As a foreign private issuer that prepares its financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), the Registrant is required to submit to the SEC and post on its corporate website Interactive Data Files (as defined by Item 11 of Regulation S-T) pursuant to Rule 405 of Regulation S-T and General Instruction B, paragraph 15 of Form 40-F.

However, it is the view of the SEC’s Division of Corporation Finance and Office of the Chief Accountant that the Registrant is not required to submit to the SEC and post on its corporate website Interactive Data Files until the SEC specifies on its website an IFRS taxonomy for use by foreign private issuers in preparing their Interactive Data Files.  

As of the submission date of this Annual Report on Form 40-F, the SEC has not specified an IFRS taxonomy for the Registrant to use in preparing its Interactive Data Files.



PRINCIPAL DOCUMENTS

The following documents have been filed with this Annual Report on Form 40-F:

A. Annual Information Form

For the Registrant’s Annual Information Form (“AIF”) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, see Exhibit 99.1 of this Annual Report on Form 40-F.

B. Audited Annual Financial Statements and accompanying Management’s Discussion and Analysis

For the Registrant’s Consolidated Audited Annual Financial Statements and accompanying Management’s Discussion and Analysis for fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, including the report of Independent Registered Chartered Accountants with respect thereto, see Exhibit 99.2 of this Annual Report on Form 40-F. The Registrant’s Consolidated Audited Annual Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB.



FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Annual Report on Form 40-F and the principal documents filed as exhibits to this Annual Report on Form 40-F contain forward-looking statements and information, within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, as amended, relating to the Registrant that are based on the beliefs and estimates of management as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to the Registrant.  Such forward-looking statements and information include, but are not limited to:



2




 


The future price of silver;


The estimation of mineral reserves and mineral resources;


Estimates of the time and amount of future silver production for specific operations;


Estimated future exploration expenditures and other expenses for specific operations;


Permitting time lines;


Requirements for additional capital;


Litigation risks;


Currency fluctuations; and


Environmental risks and reclamation cost.


When used in this Annual Report on Form 40-F and the principal documents filed as exhibits to this Annual Report on Form 40-F, any statements that express or involve discussions with respect to predictions, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, assumptions or future events of performance (often but not always using words or phrases such as “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “expect”, “intend”, “plan”, “strategy”, “goals”, “objectives”, “project”, “potential” or variations thereof or stating that certain actions, events, or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “will” be taken, occur, or be achieved, or the negative of any of these terms and similar expressions) as they relate to the Registrant or management, are intended to identify forward-looking statements and information.


Such statements reflect the Registrant’s current views with respect to future events and are subject to certain known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions.


Many factors could cause actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements that may be expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements and information, including, among others:


risks relating to the Registrant’s ability to finance the exploration and development of its mineral properties;


risks relating to the Registrant’s ability to obtain all necessary licenses and permits that may be required to carry out exploration and development of its mineral properties and business activities;


risks and uncertainties relating to the interpretation of exploration results, geology, grade and continuity of the Registrant’s mineral deposits;


commodity price fluctuations (particularly gold and silver commodities);


currency fluctuations and inflation pressures;


risks related to governmental regulations, including environmental regulations;


the Registrant’s ability to attract and retain qualified management and the Registrant’s dependence upon such management in the development of its mineral properties;


increased competition in the exploration industry;


the Registrant’s lack of infrastructure; and


the Registrant’s history of losses and expectation of future losses.


Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in this Annual Report on Form 40-F and the principal documents filed as exhibits to this Annual Report on Form 40-F. This list is not exhaustive of the factors that may affect any of the Registrant’s forward-looking statements and information. Forward-looking statements are statements about the future and are inherently uncertain, and actual achievements of the Registrant or other future events or conditions may differ materially from those reflected in the forward-looking statements and information due to a variety of risks, uncertainties and other factors, including without limitation, those referred to in the AIF under the heading “Risk Factors” and elsewhere. The Registrant’s forward-looking statements and information are based on the reasonable beliefs, expectations and opinions of management on the date the statements are made, and the Registrant does not assume any obligation to update forward-looking statements and information if circumstances or management’s beliefs, expectations or opinions should change.

 

3




 


For the reasons set forth above, investors should not attribute undue certainty to or place undue reliance on forward-looking statements and information.


Adjacent Property Disclosure


The staff of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission takes the position that mining companies, in their filings with the SEC, should describe only those mineral deposits that the companies themselves can economically and legally extract or produce.  The AIF filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Annual Report on Form 40-F contains information regarding adjacent properties on which we have no right to explore or mine, and is considered by management to be of material importance to the Registrant and its land holdings in the area.  Investors are cautioned that mineral deposits on adjacent properties are not necessarily probative of the existence, nature or extent of mineral deposits on our properties.


Cautionary Note to Investors Concerning Estimates of Inferred and Indicated Resources


The AIF filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Annual Report on Form 40-F uses the terms "Inferred Resources" and "Indicated Resources".  The Registrant advises investors that although these terms are recognized and required by Canadian regulations (under National Instrument 43-101 -- Standard of Disclosure for Mineral Projects), the SEC does not recognize these terms.  Investors are cautioned that "inferred resources" have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, except in rare cases. Investors are cautioned not to assume that part or all of an inferred resource exists, or is economically or legally mineable.  Investors are further cautioned not to assume that any part or all of an indicated mineral resource will be converted into reserves. 


Please consult the Registrant's public filings at www.sedar.com and www.sec.gov for further, more detailed information concerning these matters.



DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

After evaluating the effectiveness of the Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures as required by paragraph (b) of Exchange Act Rule 13a-15, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Registrant have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 40-F, the Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that material information required to be disclosed by the Registrant in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, and accumulated and communicated to the Registrant’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.



MANAGEMENT’S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f).  


Management recognizes that effective internal control over financial reporting may nonetheless not prevent or detect all possible misstatements or frauds. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate.


Management has evaluated the effectiveness of the Registrant's internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the Registrant’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 using the framework in “Internal Control – Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).  Based on this evaluation, management concluded that, as of the end of the Registrant’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, the Registrant maintained effective internal control over financial reporting.

Deloitte & Touche LLP, the Independent Registered Chartered Accountants firm that audited the Registrant's Consolidated Audited Annual Financial Statements for the Registrant’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 included in this Annual Report on Form 40-F, has issued an attestation report on the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.  



ATTESTATION REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT REGISTERED CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS

A copy of Deloitte & Touche LLP’s attestation report on the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting is provided in the Registrant's Consolidated Audited Annual Financial Statements, which is filed as Exhibit 99.2 to this Annual Report on Form 40-F.



CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

During the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 40-F, no changes occurred in the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting that were identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rule 13a-15 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.



NOTICES PURSUANT TO REGULATION BTR

Not applicable.


     AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT

The Registrant’s Board of Directors has determined that it has at least one audit committee financial expert serving on its Audit Committee.

Mr. White holds an undergraduate degree in Geological Engineering and is a Chartered Accountant.  The SEC has indicated that the designation of Derek White as an audit committee financial expert does not make him an “expert” for any purpose, impose any duties, obligations or liability on him that are greater than those imposed on members of the Audit Committee and Board of Directors who do not carry this designation, or affect the duties, obligations or liability of any other member of the Audit Committee or Board of Directors.
