The Company has also granted to the Agents an option (the “Agents’ Option”) exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time prior to 24 hours prior to the closing of the Offering, to increase the size of the Offering up to an additional 4,687,500 Units (the “Additional Units”), having the same terms as the Units, at the offering price set forth above for further gross proceeds of up to $3,750,000. This short form prospectus qualifies the distribution of the Agents’ Option and the Additional Units issuable upon exercise of the Agents’ Option.  The price of the Units was determined by negotiation between the Company and the Agents.  The Units will be separable into Shares and Warrants immediately following closing of the Offering.  The outstanding common shares of the Company are listed for trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) under the symbol “OYM”. On June 25, 2006, the last trading day before the announcement of the Offering, the closing price of the Company’s common shares on the TSX was $0.83. The TSX has conditionally approved the listing of the Shares (including Shares comprised in the Additional Units), the Agents’ Shares (defined below)), the Warrant Shares underlying the Warrants (including Warrant Shares underlying the Warrants comprised in the Additional Units) and the Agent’s Warrant Shares (defined below) on the TSX. The TSX has also conditionally approved the listing of the Warrants (including Warrants comprised in the Additional Units) and Agents’ Warrants (defined below) on the TSX at closing.  Listing of the Shares, Warrant Shares, Agents’ Shares, Agents’ Warrant Shares, Warrants and Agents’ Warrants will be subject to the Company fulfilling all of the requirements of the TSX.

Summary Description of the Business of the Company

The Company is engaged in the business of mineral exploration, development and mining of mineral properties, primarily in South East Asia with a main focus in Vietnam. The Company’s two most advanced properties are the 70 sq km Phuoc Son Gold Property and the 30 sq km Bong Mieu Gold Property, both located in central Vietnam, approximately 74 km apart. The Company is currently evaluating the Capcapo Property in the Philippines with a view of acquiring an option to earn a 60% interest in the property.
 
The Company is continuing broad regional geology programs to identify other potential exploration areas, and during 2006 filed additional applications for exploration licences in Vietnam.
 
The Company’s principal properties are summarized below.

Bong Mieu Gold Property (Vietnam)

The Company’s subsidiary, Bong Mieu Gold Mining Limited (“Bogomin”), together with other local and national branches of the government of Vietnam, holds various mining and exploration licences granting exploration rights to the Bong Mieu Gold Property and the Tien Ha properties in Quang Nam-Da Nang Province, in Vietnam.
 
The property is covered by a 25-year investment licence, No 140/GP (the “Bong Mieu Investment License”) covering 3,000 hectares which was granted by the State Committee for Co-operation and Investment of the Vietnam government on March 5, 1991 and amended in 1993. The Bong Mieu Investment Licence permitted two parties
 

- 5 -

(namely MIDECO, a Vietnamese governmental organization, and the Company) to establish Bogomin, a joint venture enterprise.  Bogomin must pay a 3% net smelter return royalty to the Vietnamese government, and pay specified rent of US$200 per hectare per annum for land. The joint venture profits shall be shared as follows: 10% for MIDECO; 10% for MINCO and 80% for the Company.
 
The Bong Mieu Gold Property hosts a gold mine (the “Bong Mieu Central Gold Mine”), for which the Company has proven and probable reserves. Another deposit (the “Bong Mieu Underground Deposit”) is located within one kilometre of the operating Bong Mieu Central Gold Mine plant site. Exploration work to date on the Bong Mieu Gold Property has resulted in one new significant discovery (“Thac Trang”) during 2006 in the Bong Mieu East area as well as a number of new surface showings.

During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company completed construction of its gold processing plant at Bong Mieu Central Gold Mine where the first 3.65 kilogram gold dore bar was poured on February 15, 2006. The cost of the mineral property and rights and deferred development costs related to the Bong Mieu Central Gold Mine, is about $1.3 million and $0.2 million respectively, as at March 31, 2007, and the cost of the property, plant, equipment and infrastructure for the Bong Mieu Central Gold Mine is approximately $7.2 million as at March 31, 2007. The plant is currently operating with a throughput of about 500 tonnes per day. The Bong Mieu Central Gold Mine pilot plant project reached commercial production levels effective October 1, 2006. To increase gold recoveries by second quarter 2007, a re-grind circuit was received in December 2006 and is being installed.  A control and monitoring system was installed in December 2006 and is being implemented in first quarter 2007. There are no further significant capital expenditures anticipated to be incurred in 2007 for the gold processing plant at this stage. On November 1, 2005, Bong Mieu Gold Mining Company entered into a refining and sales contract with Argor-Heraeus SA (“Argor”) whereby Bong Mieu delivers dore bars which contain gold and silver to Argor’s delivery point at which point the risks of ownership pass to Argor. Argor purchases the gold and silver from Bong Mieu at an amount equal to the value of the gold and silver shipment less any refining and transport charges. The value of the gold and silver is determined by a number of factors such as the market price of gold and silver and assuming a specified return rate on gold and silver equal to 99.95% and 98%, respectively. The price of gold used in the calculation is equal to the London Bullion market AM-fixing in US dollars per troy ounce and the price of silver used is equal to the silver-fixing of the London Bullion market in US dollars per troy ounce. The contract is valid from November 1, 2005 until October 31, 2007, with an option to extend the contract if agreed upon by both parties. Currently, the Company has one customer, Argor. If Argor was unable to purchase the Company’s gold, management believes another customer could be procured on a timely basis and any inventoried dore bars could be sold at the then market value.

The Company has rehabilitated approximately 500 metres of previous workings at the Bong Mieu Underground Deposit since October 2005. The Company is fully permitted to mine the Bong Mieu Underground Deposit which is located within one kilometre of the Bong Mieu Central Gold Mine plant.

Exploration, infill and metallurgical drill programs continued in the Bong Mieu area. As of December 2006, the Company completed 66 drill holes totalling approximately 3,020 metres.

Preliminary exploration programs, including drilling, were initiated in 2006 to evaluate the economic potential of two new prospects located on the property. These prospects are referred to as Bong Mieu East and Bong Mieu West. At the Bong Mieu Underground Deposit, the exploration decline portal was completed and the first 70 metres of the tunnel were developed during the year ended December 31, 2006.

Exploration, infill and metallurgical drill programs continued in the Bong Mieu East area.  The program has confirmed that the mineralized structure extends for more than 100 metres to the east. Drilling results from the program indicated significant tungsten mineralization associated with the gold bearing zone.  The associated tungsten may enhance the potential value of the mineralization. As of March 31, 2007, Olympus has completed six holes totalling approximately 212 metres in the Bong Mieu Central (VN 220) Area 11 to evaluate the east extension of a narrow but high grade vein-structure mined at Area 11.

Metallurgical test-work by SGS Lakefield Research (“Lakefield”) in Canada on representative Bong Mieu East sulfide ore types continued during the third and fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 2006. The results of


- 6 -

the metallurgical test-work and the updating of the Bong Mieu East resource estimates are expected in the quarter ended September 30, 2007.
 
Elsewhere on the Bong Mieu Gold Property, surface prospecting and trenching have new areas of prospective alteration and mineralization on the property which will be further evaluated and tested by drilling during 2007.
 
As of the date hereof, the Bong Mieu exploration license is expired and a new license is in the process of being obtained.  This license is separate from the other licenses.  Currently, the Company is engaging in exploration activities under the Bong Mieu Investment Licence. Under Vietnamese law, an exploration license is required in order to get new mining licenses or amend existing licenses. The exploration license is therefore required if the Company wants to amend or add new mining licenses. The Company currently has mining licenses to cover the area being mined but to further expand the mining area to cover a new mining area the Company would require an exploration license before obtaining the new or amended mining license. Failure to obtain a new exploration license could impede the Company’s future activities in connection with Bong Mieu including limiting the Company’s ability to mine additional areas. Exploration license terms are typically two years if it is the first renewal of the license. Given the lengthy process involved in obtaining an exploration license, the Company does not anticipate receiving this exploration license until the quarter ended March 31, 2008.  Please see “Risk Factors” below for further details.

Phuoc Son Gold Property (Vietnam)

The Company is actively exploring the Phuoc Son Gold Property for primary gold deposits in addition to those already known.  The Phuoc Son Gold Property is located in the western highlands of Quang Nam Province, in central Vietnam.
 
On October 20, 2003, the Minister of the Ministry of Planning and Investment of the Vietnam government granted a 30-year investment licence No. 2355/GP (the “Phuoc Son Investment Licence”) covering 7,000 hectares for the Phuoc Son Gold Property. The Phuoc Son Investment Licence permitted the Company (through its wholly-owned subsidiary, New Vietnam Mining Corporation (“NVMC”)), and Mien Trung Industrial Company (“Minco”), a mining company controlled by the local provincial government, to establish Phuoc Son Gold Company Limited (“PSGC”) as a joint venture, for a term of 30 years. The Company is the operator of the joint venture project.
PSGC is owned 85% by NVMC with the remaining 15% owned by Minco

The Phuoc Son Gold Property hosts more than 30 known gold prospects and two known high-grade gold deposits in the Dak Sa area of the property. PSGC has received all major environmental approvals and on January 23, 2006 was granted a mining licence by the Government of Vietnam to mine and develop its two Dak Sa deposits (the “North Deposit” and “South Deposit”, and collectively the “Dak Sa Deposits”). The mining licence was the last major permit required prior to proceeding with development and production of the Dak Sa Deposits. 
 
Exploration drilling during 2005 and 2006 has defined and expanded the zone (the “Dak Sa Zone”) which contains the two Dak Sa Deposits, over a minimum length of approximately five kilometres.
 
On May 18, 2005, the Company announced the results of a positive independent preliminary assessment study of the Dak Sa Underground Project, which incorporates both Dak Sa Deposits prepared by Micon International Limited. If developed and constructed into mines, the Company anticipates the two Dak Sa Deposits will share the same infrastructure and eventually be connected by an underground tunnel. There are no known commercially mineable mineral deposits on the Phuoc Son Gold Property and the Company provides no assurance that a commercially mineable mineral deposit exists on the property.
 
On January 23, 2006, a mining licence was granted to PSGC by the Vietnam government over the Dak Sa Deposits, which allows the Company, within a 3.5 year period from date of grant, to construct the mine within 1.5 years and perform mining activities over two years. The Company expects that it will require an extension on the mining licence as these time frames will be inadequate for construction and mining. As at December 31, 2006, the plant site and portal area have been cleared at the Dak Sa Deposits, the road construction was approximately 70% complete and the explosives magazine had been designed and permitted. The Company has substantially completed its in-


- 7 -

house scoping study on the Dak Sa Deposits the purpose of which is to ascertain the costs associated with the construction and operation of a mine to process the ore, determine the process that will maximize gold recovery and assess the financial viability of such a project. Once the study is completed and if it indicates economic viability, the construction of the mine and production should follow within 18 to 24 months.
 
On March 7, 2007, the Company released updated mineral resource estimates for the Dak Sa Deposits on its Phuoc Son Gold Property, incorporating the results of drilling up to October 2006 as follows:

As of the date hereof, the Phuoc Son exploration licence has expired and the Company is in the process of applying for a new exploration license which would allow exploration activities in the specified areas.  This license is separate from the other licenses. Currently, the Company is engaging in exploration activities under the Phuoc Son Investment Licence. Under Vietnamese law, an exploration license is required to get new mining licenses or amend existing licenses. The exploration license is required if the Company wants to amend or add new mining licenses. The Company currently has mining licenses to cover the area being mined but to further expand the mining area or cover a new mining area the Company would require an exploration license before obtaining a new mining license or amending an existing license. Failure to obtain a new exploration license could impede the Company’s future activities in connection with Phuoc Son including limiting the Company’s ability to mine additional areas. Exploration license terms are typically two years if it is the first renewal of the license. Given the lengthy process involved in obtaining an exploration license, the Company does not anticipate receiving the exploration license until the quarter ended September 30, 2007. Please see “Risk Factors” below for further details

Capcapo Property (Northern Philippines)

On November 23, 2006, the Company signed a Memorandum of Agreement and Supplement to Memorandum of Agreement (collectively, the “MOA”) with Abra Mining and Industrial Corporation (“AMIC”) and Jabel Corporation (“Jabel”) which will allow the Grantee (defined as the Company and a Philippine national corporation) to acquire an option to earn a 60% interest in AMIC’s Capcapo mining tenement (the “Capcapo Property”) located in the Province of Abra in the Philippines upon completing a specified level of expenditures on the property. The MOA is a binding agreement that is conditional on the completion of the related due diligence program to validate historical drilling information. Under Philippine law, foreign-owned entities can only hold up to 40% of a Mineral Production Sharing Agreement (“MPSA”). Consequently, Olympus can only directly hold 40% in the MPSA and will have to identify a Philippine national corporation to hold the additional 20%. On May 31, 2007, a Philippine corporation was registered with the Republic of the Philippines Securities and Exchange Commission under the corporate name of Kadabra Mining Corp (“Kadabra”), registered to do business in the Philippines. The Company’s interest in the Capcapo Property will be held by Kadabra. Kadabra has articles of incorporation and authorized and outstanding stock of PHP30,000,000.00 and is 99.99% owned by the Company. Under the terms of the MOA, six months after the signing of a formal agreement, the Grantee will cause Olympus to issue common shares to AMIC with a total value of US$350,000 based on the average of the trading price of the Company’s common shares for the five trading days preceding the date of the signing of the formal agreement.  Once the Grantee has spent US$3 million on exploration and development work on the Capcapo Property, the Grantee will cause Olympus to


- 8 -

issue to AMIC further common shares of Olympus with a total value of US$450,000 based on the average of the trading price of the Company’s common shares for the five trading days preceding their date of issuance. To earn the 60% interest, a cumulative spending of US$6 million by the Grantee on exploration and development must occur by the end of the fifth year after the signing of the formal agreement. The Grantee earns a 20% interest after the first US$1 million is spent, an additional 20% interest after an additional US$2 million has been spent and an additional 20% interest after an additional US$3 million has been spent. Once the 60% interest has been earned, a new joint venture company (“NEWCO”) would be formed of which the Grantee would hold a 60%. If the Grantee obtains less than the 60% interest, the Grantee would share in less than 60% of the results of the joint venture. One year after full commercial production is achieved on the property, a royalty would be paid to Jabel, the underlying title holder of the property, equal to either 3% of gross value of production or 6% of annual profit of NEWCO, as defined in the MOA, whichever is higher.  The MOA also provides the Company with a right of first refusal covering approximately 320 square kilometres of other AMIC/Jabel tenements within this prospective area.

If exploration results are favourable, then the focus would be to construct a mine in order to extract, process and produce gold, with the future impact on the Company of higher capital expenditures associated with mine construction and upon completion of the mine construction, increased production and sales.

The Capcapo project area has similar epithermal-porphyry gold characteristics as compared to the nearby Baguiothe Baguio-Mankayan Gold–Copper District located 85 kilometres along strike.  Results from Olympus’ field verification program of the main prospect, returned channel sampling assays of 6.78 g/t gold and 8.36 g/t silver over 20 metres from previous excavated trenches. The Company commenced a drill program during the 1st quarter of 2007 and have drilled four holes to date. The ongoing 2007 exploration program will consist of step-out drilling designed to significantly expand the mineralized zone as well as ground exploration programs to test and delineated other prospective target areas on the property.

Recent Developments

The following discussion sets out the recent developments and the proposed exploration and development programs on the Company’s properties.  Roger Dahn, Vice President Exploration of the Company, a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 “Standards of Disclosure for Minerals Projects” (“NI 43-101”), has reviewed or prepared the proposed exploration and development programs.

The mineralized vein zone is hosted within altered metasediments and trends roughly east–west. The zone is shallow dipping (20 to 40 degrees) to the south.
 
The Company is planning a first phase drill program consisting of nine shallow holes which will be completed to test the continuity of this near surface mineralization of the vein zone. This first phase drill program commenced in the second quarter of fiscal 2007.

The Bong Mieu Central Gold Mine currently operates a 500 tonnes per day plant being fed from the Hogan 2.5g/t open pit.  The maximum production from such a plant is 13,000 ounces per year and at that rate the Hogan pit reserves are anticipated to last just under 4 years.
 
Management has identified additional resource potential in the immediate vicinity of the Bong Mieu Central Gold Mine including the other occurrences identified on the Bong Mieu Gold Property, as described below, and have proposed a scoping and feasibility study to optimise the size of the operation. The costs estimated for the next 2 years of the scoping and feasibility study are as follows:

Bong Mieu East (VN 240)

The Bong Mieu East area (VN 240) hosts two known gold deposits, Ho Ray and Thac Trang. Exploration work to date has been concentrated on defining a resource at the Ho Ray and Thac Trang deposits and has confirmed that the mineralization remains open to the north and northeast directions.
 
The Company’s planned exploration program for the Bong Mieu East project includes approximately 12,000 metres of infill drilling, required to define the resource and to calculate ore reserves. Key work to be conducted includes completion of the resource estimation, additional metallurgical testwork, pit optimisation, continued economic scoping of these deposits and operation of environmental impact assessment programs.
 
The bulk of the planned $2.47 million Bong Mieu East (VN 240) budget is allocated to the resource drilling program and scoping study as follows:

Bong Mieu Exploration Program (VN 210)
       

In addition to the Bong Mieu Central Gold Mine and the Bong Mieu East resource areas, the balance of Bong Mieu Gold Property also hosts a number of other significant occurrences, which have seen limited exploration testing to date.  The Company is proposing to evaluate the overall magnitude of mineralization on the Bong Mieu Gold Property within the next two years. The assorted phase 1 work program within these target areas will largely consist of exploration drilling and trenching on:

  
Bong Mieu East extensions
 
  
Northwest Prospects
 
  
South Trend Prospects – Suoi Tre, Nui Kem West and others
 
  
Ho Gan, Ho Gan West and Nui Kem Upper Vein

Phase 2 will consist largely of follow-up and resource drilling based on the prioritized results of phase 1.  The following table is a summary of the work done to date on these targets:

(“CRM”) identified an historic resource at the Nui Kem mine located on the Bong Mieu Gold Property.  The CRM historic resources were not prepared in compliance with NI 43-101.  Between January 2005 and December 2006, the Company reopened, mapped and sampled many hundreds of metres of the underground mine. This work identified previously un-mined material.
 
The possibility of any future mining activity at the underground mine would be determined by the verification and updating of the CRM historical resource. As the steeply dipping surface terrain would make surface drilling very expensive, a plan to develop a decline from surface to a level below the old bottom of the mine has been developed. At the bottom of the decline a hanging wall drive would be developed from which exploration holes could be drilled to determine the extent and value of the resource. The plan also has the positive benefit of providing access to the old parts of the mine from which economic mining operations could commence if the results indicate sufficient merit. The estimated costs of this plan are set out in the following table:

Dak Sa Exploration Program (VN 320)

The Dak Sa exploration project (VN 320) covers the two Dak Sa Deposits. During 2007, the Company completed 13 holes of an exploration step-out drill program on the northern extension of the Dak Sa Deposits (the “Dak Sa Northern Extension”) extending the known zone of mineralization to a defined strike length of over approximately 900 metres which remains open. Assay highlights from the drill program are as follows:

Notes:

(1)  
All holes were drilled at an inclination of –90 degrees unless otherwise stated.
(2)  
Based on current geological interpretation of the drilling results, core widths approximately reflect true widths. Additional drilling is required before definitive true widths can be determined.
(3)  
All assays were performed by the Mineral Assay and Service Co. Ltd. (“MAS Laboratory”) located in Bangkok, Thailand using the fire assay method on 50 grams of prepared sample. The MAS Laboratory is certified by the Thailand Department of Industrial Works and Ministry of Industry.

Substantial infill drilling is required to advance the indicated potential of the Dak Sa North Extension mineralization to resource status.  The planned resource drilling program will be completed in stages, with the initial phase designed to achieve inferred resource status. The objective of the subsequent drilling is to elevate the resource to indicated resource status.
 
Additional exploration drilling is also required at the North Extension to test down dip and examine the projected Dak Sa shear zone to the north. Exploration drilling in the Bai Choui area, located between the North and South Deposits, returned encouraging alteration and mineralization including 8.2 g/t over 1.5 metres. Further exploration and step-out drilling is planned to address this prospective area.  If results warrant, infill resource drilling will follow.
 
The Dak Sa area also hosts other occurrences which have seen variable exploration to date. The following table briefly summarizes these gold occurrences that the Company believes warrant additional exploration work.

.Phuoc Son Exploration (VN 310) Program
 

The Phuoc Son Gold Property also hosts a number of other significant occurrences outside the Dak Sa Deposit area. Generally, these occurrences have seen lower levels of exploration work completed to date. The ongoing exploration in the Dak Sa area has extended the North Extension mineralization into the Hoa Son area. Thus the K7 shear zone appears to represent the northern extension of the Dak Sa deformation zone which hosts the North and South Deposits. This extension area is known to host encouraging mineralization and alteration at Hoa Son, K7 and Vang Nhe. The Dak Sa – K7 corridor will be a priority exploration sector along with the Tra Long – Suoi Cay trend. The table below summarizes exploration work on these areas undertaken to date:

Capcapo Property (Northern Philippines)

Drilling commenced on February 21, 2007 to evaluate the main Capcapo prospect area where surface channel sampling by Olympus returned assays of 6.78 g/t gold and 8.36 g/t silver over 20 metres.
 

DDH07-09, the initial hole of Olympus’ program, has intersected extensively altered breccia. The alteration zone contains gold and copper mineralization averaging 1.49 g/t gold, 0.31% copper and 5.6 g/t silver from surface to a depth of 94 metres.

Higher grade gold intervals are calculated as:

  
3.66 g/t gold, 0.08 % copper and 7.2 g/t silver from surface to 27.74 metres; or
 
  
2.65 g/t gold, 0.23% copper and 7.12 g/t silver from surface to 43.0 metres.

The mineralization/alteration exhibits copper gold zonation with a high-grade gold zone from surface to 27.74 metres depth averaging 3.66 g/t gold (as above). Copper content increases below 26.0 metres and includes 0.75 g/t gold, 0.53% copper and 5.48 g/t silver over a core width of 43.0 metres; and contains two higher grade copper intervals of:

  
0.49 g/t gold, 0.69 % copper and 6.39 g/t silver over 7.26 metres; and
 
  
0.77 g/t gold, 0.74% copper and 4.87 g/t silver over 16.0 metres.

In addition, surface reconnaissance mapping has located mineralized breccia material located approximately 150 metres south of hole DDH07-09 assaying 3.65 g/t gold and 3.20 g/t gold and 400 metres east which assayed 0.32 g/t gold from grab samples.

 
Hole DDH 07-12, which is a 50 metre step-out to the east of hole DDH 07-11, intersected significant gold and copper mineralization as follows:

  
3.06 g/t gold, 0.67% copper and 2.53 g/t silver over a core width of 28 metres including:

  
     4.43 g/t gold, 0.91% copper and 3.38 g/t silver over 18 metres
 

- 22 -
 
Holes DDH07- 11 intersected:

     2.55 g/t gold, 0.55% copper and 3.49 g/t silver over a core width of 27 metres; or
 
   
     4.05 g/t gold, 0.78% copper and 4.81g/t silver over 16 metres

Notes:
(1)  
Hole 07-09 was drilled at an inclination of -45 degrees on an azimuth of 180 degrees.  Both of hole 07-10 & 11 were drill vertical.  Hole 07-12 was drilled at an inclination of -75 degrees on an azimuth of 270 degrees
(2)  
Based on current geological interpretation of the drilling results, true widths of holes 07-10 to 12 approximate true width while hole 07-09 is estimated at this time to represent approximately 60% of the core width. Additional drilling is required before definitive true widths can be determined.

The deposit is open for expansion and drilling continues and work to date is evidencing the potential size of the copper-gold system at Capcapo, which has similarities to the Baguio-Mankayan Gold–Copper District located 85 kilometres along strike.  The ongoing exploration program at Capcapo is designed to evaluate the known Capcapo occurrence area and the larger camp scale potential of the overall “grassroots stage’ land package and will consist of the following:
 
·  
complete geological mapping, geochemical and geophysical ground surveys (magnetics and induced polarization) over the Capcapo occurrence area (4 km x 2 km);
 
·  
continued step-out drilling at Capcapo occurrence based on results and geology;
 
·  
complete airborne magnetic (+/- EM & radiometric) survey and Aster and digital topographic data to assist in the evaluation of the large “grassroots stage” land package;
 
·  
Recce geological mapping, prospecting and geochemical surveys (stream sediment, ridge & spur and topographic contour sampling) to evaluate & prioritize other target areas and known occurrences; and
 
·  
complete 1st phase exploration drilling of new targets and occurrences both in the immediate main deposit area and outboard.

An investment in the securities offered hereby involves a high degree of risk and must be considered speculative due to the nature of the Company’s business and present stage of exploration and development of its mineral properties.
 
Prospective purchasers of securities offered hereby should give careful consideration to the information included or incorporated by reference in this short form prospectus and the Company’s historical consolidated financial statements and related notes before making an investment decision to purchase Units.  The risk factors contained in the Annual Information Form are incorporated herein by reference.  These risk factors include the risks associated with there not being a known commercially mineable mineral deposit on the Company’s properties; risks associated with a history of net losses and financing risks; risks related to the Company’s limited operating history and competition from other mineral companies; risks associated with the Company and third parties fulfilling contractual obligations; risks associated with the estimate of reserves, mineral resources and production; risks of development, construction and mining operations; exploration and mining risks; risks associated with the limited information relied on in putting the Company’s Bong Mieu Central Mine into production; risks associated with non-compliance with environmental and regulatory requirements; risk of changes to applicable government regulations relating to the mining industry or to their application or shifts in political conditions in foreign countries; risk of changes to environmental legislation; risks associated with the Vietnamese and Philippine political and legal environment; risks associated with doing business in Vietnam and the Philippines; risks associated with the acquisition of title to mineral properties; risks associated with the obtaining and maintaining licenses and permits; risks associated with fluctuating commodity prices, interest rates, shares prices and foreign currencies exchange rates; risks associated with dependence on key management personnel; the risk of conflicts of interest; risks associated with United States Securities and Exchange Commission “penny stock” rules; risks associated with dilution to shareholders and sales of common shares; risks associated with the payment of dividends; and the inability to economically or fully insure against certain risks.
 
In order to explore, develop or conduct mining operations in Vietnam, the Company was required to create an entity authorized to conduct business in Vietnam pursuant to an investment licence.  Then, the Company required a prospecting licence, an exploration licence or a mining licence, depending on the level of work being conducted on the property.  Without all the appropriate licenses, the Company’s activities on its properties in Vietnam could be impeded.  The Company’s exploration licenses on the Bong Mieu and Phuoc Son Gold Properties have expired and applications for new exploration licenses for Bong Mieu and Phuoc Son Gold Properties are in progress.  Currently, the Company is engaging in exploration activities under its investment licenses covering both the Bong Mieu and Phuoc Son Gold Properties.  Under Vietnamese law, an exploration license is required in order to get new or amended mining licenses.  The Company currently has mining licenses to cover the areas being mined but to further expand the mining area or cover a new mining area the Company would require an exploration license before obtaining the new or amended mining license. The failure by the Company to obtain the needed exploration licenses could limit the Company’s ability to mine new additional areas and therefore negatively impact production and profitability of the Company.
 
Additional risks not currently known to the Company, or that the Company currently deems immaterial, may also impair the Company’s operations.
 
 
The following table sets forth the consolidated capitalization of the Company as at the dates indicated, and adjusted to give effect to the Offering.  The table should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the financial year ended December 31, 2006 and the interim unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the three-month period ended March 31, 2007, including the notes thereto and the management’s discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial conditions for such periods, each incorporated by reference herein.

 Warrants
 
Each whole Warrant will be exercisable to purchase one Warrant Share at a price of $0.90 per Warrant Share for a period of 24 months from the Closing Date.
 
The Warrants will be issued under a warrant indenture (the “Warrant Indenture”) to be entered into between the Company and Computershare Trust Company of Canada (the “Warrant Agent”), as warrant agent.  The Company will appoint the principal transfer offices of the Warrant Agent in Vancouver and Toronto as locations at which the Warrants may be surrendered for exercise, transfer or exchange.  The Warrant Indenture will, among other things, include provisions for the appropriate adjustment in the class, number and price of the Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Warrants upon the occurrence of certain events, including any subdivision, consolidation or reclassification of the Company’s common shares, the payment of stock dividends and the amalgamation of the Company.
 
No adjustment in the exercise price or the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants will be required to be made unless the cumulative effect of such adjustment or adjustments would change the exercise price by at least 1% or the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise by at least one one-hundredth of a Warrant Share.
 
The Company will also covenant in the Warrant Indenture that, during the period in which the Warrants are exercisable, it will give notice to holders of Warrants of certain stated events, including events that would result in an adjustment to the exercise price for the Warrants or the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, at least 14 days prior to the record date or effective date, as the case may be, of such event.
 
No fractional Warrant Shares will be issuable upon the exercise of any Warrants, and no cash or other consideration will be paid in lieu of fractional shares.  Holders of Warrants will not have any voting or pre-emptive rights or any other rights which a holder of Warrant Shares would have.
 
From time to time, the Company and the Warrant Agent, without the consent of the holders of Warrants, may amend or supplement the Warrant Indenture for certain purposes, including curing defects or inconsistencies or making any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any holder of Warrants.  Any amendment or supplement to the Warrant Indenture that adversely affects the interests of the holders of the Warrants may only be made by “extraordinary resolution”, which is defined in the Warrant Indenture as a resolution either (1) passed at a meeting of the holders of Warrants at which there are holders of Warrants present in person or represented by proxy representing at least 10% of the aggregate number of the then outstanding Warrants and passed by the affirmative vote of holders of Warrants representing not less than 66⅔% of the aggregate number of all the then outstanding Warrants represented at the meeting and voted on the poll upon such resolution or (2) adopted by an instrument in writing signed by the holders of Warrants representing not less than 66⅔% of the aggregate number of all the then outstanding Warrants.
 
The foregoing is a summary only of the terms of the Warrants and is qualified by and subject to the more detailed provisions of the Warrant Indenture.
