1.         Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation
 
 
The Company is in the process of exploring and permitting its mineral properties primarily in conjunction with third parties (see Note 6), and has not yet determined whether these properties contain mineral reserves that are economically recoverable. The underlying value and recoverability of the amounts shown for mineral properties and deferred exploration costs is dependent upon the ability of the Company and/or its mineral property partners to complete exploration and development and discover economically recoverable reserves, successful permitting, and upon future profitable production or proceeds from disposition of the Company’s mineral properties. Failure to discover economically recoverable reserves will require the Company to write-off costs capitalized to date.

 
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and to realize the carrying value of its assets and discharge its liabilities is dependent on the discovery of economically recoverable mineral reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to fund its operations, and the future production or proceeds from developed properties.  These financial statements do not reflect adjustments that would be necessary if the going concern assumption were not appropriate.

These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes to the consolidated financial statements required by Canadian generally accepted accounting principles for annual consolidated financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the nine month period ended December 31, 2007 may not necessarily be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 2008.

The consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2007 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by Canadian generally accepted accounting principles for annual consolidated financial statements.  The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with the accounting policies described in the Company's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2007, except as described in Note 2.  For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2007.


 
2.          Change in Accounting Policies
 
Effective April 1, 2007, the Company adopted the new CICA Handbook Standards relating to financial instruments.  These new standards have been adopted on a prospective basis with no restatement of prior period financial statements.
 
 
a)
Section 3855, “Financial Instruments - Recognition and Measurement” provides guidance on the recognition and measurement of financial assets, financial liabilities and derivative financial instruments. This new standard requires that all financial assets and liabilities be classified as either: held-to-maturity, held-for-trading, loans and receivables, available-for-sale, or other financial liabilities. The initial and subsequent recognition depends on their initial classification.
 
Held-to-maturity financial assets are initially recognized at their fair values and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Impairment losses are charged to net earnings in the period in which they arise.
 
Held-for-trading financial instruments are carried at fair value with changes in the fair value charged or credited to net earnings in the period in which they arise.

Notes to Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
For the Nine Months Ended December 31, 2007
(Unaudited)


 
Loans and receivables are initially recognized at their fair values, with any resulting premium or discount from the face value being amortized to income or expense using the effective interest method. Impairment losses are charged to net earnings in the period in which they arise.
 
Available-for-sale financial instruments are carried at fair value with changes in the fair value charged or credited to other comprehensive income. Impairment losses are charged to net earnings in the period in which they arise.
 
Other financial liabilities are initially measured at cost or at amortized cost depending upon the nature of the instrument with any resulting premium or discount from the face value being amortized to income or expense using the effective interest method.
 
All derivative financial instruments meeting certain recognition criteria are carried at fair value with changes in fair value charged or credited to income or expense in the period in which they arise.
 
The standard requires the Company to make certain elections, upon initial adoption of the new rules, regarding the accounting model to be used to account for each financial instrument. This new section also requires that transaction costs incurred in connection with the issuance of financial instruments either be capitalized and presented as a reduction of the carrying value of the related financial instrument or expensed as incurred. If capitalized, transaction costs must be amortized to income using the effective interest method. This section does not permit the restatement of financial statements of prior periods.
 
The following is a summary of the accounting model the Company has elected to apply to each of its significant categories of financial instruments outstanding as of April 1, 2007:
 

Cash and cash equivalents
Held-for-trading
Marketable securities
Available-for-sale
Amounts receivable
Loans and receivables
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities
Other liabilities
 
With respect to embedded derivatives, the Company has elected to recognize only those derivatives embedded in contracts issued, acquired or substantively modified on or after January 1, 2003 as permitted by the transitional provisions set out in section 3855.  The Company did not identify any such embedded derivatives.
 
There was no impact to the Company upon initial adoption of this section on April 1, 2007.
 
 
b)
Section 3865, “Hedges” allows optional treatment providing that hedges be designated as either fair value hedges, cash flow hedges or hedges of a self-sustaining foreign operation.
 
 
c)
Section 1530, “Comprehensive Income”, along with Section 3251, “Equity” which amends Section 3250, “Surplus”, requires enterprises to separately disclose comprehensive income and its components in the financial statements. Further, enterprises are required to present changes in equity during the period as well as components of equity at the end of the period, including comprehensive income. Major components of Other Comprehensive Income include changes in fair value of financial assets classified as available-for-sale, the changes in fair value of effective cash flow hedging items, and exchange gains and losses arising from the translation of the financial statements of self-sustaining foreign operations.

3.          Future Accounting Policy Changes

The Company will be required to adopt the following new accounting standards under Canadian GAAP for interim and annual financial statements relating to its fiscal year commencing April 1, 2008.

 
(a)
Capital Disclosures

New CICA Accounting Handbook Section 1535, “Capital Disclosures”, establishes standards for disclosing information about an entity’s capital and how it is managed and requires the following disclosures:

 
(i)
qualitative information about the entity’s objectives, policies and processes for managing capital;
 
(ii)
summary quantitative data about what it manages as capital;
 
(iii)
whether during the period it complied with any externally imposed capital requirements to which it is subject; and
 
(iv)
when it has not complied with such externally imposed capital requirements, the consequences of such non-compliance.

There will be no impact on the Company’s financial statements from the adoption of this standard as it affects only disclosure requirements.

 
(b)
Financial Instruments

New CICA Accounting Handbook Sections 3862, “Financial Instruments - Disclosures”, and 3863, “Financial Instruments - Presentation”, replace existing Handbook Section 3861, “Financial Instruments - Disclosure and Presentation”, revising and enhancing its disclosure requirements and carrying forward unchanged its presentation requirements.  The revised and enhanced disclosure requirements are intended to enable users to evaluate the significance of financial instruments for the entity's financial position and performance, and the nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments to which the entity is exposed during the period and at the balance sheet date and how the entity manages those risks.  There will be no impact on the Company’s financial statements from the adoption of these standards as the changes arising affect only disclosure requirements.

 
(c)
Inventories

New CICA Accounting Handbook Section 3031, “Inventories”, prescribes the accounting treatment for inventories and provides guidance on the determination of costs and its subsequent recognition as an expense, including any write-down to net realizable value.  It also provides guidance on the cost formulas that are used to assign costs to inventories.  The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements as it has not held significant inventories in the past and does not anticipate holding any in the period of initial application.

For interim and annual financial statements relating to its fiscal year commencing April 1, 2009, the Company will be required to adopt new CICA Accounting Handbook Section 3064, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets”, replacing existing Handbook Section 3062 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”Section 3064 establishes revised standards for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of goodwill and intangible assets.  The Company has not yet determined the effect if any that the adoption of this new standard will have on its financial statements.

4.          Marketable Securities
 
 
In July, 2007, the Company sold its 4,000,000 shares in Northern Lion Gold Corp. (“Northern Lion”) for net proceeds of $1,995,420.

 
The quoted market value of remaining marketable securities at December 31, 2007 was $44,435 (March 31, 2007 - $51,808).

 
5.          Investment in Camphor Ventures Inc.

During the three months ended June 30, 2007, the Company acquired 9,884,915 common shares of Camphor Ventures Inc. (“Camphor”), representing approximately 66 percent of the issued and outstanding common shares of Camphor that the Company did not already own, and bringing the Company’s holdings in Camphor to 100%, and the Company’s interest in the Gahcho Kué project to 49%, with De Beers Canada Exploration Inc. (“De Beers Canada”) holding a 51% interest.  A total of 4,052,816 Mountain Province shares were issued in exchange for the Camphor shares.  The Company has valued the common shares issued in this transaction based on the market price of the Company’s shares on the various dates the consideration was exchanged.

In addition to the issuance of common shares, the Company took up the 485,000 stock options of Camphor, and exchanged them for 198,850 stock options of the Company.  These replacement stock options were valued at their estimated fair market value using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions:  dividend yield of 0%; expected volatilities of 34% to 64%; risk-free interest rate of 4.64% and expected lives between 2.83 and 10.33 months.

The preliminary allocation of the purchase price is summarized in the table below.  This allocation is subject to change.

8.          Income Taxes
The estimated taxable income for the period is $nil. Based upon the level of historical taxable income, it cannot be reasonably determined if the Company will realize the benefits from future income tax assets or the amounts owing from future income tax liabilities. Consequently, the future recovery or loss arising from differences in tax values and accounting values have been reduced by an equivalent estimated taxable temporary difference valuation allowance. This estimated taxable temporary difference valuation allowance will be adjusted in the period that it can be determined that it is more likely than not that some or all of the future tax assets or future tax liabilities will be realized.

For further information about the Company's losses for tax purposes, refer to the audited consolidated March 31, 2007 financial statements. The benefits of these losses and the estimated loss for the period are not recognized in these consolidated unaudited interim financial statements.

9.          Loss Per Share

Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. For all periods presented, loss available to the common shareholders equals the reported loss. The Company uses the treasury stock method to compute the dilutive effect of options, warrants and similar instruments. Diluted earnings per share is similar to basic earnings per share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential dilutive common shares had been issued. The treasury stock method assumes that the proceeds received on exercise of stock options is used to repurchase common shares at the average market value for the period.

10.
