GLOSSARY OF TERMS

The following glossary, which is not exhaustive, should be used only as an adjunct to a thorough reading of the entire document of which it forms a part.

adit: A horizontal or close-to-horizontal tunnel, man-made for mining purposes.

Ag: The chemical symbol for silver on the Periodic Table.

andesite: A fine-grained brown or greyish intermediate volcanic rock.

Au: The chemical symbol for gold on the Periodic Table.

breccia: A course-grained rock, composed of angular, broken rock fragments held together by a mineral cement or a fine-grained matrix.

chloritization: A form of alteration of a rock involving the replacement by, conversion into, or introduction of chloride.

crosscuts: Mine openings or passageways that intersect a vein or ore bearing structure at an angle.

epithermal: Applied to hydrothermal deposits formed at low temperature and pressure.

Feasibility Study: A detailed study of a deposit in which all geological, engineering, operating, economic and other relevant factors are engineered in sufficient detail that it could reasonably serve as the basis for a final decision by a financial institution to finance the development of the deposit for mineral production.

felsic: Applied to an igneous rock having abundant light-colored materials.

hectare: A metric unit of land measure equal to 10,000 square metres or 2.471 acres.

hydrothermal: Relating to hot fluids circulating in the earth's crust.

Indicated Mineral Resource: As defined by the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy, and Petroleum, an Indicated Mineral Resource is 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. i

Inferred Mineral Resource: As defined by the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy, and Petroleum, an Inferred Mineral Resource is 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.ii

Measured Mineral Resource: As defined by the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy, and Petroleum Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, a Measured Mineral Resource is part


- 4 -

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 a 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.

mineral: An inorganic substance having usually a definite chemical composition and, if formed under favourable conditions, having a certain characteristic atomic structure which is expressed in its crystalline form and other physical properties.

Mineral Resource: As defined by the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy, and Petroleum, a Mineral Resource is 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 from specific geological evidence and knowledge.

Much of the information included in this annual report includes or is based upon estimates, projections or other "forward looking statements". Such forward looking statements include any projections or estimates made by our Company and our management in connection with our business operations. While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the direction of our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions or other future performance suggested herein.

Such estimates, projections or other forward looking statements involve various risks and uncertainties as outlined below. We caution the reader that important factors in some cases have affected and, in the future, could materially affect actual results and cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed in any such estimates, projections or other forward looking statements.

The common shares of our Company are considered speculative. You should carefully consider the following risks and uncertainties in addition to other information in this annual report in evaluating our Company and our business before purchasing shares of our Company's common stock. Our business, operating and financial condition could be harmed due to any of the following risks.

Risks Associated with Mining

As our properties are in exploration, development and mining stages there is no assurance as to the full extent that we will be establishing commercial discoveries on our properties.


- 11 -

Despite a 48-year history of continuous production at the Topia Mine, extensive exploration work on our mineral claims and current commercially profitable operations there, the full extent of the ore bodies has yet to be established in accordance with Canadian NI 43-101.

Similarly, at the Guanjuato Mine Complex, with its estimates of historic production ranging from 700 million ounces to 1.5 billion ounces of silver and 4 to 7 million ounces of gold since 1548, with extensive exploration work done to date, with current physical mining and with the production of increasing quantities of silver and gold concentrates, it is nevertheless too early to determine the full extent of the ore bodies in accordance with Canadian NI 43-101.

Mineral operations are subject to government regulations which could have the effect of reducing or preventing us from exploiting any possible mineral reserves on our properties.

Mining and exploration activities are also subject to national and local laws and regulations governing prospects, taxes, labour standards, occupational health, land use, environmental protection, mine safety and others which currently or in the future may have a substantial adverse impact on our Company. In order to comply with applicable laws, we may be required to make capital expenditures until a particular problem is remedied. Existing and possible future environmental legislation, regulation and action could cause additional expense, capital expenditures, restriction and delays in the activities of our Company, the extent of which cannot be reasonably predicted. Violators may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of our mining activities and may be fined if convicted of an offence under such legislation.

Mining and mineral exploration has substantial operational risks, which could prevent us from achieving profitable operations.

Mining and mineral exploration involves many risks, which even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome. Operations in which we have an interest will be subject to all of the hazards and risks normally incidental to exploration, development and production of base, precious and other metals, any of which could result in damage to or destruction of mines and other producing facilities, damage to life and property, environmental damage and possible legal liability for any or all damage. The nature of these risks is such that liabilities could exceed policy limits of our insurance coverage, in which case we could incur significant costs that could prevent us from becoming profitable. Most exploration projects do not result in the discovery of commercially mineable ore deposits and no assurance can be given that any anticipated level of recovery of ore reserves will be realized or that any identified mineral deposit will ever qualify as a commercially viable ore body which can be legally and economically exploited.

Our projects are located in Mexico where mining and exploration activities may be affected in varying degrees by political and government regulations, which could have a negative impact on our ability to continue our operations.

Mining and exploration activities in Mexico may be affected in varying degrees by political instabilities and government regulations relating to the mining industry. Any changes in regulations or shifts in political conditions are beyond our control and may adversely affect our business. Our operations may also be affected in varying degrees by government regulations with respect to restrictions on production, price controls, export controls, income taxes, expropriations of property, environmental legislation and mine safety. The status of Mexico as a developing country may make it more difficult for us to obtain any required financing for our projects. The effect of all these factors cannot be accurately predicted. Notwithstanding the progress achieved in restructuring Mexican political institutions and revitalizing its economy, the present administration, or any successor government, may not be able to sustain the


- 12 -

progress achieved. While the Mexican economy has experienced growth in recent years, such growth may not continue in the future at similar rates or at all. If the economy of Mexico fails to continue its growth or suffers a recession, we may not be able to continue our operations in that country. We do not carry political risk insurance.

Our operations may be subject to environmental regulations which may result in the imposition of fines and penalties.

Our operations may be subject to environmental regulations promulgated by government agencies from time-to-time. There is no assurance that environmental regulations will not change in a manner that could have an adverse effect on our Company's financial condition, liquidity or results of operations. Environmental legislation is constantly expanding and evolving in ways that impose stricter standards and more rigorous enforcement, with higher fines and more severe penalties for non-compliance, and increased scrutiny of proposed projects. There is an increased level of responsibility for companies, and trends towards criminal liability for officers and directors for violations of environmental laws, whether inadvertent or not. The cost of compliance with changes in governmental regulations has a potential to reduce the profitability of our operations.

While we maintain appropriate insurance for liability and property damage, we may become subject to liability for hazards that cannot be insured against, which if such liabilities arise, could reduce or eliminate profitability for our Company.

Our operations may involve the use of dangerous and hazardous substances. While extensive measures are taken to prevent discharges of pollutants in the ground water and the environment, and it is anticipated that we will maintain appropriate insurance for liability and property damage in connection with our business, we may become subject to liability for hazards that cannot be insured against or which we may elect not to insure ourselves against due to high premium costs or other reasons. Should such liabilities arise, they could reduce or eliminate the profitability of us resulting in a decline in the value of our securities. In the course of mining and exploration of our mineral properties, certain risks and, in particular, unexpected or unusual geological operating conditions including rock bursts, cave-ins, fires, flooding and earthquakes may occur. It is not always possible to fully insure against such risks and we may decide not to take out insurance against such risks as a result of high premiums or other reasons. Should such liabilities arise, they could reduce or eliminate any future profitability and result in increasing costs and a decline in the value of our securities.

There can be no assurance that title to any property interest acquired by us or our subsidiary is secured.

Although we have taken reasonable precaution to ensure that legal title to our properties is properly documented, there can be no assurance that our Company's, or our subsidiaries’, property interests may not be challenged or impugned. Such property interests may be subject to prior unregistered agreements or transfers or other land claims, and title may be affected by undetected defects and adverse laws and regulations.

We have a limited operating history on which to base an evaluation of our business and prospects.

Since we have only recently begun mining and further development of our mining properties, we only have a limited operating history on which to base an evaluation of our future prospects. Our operating activities since 2004, have consisted primarily of locating and acquiring the interest in the properties that we currently hold. In the first part of 2006, we commenced production at the Topia Mine and limited production at the Guanajuato Mine Complex, and only increased production at both locations in the second half of 2006. For the year ended 2006, we generated $7,069,442 in revenue compared to $0 for


- 13 -

the twelve month period ending December 31, 2005. Although we have prepared internal mining plans and cash flow analyses for the Topia Mine and Guanajuato Mine Complex, we have no way to evaluate the likelihood that we will be able to operate our business successfully or that our properties contain a sufficient amount of recoverable reserves. We recognize that if we are unable to generate significant revenues from our mining operations and any dispositions of our properties, we will not be able to earn profits or continue operations, potentially resulting in significant losses in the foreseeable future. At this early stage of our operation, we also expect to face the risks, uncertainties, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies at the early stage of their business development. We cannot be sure that we will be successful in addressing these risks and uncertainties and our failure to do so could have a materially adverse effect on our financial condition. Aside from the professional track record of our Company’s management team, there is no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that our Company will prove successful and we can provide investors with no assurance that we will generate any net operating revenues or achieve profitable operations.

The fact that we have only recently generated significant revenues for one year raises some doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

We have generated revenues for one year since beginning our mining and exploration activities in Mexico. We may continue to incur greater operating expenses than revenues until all our mining properties are sufficiently developed to sustain commercial production and as a result, we may need to undertake further financing. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully mine, develop and explore our mining properties or that viable reserves exist on our properties for extraction. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash inflow to support our business activities during the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007, we may be forced to delay, scale back, or eliminate our mining and exploration activities.

Because we have only recently begun to earn revenue from our business, we may need to raise additional funds for the further exploration and development of our mining claims and to respond to unanticipated requirements or expenses. We do not currently have any arrangements for financing and we can provide no assurance to investors that we will be able to find such financing if it is required. The most likely source of future funds presently available to our Company is through the sale of equity capital. All of these circumstances raise some doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The report of the independent registered public accounting firm on our 2006 annual financial statements includes an additional explanatory paragraph that states that conditions or events exist, which raise some doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of that uncertainty.

Our properties are in the production, development and exploration stages; however, they have not all been proven commercially viable at this time and there is no assurance that commercially viable quantities of ore will continue to be discovered.

Our mineral properties are in the early production, development, and/or exploration stages and are not all commercially viable at this time. Despite extensive exploration work on our mineral properties and a long history of continuous production at both the Topia and Guanajuato mines, no known bodies of commercial ore or economic deposits have been established to the satisfaction of National Instrument 43-101 on any of the mineral properties. Mineral exploration involves a high degree of risk. There is no assurance that commercially viable quantities of ore will be discovered at our exploration sites, or that our exploration properties will be brought into commercial production. If we are not able to continue to locate sufficient quantities of commercially viable ore and bring our exploration properties into commercial production, we may not be able to continue operations and, as a result, our shareholders may lose any investment in our Company.


- 14 -

There is substantial risk that no commercially exploitable minerals will be found at our exploration properties and our business may fail.

The search for valuable minerals as a business is extremely risky. We can provide investors with no assurance that the mineral claims that we have an option to acquire contain commercially exploitable reserves. Exploration for minerals is a speculative venture necessarily involving substantial risk. The probability of an individual prospect having reserves and being commercially profitable is remote and, if a property does not contain any reserves, the funds we have spent or will spend on exploration of such property will be lost.

We are subject to environmental protection legislation with which we must comply or suffer sanctions from regulatory authorities.

If the results of our geological exploration program indicate commercially exploitable reserves and we decide to pursue commercial production of our mineral claims, we may be subject to an environmental review process under environmental assessment legislation. Compliance with an environmental review process may be costly and may delay commercial production. Furthermore, there is the possibility that we would not be able to proceed with commercial production upon completion of the environmental review process if government authorities do not approve our mine or if the costs of compliance with government regulation adversely affect the commercial viability of the proposed mine.

Mineral prices are subject to dramatic and unpredictable fluctuations.

The market price of precious metals and other minerals is volatile and cannot be controlled. If the price of precious metals and other minerals should drop significantly, the economic prospects of the projects in which we have an interest could be significantly reduced or rendered uneconomic. There is no assurance that, even if commercial quantities of ore are discovered, a profitable market may exist for the sale of same. Factors beyond our control may affect the marketability of any minerals discovered. Mineral prices have fluctuated widely, particularly in recent years. The marketability of minerals is also affected by numerous other factors beyond our control, including government regulations relating to royalties, allowable production and importing and exporting of minerals, the effect of which cannot be accurately predicted.

If we cannot locate qualified personnel, we may have to suspend or cease operations which will result in the loss your investment.

Not all of our directors and officers have direct training or experience in metals exploration or mining and as a result, they may not be fully aware of any of the specific requirements related to working within the industry. Their decisions and choices may not take into account standard engineering or managerial approaches that mineral exploration companies commonly use. Consequently, our operations, earnings and ultimate financial success could suffer irreparable harm. As a result, we may have to suspend or cease operations which would result in the loss of your investment.

Risks Associated with our Business

We have limited financial resources and there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future. Failure to obtain such financing may result in a delay or indefinite postponement of further exploration, development and mining of our projects.

We have limited financial resources and we have no assurances that additional funding will be available to be used for working capital, to further develop the Company’s mines and exploration properties, to


- 15 -

fulfil certain contractual obligations and to fund corporate overhead costs. Although we have been successful in the past in obtaining financing through the sale of equity securities and, recently, through the sale of minerals, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or that the terms of such financing will be favourable, or that our sale of minerals will generate sufficient revenues. Failure to obtain such additional financing could result in a delay or indefinite postponement of mining activities, exploration and development of our projects and the possibility of loss of such properties.

Fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates may affect our results.

Virtually all of the goods and services required by us in connection with our operations in Mexico and costs for the further acquisition of interests in our properties, will be paid for in Mexican pesos or United States dollars. Prices for goods and services offered to members of the mining industry in Mexico, when quoted in Mexican pesos, are, for the most part, adjusted so as to remain competitive with prices offered in respect of the same goods and services in the United States and Canada. Nonetheless, an increase in the value of the Mexican pesos or of the United States dollar relative to the Canadian dollar, which is not followed by such an adjustment, may affect the ability of our Company to carry out our exploration and development programs and may substantially increase the costs of such programs.

Variations in the market prices of metals may affect our ability to raise funding to continue exploration, development and mining of our properties. In addition, any significant fluctuations in metal prices will impact on our decision to accelerate or reduce our exploration activities.

Factors beyond our control may affect the marketability of any substances discovered. The prices of various metals have experienced significant movement over the last two years, and are affected by numerous factors beyond our control, including international economic and political trends, expectations of inflation, currency exchange fluctuations, interest rates and global or regional consumption patterns, speculative activities and increased production due to improved mining and production methods. The supply of and demand for metals are affected by various factors, including political events, economic conditions and production costs in major mineral producing regions. Variations in the market prices of metals may affect our ability to raise funding to continue exploration of our properties. In addition, any significant fluctuations in metal prices will impact on our decision to accelerate or reduce our exploration activities.

We are dependant on the services of certain key officers, namely Robert Archer, Kaare Foy and Ing. Francisco Ramos Sanchez, and the loss of these certain key personnel may have a materially adverse effect on our Company.

While engaged in the business of mining and exploring mineral properties in Mexico, the nature of our business, our ability to continue our exploration of potential projects, and to develop a competitive edge in the marketplace, depends, in large part, on our ability to attract and maintain qualified key management personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense, and we may not be able to attract and retain such personnel. Our growth has depended, and in the future will continue to depend, on the efforts of our key management personnel such as Robert A. Archer, our President, CEO and a director, Kaare G. Foy, our Chairman of the Board, CFO and a director and Ing. Francisco Ramos Sanchez, our Vice President, Operations. The loss of any of these people would have a material adverse effect on us. Currently, we have contracts with these key employees. We do not have key-man life insurance.


- 16 -

Conflicts of interest may arise as a result of our directors and officers being directors and officers of other natural resource companies.

Certain of our directors and officers may continue to be involved in a wide range of business activities through their direct and their indirect participation in corporations, partnerships or joint ventures. Situations may arise in connection with potential acquisitions and investments where the other interests of these director and officers may conflict with the interests of our Company. Our directors and officers with conflicts of interest will be subject to and will follow the procedures set out in the applicable corporate legislation.

Risks Relating to an Investment in our Securities

Trading in our common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) is limited and any sporadic trading may make it difficult for our shareholders to sell their shares or liquidate their investments.

The trading price of our shares has been and may continue to be subject to wide fluctuations. Trading prices of our shares may fluctuate in response to a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, the stock market in general, and the market for gold and silver exploration companies in particular, has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of such companies. These broad market and industry factors may adversely affect the market price of our shares, regardless of our operating performance.

In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company's securities, securities class-action litigation has often been instituted. Such litigation, if instituted, could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management's attention and resources.

Our By-laws indemnify our officers and directors against all costs, charges and expenses incurred by them.

Our By-laws contain provisions limiting the liability of our officers and directors for all acts, receipts, neglects or defaults of themselves and all of our other officers or directors or for any other loss, damage or expense incurred by our Company which shall happen in the execution of the duties of such officers or directors, as do indemnification agreements between us and our directors. Such limitations on liability may reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against our officers and directors and may discourage or deter our shareholders from suing our officers and directors based upon breaches of their duties to our Company, though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit our Company and our shareholders.

Investors' interests in our Company will be diluted and investors may suffer dilution in their net book value per share if we issue incentive stock options to our employees, directors, officers and consultants.

We have granted, and in the future may grant, to directors, officers, insiders, and key employees options to purchase our common shares as non-cash incentives to those persons. Such options have been and may in future, be granted at exercise prices equal to market prices, or at prices as allowable under the policies of the TSX. The issuance of additional shares will cause our existing shareholders to experience dilution of their ownership interests.


- 17 -

Investors' interests in our Company will be diluted and investors may suffer dilution in their net book value per share if we issue additional shares or raise funds through the sale of equity securities.

We are currently without a proven and reliable source of revenue and may be required to issue additional shares to finance our operations and, depending on the outcome of our exploration programs and mining operations, may issue additional shares to finance additional programs and mining operations or to acquire additional properties. In the event that we are required to issue additional shares or decide to enter into joint ventures with other parties in order to raise financing through the sale of equity securities, investors' interests in our Company will be diluted and investors may suffer dilution in their net book value per share depending on the price at which such securities are sold. As at December 31, 2006, there are also outstanding common share purchase warrants and options exercisable into 20,380,078 common shares which, if exercised, would represent approximately 23% of our issued and outstanding shares. If all of these shares are exercised and issued, such issuance also will cause a reduction in the proportionate ownership and voting power of all other shareholders. The dilution may result in a decline in the market price of our shares.

We have a history of net losses and there is no assurance that we can reach profitability in the future.

We have a history of losses and there is no assurance that we can reach profitability in the future. We may require significant additional funding to meet our business objectives which includes expanding our current mining facilities and operations, further developing our existing exploration properties and acquiring additional mineral properties. We may not be able to obtain additional financing on reasonable terms, or at all, depending on market conditions and the market sentiment towards the Company. If equity financing is required, then such financings could result in significant dilution to existing shareholders. If we are unable to obtain sufficient financing, we might have to dramatically reduce mining and exploration activities, and/or lose control of our projects. We have historically obtained the preponderance of our financing through the issuance of equity as there is no limit to the number of authorized common shares. There are no other plans to obtain financing, if needed, other than through equity financing.

U.S. investors may not be able to enforce their civil liabilities against us or our directors, controlling persons and officers.

It may be difficult to bring and enforce suits against us. We were incorporated under the Company Act (British Columbia) and continued in the Yukon Territory under the Business Corporations Act (Yukon), and then continued to British Columbia under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) on July 9, 2004. All of our directors and officers are residents of countries other than the United States and all of our assets are located outside of the United States. Consequently, it may be difficult for United States investors to affect service of process in the United States upon those directors or officers who are not residents of the United States, or to realize in the United States upon judgments of United States courts predicated upon civil liabilities under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. There is substantial doubt whether an original action could be brought successfully in Canada against any of such persons or us predicated solely upon such civil liabilities.

Trading of our stock may be restricted by the SEC's "Penny Stock" regulations which may limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our stock.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations which generally define "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to


- 18 -

persons other than established customers and "accredited investors". The term "accredited investor" refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer's confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in, and limit the marketability of, our common stock.

U.S. investors could suffer adverse tax consequences if we are characterized as a passive foreign investment company.

We may be treated as a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, for United States federal income tax purposes during the 2007 tax year or in subsequent years. We may be deemed a PFIC because previous financings combined with proceeds of future financings may produce, or be deemed to be held to produce, passive income. Additionally, U.S. citizens should review the section entitled "Taxation-U.S. Federal Income Taxation - Passive Foreign Investment Companies" contained in this annual report for a more detailed description of the PFIC rules and how those rules may affect their ownership of our capital shares.

If we are or become a PFIC, many of the U.S. shareholders will be subject to the following adverse tax consequences:

-

They will be taxed at the highest ordinary income tax rates in effect during their holding period on certain distributions on our capital shares, and gains from the sale or other disposition of our capital shares;

-

They will be required to pay interest on taxes allocable to prior periods; and

-

The tax basis of our capital shares will not be increased to fair market value at the date of their date.

We do not expect to declare or pay any dividends.

We have not declared or paid any dividends on our common stock since our inception, and we do not anticipate paying any such dividends for the foreseeable future.

ITEM 4           Information on the Company

A.           History and Development of Great Panther

We were originally incorporated under the Company Act (British Columbia) in 1965 under the name Lodestar Mines Ltd. Since that time, we have had the following name changes:

- in 1980, to Lodestar Energy Inc.
   
- in 1985, to Controlled Environmental Farming Int'l Ltd.
   
- in 1987, to International Controlled Investments Inc.
   
- in 1991, to New Age Ventures Inc.
   
- in January 1998, to Great Panther Inc.
   
- in October 2003, to Great Panther Resources Limited.

On March 22, 1996 we continued under the Business Corporation Act (Yukon). On July 9, 2004, we continued to British Columbia under the Business Corporation Act (British Columbia).

We have offices located at Suites 350 and 2100, 1177 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6E 2K3, Canada. Our telephone number is 604-608-1766, and our facsimile number is 604-608-1744.

Our Company is currently a reporting issuer under the securities laws of British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario.

On June 18, 1980, our common shares were listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (formerly known as the CDNX, and the Vancouver Stock Exchange). Our trading symbol is "GPR", and until February 27, 2005, we were classified by the TSX Venture Exchange as a Tier 2 company.

On October 2, 2003, we consolidated our common shares whereby every ten common shares before consolidation became one common share after consolidation.

On February 11, 2004, we entered into an option agreement granting our Company the right and option, for a period of three years, to purchase 100% of the ownership rights in and to the Santo Nino Mining Concession located in the Guadalupe y Calvo Mining District, State of Chihuahua, Mexico by making staged cash payments totalling US$165,000 with no underlying NSR and no work commitments. We made cash payments totaling US$20,000 during the year ended December 31, 2004, cash payments totalling US$20,000 during year ended December 31, 2005 and cash payments totaling US$30,000 during the year ended December 31, 2006. Subsequent to December 31, 2006, the Company paid an additional US$95,000 thus fulfilling all conditions of the option agreement.

On February 28, 2004, we entered into an option agreement granting our Company the right and option, for a period of three years plus 30 days, to purchase 100% of the ownership rights in and to the San Taco Mining Concessions located in the Guadalupe y Calvo Mining District, State of Chihuahua, Mexico by making staged cash payments totalling US$965,000 with no underlying NSR and no work commitments. We made a cash payment of US$50,000 during the year ended December 31, 2004 and a cash payment of US$75,000 during the 2005 fiscal year in accordance with the option agreement. The Company elected


- 20 -

not to make the required US$100,000 payment on February 28, 2006 and as a result forfeited all rights and options to the property.

On December 31, 2004, we entered into a letter of intent to acquire up to an 80% interest in certain mineral properties located in the Cerro Colorado Mining District of Pima County in southern Arizona. On February 4, 2005, we elected not to proceed with this proposed acquisition.

On June 13, 2005, we signed an option agreement to purchase 100% of the ownership rights in and to two mining claims designated as the Virimoa Property located in the Topia Mining District, State of Durango, Mexico. Terms of the agreement call for our Company to make four staged cash payments and share issuances totaling US$300,000 and 300,000 shares (100,000 issued), over a period of three years, to the property owner. If the option is exercised, the property owner will retain a 2% NSR, half of which can be purchased for US$1,000,000.

In May 2005, we received title for an additional 2,184 hectares staked by us in the Guadalupe y Calvo Mining District of southwest Chihuahua State, Mexico, increasing the size of our San Antonio Project to 12,274.7 hectares.

On June 30, 2005, we entered into an agreement to purchase 100% of the ownership rights in and to all the fixed assets, machinery, equipment and Topia Silver-Lead-Zinc Mine located in the Municipality of Topia, State of Durango, Mexico. Upon signing the agreement, we paid a total of US$540,165 to the vendor and to two divisions of Peñoles, the latter being part of the assumed debt. The balance of the purchase price, approximately US$1.76 million, is divided between the vendor (US$946,000 owed) and La Cienega, a division of Peñoles. While the debt to the vendor will be paid in stages over the next three years, the debt to La Cienega will be paid effectively from the proceeds of production as a 10% NSR. We have the option of paying out the debt in full at any time. During 2006, a total of US$628,507 was paid in respect of the Topia Mine debt, being US$328,507 to La Cienega subsidiary of Peñoles and US$300,000 to the vendor, Cia Minera de Canelas y Topia S.A. de C.V (“Canelas”). As at December 31, 2006, a total of US$1,135,986 was owing by us on the Topia Mine, namely US$486,067 to La Cienega, and US$646,919 to Canelas.

On July 12, 2005 we incorporated Metalicos de Durango, S.A. de C.V. and on October 5, 2005 we incorporated Minera de Villa Seca, S.A. de C.V. These two operational subsidiaries of our Company are responsible for the day-to-day affairs and operations of the Topia Mine and Guanajuato Mine respectively.

On October 25, 2005, we signed a formal purchase agreement to acquire a 100% interest in a group of producing silver-gold mines in Guanajuato, Mexico. The total purchase price is US$7,250,000 which includes 1,107 hectares in two main properties, the 1,200 tonne-per-day plant, workshops and administration facilities, complete mining infrastructure, mining equipment, and certain surface rights (real estate). At December 31, 2005, we had paid US$3,650,000 of the total purchase price to the vendor. At December 31, 2006, we had made the final payment for the Guanajuato Properties.

Subsequent to December 31, 2005, we decided not to actively commit to further exploration of the San Taco property and as a result the value of the property as at December 31, 2005, was determined to be nil. As such, the acquisition costs associated with the property ($403,634) was expensed as part of the write down of property cost.

On February 28, 2006, the TSX Venture Exchange elevated our classification from a Tier 2 company to a Tier 1 company.


- 21 -

On March 8, 2006, we purchased a 100% interest in the Arcoiris concession. The agreement required a cash payment of US$20,000 upon signing of the purchase agreement (paid) and additional staggered payments totalling US$280,000 (US$80,000 paid) over a three year period. The 100 hectare Arcoiris concession contains portions of the strike extension and down-dip projection of the Dos Amigos Vein that the Company has already started developing on its own ground. In addition, the new claim contains much of the Don Antonio vein, from which Peñoles produced silver-lead-zinc in the past.

On May 24, 2006, we announced the purchase of 3.88 hectares of land adjacent to the plant at our Guanajuato Silver-Gold Mine Complex from Sociedad Cooperativa Minero Metalurgica Santa Fe de Guanajuato for a total of US $690,425. A payment of US$ 201,825 was made at the time of signing of the purchase agreement. The remaining US$488,600 was paid during the 5-month period that followed. On June 1, 2006 we closed a private placement offering (the "Offering"), with Jennings Capital Inc. (“Jennings”), as underwriter, of 5,000,000 units of the Company ("Units"), on an underwritten basis, at a price of $2.00 per Unit to raise gross proceeds of $10,000,000. Jennings elected to exercise the overallotment option to sell up to an additional 2,500,000 units at a price of $2.00 per unit for gross aggregate proceeds of $15,000,000.

Each Unit comprises one common share and one-half of one transferable share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder, upon exercise, to acquire one common share of the Company at a price of $2.65 until June 1, 2008. After the expiration of the hold period the Company has the right to accelerate the expiry date of the warrants if the closing price of the Company's common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange exceeds $3.35 for a period of 20 consecutive trading days.

Jennings was paid a commission of $958,750 and received broker warrants equal to 6.5% of the number of units issued under the Offering. Proceeds from the Offering have been and will continue to be used to accelerate the ongoing exploration and development activities on the Guanajuato and Topia Mines, for evaluation of potential acquisitions and for general corporate purposes.

On June 15, 2006, we held our annual and special general meeting, at which Kaare G. Foy, Robert A. Archer, Malcolm A. Burne, and John T. Kopcheff were elected as our directors, KPMG LLP, Chartered Accountants was elected auditor for the year, and our rolling 10% incentive stock option plan was approved by shareholders.

On June 23, 2006, we paid a cash instalment of US$50,000 and issued a second share allotment of 50,000 to its June 15, 2005 option agreement with Minera Aciero del Fuego S.A. de C.V. to purchase the Virimoa Property. The shares were subject to a holding period, which expired October 21, 2006.

On July 7, 2006, Great Panther appointed Mr. A. Michael Turko to its board of directors.

On September 11, 2006, we signed an option agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the Mapimi Project in eastern Durango State, Mexico. The project consists of 17 concessions comprising 3,508 hectares and hosts significant silver-lead-zinc-gold mineralization with excellent potential for a large bulk tonnage deposit. The property is bisected by paved highway approximately 100 kilometres from Peñoles' smelter at Torreon and as such, the infrastructure is considered excellent. Terms of the agreement call for the Company to make 6 staged cash payments and share issuances totalling US$3,000,000 (US$100,000 paid) and 500,000 shares, over a period of 4 years. If the option is exercised, the vendors will retain a 3% NSR, each 0.5% of which, up to 2%, can be purchased for US$500,000.

On November 13, 2006, our common shares began trading on the TSX with the trading symbol “GPR”. Subsequently, we were de-listed from the TSX Venture Exchange.


- 22 -

On December 7, 2006, we signed a letter of intent with Altair Ventures Inc. whereby Altair has the option to earn 70% interest in our San Antonio property. The terms of the agreement stipulate that Altair will make three staged payments and share issuances to Great Panther totalling US$200,000 and 200,000 shares over a period of 3 years. Over the same period, Altair must spend a total of US$1,000,000 in exploration on the project. Great Panther will be the operator of the exploration program.

B.           Business Overview

We are an active mining and exploration company listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”), trading under the symbol “GPR”. Our current activities are focused on the mining of precious and base metals from our two wholly owned mines in Mexico. In addition, we are also involved in the acquisition, exploration and development of other properties in Mexico that have a potential for success, based upon the recommendation of our technical director and professional advisors, and the assessment of our board of directors.

We have the following property interests:

C.           Primary Mining Properties

Topia Mine

The property consists of three groups of exploitation concessions covering a total area of 1,555 hectares and one group of exploration concessions covering a total of 4,844 hectares, for a grand total of 6,399 hectares. The largest group of exploitation concessions, the Topia group, consists of 39 claims covering 1,275 hectares. In addition to the Topia group are two satellite claim groups known as the Las Papas group and the Jarillal group and cover approximately 228 hectares and 52 hectares, respectively. The exploration concessions completely surround the Topia group.

We had conducted extensive work on the Topia property as far back as 2004. The diamond drill program conducted between June 2004 and February 2005 comprised 7,436 metres in 30 surface holes with results evidencing high grade silver-lead-zinc mineralization. Five separate areas were tested with one or two main veins present in each area. The main goal of the program was to test the strike, dip and grade continuity of the veins beyond where they had been mined in the past in order to indicate the exploration potential of the property and to guide the short term underground development work with the goal of successfully re-opening the mine.

In December 2005, we commenced limited production at the Topia Silver-Lead-Zinc Mine in Durango, Mexico.

In March 2006, we reached a significant milestone in becoming a primary silver producer with our first shipment of concentrates from operations. In the second half of 2006, we commissioned our second ball mill increasing the plant’s production from 120 to 170 tonnes per day. We anticipate commissioning the plant’s third ball mill in 2007, which would increase the plant’s potential capacity to 300 tonnes per day.

More than a dozen sub-parallel veins are known to exist at Topia and some extend for more than 4 kilometres along strike. During the year, ongoing westward development of the mine continued to demonstrate high grades of silver-lead-zinc. In addition, new underground drilling and sampling has shown that the deeper portions of the Madre, La Dura, and Animas veins are also increasingly rich in gold. Although vein widths are narrow in this part of the district, the Company is continuing to use a resuing method of mining that significantly reduces dilution, such that the grades reported from sampling are very close to head grades reported at the plant. The increase in gold grades in some of these veins will


- 23 -

obviously enhance the economics of their development, particularly as they have been found to be up to ten times the historical gold grades at Topia.

In order to increase production and maximize efficiencies in this area, Great Panther purchased a 100% interest in a strategic claim in March 2006 that is contiguous with the existing Topia Mine Property. The 100 hectare Arcoiris concession contains portions of the strike extension and down-dip projection of the Dos Amigos Vein that the Company was developing on its own ground. In addition, the new claim contains much of the Don Antonio vein, from which Peñoles produced silver-lead-zinc in the past.

Immediately behind the plant, a decline ramp from the main access adit (tunnel), Level 'A', has intersected the western edge of previous stoping on the Argentina vein. This is the top priority area for development and exploitation due to its proximity to the mill and the presence of multiple parallel, thick and high grade silver-lead-zinc veins. A cross-cut from the ramp intersected the main vein wherein 3 channel samples returned grades of 2,060 to 2,640 g/t Ag and 29 to 36% combined Pb-Zn over 1.0 metre. The vein in the end of the westernmost stope is still approximately 1.0 metre wide and consists of quartz-barite with bands of galena and sphalerite (sampling in progress). The distance from here to the closest surface drill hole (A04-02 from Great Panther's 2004 program that returned grades of 708g/t Ag, 4.0% Pb and 4.2% Zn over 1.8 metres) is approximately 300 metres, part of which contains former reserve blocks of Peñoles (now classified as Historical Resources). This represents a large block of potential high grade resources and will be targeted by an underground drill program. Small scale production from the Argentina vein began in FY07-Q1 and will build as the veins are developed on multiple levels.

Production - Topia Mine

During the first quarter of the fiscal year, the Company reached a significant milestone in its transition to becoming a primary silver producer with the first shipment of concentrates from the Topia Mine in March 2006. Production increased throughout the year and the commissioning of a second ball mill raised the plant’s capacity from 120 to 170 tonnes per day (tpd). The Company anticipates a further increase in the plant’s throughput to 200 tpd by mid-2007 and to 300 tpd by early 2008.

For the year, throughput at the plant was 22,445 tonnes at a head grade of 340 g/t Ag, 0.66 g/t Au, 3.23% Pb and 3.93% Zn, or 25.3 oz/t Ag Eq. Average recoveries of 86.6% for Ag, 83.0% Au, 85.8% Pb and 84.7% Zn were realized which resulted in the production of 208,005 oz Ag, 406 oz Au, 1,381,637 lbs Pb and 1,636,139 lbs Zn for a silver equivalent production of 483,775 ounces.

A summary of production at Topia for 2006 is as follows:

  FY06-Q1 FY06-Q2 FY06-Q3 FY06-Q4 TOTAL
           
Tonnes milled 3,699.7 4,592.2 6,948.3 7,204.8 22,445.0
           
Gold ounces 69.2 85.4 106.4 145.0 406.0
Silver ounces 40,138.3 52,859.1 49,085.8 65,921.6 208,004.8
Lead tonnes 121.3 145.2 153.0 208.5 628.0
Zinc tonnes 130.8 166.4 201.8 244.8 743.8
           
Silver equivalent ounces (Ag eq) 90,381 115,672 121,166 156,556 483,775


- 24 -

In addition to the material processed for the Company’s account, an additional 5,912 tonnes were processed for various local miners. This custom milling uses up some of the excess plant capacity, helping to lower overall costs and increase efficiencies.

Production costs at Topia were reduced throughout the year and have continued to decline in 2007. Production costs were CDN$3,715,363 for FY06. The Company also incurred costs with the direct purchase of minerals from various independent miners.

Guanajuato Mine Complex

The Guanajuato Silver-Gold Mine Complex in Guanajuato, Mexico consists of three principal mines, the Valenciana, Cata and Rayas. These mines occupy the heart of the 25 kilometre long Veta Madre (Mother Lode) structure that controls the majority of the silver-gold mineralization in the Guanajuato Mine District. Silver was discovered in the area in 1548 with estimates of historical production ranging from 700 million to 1.5 billion ounces of silver, and 4 to 7 million ounces of gold.

Limited drilling was completed on the property in the 1980's and 1990's which indicated that silver-gold mineralization continues to depth under the existing workings. Based upon this work, a "reserve" and "resource" estimation, representing a possibility of 4.7 million ounces of silver and 38,000 ounces of gold was completed in 2000. This resource and reserve estimate is considered to be part of the global resource of 2,750,000 tonnes grading 1.56 g/t Au and 176 g/t Ag, established by the previous owners of the property. Neither of these disclosures follows the requirements for reserves and resources outlined in NI 43-101 and both are regarded as historical in nature.

Mining at Guanajuato has been conducted since the year 1600, initially by the Spaniards but since 1939 by a mining cooperative. Production by the latter, from whom the Company bought the property, had dwindled to about 200 tonnes per day by 2005, despite the plant capacity of 1,200 tonnes per day. It stopped completely in August of that year and Great Panther took possession of the mine in December 2005.

Mining is currently being conducted in the San Vicente North and Guanajuatito areas, both of which are accessible by ramps. San Vicente North is adjacent to the southeast side of the old Animas Mine, where surface drilling by Great Panther in 2006 intersected zones of previously unknown high grade silver-gold mineralization. Similarly, mining at Guanajuatito is pursuing a zone of high grade mineralization intersected by the Company’s surface drilling in late 2005. As such, both of these areas are expected to play a significant role in the near term production plans of the Company. Furthermore, that this mineralization is located near surface underscores the probability that the upper levels of the Guanajuato Mine Complex have not been mined out.

In May 2006, the Company purchased an additional 3.88 hectares of real estate adjacent to the plant at the Guanajuato Silver-Gold Mine Complex in order to facilitate any future expansion of the plant facilities and to protect the plant site from any possible development nearby. Great Panther already owns the land occupied by the plant and administration facilities and the Company has now received clear title to the new property.

From Q4 2005 to year-end 2006, the surface diamond drilling program at Guanajuato totaled 6,753 metres in 34 holes and was highly successful in identifying and delineating three new zones of silver-gold mineralization in the northwest, central and southeast parts of the mine property. These discoveries highlight the lack of previous exploration on the property and the potential for new zones to be found throughout the mine. In addition, the easy access to these zones from existing underground workings means that they can be developed and mined quickly and cost-effectively.

Production - Guanajuato Mine Complex

After a period of preliminary plant and mine rehabilitation, Great Panther commenced production in June of 2006 on easily accessible low grade stockwork zones. The development of high grade zones did not proceed as quickly as originally anticipated however, and only in Q1 2007 did these reach the point where they were contributing to production. As such, the average head grades at Guanajuato remained low for 2006. With increasing production from the higher grade zones in 2007, the average grade for the mine has improved.

The plant at Guanajuato contains three ball mills, each of which has a nominal rating of 400 tpd. The Company initiated production with one ball mill and brought a second on stream in November 2006 such that the plant was running at an average of 700 tpd by year-end. It is anticipated that the third ball mill will be commissioned in mid-2007, effectively raising plant capacity to 1,200 tpd, although this rate will also depend upon the level of mine production. The aforementioned delays in the feed of higher grade ore from the mine meant that the plant did not operate to its full capacity during 2006. Total throughput for the period of operation in 2006 amounted to 86,111 tonnes at an average grade of 58 g/t Ag and 0.55 g/t Au, or 2.7 oz/t of silver equivalent (Ag Eq) for Ag Eq production of 155,085 ounces.

A summary of production at Guanajuato for 2006 is as follows:

    FY06-Q1 FY06-Q2 FY06-Q3 FY06-Q4 TOTAL
  Tonnes milled - 10,072.0 36,106.3 39,932.0 86,110.6
  Gold ounces - 180.6 387.4 419.7 987.7
  Silver ounces - 13,735.3 39,245.9 52,498.8 105,480.0
  Silver equivalent ounces (Ag eq) - 22,986 58,616 73,484 155,085

At Guanajuato, total production costs for FY06 totalled CDN$3,403,684. The Company anticipates 2007 production costs at Guanajuato to be lower with the achievement of higher grades.

D.           Primary Exploration Properties

Mapimi Project

The Mapimi Project (formerly Km66) is an advanced stage exploration project that hosts significant silver-lead-zinc-gold mineralization with excellent potential for a large bulk tonnage deposit. If continued work proves successful, it could be developed quickly with the goal of defining a new resource amenable to open pit mining, thereby significantly enhancing Great Panther's growing portfolio of silver projects. The property consists of 17 concessions in northeast Durango State and is bisected by a paved highway approximately 100 kilometres from Peñoles' smelter at Torreon, so infrastructure is considered excellent.

On September 11, 2006, the Company signed an Option Agreement for the right to earn a 100% interest in the 3,508 hectare property, subject to a 3% Net Smelter Return (“NSR”). Terms of the agreement call for the Company to make staged cash payments of US$3,000,000 and share issuances totalling 500,000 shares, over a period of 4 years. If the option is exercised, the Company can purchase up to 2% of the NSR, for US$500,000 per 0.5% .

On September 28, 2006, the Company filed a NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate for the property prepared by Wardrop Engineering (“Wardrop”) of Vancouver, B.C., which is available for viewing on the


- 26 -

Company’s website at www.greatpanther.com or under the Company’s profile at www.sedar.com. The independently produced report estimated that the Palmitas and Gloria Zones together contain an Inferred Mineral Resource of 4,969,800 tonnes at a grade of 59 g/t Ag, 0.13 g/t Au, 0.81% Pb and 1.31% Zn. Wardrop calculated that these grades equate to a silver equivalent grade of 139 g/t using commodity prices (based upon 3 year averages) of US$7.70/oz for silver, US$471/oz for gold, US$0.41/lb for lead and US$0.69/lb for zinc and recoveries of 76%, 70%, 80% and 80%, respectively. This resource equates to a total of 22.3 million ounces of silver equivalent.

The resource estimate was based upon a comprehensive exploration program completed on the property by Coeur d'Alene Mines during 1997 and 1998, wherein they drilled 81 reverse circulation holes (7,515 metres & 3,614 samples) and 22 diamond drill holes (2,983 metres & 900 samples). The geological database also includes 422 surface channel samples. Coeur d'Alene returned the property to the vendor in 1998 due to depressed mineral prices prevailing at that time. The resource includes 2,643,600 tonnes of oxide material at a grade of 51 g/t Ag, 0.11 g/t Au, 0.73% Pb and 0.98% Zn for a silver equivalent grade of 113 g/t and 2,326,200 tonnes of sulphide mineralization at a grade of 68 g/t Ag, 0.16 g/t Au, 0.90% Pb and 1.69% Zn for a silver equivalent grade of 169 g/t. As the grade of sulphide mineralization is 50% higher than the 40-60 metre-thick oxide zone, the Company expects the overall grade of the resource to increase over time as the deposit is extended to depth.

A first phase exploration program is underway and consists of detailed geological mapping and re-sampling of outcrops, adits and trenches; an airborne geophysical survey and ground induced polarization geophysical survey; and a 5,000 metre core drilling program, which commenced in December 2006.

San Antonio Project

The exploration and exploitation concessions comprising the San Antonio project cover an area of 12,274.7 hectares, and are located in the municipality of Guadalupe y Calvo, State of Chihuahua, Mexico, approximately 162 kilometres south-southwest of the city of Hidalgo de Parral, Chihuahua, and 265 kilometres southwest of the city of Chihuahua.

Multiple targets have been identified by Great Panther at San Antonio within a variety of geological settings, including gold-copper veins, breccias and stockworks, as well as silver-lead-zinc veins. A total of 20 separate mineralized structures have been identified to date. Underground sampling by the Company in 2004 along the Santo Nino Zone returned an average grade of 7.75 g/t gold over an average width of 3.03 metres along a 25 metre strike length. Great Panther previously had an option to acquire a 100% interest in the Santo Niño concession and, subsequent to year-end has exercised that right and is in the process of transferring the title. The Company now owns a 100% undivided interest in the entire San Antonio package. (During the year, the Company elected to discontinue exploration of the San Taco property, which previously formed part of the project).

On December 7, 2006, the Company signed a Letter of Intent with Altair Ventures Incorporated by which Altair was granted an option to earn a 70% interest in the San Antonio property. Pursuant to the Letter of Intent, Altair may exercise the option by making staged cash payments of US$200,000, (of which $20,000 has been received by the Company since December 31, 2006), issuing 200,000 Altair common shares to the Company and incurring a minimum US$1 million of exploration expenditures over a three-year period.

Virimoa Project

The two Virimoa concessions are located in the Topia Mining District of Durango, Mexico. The project consists of two mining concessions comprising 148 hectares and hosts a zone of intense alteration,


- 27 -

exposed for more than 350 metres. The Virimoa property is situated in the heart of the Sierra Madre Mineral Belt and is centrally located between several significant deposits. It lies approximately 17 kilometres southwest of the Company’s Topia Silver-Lead-Zinc Mine, which can be used for logistical support, and was identified as a result of Great Panther’s ongoing regional evaluation around the mine. In addition, Virimoa is approximately 30 kilometres west of La Ciénega, Mexico’s largest gold mine, currently in production and owned by Compañía Minera Peñoles.

In March 2005, fieldwork commenced on the Virimoa Gold Property with initial exploration comprising detailed and extensive channel sampling and mapping focused on an exposure of intense iron oxide alteration. This work attempted to better define the controls on mineralization and to trace its extent. As the property has good road access, specific drill targets were generated for a diamond drilling program, the first ever, which was conducted in April, 2005. The diamond drill program outlined the presence of multiple zones of gold-silver-copper-zinc mineralization across a width of more than 250 metres.

On June 13, 2005, the Company signed an Option Agreement to purchase a 100% interest in the Virimoa Property located in the Topia Mining District, State of Durango, Mexico. Terms of the agreement call for the Company to make four staged cash payments and share issuances totaling US$300,000 and 300,000 shares, over a period of three years. If the option is exercised, the property owner will retain a 2% NSR, half of which can be purchased for US$1 million.

There was no work conducted on the Virimoa Project in 2006 as the Company focused its efforts on getting its two mines into production.

E.           Revenues

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of concentrates based on the market metal prices and mineral content when title to the concentrates transfers to the customer, which generally occurs on the date of delivery. Revenue is recorded gross of treatment and refining costs paid to counter parties under terms of the off take arrangements. Revenue from the sale of the concentrates are subject to adjustment upon final settlement based upon metal prices, weights and assays. Adjustments to revenue for metal prices are recorded monthly and any other adjustments are recorded on final settlement.

For the year ended December 31, 2006, we earned $7,069,442 in revenue from our Topia and Guanajuato mining operations. Prior years’ revenues were nil.

Market Prices of Gold

The market prices of gold, silver and other precious metals have historically fluctuated widely and are affected by numerous global factors beyond our control. A decline in such market prices may have an adverse effect on revenues we receive from the sale of minerals. A decline in prices will also reduce our exploration efforts and make it more difficult to raise capital.

Seasonality of our Business

Our business is not expected to be seasonal and our mining and milling operations will be carried out year round.

Sources and Availability of Raw Materials

Other than water and power, both of which are readily available and do not experience any material price volatility, we do not require any raw materials with which to carry out our business.


- 28 -

Patents and Licenses; Industrial Commercial and Financial Contracts; and New Manufacturing Processes

In conducting our business operations, we are not dependent on any patented or licensed processes, technology, industrial, commercial or financial contracts or new manufacturing processes.

Competitive Conditions

We compete with other mining companies, some of which have greater financial resources and technical facilities, for the acquisition of mineral interests, as well as for the recruitment and retention of qualified employees.

Governmental Regulations

The mining industry in Mexico is controlled by the Secretaria de Economia – Dirección General de Minas which is located and administered from Mexico City. Mining concessions in Mexico may only be obtained by Mexican nationals or Mexican companies incorporated under Mexican laws. Mexican law grants concessions under the denominations of exploration or exploitation. The construction of processing plants requires further governmental approval.

The holder of an exploration concession is granted the exclusive right to explore a designated area. Exploration concessions are granted for a period of six years from the date of their recording in the Public Registry of Mining. Exploration concessions are not renewable after the end of the initial term. The holder of an exploration concession must file an application for an exploitation concession before the end of the six year term. If the concessionaire does not comply with this requirement, the concession will be cancelled. Exploitation concessions are granted for 50 years from the date of their registration with the Public Registry of Mining to the exploration concession holder as a matter of law if all regulations have been complied with. During the final five years of exploitation, the concession holder may apply for one additional 50 year period, which is automatically granted provided all other concession terms had been complied with.

In accordance with the Federal Duties Law ("LFD") the holder of an exploration concession is obligated to pay an exploration duty based upon the number of hectares covered by the concession area. These fees are determined per hectare as follows:

1.

during the first year, 2.0230 Mexican Pesos (approximately $0.20) per hectare;

   
2.

from the second to the fourth year, 6.01 Mexican Pesos (approximately $0.59) per hectare; and

   
3.

the fifth and subsequent years, 12.43 Mexican Pesos (approximately $1.21) per hectare.

The holder of an exploitation concession must pay biannual duties in January and July of each year as described under the LFD. These duties are in the following amounts:

1.

during the first and second year, 25.06 Mexican Pesos (approximately $2.45) per hectare;

   
2.

the third and fourth year, 50.34 Mexican Pesos (approximately $4.92) per hectare; and

   
3.

the fifth and subsequent years, 8.29 Mexican Pesos (approximately $0.81) per hectare.



- 29 -

Concessionaires for both exploration and exploitation must perform work each year that must begin within ninety days of the concession being granted. Concessionaires must file each May, proof of the work performed. Non-compliance with these requirements is cause for cancellation only after the Ministry of Mines communicates in writing to the Concessionaire of any such default, granting the Concessionaire a specified time frame in which to remedy the default.

The investment in exploration work must be at least equal to the amount resulting from applying the following table to the number of hectares covered by the exploration concession or by the grouping of mining concessions:



Surface Area (hectares)
Minimum Annual
Expenditure
(Mexican Pesos)
Additional Minimum Annual

From 5,001 to 50,000 10,500.00 15.50    53.00 120.00
From 50,001 onwards 100,000.00 14.00    50.00 120.00

In the case of groupings of exploration concessions, the additional fee per hectare is applied based on the date of issuance of the oldest concession which is part of the grouping.

There are no limitations on the total amount of surface covered by exploration or exploitation concessions or on the amount of land held by an individual or company. Excessive accumulation of land is regulated indirectly through the duties levied on the property and the production requirements as outlined above.

Mexican mining law does not require royalties to the Government, except for the discovery premium related to National Mineral Reserves, Concessions in Marine Zones and Allotments to the Council of Mineral Resources.

Our Mineral Properties/Projects

1. Topia Mine

a. Acquisition

Effective February 18, 2004, we entered into the Topia Option Agreement, which granted us the right and option, for a term of one year, to purchase 100% of the ownership rights in and to all the fixed assets, machinery, equipment and Topia Mining Concessions located in the Municipality of Topia, State of Durango, Mexico from Cia Minera des Canelas y Topia, as optionor, by making cash payments totalling US $1,426,919 as follows:

(a) US $100,000 within 10 days of the date of registration at the Mining registry of the option agreement;

(b) US $150,000 within 5 days of the date the Company notifies the optionor of its decision to exercise the option (notice must be given within 45 days of the one year term);

(c) US $540,165 on the date of signing of the purchase agreement;


- 31 -

(d) Three annual payments of US $300,000, US $300,000 and US $346,919 each of the first, second and third year, respectively, commencing 18 months after the date the Company notifies the optionor of its decision to exercise the option.

In addition to the payments to the optionor, we agreed to assume the debt encumbering the property, totalling US $814,594 upon signing of the purchase agreement. The debt owing is secured by the Topia Mine assets. The balance of the debt is repayable out of production from concentrate sales as a 10% Net Smelter Return. After the debt is repaid, there is no further NSR.

Other than discussed above, there are no other Net Smelter Return royalties, or other royalties payable, and there are no work commitments.

On March 8, 2006, the Company purchased a 100% interest in the Arcoiris concession. The agreement requires cash payments of US$20,000 (paid) upon signing of the purchase agreement and additional staggered payments totalling US$280,000 (US$80,000 paid). The Arcoiris concession is a strategic claim that is contiguous with the existing Topia Mine Property. The 100 hectare concession contains portions of the strike extension and down-dip projection of the Dos Amigos Vein that the Company has already started developing on its own ground.

b. Location and Accessibility

The property consists of three groups of exploitation concessions covering a total area of 1,555 hectares and one group of exploration concessions covering a total area of 4,844 hectares. The largest group of exploitation concessions, the Topia group, consists of 39 claims covering 1,275 hectares. Two satellite claim groups known as the Las Papas group and the Jarillal group cover approximately 228 hectares and 52 hectares, respectively. In addition to the exploitation concessions, the Topia 2 group consists of 14 exploration concessions, staked and owned 100% by our Mexican subsidiary, Minera Mexicana el Rosario, S.A. de C.V.

The Topia and the Topia 2 groups are located in the municipality of Topia in the west central part of Durango State, Mexico; the Las Papas group is about 10 kilometres northeast of the town of Topia; and the Jarillal group is near the town of Torance about six kilometres east of Topia. Access is gained by travelling north for roughly 200 km on paved highway #23 from Durango through the city of Santiago Papasquiaro, and then west on paved and gravel roads to the town of Topia, a distance of approximately 150 km. Total driving time from Durango City is about 8 hours. Most of the main roads in Topia are paved with concrete or cobblestones, and the town contains numerous stores, restaurants and hotels. A small airstrip on the east side of the town is serviced daily from Culiacán, Sinaloa by small aircraft. Flight time from Culiacán is less than an hour.

The property is located within the Sierra Madre Occidental Mountain Range. The terrain is quite steep and rugged with elevations ranging from approximately 600m in the river valleys in the western portion of the property rising to nearly 2,000m in the northeastern portion of the property where high level plateaus exist. The area is generally dry except during the rainy season when between 20-50cm of rain may fall. Mining operations and most exploration activities (especially underground exploration and development) can be conducted on a year-round basis. Access to the numerous mine entrances is via gravel roads that are narrow in the steep Sierra.

c. Mineralization

The veins of the Topia district have formed along the northeast series of faults. Mineralized veins are limited to the lower series of andesitic lavas and interbedded pyroclastics known as the Topia andesites.


- 32 -

These veins contain ore grade mineralization over a limited vertical extent of between 100 and 300 metres but this mineralized zone extends laterally along strike in individual veins for as much as four kilometres.

The workings on the site are named according to the vein worked and the name of the portal such as the Madre Vein on the Tres Varones level. Although some of the different veins are connected by crosscuts, in general the individual veins have been developed individually on several levels. This has resulted in numerous adits being used for production purposes.

The Victoria portal is one exception to this, whereby it was designed to be the focal point of the operation for veins east of the Victoria Fault. The Victoria portal is located at the 1,450 metre elevation well below most of the productive stopes. This adit crosses through the Victoria fault within a few hundred metres of its mouth and then extends 1,700 metres to the north intersecting the Oliva, Madre, Cantanranas and Argentina veins, all on the eastern side of the Victoria fault. It is at an elevation well below the mill requiring production ore to be hauled up the steep, narrow dirt roads. The ore dump at the Victoria portal has been washed out and will require some major repairs before it can be used again. This level also drains many of the upper levels with about 10 litres per second of water flowing out the portal. In operating times this water was pumped up to the mill for use as process water.

(i) Veta Madre

The principle ore source at Topia has been the Veta Madre (“Mother Vein” or “Mother Lode”). This vein has been mined over a strike length of more than three kilometres. Early work was focussed primarily east of the Victoria fault and then later from the Cocinera level west of the Carrizo fault. The most recent work on the Veta Madre is in 15-22 mine area which is accessed by the 15-22 (1,522m elev.), the Tres Varones (1,580m elev.) and Don Benito (1,622m elev.) levels. Although longitudinal sections are available for most of the other veins, the long section of the Veta Madre best shows the lateral extent of the mineralization and mine workings at Topia.

One of the prospects for ore is between the Tres Varones and Cocinera levels of the Veta Madre. This area has good vein widths and is relatively accessible. The longitudinal section of the Veta Madre shows many small remnant blocks that may be extracted from the 15-22 level. However, these small blocks will be costly to define and extract. Of greater interest however is the area to the west with one drill intercept. This intercept is west of a major dyke and about 200 metres west of any workings. There is also potential to the east where mineralization is thought to extend. However, there are no drill intercepts in this area. The Veta Madre is also unexplored in the area of the Victoria fault but the owner expressed concern that the vein was faulted into very small pieces in this area that might not permit efficient mining and may make it difficult to follow by drifting. This section of the vein is also directly below the town of Topia.

(ii) Veta Cantanranas

The Veta Cantanranas is the closest vein to the Veta Madre and in fact splays to the north from the Veta Madre looking toward the east. The Cantanranas vein tends to dip steeply to the south, somewhat different than the almost vertical Veta Madre. It has been stoped between sections 200 West and 2600 East and may extend to the Hormiguera mine at 3200 East. The gaps in stope locations on this vein may be due to the overlap of the Madre vein stopes. The combination and then splaying of these two veins makes following them difficult at times and there may be some instances where lost portions of economic veins remain in the walls.

(iii) Mina Argentina

The Argentina vein is located immediately north of the mill and has been exploited between sections 900 East and 1,600 East from six main levels. Vertically the stopes are located between 1,600 and 1,900

metres. Peñoles had postulated potential strike extensions to this vein and some drilling was done to test these theories. Four holes were drilled to the east from surface, in 1986 and in 1987.

The Argentina vein is the northern limit of surface exposure of Topia andesites as rhyolite outcrop is found making exploration of strike extensions difficult. There is potential for the Argentina vein to continue west of the Victoria fault similar to the Madre and Cantanranas veins.

(iv) Animas Vein

The Animas vein is south of the Madre vein and due to the lower surface elevation there seems to be mineralized sections missing due to the level of erosion. Other veins in this area and possible continuations may be the Oliva, La Dura, and Dos Amigos veins. To the north there are other minor veins stoped such as the Santa Cruz and Santa Juliana. Like the major veins all of these veins contain small remnant blocks beside, below and above existing stopes as well as the potential for strike extensions. The numerous faults and splays make following the veins difficult and there is potential for better veins in the wall rock in places where the wrong vein has been followed.

(v) Las Papas

The Las Papas area is located about seven kilometres northeast of Topia. There are 3 known veins with mainly minor underground development and only the Vicente vein has been stoped. At Las Papas the veins occupy both the vein and main fault orientation seen at Topia. Another significant difference in this area is that the Ag:Au ratio is much lower being between 10 and 20 to one instead of the 300 to 1 seen typically at Topia.

Most of the exploration on the Topia property is by tunneling on veins found in either crosscuts or on surface. In the Peñoles era veins were both mapped and sampled, but in the last ten years little geological work seems to have been maintained. In total over 24 kilometres of horizontal tunnels exist on the various veins and connecting them.

d. Mineral Resource Estimation

On December 28, 2006, Wardrop Engineering (“Wardrop”) of Vancouver, B.C. delivered a NI43-101 compliant resource estimate for our Topia Silver-Lead-Zinc Mine. Wardrop used a US$60 Gross Metal Value (GMV) cut-off grade rather than silver equivalents due to the high value of base metals in the mineralization, reflecting current commodity prices. Silver equivalents can be calculated by dividing the GMV above by the silver price of US$11.56 used in the estimation. Doing this would yield a total Measured Resource of 1,185,219oz of Ag Equivalent, an Indicated Resource of 2,440,384oz of Ag equivalent, and an Inferred Resource of 1,418,900oz of Ag Equivalent. The following table indicates the amount of each of the four commodities represented by the Wardrop resource figures.

The Table below uses the terms “Measured Resources”, “Indicated Resources” and “Inferred Resources” We advise U.S. investors that while these terms are recognized and required under Canadian regulations, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize them. U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that any part of all of the mineral deposits in this category will ever be converted into reserves.

In order to bring these resources into a reserve category, Wardrop will have to conduct a more detailed analysis of the costs at the Topia Mine and this will be carried out in 2007.

e. Exploration

The Company had conducted extensive work on the Topia property as far back as 2004. The diamond drill program conducted between June 2004 and February 2005 comprised 7,436 metres in 30 surface holes with results evidencing high grade silver-lead-zinc mineralization. Five separate areas were tested with one or two main veins present in each area. The main goal of the program was to test the strike, dip and grade continuity of the veins beyond where they had been mined in the past in order to indicate the exploration potential of the property and to guide the short term underground development work with the goal of successfully re-opening the mine.

As known from previous mining, three of these areas (Las Trancas, Don Benito and Hormiguera) represent portions of the same veins that extend for more than four kilometres across the property, while the two other areas represent parallel vein systems approximately one kilometre to the northwest (Argentina) and two kilometres to the southeast (El Rosario). Several other veins are known and have yet to be drilled.

The intersections obtained are typical of vein deposits in general and the widths and grades are consistent with those mined in the past at Topia. Based upon the success of the drilling in the Argentina area, the Company began the rehabilitation of the underground workings here. Other areas such as El Rosario are proving to have similar potential. The drill program provided the Company with sufficient confidence that the veins have excellent continuity and therefore the potential to provide resources for a renewed mining effort.

Along the Animas vein, on Level 1550, underground channel sampling returned 1.62g/t Au, 338g/t Ag, 2.28% Pb, 1.53% Zn over 30 metres strike length, with an average width of 0.31m (average of 16 samples); and 1.4g/t Au, 429g/t Ag, 1.14% Pb, 6.23% Zn over 35 metres strike length, with an average width of 0.55m (average of 11 samples).iii

In 2006, mine development continued along the Dos Amigos Vein system. New sampling of this vein from the east end of the ramp has returned average grades of 924 g/t Ag, 21.78% Pb and 16.16% Zn along a 30 metre strike length. Although the vein has an average width of only 0.21 metres along this length, we are use a mining method called 'resuing' which reduces dilution and maximizes the grade of the material being recovered.

Along strike of this high grade mineralization and to the northeast, lie the old La Dura Mine workings that are part of the Company’s property. Recent sampling from the Dos Amigos Vein at the southwest end of La Dura has returned 475 g/t Ag, 1.01 g/t Au, 3.92% Pb and 5.09% Zn over a strike length of 89 metres and an average width of 0.36 metres. Slightly lower grade mineralization continues for another 108 metres to the northeast, returning average grades of 265 g/t Ag, 1.19 g/t Au, 0.62% Pb and 1.21% Zn over an average width of 0.52 metres.

There has been no underground development for approximately 200 metres between the southwest end of the La Dura Mine and the ramp mentioned above, so the potential to find more high grade mineralization is considered excellent. Collectively, the aforementioned results represent more than 750 metres of strike length along the Dos Amigos Vein and the mineralization is open to depth along this entire distance.


- 35 -

Continuing development on this vein system will include stations for an underground drill program, which will enable the Company to more easily and quickly determine the overall potential of the vein and to delineate a new resource that can be added to the mine plan.

During the year, ongoing westward development of veins continued to demonstrate high grades of silver-lead-zinc through underground sampling, with deeper portions of the Madre, La Dura, and Animas veins increasingly rich in gold with the westward development of the mine.

Systematic sampling on the deeper portions of the Animas vein conducted during the year demonstrated high grades of silver-lead-zinc and returned the following results (mine levels are named according to their elevation above mean sea level; therefore level 1380 is 50 metres below level 1430):

Level 1430: 1.47g/t Au, 186g/t Ag, 2.02% Pb, 4.43% Zn over 25 metres strike length with an average width of 0.19m (average of 5 channel samples).

Level 1420: 3.03g/t Au, 878g/t Ag, 3.19% Pb, 2.74% Zn over 38 metres strike length with an average width of 0.32m (average of 13 channel samples).

Level 1400: 5.08g/t Au, 679g/t Ag, 7.07% Pb, 6.32% Zn over 45 metres strike length with an average width of 0.42m (average of 16 channel samples).

Level 1390: 6.84g/t Au, 279g/t Ag, 2.17% Pb, 0.19% Zn over 15 metres strike length with an average width of 0.5m (average of 4 channel samples).

Level 1380: 5.92g/t Au, 304g/t Ag, 4.35% Pb, 12.72% Zn over 10 metres strike length with an average width of 0.45m (average of 3 channel samples).

The increase in gold grades in some of these veins will obviously enhance the economics of their development, particularly as historical gold grades at Topia have averaged less than 1.0g/t.

In addition, many of the sampled sections reported above represent the complete length of the current exposure, so the potential to extend the development of these veins is wide open. The deeper levels of the Animas vein are virtually untouched over a strike length of 1,000m and will be drill tested over the next six months.

Along the Animas vein, on Level 1550, underground channel sampling returned 1.62g/t Au, 338g/t Ag, 2.28% Pb, 1.53% Zn over 30 metres strike length, with an average width of 0.31m (average of 16 samples); and 1.4g/t Au, 429g/t Ag, 1.14% Pb, 6.23% Zn over 35 metres strike length, with an average width of 0.55m (average of 11 samples).

Along the La Dura vein, mine development on Level 1495, returned 4.96g/t Au, 242g/t Ag, 8.32% Pb and 2.42% Zn over 38 metres strike length with an average width of 0.49m (average grade of 16 samples). Exploration potential exists above Level 1495 for approximately 150 metres vertical as this part of the La Dura vein was not previously developed.

The deepest access level on the Madre vein is the 1420 Level where sampling returned average grades of 5.7g/t Au, 49g/t Ag, 0.17% Pb, 0.18% Zn over a horizontal length of 45 metres and an average width of 0.32m (average grade of 12 samples). Further sampling is being completed with the recent cleaning and safety inspection of this level.


- 36 -

Immediately behind the plant, a decline ramp from the main access adit, Level 'A', has intersected the western edge of previous stoping on the Argentina vein. This is the top priority area for development and exploitation due to its proximity to the mill and the presence of multiple parallel, thick and high grade silver-lead-zinc veins. A cross-cut from the ramp intersected the main vein wherein 3 channel samples returned grades of 2,060-2,640 g/t Ag and 29-36% combined Pb-Zn over 1.0 metre. The vein in the end of the westernmost stope is still approximately 1.0 metre wide and consists of quartz-barite with bands of galena and sphalerite. The distance from here to the closest surface drill hole (A04-02 from Great Panther's 2004 program that returned grades of 708g/t Ag, 4.0% Pb and 4.2% Zn over 1.8 metres) is approximately 300 metres, part of which contains former reserve blocks of Peñoles (now classified as Historical Resources). This represents a large block of potential high grade resources and will be targeted by the underground drill program.

An underground diamond drilling program in the deeper portions of the La Dura vein also is continuing to demonstrate high grades of silver, gold, lead and zinc, up to 55.7 oz/t silver equivalent* (Ag Eq). In particular, gold grades up to 7.21g/t in the drilling are significantly higher than the historical average (less than 1.0g/t) for the Topia Mine.

Eleven principal mineralized vein structures have been defined on the Topia Mine property, of which development and exploitation is presently taking place on five, including La Dura. Surface and underground drilling over the course of 2007 will target nine of the eleven veins in an effort to expand the Topia Mine mineral resource and the number of veins being developed and exploited. The recent nine-hole, 637.3 metre underground drilling program at La Dura is part of the plan to test a 165 metre vertical interval (between the 1420 and 1585 levels) along a 600 metre strike length. These holes represent a 200m horizontal by 50m vertical portion of that block. To date, there has been no exploitation below the 1625 level in this part of the La Dura Mine. (Note: Mine levels are named according to their elevation above mean sea level and the town of Topia sits at an elevation of 1650 metres, such that most mine levels are accessed via adits from the sides of the mountains).

Underground drill holes UT06-001 to 005 tested the La Dura vein and a series of splays and parallel veins within a zone complicated by cross faulting. One such vein in the hanging wall, called La Dura Alto, is the most consistent of these in terms of grade and continuity. Significant results from the first five holes include 0.6m @ 5.96g/t gold, 191g/t silver, 4.35% lead and 4.85% zinc (29.9 oz/t Ag Eq) in UT06-001; and 1.3m @ 3.03g/t gold, 194g/t silver, 3.51% lead and 11.4% zinc (41.0 oz/t Ag Eq) in UT06-004, both on the main La Dura vein.

Holes UT06-006 to 008 successfully located the La Dura vein, with continuing high grades, east of a major fault and 85 metres below previous workings. Significant results from these holes include 0.55m @ 2.88g/t gold, 609g/t silver, 5.84% lead and 11.1% zinc (55.7 oz/t Ag Eq) in UT06-006; and 1.05m @ 1.24g/t gold, 539g/t silver, 10.1% lead and 4.21% zinc (39.0 oz/t Ag Eq) in UT06-008 (farthest east). Drill hole UT06-009 was used as an engineering hole and as such was not oriented to intersecting veins.

Production from the Argentina vein is anticipated to begin in the near future and will build as the veins are developed on multiple levels, allowing the Company to achieve its production targets next year.

With so many prospective areas under development, underground drilling will continue into 2007.

The drilling on the project was contracted to BDW International Drilling of Mexico, S.A. de C.V. Ongoing geological work is being conducted by Resource Geosciences de Mexico, S.A. de C.V.

2. Guanajuato Mine Complex

a. Acquisition

On October 25, 2005 we signed a formal purchase with the Sociedad Cooperativa Minero Metalúrgica Santa Fe de Guanajuato to purchase 100% of the ownership rights in a group of producing silver-gold mines in the Guanajuato Mining District. The total purchase price is US$7,250,000, which includes 1,107 hectares in two main properties, the 1,200 tonne-per-day plant, workshops and administration facilities, complete mining infrastructure, mining equipment, and certain surface rights. In 2006, we paid the remaining balance of US$3,625,000.

On May 15, 2006, we announced the purchase of 3.88 hectares of real estate adjacent to the plant at our Guanajuato Silver-Gold Mine Complex. The land was purchased from the Sociedad Cooperativa Minero Metalúrgica Santa Fe de Guanajuato, the same Cooperative from which the mines were purchased in 2006, for a total of US$690,425. A payment of US$201,825 was made at the time of the signing of the purchase agreement and the remaining balance of US$488,600 was paid in the second half of 2006. The Company has received clear title to the property. The decision to buy the extra land was taken in order to facilitate any future expansion of the plant facilities and to protect the plant site from any possible development nearby.


- 38 -

b. Location and Accessibility

The Guanajuato Mine Complex is located alongside the city of Guanajuato, 380 km northwest of Mexico City in central Mexico. Guanajuato is situated in the Central Plateau of Mexico in the mountains of Sierra de Guanajuato at elevations ranging from 1,600 to 2,200 metres. The principle claim group is centred at approximately 21o03’N latitude and 101o15’W longitude (NAD 27, UTM coordinates 2327500N, 265500E). The Guanajuato Mine Complex consists of 1,107.28Ha, made up of 28 non-contiguous exploitation claims.

Excellent access is availed to Guanajuato with an international airport 30 minutes to the west near Silao/Leon. Toll free-ways skirt the city linking it with Leon, Guadalajara, and Mexico City. All of the facilities of the Santa Fe project are accessed from city streets.

The Guanajuatito ramp provides easy access to the mineralization throughout the Guanajuatito-Encarnación area where only a minor amount of mining has taken place in the past.

c. History

The Guanajuato Mining District was founded in 1548.

  • 1548: The first silver vein at San Bernabé (La Luz) was discovered by a local mule driver. Silver ore was hand mined and transported by mule to Zacatecas to be milled.

  • 1550: Juan de Rayas discovered the Veta Madre system at the site where the present day Rayas shaft is located. This triggered an exploration rush which saw the discovery of the La Valenciana, Tepeyec, Mellado, Cata and Sirena silver occurrences.

  • 1726: Production was very limited in early years as the method of extracting ores was the fire method where the rock face was heated with a fire and then quickly quenched with water, the rapid cooling resulting in the shattering of the rocks. It was not until gun powder was introduced by Don Jose de Sardeneta y Legaspi in 1726 that production became significant. Construction began on the Rayas shaft.

  • 1760-1770: Antonio Obregón y Alcocer, who later became Count Valenciana, completed numerous exploration ventures, culminating with the discovery of the Valenciana ore-shoot and the development of the Valenciana mine.

  • 1771: The dream of the Guanajuato miners became a reality with the discovery of immense masses of silver sulphides, mixed with ruby silver and native silver. After various fortunate discoveries, Antonio Obregón y Alcocer became famous, and was considered to be one of the richest men in the world. He was honoured with the title of Count Valenciana because, at the time, the Valenciana mine was estimated to be producing one-third of the world’s silver. Production was increased under the Count’s direction, and the Santo Cristo de Burgos shaft was sunk to a depth of 150 metres.

  • 1775: The San Antonio shaft on the Valenciana vein was sunk to a depth of 227m.

  • 1810-1868: Production stopped as the result of the War of Independence

  • 1821: Revolutionaries burned all the mining installations, including the headworks of the newly-built Valenciana shaft.


- 39 -

  • 1868: The Valenciana mine was reopened by British investment capital.

  • 1936: Peñoles S.A. tested the Veta Madre with four diamond drill holes.

  • 1939: The Sociedad Cooperativa Minero Metalúrgica Santa Fe de Guanajuato became the legal owner of the properties of the Guanajuato Reduction and Mines Company. Starting with no mineral reserves and no working capital, the new Cooperative had a difficult time carrying out exploration and mining with outdated equipment.

  • 1947-1949: The Fresnillo Company completed a diamond drilling program consisting of nine holes, which intersected the Veta Madre 80m to 150m below the lowest existing workings.

  • 1968: The Fresnillo Company acquired the adjacent claims and incorporated Cebada a Negociación Minera Santa Lucía and the Peregrina Mine; in the same year, Fresnillo discovered the Torres-Cedros orebody during an exploration and drilling program.

  • 1973: The contracting company Tormex, S.A. completed a photogeological study in the area of the Cebada mine holdings (Figure 3). The SCMMSFG discovered the Clavo de Rayas “bonanza” oreshoot.

  • 1976: The Cebada mine began production. Between 1976 and 1995, the Cebada mine produced 1,277,216 tonnes at an average grade of 4.04 g/t gold and 372 g/t silver. The Cebada mine is not a part of the Sociedad Cooperativa Minero Metalúrgica Santa Fe de Guanajuato holdings.

  • 2003: The Grupo Guanajuato closed the Torres, Sirena, Peregrina and Apolo mines. The Bolañitos, Golondrinas, Asunción and Cebada mines stayed in production on a break-even basis.

  • 2004: A Canadian company MexGold Resources (Gammon Lake Resources) purchased the near-by El Cubo mine.

Since discovery to 1990, total production from the Guanajuato Mining District was estimated to be approximately 35,000 tonnes silver (1.12 billion oz Ag) and 175 tonnes gold (5.63 million oz Au).

Sociedad Cooperativa Minero-Metalurgica Santa Fe de Guanajuato has completed various drill programs since 1939. Most of the historic drill log and drill assay data exists at the mine but not in a readily accessible form. The last phase of drilling completed in 1992, was utilized for the estimation of the Cata mine resources in the 1992 Sociedad Cooperativa Minero-Metalurgica Santa Fe de Guanajuato report.

d. Mineralization

Three major fault systems with associated mineralization occur in the Guanajuato Mining District; La Luz, Sierra, and the Veta Madre systems, the largest being the 25 km long Veta Madre. The principal mineralizing event is thought to be late Oligocene in age +27 Ma, which has created three identifiable stages of mineralization according to Clark (2005); “1) pre-ore, 2) ore, 3) post-ore and the ore can be divided into three zones; upper ore, lower ore, and deep ore.” The upper ore is defined as being >2,100m a.s.l., lower ore is found between 2,100m and 1,700m a.s.l. and deep ore as being <1,700m a.s.l.

All historic descriptions of the mineralization contain the term “ore”. In most cases, the terminology applies to previously mined mineralization. Historic authors have generally agreed that there are three separate zones of mineralization; upper ore, lower ore and deep ore. Normally this categorization refers to areas now mined out but in other cases, it refers to horizons of un-mined material that may contain


- 40 -

mineralization that would not be considered as “ore” as defined by NI 43- 101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects adopted by the securities regulators in Canada. The authors have chosen to use the same language to be consistent with the historic documentation and are not implying that the mineralization will ever become ore that can be mined at a profit.

The Veta Madre systems strike northwesterly and dip 450 to 650SW. The bulk of the mining production has come from a five-kilometre section of the Veta Madre stretching between the Valenciana shaft of our Company’s ground in the northwest to the Sirena shaft on Peñoles ground in the southeast. In this five kilometre area, the vein stockwork averages approximately 20m in width but can be as wide as 90m. Most of the historic production has come from the economically important lower ore level (2,100m to 1,700m a.s.l.) and is typically associated with faults and both footwall and hanging wall stockwork vein systems.

The argentiferous mineralization is hosted in quartz veins with gangue mineralogy of quartz, calcite, pyrite, adularia, and sericite. The principal silver bearing mineralization is acanthite (argentite), aguilarite and naumannite while gold occurs as free gold and as electrum. The gold to silver ratios vary from approximately 1:70 to 1:200. Base metal mineralization is not common; when it occurs it is observed as chalcopyrite, sphalerite and galena. The exception is the “deep ore” in the Rayas mine which is associated with chalcopyrite and galena.

The economic mineralization is hosted in quartz-carbonate-adularia veins and stockwork systems with identifiable “ore-shoots” that carry the bulk of the economic mineralization. The ore shoots are discontinuous, 10-40m wide and typically equal in vertical dimensions to strike length. The discontinuous nature of the ore-shoots has made ongoing underground and surface exploration challenging and not necessarily well understood. On average, approximately 20% of the volume of the individual veins becomes ore. The higher grade portions of the veins range in width from less than a meter up to 90m in width, historic average grade in the Veta Madre are 450g/t Ag and 2.5g/t Au.

e. Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve Estimates

There are currently no reserve or resource estimates conforming to NI 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects adopted by the securities regulators in Canada. The most recent, noncompliant, resource estimate was made in 2000 by Sociedad Cooperativa Minero-Metalurgica Santa Fe de Guanajuato with most of the resource located below the current water level in the mine.

f. Exploration

The Company commenced a surface diamond drilling program in 2005. The drilling program intersected bonanza grade silver and above average gold within the Veta Madre vein structure. Highlights of the program include 692 g/t silver and 5.17 g/t gold over 5.8 metres and 1,096 g/t silver and 4.15 g/t gold over 2.5 metres.

The drilling, comprising 1,163.3 metres in six holes, was designed to duplicate and surround a lone 1989 drill hole (#317) that intersected a 5.35 metre wide zone grading 3.34 g/t Au and 81.5 g/t Ag, including 10.65 g/t gold and 165 g/t silver over 1.55 metres. The drilling was completed under and northwest of the Guanajuatito ramp along the trend of the Veta Madre, approximately one kilometre northwest of the famous Valenciana Mine (now owned by Great Panther).

The holes were drilled on four section lines at 50 metre intervals, covering a strike length of 150 metres. Two styles of mineralization were noted in the drill holes: silver-gold mineralization in the Veta Madre

itself and a previously unrecognized zone of gold-arsenic-antimony mineralization in the hanging wall. Both zones are epithermal in nature, and likely represent separate pulses of mineralization.

In this part of the mine complex, the Veta Madre is manifested as a silica breccia at the contact between the hanging wall diorite and the footwall sediments. Hole GTTO-05-004 was drilled to test the zone of mineralization in hole 317, mentioned above. Hole 004 intersected a 7.3 metre wide vein breccia, interpreted as the Veta Madre, of which 5.8 metres (4.1 metre true width) assayed 692 g/t silver and 5.17 g/t gold. Fifty metres along strike to the southeast, hole GTTO-05-005 intersected a 3.4 metre thick section of the same Veta Madre breccia, with a 2.5 metre (1.77 metre true width) portion assaying 1,096 g/t silver and 4.15 g/t gold. A further 50 metres along strike to the southeast, hole GTTO-05-006 intersected 7.5 metres of the Veta Madre breccia with a 1.5 metre (1.06 metre true width) portion assaying 209 g/t silver and 1.55 g/t gold. The most northwesterly holes, GTTO-05-001 & 002, as well as GTTO-05-003, drilled 50 metres updip from hole 004, did not intersect the Veta Madre breccia. Details of significant intersections are listed below.

The gold-arsenic-antimony mineralization consists of a 10-30 metre thick (estimated true width) zone of quartz-pyrite veinlets within an extensive stockwork/breccia in the hanging wall diorite and was intersected in all six holes. Although gold values in this zone were mostly below 1 g/t in the drilling, the holes may be too high in the epithermal system, with the possibility of better mineralization at depth. As such, the hanging wall diorite breccia is a significant, previously un-assayed, gold target which will be followed up by surface and underground mapping, rock geochemistry and further drilling. Elsewhere in the mine, stockwork/breccia zones can achieve thicknesses of 30 metres or more and have historically provided substantial tonnages of silver-gold mineralization amenable to bulk underground mining methods.

The Company concluded that the Veta Madre breccia forms the more appealing target as the drill holes show that it continues with excellent widths and grades below previous workings at the Guanajuatito ramp. The aforementioned intersections occurred at a vertical depth of 100 -120 metres below surface. The Veta Madre is known to extend more than 700 metres vertically (approximately 1,000 metres down dip) from surface. Mineralized “shoots” within the structure are often continuous to depth, which bodes well for these new intersections, as there has been no drilling or underground development below them. The Guanajuatito ramp provides easy access to this high grade mineralization and only a minor amount of mining has taken place in the past. The underground workings here will be re-sampled and surveyed as part of the Company's ongoing silver-gold resource evaluation.

An extensive underground sampling program continued through 2006 at Guanajuato. Preliminary sampling in the first quarter of 2006 has returned spectacular bonanza grades from the Valenciana Mine. Silver grades ranged from 1,100 g/t (32 oz/t) to 30,468 g/t (889 oz/t) and gold grades ranged from 19 g/t (0.6 oz/t) to 177 g/t (5.2 oz/t) in 27 selective grab samples taken by the mine staff. These results yield an arithmetic average of 11,036 g/t (322 oz/t) Ag and 62 g/t Au (1.8 oz/t). Using a silver-to-gold ratio of 60:1, this equates to a silver equivalent grade of 430 oz/t or a gold equivalent grade of 7.2 oz/t. The samples also contained, on average, 0.34% Cu, 0.24% Pb and 0.87% Zn.

The samples were taken from the walls of old stopes in a part of the mine that has historically been mined by hand, dating back to the early 19th century. As such, there has been very little, if any, mechanized mining here, and stopes are typically small and erratic in shape. The sampling was carried out as a first-pass assessment of the tenor and distribution of mineralization that has been left behind by these historic mining campaigns. Consequently, it is presently unknown just how representative these grades may be from a mining standpoint.

Significantly, the sampling came from 6 different stopes above and below the 285 metre level over a total strike length of about 500 metres. Grades from the various stopes were comparable. Five of these stopes lie within 200 metres of the Valenciana shaft and there has only been limited development below this level, approximately 150 metres, to the bottom of the shaft. The sixth stope, number 1414, lies 400 metres southeast of the shaft and has been partially developed between the 285 and 320 metre levels. There has been no development above this for at least 100 metres and there does not appear to have been any work done below it at all, suggesting that the mineralization is totally open to depth.

In addition, initial surface rock sampling on the Promontorio claim, southeast of the Rayas Shaft, has identified a gold-rich zone of mineralization along more than 100 metres of the Veta Madre structure. Two channel samples across this zone returned 5.2 g/t Au over 3.2m and 7.6 g/t Au across 3.0m. A further 100 metres along strike to the southeast of the above, an exposure of silica breccia and a footwall shear were sampled over a 25 by 45 metre area, yielding anomalous to "ore-grade" (as defined by the current operators) gold and silver values. In the Promontorio area the Veta Madre and associated stockwork and shear zones form topographic dip slopes making for easy drill targets and are readily accessible for potential surface exploitation. Elsewhere in the mine complex, these mineralized stockworks can reach widths of 30 metres or more and locally exceed 100 metres in strike length and down-dip extent allowing for bulk tonnage underground mining methods to be used.

Initial evaluations of underground workings near the Promontorio Shaft, and approximately 150 metres vertically below these surface outcrops, indicated the presence of similar gold-dominated mineralization. Compilation of the underground data is ongoing, as will be the evaluation of the extent of former mining, and re-sampling of stopes and levels. There is more than 300 metres of strike length to the southeast of Promontorio that has apparently seen only limited exploration and underground development, such that the potential for previously unrecognized mineralization in this area is excellent. Overall, the property encompasses more than four kilometres of strike length on the Veta Madre structure, much of which has seen little to no exploration.

In June 2006, we commenced the first phase of our underground diamond drilling program, which is to comprise of a minimum of 3,000 metres in approximately 45 holes. The purpose of the drilling was to better define zones of silver-gold mineralization for production purposes and for the preparation of a NI43-101 compliant resource. The drilling focused mainly on San Vicente North.

In October 2006, we commenced a second phase of our diamond drilling program and completed extensive underground sampling at the limits of the silver-gold mineralization in the Guanajuatito Mine. The work to date in this northwest area of the Guanajuato Mine Complex has included the collection of more than 1,000 underground channel samples and is leading to a better understanding of the distribution of silver-gold mineralization. It has been observed that, while the Veta Madre quartz breccia is fairly consistent and is present in almost every hole, silver and gold grades vary somewhat, with higher grades tending to cluster in pockets with lower grade material in between, a typical feature of precious metal vein deposits. As such, even low grade intersections of vein material in drill holes spaced 50 metres apart are important as they indicate the continuity of the zone. Continued detailed sampling underground and/or follow-up drilling on a closer spacing will be needed to better define the actual grade of the zone.

Further underground development is already underway and this part of the mine is providing about 150 tonnes per day to the mill. Underground mapping and sampling is continuing in this area and the surface drilling is continuing in the Animas and Promontorio area in the Cata and Rayas shaft areas to the southeast. Results for these areas will be released in due course.

While all eight holes in the Animas drilling intersected silver-gold mineralization, the most significant results include 1.5 metres averaging 505g/t silver and 1.98g/t gold within 4.5 metres averaging 219g/t


- 43 -

silver and 0.86g/t gold in GTT-06-020, and 2.1 metres of 658 g/t silver and 1.7 g/t gold in hole GTT-06-023. Mineralization in these holes, as well as that of hole GTT-06-21, is hosted within a portion of the Veta Madre structure that extends into the footwall shale. Approximately 125 metres further south from GTT-06-20 and 21, GTT-06-022 intersected 230g/t silver and 1.28g/t gold over 3.0 metres in a hanging wall stockwork. Fifty and seventy metres, respectively, deeper than hole 22, GTT-06-026 intersected 121g/t silver and 1.05g/t gold over 7.8 metres, and GTT-06-024 intersected 89g/t silver and 0.33 g/t gold over 9.0 metres. Both the intersections in GTT-06-024 and 026 as well as the narrower intersections in GTT-06-025 and 027 are within stockwork zones in hangingwall rocks.

In early 2006, we commenced a Phase II surface diamond drilling program designed to test three separate areas along a 4 kilometres of strike length along of the Veta Madre. The drill program was to follow-up on the successful drilling at Guanajuatito, in the northwest part of the property, as well as to test the Animas, and Garrapata areas which are farther along strike to the southeast. The 6,753 metres drilled in 34 holes was highly successful in identifying and delineating three new zones of silver-gold mineralization in the northwest, central and southeast parts of the mine property. These discoveries accentuate the previous lack of exploration on the property and the potential for new zones to be found throughout the mine. In addition, the easy access to these zones from existing underground workings means that they can be developed and mined quickly and cost-effectively.

In the Guanajuatito-Encarnación area, results of the diamond drilling program provided further definition of a new zone of silver-gold mineralization. Extensive underground sampling also confirmed the extension of the silver-gold mineralization. Both the drilling and sampling were part of a comprehensive, ongoing exploration program at Guanajuato to help better understand and delineate the silver-gold mineralization in area. A total of 3,205 metres was completed under and northwest of the Guanajuatito ramp, and in the adjacent Encarnación area along the trend of the Veta Madre, approximately one kilometre northwest of the famous Valenciana Mine (now owned by Great Panther). The program was initially designed to surround the 2005 drilling that intersected 692 g/t silver and 5.17 g/t gold over 5.8 metres and 1,096 g/t silver and 4.15 g/t gold over 2.5 metres. A total of nineteen holes have now been drilled in this area at approximately 50 metre intervals, covering a strike length of 400 metres and a vertical extent of 100 to 150 metres.

The work in the northwest area of the Guanajuato Mine Complex has included the collection of more than 1,000 underground channel samples and is leading to a better understanding of the distribution of silver-gold mineralization. It has been observed that, while the Veta Madre quartz breccia is fairly consistent and is present in almost every hole, silver and gold grades vary somewhat, with higher grades tending to cluster in pockets with lower grade material in between, a typical feature of precious metal vein deposits. This is illustrated on the level plan maps on the Company’s website. As such, even low grade intersections of vein material in drill holes spaced 50 metres apart are important as they indicate the continuity of the zone. Continued detailed sampling underground and/or follow-up drilling on a closer spacing will be needed to better define the actual grade of the zone.

Significant results from the 2006 drilling include 2.87 metres of 651g/t silver and 3.16g/t gold in hole GTT-06-015, located approximately 50m vertically below GTT-05-005 (1,096 g/t silver and 4.15 g/t gold over 2.5 metres). Drill hole GTT-06-015 helps define a high grade zone of silver-gold mineralization below the Guanajuatito ramp in the section 2800N area. Drill hole GTT-06-014 intersected 9.5m of anomalous Veta Madre mineralization including 6.0 metres of 111g/t silver and 1.55g/t gold under the Guanajuatito level +45 (mining formerly took place above level +45). Drill hole GTT-06-010 intersected 6.0m of anomalous Veta Madre with 1.0 metre of 82g/t silver and 0.35g/t gold. GTT-06-010 is 40 metres vertically below the high grade GTT-05-004 (692 g/t silver and 5.17 g/t gold over 5.8 metres). Drill hole GTT-06-013 intersected 8.2m of anomalous Veta Madre, while GTT-06-019 intersected a broad zone of


- 44 -

silica breccia with 1.0 metre of 77g/t silver and 0.59g/t gold. This hole is 60m northwest of former mining on the Encarnación sublevel 45.

As in the 2005 drilling, two styles of mineralization were noted in the 2006 holes: silver-gold mineralization in the Veta Madre itself and a zone of gold-arsenic-antimony stockwork mineralization in the hanging wall. Although only the Veta Madre style has returned grades of an economic level so far, the stockwork style often contains anomalous levels of gold and will be evaluated underground to better understand the distribution of the mineralization.

The continued drilling and sampling have helped us better define a zone of silver-gold mineralization (the Guanajuatito Zone) that appears to plunge off to the southwest. This zone is approximately 200 metres along strike and could extend for at least 400 metres down-plunge as it appears to join up with mineralization intersected in deep drilling from the 1980's. Structurally, this appears to be a new trend to mineralization in the mine complex and may be related to the contact between a dioritic intrusive that forms the hanging wall in the Guanajuatito area and the "Guanajuato Conglomerate" which is the hanging wall unit along strike to the southeast.

Plan maps for the Guanajuatito +45 level and Encarnación +15 level (all mine levels are referenced to the '0 metre' elevation at the access to the Rayas shaft) have been included on the Company’s website. Re-sampling of these levels (2450N - 2750N sections) returned some excellent values associated with the Veta Madre silica breccia. Mineralized intersections in GTT-06-013, 014 and 019 imply further potential in this area and have helped to define the western limits to the Encarnación Zone, which appears to follow the more common southeast plunge and is open to depth. Continued evaluation of this part of the mine will be conducted from underground as is will be more cost-efective than drilling from surface.

On the Guanajuatito +45 level, 31.6% of the samples assayed greater than 55 g/t silver equivalent (AgE) using US$525/oz gold and US$10.50/oz silver. These samples averaged 178 g/t AgE (143 g/t AgE using an 80% historic mill recovery rate). On the Encarnación +15 level, 57.1% of the samples assayed greater than 55 g/t silver equivalent (AgE) using the same prices. These samples averaged 231 g/t AgE (185 g/t


- 45 -

AgE using an 80% historic mill recovery rate). On both levels, the higher grade values cluster into distinct zones as seen on the level plans.

The Guanajuatito ramp provides easy access to the mineralization throughout the Guanajuatito-Encarnación area where only a minor amount of mining has taken place in the past. Further underground development is already underway and this part of the mine is providing about 150 tonnes per day to the mill. Underground mapping and sampling is continuing in this area and the surface drilling is continuing in the Animas and Promontorio area in the Cata and Rayas shaft areas to the southeast. Results for these areas will be released in due course.

The second portion of the 2006 drill program focused on testing a gap in historical production, known as the Animas area, between the Cata Mine and San Vicente North Ramp. It represents a section of the Veta Madre vein structure approximately 175 metres in strike length by 150 metres vertical, immediately below surface and accessible by ramp. As such, the newly defined mineralization presents an immediate target for stope development and mining.

While all eight holes in the Animas drilling intersected silver-gold mineralization, the most significant results include 1.5 metres averaging 505g/t silver and 1.98g/t gold within 4.5 metres averaging 219g/t silver and 0.86g/t gold in GTT-06-020, and 2.1 metres of 658 g/t silver and 1.7 g/t gold in hole GTT-06-023. Mineralization in these holes, as well as that of hole GTT-06-21, is hosted within a portion of the Veta Madre structure that extends into the footwall shale. Approximately 125 metres further south from GTT-06-20 and 21, GTT-06-022 intersected 230g/t silver and 1.28g/t gold over 3.0 metres in a hanging wall stockwork. Fifty and seventy metres, respectively, deeper than hole 22, GTT-06-026 intersected 121g/t silver and 1.05g/t gold over 7.8 metres, and GTT-06-024 intersected 89g/t silver and 0.33 g/t gold over 9.0 metres. Both intersections in GTT-06-024 and 026 as well as the narrower intersections in GTT-06-025 and 027 are within stockwork zones in hangingwall rocks. The latter two were the deepest of the eight holes and may represent a pinching of the zone at this point. Highlights of Diamond Drilling:

As there still remains a portion of the Animas area that is inaccessible for surface drilling, additional holes to test this gap are being completed in an underground drill program.

The styles of mineralization at Animas are somewhat different from the quartz breccia at Guanajuatito in the northwest end of the property. At Animas, gold-silver mineralization is hosted in quartz-carbonate stockwork zones in hanging wall conglomerate; in the Veta Madre silica breccia located along the contact


- 46 -

between the hanging wall conglomerate and footwall shales; and in silica flooded (stockwork and breccia) footwall shale. These styles of mineralization are well displayed in the surface drilling and in underground workings in the various shallow levels of San Vicente North.

Mining is currently being conducted in the San Vicente North Ramp area, on levels 55, 75 and 100 adjacent to the southeast side of Animas, and access to the area is readily available by cross cutting and extending drifts northward from the ramp development. As such, this area is expected to play a significant role in the near term production plans of the Company. Furthermore, the fact that the Animas mineralization is located virtually from surface down to about the 170 metre level underscores the fact that the upper levels of the Guanajuato Mine Complex have not been mined out. The third portion of the 2006 drill program focused on an unexplored area along strike from the mine workings at the Promontorio shafts. The area represents a section of the Veta Madre vein structure approximately 150 metres in strike length by 150 metres vertical, immediately below surface and accessible by the San Vicente South Ramp. As such, the newly defined mineralization presents an immediate target for stope development and mining.

While all seven holes in the Promontorio drilling intersected silver-gold mineralization, the most significant results include 149g/t silver and 2.2g/t gold across 5.4 metres of the Veta Madre in hole GTT-06-031; and 141g/t Ag and 0.54g/t Au across 2.24 metres of the Veta Madre in GTT-06-034, located 40 metres northwest of hole 31. Another 120m northwest of GTT-06-034, near the Promontorio shaft, GTT-06-028 intersected 92g/t Ag and1.08g/t Au across 3.65 metres.

Parallel zones to the Veta Madre are also well developed, including a hanging wall silica stockwork developed in conglomerate. Apparently, this zone was partially exploited in the past as holes GTT-06-030 and 032 were unexpectedly lost in unrecorded stopes. However, the remaining hangingwall stockwork in GTT-06-032 assayed 43g/t Ag and 0.95g/t Au across 4.9 metres.

Of particular note is that a footwall stockwork is locally developed in the porphyritic diorite. This new zone has been traced for approximately 150m of strike length with notable intersections of 92g/t Ag and 0.53g/t Au across 4.3 metres in GTT06-028 and 197g/t Ag and 0.57g/t Au across 1.52 metres in GTT-06-034.

Additional holes in the Promontorio area will be completed by the underground drill commencing in early 2007.

The styles of mineralization at Promontorio, as seen in the surface drilling and surface outcroppings, include silver-gold mineralization hosted in several quartz-carbonate stockwork zones in the hanging wall conglomerate; silica breccia in the Veta Madre located along the contact between the conglomerate and footwall diorite porphyry; and in silica flooded (stockwork and breccia) footwall diorite. Detailed geological mapping and rock sampling of underground workings in this part of the mine are ongoing.

In early 2006, preliminary returned spectacular bonanza grades from the Valenciana Mine. Silver grades ranged from 1,100 g/t (32 oz/t) to 30,468 g/t (889 oz/t) and gold grades ranged from 19 g/t (0.6 oz/t) to 177 g/t (5.2 oz/t) in 27 selective grab samples taken by the mine staff. These results yield an arithmetic average of 11,036 g/t (322 oz/t) Ag and 62 g/t Au (1.8 oz/t). Using a silver to gold ratio of 60:1, this equates to a silver equivalent grade of 430 oz/t or a gold equivalent grade of 7.2 oz/t. The samples also contained, on average, 0.34% Cu, 0.24% Pb and 0.87% Zn.

The samples were taken from the walls of old stopes in a part of the mine that has historically been mined by hand, dating back to the early 19th century. As such, there has been very little, if any, mechanized mining here and stopes are typically small and erratic in shape. The sampling was carried out as a first-pass assessment of the tenor and distribution of mineralization that has been left behind by these historic mining campaigns. Consequently, it is presently unknown just how representative these grades may be from a mining standpoint.

Significantly, the sampling came from 6 different stopes above and below the 285 metre level over a total strike length of about 500 metres. Grades from the various stopes were comparable. Five of these stopes lie within 200 metres of the Valenciana shaft and there has been only limited development below this level to the bottom of the shaft, approximately 150 metres below. The sixth stope, number 1414, lies 400 metres southeast of the shaft and has been partially developed between the 285 and 320 metre levels. There has been no development above this for at least 100 metres and there does not appear to have been any work done below it at all, suggesting that the mineralization is totally open to depth. Longitudinal sections of the mine are available for viewing on the Company's website at www.greatpanther.com.

The Company is continuing to better determine the extent of this mineralization or to quantify any potential volumes. The most important issue in doing this is in evaluating the safety level of any procedure that could be implemented to extract this material from the historic workings. Any mining below these levels, however, would be in virgin rock and could be developed using modern techniques and safety standards.

With these grades, this material would not need to be processed at the on-site plant, but would be shipped directly to the smelter for processing, thereby decreasing the production costs and increasing the net value.

The Valenciana Mine has always been known for its high grades. Mineralization was first discovered here by the Spanish in 1768, and the ore was so rich that Valenciana quickly became the most productive silver mine in the world in the second half of the 18th century (Elizabeth Emma Ferry, Cultural Anthropology, 2002). Of the 3 operating shafts on Great Panther's property, Valenciana is the deepest, at 500 metres, and limited diamond drilling in the 1980's suggest that the mineralization continues below this for at least another 200 metres.

As underground development progresses throughout the mine complex, an underground diamond drilling program will be conducted as a continuation of the Phase II surface diamond drilling program. A 3,000 metre/45 hole program was to help better define zones of silver-gold mineralization for production purposes and for the preparation of a NI43-101 compliant resource.

Initially, drilling was focused on the San Vicente North (“SVN”) area, on the northwest side of the Rayas Shaft. This was followed by at least 500 metres in 6 holes in the Guanajuatito - Encarnación area in the northwest part of the mine property then 900 metres in 10 holes on the 275 metre level of the Rayas Shaft area.

At San Vicente North, 1,650 metres of drilling, in 28 holes, are currently planned to better define the silver-gold mineralization within a flexure in the Veta Madre Structural Zone in this area. The flexure is approximately 150 metres long and the mineralized silica breccia, along with silicified zones and stockworks in the hanging wall and footwall rocks, are approximately 40 metres thick. This presents a zone of significant size potential for bulk tonnage underground development. Although this area has been partially mined by the previous operator, much of it has only been cross-cut by tunnels, thereby providing easy and quick access for future development.

The SVN drilling will be conducted on the 55, 75, 100 and 120 metre levels and will primarily target a zone of stockwork mineralization in the hangingwall conglomerate that appears to average approximately 30 metres wide by 100 metres along strike and 90 metres down-dip. This zone has been defined through an extensive program of channel sampling and geological mapping of the SVN area initiated by Great Panther in 2005 (and is ongoing). The program is being conducted on 12 levels from the 0 to 190 metre levels of SVN in order to confirm and expand upon the previous operator's sampling, and establish a comprehensive geological / structural understanding of the Guanajuato Mine. This channel sampling has focused on cross-cutting tunnels, stope walls, and pillars, and samples were spaced to represent as best as possible the geological units, structures and mineralization.

Of the 1,921 channel samples taken to date in this area, 620 (32.3%) had silver equivalent (AgE) values greater than 74.6g/t AgE (2.4oz/t AgE). These 620 samples averaged 220g/t AgE (4.9oz/t AgE) with a range of 74.6g/t AgE (2.4oz/t AgE) to 6,376g/t AgE (205oz/t). Silver equivalent values were calculated by using a 50:1 silver to gold ratio. To place2 the above values in context, previous operational costs (to 2005) at Guanajuato were in the neighbourhood of $30US/tonne or approximately 110g/t AgE (3.53 oz/t AgE). A review of the detailed sampling and geological maps revealed that the higher values grouped into zones within the main silica breccia (Veta Madre) or within adjacent footwall and hangingwall stockworks (see schematic map on website). This is highly encouraging as it allows the Company to further define distinct zones by core drilling between the levels.

To the southeast of the flexure the Veta Madre mineralized zone has been extensively exploited over 5-10 metre widths. However, to the northwest of the flexure the Veta Madre is observed as being 5-10 metres wide in stopes on level 55 but is otherwise undeveloped and unexplored for approximately 200 metres horizontally and to the 190 level, 135 metres below.

Presently, stopes are being developed on the 55 level of SVN to exploit the mineralization outlined in the sampling and mapping program. As these levels are accessible by ramp from surface, development and mining costs will be reduced.

In addition to the SVN area, extensive underground sampling and geological mapping has taken place in the Guanajuatito-Encarnación area, where surface drilling is still underway, and in the Pozo de Niño area on the 275-280 levels of the Rayas Mine.

3. Mapimi Project

a. Acquisition

On September 11, 2006, the Company signed an option agreement to purchase 100% of the ownership rights to seventeen mining concessions collectively known as the Mapimi Project (formerly “Km 66”) in eastern Durango State, Mexico. In consideration for the right and purchase option the Company must make staged payments totaling US$3,000,000 (US$100,000 paid) and issue 500,000 common shares (200,000 shares issued) over a four year period. The vendors retain a 3% NSR of which, each 0.5% up to a maximum of 2% can be purchased by the Company for US$500,000.

The Concessions are valid for 50 years from the time of grant and most are valid until 2053.

b. Location and Accessibility

The Property is situated in the northern plateau region of Durango State. It is located approximately 66 kilometres west of the town of Bermejillo and 100 kilometres north-west from the city of Torreon and San Pedro de las Colonias, in Coahuila State. The property is easily accessible and the infrastructure is considered excellent, since the property is bisected by paved highway approximately 100 kilometres from Peñoles’ smelter at Torreon.

Airports are situated in the city of Torreon as well as the city of Durango. Both airports have scheduled daily flights to and from Mexico City, Mazatlan, Monterrey and Houston, Texas.

The municipality of Mapimi is on an electrical power grid and has telephone services provided by TelMex. Water and drainage systems are also present.

c. History

In 1995, Minera Apolo, S.A. de C.V. (“Apolo”) acquired the property and optioned the property to Coeur d’Alene Mines Inc. in late 1996. Between 1997 and 1998, Coeur D’Alene carried out regional and geological mapping in some areas of the property. They completed a total of 397 metres of trenching, a gravity survery, 81 reverse circulation drill hoes, 22 diamond drill holes and 422 surface channel samples.

d. Mineralization

Mineralization at Mapimi includes lead, zinc, and silver minerals with lesser amounts of gold and copper minerals. The mineralization at Mapimi is associated with hydrothermal breccias and stockworks related to a cluster of rhyolite domes, and shows a strong similarity to the historic Real de Angeles District in Zacatecas State, Mexico. An upper, oxidized portion (~40-60m) of the mineralization at Mapimi consists of jarosite and hematite; with sulphides consisting of pyrite, silver sulfosalts, sphalerite and galena at depth.

The breccias have a general orientation of N40E, and a steep northwest dip. The largest breccia to date has known dimensions of 250 by 45 meters but is open in all directions. So far 18 breccia bodies have been identified in 5 main sectors. The focus during the late 1990's was on the Carmen, La Gloria, and Palmitas sector breccias, with no drilling done on the others. As the topography of the area is very subdued, other breccias may well have been overlooked and the extensive property contains excellent potential for additional mineralization.

e. Mineral Resource and Reserve Estimate


- 50 -

During the year, the Company commissioned Wardrop Engineering (“Wardrop”) of Vancouver, B.C. to prepare a NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate for the property. The independently produced report estimated that the Palmitas and Gloria Zones together contain an Inferred Mineral Resource of 4,969,800 tonnes at a grade of 59 g/t Ag, 0.13 g/t Au, 0.81% Pb and 1.31% Zn. Wardrop calculated that these grades equate to a silver equivalent grade of 139 g/t using commodity prices (based upon 3 year averages) of US$7.70/oz for silver, US$471/oz for gold, US$0.41/lb for lead and US$0.69/lb for zinc and recoveries of 76%, 70%, 80% and 80%, respectively. This resource equates to a total of 22.3 million ounces of silver equivalent.

The resource estimate was based upon a comprehensive exploration program completed on the property by Coeur d'Alene Mines during 1997 and 1998, wherein they drilled 81 reverse circulation holes (7,515 metres & 3,614 samples) and 22 diamond drill holes (2,983 metres & 900 samples). The geological database also includes 422 surface channel samples. Coeur d'Alene dropped the property in 1998. The resource includes 2,643,600 tonnes of oxide material at a grade of 51 g/t Ag, 0.11 g/t Au, 0.73% Pb and 0.98% Zn for a silver equivalent grade of 113 g/t and 2,326,200 tonnes of sulphide mineralization at a grade of 68 g/t Ag, 0.16 g/t Au, 0.90% Pb and 1.69% Zn for a silver equivalent grade of 169 g/t. As the grade of sulphide mineralization is 50% higher than the 40-60 metre-thick oxide zone, the Company expects the overall grade of the resource to increase over time as the deposit is extended to depth.

We advise U.S. investors that while these terms “Resource Estimate” and “Inferred Mineral Resource” are recognized and required under Canadian regulations, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize them. U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that any part of all of the mineral deposits in this category will ever be converted into reserves.

f. Exploration

Mapimi is viewed as an advanced stage exploration project that could be developed quickly with the goal of defining a new resource amenable to open pit mining, thereby significantly enhancing Great Panther's growing portfolio of silver projects. A first phase exploration program is in the implementation stage and consists of an airborne geophysical survey and ground induced polarization geophysical survey follow-up; detailed geological mapping and re-sampling of outcrops, adits and trenches; followed by a 1,000 meter core drilling program.

On December 16, 2006, we announced the beginning of a 5,000 metre diamond drilling program. Initially, the program will focus on confirming previous Coeur d’Alene drilling results in the Palmitas and La Gloria zones. Great Panther geologists have also been re-mapping the surface geology, re-sampling surface trenches and completing plans, sections and a 3D model of the above zones.

4. San Antonio Project

The San Antonio Project, a gold-copper project, located in the Guadalupe y Calvo Mining District, State of Chihuahua, Mexico, consists of three contiguous mining concessions covering in the aggregate 11,711 hectares. These concessions were staked and are owned 100% by MMR.

a. Acquisition - Santo Nino Concessions

Effective February 11, 2004, we entered into the Santo Nino Option Agreement, which granted us the right and option, for a period of three years, to purchase 100% of the ownership rights in and to the Santo Nino Mining Concession located in the Guadalupe y Calvo Mining District, State of Chihuahua, Mexico from Mr. Alfredo Rodriguez Chávez, as optionor, by making staged cash payments totalling US $165,000 as follows:


- 51 -

(a) US $20,000 within 10 days of the date of registration at the Mining registry of the option agreement;

(b) US $50,000 in five payments of US $10,000 each to be made by the conclusion of each semester following the date of registration of the option agreement;

(c) US $95,000 within 45 days of the third anniversary of the date of registration of the option agreement.

The Company made cash payments totaling US$30,000 during the year ended December 31, 2006. Subsequent to December 31, 2006, the Company paid an additional US$95,000 thus fulfilling all conditions of the option agreement.

There is no underlying Net Smelter Return royalty or other royalties and no work commitments on the concession.

On December 7, 2006, we signed a Letter of Intent with Altair Ventures Incorporated (“Altair”) by which Altair was granted an option to earn a 70% interest in the San Antonio Property.

Pursuant to the Letter of Intent, Altair may exercise its right to earn a 70% interest in the property by making staggered cash payments of US$200,000 (US$10,000 paid to date), issuing 200,000 Altair common shares to the Great Panther and incurring a minimum of US$1,000,000 of exploration expenditures over a three-year period.

b. Acquisition - San Taco Concessions

Effective February 28, 2004, we entered into the San Taco Option Agreement, which granted us the right and option, for a period of three years plus 30 days, to purchase 100% of the ownership rights in and to the San Taco Mining Concessions located in the Guadalupe y Calvo Mining District, State of Chihuahua, Mexico from Carlos Teodoro Ortiz Rodriquez, Abelardo Garza Hernanadez and Minera San Miguel de los Tarros, S.A. de C.V., as optionors, by making staged cash payments totalling US $965,000 as follows:

(a) US $50,000 within 30 days of the signing of the option agreement;

(b) US $75,000 by the first anniversary of the date of signing the option agreement;

(c) US $100,000 by the second anniversary of the date of signing the option agreement;

(d) US $740,000 by the third anniversary of the date of signing the option agreement.

As of December 31, 2005 we had made the US $50,000 payment in accordance with (a) above and, the US $75,000 payment in accordance with (b) above.

Subsequent to December 31, 2005, we decided not to actively commit to further exploration of the San Taco property, and as a result the value of the property as at December 31, 2005, was determined to be nil. As such, the acquisition costs associated with the property ($403,634) was expensed as part of the write down of property cost and the expense was recognized in the year ended December 31, 2005.

During 2006, we elected to discontinue exploration of the San Taco property and abandoned the project.

c. Location and Accessibility

The San Antonio project is located in the municipality of Guadalupe y Calvo, State of Chihuahua, Mexico, approximately 162km S-SW of the city of Hidalgo de Parral, Chihuahua, and 265km SW of the city of Chihuahua, and consists of the following active concessions:

Concession Size (hectares) Expiry Date
Santo Niño 80 21/04/2036
San Antonio 9,447 15/04/2010
Iran 2,184 09/05/2011

Road access to the San Antonio project is via paved highway from Hidalgo de Parral to the town of Guadalupe y Calvo, a distance of 255km, and then to Baborigame via a maintained unsurfaced road, a distance of 90km, and then via 33km of logging and ranch roads to a small ranch in the Arroyo San Antonio near the center of the project area. Straight line distance from Baborigame to the project area is 9km.

d. History

The San Antonio prospect lies within the Guadalupe y Calvo mining region. Earliest recorded mining activity in the region is the discovery in 1835 of the veins in the San Juan Nepocemo area west of Baborigame. Various Au-Ag vein deposits were subsequently discovered and commercial mining continued without interruption until 1940. Since then, only small scale artesenal mining has been conducted in the region. The San Antonio project lies outside of the areas of significant mine development, and little is known of the exploration history of the project. The numerous workings in the Arroyo San Antonio attest to minor production from the project area.

Neither significant nor modern exploration programs are known to have been conducted at the property. Anaconda, Barrick Gold and Hemlo Gold made reconnaissance visits to the property in the 1990's. In the 1980's the Consejo de Recursos Minerales conducted site specific visits to the Sary, Piedra Verde, and Santo Niño claims. The property was visited by Robert Archer, President of our subsidiary, in May of 2003. Mr. Archer collected ten reconnaissance rock chip samples from mine workings and altered outcrops in the Arroyo San Antonio.

The property had not been subjected to exploration drilling prior to our acquisition of the claims.

e. Mineralization

Numerous epithermal veins and mineralized structural zones are exposed in the Arroyo San Antonio. It is not clear if these structures are faults that juxtaposed rock types, or alternatively the structures formed along pre-existing lithologic contacts. Mineralized structures vary from 1 to 200 cm wide. All of these mineralized structures lie within a much broader zone of pervasive chloritization that is continuously exposed along the Arroyo San Antonio.

Geologic and mineral occurrence maps indicate that within the project area at least 12 mineralized structures or veins have been explored or exploited, and numerous others of unknown extent and importance are present.


- 53 -

(i) Sary Zone

The Sary showing comprises a mineralized fault zone that dips vertically or steeply to the S-SW. The Sary structure is exposed in a small mine working on the hillside east of the Arroyo San Antonio. The workings comprise a short adit perpendicular to the structure, and development/exploration drifts to the east and west along the structure. The workings were entered and sampled.

(ii) Arroyo Zone

A prominent zone of mineralization is exposed in the Arroyo San Antonio where the projection of the Hortencia vein intersects the arroyo, where two faults come in contact.

(iii) Piedra Verde

The Piedra Verde mine is developed on a fault bounded clast-supported breccia zone. The mineralized structure is exposed on surface and in small workings on the hillside immediately south of the Arroyo San Antonio.

The workings comprise a short adit perpendicular to the structure, and development/exploration drifts to the northwest and southeast along the structure. The workings were entered and sampled.

(iv) Santo Niño Vein

The Santo Niño mine is developed on a brecciated and quartz veined fault zone. It is exposed at surface on both sides of the Arroyo San Antonio and in the mine workings developed on the northwest side of the arroyo. The workings were entered and sampled.

(v) Santo Niño Stockwork

A zone of stockwork quartz-calcite-pyrite-chalcopyrite microveinlets cutting chloritic fine grained andesite breccia is exposed along the Arroyo San Antonio upstream (S-SW) of the Santo Niño mine. The zone is exposed in outcrops along the arroyo over a length in excess of 30m. Some of the veinlets contain bladed calcite, a textural feature common at high levels of epithermal systems.

(vi) El Cordon

The El Cordon showing comprises a shallow prospect at arroyo level and a 20m adit and open stope developed 30m above arroyo level. The working is developed along a fault breccia that is localized along the contact of an andesite dike that crosscuts a quartz eye rich felsic volcanic. The fault breccia is cut by white sugary quartz veinlets.

f. Exploration

Our 2005 exploration program at San Antonio continued with the geological mapping and sampling, prospecting and soil sampling from the prior year. The objective of the program was to identify zones of continuous and potentially economic gold and copper grades within the mineralized structures (veins) or stockwork zones. Drill targets meritorious of evaluation had already been identified, but additional geologic and geochemical surveys will be useful for prioritizing drill targets. The first phase of a detailed mapping and rock chip geochemical sampling, both on surface and underground, began, with emphasis on delineating the veins along strike and determining the extent of the stockwork zone. The first assay results from the sampling program of the Santo Nino vein were received in June, 2004 and indicated the presence of strong gold mineralization. The Santo Nino structure is the first and northernmost of three small underground workings in the San Antonio project to be sampled. More sampling results in July,


- 54 -

2004 identified a new area just 75 metres east-northeast of the Santo Nino vein. Historical mining on these veins was limited and their vertical and lateral extent is unknown as they have never been drilled. Ongoing exploration work sampled the other historic workings in detail, along with numerous other structures that have been found in the area. In addition, the large zone of stockwork and disseminated mineralization that lies between the veins was systematically sampled in order to determine the grade and distribution of gold and copper values as field crews continued to work their way from north to south across the core claims. Work to date has improved the Company's understanding of the geology of the project area. Phase One of the exploration program, completed in December, 2004, provided numerous diamond drill targets on the high grade vein system. A diamond drill program which commenced in February, 2005 comprised 1,936 metres in 16 holes, and focused on the high grade gold-copper vein system in the central part of the property.

In addition to the sampling described above, alteration studies are being conducted in order to help direct us towards areas of greatest potential within this extensive system and help to define targets for future diamond drilling.

No field work was done on the property in 2006.

Exploration on the project is being conducted by Resource Geosciences de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. of Hermosillo, Sonora under contract to our Mexican subsidiary, Minera Mexicana el Rosario, S.A. de C.V.

5. Virimoa Project

a. Acquisition

On June 13, 2005, we entered into an option agreement to purchase 100% of the ownership rights in and to two mining claims designated as the Virimoa Property, also located in the Topia Mining District, State of Durango, Mexico from Minera Acero del Fuego, S.A. de C.V., as optionor. Under the terms of the option agreement, we must compensate the optionor of the Virimoa Property by making four cash payments totalling US$300,000 (US$50,000 paid) over a period of three years. In a concurrent agreement, we are required to issue a total of 300,000 common shares (100,000 issued) to the optionor. If we exercise this option, the optionor will retain a 2% NSR, half of which can be purchased by us for US$1 million.

On June 23, 2006, we paid a second cash instalment of US$30,000 and issued a share allotment of 50,000 pursuant to our June 13, 2005, option agreement with Minera Aciero del Fuego, S.A. de C.V.

b. Location and Accessibility

The property consists of two exploitation concessions covering a total area of 148 hectares in the municipality of Canelas in the west central part of Durango State, Mexico. The Virimoa Property is about 17 kilometres south of the town of Topia and is accessible from there by gravel road. Otherwise, access is gained by travelling north for roughly 200 km on paved highway #23 from Durango through the city of Santiago Papasquiaro, and then west on paved and gravel roads to the town of Canelas, a distance of approximately 150 km. Total driving time from Durango is 8 hours. Canelas contains numerous stores, restaurants and small hotels. A small airstrip on the north side of the town is serviced daily from Culiacán, Sinaloa by small aircraft. Flight time from Culiacán is less than an hour. In addition, Virimoa is approximately 30 kilometres west of La Ciénega, Mexico’s largest gold mine, currently in production and owned by Compaña Minera Peñoles.

c. Exploration

In March, 2005, fieldwork commenced on the Virimoa Gold Property with initial exploration comprising detailed and extensive channel sampling and mapping focused on an exposure of intense iron oxide alteration. This work attempted to better define the controls on mineralization and to trace its extent. As the property has good road access, specific drill targets were generated for a diamond drilling program, the first ever, which was conducted in April, 2005.

Surface sampling at the Virimoa Property returned 1.11 g/t gold, 23 g/t silver and 1.32% zinc across 250 metres. The zone includes two higher grade intervals averaging 4.71 g/t gold, 41 g/t silver and 5.78% zinc across 25 metres near the southeast end of the cross-section and a gold-silver zone returning 3.13 g/t gold and 46 g/t silver across 20 metres near the northwest end. This work has not only confirmed previous sampling results of 1.08 g/t gold, 20.5 g/t silver and 1.66% zinc obtained by the vendor across the same exposure but the consistency of the results is quite remarkable. Great Panther's sampling however, extended and improved upon the higher grade zone at the southeast end, which was previously reported as returning 3.38 g/t Au, 26.2 g/t Ag and 4.93% Zn over 16 metres.

Mineralization consists of a closely spaced stockwork of massive quartz-pyrite+/-sphalerite+/-arsenopyrite veinlets and veins that can locally exceed several tens of centimetres in width. Disseminated pyrite is common between the veinlets. Intense iron oxide and argillic alteration of the host andesitic volcanics is exposed for more than 350 metres across the major structural trend, including the zone reported above. Along strike, however, the zone disappears under cover, such that its length is not yet known.

Great Panther's sampling was conducted along an irregular but continuous traverse line along the bank of a creek and the mineralization reported above actually comprised 57 continuous five-metre chip samples representing a tot al length of 285 metres. It is believed to represent a horizontal straight line distance of 250 metres, estimated to be close to the true width of the zone. Samples were assayed at ALS Chemex Labs in Vancouver by fire assay and either atomic absorption (in the case of the Au and Zn) or gravimetric (for Ag) finish.

A short diamond drilling program, completed in 2005, has outlined the presence of multiple zones of gold-silver-copper-zinc mineralization across a width of more than 250 metres. The drilling, comprising 856 metres in four holes, was designed to complete a cross section under a zone of mineralization exposed on surface that returned 1.11 g/t gold, 23 g/t silver and 1.32% zinc across 250 metres from continuous channel sampling. As reported on April 26, 2005 this zone included two higher grade intervals averaging 4.71 g/t gold, 41 g/t silver and 5.78% zinc across 25 metres near the southeast end of the cross-section and a gold-silver zone returning 3.13 g/t gold and 46 g/t silver across 20 metres near the northwest end.

Holes 05-VIR01 and 02 were drilled from the same location under the “southeast zone”, with holes 05-VIR03 and 04 being drilled behind them in order to complete a line across the entire mineralized area. Hole 05-VIR04 was drilled under the “northwest zone”. The distribution of grade and extent of the mineralization along strike has not yet been tested. More than a dozen discrete zones have been outlined, many of which contain copper mineralization not observed on surface. Although gold and zinc grades were lower in the drilling than on surface, the drilling displayed a marked zonation to the mineralization from higher copper in the northwest to higher gold and zinc in the southeast and this zonation likely also holds true in a vertical sense. Silver values are more consistent throughout but the best correlation is seen with copper, whereas the weakest correlation is observed between copper and zinc, as seen in the table below. As such, copper-silver mineralization may be stronger at depth whereas gold and zinc appear to be enriched at higher levels. As the surface mineralization was sampled in a creek exposure in a valley,


- 56 -

the mineralization strikes into the hill on both sides, thereby preserving the upper levels of the system and, hopefully the gold-zinc enriched portion.

Mineralization consists of a closely spaced stockwork of massive quartz-pyrite+/-sphalerite+/-arsenopyrite and chalcopyrite+/-tetrahedrite veinlets and veins with disseminated pyrite in between. These veins carry higher grades, such as 11.1 g/t Au, 458 g/t Ag, 9.47% Cu and 0.45 % Zn over 0.3m in Hole 05-VIR01 and 8.71 g/t Au, 544 g/t Ag, 6.95 % Cu and 3.28 % Zn over 0.3m in Hole 05-VIR02, but elsewhere mineralization is much more consistent, giving wide zones of lower grade material that may be amenable to bulk tonnage mining methods. Intense iron oxide and sericite alteration of the host dacite volcanics is exposed for more than 350 metres on surface before the zone disappears under cover.

In 2006, no field work was done on the property.

ITEM 4A        Unresolved Staff Comments

None

ITEM 5           Operating and Financial Review and Prospects

The information in this section is presented in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles, and has not been reconciled to United States generally accepted accounting principles. The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2006, December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this registration statement in accordance with Item 8 – "Financial Information".

Critical Accounting Estimates

The following critical accounting policies affect our more significant estimates and assumptions used in preparing our consolidated financial statements.

Mineral properties, plant and equipment and change in accounting policy

Our policy is to expense, as incurred, exploration expenditures, periodic option payments related to mineral properties and administrative and land use costs incurred prior to commercial feasibility of mining operations being established. Mineral property acquisition expenditures continue to be capitalized.

Mineral property sales proceeds or option payments received for exploration rights are treated as cost recoveries. Mineral property acquisition costs include the cash consideration and the fair value of common shares issued for mineral property interests, pursuant to the terms of the relevant agreement. Costs related to the acquisition of property and mineral rights, equipment, construction of production facilities and the development and betterment of mine infrastructure and equipment are capitalized. Costs of permitting, evaluation and feasibility are capitalized upon completion of an analysis which demonstrates the economic viability of the mineral deposit.

Once commercial production has commenced, production facilities and equipment, stated at cost, are depreciated using the straight-line method or units-of-production method, if sufficient reserve information is available, over their estimated useful lives, not to exceed the life of the mine to which the assets relate. As at December 31, 2006, the Company did not have a reliable estimate of reserves and therefore did not use units-of-productions method.


- 57 -

Vehicles and office equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. When assets are retired or sold, the costs and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations.

The management of the Company regularly reviews the carrying value of its mineral properties. In determining the carrying value of the property, some factors considered include current base and precious metal prices, accessibility to the property and estimating mineral potential with limited available information.

The management of the Company regularly reviews the carrying value of its plant and equipment. In determining the current carrying value, the management of the Company regularly reviews the market value of similar items that are available for purchase, availability of replacement parts, existing maintenance and service records and observing the overall efficiency of the items.

Going concern

The consolidated financial statements are prepared on the basis that we will continue as a going concern. The going concern basis of presentation assumes we will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize our assets and settle our liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. Our ability to continue as a going concern and to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities when due in the normal course of business is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable mineral reserves and our ability to raise adequate financing from lenders, shareholders and other investors to support such business activities. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Stock-based compensation

We account for employee non-cash stock-based compensation, beginning January 1, 2003, and non-employee non-cash stock based compensation under the fair value method. Pursuant to this method, we estimate the fair value of stock options and warrants granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. This model, and other models which are used to value options, require inputs such as expected volatility, expected life to exercise and interest rates. Changes to any of these inputs could cause a significant change in the stock-based compensation expense charged in a period.

Reclamation and remediation

Our mining and exploration activities are subject to various laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. We recognize the fair value of future reclamation and remediation as a liability in the period in which we incur a legal obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that results from the acquisition, construction, development, and/or normal use of the asset, if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The liability is measured initially at fair value and the resulting cost capitalized into the carrying value of the related assets. In subsequent periods, the liability is adjusted for accretion of the discount and any change in the amount or timing of the underlying cash flows. The asset retirement cost is depreciated over the remaining life of the assets.

It is reasonably possible that the ultimate cost of remediation and reclamation could change in the future due to uncertainties associated with defining the nature and extent of environmental contamination, the application of laws and regulations by regulatory authorities and changes in remediation technology. We continually review our accrued liabilities, if any, as evidence becomes available indicating that our


- 58 -

remediation and reclamation liabilities may have changed. Any such increases in costs could materially impact the future amounts charged to operations for reclamation and remediation obligations.

A.           Operating Results

The Company, in its transformation from a company concentrating on exploration to a company now focused on the mining of precious and base metals, generated net sales of $7,069,442. This revenue from mining operations resulted from the sale of metal concentrates derived from the mining and subsequent processing of mineralization from its Topia and Guanajuato operations. Revenue for the year has grown on a quarter-by-quarter basis as production levels have steadily increased at both operations. Revenue from operations grew from $405,000 in the first quarter to approximately $3.8 million by the fourth quarter. This increase can be attributed to increased production levels at the two mining operations.

Total production for both mines for the year was 638,860 ounces of Silver Equivalent (oz of Ag Eq), including 313,484 oz Ag; 1,394 oz Au; 1,381,637 lbs Pb and 1,636,139 lbs Zn. (In calculating Ag Eq, the Company used prices of US$525/oz for gold, US$0.50/lb for lead, US$1.20/lb for zinc, and US$10.25/oz and US$10.50/oz for silver for the first and second semesters, respectively, of 2006). Throughput at Topia plant increased from a nominal 20 tpd in January 2006 to 160 tpd by December 31, 2006. Guanajuato commenced production in June 2006 at 400 tpd and reached a throughput of 700 tpd by December 31, 2006.

The Company incurred significant start-up costs at both Topia and Guanajuato, and as a result, cash costs, which included all direct and indirect production costs, were higher in the first months of operation and declined throughout the year. General site preparation costs and ongoing repair and maintenance expenditures increased the Company’s production costs for the year. Site preparation costs were necessary to ensure a safe work environment and to prepare specific areas for mining. Although there are future benefits associated with these expenditures, the Company elected to expense these costs as incurred. General repairs and maintenance costs were also higher that anticipated as much of these costs relate to the general start-up of operations. Overall cost of sales for the 2006 fiscal year was $7,119,047 and amortization and depletion of mineral property, plant and equipment was $1,415,231. As efficiencies are created in the Company’s operations, and with much of these start-up costs associated with bringing both operations back into production now behind us, management anticipates significantly improved margins in the 2007 fiscal year.

Overall general & administrative expenses (“G&A”) incurred, excluding non-cash stock-based compensation expense, was $4,073,923 for FY06 compared to $1,986,450 (FY05) and 710,405 (FY04). This increase is reflective of the growth of the Company in the past twelve months. During the year, the Company’s employee base grew from approximately 90 to more than 390 by the end of the FY06. Much of the increase in G&A expenditures can be attributed to the growth of the operations at Topia and Guanajuato. In addition, during FY06, the Company also maintained an accounting office in Mexico that handles many of the accounting and taxation issues specific to Mexico.

Accounting and audit related costs in FY06 was $390,020 compared to $192,148 and $84,664 in FY05 and FY04 respectively. This increased cost is largely attributed to the complexity of the Company’s audit process with full operating subsidiaries in Mexico. The Company also added additional personnel in both Mexico and Canada as the growth of the Company’s accounting functions necessitated the increase in staffing levels. Additional costs were also incurred as a result of documenting and testing the Company’s internal controls related to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as regulatory requirement required by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

Consulting fees for the year increased from $468,989 in fiscal year 2005 to $690,164 in fiscal year 2006 with the addition of technical and professionally qualified personnel necessitated by the growth of the Company’s Mexican operations.

Insurance costs increased during the fiscal year with coverage of the Company’s property, plant and equipment coverage for a 12-month period while in FY05, insurance coverage was for a partial period. This resulted in an increase in insurance costs from approximately $12,000 in FY05 to $186,000 in FY06.

During FY06, the Company implemented an aggressive marketing strategy to promote the Company in the United States and Europe and, in so doing, incurred approximately $869,000 in investor relations services. Expenditures in investor relations are necessary to attract new investors and to inform current shareholders of the Company’s progress.

During FY06, the Company graduated to the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) trading under the symbol “GPR”. As a result, the Company incurred an additional $225,000 in related filing and legal fees during this period relative to FY05. The transfer onto TSX is expected to increase the Company’s exposure to institutional and retail investors in both domestic and international markets.

With the growth in the Company, an increase in office supplies, telephone costs and rent were incurred during the year. These costs directly relate to the initial set up of administrative offices at Topia and Guanajuato, and maintaining an administrative location in Durango. In addition, the Vancouver office has experienced substantial growth with additional staff necessitating the move to additional larger premises.

The development of the Company’s mining operations resulted in an increase in travel and related expenses associated with overseeing and managing activities in Mexico. Travel costs for FY06 were $287,973 compared to $201,910 and $68,369 for FY 05 and FY04 respectively.

Mineral property exploration costs in FY06 were $3,968,083 compared to $2,340,398 and $1,710,243 in FY05 and FY04, respectively. The increased costs are largely attributed to the Company’s ongoing development of its mineral properties to better define its resources. With the high demand for qualified drillers, geologists and other mining related personnel, many companies like Great Panther are incurring higher than normal costs for these services because of the general shortage of qualified individuals.

Interest expense was $830,236 for FY06, compared to $27,251 in FY05 and $14,870 in FY04. The increase is a result of the interest accreted on debts. On the purchase of the Company’s mineral properties, the Company was required by Canadian GAAP to discount the carrying value of the debt by an effective rate of interest. The effective rate of interest was estimated to be 26.8% .

The Company also incurred non-cash stock-based compensation expenses of $4,672,774 for FY06 compared to $357,298 and $393,850 for FY05 and FY04, respectively. The substantial growth of the Company, and the need to attract and retain quality individuals, resulted in this additional expense.

Overall, the loss for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006 (“FY06”) was $15,084,437 compared to $5,231,685 and $2,893,657 for the twelve month periods ending December 31, 2005 (“FY05”) and December 31, 2004, (“FY04”), respectively for the above noted reasons.

During the year, the Company raised gross cash proceeds of $15 million through one private placement and $2,020,000 from the issuance of a convertible note. In addition, the Company received proceeds of approximately $10.1 million through the exercising of warrants and options.


- 60 -

The Company’s working capital at December 31, 2006 was $12,533,156 compared to $1,407,474 at December 31, 2005. Working capital, together with the anticipated exercise of warrants and options, should be adequate to fund the Company’s activities and to cover corporate overhead for the next fiscal year.The total assets of our Company were $32,132,259 as at December 31, 2006 compared to assets of $19,218,970 as at December 31, 2005. The increase can be largely attributed to an increase in cash and cash equivalents over the twelve month period as a result of the financing activities during the year. The Company also increased its amounts receivable as the Company accrued revenue related to the 2006 fiscal year. In addition, there was a general increase in mineral property, plant and equipment over the year with the purchase of the Arcoiris mineral concessions, the Fundiciones land purchase and the purchase of machinery to operate the mines.

The Company saw a general decrease in its liabilities. Liabilities for the period ended December 31, 2006 was $3,582,428 compared to $5,836,542. The decrease is a result of the full settlement of debt associated with the Guanajuato mine, and partial settlement of the Topia obligation. The Company issued a convertible note payable in 2006 with a face value of $2,020,000.

Under Canadian GAAP, the proceeds of the financing allocated to the estimated fair value of the conversion feature of the debt is recorded as an equity component of the debt (note 7(b)). Under US GAAP, a value is assigned to the conversion feature only if the conversion rate is less than the market price of the common stock at the date of issuance. Accordingly, no value would be assigned under US GAAP to the conversion feature on the convertible note issued in 2006.

Applying US GAAP, the convertible note at December 31, 2006 would be recorded at its face value of $2,020,000 and no value would be assigned to an equity component of the convertible note. In addition, accretion on the calculated debt discount on the convertible note under Canadian GAAP aggregating $149,799 (2005 and 2004 - Nil) for the year ended December 31, 2006 would not have been recorded, reducing interest expense by an equivalent amount.

The Company’s subsidiary, Minera de Villa Seca, S.A. de C.V., is being reviewed by the Social Security Institution primarily for fees which it views may be owing by a contractor of the Company during the period March to October 2006. The Company has determined that it is not possible to assess the outcome of this review, but the Company does not expect that the outcome will have a material impact on its financial position, if any.

B.           Liquidity and Capital Resources

Fiscal year 2006 marked the Company’s transition from exploration to production and revenues. Our financial success will rely on our ability to continue to generate sufficient revenue through operations and on management's ability to find additional economically viable mineral deposits. This process can take many years and is largely based on factors that are beyond our control.

In order to finance our exploration, development, and production activities as well as corporate overhead, we are dependent on investor sentiment remaining positive towards the gold and silver exploration business generally, and towards our Company in particular, so that funds can be raised through the sale of our securities. Many factors have an influence on investor sentiment, including a positive climate for mineral exploration, a company's track record and the experience and calibre of a company's management. There is no certainty that equity funding will be available at the times and in the amounts required to fund our activities.

1. Cash and Financial Conditions

At December 31, 2006, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $9,208,048 compared to $5,295,397 as at December 31, 2005. The Company’s financial instruments are all fully cashable at any time, so there are no restrictions on availability of funds. The increase in cash and cash equivalents is a direct result of the additional financing activities completed during the year. The Company also increased its cash and cash equivalents by approximately $5 million from $2.4 million in 2005 to $7.4 million in 2006, as excess funds were placed in guaranteed investment certificates.

The Company’s working capital at December 31, 2006 was $12,533,156 compared to $1,407,474 at December 31, 2005. Working capital, together with the anticipated exercise of warrants and options, should be adequate to fund the Company’s activities and to cover corporate overhead for the next fiscal year. Subsequent to December 31, 2006 to April 18, 2007, we have raised gross cash proceeds of approximately $899,113 from the exercise of warrants and options.

Great Panther does not have access to any lines of credit, nor other arrangements in place, to borrow funds. The Company also does not have any off-balance sheet financing arrangements. At this time, Great Panther does not use hedges or other financial derivatives.

2. Investing Activities

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2006, the Company’s net cash outflows from investing activities of $5,736,570 compared to an outflow of $6,258,661 for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2005. This difference is due to the continual rehabilitation of, and investment in, the Company’s mines.

Much of the Company’s resources have been directed to the purchase of capital assets and the modernization and preparation of the mine sites for future development.

3. Financing Activities

On January 9, 2006, we granted incentive stock options to directors, officers, employees and consultants incentive stock options to purchase an aggregate of 2,355,000 common shares. The options are exercisable until January 5, 2011 at an exercise price of $0.90 per share.

On January 26, 2006, we entered a 24-month consulting agreement with B& D Capital. The agreement is for an initial period of 24 months and is renewable there after. As compensation for services provided by B&D Capital we will pay a monthly fee of $4,000 and have granted the option to purchase a total of 200,000 common shares at $0.90 until December 31, 2007.

On February 28, 2006, we released the remaining 1,012,500 common shares of our Company previously held in escrow. These shares formed part of the original 2,250,000 shares issued on the acquisition of our Mexican subsidiary, Minera Mexicana El Rosario, S.A. de C.V.

On March 8, 2006, we completed a private placement of a $2.02 million convertible loan note with City Natural Resource High Yield Trust PLC. The note is unsecured, bears interest at 8% per annum payable quarterly, and matures on March 9, 2010. Prior to maturity, the principal amount of the note, or any portion thereof, is convertible into common shares of our Company at a conversion price of $1.32 per share. The conversion price exceeds the market price of our common shares at the date of the agreement of $1.17. The fair value of the convertible feature of the note was calculated by our management as $1,006,000, using the Black-Scholes model as required by Canadian GAAP.


- 62 -

On June 1, 2006, we issued by private placement 7,500,000 units at a price of $2.00 per unit (Unit) for gross proceeds of $15,000,000 and paid cash issuance costs of $1,133,361. Each Unit comprises one common share and one-half of one transferable share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder, upon exercise, to acquire one common share of the Company at a price of $2.65 until June 1, 2008. After the expiration of the hold period the Company has the right to accelerate the expiry date of the warrants if the closing price of the Company's common shares on the TSX Exchange exceeds $3.35 for a period of 20 consecutive trading days. The Company also issued 479,375 broker warrants entitling the holder to acquire one common share of the Company at $2.00 for a period of twenty-four months. The fair value of broker warrants of $251,500 is recorded as a cost of financing and is included in contributed surplus.

On December 7, 2006 we granted incentive stock options to directors, officers, employees and consultants to purchase an aggregate of up to 2,295,000 shares. The options, granted under the Company's Amended and Restated Incentive Stock Option Plan, are exercisable until December 6, 2011 at $2.65 per share.

On December 8, 2006 we signed a letter of intent with Altair Ventures Inc. (TSX-V: AVX.P) whereby Altair will have the option to earn a 70% interest in our San Antonio Property. Terms of the agreement call for Altair to make staged payments and share issuances to Great Panther totalling US$200,000 and 200,000 shares over 3 years.

4. Reconciliation to United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles

A description of US GAAP and practices prescribed by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (collectively US GAAP) that result in material measurement differences from Canadian GAAP are as follows:

(a)           Income taxes:

As described in note 2(m), the Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes which is also in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Board No. 109 Accounting for Income Taxes (SFAS 109). Under Canadian GAAP, future tax assets and liabilities are recorded at substantially enacted tax rates. Under US GAAP, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded at enacted tax rates. For each of the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, net future tax assets are fully offset by a valuation allowance as it is not more likely than not that the future tax assets would be realized. As a result, the application of US GAAP in accounting for income taxes does not result in any material measurement differences from Canadian GAAP for future tax assets.

(b)           Stock-based compensation:

The Company adopted the new recommendations of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants with respect to the accounting for stock-based compensation on January 1, 2002 as described in note 2(i). Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Board No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS 123) became effective for US GAAP purposes for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995.

For fiscal years ending prior to December 31, 2003, as allowed by SFAS 123, the Company followed the intrinsic value principles of APB Opinion 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and related interpretations, in measuring compensation expense for employee options. Under the intrinsic value method, compensation cost is the excess, if any, of the quoted market value of the stock at the measurement date, which is generally the grant date, over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. The application of APB 25 resulted in compensation expense of $15,000 being recognized for employees in the year ended December 31, 2001 under US GAAP and no similar expense was required


- 63 -

under Canadian GAAP. Effective January 1, 2003, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123 whereby the fair value of the stock options granted to employees was expensed. Under the modified prospective method of adoption selected by the Company under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Board No. 148 Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure (SFAS 148), employee compensation cost recognized in 2003 is the same as that which would have been recognized had the provisions of SFAS 123 been applied from its original effective date. Results of prior years have not been restated.

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS 123R) Share Based Payment using the modified prospective method for all employee awards granted, modified or settled after the effective date using the fair value measurement method of this standard. For unvested employee equity awards as of the effective date, compensation is to be recognized based upon the grant date fair value determined under SFAS 123, adjusted to reflect the estimated impact of forfeitures. Upon adoption of SFAS 123R, there was no cumulative effect adjustment required. Non-employee awards are accounted for under the fair value method under both Canadian and US GAAP

There were no significant differences in accounting for stock-based compensation between Canadian GAAP and US GAAP during the three years ended December 31, 2006.

(c)           Elimination of deficit:

During the year ended December 31, 1999, the Company reduced its paid-up capital by $6,211,205 to eliminate the deficit at March 31, 1999. In order to effect these reductions, it was not necessary to revalue the assets of the Company. As a consequence, all conditions under the US GAAP quasi-reorganization rules were not met and the recapitalization of the deficit would not be recorded.

(d)           Convertible note payable:

Under Canadian GAAP, the proceeds of the financing allocated to the estimated fair value of the conversion feature of the debt is recorded as an equity component of the debt (note 7(b)). Under US GAAP, a value is assigned to the conversion feature only if the effective conversion rate is less than the market price of the common stock at the date of issuance. Accordingly, no value would be assigned under US GAAP to the conversion feature on the convertible note issued in 2006

Applying US GAAP, the convertible note at December 31, 2006 would be recorded at its face value of $2,020,000 and no value would be assigned to an equity component of the convertible note. In addition, accretion on the calculated debt discount on the convertible note under Canadian GAAP aggregating $149,799 (2005 and 2004 - Nil) for the year ended December 31, 2006 would not have been recorded, reducing interest expense by an equivalent amount.

The amounts in the consolidated balance sheets that differ significantly from those reported under Canadian GAAP are as follows:

    December 31, 2006 December 31, 2005
           
    Canadian US Canadian US

(e)           Income statement presentation:

The consolidated statement of operations includes a write down of the San Taco mineral property in other expenses. Under US GAAP, this amount would be disclosed as an operations expense.

(f)           Recent accounting pronouncements:

(i)           On June 1, 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes, and FASB Statement No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements. SFAS 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of any change in accounting principle unless it is impracticable to do so or a new standard specifically indicates otherwise. This is a change from the preceding practice that requires most accounting changes to be accounted for by including in net income, in the period of the change, the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle. SFAS 154 was effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made after December 31, 2005, and the adoption of this standard had no significant effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

(ii)          In June 2006, FASB issued Financial Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - An Interpretation of SFAS Statement No. 109. This interpretation provides guidance on recognition and measurement of uncertainties in income taxes and is effective for the Company’s 2008 fiscal year end. The Company does not expect the adoption of this Interpretation to have a significant effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

(iii)         In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurement to define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value and to expand disclosures about fair value measurements. The statement only applies to fair value and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company does not expect the adoption of this Interpretation to have a significant effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

(iv)          In September 2006, the US Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 which provides guidance on the consideration of the effects of prior year misstatements in quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements. This guidance is applicable for annual statements for periods ending after November 15, 2006. The adoption of this interpretation did not result in any adjustments being recognized in the consolidated financial statements.

(g)           Reconciliation:

The effect of the measurement differences between Canadian GAAP and US GAAP on the consolidated balances sheets and statements of operations and cash flows is summarized as follows:

          (i) Share capital and contributed surplus:

C.           Research and Development

We do not currently, and did not previously, have research and development policies in place. Over the past three fiscal years, we spent approximately $719,406 on due diligence for various other mining properties.

D.           Trend Information

Our business is mining of precious metals deposits, principally gold and silver, so the price of these commodities has a direct impact on our prospects for success and our ability to raise capital. The recent trend for the price of gold and silver has been positive and has remained steady at relatively high historical prices. Management believes that the current trend will continue for the foreseeable future. History has shown, however, that there can be no such assurances.

E.           Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Business Experience, Function and Area of Experience

Kaare G. Foy

C.           Board Practices

The election and retirement of our directors are provided for in our by-laws. An election of directors takes place at each annual meeting of shareholders and all the directors then in office retire but, if qualified, are eligible for re-election. A director retains office only until the election of his successor. The number of directors to be elected at such meeting is the number of directors then in office, unless the directors or the shareholders otherwise determine. The election is by ordinary resolution of shareholders. If an election of directors is not held at the proper time, the incumbent directors continue in office until their successors are elected. Our last annual general meeting was held on June 15, 2006.

Our by-laws also permit the directors to add additional directors to the board between annual general meetings as long as the number appointed does not exceed one-third of the number directors elected at the last annual general meeting. Individuals appointed as directors to fill casual vacancies created on the board or added as additional directors hold office like any other director until the next annual general meeting at which time they may be re-elected or replaced.

Our officers are re-elected at a directors' meeting following each annual general meeting

The members of our audit committee include John T. Kopcheff, Malcolm A. Burne and A. Michael Turko. The audit committee reviews and approves the scope of the audit procedures employed by our independent auditors, reviews the results of the auditor's examination, the scope of audits, the auditor's opinion on the adequacy of internal controls and quality of financial reporting and our accounting and reporting principles, policies and practices, as well as our accounting, financial and operating controls. The audit committee also reports to the board of directors with respect to such matters and recommends the selection of independent auditors. Before financial statements that are to be submitted to the shareholders at an annual general meeting are considered by the board of directors, such financial statements are submitted to the audit committee for review with the independent auditors, following which the report of the audit committee on the financial statements is submitted to the board of directors.

We do not currently have a remuneration or compensation committee.

In 2006, we entered into the following consulting services contracts with certain of our directors, or companies controlled by them:

Stock Option Plan

We have an incentive stock option plan that provides for the grant of incentive stock options to purchase our common shares to our directors, officers and key employees and other persons providing ongoing services to us. Our stock option plan is administered by our board of directors. The maximum number of our common shares which may be reserved and set aside for issuance under our stock option plan is equal to 10% of the number of common shares outstanding from time to time on a non-diluted basis. Each option upon its exercise entitles the grantee to one common share. The exercise price of common shares subject to an option will be determined by the board of directors at the time of grant and will be not less than the discounted market price of the common shares at the date of grant, as determined under the policies of the Toronto Stock Exchange. Options may be granted under our stock option plan for an exercise period of up to five years from the date of grant of the option or such lesser periods as may be determined by our board of directors.

During the year ended December 31, 2006, and subsequently, we granted the following stock options:

Legal Proceedings


- 80 -

The Company is aware of legal proceedings in which The Sociedad Cooperativa Minero Metalúrgica Santa Fe de Guanajuato (“the Cooperativa”), as principal defendant, and the Company, Minera Mexicana el Rosario, S.A. de C.V. (“MMR”) and one of MMR’s officers have been named as secondary defendants in a lawsuit filed by several dissident members of the Cooperativa. The lawsuit alleges that the sale of the Guanajuato mine assets should be nulled on the basis that the proceedings leading to the approval of the sale did not meet specific requirements as set out in the bylaws of the Cooperativa.

The Company’s legal representatives have reviewed the basis of their claim and have concluded that the sale of the assets by the Cooperativa to MMR met the requirements set out by the bylaws of the Cooperativa and, as such, the lawsuit is without merit.

Dividend Distributions

Holders of our common shares are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared from time to time by our board, in its discretion, out of funds legally available for that purpose. We intend to retain future earnings, if any, for use in the operation and expansion of our business and do not intend to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

ITEM 10           Additional Information

A.           Share Capital

Not applicable

B.           Memorandum and Articles of Association

The information required by this section is incorporated by reference from our Registration Statement on Form 20-F, filed on August 10, 2004.

C.           Material Contracts

Our material contracts entered into up to the date of filing our Registration Statement on Form 20-F are incorporated by reference from our Registration Statement on Form 20-F, which was filed on August 10, 2004.

Since the date of filing our Registration Statement on Form 20-F, we have entered into the following additional material contracts:

On January 4, 2005, we signed a letter of intent with Minera Acero del Fuego, S.A. de C.V. for an option to purchase 100% of the ownership rights in and to two mining claims designated as the Virimoa Property located in the Topia Mining District, State of Durango, Mexico. The project consists of two concessions comprising 148 hectares and hosts a zone of intense alteration, exposed for more than 350 metres. Terms of the agreement call for our Company to make four staged cash payments and share issuances totaling US$300,000 and 300,000 shares (100,000 issued), over a period of three years, to the property owner. If the option is exercised, the property owner will retain a 2% NSR, half of which can be purchased for US$1,000,000.

On June 30, 2005, we entered into an agreement with Compañia Minera de Canelas y Topia S.A. de C.V (the “vendor”) to purchase 100% of the ownership rights in and to all the fixed assets, machinery, equipment and Topia Silver-Lead-Zinc Mine located in the Municipality of Topia, State of Durango, Mexico. We exercised our option to acquire the mine, which includes a 200 tonne per day mill and complete mining infrastructure, after a 7,436 metre surface diamond drilling program completed by our Company in 2004-05 indicated that the property had significant potential to host additional resources.


- 83 -

Upon signing the agreement for the Topia Silver-Lead-Zinc Mine, we paid a total of US$540,165 to the vendor and to two divisions of Peñoles, the latter being part of the assumed debt. The balance of the purchase price, approximately US$1.76 million, is divided between the vendor (US$946,000 owed) and La Cienega, a division of Peñoles. While the debt to the vendor will be paid in stages over the next three years, the debt to La Cienega will be paid effectively from the proceeds of production as a 10% Net Smelter Return (“NSR”) royalty, until the debt is fully repaid, at which time the NSR ceases. We have the option of paying out the debt in full at any time.

On October 25, 2005, we signed a formal purchase agreement with the Sociedad Cooperativa Minero Metalúrgica Santa Fe de Guanajuato to acquire a 100% interest in a group of producing silver-gold mines in Guanajuato, Mexico. The three principal mines in the Company’s acquisition, the Valenciana, Cata and Rayas, occupy the heart of the 25 kilometre long Veta Madre (Mother Lode) structure that controls the majority of the silver-gold mineralization in the Guanajuato District. The total purchase price was US$7,250,000 which included 1,107 hectares in two main properties, the 1,200 tonne-per-day plant, workshops and administration facilities, complete mining infrastructure, mining equipment, and certain surface rights (real estate). At December 31, 2006, all payments and other contractual obligations have been met.

On September 11, 2006, we signed a letter of intent to acquire 100% in the Mapimi Project (formerly “Km66”). The agreement is subject to a 3% NSR to the present property owners. Each 0.5% of the NSR, up to a maximum of 2%, can be purchased for $500,000. As part of the agreement, Great Panther is required to make 6 staged cash payments and share issuances totaling $3,000,000 and 500,000 shares over the subsequent 4 years.

On December 7, 2006 we signed a Letter of Intent with Altair Ventures Incorporated (“Altair”) by which Altair was granted an option to earn a 70% interest in the San Antonio Property. Pursuant to the Letter of Intent, Altair may exercise its right to earn 70% interest in the property by making staggered cash payments of US$200,000 (US$10,000 has been paid), issuing 200,000 Altair common shares to Great Panther (100,000 have been issued) and incurring a minimum of US$1,000,000 of exploration expenditures over a three-year period.

D.           Exchange Controls

There are no government laws, decrees or regulations in Canada which restrict the export or import of capital or which affect the remittance of dividends, interest or other payments to non-resident holders of our common shares. Any remittances of dividends to United States residents and to other non-residents are, however, subject to withholding tax. See "Taxation" below.

E.           Taxation

Canadian Federal Income Taxation

We consider that the following summary fairly describes the principal Canadian federal income tax consequences applicable to a holder of our common shares who at all material times deals at arm's length with our Company, who holds all common shares as capital property, who is resident in the United States, who is not a resident of Canada and who does not use or hold, and is not deemed to use or hold, his common shares of our Company in connection with carrying on a business in Canada (a "non-resident holder"). It is assumed that the common shares will at all material times be listed on a stock exchange that is prescribed for purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "ITA") and regulations thereunder. Investors should be aware that the Canadian federal income tax consequences applicable to holders of our common shares will change if, for any reason, we cease to be listed on a prescribed stock exchange.


- 84 -

Accordingly, holders and prospective holders of our common shares should consult with their own tax advisors with respect to the income tax consequences of them purchasing, owing and disposing of our common shares should we cease to be listed on a prescribed stock exchange.

This summary is based upon the current provisions of the ITA, the regulations thereunder, the Canada-United States Tax Convention as amended by the Protocols thereto (the "Treaty") as at the date of the registration statement and the currently publicly announced administrative and assessing policies of the Canada Revenue Agency (the "CRA"). This summary does not take into account Canadian provincial income tax consequences. This description is not exhaustive of all possible Canadian federal income tax consequences and does not take into account or anticipate any changes in law, whether by legislative, governmental or judicial action. This summary does, however, take into account all specific proposals to amend the ITA and regulations thereunder, publicly announced by the Government of Canada to the date hereof.

This summary does not address potential tax effects relevant to our Company or those tax considerations that depend upon circumstances specific to each investor. Accordingly, holders and prospective holders of our common shares should consult with their own tax advisors with respect to the income tax consequences to them of purchasing, owning and disposing of common shares in our Company.

The ITA provides that dividends and other distributions deemed to be dividends paid or deemed to be paid by a Canadian resident corporation (such as our Company) to a non-resident of Canada shall be subject to a non-resident withholding tax equal to 25% of the gross amount of the dividend or deemed dividend. Provisions in the ITA relating to dividend and deemed dividend payments to and gains realized by non-residents of Canada, who are residents of the United States, are subject to the Treaty. The Treaty may reduce the withholding tax rate on dividends as discussed below.

Article X of the Treaty as amended by the US-Canada Protocol ratified on November 9, 1995 provides a 5% withholding tax on gross dividends or deemed dividends paid to a United States corporation which beneficially owns at least 10% of the voting stock of the company paying the dividend. In cases where dividends or deemed dividends are paid to a United States resident (other than a corporation) or a United States corporation which beneficially owns less than 10% of the voting stock of a company, a withholding tax of 15% is imposed on the gross amount of the dividend or deemed dividend paid. We would be required to withhold any such tax from the dividend and remit the tax directly to CRA for the account of the investor.

The reduction in withholding tax from 25%, pursuant to the Treaty, will not be available:

(a)           if the shares in respect of which the dividends are paid formed part of the business property or were otherwise effectively connected with a permanent establishment or fixed base that the holder has or had in Canada within the 12 months preceding the disposition, or

(b)           the holder is a U.S. LLC which is not subject to tax in the U.S.

The Treaty generally exempts from Canadian income tax dividends paid to a religious, scientific, literary, educational or charitable organization or to an organization exclusively administering a pension, retirement or employee benefit fund or plan, if the organization is resident in the U.S. and is exempt from income tax under the laws of the U.S.

Capital Gains

A non-resident holder is not subject to tax under the ITA in respect of a capital gain realized upon the disposition of one of our shares unless the share represents "taxable Canadian property" to the holder thereof. Our common shares will be considered taxable Canadian property to a non-resident holder only if:

(a)           the non-resident holder;

(b)           persons with whom the non-resident holder did not deal at arm's length; or

(c)           the non-resident holder and persons with whom he did not deal at arm's length,

owned not less than 25% of the issued shares of any class or series of our Company at any time during the five year period preceding the disposition. In the case of a non-resident holder to whom shares of our Company represent taxable Canadian property and who is resident in the United States, no Canadian taxes will generally be payable on a capital gain realized on such shares by reason of the Treaty unless:

(a)           the value of such shares is derived principally from real property (including resource property) situated in Canada,

(b)           the holder was resident in Canada for 120 months during any period of 20 consecutive years preceding, and at any time during the 10 years immediately preceding, the disposition and the shares were owned by him when he ceased to be a resident of Canada,

(c)           they formed part of the business property or were otherwise effectively connected with a permanent establishment or fixed base that the holder has or bad in Canada within the 12 months preceding the disposition, or

(d)           the holder is a U.S. LLC which is not subject to tax in the U.S.

If subject to Canadian tax on such a disposition, the taxpayer's capital gain (or capital loss) from a disposition is the amount by which the taxpayer's proceeds of disposition exceed (or are exceeded by) the aggregate of the taxpayer's adjusted cost base of the shares and reasonable expenses of disposition. For Canadian income tax purposes, the "taxable capital gain" is equal to one-half of the capital gain.

United States Federal Income Taxation

The following is a discussion of the material United States Federal income tax consequences, under current law, applicable to a U.S. Holder (as defined below) of our common shares who holds such shares as capital assets. This discussion does not address all potentially relevant Federal income tax matters and it does not address consequences peculiar to persons subject to special provisions of Federal income tax law, such as those described below as excluded from the definition of a U.S. Holder. In addition, this discussion does not cover any state, local, or foreign tax consequences. (See "Canadian Federal Income Tax Consequences" above).

The following discussion is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), Treasury Regulations, published Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") rulings, published administrative positions of the IRS and court decisions that are currently applicable, any or all of which could be materially and adversely changed, possibly on a retroactive basis, at any time. In addition, this discussion


- 86 -

does not consider the potential effects, both adverse and beneficial, of any recently proposed legislation which, if enacted, could be applied, possibly on a retroactive basis, at any time.

The discussion below does not address potential tax effects relevant to our Company or those tax considerations that depend upon circumstances specific to each investor. In addition, this discussion does not address the tax consequences that may be relevant to particular investors subject to special treatment under certain U.S. Federal income tax laws, such as, dealers in securities, tax-exempt entities, banks, insurance companies and non-U.S. Holders. Purchasers of the common stock should therefore satisfy themselves as to the overall tax consequences of their ownership of the common stock, including the State, local and foreign tax consequences thereof (which are not reviewed herein), and should consult their own tax advisors with respect to their particular circumstances.

U.S. Holders

As used herein, a "U.S. Holder" includes a beneficial holder of common shares of our Company who is a citizen or resident of the United States, a corporation or partnership created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or of any political subdivision thereof, any trust if a US court is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more US persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, any entity created or organized in the United States which is taxable as a corporation for U.S. tax purposes and any other person or entity whose ownership of common shares of our Company is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States. A U.S. Holder does not include persons subject to special provisions of Federal income tax law, such as tax-exempt organizations, qualified retirement plans, financial institutions, insurance companies, real estate investment trusts, regulated investment companies, broker-dealers, non-resident alien individuals or foreign corporations whose ownership of our common shares is not effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States and shareholders who acquired their shares through the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation.

Dividend Distribution on Shares of our Company

U.S. Holders receiving dividend distributions (including constructive dividends) with respect to the common shares of our Company are required to include in gross income for United States Federal income tax purposes the gross amount of such distributions to the extent that we have current or accumulated earnings and profits, without reduction for any Canadian income tax withheld from such distributions. Such Canadian tax withheld may be deducted or may be credited against actual tax payable, subject to certain limitations and other complex rules, against the U.S. Holder's United States Federal taxable income. See "Foreign Tax Credit" below. To the extent that distributions exceed our current or accumulated earnings and profits, they will be treated first as a return of capital to the extent of the shareholder's basis in the common shares of our Company and thereafter as gain from the sale or exchange of the common shares of our Company. Preferential tax rates for net long term capital gains may be applicable to a U.S. Holder which is an individual, estate or trust.

In general, dividends paid on our common shares will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction provided to corporations receiving dividends from certain United States corporations.

Foreign Tax Credit

A U.S. Holder who pays (or who has had withheld from distributions) Canadian income tax with respect to the ownership of our common shares may be entitled, at the election of the U.S. Holder, to either a deduction or a tax credit for such foreign tax paid or withheld. This election is made on a year-by-year basis and generally applies to all foreign income taxes paid by (or withheld from) the U.S. Holder during


- 87 -

that year. There are significant and complex limitations which apply to the credit, among which is the general limitation that the credit cannot exceed the proportionate share of the U.S. Holder's United States income tax liability that the U.S. Holder's foreign source income bears to his or its world-wide taxable income. In determining the application of this limitation, the various items of income and deduction must be classified into foreign and domestic sources. Complex rules govern income such as "passive income", "high withholding tax interest", "financial services income", "shipping income" and certain other classifications of income. A U.S. Holder who is treated as a domestic U.S. corporation owning 10% or more of our voting stock is also entitled to a deemed paid foreign tax credit in certain circumstances for the underlying foreign tax of our Company related to dividends received or Subpart F income received from us. (See the discussion below of Controlled Foreign Corporations). The availability of the foreign tax credit and the application of the limitations on the foreign tax credit are fact specific and holders and prospective holders of our common shares should consult their own tax advisors regarding their individual circumstances.

Disposition of Common Shares

If a "U.S. Holder" is holding shares as a capital asset, a gain or loss realized on a sale of our common shares will generally be a capital gain or loss, and will be long-term if the shareholder has a holding period of more than one year. However, gains realized upon sale of our common shares may, under certain circumstances, be treated as ordinary income, if we were determined to be a "collapsible corporation" within the meaning of Code Section 341 based on the facts in existence on the date of the sale (See below for definition of "collapsible corporation"). The amount of gain or loss recognized by a selling U.S. Holder will be measured by the difference between (i) the amount realized on the sale and (ii) his tax basis in our common shares. Capital losses are deductible only to the extent of capital gains. However, in the case of taxpayers other than corporations (U.S.)$3,000 ($1,500 for married individuals filing separately) of capital losses are deductible against ordinary income annually. In the case of individuals and other non-corporate taxpayers, capital losses that are not currently deductible may be carried forward to other years. In the case of corporations, capital losses that are not currently deductible are carried back to each of the three years preceding the loss year and forward to each of the five years succeeding the loss year.

A "collapsible corporation" is a corporation that is formed or availed principally to manufacture, construct, produce, or purchase prescribed types or property that the corporation holds for less than three years and that generally would produce ordinary income on its disposition, with a view to the stockholders selling or exchanging their stock and thus realizing gain before the corporation realizes two thirds of the taxable income to be derived from prescribed property. Prescribed property includes: stock in trade and inventory; property held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business; unrealized receivables or fees, consisting of rights to payment for non-capital assets delivered or to be delivered, or services rendered or to be rendered to the extent not previously included in income, but excluding receivables from selling property that is not prescribed; and property gain on the sale of which is subject to the capital gain/ordinary loss rule. Generally, a shareholder who owns directly or indirectly 5 percent or less of the outstanding stock of the corporation may treat gain on the sale of his shares as capital gain.

Other Considerations for U.S. Holders

In the following circumstances, the above sections of this discussion may not describe the United States Federal income tax consequences resulting from the holding and disposition of common shares of the Registrant. Our management is of the opinion that there is little, if not, any likelihood that we will be deemed a "Foreign Personal Holding Company", a "Foreign Investment Company" or a "Controlled Foreign Corporation" (each as defined below) under current and anticipated conditions.


- 88 -

Foreign Personal Holding Company

If at any time during a taxable year more than 50% of the total combined voting power or the total value of our outstanding shares is owned, actually or constructively, by five or fewer individuals who are citizens or residents of the United States and 60% or more of our gross income for such year was derived from certain passive sources (e.g., from dividends received from its subsidiaries), we would be treated as a "foreign personal holding company". In that event, U.S. Holders that hold common shares in our capital would be required to include in income for such year their allocable portion of our passive income which would have been treated as a dividend had that passive income actually been distributed.

Foreign Investment Company

If 50% or more of the combined voting power or total value of our outstanding shares are held, actually or constructively, by citizens or residents of the United States, United States domestic partnerships or corporations, or estates or trusts other than foreign estates or trusts (as defined by the Code Section 7701(a)(31)), and we are found to be engaged primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting, or trading in securities, commodities, or any interest therein, it is possible that we might be treated as a "foreign investment company" as defined in Section 1246 of the Code, causing all or part of any gain realized by a U.S. Holder selling or exchanging our common shares to be treated as ordinary income rather than capital gains.

Passive Foreign Investment Company

A U.S. Holder who holds stock in a foreign corporation during any year in which such corporation qualifies as a passive foreign investment company ("PFIC") is subject to U.S. federal income taxation of that foreign corporation under one of two alternative tax methods at the election of each such U.S. Holder.

Section 1297 of the Code defines a PFIC as a corporation that is not formed in the United States and, for any taxable year, either (i) 75% or more of its gross income is "passive income," which includes interest, dividends and certain rents and royalties or (ii) the average percentage, by value (or, if the company is a controlled foreign corporation or makes an election, adjusted tax basis), of its assets that produce or are held for the production of "passive income" is 50% or more. For taxable years of U.S. persons beginning after December 31, 1997, and for tax years of foreign corporations ending with or within such tax years, the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 provides that publicly traded corporations must apply this test on a fair market value basis only. The Registrant believes that it is a PFIC.

As a PFIC, each U.S. Holder must determine under which of the alternative tax methods it wishes to be taxed. Under one method, a U.S. Holder who elects in a timely manner to treat the Registrant as a Qualified Electing Fund ("QEF"), as defined in the Code, (an "Electing U.S. Holder") will be subject, under Section 1293 of the Code, to current federal income tax for any taxable year in which we qualify as a PFIC on his pro-rata share of our (i) "net capital gain" (the excess of net long-term capital gain over net short-term capital loss), which will be taxed as long-term capital gain to the Electing U.S. Holder and (ii) "ordinary earnings" (the excess of earnings and profits over net capital gain), which will be taxed as ordinary income to the Electing U.S. Holder, in each case, for the U.S. Holder's taxable year in which (or with which) our taxable year ends, regardless of whether such amounts are actually distributed. Such an election, once made shall apply to all subsequent years unless revoked with the consent of the IRS.

A QEF election also allows the Electing U.S. Holder to (i) generally treat any gain realized on the disposition of his common shares (or deemed to be realized on the pledge of his common shares) as capital gain; (ii) treat his share of our net capital gain, if any, as long-term capital gain instead of ordinary income, and (iii) either avoid interest charges resulting from PFIC status altogether (see discussion of


- 89 -

interest charge below), or make an annual election, subject to certain limitations, to defer payment of current taxes on his share of our annual realized net capital gain and ordinary earnings subject, however, to an interest charge. If the Electing U.S. Holder is an individual, such an interest charge would be not deductible.

The procedure a U.S. Holder must comply with in making an timely QEF election will depend on whether the year of the election is the first year in the U.S. Holder's holding period in which we are a PFIC. If the U.S. Holder makes a QEF election in such first year, (sometimes referred to as a "Pedigreed QEF Election"), then the U.S. Holder may make the QEF election by simply filing the appropriate documents at the time the U.S. Holder files its tax return for such first year. If, however, we qualified as a PFIC in a prior year, then the U.S. Holder may make an "Unpedigreed QEF Election" by recognizing as an "excess distribution" (i) under the rules of Section 1291 (discussed below), any gain that he would otherwise recognize if the U.S. Holder sold his stock on the qualification date (Deemed Sale Election) or (ii) if we are a controlled foreign corporation ("CFC"), the Holder's pro rata share of the corporation's earnings and profits (Deemed Dividend Election) (But see "Elimination of Overlap Between Subpart F Rules and PFIC Provisions"). The effect of either the deemed sale election or the deemed dividend election is to pay all prior deferred tax, to pay interest on the tax deferral and to be treated thereafter as a Pedigreed QEF as discussed in the prior paragraph. With respect to a situation in which a Pedigreed QEF election is made, if we no longer qualify as a PFIC in a subsequent year, normal Code rules and not the PFIC rules will apply.

If a U.S. Holder has not made a QEF Election at any time (a "Non-electing U.S. Holder"), then special taxation rules under Section 1291 of the Code will apply to (i) gains realized on the disposition (or deemed to be realized by reason of a pledge) of his common shares and (ii) certain "excess distributions", as specially defined, by our Company. An "excess distribution" is any current-year distribution in respect of PFIC stock that represents a rateable portion of the total distributions in respect of the stock during the year that exceed 125 percent of the average amount of distributions in respect of the stock during the three preceding years.

A Non-electing U.S. Holder generally would be required to pro-rate all gains realized on the disposition of his common shares and all excess distributions over the entire holding period for the common shares. All gains or excess distributions allocated to prior years of the U.S. Holder (other than years prior to our first taxable year during such U.S. Holder's holding period and beginning after January, 1987 for which it was a PFIC) would be taxed at the highest tax rate for each such prior year applicable to ordinary income. The Non-electing U.S. Holder also would be liable for interest on the deferred tax liability for each such prior year calculated as if such liability had been due with respect to each such prior year. A Non-electing U.S. Holder that is an individual is not allowed a deduction for interest on the deferred tax liability. The portions of gains and distributions that are not characterized as "excess distributions" are subject to tax in the current year under the normal tax rules of the Internal Revenue Code.

If we are a PFIC for any taxable year during which a Non-electing U.S. Holder holds common shares, then we will continue to be treated as a PFIC with respect to such common Shares, even if it is no longer by definition a PFIC. A Non-electing U.S. Holder may terminate this deemed PFIC status by electing to recognize gain (which will be taxed under the rules discussed above for Non-Electing U.S. Holders) as if such common shares had been sold on the last day of the last taxable year for which it was a PFIC.

Under Section 1291(f) of the Code, the Department of the Treasury has issued proposed regulations that would treat as taxable certain transfers of PFIC stock by Non-electing U.S. Holders that are generally not otherwise taxed, such as gifts, exchanges pursuant to corporate reorganizations, and transfers at death. If a U.S. Holder makes a QEF Election that is not a Pedigreed Election (i.e., it is made after the first year during which we are a PFIC and the U.S. Holder holds our shares) (a "Unpedigreed Election"), the QEF


- 90 -

rules apply prospectively but do not apply to years prior to the year in which the QEF first becomes effective. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the specific consequences of making a Non-Pedigreed QEF Election.

Certain special, generally adverse, rules will apply with respect to the common shares while we are a PFIC whether or not it is treated as a QEF. For example under Section 1297(b)(6) of the Code (as in effect prior to the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997), a U.S. Holder who uses PFIC stock as security for a loan (including a margin loan) will, except as may be provided in regulations, be treated as having made a taxable disposition of such stock.

The foregoing discussion is based on currently effective provisions of the Code, existing and proposed regulations thereunder, and current administrative rulings and court decisions, all of which are subject to change. Any such change could affect the validity of this discussion. In addition, the implementation of certain aspects of the PFIC rules requires the issuance of regulations which in many instances have not been promulgated and which may have retroactive effect. There can be no assurance that any of these proposals will be enacted or promulgated, and if so, the form they will take or the effect that they may have on this discussion. Accordingly, and due to the complexity of the PFIC rules, U.S. Holders of the Registrant are strongly urged to consult their own tax advisors concerning the impact of these rules on their investment in our Company. For a discussion of the impact of the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 on a U.S. Holder of a PFIC, see "Mark-to-Market Election For PFIC Stock Under the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997" and "Elimination of Overlap Between Subpart F Rules and PFIC Provisions" below.

Mark-to-Market Election for PFIC Stock Under the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997

The Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 provides that a U.S. Holder of a PFIC may make a mark-to-market election with respect to the stock of the PFIC if such stock is marketable as defined below. This provision is designed to provide a current inclusion provision for persons that are Non-Electing Holders. Under the election, any excess of the fair market value of the PFIC stock at the close of the tax year over the Holder's adjusted basis in the stock is included in the Holder's income. The Holder may deduct any excess of the adjusted basis of the PFIC stock over its fair market value at the close of the tax year. However, deductions are limited to the net mark-to-market gains on the stock that the Holder included in income in prior tax years, or so called "unreversed inclusions". For purposes of the election, PFIC stock is marketable if it is regularly traded on (1) a national securities exchange that is registered with the SEC, (2) the national market system established under Section II A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or (3) an exchange or market that the IRS determines has rules sufficient to ensure that the market price represents legitimate and sound fair market value.

A Holder's adjusted basis of PFIC stock is increased by the income recognized under the mark-to-market election and decreased by the deductions allowed under the election. If a U.S. Holder owns PFIC stock indirectly through a foreign entity, the basis adjustments apply to the basis of the PFIC stock in the hands of the foreign entity for the purpose of applying the PFIC rules to the tax treatment of the U.S. owner. Similar basis adjustments are made to the basis of the property through which the U.S. persons hold the PFIC stock.

Income recognized under the mark-to-market election and gain on the sale of PFIC stock with respect to which an election is made is treated as ordinary income. Deductions allowed under the election and loss on the sale of PFIC with respect to which an election is made, to the extent that the amount of loss does not exceed the net mark-to-market gains previously included, are treated as ordinary losses. The U.S. or foreign source of any income or losses is determined as if the amount were a gain or loss from the sale of stock in the PFIC.


- 91 -

If PFIC stock is owned by a CFC (discussed below), the CFC is treated as a U.S. person that may make the mark-to-market election. Amounts includible in the CFC's income under the election are treated as foreign personal holding company income, and deductions are allocable to foreign personal holding company income.

The above provisions apply to tax years of U.S. persons beginning after December 31, 1997, and to tax years of foreign corporations ending with or within such tax years of U.S. persons.

The rules of Code Section 1291 applicable to non-qualified funds as discussed above generally do not apply to a U.S. Holder for tax years for which a mark-to-market election is in effect. If Code Section 1291 is applied and a mark-to-market election was in effect for any prior tax year, the U.S. Holder's holding period for the PFIC stock is treated as beginning immediately after the last tax year of the election. However, if a taxpayer makes a mark-to-market election for PFIC stock that is a non-qualified fund after the beginning of a taxpayer's holding period for such stock, a co-ordination rule applies to ensure that the taxpayer does not avoid the interest charge with respect to amounts attributable to periods before the election.

Controlled Foreign Corporation Status

If more than 50% of the voting power of all classes of stock or the total value of the stock of our Company is owned, directly or indirectly, by U.S. Holders, each of whom own after applying rules of attribution 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of our Company, we would be treated as a "controlled foreign corporation" or "CFC" under Subpart F of the Code. This classification would bring into effect many complex results including the required inclusion by such 10% U.S. Holders in income of their pro rata shares of "Subpart F income" (as defined by the Code) of our Company and our earnings invested in "U.S. property" (as defined by Section 956 of the Code). In addition, under Section 1248 of the Code if we are considered a CFC at any time during the five year period ending with the sale or exchange of its stock, gain from the sale or exchange of common shares of our Company by such a 10% U.S. Holder of our common stock at any time during the five year period ending with the sale or exchange is treated as ordinary dividend income to the extent of our earnings and profits attributable to the stock sold or exchanged. Because of the complexity of Subpart F, and because we may never be a CFC, a more detailed review of these rules is beyond of the scope of this discussion.

Elimination of Overlap Between Subpart F Rules and PFIC Provisions

Under the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997, a PFIC that is also a CFC will not be treated as a PFIC with respect to certain 10% U.S. Holders. For the exception to apply, (i) the corporation must be a CFC within the meaning of section 957(a) of the Code and (ii) the U.S. Holder must be subject to the current inclusion rules of Subpart F with respect to such corporation (i.e., the U.S. Holder is a "United States Shareholder," see "Controlled Foreign Corporation," above). The exception only applies to that portion of a U.S. Holder's holding period beginning after December 31, 1997. For that portion of a United States Holder before January 1, 1998, the ordinary PFIC and QEF rules continue to apply.

As a result of this new provision, if we were ever to become a CFC, U.S. Holders who are currently taxed on their pro rata shares of Subpart F income of a PFIC which is also a CFC will not be subject to the PFIC provisions with respect to the same stock if they have previously made a Pedigreed QEF Election. The PFIC provisions will however continue to apply to U.S Holders for any periods in which Subpart F does not apply (for example he is no longer a 10% Holder or we are no longer a CFC) and to U.S. Holders that did not make a Pedigreed QEF Election unless the U.S. Holder elects to recognize gain on the PFIC shares held in our Company as if those shares had been sold.

I.           Subsidiary Information

As at the date of this annual report, we have five wholly-owned subsidiaries: (i) Minera Mexicana el Rosario, S.A. de C.V.; (ii) New Age Investments Inc.; (iii) Metalicos de Durango, S.A. de C.V.; (iv) Minera de Villa Seca, S.A. de C.V.; and (v) Minera Exploraciones El Rosario, S.A. de C.V. The latter company was incorporated subsequent to December 31, 2006 and is responsible for the exploration and further development of the Company’s mineral properties.

ITEM 11           Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Some of our property exploration requirements and expenditures are either due in United States currency or Mexican currency. As a Canadian company, however, the reporting and functional currency of our Company and our subsidiaries is the Canadian dollar. Therefore, we may become exposed to some exchange rate risk. We consider the amount of risk to be manageable and do not currently, nor will we likely in the foreseeable future, conduct hedging to reduce our exchange rate risk.

At December 31, 2006, the Company has not entered into any derivatives or other financial instruments to mitigate the risk of foreign currency fluctuations.

ITEM 15           Controls and Procedures

The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are responsible for establishing and maintaining the Company's disclosure controls and procedures to provide reasonable assurance that all relevant information is gathered and reported to them on a timely basis so that the appropriate decisions can be made regarding public disclosures.

The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures have concluded that, as at December 31, 2006, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not fully effective, due to material weaknesses in the Company's internal control over financial reporting described below under "Internal Control over Financial Reporting".

Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are responsible for establishing and maintaining internal control over financial reporting, and have designed internal control over financial reporting or caused internal control over financial reporting to be designed under their supervision in order to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the financial statements for external purposes in accordance to Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), including a reconciliation to United States GAAP.

Due to its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect material misstatements. 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 the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have commenced the evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, pursuant to the requirements of Multilateral Instrument 52-109 and Rule 13a-15 under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In making its assessment of internal control over financial reporting, management used the criteria issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.

Management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2006, material weaknesses existed in the Company's internal control over financial reporting. An internal control material weakness is a significant deficiency, or aggregation of deficiencies, that does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that material misstatements in financial statements will be prevented or detected on a timely basis by employees in the normal course of their work. Management has concluded that material weaknesses existed in the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as at December 31, 2006 resulting in a lack of accuracy and timely submission of financial reporting from its Mexican operations, including a lack of timely and accurate reconciliations of certain balance sheet items. Management has determined that the material weakness was caused by personnel constraints within the Company, evidenced by insufficient supervision by management. Such material weakness could result in a failure to detect breakdowns in the effective operation of underlying controls and could result in material misstatements in the financial statements.


- 94 -

In addition, management has also concluded that, as of December 31, 2006, a material weakness also existed in the Company’s segregation of duties within the accounting and financing department. Certain duties within the accounting and finance departments were not properly segregated due to the limited number of individuals employed in this area. In addition, authorization of routine and top-side journal entries was identified as a weakness within the Company’s accounting and finance departments. None of the segregation of duty authorization or authorization deficiencies has resulted in a misstatement to the financial statements. These deficiencies however, may be considered a material weakness resulting in a more than remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements would not be prevented or detected.

In the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer ensured additional procedures were undertaken to compensate for the weaknesses described above.

Management has concluded that it needs to assign specific control monitoring responsibilities among senior executives to correct this material weakness and build capacity of its staff in its operations. Management plans to recruit and train staff so as to remedy the above noted material weakness.

The Company is not a "large accelerated filer" as defined in the rules promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, this management internal control report is not accompanied by an attestation report of the Company's auditors.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

No changes were made in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during 2006 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 16           Reserved

ITEM 16A        Audit Committee Financial Expert

Our board of directors has determined that one member of our Company's audit committee, Mr. John T. Kopcheff, possesses the educational and professional qualifications as well as the experience to qualify as an "audit committee financial expert" as defined in Item 401(e) of Regulation S-B. The disclosure regarding Mr. Kopcheff in Item 6A is hereby incorporated by reference. Mr. Kopcheff is "independent" as that term is used in Item 7(d)(3)(iv) of Schedule 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In addition, we believe that the other members of our board of directors are collectively capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting.

ITEM 16B        Code of Ethics

Code of Ethics

Effective June 30, 2005, our Company's Board of Directors adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to, among other persons, our Company's President and Chief Executive Officer (being our principal executive officer) and our Company's Chairman and Chief Financial Officer (being our principal financial and accounting officer), as well as persons performing similar functions. As adopted, our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics sets forth written standards that are designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:


- 95 -

(1) honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;

(2) full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that we file with, or submit to, the Securities and Exchange Commission and in other public communications made by us;

(3) compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;

(4) the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics; and

(5) accountability for adherence to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.

Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics requires, among other things, that all of our Company's personnel shall be accorded full access to our president and secretary with respect to any matter which may arise relating to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. Further, all of our Company's personnel are to be accorded full access to our Company's board of directors if any such matter involves an alleged breach of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics by our president or secretary.

In addition, our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics emphasizes that all employees, and particularly managers and/or supervisors, have a responsibility for maintaining financial integrity within our Company, consistent with generally accepted accounting principles, and federal, provincial and state securities laws. Any employee who becomes aware of any incidents involving financial or accounting manipulation or other irregularities, whether by witnessing the incident or being told of it, must report it to his or her immediate supervisor or to our Company's President or Secretary. If the incident involves an alleged breach of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics by the President or Secretary, the incident must be reported to any member of our Board of Directors. Any failure to report such inappropriate or irregular conduct of others is to be treated as a severe disciplinary matter. It is against our Company policy to retaliate against any individual who reports in good faith the violation or potential violation of our Company's Code of Business Conduct and Ethics by another.

All Other Fees

The aggregate fees billed by KPMG LLP, Chartered Accountants, for other non-audit professional services, other than those services listed above, were $nil for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $18,200 for the year ended December 31, 2005, and $21,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004.

Effective May 6, 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted rules that require that before KPMG LLP, Chartered Accountants, is engaged by us or our subsidiaries to render any auditing or permitted non-audit related service, the engagement be:

- Approved by our audit committee; or
   

-

Entered into pursuant to pre-approval policies and procedures established by the audit committee, provided the policies and procedures are detailed as to the particular service, the audit committee is informed of each service, and such policies and procedures do not include delegation of the audit committee's responsibilities to management.

The audit committee pre-approves all services provided by our independent auditors. All of the above services and fees were reviewed and pre-approved by the audit committee.

The audit committee has considered the nature and amount of the fees billed by KPMG LLP, Chartered Accountants, and believes that the provision of the services for activities unrelated to the audit is compatible with maintaining KPMG LLP, Chartered Accountants, independence.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Directors of Great Panther Resources Limited

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Great Panther Resources Limited as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 and the consolidated statements of operations and deficit and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2006. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our audit opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Great Panther Resources Limited as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2006 in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses and operating cash flow deficiencies that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Canadian generally accepted accounting principles vary in certain significant respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Information relating to the nature and effect of such measurement differences is presented in note 13 to the consolidated financial statements.

GREAT PANTHER RESOURCES LIMITED
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(Expressed in Canadian dollars)
 
Years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004
 

1.

Nature of continuing operations:

     

Great Panther Resources Limited (the Company) was continued under the Business Corporations Act (Yukon) on March 22, 1996 and continued under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) on July 9, 2004. On October 2, 2003, the Company changed its name from Great Panther Inc. to Great Panther Resources Limited and the common shares were consolidated whereby every ten common shares before consolidation became one common share after consolidation.

     

The Company is in the business of acquisition, production, development and exploration of mineral properties in Mexico. Of the properties in which the Company has an interest, the Topia and Guanajuato mines were in production at the balance sheet date. The Company’s other mineral property interests are in the exploration stage and it has not yet been determined as to whether these properties contain ore reserves that are economically viable. The underlying value and the recoverability of amounts shown for exploration stage properties is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable mineral resources, the ability of the company to obtain financing necessary to complete exploration and development of the mineral property interest and future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition of mineral property interests.

     

During the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company incurred losses of approximately $15,084,000 and $5,232,000, respectively, and used cash in operations of approximately $11,433,000 and $5,379,000, respectively. As at December 31, 2006, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $24,927,000 and a working capital balance of $12,533,156.

     

Notwithstanding these continuing losses and operating cash flow deficiencies, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management on a going concern basis in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles. The going concern basis of presentation assumes that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and settle its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

     

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and to realize on its assets and discharge its liabilities when due in the normal course of business is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable mineral reserves and the ability to raise adequate financing from lenders, shareholders and other investors to support its business activities. Management plans to raise funds through equity financings if additional funds are required in the next fiscal year. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

     
2.

Significant accounting policies:

     
(a)

Basis of presentation:

     

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, New Age Investments Inc., Minera Mexicana el Rosario, S.A. de C.V., Metalicos de Durango, S.A. de C.V. and Minera de Villa Seca, S.A. de C.V. Significant inter-company balances and transactions are eliminated on consolidation.

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions which affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates relate to the assessment for impairment and useful life of mineral properties, plant and equipment, valuation of amounts receivable and future income tax assets, assumptions used in determining the fair value of non-cash stock-based compensation and the fair value assigned to the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed on acquisition. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved with making such estimates, actual results reported in future years could differ from these estimates.

   
(c)

Cash and cash equivalents:

   

Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and have maturity dates of three months or less from the date of purchase.

   
(d)

Short-term investments:

   

Short-term investments include investments in marketable securities which are recorded at lower of cost and market.

   
(e)

Inventory:

   

Inventory consists of concentrate inventories which are valued at the lower of average cost and net realizable value. Costs include all direct costs incurred in production, including mining, crushing and mill processing costs and an allocation of overhead and general and administrative costs. Supplies inventory, which includes the cost of consumables used in operations, such as fuel, grinding media, chemicals and spare parts, are stated at the lower of average costs and replacement costs.

Significant accounting policies (continued):

   
(f)

Mineral properties, plant and equipment and change in accounting policy:

   

The Company’s policy is to expense, as incurred, exploration expenditures, periodic option payments related to mineral properties and administrative and land use costs incurred prior to commercial feasibility of mining operations being established. Mineral property acquisition expenditures are capitalized.

   

Mineral property sales proceeds or option payments received for exploration rights are treated as cost recoveries. Mineral property acquisition costs include the cash consideration and the fair value of common shares issued for mineral property interests, pursuant to the terms of the relevant agreement. Costs related to the acquisition of property and mineral rights, equipment, construction of production facilities and the development and betterment of mine infrastructure and equipment are capitalized. Costs of permitting, evaluation and feasibility are capitalized upon completion of an analysis which demonstrates the economic viability of the mineral deposit.

   

Once commercial production has commenced, production facilities and equipment, stated at cost, are depreciated using the straight-line method or units-of-production method, if sufficient reserve information is available, over their estimated useful lives, not to exceed the life of the mine to which the assets relate. As at December 31, 2006, the Company did not have a reliable estimate of reserves and therefore did not use units-of-productions method.

   

Vehicles and office equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. When assets are retired or sold, the costs and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations.

   
(g)

Office equipment:

   

Equipment is recorded at cost. Amortization of computer equipment is provided at 30% per annum on the declining balance basis and approximately 3 years on a straight-line basis at a subsidiary operation. Amortization of all other office equipment is provided at 20% per annum on the declining balance basis for the office equipment of the parent and 10 years on a straight-line basis for office equipment at its subsidiaries.

Significant accounting policies (continued):

   
(h)

Impairment of long-lived assets:

   

The Company reviews and evaluates its long-lived assets, including mineral properties, plant and equipment, for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to its estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. Measurement of an impairment loss is based on the excess of the estimated fair value of the asset over its carrying value.

   

At each reporting period and whenever events or circumstances indicate that an asset's fair value may not be at least equal to its carrying value, management of the Company reviews the net carrying value. These reviews involve consideration of the fair value of each property to determine whether a permanent impairment in value has occurred and whether any asset write down is necessary. The Company considers metals prices, cost of production, proven and probable reserves and salvage value of the property and equipment in its valuation.

   

Management's estimates are subject to risks and uncertainties of changes affecting the recoverability of the Company's investment in its mineral property, plant, equipment and mine development. Management's estimates of these factors are based on current conditions. Nonetheless, it is reasonably possible that in the near term, changes that could adversely affect management's estimate of net cash flows expected to be generated from its properties could occur. This would necessitate a write down for asset impairment.

   
(i)

Stock-based compensation:

   

The Company accounts for stock-based payments granted to non-employees after January 1, 2002 and employees after January 1, 2003 using the fair value based method. Under the fair value based method, compensation cost is measured at the fair value as the awards are earned and services performed and charged to operations over the service period which normally is the period during which the options vest.

   
(j)

Revenue recognition:

   

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of concentrates based on the market metal prices and mineral content when title to the concentrates transfers to the customer, which generally occurs on the date of shipment. Revenue is recorded in the consolidated statement of operations gross of treatment and refining costs paid to counter parties under terms of the off take arrangements. Revenue from the sale of the concentrates is subject to adjustment upon final settlement based upon metal prices, weights and assays. Adjustments to revenue for metal prices are recorded monthly and any other adjustments are recorded on final settlement.

(k)

Reclamation and remediation:

   

The Company's mining and exploration activities are subject to various laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. The Company recognizes the fair value of future reclamation and remediation as a liability in the period in which it incurs a legal obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that results from the acquisition, construction, development, and/or normal use of the asset, if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The liability is measured initially at fair value and the resulting cost capitalized into the carrying value of the related assets. In subsequent periods, the liability is adjusted for accretion of the discount and any change in the amount or timing of the underlying cash flows. The asset retirement cost is depreciated over the remaining life of the assets.

It is reasonably possible that the ultimate cost of remediation and reclamation could change in the future due to uncertainties associated with defining the nature and extent of environmental contamination, the application of laws and regulations by regulatory authorities and changes in remediation technology. The Company continually reviews its accrued liabilities, if any, as evidence becomes available indicating that its remediation and reclamation liabilities may have changed. Any such increases in costs could materially impact the future amounts charged to operations for reclamation and remediation obligations.

   
(l)

Foreign currency translation:

   

The functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is the Canadian dollar.

   

Monetary items denominated in a foreign currency are translated to Canadian dollars at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and non-monetary items are translated at rates of exchange in effect when the assets were acquired or obligations incurred. Revenues and expenses are translated at rates in effect at the time of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses are included in income.

   
(m)

Income taxes:

   

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, future income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial statement carrying values of existing assets and liabilities and their respective income tax bases (temporary differences), and tax loss carry forwards. Future income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantively enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences are likely to be recovered or settled. The effect on future income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is included in operations in the period in which the change is substantively enacted. The amount of future income tax assets recognized is limited to the amount that is, in management’s estimation, more likely than not to be realized.

Loss per share:

     

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the weighted average shares outstanding are increased to include additional shares from the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants, if dilutive. The number of additional shares is calculated by assuming that outstanding stock options or warrants were exercised and that the proceeds from such exercises were used to acquire shares of common stock at the average market price during the reporting period. Diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share because the effect on the basic loss per share of outstanding options and warrants is anti-dilutive.

Comparative figures:

     

Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation.

The Company, through its Mexican subsidiaries, pays value added tax on the purchase and sale of goods and services at a rate of 15%. The net amount paid or payable is recoverable, but such recovery is subject to review and assessment by local tax authorities. The Company has made a provision for any amounts which may not be recoverable.

Acquisitions:


(a)

Topia Mine:

     

On June 30, 2005, the Company purchased 100% of the ownership rights in and to all the fixed assets, machinery, equipment and Topia Mining Concessions pursuant to the Topia Purchase Agreement located in the Municipality of Topia, State of Durango, Mexico.

     

In consideration for the rights outlined in the Topia Purchase Agreement, the Company initiated payments totaling US$2,551,678 as follows:

     
(i)

US$100,000 upon registration of the option agreement and expensed as mineral exploration costs;

     
(ii)

US$150,000 upon notification to option or of the Company’s decision to exercise the option to purchase the rights and the assets of the mine, and US$540,165 (paid) on the date of the formal signing of the purchase agreement totaling CAD$851,721;

Topia Mine (continued):

       
(iii)

three annual payments of US$300,000 (paid), US$300,000 and US$346,919 each on the first, second and third year, respectively, commencing 18 months after the date of the agreement; and

       
(iv)

the Company has also agreed to assume the debt currently encumbering the property, totaling US$814,594 (US$325,527 paid upon signing of the purchase agreement). The debt is repayable out of production from concentrate sales as a 10% Net Smelter Return.

The net present value of the Company’s post acquisition payment requirements pursuant to the Topia Purchase Agreement and assumed debt has been determined by discounting the face value of the US$1,761,493 (CAD$2,158,534) at the Company’s estimated current borrowing cost to the date of acquisition, to equal $1,430,937. The carrying value of this liability of $1,323,741 (note 7(a)) at December 31, 2006 is being accreted to its face value over a period of up to two years.

The acquisition was accounted for as an asset acquisition. The following table summarizes the fair value of consideration given and the estimate fair value of assets acquired as at the acquisition date:

  Assets acquired:      
           Plant $  1,730,573  
           Mineral properties   269,516  
           Offices and mobile equipment   319,253  
         
    $  2,319,342

           Cash and direct costs of acquisition $  888,405  
           Debt   1,430,937  
         
    $  2,319,342  

 

The Company incurred mineral exploration expenditures on mineral property included in the Topia Mine Project both prior and subsequent to the acquisition transaction (note 6).

     
  (b)

Guanajuato Mine:

     
 

On October 25, 2005, the Company purchased a 100% ownership interest in a group of producing silver- gold mines in Guanajuato, Mexico which includes 2 main properties, a plant, workshops and administration facilities, mining infrastructure, equipment, and certain surface rights (real estate). The total purchase price was US$7,250,000 (paid) consisted of staged cash payments to the end of 2006. The cash paid and direct acquisition costs incurred at the acquisition date totaled $4,428,416. The payments had been discounted at the Company estimated current borrowing rate to the date of acquisition, which net present value equals $3,918,747. As at December 31, 2006, no remaining obligations remained.

     
 

The acquisition was accounted for as an asset purchase. The following table summarizes the fair value of consideration given and the estimated fair value of assets acquired at the acquisition date:

    $  8,347,163  

 

The Company incurred mineral exploration expenditures on mineral properties included in the Guanajuato Mine Project both prior and subsequent to the acquisition transaction (note 6).

     
 

Legal proceedings exist in which The Sociedad Cooperativa Minero Metalúrgica Santa Fe de Guanajuato (the Cooperativa), Minera Mexicana el Rosario, S.A. de C.V. (MMR) and one of MMR’s officers have been named as defendants in a lawsuit filed by several members of the Cooperativa. The lawsuit alleges that the sale of the Guanajuato mine assets should be nullified on the basis that the proceedings leading to the approval of the sale did not meet specific requirements as set out in the bylaws of the Cooperativa. The claimants are also seeking unspecified damages, lost profits and payment of expenses and lawyers fees.

     
 

The Company’s legal representatives have reviewed the basis of their claim and have concluded that the sale of the assets by the Cooperativa to MMR met the requirements set out by the bylaws of the Cooperativa and, as such, management believes the lawsuit is without merit.

     
  (c)

Arcoiris Concession:

     
 

On March 8, 2006, the Company purchased a 100% interest in the Arcoiris concession. The agreement requires cash payments of US$20,000 (paid) upon signing of the purchase agreement and additional staggered payments totaling US$280,000 (US$80,000 paid). The Arcoiris concession is a strategic claim that is contiguous with the existing Topia Mine Property. The 100 hectare concession contains portions of the strike extension and down-dip projection of the Dos Amigos Vein that the Company has already started developing on its own ground.

     
  (d)

Fundiciones Property:

     
 

On May 15, 2006, the Company purchased a 100% interest in the Fundiciones property. The agreement requires cash payments of Pesos$2,250,000 (CAD$222,300) (paid) upon signing of the purchase agreement and an additional payment of Pesos$5,447,029 (CAD$538,166) (paid). The additional 3.88 hectares of real estate is adjacent to the existing plant at Guanajuato and the purchase will facilitate any future expansion of the plant facilities.

    $  17,263,069   $  12,638,675  

  (i)

After acquisition of the Topia Mine and Guanajuato Mine in fiscal year 2005 (note 4(a) and 4(b), the Company incurred plant rehabilitation expenditures of $539,519 and $160,444, and acquired mine equipment of $126,755 and $25,937, respectively, which have been capitalized to plant and equipment in 2005. Plant facilities, building and plant rehabilitation expenditures were not amortized in 2005 as the plants were not in service in 2005 to allow for plant maintenance and upgrading subsequent to their acquisition.

     
  (ii)

During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company elected to discontinue exploration of the San Taco property. The fair value of the property as at December 31, 2005 was determined to be nil and as a result, the carrying value of $403,634 was written off in 2005 resulting in the recovery of future income taxes of $102,813.

The Company’s asset retirement obligation relate to site-restoration and clean-up costs related to its Topia and Guanajuato mines.

     

A reconciliation of the provision for asset retirement obligations is as follows:


      2006     2005  
               
               
  Beginning balance - January 1, 2006 $  -   $  -

           Accretion expense   -     -  
               
    $  92,285   $  -  

 

The provision for asset retirement obligations are based upon the following assumptions:

     
 

• The total undiscounted cash flow required to settle the obligation is approximately US$175,000;

     
    • Asset retirement obligation payments are expected to occur during fiscal year 2011; and
     
    • A credit adjusted risk-free rate of 26.8% has been used to discount cash flows.
     
  (iv)

The Company’s subsidiary, Minera de Villa Seca, S.A. de C.V., is being reviewed by the Social Security Institution primarily for fees which it views may be owing by a contractor of the Company during the period March to October 2006. The Company has determined that it is not possible to assess the outcome of this review, but the Company does not expect that the outcome will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position.

Stock options and warrants:

     
 

The Company, in accordance with the policies of the Toronto Stock Exchange (the Exchange), is authorized to grant incentive stock options (options) to officers, directors, employees and consultants. The Exchange policies permit the Company’s directors to grant options for the purchase of shares of the Company to qualified persons as incentive for their services. Pursuant to the Company’s 2003 Incentive Stock Option Plan, options must be non-transferable and may not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company at the time of granting and may not exceed 5% of the outstanding common shares to any individual (maximum of 2% to any consultant) in any 12-month period. The exercise price of options is determined by the board of directors by reference to the market value of the shares at the date of grant. Options have expiry dates of no longer than five years from the date of grant and terminate 30 days following the termination of the participant’s employment. Vesting of options is generally at the time of grant.

Financial instruments:


  (a)

Fair value:

     
 

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, amounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and income taxes payable approximate their fair value due to the short- term nature of the items. The fair value of long-term debt to third parties approximate their carrying value as their term reflect estimated market terms at December 31, 2006.

     
 

In evaluating the fair value information, considerable judgment is required to interpret the market data used to develop the estimates. The use of different market assumptions and/or different valuation techniques may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. Accordingly, the estimates of fair value presented herein may not be indicative of the amounts that could be realized in a current market exchange.

Financial instruments (continued):

   
(b)

Foreign currency and interest rate risk:

   

The Company currently has foreign operations, which gives rise to a risk that earnings and cash flows may be negatively impacted by fluctuations in interest and foreign exchange rates. To the date of these financial statements, the Company has not entered into foreign currency hedging arrangements of instruments to fix interest rates.

   
(c)

Concentration of credit risk and business concentrations:

   

The Company earns substantially all of its revenue from one customer.

   

To reduce credit risk, management performs ongoing evaluations and maintains reserves for potential credit losses.

   

The Company operates in one segment, being the exploration and development of mineral properties. Substantially all mineral properties, plant and equipment is located in Mexico. The remaining office equipment is located in Canada.

   
12.

Subsequent events:

   

Subsequent to December 31, 2006 the Company received proceeds of $798,312 from the exercise of 807,014 warrants and 112,500 options.

Reconciliation between Canadian and United States generally accepted accounting principles:

   

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (Canadian GAAP). A description of US GAAP and practices prescribed by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (collectively US GAAP) that result in material measurement differences from Canadian GAAP are as follows:

   
(a)

Income taxes:

   

As described in note 2(m), the Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes which is also in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Board No. 109 Accounting for Income Taxes (SFAS 109). Under Canadian GAAP, future tax assets and liabilities are recorded at substantially enacted tax rates. Under US GAAP, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded at enacted tax rates. For each of the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, net future tax assets are fully offset by a valuation allowance as it is not more likely than not that the future tax assets would be realized. As a result, the application of US GAAP in accounting for income taxes does not result in any material measurement differences from Canadian GAAP for future tax assets.

   
(b)

Stock-based compensation:

   

The Company adopted the new recommendations of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants with respect to the accounting for stock-based compensation on January 1, 2002 as described in note 2(i). Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Board No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS 123) became effective for US GAAP purposes for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995.

Reconciliation between Canadian and United States generally accepted accounting principles (continued):

   
(b)

Stock-based compensation (continued):

   

For fiscal years ending prior to December 31, 2003, as allowed by SFAS 123, the Company followed the intrinsic value principles of APB Opinion 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and related interpretations, in measuring compensation expense for employee options. Under the intrinsic value method, compensation cost is the excess, if any, of the quoted market value of the stock at the measurement date, which is generally the grant date, over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. The application of APB 25 resulted in compensation expense of $15,000 being recognized for employees in the year ended December 31, 2001 under US GAAP and no similar expense was required under Canadian GAAP. Effective January 1, 2003, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123 whereby the fair value of the stock options granted to employees was expensed. Under the modified prospective method of adoption selected by the Company under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Board No. 148 Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure (SFAS 148), employee compensation cost recognized in 2003 is the same as that which would have been recognized had the provisions of SFAS 123 been applied from its original effective date. Results of prior years have not been restated.

   

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS 123R) Share Based Payment using the modified prospective method for all employee awards granted, modified or settled after the effective date using the fair value measurement method of this standard. For unvested employee equity awards as of the effective date, compensation is to be recognized based upon the grant date fair value determined under SFAS 123, adjusted to reflect the estimated impact of forfeitures. Upon adoption of SFAS 123R, there was no cumulative effect adjustment required. Non- employee awards are accounted for under the fair value method under both Canadian and US GAAP There were no significant differences in accounting for stock-based compensation between Canadian GAAP and US GAAP during the three years ended December 31, 2006.

   
(c)

Elimination of deficit:

   

During the year ended December 31, 1999, the Company reduced its paid-up capital by $6,211,205 to eliminate the deficit at March 31, 1999. In order to effect these reductions, it was not necessary to revalue the assets of the Company. As a consequence, all conditions under the US GAAP quasi-reorganization rules were not met and the recapitalization of the deficit would not be recorded.

(d)

Convertible note payable:

     

Under Canadian GAAP, the proceeds of the financing allocated to the estimated fair value of the conversion feature of the debt is recorded as an equity component of the debt (note 7(b)). Under US GAAP, a value is assigned to the conversion feature only if the effective conversion rate is less than the market price of the common stock at the date of issuance. Accordingly, no value would be assigned under US GAAP to the conversion feature on the convertible note issued in 2006 Applying US GAAP, the convertible note at December 31, 2006 would be recorded at its face value of $2,020,000 and no value would be assigned to an equity component of the convertible note. In addition, accretion on the calculated debt discount on the convertible note under Canadian GAAP aggregating $149,799 (2005 and 2004 - Nil) for the year ended December 31, 2006 would not have been recorded, reducing interest expense by an equivalent amount.

     

The amounts in the consolidated balance sheets that differ significantly from those reported under Canadian GAAP are as follows:


      December 31, 2006           December 31, 2005        
      Canadian     US     Canadian     US  
      GAAP     GAAP     GAAP     GAAP

  Share capital   46,393,145     52,604,350     21,536,440     27,747,645  
  Contributed surplus   6,077,864     6,092,864     1,638,819     1,653,819  
  Equity component of                        
  convertible note   1,006,000                 -  
  Deficit   (24,927,178 )   (31,003,584 )   (9,842,741 )   (16,068,946 )

  (e)

Statement of operations presentation:

       
 

The consolidated statement of operations includes a write-down of San Taco mineral property in other expenses. Under US GAAP, this amount would be disclosed as an operating expense.

       
  (f)

Recent accounting pronouncements:

       
  (i)

On June 1, 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes, and FASB Statement No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements. SFAS 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of any change in accounting principle unless it is impracticable to do so or a new standard specifically indicates otherwise. This is a change from the preceding practice that requires most accounting changes to be accounted for by including in net income, in the period of the change, the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle. SFAS 154 was effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made after December 31, 2005 and the adoption of this standard had no significant effect on the company’s results of operations or financial position.

Recent accounting pronouncements (continued):

       
(ii)

In June 2006, FASB issued Financial Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - An Interpretation of SFAS Statement No. 109. This interpretation provides guidance on recognition and measurement of uncertainties in income taxes and is effective for the Company’s 2007 fiscal year end. The Company does not expect the adoption of this Interpretation to have a significant effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

       
(iii)

In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurement to define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value and to expand disclosures about fair value measurements. The statement only applies to fair value and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company does not expect the adoption of this Interpretation to have a significant effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

       
(iv)

In September 2006, the US Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 which provides guidance on the consideration of the effects of prior year misstatements in quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements. This guidance is applicable for annual statements for periods ending after November 15, 2006. The adoption of this interpretation did not result in any adjustment being recognized in the consolidated financial statements.

Reconciliation:

       

The effect of the measurement differences between Canadian GAAP and US GAAP on the consolidated balances sheets and statements of operations and cash flows is summarized as follows:

  Share capital and contributed surplus, under
