Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors Concerning Reserve and Resource Estimates

The terms “mineral reserve”, “proven mineral reserve” and “probable mineral reserve” are Canadian mining terms as defined in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the “CIM”) - CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council, as amended. These definitions differ from the definitions in the United States Securities and Exchange Commission Industry Guide 7 (“SEC Industry Guide 7”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Under SEC Industry Guide 7 standards, mineralization may not be classified as a “reserve” unless the determination has been made that the mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted at the time the reserve determination is made. The United States Securities and Exchange Commission has taken the position that mineral reserves for a mineral property may not be designated unless: (i) competent professional engineers conduct a detailed engineering and economic study, and the “bankable” or “final” feasibility study demonstrates that a mineral deposit can be mined profitably at a commercial rate; (ii) a historic three-year average commodity price is used in any reserve or cash flow analysis used to designate reserves; and (iii) the company has demonstrated that the mineral property will receive its governmental permits, and the primary environmental document has been filed with the appropriate governmental authorities.

In addition, the terms “mineral resource”, “measured mineral resource”, “indicated mineral resource” and “inferred mineral resource” are defined in and required to be disclosed by NI 43-101; however, these terms are not defined terms under SEC Industry Guide 7 and are normally not permitted to be used in reports and registration statements filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into reserves or that they can be mined economically or legally. “Inferred mineral resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all, or any part, of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, except in rare cases. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource exists or that it can be economically or legally mined. Disclosure of “contained ounces” in a resource is permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations; however, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute “reserves” by Securities and Exchange Commission standards as in place tonnage and grade without reference to unit measures.

Accordingly, information contained in this Annual Report may contain descriptions of the company’s mineral deposits that may not be comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements under the United States federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

PART I

Effective February 1, 2010, the Company adopted International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Unless otherwise stated, all information presented herein has been prepared in accordance with IFRS. Please note that our prior annual consolidated financial statements were previously prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles and included a reconciliation to United States generally accepted accounting principles, which may not be comparable to IFRS. Please refer to our annual consolidated financial statements for the years ended January 31, 2010 and 2009 (previously filed with our Annual Reports on Form 20-F).

ITEM 3. KEY INFORMATION

3.A Selected Financial Data

The summary consolidated financial information set forth below should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, our consolidated financial statements as of January 31, 2013 and 2012 and for the years ended January 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 together with the notes thereto, which appear elsewhere in this annual report. These consolidated financial statements have been audited by Smythe Ratcliffe LLP, Chartered Accountants.

The financial data set forth in this Annual Report is expressed in Canadian dollars (“Cdn$”, “CAD” or “$”) unless otherwise noted as reported in US dollars (“US$” or “USD”). During our 2010 fiscal year, the Company changed its reporting currency from the United States dollar to the Canadian dollar. The change was consistent with our change of business to the resource sector completed on April 24, 2008 and its continuance of jurisdiction from Wyoming, United States, to British Columbia, Canada, completed August 21, 2006.

The following financial data summarizes selected financial data for our company prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) as at January 31, 2013 and 2012 and for the three fiscal years ended January 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011. Such information is derived from our consolidated financial statements which were examined by our independent auditors. The information set forth below should be read in conjunction with our audited annual consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in this annual report, and with the information appearing under the heading “Item 5 – Operating and Financial Review and Prospects”.

The weighted average outstanding shares used to calculate income (loss) per share for the following fiscal periods are: 85,685,846 for the year ended January 31, 2013; 75,840,556 for the year ended January 31, 2012; 69,372,422 for the year ended January 31, 2011; 49,819,536 for the year ended January 31, 2010; and, 24,859,595 for the year ended January 31, 2009.

During the year ended January 31, 2012, the Company changed its accounting policy for mineral exploration costs from capitalizing to being included in profit or loss of the year. The following selected financial data as at January 31, 2010 and 2009 and for the two fiscal years ended January 31, 2010 and 2009 has been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, based on the audited consolidated financial statements (previously filed with our Annual Reports on Form 20-F) for the 2010 and 2009 fiscal years, adjusted to reflect the change in accounting policy.

Total shareholders’ equity	29,038,032	12,241,562
Total liabilities and shareholders’ equity	29,425,738	12,663,538

To date, the Company has not generated any cash flow from its activities to fund on-going activities and cash commitments. The Company has financed operations principally through the sale of equity securities. The Company normally maintains sufficient cash and cash equivalents to meet the Company’s business requirements and at January 31, 2013, the cash and cash equivalents balance of $38,081 is insufficient to meet the needs for the coming year. Therefore, the Company will be required to raise additional capital in order to fund its operations in fiscal 2014.

Exchange Rate Data

The Company maintains its accounts in Canadian dollars. These consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, certain exchange rates based on the noon buying rate in Canadian dollars as reported by the Bank of Canada. On May 28, 2013, the exchange rate was USD 1.00 per CAD 1.0371. The high and low exchange rates (CAD per USD 1.00) for each month during the previous six months were as follows:

3.C Reasons for the Offer and Use of Proceeds

Not applicable.

3.D Risk Factors

The Company, and thus the securities of the Company, should be considered a speculative investment and investors should carefully consider all of the information disclosed in this Annual Report prior to making an investment in the Company. In addition to the other information presented in this Annual Report, the following risk factors should be given special consideration when evaluating an investment in any of the Company's securities.

Our independent auditors have expressed doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern.

The report of our independent auditors on our financial statements for the year ended January 31, 2013 includes a note stating that our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with any certainty, at this time. We have historically satisfied our capital needs primarily by issuing equity securities. If we are unable to continue to fund our operations through the issuance of equity securities we would have to cease operations.

Risks Associated with Exploration

The Company has no known reserves on its interests in exploration properties.

The Company has no mineral producing properties and has never generated any revenue from its operations. The majority of exploration projects do not result in the discovery of commercially mineable deposits of ore. Only those mineral deposits that the Company can economically and legally extract or produce, based on a comprehensive evaluation of cost, grade, recovery and other factors, are considered “resources” or “reserves.” The Company has no known bodies of commercial ore or economic deposits and has not defined or delineated any proven or probable reserves or resources on any of its properties. The Company may never discover any gold, silver or other minerals from mineralized material in commercially exploitable quantities and any identified mineralized deposit may never qualify as a commercially mineable (or viable) reserve. In addition, the Company is in its early stages of exploration and substantial additional work will be required in order to determine if any economic deposits exist on the Company’s properties. Substantial expenditures are required to establish ore reserves through drilling and metallurgical and other testing techniques. No assurance can be given that any level of recovery of the ore reserves will be realized or that any identified mineral deposit will ever qualify as a commercial mineable ore body which can be legally and economically exploited.

The Company faces risks related to exploration and development, if warranted, of its properties.

The level of profitability of the Company, if any, in future years will depend to a great degree on gold and silver prices and whether any of the Company’s exploration stage properties can be brought into production. The exploration for and development of mineral deposits involves significant risks. It is impossible to ensure that the current and future exploration programs and/or feasibility studies, if any, on the Company’s existing mineral properties will establish reserves. Whether an ore body will be commercially viable depends on a number of factors, including, but not limited to: the particular attributes of the deposit, such as size, grade and proximity to infrastructure; metal prices, which cannot be predicted and which have been highly volatile in the past; mining, processing and transportation costs; perceived levels of political risk and the willingness of lenders and investors to provide project financing; labour costs and possible labour strikes; and governmental regulations, including, without limitation, regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, importing and exporting materials, foreign exchange, environmental protection, employment, worker safety, transportation, and reclamation and closure obligations.

The Company is also subject to the risks normally encountered in the mining industry, such as:

unusual or unexpected geological formations;
fires, floods, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and other natural disasters;
power outages and water shortages;
cave-ins, landslides, and other similar mining hazards;
labour disruptions and labour disputes;
inability to obtain suitable or adequate machinery, equipment, or labour;
liability for pollution or other hazards; and
other known and unknown risks involved in the operation of mines and the conduct of exploration.

The development of interests in exploration properties is affected by many factors, including, but not limited to: the cost of operations, variations in the grade of ore, fluctuations in metal markets, costs of extraction and processing equipment, availability of equipment and labour, labour costs and possible labour strikes, and government regulations, including without limitation, regulations relating to taxes, royalties, allowable production, importing and exporting of minerals, foreign exchange, employment, worker safety, transportation, and environmental protection. Depending on the price of minerals, the Company may determine that it is impractical to commence, or, if commenced, continue, commercial production. Such a decision would negatively affect the Company’s profits and may affect the value of its equity.

The Company relies on a limited number of properties.

The Company’s only current properties of interest are the Cordillera del Condor property located in Amazonas and Cajamarca regions, and the Deborah property, located in Cajamarca Region, Peru. As a result, unless the Company acquires additional property interests, any adverse developments affecting these properties could have a material adverse effect upon our business and would materially and adversely affect our potential mineral resource production, profitability, financial performance and results of operations.

The Company’s properties may be subject to unregistered agreements, transfers or claims and title may be adversely affected by undetected defects or aboriginal claims.

The Company has not conducted a legal survey of the boundaries of any of its properties, and therefore, in accordance with the laws of the jurisdictions in which these properties are situated, their existence and area could be in doubt. The Company has obtained only limited formal title reports on some of its properties and title to all of its properties may be in doubt. The Company’s properties may be subject to unregistered agreements, transfers or claims and title may be adversely affected by such undetected defects. If title is disputed, the Company may have to defend its ownership through the courts, and the Company cannot guarantee that a favourable judgment will be obtained. Any litigation could be extremely costly to the Company and could limit the available capital for use in other exploration and development activities. The Company may require additional financing to cover the costs of any litigation necessary to establish title. In the event of an adverse judgment with respect to any of its mineral properties, the Company could lose its property rights and may be required to cease its exploration and development activities on that property. Mining operations may also be affected by claims of native peoples, any of which could have the effect of reducing or preventing the Company from exploiting any possible mineral reserves on its properties.

Ownership, exploration and development of the Company’s properties are subject to government approvals and regulations.

All of the interests in exploration property held by the Company are located in Peru. Those properties within the Cordillera del Condor are held through option agreements that can only be exercised by the Company upon receipt of a Supreme Decree from the Peruvian Government, as Peruvian law requires a Supreme Decree with respect to the Company’s properties when the Company is a foreign entity and its properties are located within 50 kilometers of the Peruvian national border. The Company has applied for, but not been issued, the Supreme Decree, and there can be no guarantee that the Supreme Decree will be issued. The Deborah property is not subject to this rule as it is farther than 50 kilometers from the border.

The individuals and entities that granted the Company options pursuant to the option agreements have obtained mining concessions with respect to the properties covered by each option agreement. There can be no guarantee that the individuals and entities that granted the Company options will be able to maintain these mining concessions in good standing, nor is there any guarantee that the Company will be able to obtain and maintain these mining concessions.

Peruvian law also requires mining permits and licenses in order to undertake exploration activities or commence construction or operation of mine facilities on the Company’s properties. An exploration permit is required when the proposed exploration may have a significant impact on the environment, people or historical sites. The Company has required and anticipates that it will continue to require exploration permits in order to undertake exploration activities on its properties.

There can be no guarantee that the Company will be able to obtain the Supreme Decree and all necessary permits and approvals from the Peruvian Government or that such approvals, if obtained, will not later be revoked or amended in a manner adverse to the Company. If the Company is unable to obtain the Supreme Decree, it will not be able to exercise the options set forth in its option agreements, and it will be prohibited from owning the underlying properties. If the Company or its optioners are unable to obtain and maintain other required approvals, permits and licenses, the Company may be unable to undertake its intended exploration and development activities on such properties. Any of these developments could have a material adverse effect on the Company, and could require the Company to cease exploration and development activities on all or a portion of its properties, or abandon or dispose of all or a portion of its properties.

Mining operations are subject to a wide range of additional government regulations including, but not limited to: restrictions on production and production methods, price controls, tax increases, expropriation of property, import and export control, employment laws, worker safety regulations, environmental protection, protection of agricultural territory or changes in conditions under which minerals may be marketed. Any failure to comply with such regulations, adverse changes in such regulations or shifts in political conditions could have a material adverse effect on the Company and its business, or if significant enough, could make it impossible to continue to operate in the country.

Mineral operations are subject to market forces outside of the Company’s control.

The marketability of minerals is affected by numerous factors beyond the Company’s control. These factors include, but are not limited to, market fluctuations, government regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, allowable production, import restrictions applicable to equipment and supplies, export controls and supply and demand. One or more of these risk elements could have an impact on costs of an operation and, if significant enough, reduce the profitability of the operation and threaten its continuation.

The mining industry is highly competitive.

The business of the acquisition, exploration, and development of mineral properties is intensely competitive. The Company will be required to compete, in the future, directly with other corporations that have better access to potential mineral resources, more developed infrastructure, more available capital, better access to necessary financing, and more knowledgeable and available employees than the Company. The Company may encounter competition in acquiring mineral properties, hiring mining professionals or obtaining mining resources, such as manpower, drill rigs, and other mining equipment. Such corporations could outbid the Company for potential projects or produce minerals at lower costs. Increased competition could also affect the Company’s ability to attract necessary capital funding or acquire suitable producing properties or prospects for mineral exploration in the future.

Mining and mineral exploration have substantial operational risks which are uninsured or uninsurable risks.

Exploration, development and mining operations involve various hazards, including environmental hazards, industrial accidents, metallurgical and other processing problems, unusual or unexpected rock formations, structural cave-ins or slides, flooding, fires, metal losses and periodic interruptions due to inclement or hazardous weather conditions. These risks could result in damage to or destruction of mineral properties, facilities or other property, personal injury, environmental damage, delays in operations, increased cost of operations, monetary losses and possible legal liability. The Company may not be able to obtain insurance to cover these risks at economically feasible premiums or at all. The Company may elect not to insure where premium costs are disproportionate to its perception of the relevant risks. The payment of such insurance premiums and of such liabilities would reduce the funds available for exploration and production activities.

The prices of precious and base minerals and metals fluctuate widely and may not produce enough revenue to cover the Company’s costs.

Even if commercial quantities of mineral deposits are discovered, there is no guarantee that a profitable market will exist for the sale of the metals produced. The Company’s long-term viability and profitability depend, in large part, upon the market price of metals which have experienced significant movement over short periods of time, and are affected by numerous factors beyond the Company’s control, including international economic and political trends, expectations of inflation, currency exchange fluctuations, interest rates and global or regional consumption patterns, speculative activities and increased production due to improved mining and production methods. The supply of and demand for metals are affected by various factors, including political events, economic conditions and production costs in major producing regions. There can be no assurance that the price of any minerals produced from the Company’s properties will be such that any such deposits can be mined at a profit.

Surface rights and access

Although the Company acquires the rights to some or all of the minerals in the ground subject to the tenures that it acquires, or has a right to acquire, in most cases it does not thereby acquire any rights to, or ownership of, the surface to the areas covered by its mineral tenures. In such cases, applicable mining laws usually provide for rights of access to the surface for the purpose of carrying on mining activities, however, the enforcement of such rights can be costly and time consuming. In areas where there are no existing surface rights holders, this does not usually cause a problem, as there are no impediments to surface access. However, in areas where there are local populations or land owners (as with many of the Company’s properties), it is necessary, as a practical matter, to negotiate surface access. There can be no guarantee that, despite having the right at law to access the surface and carry on mining activities, the Company will be able to negotiate a satisfactory agreement with any such existing landowners/occupiers for such access, and therefore it may be unable to carry out mining activities. In addition, in circumstances where such access is denied, or no agreement can be reached, the Company may need to rely on the assistance of local officials or the courts in such jurisdiction. The Company has not yet been successful in negotiating any formal surface access agreements.

Risks Associated with Regulatory Requirements

The Company is subject to significant environmental regulations that can change over time.

The activities of the Company are subject to extensive and changing environmental legislation, regulation and actions. The Company cannot predict what environmental legislation, regulation or policy will be enacted or adopted in the future or how future laws and regulations will be administered or interpreted. The recent trend in environmental legislation and regulation, generally, is toward stricter standards and this trend is likely to continue in the future. This recent trend includes, without limitation, laws and regulations relating to air and water quality, mine reclamation, waste handling and disposal, the protection of certain species and the preservation of certain lands. These regulations may require the acquisition of permits or other authorizations for certain activities. These laws and regulations may also limit or prohibit activities on certain lands. Compliance with more stringent laws and regulations, as well as potentially more vigorous enforcement policies or stricter interpretation of existing laws, may necessitate significant capital outlays, may materially affect the Company’s results of operations and business, or may cause material changes or delays in the Company’s intended activities.

The Company’s operations may require additional analysis in the future including environmental and social impact and other related studies. Certain activities require the submission and approval of environmental impact assessments. Environmental assessments of proposed projects carry a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and its directors, officers, and employees. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain or maintain all necessary permits that may be required to continue its operation or its exploration of its properties or, if feasible, to commence development, construction or operation of mining facilities at such properties on terms which enable operations to be conducted at economically justifiable costs.

The Company is subject to numerous regulatory requirements which it may not be able to comply with.

The Company’s activities are subject to extensive regulations governing various matters, including management and use of toxic substances and explosives, management of natural resources, exploration, development of mines, production and post-closure reclamation, exports, price controls, taxation, regulations concerning business dealings with indigenous peoples, labour standards on occupational health and safety, including mine safety, and historic and cultural preservation.

Failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations may result in civil or criminal fines or penalties, enforcement actions thereunder, 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, any of which could result in the Company incurring significant expenditures. The Company may also be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of a breach of such laws, regulations or permitting requirements. It is also possible that future laws and regulations, or more stringent enforcement of current laws and regulations by governmental authorities, could cause additional expense, capital expenditures, restrictions on or suspension of the Company’s operations and delays in the exploration and development of its mineral properties.

Risks Related to Financing

The Company has a history of losses and no revenues, and may never become profitable.

The Company is a mineral exploration company without operations and has historically incurred losses. To date, the Company has not recorded any revenues from its operations nor has the Company commenced commercial production on any of its properties. The Company does not expect to receive revenues from operations in the foreseeable future, if at all. The Company expects to continue to incur losses unless and until such time as properties enter into commercial production and generate sufficient revenues to fund its continuing operations.

Until such time, the Company will be dependent upon future financing in order to meet its capital requirements and continue its plan of operations. Although the Company has raised additional private placement financing in prior fiscal years, these funds may not be sufficient to undertake all planned acquisition, exploration, and development programs of the Company. The Company cannot guarantee that it will obtain necessary financing. The development of the Company’s properties will require the commitment of substantial resources to conduct the time-consuming exploration and development of properties. The amounts and timing of expenditures will depend on the progress of on-going exploration, assessment and development, the results of consultants’ analyses and recommendations, the rate at which operating losses are incurred, the execution of any joint venture agreements with strategic partners, the Company’s acquisition of additional properties and other factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control. The Company may never generate any revenues or achieve profitability.

The Company will require additional capital to meet its capital requirements for 2014 and for future fiscal years.

The Company does not have sufficient financial resources to undertake all of its planned acquisition and exploration programs for 2013. The Company’s ability to continue its exploration, assessment, and development activities depends in part on the Company’s ability to obtain financing through joint ventures, debt financing, equity financing, production sharing arrangements or some combination of these or other means, and ultimately, commence operations and generate revenue. There can be no assurance that any such arrangements will be concluded and the associated funding obtained. There can be no assurance that the Company will commence operations and generate sufficient revenues to meet its obligations as they become due or will obtain necessary financing on acceptable terms, if at all. The failure of the Company to meet its on-going obligations on a timely basis could result in the loss or substantial dilution of the Company’s interests (as existing or as proposed to be acquired) in its properties. In addition, should the Company incur significant losses in future periods, it may be unable to continue as a going concern, and realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in other than the normal course of business may be at amounts significantly different from those in the financial statements included in this Annual Report.

Currency fluctuation may affect the Company’s operations and financial stability.

While engaged in the business of exploiting mineral properties, the Company’s operations outside Canada make it subject to foreign currency fluctuation and such fluctuations may adversely affect the Company’s financial positions and results. Such fluctuations are outside the control of the Company and may be largely unpredictable. Management may not take any steps to address foreign currency fluctuations that will eliminate all adverse effects and, accordingly, the Company may suffer losses due to adverse foreign currency fluctuations.

Risks relating to an investment in the securities of the Company

The Company is dependent upon key management.

The success of the Company’s operations will depend upon numerous factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, including (i) the ability to design and carry out appropriate exploration programs on its mineral properties; (ii) the ability to produce minerals from any mineral deposits that may be located on its properties; (iii) the ability to attract and retain additional key personnel in exploration, marketing, mine development and finance; and (iv) the ability and the operating resources to develop and maintain the properties held by the Company. These and other factors will require the use of outside suppliers as well as the talents and efforts of the Company and its consultants and employees. There can be no assurance of success with any or all of these factors on which the Company’s operations will depend, or that the Company will be successful in finding and retaining the necessary employees, personnel and/or consultants in order to be able to successfully carry out such activities.

The Company’s growth, if any, will require new personnel, which it will be required to recruit, hire, train and retain.

The Company expects significant growth in the number of employees required if it determines that a mine at any of its properties is commercially feasible, it is able to raise sufficient funding and it elects to develop the property. This growth will place substantial demands on the Company and its management, and the Company’s ability to assimilate new personnel will be critical to its performance. The Company will be required to recruit additional personnel and to train, motivate and manage employees. It will also have to adopt and implement new systems in all aspects of its operations. This will be particularly critical if the Company decides not to use contract miners at any of its properties. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to recruit the personnel required to execute its programs or to manage these changes successfully.

The Company has 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 the necessary expertise when and if it places a property into production.

Certain of the Company’s directors and officers are also directors and/or officers and/or shareholders of potential competitors of the Company, giving rise to potential conflicts of interest.

Several of the Company’s directors and officers are also directors, officers or shareholders of other companies. Some of the directors and officers of the Company are engaged and will continue to be engaged in the search for additional business opportunities on behalf of other corporations, and situations may arise where these directors and officers will be in direct competition with the Company. Such associations may give rise to conflicts of interest from time to time. Such a conflict poses the risk that the Company may enter into a transaction on terms which could place the Company in a worse position than if no conflict existed. Conflicts, if any, will be dealt with in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). The Board has resolved that any transaction either at the Company level or of a subsidiary level, with entities having directors, officers or significant shareholders in common, must be approved by disinterested Board members. The Company’s directors are required by law to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company and to disclose any interest which they may have in any project or opportunity in respect of which the Company is proposing to enter into a transaction.

There are risks related to stock market prices and volume volatility.

The market for the Company’s common shares (“Common Shares”) may be highly volatile for reasons both related to the performance of the Company or events pertaining to the industry (i.e., mineral price fluctuation/high production costs/accidents) as well as factors unrelated to the Company or its industry. In particular, market demand for products incorporating minerals in their manufacture fluctuates from one business cycle to the next, resulting in change of demand for the mineral and an attendant change in the price for the mineral. The Common Shares can be expected to be subject to volatility in both price and volume arising from market expectations, announcements and press releases regarding the Company’s business, and changes in estimates and evaluations by securities analysts or other events or factors. In recent years the securities markets in the United States and Canada have experienced a high level of price and volume volatility, and the market price of securities of many companies, particularly small-capitalization companies such as the Company, have experienced wide fluctuations that have not necessarily been related to the operations, performances, underlying asset values, or prospects of such companies. For these reasons, the price of the Common Shares can also be expected to be subject to volatility resulting from purely market forces over which the Company has no control. Further, despite the existence of a market for trading the Common Shares in Canada and the United States, stockholders of the Company may be unable to sell significant quantities of Common Shares in the public trading markets without a significant reduction in the price of the stock.

Shareholder interests may be diluted through the granting of incentive stock options.

Because the success of the Company is highly dependent upon the performance of its directors, officers and consultants, the Company has granted, and will in the future grant, to some or all of its directors, officers and consultants, options to purchase its Common Shares as non-cash incentives. Those options may be granted at exercise prices below those for the Common Shares prevailing in the public trading market at the time or may be granted at exercise prices equal to market prices at times when the public market is depressed. To the extent that significant numbers of such options may be granted and exercised, the interests of the other stockholders of the Company may be diluted.

The Company may be a "passive foreign investment company" under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, which may result in material adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences to investors in Common Shares that are U.S. taxpayers.

Investors in common shares that are U.S. taxpayers should be aware that the Company believes it constituted a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) during the tax year ended January 31, 2013, and may be a PFIC in the current and future tax years. If the Company is a PFIC for any year during a U.S. shareholder’s holding period, then such U.S. shareholder generally will be required to treat any gain realized upon a disposition of Common Shares, or any so-called “excess distribution” received on its Common Shares, as ordinary income, and to pay an interest charge on a portion of such gain or distributions, unless the shareholder makes a timely and effective "qualified electing fund" election (“QEF Election”) or a "mark-to-market" election with respect to the Common Shares. A U.S. shareholder who makes a QEF Election generally must report on a current basis its share of the Company's net capital gain and ordinary earnings for any year in which the Company is a PFIC, whether or not the Company distributes any amounts to its shareholders. However, U.S. shareholders should be aware that there can be no assurance that we will satisfy record keeping requirements that apply to a qualified electing fund, or that we will supply U.S. shareholders with information that such U.S. shareholders require to report under the QEF Election rules, in the event that we are a PFIC and a U.S. shareholder wishes to make a QEF Election. Thus, U.S. shareholders may not be able to make a QEF Election with respect to their Common Shares. A U.S. shareholder who makes the mark-to-market election generally must include as ordinary income each year the excess of the fair market value of the Common Shares over the taxpayer’s basis therein. This paragraph is qualified in its entirety by the discussion below under the heading “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations.” Each U.S. shareholder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of the PFIC rules and the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of our Common Shares.

Broker-Dealers may be discouraged from effecting transactions in the Common Shares because they are considered “Penny Stocks” and are subject to the Penny Stock Rules.

Rules 15g-1 through 15g-9 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) impose sales practice and disclosure requirements on certain broker-dealers who engage in certain transactions involving a "penny stock". Subject to certain exceptions, a penny stock generally includes any equity security that has a market price of less than US$5.00 per share. The market price of the Common Shares over the year ended January 31, 2013 and through May 28, 2013 was at all times below US$5.00 and the Common Shares are deemed penny stock for the purposes of the Exchange Act. The additional sales practice and disclosure requirements imposed upon broker-dealers may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in the Common Shares, which could severely limit the market liquidity of the Common Shares and impede the sale of Common Shares in the secondary market.

Under the penny stock regulations, a broker-dealer selling penny stock to anyone other than an established customer or “accredited investor” (generally, an individual with net worth in excess of US$1,000,000 or an annual income exceeding US$200,000, or US$300,000 together with his or her spouse) must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and must receive the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to sale, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt.

In addition, the penny stock regulations require the broker-dealer to deliver, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the penny stock market, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt. A broker-dealer is also required to disclose commissions payable to the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, a broker-dealer is required to send monthly statements disclosing recent price information with respect to the penny stock held in a customer's account and information with respect to the limited market in penny stocks.

It may be difficult to enforce judgements against management or assets of the Company.

As many of the assets of the Company are located outside of Canada and the United States, and certain directors and officers of the Company are resident outside of Canada and/or the United States, it may be difficult or impossible to enforce judgements granted by a court in Canada or the United States against the assets of the Company or the directors and officers of the Company residing outside of such country.

The board of directors is currently comprised of four directors, only one of whom is independent.

The Board is currently comprised of four directors, only one of whom is independent. The Company is actively attempting to appoint an additional independent director to the Board in order to bring the Company into compliance with the corporate governance rules and regulations that it is subject to in Canada, however there is no assurance when this will occur, if at all. The lack of independent directors on the Board may weaken the quality of oversight of the Company’s management and compromise the Board’s effectiveness in carrying out its duties and responsibilities.

Many of the “Company’s assets are located in countries where there may be significant political risk.

The Company has mineral properties in Peru. In this country, mineral exploration and mining activities may be affected in varying degrees by political or economic instability, expropriation of property and changes in government regulations such as tax laws, business laws, environmental laws and mining laws. Any changes in regulations or shifts in political conditions are beyond the control of the Company and may materially adversely affect its business, or if significant enough, may make it impossible to continue to operate in that country. Operations may be affected in varying degrees by government regulations with respect to restrictions on production, price, controls, foreign exchange restrictions, export controls, income taxes, expropriation of property, environmental legislation and mine safety.

As a consequence of general economic conditions the Company may be faced with an inability to access capital in order to continue its operations.

Since 2008, the U.S. credit markets and experienced serious disruption due to a deterioration in residential property values, defaults and delinquencies in the residential mortgage market (particularly, sub-prime and non-prime mortgages) and a decline in the credit quality of mortgage backed securities. These problems have led to a slow-down on residential housing market transactions, declining housing prices, delinquencies in non-mortgage consumer credit and a general decline in consumer confidence. These conditions caused a loss of confidence in the broader U.S. and global credit and financial markets and resulted in the collapse of, and government intervention in, major banks, financial institutions and insurers and created a climate of greater tighter credit conditions. Notwithstanding various actions by the U.S. and foreign governments, concerns about the general condition of the capital markets, financial instruments, banks, investment banks, insurers and other financial institutions caused the broader credit markets to further deteriorate and stock markets to decline substantially. In addition, general economic indicators have deteriorated, including declining consumer sentiment, increased unemployment and declining economic growth and uncertainty about corporate earnings.

While these conditions appear to have improved slightly in 2011 and 2012, unprecedented disruptions in the credit and financial markets have had a significant material adverse impact on a number of financial institutions and have limited access to capital and credit for many companies. These disruptions could, among other things, make it more difficult for the Company to obtain, or increase its cost of obtaining, capital and financing for its operations. The Company’s access to additional capital may not be available on terms acceptable to it or at all.

The Company does not intend to pay cash dividends and there is no assurance that it will ever declare cash dividends.

The Company intends to retain any future earnings to finance its business and operations and any future growth. Therefore, the Company does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

4.B Business Overview

The Company is a mineral exploration company engaged in the acquisition, exploration of mineral properties. The Company currently has rights to acquire interests in a number of mineral properties in Peru. The Company is in the exploration stage as its properties have not yet reached commercial production and none of its properties are beyond the preliminary exploration stage. There are currently no identified mineral resources or mineral reserves on any of the Company’s mineral properties.

The Company has entered into seven option agreements granting the option to earn a 100% interest in certain mineral claims and mining concessions located in Peru that we collectively refer to as the Cordillera del Condor Project (consisting of the Vicmarama Property, Maravilla Property, Lahaina 1 Property, Lahaina 2 Property, David Property, Marita Property and Cangaza Property) and one option agreement granting us the option to earn a 100% interest in the Deborah Property. Peruvian Government approval is required prior to exercising the options to acquire these properties and [, as described below,] this approval is in the process of being obtained [for certain of the properties]. We previously held an additional option agreement related to the Cordillera del Condor Project, the option agreement for the Afrodita Property, but we terminated this agreement on April 30, 2012 in order to reduce our holding costs.

The material terms of our option agreements are as follows:

• We have fulfilled the commercial terms of the option to earn 100% interest in the Vicmarama Property. In order to earn a 100% interest in the Vicmarama Property, we agreed to issue a total of 750,000 common shares. 250,000 shares were issued on TSX-V approval and an additional 250,000 shares were issued on April 16, 2009 and the remaining 250,000 shares were issued on November 17, 2009. We also agreed to pay US$250,000 as consideration for the Vicmarama Property and the final instalment of US$50,000 was paid on April 24, 2009. Although the obligations to exercise the option under this agreement have been met, the option has not yet been exercised. The exercise of the option is also subject to receipt of the Supreme Decree to be issued by the Peruvian Government.

• We have fulfilled the commercial terms of the option to earn 100% interest in the Maravilla Property. In order to earn a 100% interest in the Maravilla Property, we agreed to issue 1,250,000 common shares, which have been issued. We also paid US$300,000 as consideration for the Maravilla Property. Although the obligations to exercise the option under this agreement have been met, the option has not yet been exercised. The exercise of the option is also subject to receipt of the Supreme Decree to be issued by the Peruvian Government.

• We have fulfilled the commercial terms of the option to earn a 100% interest in the Lahaina 1 Property. In order to earn the 100% interest in the Lahaina 1 Property, we issued 3,400,000 common shares. We also paid US$270,000 as additional consideration for the property. Although the obligations to exercise the option under this agreement have been met, the option has not yet been exercised. The exercise of the option is also subject to receipt of the Supreme Decree to be issued by the Peruvian Government.

• We have fulfilled the commercial terms of the option to earn 100% interest in the Lahaina 2 Property. In order to earn a 100% interest in the Lahaina 2 Property, we agreed to issue 1,500,000 common shares, of which 250,000 shares were issued upon TSX-V approval and an additional 500,000 shares were issued on April 16, 2009. The remaining 750,000 shares were issued on November 17, 2009. We also agreed to pay US$400,000 as additional consideration for the Lahaina 2 Property, which has been paid in full. Although the obligations to exercise the option under this agreement have been met, the option has not yet been exercised. The exercise of the option is also subject to receipt of the Supreme Decree to be issued by the Peruvian Government.

• On June 5, 2009, the Company entered into an assignment/option agreement to earn a 100% interest in the David Property. In order to earn a 100% interest we agreed to pay US$66,031 plus an additional consideration of US$5,000 on exercise of the option/assignment. The exercise of the option will be triggered by issuance of the Supreme Decree to the Company.

• On June 11, 2010, the Company entered into an option agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the Marita Property In order to earn the 100% interest we will pay US$200,000 within 10 days of TSX-V approval (approved on June 15, 2010 and paid) and issue an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares. 50,000 shares were issued on July 25, 2011, an additional 200,000 on or before June 15, 2012 and 750,000 on or before June 15, 2013. The exercise of the option is also subject to receipt of the Supreme Decree to be issued by the Peruvian Government.

• We have fulfilled the commercial terms of the option to earn 100% interest in the Cangaza Property by making cash payments of US$150,000 and issuing 1,050,000 common shares. Although the obligations to exercise the option under this agreement have been met, the option has not yet been exercised. The exercise of the option is subject to receipt of the Supreme Decree to be issued by the Peruvian Government.

• On September 16, 2011, the Company entered into an option agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the Deborah Gold property, Cajamarca, Peru. Under the terms of the option agreement, the Company can acquire a 100% interest in the property in exchange for cumulative payments of US$6,000,000 over a minimum of 5 years. The detailed terms of the option agreement are summarized in the table below.

Event	USD Cash Payments

The option agreement required an immediate payment of $50,000 on receipt of TSX-V approval (“Effective Date”). This payment was made and the Company commenced systematic surface exploration of the property in early February, 2012. A second payment of $200,000 is payable on the commencement of drilling (“Drill Date”) and all subsequent payments are tied to this drill-related anniversary. In addition, a royalty of $4.00 per ounce of gold produced is payable to the underlying vendors, up to a maximum of $2,000,000. There was no finder’s fee paid by the Company in connection with the Option Agreement.

• In April 2012, we terminated our option agreement relating to the Afrodita Property in the Cordillera del Condor Project in order to reduce our holding costs. As a result, the Company no longer holds any interest in this property and as at January 31, 2012, the Company’s interest in this property ($7,957,496) was written off.

• During the year ended January 31, 2013, the Company decided to channel its cash flows to develop the Deborah Property, as a result a portion of amounts capitalized to date for all other properties have been written-down to a value of $450,000.

Private Placements

On May 25, 2012, the Company closed a non-brokered private placement financing through the issuance of 13,190,391 shares at a price of $0.09 per share for total gross proceeds to the Company of $1,187,135 (the "Offering"). Proceeds from the Offering will be used to finance initial exploration of its Deborah Gold Property (100% owned) in Cajamarca, Peru and for general working capital.

Royalty Agreement with Franco-Nevada

On July 18, 2008, the Company entered into a Royalty Option Agreement with Franco-Nevada Corporation (“Franco-Nevada”). Pursuant to this agreement, Dorato granted Franco-Nevada the option to purchase a perpetual royalty on 100% of the gold and silver produced from a portion of the option agreement land package covering approximately 417 square kilometers (the "Option") which is part but not all of the concessions on the Lahaina 1 and 2, Maravilla and Vicmarama properties. The material terms of the Option were as follows:

•              The Option will expire the sooner of: (a) the expiration or termination of the concessions and surrounding land packages; or (b) sixty days following a decision to construct a mine;
•              The Option may be exercised within sixty days following a decision to construct a mine by Dorato and/or its successor in interest together with a firm commitment to finance construction;
•              The royalty rate shall be either 1% or 2% of the Net Smelter Return, dependent on the gold price at the time of the exercise of the Option; and
•              The Option may be exercised at a purchase price equal to the Royalty Net Present Value which, for the purposes of the Royalty Option Agreement, shall mean the after tax net present value of the royalty revenue from the production of gold and silver using the royalty rate and a 7.5% discount rate applied to the base case model assumptions contained in a feasibility study used to make the decision to construct the mine.

Amended Royalty Agreement

Dorato and Franco-Nevada entered into a Subscription Agreement dated March 31, 2009 pursuant to which Franco-Nevada agreed to purchase 2,000,000 units for $0.50 per Unit with each Unit to consist of one common share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant. Each full warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share of Company at a price of $0.65 per share until March 31, 2011. As additional consideration for Franco’s subscription, Dorato agreed to amend the July 18, 2008 Royalty Option Agreement to expand the size of the Mineral Property to which Franco’s royalty will apply to 417 square kilometers.

Royalty Purchase Agreement

June 22, 2012, Dorato entered into a Royalty Purchase Agreement with Franco-Nevada whereby Franco-Nevada has been granted a 2% net smelter return on the Company’s mineral properties in Peru in consideration of $350,000 in cash. This Agreement replaces the Royalty Option Agreement between the parties dated July 18^th , 2008 and amended March 31^st, 2009 which the parties mutually agreed to terminate.

Current State of Operations

Cordilla del Condor and Deborah are ‘grassroots’ exploration projects, meaning that there are no existing mine operations within the project area. The level of exploration across the projects varies from early stage, where only initial exploration data has been generated, to advanced, where an initial phase of drilling has been completed.

Early stage exploration begins with review of satellite imagery and existing regional geology maps, followed by airborne geophysical surveys. Geophysical surveys are rapid assessment tools that help generate targets for further exploration. At Cordillera del Condor, a helicopter was flown on lines spaced 400 meters apart. The instruments on the helicopter measured the physical properties of the rocks on the ground, including magnetic, electromagnetics and radiometrics. Once that data was reviewed, targets were defined for additional work on the ground. This includes geological mapping and surface geochemical sampling of stream sediments, soils and rocks. This sampling helps define areas for more detailed sampling and mapping. Ultimately, drill targets are defined based on an assessment of all data collected.

Advanced exploration is focused on initial drill-testing of these targets. This phase may involve anything from 5 to 50 drill holes depending on the type of mineral deposit encountered and the level of information required to make a decision to move forward. The ultimate aim is to discover a mineral deposit worthy of additional investigation.

Following advanced exploration, a project will move to resource definition if warranted. Drilling continues to define the deposit and ultimately an independent third party will calculate an initial resource. A project may go through several phases of drilling and resource estimation before a decision is made to move to more advanced studies.

Ultimately, a project would move through three phases of advanced studies called Preliminary Economic Assessment (also called a scoping study), Prefeasibility Study and a Feasibility Study. These studies may take several years. Ultimately on receipt of a positive feasibility study, a company is in a position to make a production decision – this is the final decision to build a mine and begin development work.

Mineral Properties – Cordillera del Condor

The Cordillera del Condor property is comprised of mineral claims and mining concessions, comprising approximately 99,617 hectares, located in northern Peru. The mineral rights extend along the easterly to southerly-facing slopes of the Cordillera del Condor, a north-northeast trending range the summit of which forms the border between Peru and Ecuador. The area is sparsely populated and covered by tropical rain forest. The mean elevation of the area is about 1,200 meters above sea level.

On the Ecuador side of the border, historical small-scale, high-grade, gold production is reported to have exceeded 100,000 ounces (oz.) per year. Modern exploration on the Ecuadorian side of the border has recently resulted in the discovery of Kinross Gold Corp’s Fruta del Norte Gold deposit (inferred resources of 13.6 million contained ounces gold at 7.23 grams per tonne (g/t) gold) and Dynasty Metals & Mining Inc.’s emerging Jerusalem Gold deposit in the Chinapintza district (measured & indicated resource of 0.58 million contained ounces gold at 12.4 g/t gold, plus inferred resources of 0.71 million contained ounces at 11.5 g/t gold). With their concessions surrounding Dynasty’s concessions, Ecuador Gold & Copper Corp. have reported total Measured and Indicated resources within their Condor Gold Project (comprising Los Cuyes, Soledad, and Santa Barbara) of 1.52 million ounces gold (50.4Mt @ 0.94 g/t Au), with an additional Inferred Resources of 1.28 million ounces gold within 28.4 Mt grading 1.4 g/t Au.

In addition to being a major gold belt, the Cordillera del Condor Belt is a prolific copper-gold porphyry belt, well known for discoveries like Corriente Resources Inc.’s (now CRCC-Tongguan Investment Co., Ltd.) Mirador copper-gold porphyry deposit (438 million measured & indicated tonnes at 0.61% copper, 0.19 g/t gold, and inferred resources of 235 million tonnes at 0.52% copper, 0.17 g/t gold) and the Mirador Norte copper-gold porphyry deposit (indicated 171 million tonnes at 0.51% copper, 0.09 g/t gold; and an inferred 46 million tonnes at 0.51% copper, 0.07 g/t gold). There are two additional porphyry deposits 40 km to the north of Mirador, with Inferred resources of 463 Mt at 0.66 % Cu (Inferred Resource category as per CIM, 2005) at Panantza, and 600 Mt at 0.59 % Cu at San Carlos.

The technical information with respect to the above deposits was obtained through the respective companies’ public disclosure documents available on SEDAR but has not been independently verified by us. Inferred resources are considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. As such, there is no certainty that the resources will be converted to reserves in the future.

In contrast, the Peruvian portion, which geologically comprises approximately 45-50% of the Cordillera del Condor belt, is mostly unexplored. Key features on the Peruvian side such as shared geology, structural setting, proximity and extensions of known mineralized trends as well as numerous placer and hard-rock gold occurrences indicate that the framework and potential is present to form very significant gold and copper deposits.

Dorato, through a series of option agreements detailed above, had the right to earn a 100% interest in approximately 950 square kilometres of exploration ground. The work program, operated by Minera Afrodita returned excellent drill and regional results to date, with discoveries of several significant, gold and copper-bearing systems. However, none of these discoveries warranted further work to outline resources. Future work will concentrate on regional geochemical sampling over the remaining 80% of the concessions that to date still lack surface exploration.

Phase III regional exploration began in July 2010 using airborne geophysical data collection to generate initial targets to be followed up with stream geochemical sampling. The regional airborne geophysical survey was completed in May, 2011 and collected the same magnetic and electromagnetic data as the 2008 airborne survey, with an additional radiometric component to potentially help identify porphyry mineralization. Magnetic, electromagnetic and radiometric data now covers 115 kilometres of strike length along the belt, or 92 000Ha.

A review of the data has outlined 18 geophysical targets (see News Release of Dec 6, 2010), including the drill-tested Lucero (T1) and Cobrecon (T4) targets. Up to July 2011, these new anomalies were being investigated on the ground with detailed silt and reconnaissance rock sampling and mapping. The targets were re-prioritized based on the geochemical and geological results. The targets are likely to shift and more emerge as the anomalies are ground-proofed and new ideas generated.

The targets are identified based on their anomalous magnetic and EM signatures. Using Lucero as a model, the magnetic highs with associated EM conductors are probably due to magnetite-pyrite skarn mineralization. Where there is skarn, there should be associated porphyry mineralization and possible sediment-hosted disseminated mineralization.

The first step in verifying the targets as prospective gold-copper mineralization is to collect close-spaced silt samples and reconnaissance rock samples from the creeks draining the anomaly. Each target will be first silt sampled, and then soil and channel rock samples will be collected from the most geochemically anomalous targets. The most robust soil and rock sample anomalies will then be drilled. This work was started in the main concession block, moving south from Cobrecon, but was halted due to social problems arising near target T12 in May 2011. Consequently the focus has shifted to the Ponce Atunez block, where exploration activity will not affect any communities.

Dorato, through Minera Afrodita, collected a total of 1,040 rock samples, 100 stream sediment samples and 857 soil samples during the 2009 program. A further 1,300 rock samples, 8 stream sediment samples, and 870 soil samples were collected during the 2010 exploration program. Sampling commenced again in late January 2011, with the continuation of soil and rock sampling at the Cobrecon (T4) Cu-Au porphyry target, which in April advanced to the drill stage. Regional targets up to T8 have now been silt sampled, with advance helipads completed to T13. A few reconnaissance rock and silt samples have also been collected from the Ponce Atunez block, near targets T16-18. To date there have been 600 rock, 971 soil, and 80 silt samples collected.

Taricori Gold Veins

The Taricori Gold Zone drill program was completed in late 2010 and no further work is planned by the company, as the project falls entirely within the Minera Afrodita concession block. The project was advanced through early-stage exploration to advanced exploration (initial drill-testing). The drill program discovered high-grade, narrow vein-hosted gold mineralization. However, the discovery was considered to be of limited size and of limited potential interest to major mining companies seeking an acquisition opportunity. For this reason, the next step in the exploration process, resource definition, was not pursued.

Lucero Skarn and Porphyry

The Lucero discovery, located in the Taricori Block, was defined initially by coincident magnetic and electromagnetic geophysical anomalies and anomalous silt geochemistry. Follow-up rock sampling and trenching (48.9 meters grading 3.97 g/t gold and 0.25% copper) defined a mineralized zone 1,000 by 750 meters in size. Lucero is a 100% grass-roots discovery and was not previously exposed by informal miners. On completion of early-stage exploration, Minera Afrodita moved to advanced exploration, completing 25 drill holes totalling 5,975 meters. The discovery was considered to be of limited size and of limited potential interest to major mining companies seeking an acquisition opportunity. For this reason, the next step in the exploration process, resource definition, was not pursued. The company is seeking a joint venture agreement with a junior or mid-tier mining company, for whom the discovery could potentially be of considerable interest. Only a small portion along the western margin of Lucero is affected by the release of the Minera Afrodita concessions, including three drill holes (LUC-04, 05 and 07) that did not intersect significant gold or copper mineralization.

Cobrecon Cu-Au Porphyry

AngloGold completed work in this area in 2004-05, under an option agreement with Minera Afrodita. They explored the northern portion of the Cobrecon area, which they called Conguime. Their silt sampling outlined a broad geochemical anomaly, which Afrodita’s recent silt sampling later corroborated.

Cobrecon comprises three separate target areas. All areas have undergone early-stage exploration (geophysics, geochemistry, mapping, drill target generation). The Cobrecon Cu-Au porphyry target contains multiple anomalies over several kilometres, with the Phase I drilling completed on the northern anomaly. Zonation of the soil geochemical anomaly suggests three porphyry systems are present. Two of these, Cobrecon and Cobrecon Sur, are now well-defined at surface by ridge and crest soil sampling, while the latest discovery, Cobrecon Este, is open to the south and east, pending further surface sampling, but appears to be the same size as the other two anomalies based on the EM anomaly.

The termination of the Minera Afrodita option agreement affects the Cobrecon area significantly, in that the northern target (Cobrecon) is divided roughly in half, and the south anomaly (Cobrecon Sur) is reduced by roughly 75%. Cobrecon Este and anomalous silt samples to the south are unaffected by the change in concession coverage.

Porphyry systems are already known in the Ecuadorian portion of the Cordillera del Condor range with deposits such as Mirador, Panantza, and San Carlos (Corriente Resources) to the north, stretching over 40 km north-south from the border. These are significant deposits, with Mirador and Mirador Norte containing 609 MT at 0.58% Cu and 0.17 g/t Au Indicated, with additional Inferred resources of 281 Mt at 0.52% Cu and 0.15 g/t Au. The Panantza and San Carlos deposits, 40 km to the north of Mirador, contain 463 Mt of Inferred at 0.66 % Cu at Panantza, and 600 Mt at 0.59 % Cu at San Carlos. These are all classic calc-alkaline Cu-Au porphyries related to the emplacement of Late Jurassic subvolcanic intrusions into the late Middle Jurassic Zamora granite batholith. The identical geology occurs at Cobrecon.

Also in Ecuador, and to the south of Taricori and the Chinapintza District, El Hito and Santa Barbara represent two additional, albeit weakly mineralized, porphyry systems. The deposits have not been dated but are probably the same age as the Corriente porphyries, as they occur in the same rocks. El Hito, situated on the Peruvian border just northwest of and contiguous with Cobrecon Sur, contains copper mineralization in a coarse-grained quartz diorite to granodiorite stock. Valerie Gold drilled four core holes in 2000 in the central part of the deposit on the Ecuadorian side, which returned intersections up to 300 metres long grading about 0.3% Cu, with minor gold. Recently, Ecuador Gold & Copper Corp. has drilled five holes at El Hito as part of a 10,000 metre programme testing four targets in the area, including nearby Santa Barbara. A March, 2013 news release reported intersections of 244 metres of 0.51% Cu and 1.28 g/t Ag at El Hito.

Santa Barbara is a high-level Cu-Au porphyry-skarn deposit located about 4 km west of El Hito. Mineralization is described as occurring in stockwork zones in altered porphyry and within skarn zones in a roof pendant of Misahualli volcanics. Results of trenching and drilling by Valerie Gold in 2000 indicated significant potential resources of disseminated gold mineralization. Ecuador Copper & Gold commenced drilling seven holes at Santa Barbara in August, 2012. In April, 2013, their fourth hole intercepted 430 metres of 0.86 g/t Au and 0.14% Cu. The Santa Barbara South Zone currently hosts an NI 43 – 101 compliant inferred resource of 21.0 Mt of 1.00 g/t Au (675,000 oz.) while the Santa Barbara North zone (500m to the northeast), contains a further inferred resource of 5.0 Mt of 0.90 g/t Au (145,000 oz.). For further details see the Company’s web site at www.ecuadorgoldandcopper.com or the June 14, 2012 Technical Report at www.sedar.com.

Deborah Property

On September 28, 2011, the Company announced that it entered into an option agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the Deborah Gold property, Cajamarca, Peru. The property is located only one hour east of the city of Cajamarca, with good access via paved and dirt roads, and is nestled between several major ore deposits including Anglo American’s Michiquillay Copper-Gold Porphyry, located 6 kilometres to the southwest (631MT of 0.69% copper, 0.15 g/t gold, and 0.02% moly) and China Minmetals and Jiangxi Copper Corp’s El Galeno Copper-Gold Porphyry, located 6 kilometres to the north (661MT of 0.50% copper, 0.12 g/t gold), though it is not possible to determine if similar results will be obtained from the property.

Location and Regional Geology, Deborah Project

Regional Context

There are several major, large scale producing mines and significant development projects in the belt and, more importantly, in the immediate vicinity of the property. The geology between all local deposits is similar, with mineralization related to Miocene dacite porphyry stocks intruding Lower to Upper Cretaceous carbonate and sandstone units, though it is not possible to determine if the Deborah property will be similar.

The Michiquillay deposit (6 kilometres to the southeast) is controlled by Anglo American Plc., who acquired the deposit in 2007, having submitted the winning bid in a public auction process. Anglo acquired the property for $403 million. The deposit hosts 631 Mt grading 0.69% copper, 0.15 g/t gold, with 100–200 ppm molybdenum. Exploration and resource definition is on-going.

The El Galeno and Hilorico deposits are controlled by Lumina Copper S.A.C., jointly owned by China Minmetals (60%) and Jiangxi Copper Corp. (40%). Copper Bridge Acquisition Corp (“CBAC”) acquired the deposit from Northern Peru Copper Corporation in 2008 for $455M. At the time of sale, the prefeasibility study estimated probable reserves of 661Mt grading 0.50% copper, 0.12 g/t gold, and 0.013% molybdenum.

The gold breccia at Hilorico, 1 kilometre northeast of Galeno on the adjacent El Molino concession, may be the closest geological analogue to Deborah property, although this interpretation will have to be tested by future exploration. Northern Peru Copper completed 13,000 metres of drilling at Hilorico before the transaction with CBAC in 2008. Historic drill intersections of note include 213 metres of 1.04 g/t Au and 1.6 g/t Ag, and 82.5 metres of 1.04 g/t Au. According to the 2007 Prefeasibility study (NI 43-101 compliant), the deposit contains Inferred Resources of 19.4MT at 0.65 g/t gold and 3.3 g/t silver (407,000 ounces using a 0.3g/t gold cut-off in the oxide zone,), with additional sulphide resources of 21.3MT at 0.93 g/t gold and 4.8 g/t silver (641,000 ounces at 0.5g/t gold cut-off).

The technical information with respect to the above deposits was obtained through the respective companies’ public disclosure documents, and has not been independently verified by us.

Deborah Exploration History

There are numerous exploration and small scale gold production adits on the Deborah property developed over the last 100 years targeting gold-rich structures, replacements and breccia bodies. Newmont Peru drilled 13 holes at Deborah in 2006 in the area of historic workings, targeting the down dip extension of the near vertical mantos (bedding parallel layer) of gold and silver-bearing sulphides and related SE trending breccia zones along the western edge and in the southeast corner of the concession. A large area of almost no outcrop in the centre of the property was not drill tested, nor surface sampled.

The underlying property vendors have provided historical exploration data from Newmont’s exploration drill program. Gold and silver assay results include:

DRILL HOLE	THICKNESS (m)	GOLD (g/t)	SILVER (g/t)
DEB-002	9.20	1.26	2.6
DEB-003	51.35	0.51	3.4
and	44.00	0.73	12.3
DEB-004	47.75	0.59	18.0
DEB-005A	4.05	1.30	43.0

These holes appear to have targeted breccia in quartzite adjacent to an area of sulphide veining in the southwest corner of the concession, where surface channel samples returned anomalous precious metal values.

Deborah Geology

Thick-bedded to massive quartzite of the Late Jurassic Chicama Formation and/or Lower Cretaceous Chimu Formation is intruded by hornblende granodiorite and dacite porphyry, the latter of which forms a large recessively weathered central stock on the property

Carbonate of the Santa Formation is present in the northeast corner of the concession, apparently in fault contact across a 1-5m wide pyrite-bearing breccia. These units are the same as those hosting mineralization at El Galeno 6 km to the northwest, and Michiquillay 6 km to the southwest.

Exploration Potential

The 13 holes drilled by Minera Yanacocha (Newmont) are concentrated in the area of historic workings, and appear to have targeted the down dip extension of the near-vertical gold-silver rich replacement bodies and related southeast trending breccia along the western edge of the concession. None of the holes were drilled under an extensive recessive zone northeast of the main quartzite hill, and neither was the area covered in the surface rock sampling. Part of this area was mapped as dacite porphyry, though it is much more recessive than the dacite porphyry to the south.

Mineralization at the Galeno porphyry deposit is also recessive and forms a topographically low area in the surrounding resistive quartzite. The central recessive zone at Deborah is therefore considered a prospective area, as this is where highly fractured and mineralized zones might be expected to occur. The recessive zone is in fact on strike with the tectonic breccia related to the regional Punre fault, which geologically connects Deborah with the Hilorico gold-breccia target east of Galeno, and may represent a splay of the structure. Also, the carbonate could be an important unit in terms of hosting disseminated mineralization in permeable (decalcified) sandy horizons along strike and adjacent to the mineralized breccia. This target has yet to be drill tested.

Phase 1 Exploration Completed

The first phase of surface exploration commenced in February 2012 following receipt of approvals for surface access from the land title holders. Soil lines spaced 100 meters apart, with samples spaced 50 meters apart were covered a 120 Ha core area of the property. Outcrops within this area were also chip sampled, mostly over 1-2 meter lengths. Assay results from soils returned a maximum value of 1.78 g/t gold, with 20% of the soil samples returning >0.129 g/t gold and 10% returning >0.284 g/t gold. The sampling has defined two gold anomalies that are approximately 400 meters each in extent when contoured at the 0.1 g/t gold level. Both anomalies show a strong correlation with pathfinder elements arsenic and antimony, as well as silver and lead. Overburden, comprising quartzite talus from the main ridge, covers the area between the two anomalies and possibly mineralization linking them into a singular northeast-trending zone.

The central anomaly is a circular feature at the intersection of northwest- and southwest-trending structures, on the northeast flank of the main ridge. One artisanal working was discovered, and breccia within this assayed 0.43 g/t gold over 2 meters. The central anomaly has significantly less silver than the soil anomaly over the western breccias drilled by Newmont in 2006, suggesting a different type of mineralization. The north-eastern anomaly abuts the eastern boundary of the concession and is open to the north. One rock sample from the south edge of the anomaly returned 1.24 g/t gold over 1.5 meters.

The soil samples returned better gold values than the soil samples, supporting the exploration model that gold mineralization at Deborah is hosted by recessive, sulphide-rich material that does not crop out well and remains under-sampled.

Work Completed, Gold Soil Anomaly, Deborah Project

Work Plan

The second phase of surface work will be approximately 800 meters of hand-trenching on both central and northeast anomalies, with additional soil samples to close off the northeast anomaly. Some test pits will also be excavated in the area of talus to determine depth to bedrock, and sampled where appropriate. Results from the second phase of work will identify follow-up drill targets.

Qualified Person and QA/QC

John Drobe, P.Geo., Dorato’s Vice President of Exploration and a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, reviews and is responsible for the scientific and technical information that forms the basis of all public disclosures. Mr. Drobe is not independent of the Company as he is an officer and a shareholder.

The Company has Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) protocols in place for all drilling, geophysics, rock, soil, and stream sediment sampling programs as part of all geochemical sampling, sample preparation, sample shipping and sample analysis and compilation procedures.

Quality control and quality assurance is implemented in the field and results are monitored regularly throughout the sampling programs. Blind certified reference material, certified coarse blank material, quarter-core duplicates and preparation duplicates are inserted at regular intervals (1/20) into the sample sequence. On-site personnel rigorously collect and track samples which are then security sealed and trucked by a third party shipper to either the ACME affiliate preparation laboratory in Cuenca, Ecuador, for the Cordillera del Condor project, or to ALS Laboratories in Lima, Peru, for the Deborah property. Here the samples’ weights are recorded and the samples are cross-referenced with the sampling list.

For samples sent to ACME, after coarse crushing and pulverizing to >80% passing 200 mesh, a 250g split is forwarded to ACME Analytical Laboratories (“ACME”) in Vancouver, BC, Canada for analysis. ACME's quality system complies with the requirements for the international standards ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 17025:2005. Samples are analysed for gold by fire assay (30g) and forty additional elements by four-acid digestion with an ICP-MS finish. Any sample over 10 g/t gold are re-analysed by gravimetric fire assay (30g) for gold and silver. Any sample returning over 1% copper, lead or zinc are re-analysed by the base metal assay method with an ICP-OES finish. Analytical accuracy and precision are also regularly monitored by the laboratory through the analysis of reagent blanks, reference material and replicate samples. In addition, representative blind duplicate samples are routinely forwarded to an ISO-compliant third party laboratory for additional quality control.

Soil samples sent to ALS Peru are sieved to passing 180 microns (80 mesh) and then 25g (gold) and 0.5g (51 element) splits are dissolved using an aqua-regia digestion, followed by an ICP-MS finish. Rock samples are crushed to 70% passing 2mm , then 250g are pulverized to 75% passing 75 microns. They are then analysed for gold by fire assay (25g) and 33 elements by four-acid digestion with an ICP-AES finish (>1.0g) . The ALS analytical laboratory in Lima is ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 17025:2005 certified.

ITEM 5. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS

The Company is in the business of acquiring, exploring and evaluating interests in mineral properties. The Company’s current property interests are held for the purposes of exploration for precious and base metals.

5.A Operating Results

Year ended January 31, 2013 compared to the year ended January 31, 2012

We incurred a net loss of $7,130,314 for the year ended January 31, 2013, compared to a net loss of $17,091,671 in the prior year. The net loss was due mainly to the write-down of interests in exploration and evaluation properties of $5,459,566 (2012 - $7,957,496) resulting from the exploration and evaluation costs that remain in the central north and south zones as the Company decided to channel its cash flows to develop the Deborah Property. Other significant comparative changes offsetting the foreign exchange gain (loss) are as follows:

Consulting fees of $150,084 compared to $425,926 in the prior year. The decrease in consulting fees was affected by a change in the method of accounting for personnel and other administrative costs at our Peruvian subsidiary, and from efforts to lower consulting fees and use the liquidities for exploration and evaluation projects.

Exploration and evaluation costs of $990,110 were incurred during the year compared to $6,601,455 recorded in the prior year. The decrease is mainly due to less work performed as a result of the poor commodity and equity markets.

Investor relations expenses of $15,310 compared to $453,199 recorded in the prior year. The decrease is due to effort in lowering marketing costs. This also includes $nil (2012 - $117,251) of share-based payments.

Professional fees of $102,379 compared to $309,654 recorded in the prior year. The decreased is due to lower fees associated with mineral property acquisitions and other regulatory matters.

Regulatory fees of $48,595 (2012 - $40,421) increased due to the fees and related costs associated with maintaining listing requirements.

Travel expenses of $29,524 were incurred in the year compared to $121,972 in the prior year. The decrease is primarily due to lower activity.

Wages and benefits of $85,891 were incurred compared to $512,980 in prior year. The decrease was due to downsizing the administrative personnel required for our Peruvian mineral projects.

Year ended January 31, 2012 compared to the year ended January 31, 2011

We incurred a net loss of $17,091,671 for the year ended January 31, 2012, compared to a net loss of $13,728,240 in the prior year. The increase in the net loss was due mainly to the write-off of interests in exploration properties of $7,957,496 (2011 - $Nil) resulting from our decision to terminate the Afrodita option agreement in May 2012 in order to reduce our holding costs and a foreign exchange loss of $381,245 (2011 – foreign exchange gain of $259,129) resulting from changes in the value of Peruvian currency in relation to the Canadian dollar. Other significant comparative changes offsetting the foreign exchange gain (loss) are as follows:

Consulting fees of $425,926 compared to $2,002,486 in the prior year. The decrease in consulting fees was affected by a change in the method of accounting for personnel and other administrative costs at our Peruvian subsidiary, and from efforts to lower consulting fees and use the liquidities for exploration and evaluation projects. This category also includes $nil (2011 - $1,061,516) of share-based payments.

Exploration and evaluation costs of $6,601,455 were incurred during the year compared to $9,741,264 recorded in the prior year. The decrease is mainly due to end of the drilling program on the Cordillera del Condor project in 2012. This category also includes $nil (2011 - $645,465) of share-based payments.

Investor relations expenses of $453,199 compared to $852,031 recorded in the prior year. The decrease is due to effort in lowering marketing costs. This also includes $117,251 (2011 - $289,966) of share-based payments.

Professional fees of $309,654 compared to $476,101 recorded in the prior year. The decreased is due to lower fees associated with mineral property acquisitions and other regulatory matters. This category also included stock-based compensation expenses of $nil (2011 - $36,795).

No property investigation costs were incurred in the year compared to $37,750 recorded last year.

Regulatory fees of $40,421 (2011 - $108,731) decreased due to the fees associated with listing the Company’s stock in the US OTC market in the prior year.

Travel expenses of $121,972 were incurred in the year compared to $270,628 in the prior year. The decrease is primarily due to lower activity.

Wages and benefits of $512,980 were incurred compared to $139,341 in prior year. The increase was due to increase in administrative personnel required for our Peruvian mineral projects.

Dorato’s mineral rights in Peru are currently subject to regulations that may be subject to change, and may become subject to new regulations, which could impose significant costs and burdens.

Exploration activities in Peru depend on mining concessions for exploration and ultimately for exploitation works, obtained from the Geologic, Mining and Metallurgic Institute (Instituto Geológico Minero Metalúrgico), or the INGEMMET. In addition, operations in Peru depend on obtaining other administrative rights, such as provisional permits, from the Ministry of Energy and Mines, or the MEM, and for exploration rights on the area of a claim. In Peru, ownership of a mining concession by a foreign entity within 50 kilometres of the national border is subject to issuance of a Supreme Decree from the Peruvian Government. All of the Company’s option properties are within 50 kilometres of the Peruvian national border. Thus, the Company must obtain a Supreme Decree from the Peruvian Government in respect of all of the mining concessions comprising the Company’s properties. In addition, the terms of the option agreements through which the Company holds its property interests require issuance of a Supreme Decree before the options can be exercised. The Company has applied for, but not been issued, the Supreme Decree.

Under Peru’s current regulatory regime, mining concessions for the exploration and exploitation of minerals have an indefinite term, subject to compliance by the titleholder with the obligations set forth by the General Mining Act (Ley General de Minería), or the LGM. Compliance with such obligations is required to maintain the mining concessions in good standing. Among such obligations are the payment of an Annual Concession Fee (equivalent to U.S.$3 per hectare) and compliance with a minimum annual production target. Failure to pay the Annual Concession Fee for any two consecutive or non-consecutive years may result in the cancellation of the relevant mining concession.

If the INGEMMET or the MEM revoke or cancel any of Dorato’s option concessions, Dorato’s financial condition and results of exploration activities could be adversely affected.

On June 24, 2004, the Peruvian Congress approved the Mining Royalty Law, which established a mining royalty that owners of mining concessions must pay to the Peruvian government for the exploitation of metallic and non-metallic resources. This royalty is calculated on a sliding scale with rates ranging from 1% to 3% over the value of mineral concentrates based on international market prices. As provided by the Mining Royalty Law, effective since January 26, 2007, the Peruvian Tax Authority is responsible for the collection of mining royalties.

There can be no assurance that the Peruvian government will not impose additional mining royalties or payments in the future or that they will not have an adverse effect on future operations. Dorato has no mining operations on the property.

Details of Regulatory and Supervisory Entities

In general terms, the principal regulator of mining activities in Peru is the Ministry of Energy and Mines, or the MEM, through its General Bureau of Mining (Dirección General de Minería), or DGM, and its General Bureau of Mining and Environmental Affairs (Dirección General de Asuntos Ambientales Mineros), or DGAAM. Other regulatory institutions are the Geological, Mining and Metallurgical Institute (Instituto Geológico Minero Metalúrgico), or the INGEMMET; the Supervisory Body of Investment in Energy and Mining (Organismo Supervisor de la Inversión en Energía Minería), or the OSINERGMIN; and the Assessment and Environment Supervising Agency (Organismo de Evaluación y Fiscalización Ambiental), or the OEFA, which was created in 2008 and entered into operation in 2010.

The DGM is the senior body of the MEM overseeing the mining industry. It reports directly to the Office of the Vice-Minister of Mining and is responsible for, among other things, the promotion of mining activities, the granting of beneficiation, ore transportation and general working concessions, the proposal of welfare, health and safety regulations.

The DGAAM has the following duties, among others: (i) propose policy and legal provisions for environmental conservation and protection in the mining sector; (ii) approve technical standards for the appropriate application of regulations on environmental conservation and protection to apply to activities of the mining sector; and (iii) assess environmental and social impacts derived from activities of the mining sector, establishing the preventive and corrective measures necessary to control such impacts.

The INGEMMET has the following duties, among others: (i) process mining claims, grant titles to mining concessions and act on applications relating to mining rights pursuant to law; (ii) keep the National Mining Land Register (Catastro Minero); administer and distribute the Annual Concession Fee, or ACF, and collect any penalties for failure to meet minimum annual production targets; and (iii) cancel mining claims or mining concessions pursuant to applicable laws.

The OSINERGMIN supervises and inspects mining activities as regards matters of mine safety and health. Until July 2010, OSINERGMIN also oversaw the environmental compliance of mining activities.

Since July 2010, all supervising, inspecting and sanctioning duties regarding environmental matters have been undertaken by the Organization for Environmental Assessment (Organismo de Evaluación Ambiental), or the OEFA. The OEFA is also responsible for proposing to the Ministry of Environment the scale of penalties applicable to each type of infringement pursuant to the Environmental Act.

Details of Concessions

In accordance with the LGM, mining activities (except surveying, prospecting and trading) must be performed exclusively under the concession system. A concession confers upon its holder the exclusive right to develop a specific exploration activity within a defined area.

Mining concessions confer the right to explore and exploit the mineralization granted which is within a solid of undefined depth, limited by vertical planes corresponding to the sides of a square, rectangle or closed polygon, the vertices of which refer to Universal Transversal Mercator, or UTM, coordinates. A mining concession is a real property interest independent and separate from surface land located within the UTM coordinates of the concession. It is granted by the INGEMMET. Once the claimed area is subject to a mining concession, the titleholder must register its title with the Public Mining Registry (Registro de Derechos Mineros) administered by the National Superintendent of Public Registers (Superintendencia Nacional de Registros Públicos) where all the agreements, resolutions and acts thereto must also be registered.

Holders of mining concessions or pending claims for mining concessions must comply with several obligations, including payment of the ACF, which is equivalent to U.S.$3.00 per hectare per year. Default in payment of the ACF for two consecutive or non-consecutive years may result in cancellation of the relevant concession or claim.

Environmental

During the 1990s, a modern environmental practice that conforms to the international environmental standards was established and made generally applicable to most of the mining industry. In 1990, the Environmental Code was enacted, which established for the first time a legal and institutional system to preserve the environment. In 1993, the Environmental Protection Regulations for Mining and Metallurgical Activities were enacted. On October 15, 2005, the Environmental Act completely repealed and replaced the Environmental Code.

As of July 2010, OEFA, rather than OSINERGMIN, is responsible for performing periodic Environmental Audits to supervise compliance with the commitments undertaken in the respective EIAs and/or PAMA.

5.B Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents were $38,081 as at January 31, 2013 compared to $60,151 as at January 31, 2012. As at January 31, 2012 the Company had a negative working capital of $1,026,906 compared to negative working capital of $961,191 as of January 31, 2012. On May 25, 2012 the Company closed a non-brokered private placement of 13,190,391 shares at $0.09 cents per share for gross proceeds of $1,187,135. Finders’ fees of $5,049 were paid to certain finders for part of the private placement. In addition the Company has negotiated extended payments terms with certain vendors.

However, the report of our independent auditors on our financial statements for the year ended January 31, 2013 includes a note stating that our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal business operations when they become due. At the present time, the Company anticipates that its current liquidity and capital resources will be sufficient to fund its planned operations for approximately 4 months. After such time, the Company expects that it will require additional financing to fund its planned exploration of our current exploration properties and to continue its operations (including general and administrative expenses). There is significant uncertainty that the Company will be able to continue to secure additional financing in the current equity markets – see “Risk Factors – Insufficient Financial Resources/Share Price Volatility”. The quantity of funds to be raised and the terms of any proposed equity financing that may be undertaken will be negotiated by management as opportunities to raise funds arise. No assurance can be provided that the efforts of management will be successful.

The Company has not entered into any long-term lease commitments nor is the Company subject to any mineral property commitments other than those outlined under Note 8 in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended January 31, 2013.

The Company has no exposure to any asset-backed commercial paper. Other than cash held by its subsidiary for their immediate operating needs in Peru, all of the Company’s cash and cash equivalent reserves are on deposit with a major Canadian chartered bank. The Company does not believe that the credit, liquidity or market risks with respect thereto have increased as a result of the current market conditions. However, in order to achieve greater security for the preservation of its capital, the Company has, of necessity, been required to accept lower rates of interest which has also lowered its potential interest income.

The Company has no revenue generating operations from which it can internally generate funds. To date, the Company’s on-going operations have been predominantly financed by the sale of its equity securities by way of private placements and the subsequent exercise of share purchase warrants and options. However, the exercise of warrants/options is dependent primarily on the market price and overall market liquidity of the Company’s securities at or near the expiry date of such warrants/options (over which the Company has no control) and therefore there can be no guarantee that any existing warrants/options will be exercised. In addition, the Company can seek to raise funds through the sale of interests in its exploration properties, although current market conditions have substantially reduced the number of potential buyers/acquirers of any such interest(s). This situation is unlikely to change until such time as the Company can develop a bankable feasibility study on one of its projects. When acquiring an interest in exploration properties through purchase or option the Company will from time to time issue common shares to the vendor or optionee of the property as partial or full consideration for the property interest in order to conserve its cash (the majority of the Company’s outstanding option agreements require the issuance of common shares of the Company, as opposed to cash payments, to the vendors thereof).

In Q3 2011, the Company significantly reduced its staff on the Cordillera del Condor project, keeping only a few people to run the Taricori camp in care and maintenance mode. In April 2012, the Minera Afrodita agreement was terminated to reduce holding costs. The Company is conserving its working capital to the extent possible while still focusing on the development of its Peruvian mineral properties.

Such associations may give rise to conflicts of interest from time to time. Such a conflict poses the risk that we may enter into a transaction on terms which place us in a worse position than if no conflict existed. Our directors are required by law to act honestly and in good faith with a view to our best interests and to disclose any interest which they may have in any project or opportunity of the company.

Effective December 1, 2008, the Board approved the payment of an annual retainer and meeting fees to the directors who are not also executive officers of the Company, in recognition of the fact that service as a director in an active resource exploration company such as the Company requires a significant commitment of time and effort, as well as the assumption of increasing liability. Directors who were not executive officers and did not receive any consulting fees from the Company received a monthly retainer fee of $2,000 ($24,000 per annum), plus an additional fee of $500 per Board or committee meeting attended in person or by conference telephone, with no additional compensation paid with respect to committee membership. Starting July 2011, in effort to reduce costs of the Company the directors fees were reduced to $Nil until further notice. The Company has and continues to reimburse directors for their out-of-pocket costs incurred in attending board meetings. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2013, the persons serving as our directors who were not also executive officers received the following director’s fees:

6.C Board Practices

The Board is elected at each annual general meeting of the shareholders. Each director elected will hold office until the next annual meeting or until his successor is duly elected or appointed, unless his office is earlier vacated in accordance with the BCBCA. See Item 6.A – Directors and Senior Management - for dates directors were first elected to the Board. No director has a service contract with the Company or any of its subsidiaries providing for benefits upon termination of employment.

Audit Committee

The following directors are on the Audit Committee:

Anton J. Drescher
Gordon Neal
Rowland Perkins

At the first meeting following each annual general meeting, the directors must elect an audit committee to hold office until the next annual general meeting consisting of no fewer than three directors, of whom a majority must not be officers or employees or a “control person”, of the Company or of any affiliate or associate of the Company. A “control person” means any person that holds or is one of a combination of persons that holds a sufficient number of securities of the Company so as to affect materially the control of the Company or that holds 20% or more of the voting securities of the Company.

The primary duties and responsibilities of the Audit Committee are to:

• Serve as an independent and objective party to monitor the financial reporting process and the system of internal controls of Dorato.

• Monitor the independence and performance of the auditor of Dorato (the “Auditor”) and the internal audit function of Dorato.

• Provide an open avenue of communication among the Auditor, financial and senior management and the Board of Directors.

Before a financial statement that is to be submitted to an annual general meeting is considered by the directors, it must be submitted to the Audit Committee for review, and the report of the Audit Committee on the financial statements must be submitted to the directors thereafter.

The Company has no compensation or remuneration committee.

6.D Employees

As at January 31, 2013 the Company had no employees. The Company retains consultants to perform administrative and financial accounting/bookkeeping services. The Company did not employ temporary employees during the fiscal year.

6.E Share Ownership

The following table sets out the beneficial ownership of Company common shares by the Company’s directors and NEOs listed in Item 6.B as of May 28, 2013.

Name	Common Shares Beneficially Owned ⁽¹⁾	Percentage of Class ⁽²⁾
Anton J. Drescher⁽³⁾	1,317,444	1.50%
Gordon Neal⁽⁴⁾	367,223	0.40%
Carlos Ballon⁽⁵⁾	9,801,611	10.90%
Rowland Perkins	12,000	0.01%
All Executive Officers and Directors as a Group	11,498,278	12.80%

(1) The Company currently has no outstanding stock options.

(2) Percentages are based on 89,830,376 common shares outstanding as of May 30, 2013. Common shares subject to stock options and common share purchase warrants that are exercisable on, or within 60 days after, May 30, 2013 are deemed outstanding for computing the percentage of the person holding such stock options and common share purchase warrants but are not deemed outstanding for computing the percentage of any other person.

Incentive Stock Option Plan

At the annual general meeting held on July 30, 2008, the shareholders approved the 2008 Stock Option Plan of the Company (the “Plan”).

The purpose of the Plan is to recognize contributions made by directors, officers, consultants and employees of the Company and to provide for an incentive for their continuing relationship with the Company.

Pursuant to the policies of the TSX.V, we must seek shareholder approval for the Plan at each annual meeting as the Plan is considered a “Rolling Plan”. The Plan was ratified by shareholders at the annual meeting held July 5, 2012.

The material terms of the Plan are as follows:

1. Options may be granted to directors, officers, employees and consultants of, and to the employees of companies providing management services to, the Company and its affiliates.

2. The aggregate number of shares which may be issued pursuant to options granted under the Plan, unless otherwise approved by shareholders, may not exceed that number which is equal to 10% of the Common Shares issued and outstanding at the time of the grant.

3. The number of Common Shares subject to each option will be determined by the Board, or a duly appointed committee of the Board, provided that the aggregate number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to options granted to:

(a) any one person in any twelve month period may not exceed 5% of the issued Common Shares;

(b) insiders (directors or officers) during any 12 month period may not exceed 10% of the Company’s issued Common Shares;

(c) issued to any one insider and his or her associates within any 12 month period may not exceed 5% of the Company’s issued Common Shares;

(d) any one individual during any 12 month period may not exceed 5% of the Company’s issued Common Shares;

(e) any one consultant during any 12 month period may not exceed 2% of the Company’s issued Common Shares; and

(f) all persons employed to provide investor relations activities (as a group) may not exceed 2% of the Company’s issued Common Shares during any 12 month period; in each case calculated as at the date of grant of the option, including all other Common Shares under option to such person at that time.

4. The exercise price of an option may not be set at less than the minimum price permitted by the TSX.V (currently the closing price of the Common Shares on the TSX.V on the day prior to an option grant less the maximum discount permitted by the TSX.V).

5. Options may be exercisable for a period of up to five years from the date of grant.

6. The options are non-assignable and non-transferable. The options can only be exercised by the optionee as long as the optionee remains an eligible optionee pursuant to the Plan or within a period of not more than 90 days after ceasing to be an eligible optionee (30 days in the case of a person engaged in investor relations activities) or, if the optionee dies, within one year from the date of the optionee’s death.

7. Options granted to consultants engaged to perform investor relations activities must be subject to a vesting requirement, whereby such options will vest over a period of not less than 12 months, with a maximum of 25% vesting in any 3 month period.

8. On the occurrence of a takeover bid, issuer bid or going private transaction, the Board will have the right to accelerate the date on which any option becomes exercisable.

As of May 30, 2013 there were no stock options outstanding; however, the Company may in the future grant options to eligible participants in accordance with the Plan. Based on the outstanding Common Shares, as at May 30, 2013, options with respect to an additional 8,983,037 Common Shares are available for grant under the Plan.

There are currently no stock options held by our NEOs and directors listed in Item 6.B as of May 30, 2013.

ITEM 7. MAJOR SHAREHOLDERS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

7.A Major Shareholders

As at May 30, 2013, to the knowledge of management, the following shareholders are the only persons who beneficially own 5% or more of the issued and outstanding Common Shares:

Identity of Person or Group	No. of Shares Beneficially	Percent of Class ⁽²⁾
Carlos Ballon	9,801,611	11.0%
Franco Nevada Corporation⁽⁴⁾	4,828,167	5.0%

(3) Based on information provided by Franco Nevada Corporation.

None of the shareholders disclosed above have any voting rights with respect to their respective Common Shares that are different from any other holder of Common Shares. All of the Common Shares, both issued and unissued, are shares of the same class and rank equally as to dividends, voting powers and participation of powers. Accordingly, there are no special voting powers held by the Company’s major shareholders.

Significant influence over an enterprise is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the enterprise but is less than control over those policies. Shareholders beneficially owning a 10% interest in the voting power of the Company are presumed to have a significant influence on the company.

ITEM 10. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Not applicable.

10.B Memorandum and Articles of Association

Effective August 21, 2006, we continued our jurisdiction of incorporation into British Columbia from Wyoming. Our new form of Articles, as approved by our shareholders at our annual meeting held on August 9, 2006 (adjourned from July 17, 2006), were adopted on the date of continuation.

Under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) we are permitted to conduct any lawful business that we are not restricted from conducting by our Articles, which does not contain any restriction on the business we may conduct.

A director who, in any way, directly or indirectly, is interested in a proposed contract or transaction with us must disclose in writing the nature and extent of the director's interest at a meeting of directors and abstain from voting on approval of the matter. Our Articles permit an interested director to be counted in the quorum and the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) provides that a director of a company is not deemed to be interested in a proposed contract or transaction merely because the proposed contract or transaction relates, among other things, to an indemnity, liability insurance or the remuneration of a director in that capacity. Hence, directors can vote compensation to themselves or any of their members. The board of directors has the power to borrow, issue debt obligations and to charge our assets on the terms and conditions they consider appropriate, provided only that such power is exercised bona fide and in our best interests. There is no mandatory retirement age for directors. A director is not required to have any share qualification.

The Company has only one class of common shares, without any special rights or restrictions. The dividend entitlement of a shareholder of record is fixed at the time of declaration by the board of directors. A vested dividend entitlement does not lapse, but unclaimed dividends are subject to a statutory six year contract debts limitation. Each common share is entitled to one vote on the election of each director. There are no cumulative voting rights, in consequence of which a simple majority of votes at the annual meeting can elect all of our directors. Each common share carries with it the right to share equally with every other common share in dividends declared and in any distribution of our surplus assets after payment to creditors on any winding up, liquidation or dissolution. There are no sinking fund provisions. All common shares must be fully paid prior to issue and are thereafter subject to no further capital calls by us. There exists no discriminatory provision affecting any existing or prospective holder of common shares as a result of such shareholder owning a substantial number of shares.

Under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), the rights of shareholders may be changed only by the shareholders passing a special resolution approved by 2/3 of the votes cast at a special meeting of shareholders, the notice of which is accompanied by an information circular describing the proposed action and its effect on the shareholders.

The Board of Directors must call an annual general meeting once in each calendar year and not later than 15 months after the last such meeting. The Board may call an extraordinary general meeting at any time. Notice of such meetings must be accompanied by an information circular describing the proposed business to be dealt with and making disclosures as prescribed by statute. A shareholder or shareholders having in the aggregate 5% of our issued shares may requisition a meeting and the Board is required to hold such meeting within four months of such requisition. Admission to such meetings is open to registered shareholders and their duly appointed proxies. Others may be admitted subject to the pleasure of the meeting.

The Company’s Notice of Articles and Articles contain no limitations on the rights of non-resident or foreign shareholders to hold or exercise rights on our shares. Except for the Investment Canada Act, which requires certain transactions to be approved by the Minister of Industry and/or the Minister of Canadian Heritage as being of net benefit to Canada before they may proceed, there is no limitation at law upon the right of a non-resident to hold shares in a Canadian company.

There are no provisions in our Notice of Articles and Articles that would have an effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control and that would operate only with respect to a merger, acquisition or corporate restructuring involving us or any of our subsidiaries.

There is no provision in our Notice of Articles and Articles setting a threshold or requiring or governing disclosure of shareholder ownership above any level. Securities Acts, regulations and the policies and rules thereunder in the Provinces of Alberta and British Columbia and in the United States, where we are a reporting company, require any person holding or having beneficial ownership or control or direction of more than 10% of our issued shares to file insider and other reports disclosing such share holdings.

10.E Taxation

Material Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations

The following is a summary of the material anticipated tax consequences of an investment by an investor not resident or deemed resident in Canada, under Canadian tax laws and any applicable bilateral income treaty. This summary does not apply to an investor that carries on, or is deemed to carry on, an insurance business in Canada or elsewhere or an “authorized foreign bank” as defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada).

The discussion of Canadian federal income considerations is not exhaustive of all possible Canadian federal income tax considerations and does not take into account provincial, territorial or foreign tax considerations. It is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any particular holder of common shares. Prospective purchasers of our common shares, including non-resident insurers carrying on business in Canada, are advised to consult with their advisors about the income tax consequences to them of an acquisition of common shares. The discussion of Canadian federal income considerations assumes that holders of common shares hold their common shares as capital property, deal at arm's length and are not affiliated with us, are not "financial institutions" or "specified financial institutions" as defined in the Income Tax Act, an interest in which would be a "tax shelter investment" as defined in the Income Tax Act, has not made an election under the Income Tax Act to determine their Canadian tax results in a foreign currency and do not use or hold their common shares in, or in the course of, carrying on a business in Canada and has not acquired them in one or more transactions considered to be an adventure in the nature of trade. The discussion of Canadian federal income considerations is based on the current provisions of the Income Tax Act and the regulations under the Income Tax Act, all proposed amendments to the Income Tax Act and the Act regulations announced by the Minister of Finance (Canada) as at the date hereof, the current administrative policies and assessing practices of the Canada Revenue Agency, and the current provisions of the published Canada-United States Tax Convention (1980). It has been assumed that any proposed amendments to the Income Tax Act and the regulations thereto will be enacted in substantially their present form. This discussion does not take into account or anticipate any change in law, administrative policy or assessing practice, whether by legislature, regulatory, administrative, governmental or judicial decision or action, nor does it take into account the tax laws of any province or territory in Canada or of any jurisdiction outside of Canada, which may differ significantly from the Canadian Federal income tax considerations discussed therein.

The anticipated tax consequences may change, and any change may be retroactively effective. If so, this summary may be affected. Further, any variation or difference from the facts or representations recited here, for any reason, might affect the following discussion, perhaps in an adverse manner, and make this summary inapplicable.

Dividends on our Common Shares

Under the Income Tax Act, amounts paid or credited on account or in lieu of payment of, or in satisfaction of, dividends, including stock dividends, to holders of our common shares that are resident in a country other than Canada will be subject to Canadian withholding tax of 25% of the amount of the dividend. The rate of withholding tax may be reduced in accordance with the terms of a bilateral income tax treaty between Canada and the country in which a holder of common shares is resident.

Under the Canada-United States Tax Convention (1980), when the recipient of a dividend on the common shares is the beneficial owner of the dividend, does not have a "permanent establishment" in Canada, and is considered to be a resident of the United States and a "qualifying person" under the Canada-United States Tax Convention (1980), the rate of Canadian withholding tax on the dividends will generally be reduced to 15% of the gross amount of the dividends or, if the recipient is a corporation which owns at least 10% of our voting stock, to 5% of the gross amount of the dividends. Dividends paid or credited to a holder that is a United States tax-exempt organization, as described in Article XXI of the Canada-United States Tax Convention (1980), will not have to pay the Canadian withholding tax.

Disposition of Common Shares

A holder of common shares will not be required to pay tax for a capital gain on the disposition of a common share unless the common share is "taxable Canadian property" of the holder as defined by the Income Tax Act, and no relief is afforded under the Canada-United States Tax Convention (1980). A common share will generally be taxable Canadian property to a holder if the common share is listed on a designated stock exchange within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (which includes the TSX.V) and at any particular time during the 60-month period that ends at that time (i) the holder, or persons with whom the holder did not deal at arm's length (within the meaning of the Income Tax Act), or any combination of these parties, owned 25% or more of the issued shares of any class of our shares, and (ii) more than 50% of the fair market value of the shares was derived directly or indirectly from one or any combination of real or immovable property situated in Canada, “Canadian resource properties”, “timber resource properties” (each as defined in the Income Tax Act and options in respect of or interests in, or for civil law rights in any such properties. Where a common share is taxable Canadian property to a U.S. resident holder who is a "qualifying person" for purposes of the Canada-United States Tax Convention (1980) it will generally exempt such holder from tax on the disposition of the common share provided its value is not, at the time of the disposition, derived principally from real property situated in Canada. This relief under the Canada-United States Tax Convention (1980) may not be available to a U.S. resident holder who had a "permanent establishment" available in Canada during the 12 months immediately preceding the disposition of the common share where the common share constitutes business property and where any gain on the disposition of the share is attributable to such permanent establishment.

Under the Income Tax Act, the disposition of a common share by a holder may occur in a number of circumstances including on a sale or gift of the share or upon the death of the holder. There are no Canadian federal estate or gift taxes on the purchase or ownership of the common shares.

Repurchase of Common Shares

If we repurchase our common shares from a holder of our common shares (other than a purchase of common shares on the open market in a manner in which shares would be purchased by any member of the public in the open market), the amount paid by us that exceeds the "paid-up capital" of the shares purchased will be deemed by the Income Tax Act to be a dividend paid by us to the holder of our common shares. The paid-up capital of our common shares may be less than the holder's cost of its common shares. The tax treatment of any dividend received by a holder of our common shares has been described above under "Dividends on our Common Shares."

A holder of our common shares will also be considered to have disposed of its common shares purchased by us for proceeds of disposition equal to the amount received or receivable by the holder on the purchase, less the amount of any dividend as described above. As a result, the holder of our common shares will generally realize a capital gain (or capital loss) equal to the amount by which the proceeds of disposition, net of any costs of disposition and adjusted for any deemed dividends, exceed (or are exceeded by) the adjusted cost base of these shares. The tax treatment of any capital gain or capital loss has been described above under "Disposition of Common Shares."

CERTAIN UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following is a general summary of certain U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to a U.S. Holder (as defined below) arising from and relating to the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Common Shares.

This summary is for general information purposes only and does not purport to be a complete analysis or listing of all potential U.S. federal income tax considerations that may apply to a U.S. Holder arising from and relating to the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Common Shares. In addition, this summary does not take into account the individual facts and circumstances of any particular U.S. Holder that may affect the U.S. federal income tax consequences to such U.S. Holder, including specific tax consequences to a U.S. Holder under an applicable tax treaty. Accordingly, this summary is not intended to be, and should not be construed as, legal or U.S. federal income tax advice with respect to any U.S. Holder. Each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal, U.S. federal alternative minimum, U.S. federal estate and gift, U.S. state and local, and foreign tax consequences relating to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of Common Shares.

No legal opinion from U.S. legal counsel or ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) has been requested, or will be obtained, regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Common Shares. This summary is not binding on the IRS, and the IRS is not precluded from taking a position that is different from, and contrary to, the positions taken in this summary. In addition, because the authorities on which this summary is based are subject to various interpretations, the IRS and the U.S. courts could disagree with one or more of the positions taken in this summary.

Scope of this Summary

Authorities

This summary is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), Treasury Regulations (whether final, temporary, or proposed), published rulings of the IRS, published administrative positions of the IRS, the Convention Between Canada and the United States of America with Respect to Taxes on Income and on Capital, signed September 26, 1980, as amended (the “Canada-U.S. Tax Convention”), and U.S. court decisions that are applicable and, in each case, as in effect and available, as of the date of this document. Any of the authorities on which this summary is based could be changed in a material and adverse manner at any time, and any such change could be applied on a retroactive or prospective basis which could affect the U.S. federal income tax considerations described in this summary. This summary does not discuss the potential effects, whether adverse or beneficial, of any proposed legislation that, if enacted, could be applied on a retroactive or prospective basis.

U.S. Holders

For purposes of this summary, the term "U.S. Holder" means a beneficial owner of Common Shares that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

• an individual who is a citizen or resident of the U.S.;

• a corporation (or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) organized under the laws of the U.S., any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

• an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or

• a trust that (a) is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the U.S. and the control of one or more U.S. persons for all substantial decisions or (b) has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

Non-U.S. Holders

For purposes of this summary, a “non-U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of Common Shares that is not a U.S. Holder. This summary does not address the U.S. federal income tax consequences to non-U.S. Holders arising from and relating to the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Common Shares. Accordingly, a non-U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal, U.S. federal alternative minimum, U.S. federal estate and gift, U.S. state and local, and foreign tax consequences (including the potential application of and operation of any income tax treaties) relating to the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Common Shares.

U.S. Holders Subject to Special U.S. Federal Income Tax Rules Not Addressed

This summary does not address the U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to U.S. Holders that are subject to special provisions under the Code, including the following U.S. Holders: (a) U.S. Holders that are tax-exempt organizations, qualified retirement plans, individual retirement accounts, or other tax-deferred accounts; (b) U.S. Holders that are financial institutions, underwriters, insurance companies, real estate investment trusts, or regulated investment companies; (c) U.S. Holders that are broker-dealers, dealers, or traders in securities or currencies that elect to apply a mark-to-market accounting method; (d) U.S. Holders that have a “functional currency” other than the U.S. dollar; (e) U.S. Holders that own Common Shares as part of a straddle, hedging transaction, conversion transaction, constructive sale, or other arrangement involving more than one position; (f) U.S. Holders that acquired Common Shares in connection with the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation for services; (g) U.S. Holders that hold Common Shares other than as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment purposes); (h) partnerships and other pass-through entities (and investors in such partnerships and entities); or (i) U.S. Holders that own or have owned (directly, indirectly, or by attribution) 10% or more of the total combined voting power of the outstanding shares of the Company. This summary also does not address the U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to U.S. Holders who are: (a) U.S. expatriates or former long-term residents of the U.S.; (b) persons that have been, are, or will be a resident or deemed to be a resident in Canada for purposes of the Income Tax Act; (c) persons that use or hold, will use or hold, or that are or will be deemed to use or hold Common Shares in connection with carrying on a business in Canada; (d) persons whose Common Shares constitute “taxable Canadian property” under the Income Tax Act; or (e) persons that have a permanent establishment in Canada for the purposes of the Canada-U.S. Tax Convention. U.S. Holders that are subject to special provisions under the Code, including U.S. Holders described immediately above, should consult their own tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal, U.S. federal alternative minimum, U.S. federal estate and gift, U.S. state and local, and foreign tax consequences relating to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of Common Shares.

If an entity that is classified as a partnership (or “pass-through” entity) for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds Common Shares, the U.S. federal income tax consequences to such partnership and the partners of such partnership generally will depend on the activities of the partnership and the status of such partners (or owners). This summary does not address the tax consequences to any such partner. Partners of entities that are classified as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes should consult their own tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences arising from and relating to the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Common Shares.

Tax Consequences Not Addressed

This summary does not address the, U.S. federal alternative minimum, U.S. federal estate and gift, U.S. state and local, and foreign tax consequences to U.S. Holders of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Common Shares. Each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal alternative minimum, U.S. federal estate and gift, U.S. state and local, and foreign tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Common Shares.

Tax Status of the Company

On August 21, 2006, the Company continued from its incorporation in the State of Wyoming to being a British Columbia, Canada corporation. Section 7874 of the Code was enacted in 2004 to address transactions whereby U.S. corporations migrate to a foreign jurisdiction to avoid U.S. federal income tax. Section 7874(b) provides generally that a corporation that migrates from the U.S. will nonetheless be considered a U.S. corporation and remain subject to U.S. tax on its worldwide income unless the migrating entity has “substantial business activities” in the foreign country to which it is migrating when compared to its total business activities. The Company has taken the position that at the time of its continuance to Canada, it had “substantial business activities” in Canada when compared to its total business activities, and that Section 7874(b) of the Code does not apply to cause the Company to be treated as a U.S. corporation and be subject to U.S. income tax on its worldwide income. The position taken by the Company may be challenged by U.S. tax authorities with the result that the Company may be treated as a U.S. corporation and remain subject to U.S. federal income tax on its worldwide income. In addition to U.S. income taxes, were Section 7874(b) of the Code to apply to the Company, the Company could be subject to penalties for failure to file U.S. tax returns, late fees, and interest on past due taxes. The remainder of this summary assumes that Section 7874(b) of the Code does not apply to the Company.

Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules

If the Company were to constitute a “passive foreign investment company” under the meaning of Section 1297 of the Code (a “PFIC,” as defined below) for any year during a U.S. Holder’s holding period, then certain different and potentially adverse rules will affect the U.S. federal income tax consequences to a U.S. Holder resulting from the acquisition, ownership and disposition of Common Shares. In addition, in any year in which the Company constitutes a PFIC, such holder would be required to file an annual report with the IRS containing such information as Treasury Regulations and/or other IRS guidelines may require U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the requirements of filing such information returns under these rules, including the requirement to file a IRS Form 8621.

PFIC Status of the Company

The Company generally will be a PFIC if, for a tax year, (a) 75% or more of the gross income of the Company for such tax year is passive income (the “income test”) or (b) 50% or more of the value of the Company’s assets either produce passive income or are held for the production of passive income, based on the quarterly average of the fair market value of such assets (the “asset test”). “Gross income” generally includes all sales revenues less the cost of goods sold, plus income from investments and from incidental or outside operations or sources, and “passive income” generally includes, for example, dividends, interest, certain rents and royalties, certain gains from the sale of stock and securities, and certain gains from commodities transactions.

Active business gains arising from the sale of commodities generally are excluded from passive income if substantially all (85% or more) of a foreign corporation’s commodities are stock in trade of such foreign corporation or other property of a kind which would properly be included in inventory of such foreign corporation, or property held by such foreign corporation primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business, if such gains constitute more than 85% of the corporation’s total receipts and certain other requirements are satisfied.

For purposes of the PFIC income test and asset test described above, if the Company owns, directly or indirectly, 25% or more of the total value of the outstanding shares of another corporation, the Company will be treated as if it (a) held a proportionate share of the assets of such other corporation and (b) received directly a proportionate share of the income of such other corporation. In addition, for purposes of the PFIC income test and asset test described above, “passive income” does not include any interest, dividends, rents, or royalties that are received or accrued by the Company from a “related person” (as defined in Section 954(d)(3) of the Code), to the extent such items are properly allocable to the income of such related person that is not passive income.

In addition, under certain attribution rules, if the Company is a PFIC, U.S. Holders will be deemed to own their proportionate share of the stock of any subsidiary of the Company which is also a PFIC (a ‘‘Subsidiary PFIC’’), and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on their proportionate share of (a) a distribution on the stock of a Subsidiary PFIC and (b) a disposition or deemed disposition of the stock of a Subsidiary PFIC, both as if such U.S. Holders directly held the stock of such Subsidiary PFIC.

The Company believes that it constituted a PFIC during the tax year ended January 31, 2013, and may be a PFIC in the current and future tax years. The determination of whether any corporation was, or will be, a PFIC for a tax year depends, in part, on the application of complex U.S. federal income tax rules, which are subject to differing interpretations. In addition, whether any corporation will be a PFIC for any tax year depends on the assets and income of such corporation over the course of each such tax year and, as a result, cannot be predicted with certainty as of the date of this document. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not challenge any determination made by the Company (or a Subsidiary PFIC) concerning its PFIC status or that the Company (and each Subsidiary PFIC) was not, or will not be, a PFIC for any tax year. Each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the PFIC status of the Company and each Subsidiary PFIC.

Default PFIC Rules Under Section 1291 of the Code

If the Company is a PFIC, the U.S. federal income tax consequences to a U.S. Holder of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Common Shares will depend on whether such U.S. Holder makes an election to treat the Company and each Subsidiary PFIC as a “qualified electing fund” or “QEF” under Section 1295 of the Code (a “QEF Election”) or a mark-to-market election under Section 1296 of the Code (a “Mark-to-Market Election”). A U.S. Holder that does not make either a QEF Election or a Mark-to-Market Election will be referred to in this summary as a “Non-Electing U.S. Holder.”

A Non-Electing U.S. Holder will be subject to the rules of Section 1291 of the Code with respect to (a) any gain recognized on the sale or other taxable disposition of Common Shares and (b) any excess distribution received on the Common Shares. A distribution generally will be an “excess distribution” to the extent that such distribution (together with all other distributions received in the current tax year) exceeds 125% of the average distributions received during the three preceding tax years (or during a U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Common Shares, if shorter).

Under Section 1291 of the Code, any gain recognized on the sale or other taxable disposition of Common Shares, and any “excess distribution” received on Common Shares, must be ratably allocated to each day in a Non-Electing U.S. Holder’s holding period for the respective Common Shares. The amount of any such gain or excess distribution allocated to the tax year of disposition or distribution of the excess distribution and to years before the entity became a PFIC, if any, would be taxed as ordinary income. The amounts allocated to any other tax year would be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the highest tax applicable to ordinary income in each such year, and an interest charge would be imposed on the tax liability for each such year, calculated as if such tax liability had been due in each such year. A Non-Electing U.S. Holder that is not a corporation must treat any such interest paid as “personal interest,” which is not deductible.

If the Company is a PFIC for any tax year during which a Non-Electing U.S. Holder holds Common Shares, the Company will continue to be treated as a PFIC with respect to such Non-Electing U.S. Holder, regardless of whether the Company ceases to be a PFIC in one or more subsequent tax years. A Non-Electing U.S. Holder may terminate this deemed PFIC status by electing to recognize gain (which will be taxed under the rules of Section 1291 of the Code discussed above) as if such Common Shares were sold on the last day of the last tax year for which the Company was a PFIC.

QEF Election

A U.S. Holder that makes a QEF Election for the first tax year in which its holding period of its Common Shares begins, generally, will not be subject to the rules of Section 1291 of the Code discussed above with respect to its Common Shares. However, a U.S. Holder that makes a QEF Election will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on such U.S. Holder’s pro rata share of (a) the net capital gain of the Company, which will be taxed as long-term capital gain to such U.S. Holder, and (b) the ordinary earnings of the Company, which will be taxed as ordinary income to such U.S. Holder. Generally, “net capital gain” is the excess of (a) net long-term capital gain over (b) net short-term capital loss, and “ordinary earnings” are the excess of (a) “earnings and profits” over (b) net capital gain. A U.S.

Holder that makes a QEF Election will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on such amounts for each tax year in which the Company is a PFIC, regardless of whether such amounts are actually distributed to such U.S. Holder by the Company. However, for any tax year in which the Company is a PFIC and has no net income or gain, U.S. Holders that have made a QEF Election would not have any income inclusions as a result of the QEF Election. If a U.S. Holder that made a QEF Election has an income inclusion, such a U.S. Holder may, subject to certain limitations, elect to defer payment of current U.S. federal income tax on such amounts, subject to an interest charge. If such U.S. Holder is not a corporation, any such interest paid will be treated as “personal interest,” which is not deductible.

A U.S. Holder that makes a QEF Election generally (a) may receive a tax-free distribution from the Company to the extent that such distribution represents “earnings and profits” of the Company that were previously included in income by the U.S. Holder because of such QEF Election and (b) will adjust such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Common Shares to reflect the amount included in income or allowed as a tax-free distribution because of such QEF Election. In addition, a U.S. Holder that makes a QEF Election generally will recognize capital gain or loss on the sale or other taxable disposition of Common Shares.

The procedure for making a QEF Election, and the U.S. federal income tax consequences of making a QEF Election, will depend on whether such QEF Election is timely. A QEF Election will be treated as “timely” if such QEF Election is made for the first year in the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Common Shares in which the Company was a PFIC. A U.S. Holder may make a timely QEF Election by filing the appropriate QEF Election documents at the time such U.S. Holder files a U.S. federal income tax return for such year.

A QEF Election will apply to the tax year for which such QEF Election is made and to all subsequent tax years, unless such QEF Election is invalidated or terminated or the IRS consents to revocation of such QEF Election. If a U.S. Holder makes a QEF Election and, in a subsequent tax year, the Company ceases to be a PFIC, the QEF Election will remain in effect (although it will not be applicable) during those tax years in which the Company is not a PFIC. Accordingly, if the Company becomes a PFIC in another subsequent tax year, the QEF Election will be effective and the U.S. Holder will be subject to the QEF rules described above during any subsequent tax year in which the Company qualifies as a PFIC.

U.S. Holders should be aware that there can be no assurances that the Company will satisfy the record keeping requirements that apply to a QEF, or that the Company will supply U.S. Holders with information that such U.S. Holders require to report under the QEF rules, in the event that the Company is a PFIC and a U.S. Holder wishes to make a QEF Election. Thus, U.S. Holders may not be able to make a QEF Election with respect to their Common Shares. Each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the availability of, and procedure for making, a QEF Election.

Mark-to-Market Election

A U.S. Holder may make a Mark-to-Market Election only if the Common Shares are marketable stock. The Common Shares generally will be “marketable stock” if the Common Shares are regularly traded on (a) a national securities exchange that is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, (b) the national market system established pursuant to section 11A of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, or (c) a foreign securities exchange that is regulated or supervised by a governmental authority of the country in which the market is located, provided that (i) such foreign exchange has trading volume, listing, financial disclosure, and other requirements and the laws of the country in which such foreign exchange is located, together with the rules of such foreign exchange, ensure that such requirements are actually enforced and (ii) the rules of such foreign exchange ensure active trading of listed stocks. If such stock is traded on such a qualified exchange or other market, such stock generally will be “regularly traded” for any calendar year during which such stock is traded, other than in de minimis quantities, on at least 15 days during each calendar quarter.

A U.S. Holder that makes a Mark-to-Market Election with respect to its Common Shares generally will not be subject to the rules of Section 1291 of the Code discussed above with respect to such Common Shares. However, if a U.S. Holder does not make a Mark-to-Market Election beginning in the first tax year of such U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Common Shares or such U.S. Holder has not made a timely QEF Election, the rules of Section 1291 of the Code discussed above will apply to certain dispositions of, and distributions on, the Common Shares.

A U.S. Holder that makes a Mark-to-Market Election will include in ordinary income, for each tax year in which the Company is a PFIC, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the fair market value of the Common Shares, as of the close of such tax year over (b) such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in such Common Shares. A U.S. Holder that makes a Mark-to-Market Election will be allowed a deduction in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (a) such U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Common Shares, over (b) the fair market value of such Common Shares (but only to the extent of the net amount of previously included income as a result of the Mark-to-Market Election for prior tax years).

A U.S. Holder that makes a Mark-to-Market Election generally also will adjust such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Common Shares to reflect the amount included in gross income or allowed as a deduction because of such Mark-to-Market Election. In addition, upon a sale or other taxable disposition of Common Shares, a U.S. Holder that makes a Mark-to-Market Election will recognize ordinary income or ordinary loss (not to exceed the excess, if any, of (a) the amount included in ordinary income because of such Mark-to-Market Election for prior tax years over (b) the amount allowed as a deduction because of such Mark-to-Market Election for prior tax years).

A Mark-to-Market Election applies to the tax year in which such Mark-to-Market Election is made and to each subsequent tax year, unless the Common Shares cease to be “marketable stock” or the IRS consents to revocation of such election. Each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the availability of, and procedure for making, a Mark-to-Market Election.

Although a U.S. Holder may be eligible to make a Mark-to-Market Election with respect to the Common Shares, no such election may be made with respect to the stock of any Subsidiary PFIC that a U.S. Holder is treated as owning, because such stock is not marketable. Hence, the Mark-to-Market Election will not be effective to eliminate the interest charge described above with respect to deemed dispositions of Subsidiary PFIC stock or distributions from a Subsidiary PFIC.

Other PFIC Rules

Under Section 1291(f) of the Code, the IRS has issued proposed Treasury Regulations that, subject to certain exceptions, would cause a U.S. Holder that had not made a timely QEF Election to recognize gain (but not loss) upon certain transfers of Common Shares that would otherwise be tax-deferred (e.g., gifts and exchanges pursuant to corporate reorganizations). However, the specific U.S. federal income tax consequences to a U.S. Holder may vary based on the manner in which Common Shares are transferred.

Certain additional adverse rules will apply with respect to a U.S. Holder if the Company is a PFIC, regardless of whether such U.S. Holder makes a QEF Election. For example under Section 1298(b)(6) of the Code, a U.S. Holder that uses Common Shares as security for a loan will, except as may be provided in Treasury Regulations, be treated as having made a taxable disposition of such Common Shares.

Special rules also apply to the amount of foreign tax credit that a U.S. Holder may claim on a distribution from a PFIC. Subject to such special rules, foreign taxes paid with respect to any distribution in respect of stock in a PFIC are generally eligible for the foreign tax credit. The rules relating to distributions by a PFIC and their eligibility for the foreign tax credit are complicated, and a U.S. Holder should consult with their own tax advisor regarding the availability of the foreign tax credit with respect to distributions by a PFIC.

The PFIC rules are complex, and each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the PFIC rules and how the PFIC rules may affect the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Common Shares.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Acquisition, Ownership, and Disposition of Common Shares

The following discussion is subject to the rules described above under the heading “Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules.”

Distributions on Common Shares

Subject to the PFIC rules discussed above, a U.S. Holder that receives a distribution, including a constructive distribution, with respect to a Common Share will be required to include the amount of such distribution in gross income as a dividend (without reduction for any Canadian income tax withheld from such distribution) to the extent of the current or accumulated “earnings and profits” of the Company, as computed for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A dividend generally will be taxed to a U.S. Holder at ordinary income tax rates. To the extent that a distribution exceeds the current and accumulated “earnings and profits” of the Company, such distribution will be treated first as a tax-free return of capital to the extent of a U.S. Holder's tax basis in the Common Shares and thereafter as gain from the sale or exchange of such Common Shares. (See “Sale or Other Taxable Disposition of Common Shares” below). However, the Company may not maintain the calculations of earnings and profits in accordance with U.S. federal income tax principles, and each U.S. Holder should therefore assume that any distribution by the Company with respect to the Common Shares will constitute ordinary dividend income. Dividends received on Common Shares generally will not be eligible for the “dividends received deduction”. In addition, the Company does not anticipate that its distributions will be eligible for the preferential tax rates applicable to long-term capital gains. The dividend rules are complex, and each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the application of such rules.

Sale or Other Taxable Disposition of Common Shares

Subject to the PFIC rules discussed above, upon the sale or other taxable disposition of Common Shares, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount of cash plus the fair market value of any property received and such U.S. Holder's tax basis in such Common Shares sold or otherwise disposed of. Subject to the PFIC rules discussed above, gain or loss recognized on such sale or other disposition generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if, at the time of the sale or other disposition, the Common Shares have been held for more than one year.

Preferential tax rates apply to long-term capital gain of a U.S. Holder that is an individual, estate, or trust. There are currently no preferential tax rates for long-term capital gain of a U.S. Holder that is a corporation. Deductions for capital losses are subject to significant limitations under the Code.

Additional Considerations

Additional Tax on Passive Income

Certain U.S. Holders who are individuals, estates or trusts will be required to pay up to an additional 3.8% tax on, among other things, dividends and capital gains for tax years beginning after December 31, 2012. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the effect, if any, of this tax on their ownership and disposition of Common Shares.

Receipt of Foreign Currency

The amount of any distribution paid to a U.S. Holder in foreign currency, or on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of Common Shares, generally will be equal to the U.S. dollar value of such foreign currency based on the exchange rate applicable on the date of receipt (regardless of whether such foreign currency is converted into U.S. dollars at that time). If the foreign currency received is not converted into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt, a U.S. Holder will have a basis in the foreign currency equal to its U.S. dollar value on the date of receipt. Any U.S. Holder who receives payment in foreign currency and engages in a subsequent conversion or other disposition of the foreign currency may have a foreign currency exchange gain or loss that would be treated as ordinary income or loss, and generally will be U.S. source income or loss for foreign tax credit purposes. Each U.S. Holder should consult its own U.S. tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of receiving, owning, and disposing of foreign currency.

Foreign Tax Credit

Subject to the PFIC rules discussed above, a U.S. Holder that pays (whether directly or through withholding) Canadian income tax with respect to dividends paid on the Common Shares generally will be entitled, at the election of such U.S. Holder, to receive either a deduction or a credit for such Canadian income tax paid. Generally, a credit will reduce a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability on a dollar-for-dollar basis, whereas a deduction will reduce a U.S. Holder’s income subject to U.S. federal income tax. This election is made on a year-by-year basis and applies to all foreign taxes paid (whether directly or through withholding) by a U.S. Holder during a year.

Complex limitations apply to the foreign tax credit, including the general limitation that the credit cannot exceed the proportionate share of a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability that such U.S. Holder’s “foreign source” taxable income bears to such U.S. Holder’s worldwide taxable income. In applying this limitation, a U.S. Holder’s various items of income and deduction must be classified, under complex rules, as either “foreign source” or “U.S. source.” Generally, dividends paid by a foreign corporation should be treated as foreign source for this purpose, and gains recognized on the sale of stock of a foreign corporation by a U.S. Holder should be treated as U.S. source for this purpose, except as otherwise provided in an applicable income tax treaty, and if an election is properly made under the Code. However, the amount of a distribution with respect to the Common Shares that is treated as a “dividend” may be lower for U.S. federal income tax purposes than it is for Canadian federal income tax purposes, resulting in a reduced foreign tax credit allowance to a U.S. Holder. In addition, this limitation is calculated separately with respect to specific categories of income. The foreign tax credit rules are complex, and each U.S. Holder should consult its own U.S. tax advisor regarding the foreign tax credit rules.

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

Under U.S. federal income tax law and Treasury Regulations, certain categories of U.S. Holders must file information returns with respect to their investment in, or involvement in, a foreign corporation. For example, new U.S. return disclosure obligations (and related penalties) are imposed on U.S. Holders that hold certain specified foreign financial assets in excess of US$50,000. The definition of specified foreign financial assets includes not only financial accounts maintained in foreign financial institutions, but also, unless held in accounts maintained by a financial institution, any stock or security issued by a non-U.S. person, any financial instrument or contract held for investment that has an issuer or counterparty other than a U.S. person and any interest in a foreign entity. U.S. Holders may be subject to these reporting requirements unless their Common Shares are held in an account at a domestic financial institution. Penalties for failure to file certain of these information returns are substantial. U.S. Holders should consult with their own tax advisors regarding the requirements of filing information returns, including the requirement to file an IRS Form 8938.

Payments made within the U.S. or by a U.S. payor or U.S. middleman, of dividends on, and proceeds arising from the sale or other taxable disposition of, Common Shares generally may be subject to information reporting and backup withholding tax, at the rate of 28% (and increasing to 31% for payments made after December 31, 2012), if a U.S. Holder (a) fails to furnish such U.S. Holder’s correct U.S. taxpayer identification number (generally on Form W-9), (b) furnishes an incorrect U.S. taxpayer identification number, (c) is notified by the IRS that such U.S. Holder has previously failed to properly report items subject to backup withholding tax, or (d) fails to certify, under penalty of perjury, that such U.S. Holder has furnished its correct U.S. taxpayer identification number and that the IRS has not notified such U.S. Holder that it is subject to backup withholding tax. However, certain exempt persons, such as corporations, generally are excluded from these information reporting and backup withholding rules. Any amounts withheld under the U.S. backup withholding tax rules will be allowed as a credit against a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, or will be refunded, if such U.S. Holder furnishes required information to the IRS in a timely manner. Each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the information reporting and backup withholding rules.

10.I Subsidiary Information

Not applicable.

ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds available to the Company, in order to support future business opportunities. The Company defines its capital as shareholders’ equity. The Board does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company’s management to sustain future development of the business.

The Company currently has no source of revenues; as such the Company is dependent upon external financings or the sale of assets (or an interest therein) to fund activities. In order to carry future projects and pay for administrative costs, the Company will spend its existing working capital and raise additional funds as needed. Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable. There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the year ended January 31, 2013. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

The Company classifies its cash and cash equivalents as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss; accounts receivable as loans and receivables; accounts payable and accrued liabilities and due to related parties as other financial liabilities.

The carrying values of accounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to the expected maturity of these consolidated financial instruments. The fair values of amounts due to related parties have not been disclosed as their fair values cannot be reliably measured since the parties are not at arm’s length.

The Company’s risk exposure and the impact on the Company’s financial instruments are summarized below:

(a) Credit risk

In respect to accounts receivable, the Company is not exposed to significant credit risk as the majority are due from governmental agencies.

Concentration of credit risk exists with respect to the Company’s cash as all amounts are held at a single major Canadian financial institution and a major Peruvian financial institution. The Company’s concentration of credit risk and maximum exposure thereto in Canada follows. Similar risk in Peru is considered not significant.

Cash and equivalents		January 31, 2013		January 31, 2012

Held at a major Canadian financial institution	$	37,703	$	59,865
Peruvian financial institution		378		286
	$	38,081	$	60,151

The credit risk associated with cash and cash equivalents is minimized substantially by ensuring that these financial assets are placed with major Canadian and Peruvian financial institutions with strong investment-grade ratings by a primary ratings agency.

(b) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in satisfying financial obligations as they fall due. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to provide reasonable assurance that it will have sufficient funds to meet liabilities when due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows required by operations and anticipated investing and financing activities. The Company normally maintains sufficient cash to meet the Company’s business requirements and at January 31, 2013, the cash balance of $38,081 is insufficient to meet the needs for the coming year. Therefore, the Company will be required to raise additional capital in order to fund its operations in 2013.

Liabilities as at January 31, 2013 are as follows:

		0 to 3	3 to 6	6 to 12
Due in		months	months	months		Total

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities	$	531,989			$	531,989

(c) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and other price risk.

i. Interest rate risk

The Company’s cash consists of cash and cash equivalents held in bank accounts that earn interest at variable interest rates. Future cash flows from interest income on cash will be affected by interest rate fluctuations. Due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments, fluctuations in market rates do not have a significant impact on estimated fair values.

The Company manages interest rate risk by maintaining an investment policy that focuses primarily on preservation of capital and liquidity. The interest income earned on cash is minimal; therefore, the Company is not subject to interest rate risk.

ii. Foreign currency risk

The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk to the extent expenditures incurred or funds received and balances maintained by the Company are denominated in currencies other than the Canadian dollar (primarily United States dollars (“USD”) and Peruvian soles (“soles”)). The Company has net monetary assets of $14,600 denominated in USD and net monetary liabilities of $274,000 denominated in soles. For the year ended January 31, 2013, the Company’s sensitivity analysis suggests that a change in the absolute rate of exchange in USD by 5% will increase or decrease net loss by approximately $800 and a change in the absolute rate of exchange in soles by 7% will increase or decrease net loss by approximately $19,000. There will be no impact on other comprehensive loss. The Company has not entered into any foreign currency contracts to mitigate this risk.

iii. Other price risk

Other price risk is the risk that the fair or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices, other than those arising from interest rate risk or foreign currency risk. The Company is not exposed to any other price risk.

The Company’s operations are not yet exposed to risks associated with commodity prices, interest rates and credit. Commodity price risk is defined as the potential loss that the Company may incur as a result of changes in the fair value of gold, silver, iron, copper or other metals that may be produced by the Company. Industry wide risks can, however, affect the Company’s general ability to finance exploration, and development of exploitable resources; however, such effects are not predictable or quantifiable.

ITEM 15. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were adequately designed and are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in applicable rules and forms.

In addition, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have determined that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that are filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management’s annual report on internal control over financial reporting

The Company's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Company’s management has employed a framework consistent with Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(c), to evaluate the Company’s internal control over financial reporting described below. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management conducted an evaluation of the design and operation of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2013 based on the criteria set forth in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. This evaluation included review of the documentation of controls, evaluation of the design effectiveness of controls, testing of the operating effectiveness of controls and a conclusion on this evaluation. Based on this evaluation, management has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of January 31, 2013.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial reporting

During the period covered by this Annual Report, no changes occurred in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

The Board has determined that Anton Drescher is an audit committee financial expert (as defined in Item 16A of Form 20-F). Mr. Drescher is not “independent” under the independence standards of NYSE MKT applicable to audit committee members because he is the former President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF DORATO RESOURCES INC.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Dorato Resources Inc., which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at January 31, 2013 and 2012, and the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended January 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Management's Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audits is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Dorato Resources Inc. as at January 31, 2013 and 2012, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years ended January 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Emphasis of Matter
Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to note 1 in the consolidated financial statements, which describes matters and conditions that indicate the existence of material uncertainties that casts substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Years Ended January 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011

(Expressed in Canadian dollars)

1.	NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

	Dorato Resources Inc. (the "Company") is incorporated under the laws of British Columbia, Canada. The Company is engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties. The Company is an exploration stage company.

	These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to continue in operation for the foreseeable future, and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

	Several conditions cast substantial doubt on the validity of this assumption. For the year ended January 31, 2013, the Company incurred an operating loss of $7,130,314 (2012 - $17,091,671; 2011 - $13,728,240), and as at January 31, 2013 has a working capital deficiency of $1,026,906 (2012 – $961,191), an accumulated deficit of $62,789,869 (2012 - $55,659,555), limited resources, no source of operating cash flow and no assurances that sufficient funding will be available to conduct further exploration and development of its interests in exploration properties.

	The Company does not generate cash flow from operations to fund its activities and has therefore relied principally upon the issuance of securities for financing. Future capital requirements will depend on many factors including the Company's ability to execute its business plan. The Company intends to continue relying upon the issuance of securities to finance its future activities, but there can be no assurance that such financing will be available on a timely basis under terms acceptable to the Company, particularly in view of current market conditions. Although these consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the inability to secure future financing, such a situation would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s recoverability of assets, classification of assets and liabilities, and results of operations should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

	The business of mining and exploration involves a high degree of risk and there can be no assurance that current exploration programs will result in profitable mining operations. The Company has no source of revenue, and has significant cash requirements to meet its administrative overhead and maintain its interest in exploration properties. The recoverability of amounts shown for interest in exploration properties is dependent on several factors. These include the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the development of these properties, and future profitable production or proceeds from disposition. The carrying values of the Company’s interest in exploration properties do not reflect current or future values.

2.	BASIS OF PREPARATION

	Statement of compliance

	These consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), and Interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations committee (“IFRICs”).

	These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis. In addition these consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting.

	The accounting policies set out in Note 3 have been applied consistently by the Company and its subsidiaries in preparing the consolidated financial statements for the years ended January 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011.

2.	BASIS OF PREPARATION (cont’d…)

	Approval of the financial statements

	The consolidated financial statements of Dorato for the years ended January 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 were reviewed by the Audit Committee and approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on May 30, 2013.

	Foreign currency translation

	Items included in the financial statements of each of the Company’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, the Company’s functional currency. The financial statements of the subsidiaries have the same functional currency as that of the Company. Amounts recorded in foreign currencies are translated into Canadian dollars as follows:

	i)	Monetary assets and liabilities, at the rate of exchange in effect as at the consolidated statement of financial position date;

	ii)	Non-monetary assets and liabilities, at the exchange rates prevailing at the time of the acquisition of the assets or assumption of the liabilities; and

	iii)	Interest income and expenses (excluding depreciation, which is translated at the same rate as the related asset), at the rate of exchange on the transaction date.

Gains and losses arising from this translation of foreign currency are included in the determination of net loss for the year.

Use of judgments and estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates. These consolidated financial statements include estimates which, by their nature, are uncertain. The impacts of such estimates are pervasive throughout the consolidated financial statements, and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and future years if the revision affects both current and future years. These estimates are based on historical experience, current and future economic conditions and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Critical accounting estimates

Significant assumptions about the future and other sources of estimation uncertainty that management has made at the end of the reporting year, that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, in the event that actual results differ from assumptions made, relate to, but are not limited to the following significant area:

	(i)	recoverability of the carrying amount of interest in exploration properties (Note 8);

	(ii)	inputs used in measuring the deferred income tax assets and liabilities (Note 13).

2.	BASIS OF PREPARATION (cont’d…)

	Review of asset carrying values and impairment assessment

	Each reporting period, assets or cash generating units are evaluated to determine whether there are any indications of impairment. If any such indication exists, which is often judgmental, an impairment test is performed and if indicated, an impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of an asset or cash generating group of assets is measured at the higher of fair value less costs to sell or value in use.

	Deferred income taxes

	The determination of the Company’s tax expense or recovery for the year and deferred tax liabilities involves significant estimation and judgment by management. In determining these amounts, management interprets tax legislation in a variety of jurisdictions and makes estimates of the expected timing of the reversal of deferred tax assets and liabilities. Management also makes estimates of future earnings which affect the extent to which potential future tax benefits may be used. Estimates of future taxable income are based on forecasted cash flows from future operations and the application of existing tax laws in each jurisdiction. Forecasted cash flows are based on life of mine projections. To the extent that future cash flows from operations and taxable income differ significantly from estimates, the ability of the Company to realize the net deferred income tax assets recorded on the consolidated statements of financial position could be impacted. The Company is also subject to assessments by various taxation authorities, which may interpret legislation differently. These differences may affect the final amount or the timing of the payment of taxes. The Company provides for such differences where known based on management’s best estimate of the probable outcome of these matters.

	Critical accounting judgments

	The determination of categories of financial assets and financial liabilities has been identified as an accounting policy which involves judgments or assessments made by management. The following are accounting items which involve judgment:

	Mineral properties

	The acquisition of title to mineral properties is a complicated and uncertain process. The Company has taken steps, in accordance with industry standards, to verify mineral properties in which it has an interest. Although the Company has made efforts to ensure that legal title to its properties is properly recorded in the name of the Company, there can be no assurance that such title will ultimately be secured.

	Going concern

	The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make judgments regarding its assessment of the going concern assumption as it relates to the Company. Going concern presentation of the consolidated financial statements assumes the Company will continue operations for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations as they come due. Significant judgment is involved in this assessment.

2.	BASIS OF PREPARATION (cont’d…)

	Critical accounting judgments (cont’d…)

	Functional currency

	The functional currency of the Company and each of its subsidiaries is the Canadian dollar (“CAD”), which is the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. Determination of functional currency may involve certain judgments to determine the primary economic environment and this is re-evaluated for each new entity or if conditions change.

3.	SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

	Basis of consolidation

	These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (Note 16). Subsidiaries are entities over which the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies through share ownership and the existence of voting rights currently or potentially exercisable. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred. All significant intercompany balances and transactions were eliminated upon consolidation.

	Cash and cash equivalents

	Cash and cash equivalents consists of cash on deposit at major financial institutions in Canada and Peru and highly liquid investments that are cashable into known amounts of cash on demand, and which are subject to insignificant credit and interest rate risk.

	Investments

	Investments, not including derivatives, are classified as available-for-sale, and are carried at quoted market value, where applicable, or at an estimate of fair value. Resulting unrealized gains or losses, net of applicable income taxes, are reflected in other comprehensive income, while realized gains or losses are reflected in operations.

	The investments are reviewed, on an investment-by-investment basis, quarterly, to consider whether there are any conditions that may indicate that the investments are impaired. When the impairments are identified, in the Company’s assessment, the accumulated unrealized gains or losses are reflected in operations rather than in other comprehensive income. Significant or prolonged decline in its fair value below its cost is objective evidence of impairment.

	Interests in exploration properties

	All of the Company’s projects are currently in the exploration and evaluation phase.

(i) Pre-exploration costs

Pre-exploration costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

(ii) Exploration and evaluation expenditures

Once the legal right to explore a property has been acquired, costs directly related to the acquisition of interests in exploration properties are capitalized, on an area-of-interest basis. Subsequently the mineral property rights are carried at cost, less any impairment, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale, being commercial production at operating levels intended by management.

3.	SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d…)

	Interests in exploration properties (cont’d…)

	Exploration expenditures incurred during the exploration and evaluation phase are expensed as incurred and included in profit or loss.

	The Company assesses interests in exploration properties for impairment when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of an asset may exceed its recoverable amount. Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting the mineral resource has been determined, the property is considered to be a mine under development and is classified as “mine development costs”. Interests in exploration properties are also tested for impairment before the assets are transferred to development properties.

	As the Company currently has no operational income, any incidental revenues earned in connection with exploration activities are applied as a reduction to property carrying values. Interest in exploration properties are classified as intangible assets.

	Property, plant and equipment

(i) Recognition and measurement

On initial recognition, property, plant and equipment are valued at cost, being the purchase price and directly attributable costs of acquisition or construction required to bring the asset to the location and condition necessary to be capable of operating in the manner intended by the Company, including appropriate borrowing costs and the estimated present value of any future unavoidable costs of dismantling and removing items. The corresponding liability is recognized within provisions.

Property, plant and equipment is subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation, less any accumulated impairment losses, with the exception of land, which is not depreciated.

When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.

(ii) Subsequent costs

The cost of replacing part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Company and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. The costs of the day-today servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

(iii) Major maintenance and repairs

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.

(iv) Gains and losses

Gains and losses on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount, and are recognized in profit or loss.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d…)

Property, plant and equipment (cont’d…)

(v) Depreciation

Depreciation is recognized in profit or loss on a declining-balance basis at the following annual rates:

Computer equipment	-	25% - 30%
Office equipment	-	10% - 25%
Leasehold improvements	-	straight-line over the lease term

Additions during the year are depreciated at one-half the annual rates.

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year-end and adjusted if appropriate.

Impairment of long-lived assets

Non-current assets are evaluated at least annually by management for indicators that carrying value is impaired and may not be recoverable. When indicators of impairment are present the recoverable amount of an asset is evaluated at the level of a cash generating unit (CGU), the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets, where the recoverable amount of a CGU is the greater of the CGU’s fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. An impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss to the extent the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.

The Company uses its best efforts to fully understand all of the aforementioned to make an informed decision based upon historical and current facts surrounding the projects. Discounted cash flow techniques often require management to make estimates and assumptions concerning reserves and expected future production revenues and expenses.

Reversal of impairment

An impairment loss is reversed if there is an indication that there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized. An impairment loss with respect to goodwill is never reversed.

Provisions for environmental rehabilitation

The Company records a liability based on the best estimate of costs for site closure and reclamation activities that the Company is legally or constructively required to remediate. The liability is recognized at the time environmental disturbance occurs and the resulting costs are capitalized to the corresponding asset. The provision for closure and reclamation liabilities is estimated using expected cash flows based on engineering and environmental reports prepared by third-party industry specialists and discounted at a pre-tax rate specific to the liability. The capitalized amount is depreciated on the same basis as the related asset. The liability is adjusted for the accretion of the discounted obligation and any changes in the amount or timing of the underlying future cash flows. Significant judgments and estimates are involved in forming expectations of the amounts and timing of future closure and reclamation cash flows.

Additional disturbances and changes in closure and reclamation estimates are accounted for as incurred with a change in the corresponding capitalized cost. Costs of rehabilitation projects for which a provision has been recorded are recorded directly against the provision as incurred.

3.	SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d…)

	Income taxes

	The Company uses the balance sheet method of accounting for income taxes. Under the balance sheet method, deferred 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 basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets also result from unused loss carry-forwards, resource related pools and other deductions. A deferred tax asset is recognized for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.

	Capital stock

	The proceeds from the exercise of stock options and warrants are recorded as capital stock in the amount for which the option and warrant enabled the holder to purchase a share in the Company. Commissions paid to underwriters, and other related share issue costs, such as legal, auditing and printing, on the issue of the Company’s shares are charged directly to capital stock. Common shares issued for consideration other than cash are valued based on their market value at the date the agreement to issue shares were concluded.

	Valuation of equity units issued in private placements

	The Company has adopted the residual value method with respect to the measurement of shares and warrants issued as private placement units. The residual value method first allocates value to the more readily determinable component based on fair value and then the residual value, to the remaining component.

	Share-based payments

	The Company has a stock option plan that is described in Note 10. Share-based payments to employees are measured at the fair value of the instruments issued and amortized over the vesting periods. Share-based payments to non-employees are measured at the fair value of the goods or services received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued if it is determined the fair value of the goods or services cannot be reliably measured, and are recorded at the date the goods or services are received. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards expected to vest. The offset to the recorded cost is to share-based payments reserve. Consideration received on the exercise of stock options is recorded as capital stock and the related share-based payments reserve is transferred to capital stock.

	Earnings (loss) per share

	Basic loss per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. 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 earnings per share is calculated presuming the exercise of outstanding options, warrants and similar instruments. It assumes that the proceeds of such exercise would be used to repurchase common shares at the average market price during the period. However, the calculation of diluted loss per share excludes the effects of various conversions and exercise of options and warrants that would be anti- dilutive.

3.	SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d…)

	Financial instruments

	Financial assets and liabilities are initially recognized at fair value on settlement date and are subsequently measured based on their classification. Regular purchases and sales of financial instruments are recognized at trade date.

(i) Financial assets

The Company classifies its financial assets in the following categories: at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments or available-for-sale financial assets. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of financial assets at recognition.

Fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized at fair value with changes in fair value recorded through profit or loss. Cash and cash equivalents are included in this category of financial assets.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are classified as current assets or non-current assets based on their maturity date. Loans and receivables are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment. Loans and receivables are comprised of accounts receivable.

Held-to-maturity investments

Held-to-maturity investments are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Transaction costs are added and amortized over the life of the financial instrument on an effective yield basis.

Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale (“AFS”) financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated as available-for-sale or not classified in any of the other financial asset categories. Changes in the fair value of AFS financial assets other than impairment losses are recognized as other comprehensive income and classified as a component of equity. AFS are comprised of an investment in shares of an actively traded security.

Management assesses the carrying value of AFS financial assets for objective evidence that impairment exists each reporting period and any impairment charges are recognized in profit or loss. When financial assets classified as available-for-sale are sold, the accumulated fair value adjustments recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income are included in profit and loss.

(ii) Financial liabilities

Other financial liabilities

Other financial liabilities are non-derivatives and are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred, and are subsequently stated at amortized cost. Any difference between the amounts originally received, net of transaction costs, and the redemption value is recognized in profit and loss over the period to maturity using the effective interest method.

Other financial liabilities are classified as current or non-current based on their maturity date. Financial liabilities include accounts payable and accrued liabilities and due to related parties.

4.	CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

	The Company has reviewed new and revised accounting pronouncements that have been issued but are not yet effective. The Company has not early adopted any of these standards and is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that these standards might have on its consolidated financial statements:

	Accounting Standards Issued and Effective for Years Beginning on or After July 1, 2012:

	IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements (Amendment) is an amendment that requires components of other comprehensive income (OCI) to be separately presented between those that may be reclassified to income and those that will not.

	Accounting Standards Issued and Effective for Years Beginning on or After January 1, 2013:

	IAS 19 Employee Benefits (2011) is an amended version with revised requirements for pensions and other post- retirement benefits, termination benefits and other changes.

	Disclosures — Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (Amendments to IFRS 7) amends the disclosure requirements in IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures to require information about all recognized financial instruments that are set-off in accordance with paragraph 42 of IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation.

	The amendments also require disclosure of information about recognized financial instruments subject to enforceable master netting arrangements and similar agreements even if they are not set off under IAS 32.

	IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements establishes principles for the presentation and preparation of consolidated financial statements when an entity controls one or more other entities. This standard:

	i.	requires a parent entity (an entity that controls one or more other entities) to present consolidated financial statements

	ii.	defines the principle of control, and establishes control as the basis for consolidation

	iii.	sets out how to apply the principle of control to identify whether an investor controls an investee and therefore must consolidate the investee

	iv.	sets out the accounting requirements for the preparation of consolidated financial statements.

IFRS 10 supersedes IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements and SIC-12 Consolidation—Special Purpose Entities.

IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements establishes the core principle that a party to a joint arrangement determines the type of joint arrangement in which it is involved by assessing its rights and obligations and accounts for those rights and obligations in accordance with that type of joint arrangement.

Joint arrangements are either joint operations or joint ventures:

A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement (joint operators) have rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. Joint operators recognize their assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses in relation to its interest in a joint operation (including their share of any such items arising jointly)

(Expressed in Canadian dollars)

4.	CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (Cont’d…)

A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement (joint venturers) have rights to the net assets of the arrangement. A joint venture applies the equity method of accounting for its investment in a joint venture in accordance with IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (2011). Unlike IAS 31, the use of “proportionate consolidation” to account for joint ventures is not permitted.

IFRS 12 Disclosure of Involvement with Other Entities requires the disclosure of information that enables users of financial statements to evaluate the nature of, and risks associated with, its interests in other entities and the effects of those interests on its financial position, financial performance and cash flows.

IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement defines fair value, sets out in a single IFRS a framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. IFRS 13 applies when another IFRS requires or permits fair value measurements or disclosures about fair value measurements (and measurements, such as fair value less costs to sell, based on fair value or disclosures about those measurements), except for: share-based payment transactions within the scope of IFRS 2 Share-based Payment; leasing transactions within the scope of IAS 17 Leases; measurements that have some similarities to fair value but that are not fair value, such as net realisable value in IAS 2 Inventories or value in use in IAS 36 Impairment of Assets.

IAS 27 Separate Financial Statements has the objective of setting standards to be applied in accounting for investments in subsidiaries, jointly ventures, and associates when an entity elects, or is required by local regulations, to present separate (non-consolidated) financial statements.

IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures prescribes the accounting for investments in associates and sets out the requirements for the application of the equity method when accounting for investments in associates and joint ventures. IAS 28 applies to all entities that are investors with joint control of, or significant influence over, an investee (associate or joint venture).

Annual Improvements 2009-2011 Cycle

Makes amendments to the following standards:

IFRS 1 — Permit the repeated application of IFRS 1, borrowing costs on certain qualifying assets
IAS 1 — Clarification of the requirements for comparative information
IAS 16 — Classification of servicing equipment
IAS 32 — Clarify that tax effect of a distribution to holders of equity instruments should be accounted for in accordance with IAS 12 Income Taxes
IAS 34 — Clarify interim reporting of segment information for total assets in order to enhance consistency with the requirements in IFRS 8 Operating Segments

Consolidated Financial Statements, Joint Arrangements and Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities: Transition Guidance amends IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements, IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements and IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities to provide additional transition relief by limiting the requirement to provide adjusted comparative information to only the preceding comparative period. Also, amendments to IFRS 11 and IFRS 12 eliminate the requirement to provide comparative information for periods prior to the immediately preceding period.

4.	CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (Cont’d…)

	Accounting Standards Issued and Effective for Years Beginning on or After January 1, 2015:

	IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (2010) is a revised version incorporating revised requirements for the classification and measurement of financial liabilities, and carrying over the existing de-recognition requirements from IAS 39

	Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.

	The revised financial liability provisions maintain the existing amortized cost measurement basis for most liabilities. New requirements apply where an entity chooses to measure a liability at fair value through profit or loss – in these cases, the portion of the change in fair value related to changes in the entity’s own credit risk is presented in other comprehensive income rather than within profit or loss.

5.	RISK MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

	The carrying values of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and amounts due to related parties approximate their fair values due to the expected short-term maturity of these financial instruments. Fair value estimates are made at specific points in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument.

	IFRS 7 Financial instruments: Disclosures establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value as follows:

Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and

Level 3 – inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The fair value hierarchy requires the use of observable market inputs whenever such input exists. A financial instrument is classified to the lowest level of the hierarchy for which a significant input has been considered in measuring fair value.

The following table sets forth the Company’s significant financial assets measured at fair value by level within the fair value hierarchy.

5.	RISK MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (cont’d…)

	The Company’s risk exposure and the impact on the Company’s financial instruments are summarized below:

	a)	Credit risk

		In respect to accounts receivable, the Company is not exposed to significant credit risk, as the majority are due from governmental agencies.

		Concentration of credit risk exists with respect to the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, as all amounts are held at a single major Canadian financial institution and a major Peruvian financial institution. The Company’s concentration of credit risk and maximum exposure thereto in Canada follows. Similar risk in Peru is considered not significant.

Cash and equivalents		January 31, 2013		January 31, 2012

Held at a major Canadian financial institution	$	37,703	$	59,865
Peruvian financial institution		378		286
	$	38,081	$	60,151

		The credit risk associated with cash and cash equivalents is minimized substantially by ensuring that these financial assets are placed with major Canadian and Peruvian financial institutions with strong investment- grade ratings by a primary ratings agency.

	b)	Liquidity risk

		Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in satisfying financial obligations as they are due. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to provide reasonable assurance that it will have sufficient funds to meet liabilities when due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows required by operations and anticipated investing and financing activities. The Company normally maintains sufficient cash and cash equivalents to meet the Company’s business requirements but at January 31, 2013, the cash and cash equivalents balance of $38,081 is insufficient to meet the Company’s needs for the coming year. Therefore, the Company will be required to raise additional capital in order to fund its operations in fiscal 2014.

		Liabilities as at January 31, 2013 were as follows:

		0 to 3		3 to 6		6 to 12
Due in		months		months		months		Total

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities	$	531,989	$	-	$	-	$	531,989

5.	RISK MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (cont’d…)

	c)	Market risk

		Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and other price risk.

		i.	Interest rate risk

			Interest rate risk consists of the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates.

			The Company manages interest rate risk by maintaining an investment policy that focuses primarily on preservation of capital and liquidity. The interest income earned on cash is minimal; therefore, the Company is not subject to interest rate risk.

		ii.	Foreign currency risk

			The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk to the extent expenditures incurred or funds received and balances maintained by the Company are denominated in currencies other than the Canadian dollar (primarily United States dollars (“USD”) and Peruvian soles (“soles”)). The Company has net monetary assets of $14,600 denominated in USD and net monetary liabilities of $274,000 denominated in soles. For the year ended January 31, 2013, the Company’s sensitivity analysis suggests that a change in the absolute rate of exchange in USD by 5% will increase or decrease net loss by approximetely $800 and a change in the absolute rate of exchange in soles by 7% will increase or decrease net loss by approximately $19,000. There will be no impact on other comprehensive loss. The Company has not entered into any foreign currency contracts to mitigate this risk.

		iii.	Other price risk

			Other price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market prices, other than those arising from interest rate risk or foreign currency risk. The Company’s investments are carried at market value and are, therefore, directly affected by fluctuations in the market value of the underlying securities. The Company’s sensitivity analysis suggests that a 1% change in market prices would change the value of the investment by approximately $1,500.

6.	INVESTMENT

	All investments in shares are classified as available-for-sale under the financial instruments classification.

	During the year ended January 31, 2013, the Company acquired 681,818 common shares of Indico Resources Ltd. for a total cost of $150,000. Impairment losses as at January 31, 2013 on the investment amounted to $13,636.

	Subsequent to the year-end, the market value of the above-mentioned shares has declined to $0.085 per share for a total value of $57,955.

These individual option agreements can relate to mineral claims included in more than one geological area and are identified below.

	Property acquisitions

	During the year ended January 31, 2008, the Company entered into five option agreements (Vicmarama Property, Maravilla Property, Lahaina 1 Property, Lahaina 2 Property and Afrodita Property) to earn a 100% interest in certain mineral mining concessions located in Peru (the “Mineral Claims”), for which Canadian regulatory approval was received on April 24, 2008. Although the commercial terms of all the undernoted option agreements have now been completed, none of the options have been exercised. During the years ended January 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company entered into additional option agreements (David Property, Marita Property and Cangaza Property) for which Canadian regulatory approval was also received.

On October 17, 2008, the Company amended the original option agreement. Under the Amended Agreement, the Company paid a total of US$3,000,000 and issued a total of 8,600,000 common shares. These concessions are all within the Central Zone.

Royalty option agreement

On June 22, 2012 the Company entered into a Royalty Purchase Agreement with Franco-Nevada Corporation (“Franco”) whereby Franco has been granted a 2% net smelter return on the Company’s mineral properties in Peru in consideration of $350,000 in cash (received). This Agreement replaces the Royalty Option Agreement between the parties dated July 18, 2008 and amended March 30, 2009 which the parties mutually agreed to terminate.

Acquisitions

The acquisition of title to exploration properties is a detailed and time-consuming process. The Company has taken steps, in accordance with industry standards, to verify title to exploration properties in which it has an interest. Although the Company has taken every reasonable precaution to ensure that legal title to its properties is properly recorded in the name of the Company, there can be no assurance that such title will ultimately be secured.

	Environmental expenditures

	The operations of the Company may in the future be affected from time to time in varying degrees by changes in environmental regulations, including those for future removal and site restoration costs. Both the likelihood of new regulations and their overall effect upon the Company vary greatly and are not predictable. The Company’s policy is to meet or, if possible, surpass standards set by relevant legislation by application of technically proven and economically feasible measures.

	Environmental expenditures that relate to ongoing environmental and reclamation programs are charged against earnings as incurred or capitalized and amortized depending on their future economic benefits. Estimated future removal and site restoration costs, when the ultimate liability is reasonably determinable, are charged against profit or loss over the estimated remaining life of the related business operation, net of expected recoveries. The Company is not aware of any asset retirement obligations as of January 31, 2013 and 2012.

15.	CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

	The Company manages its capital structure, being its capital stock, and makes adjustments to it based on the funds available to the Company in order to support future business opportunities. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company’s management to sustain future development of the business.

	The Company currently has no source of revenues; as such the Company is dependent upon external financings to fund activities. In order to carry future projects and pay for administrative costs, the Company will spend its existing working capital and needs to raise additional funds. Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable.

	There were no changes to the Company’s approach to capital management during the year ended January 31, 2013. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
