BUFFALO GOLD LTD.
(An Exploration Stage Company)

Notes to the Financial Statements
(Expressed in Canadian dollars)
Quarter Ended March 31, 2005
Unaudited, Prepared by Management)

1.   Basis of Presentation

Buffalo Gold Ltd. (the "Company") is an Alberta Corporation engaged in the evaluation of mineral properties for potential acquisition. To date, the Company has not earned significant revenues and is considered to be in the exploration stage. The Company's shares are listed on the NEX and, accordingly, the Company is subject to restrictions on share issuances and certain types of payments as set out in NEX policies.

The accompanying unaudited financial statements do not include all information and footnote disclosures required for an annual set of financial statements under Canadian or United States generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows as at March 31, 2005 and for all periods presented, have been included. Interim results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year as a whole.

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. These financial statements conform, in all material respects, with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the United States.

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. The accounting principles applied in these interim consolidated financial statements are consistent to those applied in the annual consolidated financial statements.

2.   Going Concern

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Canada with the on-going assumption that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business rather than through a process of forced liquidation. However, certain conditions noted below currently exist which raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

At March 31, 2005, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $490,359 (2004 - $468,977), and, without additional funding, is unable to meet its obligations as they fall due. At March 31, 2005, the Company was in default under the terms of loans payable but subsequently agreed to settle the balance due through the issuance of common shares, subject to regulatory approval (note 9). Furthermore, in April 2005, the Company agreed to settle accounts payable of $280,743 due to companies controlled by officers and directors through the issuance of common shares, subject to regulatory approval (note 9).

The Company has a significant working capital deficiency and, accordingly, there is substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. Management is actively pursuing additional funds by way of private placement. While the Company has been successful in raising funds in the past, there can be no assurance that it will be able to do so in the future.

The operations of the Company have primarily been funded by the issuance of share capital and debt. Continued operation of the Company is dependent on the Company's ability to complete additional equity financings or generate profitable operations in the future. Such financings may not be available or may not be available on reasonable terms.

  Exploration Properties and Deferred Costs

Calling and Varlaam, Alberta

The Company had interests in several mining exploration permits in the Calling Lake and adjacent Varlaam regions of Alberta. The Company wrote down the carrying values of the properties to $nil in prior periods and has subsequently abandoned these claims.

Terrawest Properties, Peoples Republic of China

During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire an interest in certain gold properties in the People's Republic of China from Terrawest Resource Holdings Ltd. ("Terrawest"). The Company conducted property evaluation and due diligence in 2003. In March 2004, the agreement effectively ended when Terrawest received a notice from its Chinese partners terminating Terrawest's underlying agreement on the subject properties. The Company agreed to abandon any claim against Terrawest in consideration of Terrawest and its principals providing two joint and several promissory notes totalling $100,000. The promissory notes are each for $50,000, fell due on July 30, 2004 and December 31, 2004 respectively and bear interest at the rate of 10% per year after their due dates. The present value of these promissory notes was $94,955 at the date of issue and $50,000 at December 31, 2004. The Company received the $50,000 due July 30, 2004 and, subsequent to March 31, 2005, received $2,500 of the amount due December 31, 2004.

5.   STOCK OPTIONS

In 2003 the Company adopted an incentive stock option plan (the "Plan") to grant options to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company. The maximum number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan shall not exceed 10% of the issued share capital of the Company. Under the Plan, the exercise price of each option may not be less than the market price of the Company's shares at the date of grant. Options granted under the Plan have a term not to exceed five years.

As at March 31, 2004, the following stock options are outstanding and exercisable:

Of these amounts, $280,743 was subsequently settled through the issuance of common shares, subject to regulatory approval.

 

These transactions were in the normal course of operations and were measured at the exchange value which represented the amount of consideration established and agreed to by the related parties.

8.  RECLASSIFICATION

Certain 2004 comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the financial statement presentation adopted in 2005.

9.  DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CANADIAN AND UNITED STATES GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Canada. These financial statements also conform, in all material respects, to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States with respect to recognition, measurement and presentation.

10.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In April 2005, subject to regulatory approval, the Company entered into agreements as follows:

a)       Directors and officers, or their companies, agreed to settle accounts owing to them of $280,743 in exchange for common shares at US$0.15 (approximately $0.18) per share, which will result in the issuance of approximately 1,539,000 common shares.

b)       The holders of the loans payable agreed to settle the principal amount of their debt for 25% in cash and 75% in common shares at US$0.15 (approximately $0.18). The loan holders also agreed to waive interest on the loans and the common share bonuses. This settlement will result in the issuance of approximately 601,000 common shares.

c)       In April 2005, subject to regulatory approval, the Company was granted an option to acquire a 60% interest in six claims in the Omineca Mining Division in north-central British Columbia known as the Red Property. The Red Property is presently held under option by Gitennes Exploration Inc. that can acquire a 100% interest in the Red Property, subject to a 1.5% net smelter return royalty.  In order to acquire its 60% interest in the underlying option, the Company must pay Gitennes $30,000 on regulatory approval, incur expenditures of $600,000 by July 15, 2007, of which $200,000 must be incurred by July 15, 2006, and must make property payments to the underlying vendor totalling $100,000 by July 15, 2007.  Thereafter, the Company and Gitennes will incur the balance of the $2,000,000 in expenditures required by the underlying option to be incurred by July 15, 2010 on a pro rata basis.
