GLOSSARY OF MINING TERMS


The following is a glossary of some of the terms used in the mining industry and referenced in this annual report:


Term

Explanation

Allochthonous

Rocks or materials which have formed at a different place than where they are currently found; having a foreign origin.

Alluvial

A general term for clay, silt, sand, gravel or similar unconsolidated detrital material deposited during comparatively recent geological time by a stream or other body of running water.

Alluvium

Detrital deposits created by streams on riverbeds, flood plains and alluvial fans.  A deposit of silty clay laid down, often during periods of flooding.

Argillite

A compact rock derived from mudstone or shale that is more highly indurated than either of these rocks.  Argillite also lacks the fissility of shale or the cleavage of slate.

Arsenopyrite

A tin-white or steel-gray orthorhombic mineral comprised of iron, arsenic and sulphur (FeAsS).  It commonly occurs in crystalline rocks as disseminations and within veins, often associated with lead and silver veins.  It is the principal ore of Arsenic.

Autochthonous

Rocks or materials which are presently located in their place of origin.

Bornite

A red-brown isometric mineral comprised of copper, iron and sulphur (Cu5FeS4).  Bornite readily tarnishes to iridescent blue or purple, often referred to as “peacock ore”.   It is an important Copper ore.

Breccia

A general term applied to rock formations consisting mainly of angular fragments hosted by a fine-grained matrix.

Calcareous

The term calcareous, when applied to a rock name, implies that as much as 50% of the rock is comprised of calcium carbonate (Ca CO3).

Chalcopyrite

A bright brass-yellow tetragonal mineral comprised of copper, iron and sulphur (CuFeS2).  It commonly occurs as disseminations, veins and masses.  It is the principal ore of Copper.

Chargeability

An electrical survey parameter identifying the conductive nature of geologic units subjected to an introduced electrical charge.  In geophysical survey methods, chargeability is most often a measure of sulphide content as well as differing geologic units.


Chert

A hard, dense, compact crytocrystalline sedimentary rock comprised chiefly of extremely fine grained interlocking crystals of quartz.  It displays a distinctive conchoidal fracture and occurs in a variety of colors.  The term flint is synonymous.

Coeval

A term applying to items having the same age or date of origin.

Colluvial

A general term applied to any loose, heterogeneous and incoherent mass of soil material or rock fragments deposited chiefly by mass-wasting, usually at the base of a steep slope or cliff.

Comagmatic

Igneous rocks displaying a common set of chemical and mineralogical features.  As such, they are regarded as having derived from the same parent magma.

Conglomerate

A coarse grained, clastic sedimentary rock composed of rounded to sub-angular fragments larger than 2 millimetres in diameter, within a fine grained matrix of sand or silt.  It is commonly cemented by calcium carbonate, iron oxide, silica or hardened clay.



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Buffalo Gold Ltd. 20-F   Page 6

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Dilatant structure

An increase in bulk volume during deformation, caused by a change from close packed structure to open-packed structure, accompanied by an increase in the pore volume.

Diorite

A group of plutonic rocks intermediate in composition between acidic and basic.

Drilling within solids

Drilling within the 3D shape that defines the volumetric limits of a mineralized zone.

Dyke

A tabular body of igneous rock that cuts across the structure of adjacent rocks or cuts across massive rocks.  Due to its cross-cutting nature, it has clear implications regarding the timing of geologic events.

Epithermal

Refers to a mineral deposit formed by precipitation of ore minerals in open spaces from watery fluids within about 1 kilometre of the earth’s surface and in the temperature range of 50° to 200° C, occurring mainly as veins.

Feasibility Study

A detailed report showing the feasibility of placing a prospective ore body or deposit of the minerals within a mineral property into production, which report typically includes, among other things, the specific portion or portions of the property that should be included, in a development block, conclusions and recommendations regarding any adjustments that should be made to the boundaries of a development block, a description of the work to be performed in order to develop the mineral resources within the development block and to construct a mine or mines and related facilities on the development block, the estimated capital and operating costs thereof, a proposed schedule for the timing of development and mine construction, and the information obtained and evaluations made in respect thereof.

Galena

A gray metallic mineral comprised of lead and sulphur (PbS).  It is distinguished by its, perfect cubic cleavage, relative softness and heaviness.   Galena occurs as disseminations, veins (often associated with silver) and occasionally masses.  It is the principal ore of Lead.

Gangue

The valueless rock or mineral aggregates within an ore body that cannot be avoided during the mining process.  Gangue is not economically desirable material that is separated from the ore during the mine concentration process.

g/t

Grams per tonne.

GPS Surveying

Global Positioning System method of surveying.

Grade cutting

Grade cutting indicates that assay values in excess of a defined grade are reduced to that defined grade or upper limit.

Hydrothermal

Of or pertaining to hot water, the action of hot water, or the products of such action including mineral deposition precipitated from a hot aqueous solution.

Induced Polarization

A geophysical survey technique that measured various electrical properties.  This system introduces a strong electrical charge into the sub-surface and then measures its charging intensity and strength at various controlled stations over distance distribution.

Karst

A type of topography that is formed over limestone, dolomite, or gypsum by dissolution, and that is characterized by sinkholes, caves, and underground drainage.

Magmatism

Referring to the development and movement of magma, and its subsequent solidification into igneous rock.



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Buffalo Gold Ltd. 20-F   Page 7

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Mesothermal

Refers to a mineral deposit formed by precipitation of ore minerals in open spaces from watery fluids at considerable depth and in the temperature range of 200° - 300° C.

Mineral Deposit or Mineralized Material

A mineralized body which has been delineated by appropriately spaced drilling and/or underground sampling to support a sufficient tonnage and average grade of metal(s).  Such a deposit does not qualify as a reserve until a comprehensive evaluation based upon unit cost, grade, recoveries and other material factors conclude legal and economic feasibility.

Mineralization

A natural aggregate of one or more metallic minerals.

Ounces

Troy ounces.

Plutonic

Pertaining to igneous rocks formed at great depths by crystallization of magma or chemical alteration.  These rocks are commonly coarse to medium grained and displaying a granitoid texture.

Pyrite

A very common yellow isometric mineral comprised of iron and sulphur (FeS2) that displays a brilliant metallic lustre and an absence of cleavage.  It is the most common, widespread and abundant of the sulphide minerals, and occurs in all rock types in various forms.

Pyrrhotite

A common red-brown to bronze pseudohexagonal mineral comprised of iron and sulphur (Fe1-xS).  This mineral is darker and softer than pyrite.  Some forms are magnetic.  It commonly occurs as masses with pentlandite (a nickel ore) and may contain considerable nickel, in such cases mined as a nickel ore.

Quartzite

A granoblastic metamorphic rock consisting predominantly of quartz, formed by the recrystallization of sandstone through the action of regional or thermal metamorphic action.

Reserves

That part of a mineral deposit which could be economically and legally extracted or produced at the time of the reserve determination.

 

 

Resistivity

An electrical survey parameter identifying the resistive nature of geologic units subjected to an introduced electrical charge.  In geophysical survey methods, resistivity identifies variations in alteration, structure and geology.

Roscoelite

A vanadium rich mica mineral.

Sinkholes

A circular depression in a karst area.  Its drainage is subterranean.

Skarn

Rocks primarily composed of lime-bearing silicates derived from nearly pure limestones and dolomites that have been significantly altered during the introduction of large amounts of iron, aluminum, silica and magnesium, most often related directly to plutonic and magmatic events.  This compositional and chemical change is often associated with the emplacement and concentration of metallic minerals as well, creating skarn deposits.

Sphalerite

A yellow, brown or black isometric mineral comprised of zinc, iron and sulphur (Zn, Fe, and S) and is most distinguished by its resinous to adamantine lustre and distinctive cleavage.  It occurs as disseminations, veins and masses.  Sphalerite is one of the most common Zinc ores.



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Buffalo Gold Ltd. 20-F   Page 8

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Stibnite

A lead gray mineral comprised of antimony and sulphur (Sb2S3) which has a brilliant metallic lustre and perfect cleavage.  It is the principal ore of Antimony.

Stratigraphy

The science of studying rock strata, concerning the characteristics and attributes of rock strata formation.  This includes interpretation in terms of origin and geologic history.  All classes of rocks, consolidated or unconsolidated, fall within the general scope of stratigraphy.  It is also the arrangement of strata (layered rocks) relative to geographic position and chronological order of sequence.

Tenement

Refers to an area of land held under the Papua New Guinea Mining Act 1992 as an exploration licence; special mining lease; mining lease; alluvial mining lease; lease for mining purposes; or mining easement

Tetrahedrite

A metallic isometric mineral comprised of copper, iron, antimony and sulphur ((Cu,Fe)12Sb4S13).  It often contains silver or other metals partially replacing copper in its make-up.  It is an important copper and silver ore.

Thrust Faults

A structural displacement (fault) displaying a dip angle of 45 degrees or less over much of its extent, on which the hanging wall appears to have moved upwards relative to the foot wall.  Horizontal compression rather than vertical displacement is the characteristic feature.

Tonne

A metric unit of weight (2,204 pounds).

Turbidites

Turbidites are sediments deposited from a turbidity current (A density current commonly occurring as a bottom-flowing movement that stirs up sediment creating the density difference with the overlying undisturbed water).  The deposits are characterized by graded bedding, moderate sorting and well-developed primary structures, including lamination.

(1)

In the last five years, the Company has not generated any revenues, had any discontinued operations or declared any dividends.

(2)

The effect of potential share issuances pursuant to the exercise of options and warrants would be anti-dilutive and, therefore, basic and diluted losses are the same.

(3)

Per share numbers and the number of shares outstanding have been adjusted for the one for ten consolidation of the Company’s share capital in 2003.


Unless otherwise specified, all monetary amounts in this annual report on Form 20-F are expressed in Canadian dollars.  On June 19, 2007, the exchange rate, based on the noon buying rate published by the Bank of Canada, for the conversion of Canadian dollars into United States dollars was US$1.00 = $1.0639

D.

Risk Factors


The following is a brief discussion of those distinctive or special characteristics of the Company’s operations and industry which may have a material impact on, or constitute risk factors in respect of, the Company’s future financial performance.


History of Net Losses; Accumulated Deficit; Lack of Revenue from Operations


The Company has incurred net losses to date.  Its deficit as of December 31, 2006 was $19,993,344.  The Company has not yet had any revenue from the exploration activities on its properties, nor has the Company yet found that development activity is warranted on any of its properties. Even if the Company does undertake development activity on any of its properties, the Company may continue to incur losses beyond the period of commencement of such activity.  There is no certainty that the Company will produce revenue, operate profitably or provide a return on investment in the future.



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Buffalo Gold Ltd. 20-F   Page 12

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




Additional Funding Requirements; Uncertainty of Additional Financing


Cash flow from operations has not in the past, and is not expected in the next few years, to satisfy the Company’s operational requirements and cash commitments.  In the past, the Company has relied on sales of debt and equity securities to meet most of its cash requirements. There can be no assurance that funding from these sources will be sufficient in the future to satisfy operational requirements and cash commitments.


The Company now has sufficient financial resources to undertake preliminary exploration programs on certain of its existing properties.  However, the continued exploration and development of any property that the Company has or might acquire depends upon the Company’s ability to obtain financing through any or all of the joint venturing of projects, debt financing, equity financing or other means. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining the required financing.  Failure to obtain additional financing on a timely basis could cause the Company to forfeit its interest in any properties and reduce or terminate its operations on such properties.


Title Matters


While the Company has diligently investigated title to all exploration concessions and, to the best of its knowledge, title to all properties is in good standing; this should not be construed as a guarantee of title.  Other parties (including indigenous landowners) may dispute title to the exploration properties in which the Company has an interest or the right to acquire an interest.  The properties may be subject to prior unregistered agreements or transfers or aboriginal land claims and title may be affected by undetected defects.


In particular, at the Mt. Kare Property in Papua New Guinea, there has been a complicated series of title disputes and litigation in recent years, which has in the past affected orderly exploration of the property. There can be no assurance that additional title disputes will not arise and in such event the Company's ability to explore and exploit the Mt. Kare Property could be adversely affected by factors unrelated to the geological potential of the property.  (For further detail, see “Item 4D. Information on the Company - Property, Plants and Equipment - Mt. Kare Property”.)


Under the terms of EL 1093 and EL 1427, the exploration licences which comprise the Mt. Kare Property, the Government of Papua New Guinea may, at any time prior to commencement of mining, purchase up to a 30% equity interest in any mineral discovery on the property which would cause dilution of the Company's interest in this property.


Exploration Activities Are Inherently Risky


The business of exploring for minerals and mining involves a high degree of risk.  Few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines.  In developing its mineral deposits, the Company will be subjected to an array of complex economic factors and accordingly there is no assurance that a positive feasibility study or any projected results contained in a feasibility study of a mineral deposit will be attained.


Technical considerations, delays in obtaining governmental approvals, inability to obtain financing or other factors could cause delays in developing properties.  Such delays could materially and adversely affect the financial performance of the Company.



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Buffalo Gold Ltd. 20-F   Page 13

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The business of mining is subject to a variety of risks such as cave-ins and other accidents, flooding, environmental hazards, the discharge of toxic chemicals and other hazards.  Such occurrences may delay production, increase production costs or result in liability.  However, the Company may become subject to liability for hazards against which it cannot insure itself or which it may elect not to insure against because of premium costs or other reasons.  In particular, the Company is not insured for environmental liability or earthquake damage.


In order to develop properties which the Company might acquire, it may be necessary to build the necessary infrastructure facilities including, electricity, transportation, etc., the costs of which could be substantial.


Company at Exploration Stage Only; Limited Experience with Development-Stage Mining Operations


The Company has limited experience in placing resource properties into production, and its ability to do so will be dependent upon using the services of appropriately experienced personnel or entering into agreements with other major resource companies that can provide such expertise.  There can be no assurance that the Company will have available to it the necessary expertise when and if the Company places its resource properties into production.


Competition


Significant and increasing competition exists for the limited number of mineral property acquisition opportunities available.  As a result of this competition, some of which is with large, established mining companies with substantial capabilities and greater financial and technical resources than the Company, the Company may be unable to acquire additional attractive mineral properties on terms it considers acceptable.  Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Company’s exploration and acquisition programs will result in any commercial mining operation.


Conflicts of Interest


Certain of the directors of the Company are directors of other reporting companies or have significant shareholdings in other mineral resource companies and, to the extent that such other companies may participate in ventures in which the Company may participate, the directors of the Company may have a conflict of interest in negotiating and concluding terms respecting the extent of such participation.  In the event that such a conflict of interest arises at a meeting of the directors of the Company, a director who has such a conflict will abstain from voting for or against the approval of such participation or such terms.  In appropriate cases the Company will establish a special committee of independent directors to review a matter in which several directors, or management, may have a conflict.  In accordance with the laws of the Province of Alberta, the directors of the Company are required to act honestly, in good faith and in the best interests of the Company.  In determining whether or not the Company will participate in a particular program and the interest therein to be acquired by it, the directors will primarily consider the potential benefits to the Company, the degree of risk to which the Company may be exposed and its financial position at that time.  Other than as indicated, the Company has no other procedures or mechanisms to deal with conflicts of interest.

Stock Subject to Penny Stock Rules


The capital stock of the Company would be classified as “penny stock” as defined in Reg. § 240.3a51-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”).  In response to perceived abuse in the penny stock market generally, the 1934 Act was amended in 1990 to add new requirements in connection with penny stocks.  In connection with effecting any transaction in a penny stock, a broker or dealer must give the customer a written risk disclosure document that (a) describes the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading, (b) describes the broker’s or dealer’s duties to the customer and the rights and remedies available to such customer with respect to violations of such duties, (c) describes the dealer market, including “bid” and “ask” prices for penny stock and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask prices, (d) contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary histories of brokers and dealers, and (e) defines significant terms used in the disclosure document or the conduct of trading in penny stocks.  In addition, the broker-dealer must provide to a penny stock customer a written monthly account statement that discloses the identity and number of shares of each penny stock held in the customer’s account, and the estimated market value of such shares.  The extensive disclosure and other broker-dealer compliance related to penny stocks may result in reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for such stocks, thus limiting the ability of the holder to sell such stock.


Environmental and Other Regulatory Requirements

The current or future operations of the Company, including development activities and commencement of production on its properties, require permits from various governmental authorities and such operations are and will be subject to laws and regulations governing prospecting, development, mining, production, exports, taxes, labour standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, land use, environmental protection, mine safety and other matters.  Companies engaged in the development and operation of mines and related facilities generally experience increased costs, and delays in production and other schedules as a result of the need to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permits.  There can be no assurance that approvals and permits required to commence production on its various properties will be obtained.  Additional permits and studies, which may include  environmental impact studies conducted before permits can be obtained, may be necessary prior to operation of the properties in which the Company has interests and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain or maintain all necessary permits that may be required to commence construction, development or operation of mining facilities at these properties on terms which enable operations to be conducted at economically justifiable costs.


The Company’s potential mining and processing operations and exploration activities are subject to various laws governing land use, the protection of the environment, prospecting, development, production, exports, taxes, labour standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, mine safety and other matters.  Such operations and exploration activities are also subject to substantial regulation under these laws by governmental agencies and may require that the Company obtain permits from various governmental agencies.  The Company believes it is in substantial compliance with all material laws and regulations which currently apply to its activities.  There can be no assurance, however, that all permits the Company may require for construction of mining facilities and conduct of mining operations will be obtainable on reasonable terms or that such laws and regulations would not have a material adverse effect on any mining project the Company might undertake.



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Buffalo Gold Ltd. 20-F   Page 15

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations, and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing operations to cease or be curtailed, and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment, or remedial actions.  Parties engaged in mining operations may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of the mining activities and may have civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed for violations of applicable laws or regulations.


Amendments to current laws, regulations and permits governing operations and activities of mining companies, or more stringent implementation thereof, could have a material adverse impact on the Company and cause increases in capital expenditures or production costs or reduction in levels of production at producing properties or abandonment or delays in development of new mining properties.


To the best of the Company's knowledge, it is currently operating in compliance with all applicable environmental regulations.



Dividends


All of the Company's available funds will be invested to finance the growth of the Company's business and therefore investors cannot expect and should not expect to receive a dividend on the Company's common shares in the foreseeable future.


Company's Officers and Directors Resident Outside US; Potential Unenforceability of Civil Liabilities and Judgments


The Company and substantially all of its officers and all of its directors are residents of countries other than the United States, and all of the Company's assets are located outside the United States.  As a result, it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon such persons or enforce in the United States against such persons judgments obtained in United States courts, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of United States federal securities laws or state securities laws.


The Company believes that a judgment of a United States court predicated solely upon civil liability under United States securities laws would probably be enforceable in Canada if the United States court in which the judgment was obtained has a basis for jurisdiction in the matter that was recognized by a Canadian court for such purposes.  However, there is doubt whether an action could be brought in Canada in the first instance on the basis of liability predicated solely upon such laws.


If the Company is Unable to Successfully Develop and Subsequently Generate Sufficient Cash Flow from its Properties, the Company Could be Treated as a Passive Foreign Investment Company for US Tax Purposes, Possibly Resulting in Additional Taxes to Its US Stockholders and Less Liquidity for the Stock



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Buffalo Gold Ltd. 20-F   Page 16

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The Company, as a foreign corporation with United States stockholders, could potentially be treated as a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) for US tax purposes.  United States stockholders owning shares of a PFIC can be subject to adverse tax consequences.  In general, the Company would be considered a PFIC if:  75% or more of its gross income in a taxable year is passive income such as dividends and interest; or, the average percentage of the Company’s assets (by value) during the taxable year which produce passive income or which are held for production of same is at least 50%.  A United States stockholder owing shares of a PFIC, who does not make certain elections for tax purposes, is subject to an additional tax and to an interest charge based on the value of deferral of tax for the period during which the common shares of the PFIC are owned.  Also, gain realized on the disposition of common shares of the PFIC would be treated as ordinary income rather than capital gains.  If United States stockholders are subject to adverse tax consequences related to their ownership of the Company’s stock, they might be less willing to acquire the stock, which could result in reduced market activity and liquidity for the stock.



ITEM 4.

INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY


A.

History and Development of the Company


The Company is an Alberta corporation in the business of the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties, with the primary aim of developing them to a stage where they can be exploited at a profit. The Company does not currently have any production properties and its current operations relate to its efforts to acquire mineable deposits of minerals and undertake exploration activities on those properties. The Company is therefore presently in the exploration stage.  


The Company was formed on December 1, 1998 by the amalgamation of TLT Resources Inc. (“TLT”) and Buffalo Diamonds Ltd. (“BDL”) pursuant to the provisions of the Alberta Business Corporations Act.  TLT was incorporated on January 30, 1992 in the Province of Alberta under the name 517003 Alberta Ltd.  On February 27, 1992, it changed its name to Tenga Laboratories Inc.  On August 6, 1998, it changed its name to TLT Resources Ltd. at which time its share capital was consolidated on a 1 for 10 basis.  BDL was formed on May 4, 1998 by the amalgamation of two non-reporting Alberta corporations pursuant to the provisions of the Alberta Business Corporations Act, Buffalo Diamonds Ltd. (incorporated on March 6, 1998 in the Province of Alberta) and 656405 Alberta Ltd. (incorporated on May 30, 1995 in the Province of Alberta).


The Company has incorporated a wholly-owned Papua New Guinea subsidiary, Buffalo PNG Ltd., to undertake certain operations related to the Mt. Kare Property


The head office and principal office address of the Company is located at 1111 West Georgia Street, 24th Floor, Vancouver, BC V6E 4M4, Canada.  Its telephone number is 604-685-5492.


After the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company was primarily engaged in developing and implementing drilling programs for the Mt. Kare property and smaller scale exploration and planning activities in respect of its Australian properties.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Mt. Kare

In October 2005, the Company was granted an option to acquire up to a 90% interest in the Mt. Kare Property, located in Papua New Guinea. The Mt. Kare Property is an epithermal gold deposit located in the highlands of Enga Province in Papua New Guinea.


To December 31, 2006, the Company spent $895,973 purchasing its interest in Mt. Kare and a further $7,167,000 on exploration activities. The Company expects to spend $11.4 million on exploration activities in 2007. As part of the purchase price, the Company issued a related party, Longview Capital Partners Limited (“Longview”) 17,000,000 common shares in March 2007 as described in Item 7B.


Gold FX Limited

In February 2006, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire all of the shares of Gold FX Limited (“Gold FX”), a private Australian company that owns gold properties and uranium exploration properties in Australia. The Company acquired Gold FX for 4,000,000 common shares with a value of $4,820,000. In addition, the Company incurred acquisition costs of $78,528 in connection with the purchase of Gold FX. The gold and uranium properties that the Company acquired were Corridors, Juntala, Golden Gate and Lake Amadeus / Lake Neal, which are described in further detail in Item 4D.


Murphy Ridge

In March 2006, the Company was granted an option by Global Discovery Pty. Limited (“Global”) to acquire a 100% interest in the Murphy Ridge uranium project in Australia. Buffalo signed a binding letter of intent on the Murphy Ridge project and paid Global an initial A$50,000 ($43,175) non-refundable payment that provided for a due diligence period that expired on October 11, 2006. On completion of the due diligence period the Company exercised its option and acquired 100% of the project by paying A$50,000 ($44,325) and issuing 73,592 common shares with a value of A$200,000 ($175,900) for total consideration of $263,400. The Company completed the purchase of Murphy Ridge by acquiring the issued shares of Canon Investments Pty Ltd., a company that owned the Murphy Ridge Project.


Hannah 1

In May 2006, the Company was granted an option to acquire a 100% interest in the Hannah 1 Nickel-Copper-PGE Project from Mel Dalla Costa, subject to a 5% net profit royalty.  In order to acquire its 100% interest in the Hannah 1 Project, the Company must pay Mr. Dalla Costa A$275,000 and issue 550,000 shares of the Company over a period of five years, spending not less than A$50,000 on exploration by June 24, 2006, which it did and paying Mr. Dalla Costa a final payment of A$20,000,000 on or before May 1, 2012.


Red Property

In July 2005, the Company entered into an option agreement with Gitennes Exportation Inc. (“Gitennes”) to acquire a 60% interest in six claims in the Omineca Mining Division in north-central British Columbia known as the Red Property. The Company spent $30,000 on the acquisition of the option and a further $7,001 in purchase-related costs. In June 2006, the Company terminated its option to acquire an interest in the Red Property in north-western British Columbia in order to focus on its Australasian exploration portfolio.

Kinbauri

In March and April 2007, the Company subscribed for 11,000,000 subscription receipts convertible into units of Kinbauri Gold Corp. ("Kinbauri") at $0.50 per unit for total consideration of $5,500,000. Each unit will consist of one common share and one-half common share purchase warrant, with each whole warrant exercisable into one common share at $0.70 per share for 18 months. These funds are in escrow pending receipt of TSX Venture Exchange approval of the acquisition by Kinbauri of certain mines and exploration properties in Spain. In the event that Kinbauri does not satisfy the escrow release conditions, the $5,500,000 investment will be returned to the Company.  Following conversion of the subscription receipts to units, it is expected that the Company’s interest in Kinbauri will be over 20%


Bondi Mining Ltd.

In May 2007, the Company signed a letter of intent to move all of its Australian uranium assets to Bondi Mining Ltd. in exchange for a 44% stake in that company. Under the terms of the arrangement, Bondi will acquire 100% of the Company’s Australian uranium portfolio, which is made up of 10 granted tenements and 13 applications totalling 15,085 square kilometres in three major uranium provinces in the Northern Territory and Queensland. In consideration for acquisition of the portfolio, Bondi will issue 25,000,000 of its fully paid ordinary shares to the Company along with 5,000,000 options to subscribe for ordinary shares at $0.60 per share with an exercise period of 24 months following execution of a definitive agreement for the proposed acquisition.


B.

Business Overview


Since the incorporation in March, 1998 of its predecessor company, Buffalo Diamonds Ltd. (“BDL”), the Company has been in the business of acquiring mineral properties.  See “Item 4D. Information on the Company - Property, Plants and Equipment” below.  The Company’s objective is the acquisition, exploration, exploration management, development and sale of mineral properties, with the primary aim of developing properties to a stage where they can be exploited for a profit.  


During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, the Company began pursuing gold exploration opportunities in the People’s Republic of China. In March 2004, the Company concluded that difficulties in securing property rights in China made exploration infeasible. Since March 2004, the Company has evaluated mineral properties in Canada and other countries and has secured interests in mineral properties in Papua New Guinea and Australia, described in Item 4A. To date, no major mineral findings have arisen as a result of exploration work on any of the Company’s properties. The Company has made strategic equity investments in publicly traded gold exploration companies with the signing of a letter of intent with Bondi, the Company signalled its intention to spin its uranium properties out into a separate company.


The current and future operations of the Company require various permits and approvals from various governmental authorities. Currently, the Company’s exploration activities are taking place in Papua New Guinea, where the principal governmental agency is the Department of Mining and in Australia, where the principal governmental agency is the Department of Natural Resources, mines and water.

EXPLORATION PROPERTIES - GOLD


Mt. Kare Property


The Mt. Kare property is located in Papua New Guinea and comprises two parts: exploration license EL1093, in which Buffalo has acquired an interest through Madison Minerals Inc. (“Madison”) as described below; and exploration license EL1427 which relates to surrounding lands. EL1093 and EL1427 were recently renewed and approved respectively.


On October 20, 2005, the Company entered into an option agreement with Longview to acquire up to a 90% interest in the Mt. Kare Property in Papua New Guinea. Longview holds an option from Madison to acquire up to a 100% interest of Madison’s 90% interest in the Mt. Kare Property. Longview is beneficially owned by one of the Company’s directors. One of the Company’s directors is also a director and shareholder of Madison. In addition, the Company paid Longview $200,000. Further to the October 20, 2005 agreement, in March 2007, the Company issued to Longview 17,000,000 common shares upon the Company having acquired the initial 49% interest in Madison PNG from Madison. These common shares are subject to a time-based release from escrow over 18 months from the earlier of (1) the date on which the company receives a preliminary feasibility study on the Mt. Kare property; and (2) the date that the company acquires any interest in Madison PNG.



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Buffalo Gold Ltd. 20-F   Page 20

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


In June 2006, Longview and Madison agreed to grant Buffalo an extension of certain dates for six months in consideration for the payment by Buffalo of $150,000. By December 31, 2006, the Company had paid all cash amounts.


A summary of the amended agreement terms are is as follows:

The Company will complete a preliminary feasibility study by July 4, 2007 and pay Madison, in cash or shares at Madison’s election, a total of $500,000 by October 1, 2006 on a quarterly basis to acquire a 49% interest in Madison Enterprises (PNG) Ltd. (“Madison PNG”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Madison that is the holder of the Mt. Kare Property.

The Company can acquire a further 2% interest (51% in the aggregate) by paying, in cash or shares at the Company’s election, a further $500,000 on or before August 15, 2007.

The Company can acquire a further 14% interest in Madison PNG (65% in the aggregate) by completing a bankable final feasibility study by July 4, 2008.

By December 31, 2006, the Company had paid all cash amounts. This acquisition required the approval of the Company’s shareholders, which was granted at a special general meeting held on March 6, 2006.


After acquiring at least a 65% interest, the Company will have the right to acquire the balance of Madison’s interest based on an independent valuation of Madison’s remaining interest for cash or shares of the Company or a combination of both. If the Company elects not to acquire Madison’s remaining interest, the Company and Madison will enter into a joint venture for the further development of the Mt. Kare Property.


In May 2007, Buffalo executed a letter of intent with Longview, Longview Capital Holdings Ltd. Madison, Madison Enterprises (BVI Inc.) and Madison Enterprises (PNG) Limited to amend the basis on which it will acquire a further interest in the Mt. Kare property.

a)

The Company will increase its interest in Madison Enterprises (PNG) Ltd. (which owns a 90% interest in the Mt. Kare property) to 60% on making a payment of $500,000, in cash or common shares at the Company’s option and issuing a further 3,000,000 common shares.

b)

The Company may increase its interest to 75% by completing a bankable feasibility study within four years of signing a definitive agreement. The Company is entitled to a one-year extension if it actively carries out exploration work at Mt. Kare and works towards the bankable feasibility study, spending at least $500,000 in each year of the four-year period.

c)

After the Company has earned a 75% interest, it may acquire the remaining 25% at fair market value.

The letter of intent will terminate if the parties do not reach a definitive agreement by June 30, 2007.


Buffalo is advised that there has been a lengthy and complicated history of litigation in the courts of Papua New Guinea relating to the respective mineral rights under the mining license EL 1093 and the Mt. Kare Special Mining Lease 1 (“SML 1”) which has involved, in various proceedings, Kare-Puga Development Corporation Pty Limited (“KDC”), Oakland and Ramsgate Resources NL (“Ramsgate”) as well as the Government of Papua New Guinea, Carpenter Pacific Resources NL (“Carpenter”), an Australian public company, and Matu Mining Ltd. (“Matu”), which were previous license holders.  The Company’s understanding of this history is as follows.



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Buffalo Gold Ltd. 20-F   Page 21

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



KDC and Oakland had a number of agreements relating to the exploration and exploitation of the alluvial mineral rights and, purportedly, the hardrock mineral rights which KDC claimed had been granted to KDC pursuant to the SML 1. In 1996, Carpenter and Matu entered into a conditional settlement agreement with Ramsgate and Oakland Limited (“Oakland”) in order to settle all of the outstanding litigation relating to the Mt. Kare Property (the “Settlement Agreement”).  As a result, Oakland became a one-third shareholder in Matu; litigation unresolved at the time of execution of the Settlement Agreement relating to the Mt. Kare Property was discontinued by all parties; all rights of Oakland in respect of its agreements with KDC relating to SML 1 and the alluvial activities thereon were assigned to Matu (and subsequently Madison).


The Settlement Agreement was subject to various conditions precedent, including approval by KDC. KDC gave its approval in March 1996 and Matu informed Madison that the other conditions precedent under the Settlement Agreement have been fulfilled or waived.  As a result of the Settlement Agreement, all outstanding litigation was settled.  In April of 1998, Oakland sold its interest in Matu to Carpenter.


On March 20, 1998, Madison, Madison PNG, Carpenter, Matu, Ramsgate, Oakland and KDC entered into a joint venture agreement (the “Joint Venture Agreement”) to govern future exploration and development of the Mt. Kare Property; this agreement and Madison’s interest in the Mt. Kare Property were both registered in April, 1998.  Madison, through its various subsidiaries, subsequently acquired a 100% legal interest in the Mt. Kare Property and it holds a 10% interest in the Mt. Kare Property in trust for KDC, resulting in Madison holding a 90% beneficial interest in the Mt. Kare Property.  KDC will, in turn, hold the interest in trust for the traditional landowners at Mt. Kare.


The Joint Venture Agreement is now only relevant to the extent that it defines the rights and obligations of Madison, and therefore the rights of and between Buffalo and KDC.  The Joint Venture Agreement provides that all costs up until the delivery of a feasibility report will be borne by Madison; KDC is obliged to pay its proportionate share of costs following the delivery of a feasibility report, failing which its interest will convert to a royalty interest equal to 10% of net profits. The Joint Venture Agreement received the ministerial approval required under the Mining Act of 1992 (Papua New Guinea) on April 17, 1998.


Location, Access and Physiography


Papua New Guinea (“PNG”) covers an area roughly the same size as the state of California. It has a population of about 4.5 million people, and it contains a number of large, well-established gold and gold/copper mines that are producing. The country lies directly east of Irian Jaya (Indonesia) and 160 kilometres due north of Australia. PNG is an independent democratic state with a government based on the British parliamentary system. The PNG government encourages mining and petroleum development, which dominate the national economy and provide 72% of export revenues. The Mt. Kare Property is comprised of exploration license EL1093, covering 220 square kilometres in the central highlands of mainland PNG at 3,000 metres above sea level. Current exploration work at Mt. Kare is helicopter supported; however a road comes within three kilometres of the Mt. Kare Property boundary and a high voltage power transmission line crosses the southeastern corner of the Mt. Kare Property.

Plant and Equipment


At present, there are no underground workings at the Mt. Kare Property. There are some camp structures that are not significant.


Regional and Local Geology


PNG forms part of an island arc; it is located in an area where plates of the earth's crust have interacted in recent geological times. The Mt. Kare Property deposit occur at a point where large scale northwest-southeast structures running parallel to the island arc are intersected by the northeast-southwest trending Porgera Transfer Structure, a very important regional feature controlling gold mineralization in this area. The intersection of these two major structures has produced a conduit from the upper mantle along which a unique suite of mineralized mafic intrusives have risen. These mafic intrusive rocks are closely related to all known gold mineralization in this area. At the Mt. Kare Property, epithermal gold mineralization is genetically related to a mafic intrusive complex that was emplaced within the Porgera Transfer Structure. The emplacement of these intrusives at the Mt. Kare Property produced zones of brecciation and shattered rock, providing a plumbing network through which mineralized fluids have circulated and deposited gold. Mafic intrusive rocks of the unique age and composition of those at the Mt. Kare Property are not known to occur anywhere else in Papua New Guinea.


Mineralization


There are two distinct types of gold mineralization at Mt. Kare:

 

Early, mesothermal, carbonate-base metal-gold mineralization, which occurs in broad zones of brecciation which trend NE, paralleling the Porgera Transfer Structure. This type of mineralization has been defined in several zones at Mt. Kare and has been tested in trenches and numerous drill holes, such as hole 97 M-17.


Late stage, epithermal, very high grade quartz-roscoelite-gold mineralization. The high grade quartz-roscoelite-gold mineralization occurs in fault controlled dilatant features occurring within and proximal to the breccia zones which host carbonate-base metal-gold mineralization. These dilatant features can occur in variable orientations within the Porgera Transfer Structure.


At Mt. Kare, much of the gold is tied-up in pyrite and is therefore refractory to conventional cyanide extraction. Madison contracted the Placer Dome Research Laboratory to carry out initial metallurgical testing on the Mt. Kare mineralization. The results were very encouraging and achieved gold recoveries, after pressure oxidation, between 90.0 and 95.5%.



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Buffalo Gold Ltd. 20-F   Page 24

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Mineralization defined to date at Mt. Kare occurs in the Western Roscoelite, Central, Black and C9 zones. The currently known high grade Quartz-Roscoelite-Gold mineralization at Mt. Kare occurs in the Western Roscoelite Zone, which strikes NNE and dips 65° to the east. The zone has now been traced along strike for over 700 metres by drilling and shows excellent continuity of mineralization. Soil geochemistry shows the surface trace of the Western Roscoelite Zone extending for up to 1,500 metres, and open along strike in both directions. Six hundred metres east of and sub-parallel to the Western Roscoelite Zone is the 1600 metre long multi-element Black Zone. It has now been traced over 500 metres by drilling and over 1,500 metres by soil geochemistry and trenching. The zone is still open down-dip. The Central Zone is a continuous, flat-lying, near surface mineralized zone lying between and above the Black and Western Roscoelite zones. It covers an area 300 metres wide by 600 metres long and remains open to expansion to the northeast.


Exploration History


Gold mineralization was first discovered on the Mt. Kare Property in 1986 by CRA Exploration during a regional stream sediment sampling program. At that time, Mt. Kare was an uninhabited subalpine valley where local people occasionally came to hunt. CRA's activities on the property attracted the attention of local people who found abundant alluvial and colluvial gold in the area. Over the next several years, a major gold rush took place on the property with an estimated one million ounces of gold being recovered from alluvial and colluvial deposits by up to 10,000 people working the field. CRA continued with its hardrock exploration program, including drilling 32 diamond drill holes. In addition, CRA acquired a portion of the alluvial gold rights through a joint venture with the local landowners, built a plant and started small-scale production of colluvial and alluvial gold. However, carrying out exploration and alluvial mining in the middle of a major gold rush proved to be very difficult at Mt. Kare. Relations between CRA and the landowners deteriorated to a point where CRA decided to abandon the property and in 1993 it allowed its exploration license to lapse.


Exploration - Recent Results


Madison became involved in the Mt. Kare Property in 1996 and since then has completed 36,934 metres of diamond drilling, in addition to completing extensive programs of airborne and ground geophysics, soil geochemistry, mapping and trenching. The Mt. Kare resource estimate was prepared on behalf of Madison Enterprises Corporation by Watts Griffis and McOuat (“WGM”) in November of 1998 and updated by WGM in January of 2000, prior to the implementation of Canadian National Instrument 43-101 (“Canadian NI 43-101”).  As such, this estimate is not compliant with current Canadian NI 43-101 standards and therefore can no longer be disclosed.


In October 2006, the Company announced it had completed its previously announced infill diamond drill program that targeted the Western Roscoelite zone (“WRZ”). The Company has since then completed and released the results from the first stage of its infill drill program in January 2007, including 112.0 metres of 5.04 g/t in hole MK06-84, including 25.0 metres of 13.86 g/t gold, and 100.9 metres of 1.56 g/t gold in hole MK06-75, including 25.9 metres of 2.25 g/t gold.

All holes reported here are located in the WRZ, at the Mt. Kare Property, PNG and represent the last of the infill drill holes from the first stage of the program that was completed in November, 2006. A summary of drill intersections can be found in Table 1. The Company is on schedule for completing its Stage 2 Preliminary Economic Feasibility Study (the “Study”) at Mt. Kare by June 2007 and will continue to drill closely spaced holes in areas of known mineralization to increase the level of confidence in the data and test extents of mineralization. These results will also be used in recalculated resource estimates to be released in conjunction with the Study.

The Company has been modelling the results reported to date and has deemed that all reported intersections, including those in Table 1, approximate true widths. Silver results in Table 1 are similar to the range of results from the 2006 drill program results, which ranged from approximately 1 to 100 g/t. Gold and silver results received to date from the 2006 drill program are posted on the Mt. Kare section of the Company’s website.


All samples were analysed for gold by PT Intertek Utama Services in Jakarta, part of an internationally recognized lab testing group with ISO 17025 accreditation at the Jakarta facility. Samples were analysed using a 50g fire assay with AA finish for gold and an aqua regia digestion with ICP-OES finish for silver.


GPX Airborne, on behalf of the Company, has now completed a 330 line, 4000 kilometre airborne geophysical survey over the 220 square kilometre Mt. Kare property and the adjacent 140 square kilometre 100%-owned EL 1427 property. Results from previous airborne geophysical surveys have successfully identified magnetic anomalies and related structures, with which the known mineralization at Mt. Kare is associated. The new surveys will be used to identify additional magnetic anomalies and define exploration and drilling targets.


In conjunction with the expansion of the drilling program, Buffalo has augmented its geological team to assist with the exploration at Mt. Kare. Mr. Andrew Habets has joined the Company to supervise exploration programs at the license area and the existing Mt. Kare property and Mr. Stuart Munroe will be the principal consultant to assist in the geological interpretation on the Mt. Kare project, contracted through SRK Consulting in Sydney.


Proposed Exploration


During 2007, the Company intends to undertake the following work at Mt. Kare:


The mineralization at the Mt. Kare Property and Barrick’s adjacent Porgera Mine property is associated with a number of magnetic anomalies related to intrusions controlled by major structures. Numerous features outside of the main Mt. Kare resource area can be recognized in the aeromagnetic data covering the Mt. Kare exploration license and have been identified as high priority exploration targets:


North Anomaly - lies completely outside of the known resource, directly north of the North Western Roscoelite Zone where recent drilling returned assay results of 30.0 metres at 19.2 g/t gold in hole MK06-58, and other outstanding results (see prior Buffalo news releases).

Red Hill - situated north-east of the North WRZ of the Mt. Kare deposit along the Porgera Transfer Structure, with an outcropping intrusive and associated brecciation, alteration and current artisanal gold workings.

Lubu Creek - lies approximately seven kilometres from the Mt. Kare deposit and features a magnetic anomaly coincident with known alluvial gold. Buffalo has completed a 263 sample stream sediment program at the Lubu Creek area that returned results ranging from 2 to 193 ppb. This data defines a high priority target together with a number of low level anomalous zones which are being further investigated by soil and pan concentrate sampling.

Pinuni Creek – sits along the Porgera Transfer Structure, covered by gold bearing colluvium with historic artisanal gold workings and has several associated magnetic anomalies.



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Buffalo Gold Ltd. 20-F   Page 29

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The Company’s exploration team has further delineated the gold zone in the vicinity of the Mt. Kare base camp. “Luke’s Zone” has been tested by trenching and returned very encouraging results. Buffalo plans to drill test this area as part of the exploration drill program.


In addition to the many magnetic and surface anomalies on the Mt. Kare Property, Buffalo is planning to drill test its new 100%-owned license area (EL 1427) which is adjacent to the Mt. Kare Property.


In 2006 the Company completed an infill drilling program including 64 diamond drill holes for a total of approximately 9,000 metres. The resulting data has been used to update the geological model and resource estimate, as part of the Type 2 Economic Pre-feasibility study required for the Company’s earn-in to a 49% interest of the Mt. Kare Property. The modeling and estimate were completed by Longview Technical and are being validated by Snowden Mining Consultants as the Qualified Persons and author of the previous NI 43-101 report released in March 2006.


The Company has completed part of its 2007 exploration program initially estimated at $11.4 million. This was to include up to 12,000 metres of drilling in 60 holes, detailed geophysics, surface sampling and an assortment of other studies. The Company is evaluating drill results with the result that some of these expenditures will be deferred to 2008.


A detailed aeromagnetic survey has been completed over the Mt. Kare Property and the contiguous 100% owned property. The initial survey interpretations are very encouraging, identifying prominent structures, alteration and possible clusters of intrusions (which are the drivers of mineralization at the Mt Kare & Porgera deposits) on both properties.


Several new drill targets have been identified by combining the aeromagnetic data with detailed geology and structural interpretations provided by Stuart Munroe of SRK Consulting. These targets include an interpreted blind extension of the Western Roscoelite Zone to the north of recent drilling and potential down-plunge continuation of the Black Zone towards the C9 Zone. In addition, while drilling to date at the Western Roscoelite Zone has been limited to depths of approximately 200 metres, geological interpretations indicate the possibility of a separate, high grade phase of quartz roscoelite mineralization at depth.


We had three drill rigs operating on site, but these are currently inactive pending evaluation of our drill results. Results from the first two drill holes at Red Hill have been received, but drilling did not intersect any significant mineralization. Due to the large size of the target at Red Hill Buffalo plans to review the area in more detail utilizing the new geophysical data prior to continuing to drill the target.


Corridors

Description

On the 100% owned Corridors Project, the Company is targeting high-grade epithermal gold deposits. The Company has secured an agreement with BHP Billiton for exclusive use of a recently flown FALCONTM survey. This airborne gravity gradiometer data has been valuable in highlighting quality targets.


Situated in the Drummond Basin the Corridors Gold Project has been the subject of a detailed surface geochemical sampling program. The program has identified two strong gold anomalies that will be followed-up by a shallow drill program to be commenced in August 2007.



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Buffalo Gold Ltd. 20-F   Page 30

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Work to Date

Corridors was the subject of a detailed surface sampling program by the Company in 2006 and follow-up program in early 2007. The program identified two strong gold anomalies.

Planned Work

The Company plans to follow up on the gold anomalies at the Corridors project using a shallow drill program to be conducted in August 2007. The 2007 budget for exploration work is $199,000.


Oakland Park and Golden Gate

Description

Interpretation of geophysical data has resulted in the recognition of the potential extension of the Croydon Goldfield in Queensland, to the northwest of the Company’s Golden Gate Project. A new 100% Company title, named Oakland Park, has been lodged over the area which has received limited prior exploration due to a likely thin cover of sediments. Major structure is evident in the magnetics data, which strikes from Oakland Park into the contiguous Golden Gate Project..

Work to Date

The Company has not completed any surface work to date on the Oakland Park property other than geophysical interpretation.  Work at Golden Gate has comprised collation of previous drill data for the definition of drill targets.

Planned Work

The work plan for 2007 will include a drilling program for both properties. The work budget for 2007 is $250,000.


EXPLORATION PROPERTIES – URANIUM


As described in Item 4.B above, the Company has entered into an agreement to transfer all of its uranium assets to Bondi Mining Ltd. (“Bondi Mining”) in exchange for a 44% stake in that company.


Murphy Ridge

Description

The Company was granted an option, and subsequently acquired a 100% interest in the Murphy Ridge Project located in the north-east part of the Northern Territory of Australia.


The Murphy Ridge project comprises five strategically placed exploration permits covering approximately 4,900 square kilometres. The Company has completed an airborne electromagnetic (EM) survey over the Murphy Ridge uranium property. The survey results identify numerous strong conductive and radiometric signatures. The Company plans to follow up these results with a detailed surface sampling program.


Australia ranks first in the world in known recoverable resources of uranium with 28% of the total. By contrast, Canada ranks third with 14%, but has a leading position in world mine output with 30% of global supply.



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Buffalo Gold Ltd. 20-F   Page 31

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The Company signed a binding letter of intent on the Murphy Ridge Project and paid an initial A$50,000 non-refundable payment that provided for a due diligence period that expired on October 11, 2006. On completion of the due diligence period, the Company exercised its option and acquired 100% of the project by issuing Global 200,000 shares and agreeing to make a further payment of A$50,000 on the anniversary date of the option exercise.

Work to Date

The Company has completed an airborne EM survey over the Murphy Ridge uranium property. The survey results identify numerous strong conductive and radiometric signatures.

Planned Work

Following execution of a letter of intent with Bondi Mining, the Company does not plan to carry out any further work on this project and Bondi Mining will assume the responsibility.


Maureen North


The Maureen North uranium-gold project is comprised of thirteen 100% owned exploration permit applications which cover more than 4,000 square kilometres with potential for hosting uranium and gold deposits in the Georgetown-Townsville uranium field of Queensland.

Work to Date

In late 2006, the Company began a comprehensive integration and review of the available airborne magnetics/radiometrics and gravity data over the whole property and immediate surrounds with the aim of confirming targets for drill testing. This review has identified several areas which occur in geological and structural settings that warrant further investigation.

Planned Work

The Company does not plan to carry out any further work on this project and the responsibility will be assumed by Bondi Mining.


Juntala

Description

The 100% owned Juntala Project is an exploration licence application covering approximately 800 square kilometres and is located in the Georgetown-Townsville uranium field.


A high amplitude uranium channel radiometric anomaly strikes for over 35 kilometres within the basement rocks of the Juntala Project area. Technical review of the project has highlighted the potential of the area for a sandstone-hosted roll-front uranium deposit within the package of sedimentary rocks. This package has over 50 kilometres of strike length of favourable sedimentary rocks.


The Company’s program involves initial research of existing data, followed by geophysical surveys and exploration drilling to locate and define ancient river channels.


Work to Date

Lake Amadeus and Lake Neal

Description

The 100% owned Lake Amadeus and Lake Neal Projects in the Northern Territory have potential for a sedimentary uranium deposit in calcrete or clays, similar to deposits found in Western Australia.


The Lake Amadeus and Lake Neal Projects are comprised of three exploration licence applications covering over 2,000 square kilometres with high amplitude surface uranium anomalies striking for in excess of 60 kilometres. The Company has interpreted the uranium channel within the detailed radiometrics data available and identified more than 20 anomalies.


The Company has filed applications for consents to explore the exploration with the relevant Land Council.

Work to Date

The Company has not yet undertaken any exploration work on these properties.

Planned Work

The Company does not plan to carry out any further work on this project and the responsibility will be assumed by Bondi Mining.


Eromanga


Eight exploration permits were granted in September 2006 over 100 kilometres of stratigraphy prospective for sedimentary-hosted uranium deposits in Central Queensland. Radiometrics data show numerous discrete, high-amplitude U channel anomalies along this trend. Individual anomalies have strike lengths of several kilometres.


Sampling of available core from a stratigraphic hole drilled previously by a government department, returned peak values of anomalous uranium up to 20ppm. Strong Molybdenum (116ppm) and Vanadium (763ppm) are associated with the uranium.

Work to Date

In 2006, the Company staked this property and completed surface scintillometer surveys. These surveys indicted that further work is not warranted.

Planned Work

The Company will not be undertaking further work on the Eromanga property.


EXPLORATION PROPERTIES - NICKEL


Hannah 1

Description

The Hannah 1 target was first discovered by a major Australian mining company, but drill testing failed to reach target due to technical difficulties. From geophysical modelling, the target depth had been estimated to be at 450 metres. The Company holds one granted and three exploration licence applications along the Fraser Mobile Belt, covering the Hannah 1 target and five other significant targets in surrounding areas.



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Buffalo Gold Ltd. 20-F   Page 33

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The Hannah 1 Project is located along major structure, approximately 400 kilometres southeast of Kalgoorlie, along the margin of the Fraser Mobile Belt, with an interpreted Archaean Greenstone terrane to the east. Regionally this area had character in magnetics data that suggests it could contain several significant deposits hosted by mafic rocks.


Work to Date

The Company completed a single deep diamond drill hole at the Hannah base metal prospect. The hole intersected disseminated sulphides at the target depth of 425 metres, with the zone continuing for more than 200 metres. Assay results from the core were not anomalous even with the presence of pyrite. Petrographic work on the samples determined that the environment was not ideal to host nickel, platinum group metals or other base metals of economic interests.  Further drilling is not required and two of the titles have been dropped.

Planned Work

Following evaluation of drill results, the Company has decided to stop work on this property.



EXPLORATION PROPERTIES – SILVER & BASE METALS


Woodmurra

Description

This project is considered to be a prospective silver-zinc-lead deposit. The permit applications are 100% owned by the Company and comprise a new project area named Woodmurra, which is located approximately 50 kilometres east of Oodnadatta, SA and 300 kilometres northwest of the giant Olympic Dam copper-gold-uranium mine.

The two permit applications cover an area of approximately 1,960 square kilometres of an unexplored terrane prospective for buried large silver-zinc-lead deposits. Only one previous drill-hole has tested the basement in the immediate vicinity of the Company’s permit applications and encountered high grade metamorphic rock types which would be expected in a sequence that hosts large base metal deposits.  To the west of the permit applications, the outcropping rocks contain unusual garnet-bearing rocks which are also a hallmark indicator of a prospective sequence.

Work to Date

The Company completed a detailed geophysical interpretation of the area defining areas of interest for focused ground work and drilling.


Planned Work

The Company proposes to joint venture the project which may include a program of detailed ground gravity followed by ground magnetics and drill testing of a range of targets in 4 to 5 holes. The 2007 exploration budget for Woodmurra is $25,000.

Red River

Description

This project is considered to be prospective for very large Potosi-style silver-tin deposits.

Six new permit applications are 100% owned by the Company and comprise a new project area named Red River, which is located north and west of the North Maureen project.

The six permit applications cover an area of approximately 1,497 square kilometres of an unexplored terrane prospective for buried large silver-zinc-lead deposits.  Drilling by a competitor exploration company has confirmed the prospectivity if this terrane with a significant intersection of 133m grading 18.3 g/t Ag, 0.15% Sn, 1.1% Zn and 0.36% Cu beneath younger cover sediments.

Work to Date

The Company completed a detailed geophysical interpretation of the area defining 16 target areas of interest for focused ground work and drilling.

Planned Work

The Company proposes to progress these applications through to grant in 2007. The 2007 exploration budget for Woodmurra is $5,000.



Red Property, British Columbia, Canada


In June 2006, the Company terminated its option to acquire an interest in the Red Property in north-western British Columbia in order to focus on its Australasian exploration portfolio.

Exploration Expenses


In the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company spent $7,887,000 on exploration activities. Of this amount, $7,167,000 was incurred developing the Mt. Kare Property. In addition to the ongoing camp expenses at Mt. Kare, the Company planned and undertook an extensive drilling program, the results of which are summarized above. The exploration activities on other properties were much more limited, with the most effort being expended on the Hannah 1, where the Company spent $279,000. Exploration expenses for the year ended 2005 were $400,000.


The Company expects that exploration expenditures will increase in fiscal 2007 as additional drilling rigs are placed into action and the camp is expanded at Mt. Kare.


Administrative Expenses


In the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company incurred administrative expenses of $6,684,000 compared to $1,018,000 in the year ended December 31, 2005. In the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company’s activity was limited to fulfilling its public company obligations and investigating properties with three part-time personnel. By December 31, 2006, the Company had ten personnel of whom three were engaged full-time on the Company’s activities. Of the $6,684,000 in administrative expenses, $3,883,000 was stock-based compensation.


The most significant increases in operating expenses were personnel related: consulting fees increased from $151,000 in the year ended December 31, 2005 to $872,000 in the year ended December 31, 2006. Investor relations increased from $nil in 2005 to $735,000 in 2006 as the Company communicated corporate developments to the investment community. The Company incurred $3,883,000 in stock-based compensation expense associated with the award of stock options to directors, employees and contractors, compared to $661,000 in 2006. The increase in expenses for year end was a function of the increased activity, as discussed above for the period.


Administrative expenses, excluding stock-based compensation are a little higher in the fourth quarter of 2006 due to year-end accruals. The Company expects that administrative expenses in 2007 will be broadly comparable to 2006.


Other Items


During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company did not have any interest-bearing debt. During the fiscal year 2006, the Company earned $286,000 from funds held in term deposits. In fiscal year 2005, the Company earned $8,000 of interest income.


During the second quarter, the Company acquired shares of Solomon Gold PLC. The shares of Solomon Gold are publicly traded on the London Stock Exchange. Between the date of purchase and December 31, 2006, the value of the Company’s investment decreased by $141,000, of which $34,000 has been recognized as an expense in the fourth quarter.


In 2003, the Company undertook exploration activities in China which were not successful. Subsequently the Company obtained promissory notes in respect to reimbursement of due diligence costs. In 2005, the Company fully provided for doubtful collection of the final promissory note as it was past due. In the second quarter, the Company recovered $54,000 on account of the promissory note (principal balance of $47,500) and accrued interest.

Net Loss


The net loss for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $13,671,000 or $0.42 per share as compared with a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2005 of $1,400,000 or $0.14 per share.


Change in Financial Position


At December 31, 2006, the Company had total assets of $28,822,000 as compared to $3,801,000 at December 31, 2005. The change in total assets is due primarily to (1) net proceeds from private placements and the exercise of warrants and options of approximately $27 million; and (2) issuance of common shares for the purchase of Gold FX, offset by cash expenditures on operating and investing activities.


On a net basis, operating activities in the year ended December 31, 2006 consumed cash of $10,176,000 compared to $507,000 for the comparative period in 2005. Of the $13,671,000 loss for the period, $3,883,000 related to stock-based compensation, $393,000 to the write down of marketable securities and $22,000 to the amortization of Company’s property, plant and equipment, none of which consumed cash. Furthermore, the Company’s accounts payable increased by $421,000 to $916,000 in the year ended December 31, 2006 period, largely due to payments made on accruals associated with drilling costs on the Mt. Kare Property.


In the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company provided $27,425,000 of cash from financing activities, net of commissions and legal fees from the April and September 2006 private placements. In the comparative period, the Company provided $4,121,000 of cash from financing activities.


Buffalo used $19,415,000 in investing activities in the year ended December 31, 2006. In the comparative period the Company used $227,000 of cash in investing activities. Most of the cash used in investing activities related to the purchase of marketable securities ($18,424,000), for acquisition of exploration properties ($735,000), largely associated with option payments for Mt. Kare and for acquisition of a subsidiaries ($115,000). Full particulars are provided in the notes to the financial statements.


The Company had a cash balance of $1,369,000 at December 31, 2006, as compared to a cash balance of $3,542,000 at December 31, 2005.


Year Ended December 31, 2005


In this discussion of the Company’s results of operations and financial condition, financial amounts, other than per-share amounts, have been rounded to the nearest thousand dollars.


The loss for the year ended December 31, 2005 was $1,400,000 compared to a loss of $81,000 in the prior year. The Company spent $1,419,000 on operations, $1,214,000 of which was spent in the fourth quarter. For the first two quarters of 2005, the Company was relatively inactive as it evaluated prospective properties. The large increase in expenditures in the year ended December 31, 2005 reflects the reactivation of the Company on the TSX Venture Exchange, exploration activity on the Mt. Kare and Red Properties, along with consulting fees and stock-based compensation.  



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Buffalo Gold Ltd. 20-F   Page 37

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The Company spent $275,000 on a drilling program for the Red Property and $126,000 maintaining the Mt. Kare Property.  Administrative expenses increased from $154,000 in 2004 to $1,018,000 in 2005. The largest elements of the increase were stock-based compensation (2005 - $661,000; 2004 - $nil) and consulting fees (2005 - $151,000; 2004 - $33,000). Consulting fees increased as new management staff were hired.


There were several other income and expense items that were not of a recurring nature. The Company recorded a $14,000 gain on the settlement of accounts payable and a $58,000 gain on the settlement of a loan payable. In 2004, the Company accrued a $95,000 gain on recovery of evaluation and due diligence costs.  By December 31, 2005, the Company had collected only half this amount and provided for the balance ($48,000) as being uncollectible. The Company continues to seek payment of this amount.


At December 31, 2005, the Company had total assets of $3,801,000 as compared to $207,000 at December 31, 2004. The increase was due primarily to cash generated from private placements, less amounts spent on operations and settlement of debts. On a net basis, operations for the year consumed cash of $507,000 compared to $18,000 in 2004. The operating loss of $1,400,000 was the largest element of cash flows from operating activities, offset by non-cash items including stock-based compensation ($661,000), the gain on settlement of loans payable ($58,000) and the provision for doubtful collection of a note receivable ($48,000) and by net working capital cash flows, including a $277,000 increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, which did not require cash flow.


Buffalo generated $4,121,000 from financing activities in the year ended December 31, 2005, with $3,446,000 of that happening in the fourth quarter. Proceeds from private placements of $4,482,000 were offset by share issue costs of $325,000 and the Company used $36,000 to repay loans payable.


The Company used $227,000 of cash in investing activities in the year ended December 31, 2005, with $222,000 being used in the purchase of exploration properties.


In aggregate, the Company generated cash of $3,386,000 in the year ended December 31, 2005, of which $2,990,000 was generated in the fourth quarter. The Company had a cash balance of $3,542,000 at December 31, 2005.


The net loss for the year ended December 31, 2005 was $1,400,000 or $0.14 per share as compared with a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2004 of $81,000 or $0.02 per share.


Year Ended December 31, 2004


In our discussion of results of operations and financial condition, amounts, other than per-share amounts, have been rounded to the nearest hundred dollars.


In the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company incurred expenses of $154,000 supporting its operations, down from $800,600 in the year ended December 31, 2003. The Company was active in China during the third quarter of 2003, but following termination of its Chinese activities in early 2004, the Company incurred fewer expenses. Most expenses were significantly lower than in 2003, with consulting fees down from $161,200 to $33,100, property investigation costs down from $294,300 to $nil and professional fees down from $122,300 to $63,700. The decline in expenses reflected the lower level of corporate activity after the Chinese activities stopped.



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Buffalo Gold Ltd. 20-F   Page 38

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The Company incurred interest expense of $52,200 on loans payable. Of this amount, $22,300 is a recurring expense expected to continue until the loan was paid out and $29,900 relates to a share bonus payable in connection with the loan. Subsequent to year end, the Company reached a settlement with the holders of the loans payable.


In 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. The Company conducted property evaluations 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 several promissory notes totalling $100,000.  The promissory notes, each for $50,000, fell due on July 30, 2004 and December 31, 2004 respectively, bearing interest at the rate of 10% per year after their due dates. The present value of these promissory notes was $95,000 at the date of issue. This amount was recognized as a recovery of property evaluation and due diligence costs in the three months ended March 31, 2004.  The Company collected $50,000 on July 30, 2004 and $2,500 in April 2005. In 2004, the Company recognized interest of $5,100, being the implicit interest earned at a rate of 10% from March 31, 2004.


The net loss for the year ended December 31, 2004 was $80,700 or $0.02 per share as compared with a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2003 of $960,400 or $0.28 per share.



B.

Liquidity and Capital Resources


The Company's exploration activities have been funded through the sale of share capital and the Company expects that it will continue to be able to utilize this source of financing until it develops cash flow from its operations. There are no assurances that the Company can continue to obtain such financings; failure to obtain funding would result in the curtailment of exploration activities until such financing could be obtained.


In April 2006, the Company completed a brokered private placement of 3,565,000 units at a price of US$1.00 per unit to generate gross proceeds of $4,100,000 to fund exploration work and for working capital.


In September 2006, the Company completed a brokered private placement of 11,428,700 units at US$1.75 per unit to generate gross proceeds of $22,182,000 to complete the exploration program across the company’s licenses in Papua New Guinea, as well as complete the current drill program, the pre-feasibility and feasibility study for the Mt. Kare Property.


In June 2006, the Company collected $54,000 that was due in respect of a note receivable.

In the year ended December 31, 2006, warrant holders exercised warrants to purchase 3,925,290 common shares at between US$0.50 and US$1.25 to generate proceeds of approximately $2.54 million.


At December 31, 2006, the Company’s working capital position was $19,577,000, up from $3,112,000 at December 31, 2005 due primarily to private placements in April and September 2006.


After December 31, 2006, warrant holders exercised warrants to purchase 215,457 common shares at between US$0.50 and US$1.25 per share and option holders exercised options to purchase 275,000 common shares at between US$0.35 and US$0.375 per share.



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Buffalo Gold Ltd. 20-F   Page 39

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




At December 31, 2006, the Company had sufficient resources to fund its operations for the next 12 months, but subsequently undertook investments that will require it to raise further funds.


There are no restrictions on the ability of subsidiaries to transfer funds to the Company. The Company has not made any commitments for capital expenditures, although it must make minimum option payments in respect of the Hannah 1 property if it wishes to maintain its options:

In addition, the Company is committed to issuing common shares, as discussed in “Item 4D. Property, Plants and Equipment – Mt. Kare Property”.


Apart from the initiatives discussed above, the Company is not aware of any trends, commitments or events that may affect its liquidity in the foreseeable future. Material increases or decreases in the Company's liquidity will be substantially determined by the success or failure of raising additional funds through private placements and its planned exploration on its properties.

We expect that expenses may increase in future quarters depending on the outcome of existing exploration and investment initiatives.

Mt. Kare Property

On October 20, 2005, the Company entered into an option agreement with Longview Capital Partners Limited to acquire up to a 90% interest in the Mt. Kare Property in Papua New Guinea. Longview holds an option from Madison to acquire up to a 100% interest of Madison’s 90% interest in the Mt. Kare Property. Longview is beneficially owned by one of the Company’s directors. One of the Company’s directors is also a director and shareholder of Madison.

In order to acquire its interest in the Mt. Kare Property, the Company will assume Longview’s obligations under its agreement with Madison as follows:


The Company will complete a preliminary feasibility study by January 4, 2007 and pay Madison, in cash or shares at Madison’s election, a total of $500,000 by October 1, 2006 on a quarterly basis to acquire a 49% interest in Madison Enterprises (PNG) Ltd. (“Madison PNG”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Madison that is the holder of the Mt. Kare Property. The Company paid $100,000 to Madison in 2005 and a further $200,000 in 2006.

The Company can acquire a further 2% interest (51% in the aggregate) by paying, in cash or shares at the Company’s election, a further $500,000 on or before February 15, 2007.

The Company can acquire a further 14% interest in Madison PNG (65% in the aggregate) by completing a bankable final feasibility study by July 4, 2008.

 

After acquiring at least a 51% interest, the Company will have the right to acquire the balance of Madison’s interest based on an independent valuation of Madison’s remaining interest for cash or shares of the Company or a combination of both. If the Company elects not to acquire Madison’s remaining interest, the Company and Madison will enter into a joint venture for the further development of Mt. Kare.


The Company issued 17,000,000 common shares to Longview upon the Company having acquired the initial 49% interest in Madison PNG from Madison. In addition, the Company agreed to pay Longview $200,000 in blocks of $50,000 on signing of the acquisition agreement and every three months thereafter until paid, which payments have been made.

c)

After the Company has earned a 75% interest, it may acquire the remaining 25% at fair market value.

Dynasty Merger

In March 2007, the Company entered into a letter of intent with Dynasty Gold Corp.

Exchange Controls


There are no governmental laws, decrees or regulations in Canada relating to restrictions on the export or import of capital, or affecting the remittance of interest, dividends or other payments to non-resident holders of the Company’s common shares.  Any remittances of dividends to United States residents are, however, subject to a 15% withholding tax (5% if the shareholder is a corporation owning at least 10% of the outstanding common shares of the Company) pursuant to Article X of the reciprocal tax treaty between Canada and the United States.  See “Item 10E. Additional Information – Taxation” below.  


Except as provided in the Investment Canada Act (the “Act”), which has provisions which govern the acquisition of a control block of voting shares by non-Canadians of a corporation carrying on a Canadian business, there are no limitations specific to the rights of non-Canadians to hold or vote the common shares of the Company under the laws of Canada or the Province of British Columbia or in the charter documents of the Company.


Management of the Company considers that the following general summary fairly describes those provisions of the Act pertinent to an investment in the Company by a person who is not a Canadian resident (a “non-Canadian”).


The Act requires a non-Canadian making an investment which would result in the acquisition of  control of the Canadian business to notify the Investment Review Division of Industry Canada, the federal agency created by the Act; or in the case of an acquisition of a Canadian business, the gross value of the assets of which exceeds certain threshold levels or the business activity of which is related to Canada’s cultural heritage of national identity, to file an application for review with the Investment Review Division.  


The notification procedure involves a brief statement of information about the investment on a prescribed form which is required to be filed with Investment Canada by the investor at any time up to 30 days following implementation of the investment.  Once the completed notice has been filed, a receipt bearing the certificate date will be issued to the non-Canadian investor.  The receipt must advise the investor either that the investment proposal is unconditionally non-reviewable or that the proposal will not be reviewed as long as notice of review is not issued within 21 days of the date certified under the receipt.  It is intended that investments requiring only notification will proceed without government intervention unless the investment is in a specific type of business activity related to Canada’s cultural heritage and national identity.


If an investment is reviewable under the Act, an order for review must be issued within 21 days after the certified date on which notice of investment was received.  An application for review in the form prescribed is required to be filed with Investment Canada prior to the investment taking place.  Once the application has been filed, a receipt will be issued to the applicant, certifying the date on which the application was received.  For incomplete applications, a deficiency notice will be sent to the applicant, and if not done within 15 days of receipt of application, the application will be deemed to be complete as of the date it was received.  Within 45 days after the complete application has been received, the Minister responsible for the Investment Canada Act must notify the potential investor that the Minister is satisfied that the investment is likely to be of net benefit to Canada.  If within such 45-day period the Minister is unable to complete the review, the Minister has an additional 30 days to complete the review, unless the applicant agrees to a longer period.  Within such additional period, the Minister must advise either that he is satisfied or not satisfied that the investment is likely to be of net benefit to Canada.  If the time limits have elapsed, the Minister will be deemed to be satisfied that the investment is likely to be of net benefit to Canada.  The investment may not be implemented until the review has been completed and the Minister is satisfied that the investment is likely to be of net benefit to Canada.



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Buffalo Gold Ltd. 20-F   Page 58

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



If the Minister is not satisfied that the investment is likely to be of net benefit to Canada, the non-Canadian must not implement the investment or, if the investment has been implemented, could be penalized by being required to divest himself of control of the business that is the subject of the investment.  To date, the only types of business activities which have been prescribed by regulation as related to Canada’s cultural heritage or national identity deal largely with publication, film and music industries.  Because the Company’s total assets are less than the $5 million notification threshold, and because the Company’s business activities would likely not be deemed related to Canada’s cultural heritage or national identity, acquisition of a controlling interest in the Company by a non-Canadian investor would not be subject to even the notification requirements under the Investment Canada Act.  


The following investments by non-Canadians are subject to notification under the Act:


1.

an investment to establish a new Canadian business; and

2.

an investment to acquire control of a Canadian business that is not reviewable pursuant to the Act.


The following investments by a non-Canadian are subject to review under the Act:


1.

direct acquisition of control of Canadian businesses with assets of $5 million or more, unless the acquisition is being made by a World Trade Organization (“WTO”) member country investor (the United States being a member of the WTO);

2.

direct acquisition of control of Canadian businesses with assets of $172 million or more by a WTO investor;

3.

indirect acquisition of control of Canadian business with assets of $5 million or more if such assets represent more than 50% of the total value of the assets of the entities, the control of which is being acquired, unless the acquisition is being made by a WTO investor, in which case there is no review;

4.

indirect acquisition of control of Canadian businesses with assets of $50 million or more even if such assets represent less than 50% of the total value of the assets of the entities, the control of which is being acquired, unless the acquisition is being made by a WTO investor, in which case there is no review; and

5.

an investment subject to notification that would not otherwise be reviewable if the Canadian business engages in the activity of publication, distribution or sale of books, magazines, periodicals, newspapers, film or video recordings, audio or video music recordings, or music in print or machine-readable form.


Generally, an acquisition is direct if it involves the acquisition of control of the Canadian business or of its Canadian parent or grandparent and an acquisition is indirect if it involves the acquisition of control of a non-Canadian parent or grandparent of an entity carrying on the Canadian business.  Control may be acquired through the acquisition of actual voting control by the acquisition of voting shares of a Canadian corporation or through the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of the Canadian business.  No change of voting control will be deemed to have occurred if less than one-third of the voting control of a Canadian corporation is acquired by an investor.


A WTO investor, as defined in the Act, includes an individual who is a national of a member country of the World Trade Organization or who has the right of permanent residence in relation to that WTO member, a government or government agency of a WTO investor-controlled corporation, limited partnership, trust or joint venture and a corporation, limited partnership, trust or joint venture that is neither WTO-investor controlled or Canadian controlled of which two-thirds of its board of directors, general partners or trustees, as the case may be, or any combination of Canadians and WTO investors.



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Buffalo Gold Ltd. 20-F   Page 59

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The higher thresholds for WTO investors do not apply if the Canadian business engages in activities in certain sectors such as uranium, financial services, transportation services or communications.


The Act specifically exempts certain transactions from either notification or review.  Included among this category of transactions is the acquisition of voting shares or other voting interests by any person in the ordinary course of that person’s business as a trader or dealer in securities.

Taxation


Material Canadian Federal Income Tax Consequences


Through consultation with counsel, management of the Company believes that the following general summary accurately describes all material Canadian federal income tax consequences applicable to a holder of common shares of the Company who is a resident of the United States under the Canada-US Income Tax Convention (1980) (the “Treaty”) and 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 the Company in connection with carrying on a business in Canada (a “non-resident holder”).


This summary is based upon the current provisions of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “ITA”), the regulations thereunder (the “Regulations”), the current publicly announced administrative and assessing policies of the Canada Revenue Agency, and all specific proposals (the “Tax Proposals”) to amend the ITA and Regulations announced by the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof.  This summary assumes that the Tax Proposals will be enacted in their form as of the date of this Annual Report.  This description, except for the Tax Proposals, does not take into account or anticipate any changes in law, whether by legislative, government or judicial action, nor does it take into account provincial, territorial, or foreign tax considerations which may differ significantly from those discussed herein.


Dividends


Dividends paid on the common shares of the Company to a non-resident holder will be subject to withholding tax.  The “Treaty” provides that the normal 25% withholding tax rate under the ITA is reduced to 15% on dividends paid on shares of a corporation resident in Canada (such as the Company) to beneficial owners of the dividends who are residents of the United States, and also provides for a further reduction of this rate to 5% where the beneficial owner of the dividends is a corporation that is a resident of the United States which owns at least 10% of the voting shares of the corporation paying the dividend.  


Capital Gains


Under the ITA, a taxpayer’s capital gain or capital loss from a disposition of a share of the Company is the amount, if any, by which his proceeds of disposition exceed (or are exceeded by) the aggregate of his adjusted cost base of the share and reasonable expenses of disposition.  One half of a capital gain (the “taxable capital gain”) is included in income, and one half of a capital loss in a year (the “allowable capital loss”) is deductible from taxable capital gains realized in the same year.  The amount by which a shareholder’s allowable capital loss exceeds his taxable capital gains in a year may be deducted from a taxable capital gain realized by the shareholder in the three previous or any subsequent year, subject to certain restrictions in the case of a corporate shareholder.



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Buffalo Gold Ltd. 20-F   Page 60

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



A non-resident holder is not subject to tax under the ITA in respect of a capital gain realized upon the disposition of a share of a public corporation (listed on a prescribed stock exchange which includes the TSX-V) unless the share represents “taxable Canadian property” to the holder thereof.  The Company is a public corporation for purposes of the ITA and a common share of the Company will be taxable Canadian property to a non-resident holder if, at any time during the period of 60 months immediately preceding the disposition, the non-resident holder, persons with whom the non-resident holder did not deal at arm’s length, or the non-resident holder and persons with whom he did not deal at arm’s length together owned not less than 25% of the issued shares of any class or series of a class of shares of the Company.   


Where a non-resident holder who is an individual ceased to be resident in Canada, and at the time he ceased to be a Canadian resident elected to have his Company shares treated as taxable Canadian property, he will be subject to Canadian tax on any capital gain realized on disposition of the Company’s shares, subject to the relieving provisions of the Treaty described below.


Shares of the Company may also be taxable Canadian property to a holder if the holder acquired them pursuant to certain tax-deferred “rollover” transactions whereby the holder exchanged property that was taxable Canadian property for shares of the Company.


Where the non-resident holder realized a capital gain on a disposition of the Company shares that constitute taxable Canadian property, the Treaty relieves the non-resident shareholder from liability for Canadian tax on such capital gains unless:


(a)

the value of the shares is derived principally from “real property” in Canada, including the right to explore for or exploit natural resources and rights to amounts computed by reference to production from natural resources, which is the case for the Company,

(b)

the non-resident holder is an individual who was resident in Canada for not less than 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 resident in Canada or are property substituted for property that was owned at that time, or

(c)

the shares formed part of the business property of a “permanent establishment” or pertained to a fixed base used for the purpose of performing independent personal services that the shareholder has or had in Canada within the 12 months preceding the disposition.

Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences


The following summary is a general discussion of the material United States Federal income tax considerations to US holders of shares of the Company under current law.  This discussion assumes that US Holders hold their shares of the Company’s common stock as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).  It does not discuss all the tax consequences that may be relevant to particular holders in light of their circumstances or to holders subject to special rules, 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 shares of the Company is not effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States, shareholders who acquired their stock through the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation, shareholders who hold their stock as ordinary assets and not capital assets and any other non-US Holders.  In addition, US Holders may be subject to state, local or foreign tax consequences.  No opinion or representation with respect to the United States Federal income tax consequences to any such holder or prospective holder is being made by the Company herein.  Holders and prospective holders should therefore consult with their own tax advisors with respect to their particular circumstances.  This discussion covers all material tax consequences.  


The following discussion is based upon the sections of 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.  This decision does not consider the potential effects, both adverse and beneficial, of any recently proposed legislation that, if enacted, could be applied, possibly on a retroactive basis, at any time.  Accordingly, holders and prospective holders of shares of the Company should consult their own tax advisors about the Federal, state, local, estate, and foreign tax consequences of purchasing, owning and disposing of shares of the Company.


US Holders


As used herein, a “US Holder” includes a holder of shares of the Company who is a citizen or resident of the United States, a corporation created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or of any political subdivision thereof, any entity that is taxable as a corporation for US tax purposes and any other person or entity whose ownership of shares of the Company is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States.  A US 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 shares of the Company is not effectively connected with conduct of trade or business in the United States, shareholders who acquired their stock through the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation and shareholders who hold their stock as ordinary assets and not as capital assets.



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Buffalo Gold Ltd. 20-F   Page 62

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Treaty Application to Certain Persons


US Holders who do not maintain a substantial presence, permanent home or habitual abode in the US or whose personal and economic relations are not closer to the US than to any other country (other than Canada) may be unable to benefit from the provisions of the Convention Between the United States of America and Canada with Respect to Taxes on Income and on Capital, signed September 26, 1980, as amended (the “Canada-US Tax Convention”). These US Holders should consult their own tax advisors concerning the availability of benefits under the Canada-US Tax Convention.


Information Reporting


The Proposed Treasury Regulations issued under Section 1291(f) of the Code provide that US Holders must report certain information to the IRS on Form 8621 with their federal income tax return. Special information reporting requirements apply in the case of certain transfers entitled to nonrecognition treatment. US Holders are urged to consult with their own tax advisors concerning such reporting requirements.


Taxation of Dividends


Subject to the PFIC rules discussed above, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the gross amount of a distribution by in respect of Resulting Issuer Shares owned by a U.S. Holder, including any amounts of Canadian tax withheld on the distribution, will be treated as dividend income to such U.S. Holder to the extent paid out of the distributing corporation's current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes. That dividend income will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction generally allowed to corporations under Section 243 of the Code. To the extent such distribution exceeds the U.S. Holder's allocable share of the distributing corporation's current and accumulated earnings and profits, the excess will be applied first to reduce the U.S. Holder's basis in its shares in such corporation, and any remaining excess will constitute gain from the deemed sale or exchange of such shares. Dividends paid by the Resulting Issuer in Canadian dollars will be included in the income of a U.S. Holder in a U.S. dollar amount calculated by reference to the exchange rate in effect on the date of receipt thereof by the depositary, regardless of whether the payment is in fact converted into U.S. dollars. If the dividends paid in Canadian dollars are converted into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt, U.S. Holders generally should not be required to recognize foreign currency gain or loss in respect of the dividend income.


For U.S. federal income tax purposes, a U.S. Holder may generally elect to treat Canadian withholding taxes as either a deduction from gross income or, subject to certain limitations, a credit against the U.S., federal income tax liability of that U.S. Holder. The maximum foreign tax credit allowable generally is equal to the U.S. Holder's U.S. federal income tax liability for the taxable year multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the U.S. Holder's taxable income from sources without the United States and the denominator of which is the U.S. Holder's taxable



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Buffalo Gold Ltd. 20-F   Page 63

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Foreign Tax Credit


A US Holder who pays (or has withheld from distribution) Canadian income tax with respect to the ownership of shares of the Company may be entitled, at the option of the US Holder, to either a deduction or a tax credit for such foreign tax paid or withheld.  Generally, it will be more advantageous to claim a credit because a credit reduces United States Federal income taxes on a dollar-for-dollar basis, while a deduction merely reduces the taxpayer’s income subject to tax.  This election is made on a year-by-year basis and applies to all foreign taxes paid by (or withheld from) the US Holder during the year.  There are significant and complex limitations that apply to the credit, among which is the general limitation that the credit cannot exceed the proportionate share of the US Holder’s United States Federal income tax liability that the US Holder’s foreign source income bears to this or its worldwide taxable income.  In the determination of the application of this limitation, the various items of income and deduction must be classified into foreign and domestic sources.  Complex rules govern this classification process.  There are further limitations on the foreign tax credit for certain types of income such as “passive income”, “high withholding tax interest”, “financial services income”, “shipping income”, and certain other classifications of income.  The availability of the foreign tax credit and the application of the limitations on the credit are fact specific and holders and prospective holders of shares of the Company should consult their own tax advisors regarding their individual circumstances.


U.S. Backup Withholding Tax


United States backup withholding tax and information reporting requirements generally apply to certain payments to certain non-corporate US Holders. Information reporting generally will apply to payments of distributions on, and to proceeds from the sale or disposition of shares, by a payor within the United States to a US Holder, unless such US Holder is an exempt recipient, including a corporation, or provides an appropriate certification.


A payor within the United States will be required to withhold tax (currently at a rate of 28%) from any payments of distributions on, or proceeds from the sale or disposition shares, within the United States to a US Holder (unless such US Holder is an exempt recipient) that fails to furnish a correct taxpayer identification number on IRS Form W-9 or otherwise fails to comply with, or establish an exemption from, such backup withholding tax requirements. A US Holder will be allowed a refund or a credit equal to any amounts withheld under the United States backup withholding tax against such US Holder's United States federal income tax liability, provided the US Holder furnishes the required information to the IRS.



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Buffalo Gold Ltd. 20-F   Page 64

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Disposition of Common Shares of the Company


A US Holder will recognize a gain or loss upon the sale of shares of the Company equal to the difference, if any, between (i) the amount of cash plus the fair market value of any property received, and (ii) the shareholder’s tax basis in the shares of the Company.  This gain or loss will be a capital gain or loss if the shares are a capital asset in the hands of the US Holder, and will be a short-term or long-term capital gain or loss depending upon the holding period of the US Holder.  Gains and losses are netted and combined according to special rules in arriving at the overall capital gain or loss for a particular tax year.  Deductions for net capital loss are subject to significant limitations.  Corporate capital losses (other than losses of corporations electing under Subchapter S of the Code) are deductible to the extent of capital gains.  Non-corporate taxpayers may deduct net capital losses, whether short-term or long-term, up to US $3,000 a year (US $1,500 in the case of a married individual filing separately).  For US Holders which are individuals, any unused portion of such net capital loss may be carried over to be used in later tax years until such net capital loss is thereby exhausted.  For US Holders which are corporations (other than corporations subject to Subchapter S of the Code), an unused net capital loss may be carried back three years from the loss year and carried forward five years from the loss year to be offset against capital gains until such net capital loss is thereby exhausted.


Currency Exchange Gains or Losses


US Holders generally are required to calculate their taxable incomes in United States dollars.  Accordingly, a US Holder who purchases common shares of the Company with Canadian dollars will be required to determine the tax basis of such shares in United States dollars based on the exchange rate prevailing on the settlement date of the purchase (and may be required to recognize the unrealized gain or loss, if any, in the Canadian currency surrendered in the purchase transaction).  Similarly, a US Holder receiving dividends or sales proceeds from common shares of the Company in Canadian dollars will be required to compute the dividend income or the amount realized on the sale, as the case may be, in United States dollars based on the exchange rate prevailing at the time of receipt in the case of dividends and on the settlement date in the case of sales on an established securities exchange.  Gain or loss, if any, recognized on a disposition of Canadian currency in connection with the described transactions generally will be treated as ordinary gain or loss.


Other Considerations


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 Company (the Company does not believe that it will qualify in the next year, or has qualified within the past three fiscal years, as a “foreign personal holding company”, “foreign investment company”, “passive foreign investment company” or “controlled foreign corporation” as discussed below):




------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Buffalo Gold Ltd. 20-F   Page 65

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


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 the Company’s outstanding shares is owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals who are citizens of the United States and 60% or more of the Company’s gross income for such year was derived from certain passive sources (e.g., from dividends received from its subsidiaries), the Company would be treated as a “foreign personal holding company”.  In that event, US Holders that hold common shares of the Company (on the earlier of the last day of the Company’s tax year or the last date in which the Company was a foreign personal holding company) would be required to include in gross income for such year their allocable portions of such passive income to the extent the Company does not actually distribute such income.


Foreign Investment Company


If 50% or more of the combined voting power or total value of the Company’s outstanding shares are held, directly or indirectly, 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 the Company is found to be engaged primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting, or trading in securities, commodities, or any interest therein, it is possible that the Company 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 US Holder selling or exchanging common shares of the Company to be treated as ordinary income rather than capital gains.


Passive Foreign Investment Company


As a foreign corporation with US Holders, the Company could potentially be treated as a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”), as defined in Section 1297 of the Code, depending upon the percentage of the Company’s income which is passive, or the percentage of the Company’s assets which are producing passive income (generally 75% or more of its gross income in a taxable year is passive income, or the average percentage of the Company’s assets (by value) during the taxable year which produce passive income or which are held for production of same is at least 50%).  Passive income is generally defined to include gross income in the nature of dividends, interest, royalties, rents and annuities; excess of gains over losses from certain transactions in any commodities not arising inter alia from a PFIC whose business is actively involved in such commodities; certain foreign currency gains; and other similar types of income.  US Holders owning shares of a PFIC are subject to an additional tax and to an interest charge based on the value of deferral of tax for the period during which the common shares of the PFIC are owned, in addition to treatment of gain realized on the disposition of common shares of the PFIC as ordinary income rather than capital gain.  However, if the US Holder makes a timely election to treat a PFIC as a qualified electing fund (“QEF”) with respect to such shareholder’s interest therein, the above-described rules generally will not apply.  Instead, the electing US Holder would include annually in his gross income his pro rata share of the PFIC’s ordinary earnings and net capital gain regardless of whether such income or gain was actually distributed.  A US Holder of a QEF can, however, elect to defer the payment of United States Federal income tax on such income inclusions.  Special rules apply to US Holders who own their interests in a PFIC through intermediate entities or person.

Effective for tax years of US Holders beginning after December 31, 1997, US Holders who hold, actually or constructively, marketable stock of a foreign corporation that qualifies as a PFIC may elect to mark such stock to the market (a “mark-to-market election”).  If such an election is made, such US Holder will not be subject to the special taxation rules of PFIC described above for the taxable year for which the mark-to-market election is made.  A US Holder who makes such an election will include in income for the taxable year an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the shares of the Company as of the close of such tax year over such US Holder’s adjusted basis in such shares.  In addition, the US Holder is allowed a deduction for the lesser of (i) the excess, if any, of such US Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the shares over the fair market value of such shares as of the close of the tax year, or (ii) the excess, if any of (A) the mark-to-market gains for the shares in the Company included by such US Holder for prior tax years, including any amount which would have been included for any prior year but for Section 1291 interest on tax deferral rules discussed above with respect to a US Holder, who has not made a timely QEF election during the year in which he holds (or is deemed to have held) shares in the Company and the Company is a PFIC (“Non-Electing US Holder”), over (B) the mark-to-market losses for shares that were allowed as deductions for prior tax years.  A US Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the shares of the Company will be increased or decreased to reflect the amount included or deducted as a result of mark-to-market election.  A mark-to-market election will apply to the tax year for which the election is made and to all later tax years, unless the PFIC stock ceases to be marketable or the IRS consents to the revocation of the election.    


The IRS has issued proposed regulations that, subject to certain exceptions, would treat as taxable certain transfers of PFIC stock by a Non-Electing US Holder that are generally not otherwise taxed, such as gifts, exchanges pursuant to corporate reorganizations, and transfers at death.  Generally, in such cases, the basis of the Company’s shares in the hands of the transferee and the basis of any property received in the exchange for those shares would be increased by the amount of gain recognized.  A US Holder who has made a timely QEF election (as discussed below) will not be taxed on certain transfers of PFIC stock, such as gifts, exchanges pursuant to corporate reorganization, and transfers at death.  The transferee’s basis in this case will depend on the manner of transfer.  The specific tax effect to the US Holder and the transferee may vary based on the manner in which the shares of the Company are transferred.  Each US Holder should consult a tax advisor with respect to how the PFIC rules affect their tax situation.


The PFIC and QEF election rules are complex. US Holders should consult a tax advisor regarding the availability and procedure for making the QEF election as well as the applicable method for recognizing gains or earnings and profits under the foregoing rules.

Controlled Foreign Corporation


If more than 50% of the voting power of all classes of stock or total value of the stock of the Company is owned, directly or indirectly, by citizens or residents of the United States, United States domestic partnerships and corporations or estates or trusts other than foreign estates or trusts, each of whom owns 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company (“United States shareholder”), the Company could be treated as a “controlled foreign corporation” under Subpart F of the Code.  This classification would effect many complex results including the required inclusion by such United States shareholders in income of their pro rata shares of “Subpart F income” (as specifically defined by the Code) of the Company.  Subpart F requires current inclusions in the income of United States shareholders to the extent of a controlled foreign corporation’s accumulated earnings invested in “excess passive” assets (as defined by the Code).  In addition, under Section 1248 of the Code, gain from sale or exchange of stock by a holder of common shares of the Company who is or was a United States shareholder at any time during the five year period ending with the sale or exchange is treated as ordinary dividend income to the extent of earnings and profits of the Company attributable to the stock sold or exchanged.  Because of the complexity of Subpart F, and because it is not clear that Subpart F would apply to the holders of common shares of the Company, a more detailed review of these rules is outside the scope of this discussion.


If the Company is both a PFIC and controlled foreign corporation, the Company will generally not be treated as a PFIC with respect to United States shareholders of the controlled foreign corporation.  This rule generally will be effective for taxable years of the Company ending with or within such taxable years of United States shareholders.


The foregoing summary is based upon the sections of 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.  This discussion does not consider the potential effects, both adverse and beneficial, of any recently proposed legislation that, if enacted, could be applied, possibly on a retroactive basis, at any time.  Accordingly, holders and prospective holders of shares of the Company should consult their own tax advisors about the Federal, state, local, estate, and foreign tax consequences of purchasing, owning and disposing of shares of the Company.

ITEM 11.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

Exchange rates, reporting currencies and currency exposure

The Company’s assets, losses and cash flows are influenced by four different currencies due to the geographic diversity of its exploration activities and the countries in which it operates. The Canadian dollar and Australian dollar, however, are the currencies in which the great majority of the Group’s assets are denominated. Operating costs are influenced by the currencies of those countries where the Group’s exploration activities are located and also by those currencies in which the costs of imported equipment and services are determined. The Papua New Guinea kina and US dollars are the most important currencies influencing costs.


In any particular year, currency fluctuations may have a significant impact on the Company’s financial results. A weakening of the Canadian dollar against the currencies in which the Company’s costs are determined has an adverse effect on its net losses. The approximate effects on the Group’s Canadian dollar operating expenses of 10 per cent movements from the 2006 full year average exchange rates are as follows:

    377,000


These sensitivities are based on 2006 prices, costs and volumes and assume that all other variables remain constant. These exchange rate sensitivities include the effect on operating costs of movements in exchange rates but exclude the impact through revaluation of foreign currency working capital or investment income.


The functional currency of most operations within the Company is the local currency in the country of operation. Foreign currency gains or losses arising on translation of monetary assets is included in results of operations. The approximate translation effects on the Group’s net assets of 10 per cent movements from the year end exchange rates are as follows:

Interest Rates

The Company’s interest rate management policy is generally to invest cash at fixed rates. Short term US dollar bond rates are normally lower than long term rates, resulting in lower interest costs to the Group. Changes in bond interest rates will have no impact on investment revenue to the Company.


Marketable Securities

The table below provides information about the Company’s marketable securities at the year end closing values, which are sensitive to changes in market prices. The information is presented in Canadian dollar equivalents, which is the Company’s reporting currency. The instruments’ actual trading is denominated in Canadian dollars and British pounds, as indicated in parentheses.

DAVIDSON & COMPANY LLP    Chartered Accountants    A Partnership of Incorporated Professionals

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


To the Shareholders of

Buffalo Gold Ltd.


We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Buffalo Gold Ltd. as at December 31, 2006 and 2005 and the consolidated statements of operations and deficit and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.


We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance 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.


In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2006 and 2005 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

COMMENTS BY AUDITORS FOR U.S. READERS ON CANADA –

U.S. REPORTING DIFFERENCE


In the United States, reporting standards for auditors require the addition of an explanatory paragraph (following the opinion paragraph) to identify circumstances when there is a restatement that has a material effect on the comparability of the Company’s financial statements such as the restatement described in Note 19, or when the financial statements are affected by conditions and events that cast substantial doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, such as those described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements.  Our report to the shareholders dated April 16, 2007 is expressed in accordance with Canadian reporting standards which do not permit a reference to such events and conditions or require a reference to such restatement in the auditors' report when they are adequately disclosed in the consolidated financial statements.

BUFFALO GOLD LTD.

(An Exploration Stage Company)

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(Expressed in Canadian dollars)

December 31, 2006


1.

Nature and Continuance of Operations

Buffalo Gold Ltd. (“Buffalo”) is an Alberta Corporation engaged in the acquisition, exploration, management, and development and sale of mineral properties, with the primary aim of developing properties to a stage where they can be exploited for a profit.  To date, Buffalo and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Company”) have not earned any revenues and are considered to be in the exploration stage.

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Canada (“Canadian GAAP”) under the 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. The Company has a history of operating losses and while it had working capital of $19,577,222 at December 31, 2006 (December 31, 2005 - $3,111,951), it intends to undertake exploration programs that will require that the Company raise further funds. These 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.

The operations of the Company have been primarily 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.

2.

Significant Accounting Policies

The Company's financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP. The Company’s significant accounting policies are as follows:

Basis of consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Buffalo and its wholly-owned subsidiaries from their date of acquisition or formation: Gold FX Limited (“Gold FX”), Gold Finance and Exploration Pty. Limited, Buffalo PNG Ltd. and Canon Investments Pty. Ltd. (“Canon”). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with Canadian GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Presentation

Where applicable, comparative figures have been reclassified to conform with the presentation used in the current year.




------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Buffalo Gold Ltd. 20-F   Page 81

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------





2.

Significant Accounting Policies (continued…)

Equipment

Equipment is recorded at cost and amortization is provided at between 20% and 30% per year on a declining basis.

Exploration properties and deferred costs

The Company charges to operations all exploration and development expenses incurred prior to the determination of economically recoverable reserves.

The Company capitalizes all mineral property acquisition costs and those exploration and development expenditures incurred following the determination that the property has economically recoverable reserves. The Company capitalizes such amounts until the property to which they relate is placed into production, sold, allowed to lapse or abandoned.

Mineral property acquisition costs include cash consideration and the fair value of common shares and warrants issued for mineral property interests, pursuant to the terms of the relevant agreement.  These costs are amortized over the estimated life of the property following commencement of commercial production, or written off if the property is sold, allowed to lapse or abandoned, or when impairment in value has been determined to have occurred. An exploration property is reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable.

Asset retirement obligations

The Company initially measures legal obligations associated with the retirement of property, plant and equipment at fair value and subsequently makes an adjustment for the accretion of discount and any changes in the underlying cash flows. The Company recognizes the fair value of a liability in the year in which it is incurred when a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. Any asset retirement cost is capitalized to the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset.

As at December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company did not have any asset retirement obligations.

Loss per share

The Company uses the treasury stock method to compute the dilutive effect of options, warrants and similar instruments. Under this method, the dilutive effect on loss per share is recognized on the use of the proceeds that could be obtained upon exercise of options, warrants and similar instruments. It assumes that the proceeds would be used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the period. For the years presented, this calculation proved to be anti-dilutive. At December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, the total number of potentially dilutive shares excluded from loss per share was 14,273,886, 7,201,456 and 256,000, respectively.

Marketable securities

Marketable securities consist of shares in publicly listed companies and investment grade bonds. Shares in listed companies are carried at the lower of cost or market value. Bonds are carried at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------





2.

Significant Accounting Policies (continued…)

Translation of foreign currencies

The Company acquired Australian subsidiaries that maintain their accounts in Australian dollars and formed a Papua New Guinea subsidiary that maintains its accounts in Papua New Guinea kina. Accordingly, the Company has adopted a new accounting policy regarding the translation of foreign currencies.

The accounts of the Company’s subsidiaries, which are considered to be integrated foreign operations, are translated into Canadian dollars using the temporal method. Under this method, monetary assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated using historical rates of exchange. Revenues and expenses are translated at exchange rates approximating those in effect on the date of the transactions. Exchange gains and losses on translation are included in operating results.

The monetary assets and liabilities of the Company that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange at the balance sheet date while non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical rates. Revenues and expenses are translated at the exchange rates approximating those in effect on the date of the transactions. Exchange gains and losses arising on translation are included in the statement of operations.

Stock-based compensation

Stock options and direct awards of stock granted to employees and non-employees are recorded at fair value on the date of grant and the associated expense is recognized over the vesting period. Consideration paid for the shares on the exercise of stock options is credited to capital stock.

Income taxes

Future income taxes are recorded using the asset and liability method, whereby future tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Future tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted or substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply when the asset is realized or the liability settled. The effect on future tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that substantive enactment or enactment occurs. To the extent that the Company does not consider it more likely than not that a future tax asset will be recovered, it provides a valuation allowance against the excess.

The Company did not incur any exploration costs in the year ended December 31, 2004.

Mt. Kare

On October 20, 2005, the Company entered into an option agreement with Longview Capital Partners Limited (“Longview”) to acquire up to a 90% interest in the Mt. Kare Property in Papua New Guinea. Longview holds an option from Madison Minerals Inc. (“Madison”) to acquire up to a 100% interest of Madison’s 90% interest in the Mt. Kare Property. Longview is beneficially owned by one of the Company’s directors. Another of the Company’s directors is a director and shareholder of Madison.

In order to acquire its interest in the Mt. Kare Property, the Company assumed Longview’s obligations under its agreement with Madison as follows:

The Company was to complete a preliminary feasibility study by January 4, 2007 and pay Madison, in cash or shares at Madison’s election, a total of $500,000 by October 1, 2006 on a quarterly basis to acquire a 49% interest in Madison Enterprises (PNG) Ltd. (“Madison PNG”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Madison that is the holder of the Mt. Kare Property. The Company paid $100,000 to Madison in 2005 and a further $400,000 in 2006.

The Company may acquire a further 2% interest (51% in the aggregate) by paying, in cash or shares at the Company’s election, a further $500,000 on or before February 15, 2007.

The Company may acquire a further 14% interest in Madison PNG (65% in the aggregate) by completing a bankable final feasibility study by July 4, 2008.

On June 19, 2006, in exchange for payment of $150,000 to Madison, the terms of the agreement were amended to extend the time available to the Company to prepare the preliminary feasibility study from January 4, 2007 to July 4, 2007 and to extend the date for the acquisition of a further 2% interest from February 15, 2007 to August 15, 2007.

After acquiring at least a 51% interest, the Company will have the right to acquire the balance of Madison’s interest based on an independent valuation of Madison’s remaining interest for cash or shares of the Company or a combination of both. If the Company elects not to acquire Madison’s remaining interest, the Company and Madison will enter into a joint venture for the further development of Mt. Kare.

Exploration Properties (continued…)

The Company agreed to pay Longview $200,000 in blocks of $50,000 on signing of the acquisition agreement and every three months thereafter until paid. The Company paid $50,000 to Longview in 2005 and $150,000 in 2006. The Company also agreed, subject to regulatory approval, to issue Longview 17,000,000 common shares upon the Company having acquired the initial 49% interest in Madison PNG from Madison. Subsequent to year end, the Company received regulatory approval and issued the 17,000,000 common shares to Longview (note 18). These shares are subject to escrow restrictions. The Company’s shareholders approved this acquisition at a special general meeting held on March 6, 2006.

Gold FX

In March 2006, the Company acquired Gold FX, a private Australian company with certain exploration assets in Queensland and the Northern Territory of Australia, see note 5. Subsequent to March 2006, Gold FX acquired additional properties. The principal properties or groups of properties are:

Corridors is a gold exploration property in northern Queensland.

Eromanga is a uranium exploration property in central Queensland. The Company undertook exploration activities in 2006 and then decided to abandon this property.

Other Gold FX properties, in which minimal exploration has occurred, include: Juntala, an exploration license application in the Georgetown-Townsville uranium field in northern Queensland; Lake Amadeus and Lake Neal, uranium exploration properties in the Northern Territory; Maureen North, a uranium and gold exploration property; and, Oakland Park and Golden Gate, gold exploration properties located in northern Queensland.

Murphy Ridge

In March 2006, the Company was granted an option to acquire a 100% interest in the Murphy Ridge Project located in the northeast part of Northern Territory, Australia. The Company paid an initial A$50,000 ($43,175) non-refundable payment that provided for a due diligence period that expired on October 11, 2006. On completion of the due diligence period the Company exercised its option and acquired 100% of the project by paying A$50,000 ($44,325) and issuing 73,592 common shares with a value of A$200,000 ($175,900). The Company completed the purchase of Murphy Ridge by acquiring the issued shares of Canon (note 6).

Hannah 1

In May 2006, the Company entered into an option agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the Hannah 1 property located in Western Australia. In order to acquire its 100% interest in the project, the Company must pay A$275,000 and issue 550,000 shares of the Company as follows:

Exploration Properties (continued…)

The Company had to spend at least A$50,000 (approximately $44,000) on exploration by June 24, 2006, which it did.

In order to fully exercise its option, the Company must make a final payment of A$20,000,000 on or before May 1, 2012. In addition, the property is subject to a 5% net profit royalty.

Red Property

In June 2006, the Company terminated its option to acquire an interest in the Red Property in north-western British Columbia. As a result, the Company wrote off the full amount of its accumulated costs to date.

Terrawest Properties, People’s Republic of China

In 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”). In 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 promissory notes for $50,000 each. 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 during fiscal 2004 and $2,500 during fiscal 2005. The remaining $47,500 was in default and, although the promissory note was secured by personal guarantees from the principals of Terrawest, the Company provided for the doubtful collection of this amount in fiscal 2005. In 2006, the Company collected both principal and interest totaling $53,882.

8.

Loans Payable

In 2003, the Company arranged for bridge financing totalling $152,131 bearing interest at 12% per annum. The Company was unable to repay the loans when they fell due and, in April 2005, reached an agreement with the lenders to settle the principal amount of the debt for 25% in cash ($36,431) and 75% in common shares at a price of US$0.15 per share. The lenders also agreed to waive interest and loan bonuses due. The Company recorded a $57,768 gain on settlement and issued 600,688 common shares, at a value of $109,291 in the year ended December 31, 2005.

The Company recognized a future income tax liability of $2,080,000 on the acquisition of Gold FX (note 5). During the year, this liability was partially offset through the recognition of certain future income tax assets resulting in a future income tax recovery of $223,000.

The Company has available for deduction against future years' taxable income non-capital losses of approximately $11,396,000. These losses will expire up to 2026. Subject to certain restrictions, the Company also has approximately $3,096,000 of resource expenditures available to reduce taxable income of future years.

During fiscal 2006, the Company acquired shares of Madison from arm’s length parties at a cost of $1,835,899 (2005 - $nil). Subsequent to year end, the Company acquired further shares of Madison from Longview Capital Partners Incorporated (formerly Longview Strategies Incorporated) (“Longview Incorporated”), which has a director and officer in common with the Company, at a cost of $1,445,000.

During fiscal 2006, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Longview Incorporated whereby the Company agreed to loan Longview Incorporated $1,813,050. The loan bore interest at approximately 5.1% per year and was repaid, with interest of $10,488.

Included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities at December 31, 2006 is $277,402 (2005 - $63,427) due to officers, a former officer, directors, consulting companies and a law firm in which directors or officers hold an interest. During 2005, the Company settled accounts payable due to related parties of $280,743 through the issuance of 1,538,910 common shares.

In 2006, the Company entered into a premises lease agreement in conjunction with Tournigan Gold Corporation, Longview Incorporated and Bayswater Uranium Corporation, which have one or more directors in common with the Company. The lease calls for basic rent of $1.87 million over the period expiring February 27, 2013 (note 14).

Apart from the loan to Longview Incorporated and the purchase of Madison shares, these transactions were in the normal course of operations. These transactions were measured at the exchange amount, which represented the amount of consideration established and agreed to by the related parties.

Financial Instruments

The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, receivables, marketable securities, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and amounts due to shareholders. It is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying values, unless otherwise noted.

The Company is subject to financial risk arising from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company does not use any derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

The Company is subject to credit risk on cash in excess of federally insured deposits with chartered banks and investments in corporate bonds. The Company mitigates such risks by placing its deposits with large financial institutions and acquiring corporate bonds of companies with high credit ratings.

Restatement

The Company has restated its results under United States GAAP for fiscal 2005 to properly account for the application of Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 04-02 “Whether Mineral Rights are Tangible or Intangible Assets”. The Company has adopted the provisions of EITF 04-02 for fiscal 2005. EITF 04-02 concluded that mineral rights are tangible properties and, accordingly, certain costs related to the acquisition of mineral rights should be capitalized. Previously, for United States GAAP purposes, the Company expensed as incurred acquisition costs relating to mineral rights. The effect of the restatement for United States GAAP purposes is as follows:

The restatements under United States GAAP had no effect on the Company’s primary financial statements and related notes prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP (other than this note 19).

a)

Exploration properties and deferred costs

Exploration property costs and related exploration expenditures are accounted for in accordance with Canadian GAAP, as disclosed in note 2. The Company’s current treatment of exploration properties and deferred costs conforms in all material respects with United States GAAP. The Company has adopted the provisions of EITF 04-02, “Whether Mineral Rights are Tangible or Intangible Assets”, which concludes that mineral rights are tangible assets and accordingly capitalizes for United States GAAP purposes the costs related to the acquisition of mineral rights.

b)

Comprehensive income

Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States require that the Company classify items of other comprehensive income by their nature in a financial statement and display the accumulated balance of other comprehensive income separately from retained earnings (deficit) and contributed surplus in the equity section of the balance sheet. In the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company recorded comprehensive income of $294,800 (2005 - $nil) comprising:

unrealized losses on securities available-for-sale of $393,011 (2005 - $nil); and,

unrealized foreign exchange gains on securities available-for-sale of $687,811 (2005 - $nil) in accordance with EITF 96-15 “Accounting for the Effects of Changes in Foreign Currency Exchange Rates on Foreign Currency-Denominated Available-for-Sale Debt Securities”.

c)

Marketable securities

Under Canadian GAAP, the marketable securities held by the Company are recorded at the lower of cost and market value. Under United States GAAP, these investments would be classified as “available for sale” securities and recorded at market value. Any unrealized holding gains or losses would be reported as a separate component of shareholders’ equity until realized. This accumulated difference between cost and market value is also recorded as part of comprehensive income. As at December 31, 2006, the unrealized holding gains for marketable securities was $294,800 (2005-$nil).

Differences Between Canadian and United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (Continued…)

d)

Stock-based compensation

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(revised), “Share-Based Payment” [“SFAS 123(R)”] utilizing the modified prospective approach. The impact of adoption of the standard did not materially affect the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows because the Company previously adopted the fair value based method of accounting for stock options prescribed by SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”.

Under Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” the Company used the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. The Company’s results for the year ended December 31, 2006 were not significantly affected as a result of adopting SFAS 123(R) on January 1, 2006.

Under Canadian GAAP, the Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the fair value method as disclosed in note 2. Accordingly, there is no difference between Canadian GAAP and United States GAAP in the accounting for stock-based compensation for the fiscal years presented.

e)

Recent accounting pronouncements

In July 2006, FASB issued Financial Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”), which is a change in accounting for income taxes. FIN 48 specifies how tax benefits for uncertain tax positions are to be recognized, measured, and derecognized in financial statements; requires certain disclosures of uncertain tax matters; specifies how reserves for uncertain tax positions should be classified on the balance sheet; and provides transition and interim period guidance, among other provisions. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006.

In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 157 (“SFAS 157”), “Fair Value Measurements.” Among other requirements, SFAS 157 defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value and also expands disclosure about the use of fair value to measure assets and liabilities. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.

The adoption of these new pronouncements is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Canadian pronouncements

In January 2005, the CICA issued the following new accounting standards, effective for fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2006.

CICA Handbook Section 3251: “Equity” establishes standards for the presentation of equity and changes in equity during the reporting period.

CICA Handbook Section 1530: “Comprehensive Income” establishes standards for reporting comprehensive income, defined as a change in value of net assets that is not due to owner activities, by introducing a new requirement to temporarily present certain gains and losses outside of net income.

CICA Handbook Section 3855: “Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement” establishes standards for the recognition, classification and measurement of financial instruments including the presentation of any resulting gains or losses. Assets classified as available-for-sale securities will have revaluation gains and losses included in other comprehensive income until theses assets are no longer included on the balance sheet.

The adoption of Sections 1530 and 3855 will be consistent with the existing United States GAAP treatment for marketable securities.

The Funds will be used by Longview for the sole purpose of purchasing 2,133,000 units (the “Units”) of Madison Minerals Inc. (“Madison”) for which Longview has subscribed pursuant to a subscription agreement dated October 10, 2006.


2.

As security for repayment of the Funds, Longview will deliver to Buffalo the certificates representing the shares and warrants which comprise the Units (the “Certificates”) along with stock powers of attorney duly endorsed in blank and medallion guaranteed (the “Stock Powers”) that will allow Buffalo to transfer the Units to Buffalo in the event that Longview fails to repay the Funds and accrued interest on the basis set out below.


3.

Longview acknowledges that Buffalo has collapsed certain financial instruments in order to provide the Funds to Longview and will not be receiving interest on other money used as a source of the Funds; accordingly, Longview agrees to reimburse Buffalo for all costs associated with the provision of the Funds (the “Funding Costs”), including, without limitation all amounts referred to in this paragraph.


4.

Longview will repay to Buffalo the Funds and the Funding Costs as aforesaid no later than November 30, 2006, failing which Buffalo will be entitled to transfer the Units into its name, subject to any resale restrictions that might apply to the Units.

Letter of intent dated May 17, 2007 between the Company and Longview, Longview Capital Holdings Ltd., Madison, Madison Enterprises (BVI) Inc. and Madison Enterprises (PNG) Limited




BUFFALO GOLD LTD.

24th Floor, 1111 West Georgia Street Vancouver, BC, Canada V6E 4M3 Phone: 604.685.5492 Fax: 604.685.2536 www.buffalogold.ca

Longview Capital Partners Limited ("Longview Partners") Longview Capital Holdings Ltd. ("Longview Holdings") Madison Minerals Inc. ("Madison")

Madison Enterprises (BVI) Inc. ("Madison BVI")

Madison Enterprises (PNG) Limited ("Madison PNG")

Dear Sirs:

Re:

Mount Kare Property, Papua New Guinea (the "Property")

Buffalo is writing in connection with its agreement dated October 20, 2005 with Longview Holdings and Longview Partners (the "Longview Agreement"), in which it covenants, among other things, to make certain payments to Madison BVI and prepare a preliminary feasibility study on the Property, all in accordance with the terms of the option agreement dated October 17, 2005 as amended by a supplementary agreement dated November 9, 2005 and letter agreement dated June 19, 2006 among Longview Partners, Madison, Madison BVI and Madison PNG (the "Madison Agreement").

The purpose of this letter of intent is to summarize certain terms which have been agreed to by all of the parties hereto with respect to the Longview Agreement and the Madison Agreement, which terms will be formalized in a definitive agreement (or agreements) to be entered into by all of the parties hereto.

These terms are as follows:

1.

Buffalo, Longview Partners and Longview Holdings agree as follows:

(a)

That the Option (as defined in the Longview Agreement) has been exercised by Buffalo, and that Buffalo is entitled to have transferred to it all of the Longview Shares (as defined in the Longview Agreement).

(b)

That the Closing (as defined in the Longview Agreement) will occur as provided for in article 8 of the Longview Agreement as soon as reasonably possible.



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Buffalo Gold Ltd. 20-F   Page 145

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------





2.

Buffalo, Longview Partners, Madison, Madison BVI and Madison PNG agree as follows:

(a)

Longview Holdings will acquire a 60% Interest (as defined in the Madison Agreement) upon Buffalo making a cash payment (or the Share Equivalent at Buffalo's election) to Madison BVI of $500,000 and issuing 3,000,000 common shares (such shares and any Share Equivalent shares being the "Acquisition Shares") to Madison BVI within ten business days of the date of execution of a definitive agreement. For the purposes hereof, "Share Equivalent" will have the same meaning as ascribed thereto in the Madison Agreement except that payment will be in the form of shares of Buffalo, and not Longview.

(b)

After Longview Holdings acquires a 60% Interest, Longview Holdings will be entitled to earn an additional 15% Interest, for an aggregate 75% Interest, by completing a Bankable Feasibility Study (as defined in the Madison Agreement) within four years of the date of execution of a definitive agreement. Buffalo will be entitled to an extension of one year to this four year period if it actively carries out exploration work on the Property and work towards the Bankable Feasibility Study in each year of such four year period (collectively, "Work"), with actively carrying out Work being the expenditure of a minimum of $500,000 in each year of such four year period.

(c)

If Longview Holdings acquires a 75% Interest, it will be entitled to purchase the remaining 25% Interest in accordance with sections 3.7 and 3.8 of the Madison Agreement.

(d)

If Longview Holdings does not acquire an additional Interest as provided for in paragraphs 2(b) or (c) herein, upon the expiry of the time limit within which Longview Holdings is entitled to acquire the additional Interest, Longview Holdings, Madison BVI and Madison PNG will enter into the Shareholders Agreement as provided for in the Madison Agreement.

(g)

Buffalo will have a right of first refusal to acquire any of the Acquisition Shares Madison BVI proposes to sell. Madison BVI will provide Buffalo with notice of any proposed sale of the Acquisition Shares and the terms thereof, whereupon Buffalo will have a period of two business days to agree to purchase the Acquisition Shares set out in the notice and an additional five business days to complete such purchase.

This letter of intent will terminate if a definitive agreement(s) has not been entered into by June 30, 2007.


This letter of intent may be executed and delivered in counterparts or by facsimile, and when so executed and delivered each counterpart or facsimile will be deemed to be an original and such counterparts and facsimiles together will constitute one and the same instrument and notwithstanding their date of execution will be deemed to be dated as of the date hereof.
