture agreements with strategic partners and the Company's acquisition of additional properties, in addition to other factors, many of which are beyond the Company's control.

The Company expects to incur expenditures and losses unless and until such time as the Company’s properties are acquired or achieve a sufficient level of commercial production and revenues to fund continuing operations. The development of the Company’s properties will require the commitment of substantial resources to conduct the time-consuming exploration and development of properties. There can be no assurance that the Company

22

HI HO SILVER RESOURCES INC.

Management Discussion and Analysis For the years ended July 31, 2020 and 2019

will generate any revenues or achieve profitability, nor can there be any assurance that the underlying assumed levels of expenses will prove to be accurate.

Acquisitions and Integration

From time to time, the Company examines opportunities to acquire additional mining assets and businesses. Any acquisition that the Company may choose to complete may be of a significant size, may change the scale of the Company’s business and operations, and may expose the Company to new geographic, political, operating, financial and geological risks. The Company’s success in its acquisition activities depends on its ability to identify suitable acquisition candidates, negotiate acceptable terms for any such acquisition, and integrate the acquired operations successfully with those of the Company. Any acquisitions would be accompanied by risks. For example, there may be a significant change in commodity prices after the Company has committed to complete the transaction and established the purchase price or exchange ratio; a material ore body may prove to be below expectations; the Company may have difficulty integrating and assimilating the operations and personnel of any acquired companies, realizing anticipated synergies and maximizing the financial and strategic position of the combined enterprise, and maintaining uniform standards, policies and controls across the organization; the integration of the acquired business or assets may disrupt the Company’s ongoing business and its relationships with employees, customers, suppliers and contractors; and the acquired business or assets may have unknown liabilities which may be significant. If the Company chooses to raise debt capital to finance any such acquisition, the Company’s leverage will be increased. If the Company chooses to use equity as consideration for such acquisition, existing shareholders may suffer dilution. Alternatively, the Company may choose to finance any such acquisition with its existing resources. There can be no assurance that the Company would be successful in overcoming these risks or any other problems encountered in connection with such acquisitions.

Competition

The Company's business is intensely competitive in all of its phases and the Company will compete with other mining companies for natural resource acquisition opportunities, many of which have greater resources and technical facilities than the Company. Competition in the mining industry is primarily for mineral rich properties which can be developed and can produce economically; the technical expertise to find, develop, and operate such properties; the skilled labor to operate such properties; and the capital for the purpose of funding such properties. Many competitors not only explore for and mine metals, but also conduct refining and marketing operations on a worldwide basis. Such competition may result in the Company being unable to (i) acquire desired properties, (ii) recruit or retain qualified employees or (iii) raise or generate the capital necessary to fund its operations and develop its properties. The Company's inability to compete with other mining companies for these resources could have a material adverse effect on its operations, financial condition, and trading price of the securities of the Company.

Loss of Key Employees

The Company depends on the business and technical expertise of a number of key personnel, including its directors and executive officers and key personnel working fulltime in management and administrative capacities or as consultants.

The number of persons skilled in the acquisition, exploration and development of mining properties is limited and competition for such persons is intense. As the Company’s exploration and development activities expand, it will require additional key personnel. The Company does not maintain life insurance for such personnel. The

23

loss of any key personnel, or the failure to retain such personnel, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations and financial condition.
