EXPLANATORY NOTE

Crosshair Exploration & Mining Corp. (“Crosshair” or the “Company”) is a Canadian issuer eligible to file its annual report pursuant to Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), on Form 20-F. This Amendment No. 1 on Form 20-F (the “Amendment”) hereby amends Crosshair’s Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2007, as originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 31, 2007 (the “Original Filing”). The Amendment is being filed solely to address those comments raised by the SEC in its comment letters to the Company dated January 30, 2008 and March 20, 2008, and to incorporate relevant portions of the disclosure contained in the Company’s amended and restated management’s discussion and analysis originally filed by the Company with the SEC as Exhibit 99.2 to Form 6-K on April 11, 2008. This Amendment does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Original Filing and should not be viewed as updating any information contained therein. Except as described above, no other changes have been made to the Original Filing.

PART I

ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY

4.A.       History and Development of the Company

Introduction

Crosshair Exploration & Mining Corp. was incorporated as a specially limited company pursuant to the Company Act (British Columbia) on September 2, 1966 under the name Shasta Mines & Oil Ltd. (Non-Personal Liability). On March 5, 1986 we converted from a specially limited company into a limited company under the name of International Shasta Resources Ltd. On March 1, 2004 we changed our name to Crosshair Exploration & Mining Corp.

Our executive office is located at:

Suite 1240 - 1140 West Pender Street
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6E 4G1
Telephone: (604) 681-8030
Facsimile: (604) 681-8039
Website: www.crosshairexploration.com
Email: mark@crosshairexploration.com

The contact person is: Mr. Mark J. Morabito, President.

Our fiscal year ends April 30th.

Our common shares first began trading on the Vancouver Stock Exchange under the name Shasta Mines & Oil Ltd. on March 14, 1969. Our common shares have been trading on the TSX Venture Exchange with the trading symbol “CXX” since March 1, 2004. On February 10, 2006, the Company graduated to Tier 1 on the TSX Venture Exchange. On May 7, 2007, our Common Shares began trading on the American Stock Exchange with the trading symbol “CXZ.”

On March 29, 2004, the Company Act (British Columbia) (the “Company Act”) was replaced by the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the “BCBCA”). Accordingly, we are now subject to the BCBCA and are no longer governed by the Company Act. There are a number of differences under the BCBCA, which differences are designed to provide greater flexibility and efficiency for British Columbia companies.

1


Under the BCBCA, every company incorporated under the Company Act must complete a mandatory transition rollover under the BCBCA to substitute a Notice of Articles for its Memorandum within two years of March 29, 2004. On June 1, 2004 we replaced our Memorandum with a Notice of Articles as is required by the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). The only information contained in the Notice of Articles is the authorized share structure of the company, the name of the company, the address of the registered and records office of the company, and the names and addresses of the directors of the company. On March 11, 2005, we changed our authorized capital to an unlimited number of common shares.

Property Acquisitions

Since the beginning of fiscal 2007, we have acquired the following properties :

Newfoundland

On May 1, 2006, we entered into an option agreement with Rubicon Minerals Corporation (“Rubicon Minerals”) to earn a 60% interest in the Golden Promise project. On December 8, 2006, Rubicon Minerals spun-off its Newfoundland mineral properties under a plan of arrangement to Paragon Minerals Corporation (“Paragon Minerals”). All references to Paragon Minerals in this report also include its predecessor, Rubicon Minerals, where the context requires. The Golden Promise claims are contiguous with those of our South Golden Promise Property. In order to earn our interest, we must spend $4.0 million over four years (including $750,000 in the first year), issue shares totaling 80,000 (including 20,000 shares in the first year) and make underlying property payments. The budget for the first year after vesting will be capped at $3.0 million unless increased by mutual consent.

On June 7, 2006, we acquired 90 additional claims from Paragon Minerals (originally optioned by Paragon Minerals from local private interests) contiguous with the southwestern portion of the South Golden Promise property in the Victoria Lake region. This is an addendum to the original Victoria Lake Property agreement signed with Paragon Minerals in February, 2003. We can earn a 60% interest in the additional 90 claims by maintaining the claims in good standing and making cash payments totaling $95,000 to the property vendors. The property vendors also maintain a 2.5% Net Smelter Return Royalty (NSR) on the property.

In July 2007, we staked an additional 34 claims contiguous with the South Golden Promise property boundary, which are subject to the terms and conditions of the option agreement signed with Paragon Minerals.

Labrador

In May 2007, we entered into an agreement with Belmont Resources Inc. and International Montoro Resources Inc. whereby we acquired the option to earn a 75% interest in 139 additional claims comprising four different mineral licences in the Central Mineral Belt of Labrador totaling 34.75 km. Three of the licences, referred to as the Stormy Lake block, are contiguous with the southern boundary of the Central Mineral Belt Project, while the other licence, referred to as the Partridge River block, is situated approximately 95 km west of the property. Under the terms of the agreement, we may earn a 75% interest in the claims by carrying out $800,000 in exploration expenditures and issuing 175,000 common shares to the vendors over a three year period.

Between April and July 2007, we staked an additional 120 claims contiguous with the Central Mineral Belt project boundaries, bringing the total number of claims to 2,999 covering 74,975 hectares. A total of $24,000 in eligible exploration expenditures must be spent on these claims before July 2008.

Property Terminations

We have not terminated our options in any of our properties since the beginning of fiscal 2007.

Capital Expenditures

Our capital expenditures, excluding property, plant and equipment, for the last three fiscal years were as follows:

We expect to incur capital expenditures of approximately $12,000,000 for fiscal year 2008. Our capital expenditures have been financed through sales of our Common Shares.

4.B.       Business Overview

Historical Corporate Development

We are a mineral exploration company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties (primarily uranium, base and precious metals). We do not have any producing mineral properties at this time. Our business is presently focused on the exploration and evaluation of various mineral deposits in North America.

We are currently focusing our exploration activities on the following properties:

  • South Golden Promise, Victoria Lake and Golden Promise properties located in Newfoundland, Canada, acquired through option agreements with Paragon Minerals in February 2003 and May 2006.

  • Central Mineral Belt properties located in Labrador, Canada, acquired through separate option agreements in November 2004 (amended March 2005), December 2005 and May 2007, as well as through claim staking.

We are currently considering a strategy of combining the Golden Promise project, the South Golden Promise project and our Victoria Lake project into a new company, which could be spun out to our shareholders. Such a strategy would allow us to focus exclusively on our Central Mineral Belt Labrador uranium projects. Our implementation of such a strategy will depend on our exploration results and prevailing market conditions. However, we may also decide to not implement this strategy.

During fiscal 2006, we decided not to pursue exploration on certain properties. In this regard, the option-JV agreements with Paragon Minerals for the Glenwood Break and Wings Point-Titan properties were terminated and related property costs were written off. During fiscal 2005, we announced that we had completed a formal joint venture with the Liaoning Non-ferrous Geological Bureau in China for the Beigou Gold Project. However, during the third quarter of 2006, we decided to shift our main focus to our Newfoundland and Labrador properties and as a result decided not to continue with the Beijou Gold Property in China.

During fiscal 2004, we entered into agreements to acquire a 100% interest in the North Paul’s Pond Gold Property in Newfoundland and the DJ Gold Property in Shaanxi, China, which were subsequently terminated in fiscal 2006 and fiscal 2005, respectively. Related property costs were written off.

The Company’s objective is to work aggressively on the exploration and development of its mineral properties in the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada and to aggressively seek other opportunities.

Material Effects of Government Regulations

Our current and anticipated future operations, including further exploration activities, require permits from various Canadian Federal and Provincial governmental authorities. Such operations are subject to various laws governing land use, the protection of the environment, production, exports, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, well safety and other matters. Unfavorable amendments to current laws, regulations and permits governing operations and activities of resource exploration companies, or more stringent implementation thereof, could have a materially adverse impact on us and cause increases in capital expenditures which could result in our ceasing operations. We have had no material costs related to compliance and/or permits in recent years, and anticipate no material costs in the next year.

Seasonality

We can only carry out exploration when weather is favourable. Typically, we cannot carry out any work during the months of November and December for winter freeze-up and March and April for spring break-up on our Canadian properties.

Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors concerning estimates of Inferred Resources

This section uses the term “inferred resources.” We advise U.S. investors that while this term is recognized and required by Canadian regulations, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize it. “Inferred 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 prefeasibility studies, except in rare cases. U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that part or all of an inferred resource exists, or is economically or legally minable.

Our properties are in the exploration stage and a substantial amount of capital will have to be spent on each property before we will know if they contain commercially viable mineral deposits. Our material properties are located in the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. Our properties are without known reserves and the work being done by us is exploratory in nature.

Our executive offices are located in rented premises of approximately 2,858 square feet at Suite 1240, 1140 West Pender Street, Vancouver, British Columbia Canada. We have occupied these facilities since 2006 and our current monthly rent is approximately $7,575. We also have a field office at 39 Sagona Avenue, Mount Pearl, Newfoundland, Canada where our current monthly rent is approximately $3,574.

Golden Promise Property and Agreements

Paragon Minerals acquired an option to earn a 100% interest in the Golden Promise property subject to an underlying option agreement with William Mercer and Stephen Courtney (the “Vendors”). A total of 192 claims (4,800 hectares) comprise the option arrangement with William Mercer with payments totaling $230,000 ($155,000 paid) and 100,000 Paragon Minerals common shares, all of which have been issued. The option arrangement with Mr. Courtney involves 6 claims (150 hectares) with payments totaling $35,000. Both vendors are entitled to a 2% NSR subject to a $1 million buyback of 50% of the NSR at anytime. Paragon Minerals also staked claims in the immediate vicinity of the vendors claims to now hold a total of 1,033 claims as outlined in the Summary of Licences Under Option below.

On May 2, 2006, the Company entered into an option agreement with Paragon Minerals to earn a 60% interest in the Golden Promise Project.

6


The option agreement calls for:

  i)

Issuing common shares:


      Number of        
      shares        
  Within 5 days of the execution date of the            
  agreement   20,000     Issued by the Company  
  On or before May 1, 2007   20,000     Issued by the Company  
  On or before May 1, 2008   20,000        
  On or before May 1, 2009   20,000        
      80,000        

  ii)

Incurring a total of $4,000,000 in exploration expenditures:


      Amount        
  On or before May 1, 2007 (as a firm and $  750,000 (1)      
  binding commitment)            
  On or before May 1, 2008   900,000        
  On or before May 1, 2009   1,100,000        
  On or before May 1, 2010   1,250,000        
    $  4,000,000        

(1)

As at April 30, 2007, the Company incurred $745,004 in exploration expenditures, paid $85,000 in cash, and issued 20,000 common shares at a value of $25,400 for acquisition costs.


  iii)

Make cash payments on behalf of Paragon Minerals for Paragon Minerals’ obligations with respect to the Golden Promise Project and other claims as follows:


      Amount        
  On or before June 1, 2006 $ 75,000 Paid by Paragon Minerals
  On or before June 14, 2006   10,000     Paid by the Company  
  On or before June 14, 2007   15,000        
    $  100,000        

During the year ended April 30, 2007, the Company advanced $587,000 to Paragon Minerals for Golden Promise exploration costs and at April 30, 2007, Paragon Minerals had spent $742,803. As a result the Company owes Paragon Minerals $155,803.

A 14 hole, 3,073 meter program was completed in the 2006/2007 winter exploration program. This drilling was successful in extending the main Jaclyn vein system by more than 50% to a current defined strike length of 750 metres and to a depth of 225 metres, and the zone remains open. Visible gold was noted in 10 of the 14 holes completed in this phase of drilling, which included some of the highest grades reported to date.

The work completed to date has unveiled a significant gold bearing system at the main Jaclyn Zone. At Jaclyn North, which also remains open in all directions, 4 of 6 holes completed to date intersected visible gold bearing quartz veins. Given its potentially high grade nature and its close proximity to the main Jaclyn Zone, the Jaclyn North system could prove to be an extremely important component of the Golden Promise project and will be addressed with additional drilling in the future.

7


In advance of the planned spin out of its Newfoundland gold and base metal assets, the Company plans to commission a NI 43-101 report covering the Golden Promise (gold) and Victoria Lake (zinc/copper/silver/gold) projects.

As of April 30, 2007, we incurred $745,004 in exploration expenditures, paid $85,000 in cash and issued 20,000 Common Shares at a value of $25,400 for acquisition costs.

The six blocks of licenses cover 25,825 hectares in 1,033 map-staked claims. Each claim is 500 by 500 metres, which is bounded by one corner of the UTM grid square and is one quarter of the square. The claims are grouped into licenses, which are the units of ownership and assessment work requirements. The details of the licenses covered by the option agreement are described as follows:

Paragon Minerals will be the operator (manager) overseeing the execution of the exploration programs in the first and second years for cost plus 8% fee. Subsequent to the second year, we will consider renewing Paragon Minerals as operator or elect to carry out the exploration programs on Golden Promise using in-house personnel.

Property Location

The Golden Promise Property consists of six blocks of licenses located east, and northeast of Red Indian Lake in west central Newfoundland specifically within National Topographic Series (NTS) Map Sheets 12A/16 and 2D/13, part of the Grand Falls – Buchans Electoral District. The claims are crosscut by an all season Highway (Route 370) connecting the towns of Buchans in the southwest to Badger at the Trans Canada Highway in the northeast end of the property.

8


Accessibility

The properties are accessible from Badger on the Trans Canada Highway via Route 370 to Buchans Junction about 43 km to the southwest. The Buchans Highway (Route 370) is the principal access road to the various blocks in the west and southwest portions of the property where most of the exploration activity has been focused. Access to the eastern and southern portions of the property is gained via logging roads trending south and west of the town of Grand Falls-Windsor, a major industrial hub for central Newfoundland. The Exploits River, the largest river system on the Island of Newfoundland, crosses the north-western part of the property. Secondary access to most of the property is provided by logging roads and snowmobile and ATV trails leading from Route 370 as well as the logging roads south and southwest of Grand Falls-Windsor.

History and Previous Work

The exploration history of the vast majority of the property dates back only as far as 2002, when a prospector working in an area burned by a major forest fire in 1999 located gold-bearing quartz boulders immediately north of Route 370 approximately 10 kilometers southwest of the town of Badger. Exploration in the region prior to 2002 traditionally focused on the massive sulphide districts located south and west of the current property boundaries. The mining town of Buchans, located about 30 kilometers west - southwest of the property, produced ores carrying extremely rich grades of zinc (14.5%), copper (1.4%), lead (7.6%), gold (1.3 grams per tonne) and silver (126 grams per tonne) for 56 years prior to closing in 1984. The massive sulphide districts of Newfoundland are renowned for their high grade and polymetallic nature.

The property was mapped by both the Provincial and Federal Geological Surveys whose efforts included regional scale geological surveys and geochemical surveys including glacial till and lake sediment sampling.

In the spring of 2002, a local prospector, William Mercer, discovered several large boulders of gold bearing float of which a composite sample from 10 boulders returned 30 grams per tonne gold. The property was subsequently optioned by Mr. Mercer to Paragon Minerals in July of 2002.

Geological Setting

The property lies within the Dunnage Zone, a major tectonic and stratigraphic succession of Cambrian to Ordovician aged volcanic and sedimentary rocks occupying much of central Newfoundland. The Dunnage Zone rocks record the opening and closing of a proto-Atlantic Ocean known as Iapetus. The Dunnage Zone can be subdivided into two subzones, the Notre Dame and the Exploits, which are separated by a major fault system known as the Red Indian Line. The bulk of the Golden Promise property is inferred to be underlain by rocks of the Exploits Subzone, which includes the Badger and Victoria Lake Groups.

Regional Geology and Mineralization

The property is largely underlain by sedimentary rocks of the Badger Group, which conformably overlie Caradocian black shale, which in turn overlie Ordovician volcanic and sedimentary rocks of the Victoria Lake Supergroup. The volcanic sequences of the Victoria Lake Supergroup are among the most prolific hosts to massive sulphide copper/lead/zinc deposits in Canada.

Property Geology and Mineralization

The property is largely underlain by sedimentary rocks of the Badger Group, consisting mainly of arkose, greywacke and shale. The Badger Group rocks sit on top of the Victoria Lake sequences of volcaniclastic and fine grained sedimentary rocks. A unit of black shale of Caradocian age separates the Badger Group from the Victoria Lake Group and is a regional stratigraphic marker. All rock units have been folded into a series of tight, isoclinal, upright, northeast plunging folds. The dominant structural trend is northeasterly as demonstrated by northeasterly faults and mafic dykes, which occupy the faults at several locations.

The mineralization at Golden Promise consists of a series of sub-parallel gold-bearing quartz veins ranging up to 4 meters in true thickness. The veins are milky white, inclusion rich and locally bladed. Gold is hosted by the veins typically occurring within narrow intervals (20-30 cms) close to vein margins. Fine grained arsenopyrite is the most common accessory mineral with lesser amounts of pyrite, galena, spahalerite and chalcopyrite (< 1%).

At least 5 known zones of gold mineralization are known to occur at Golden Promise and include the Jaclyn, Jaclyn South, Jaclyn North, Christopher and Shawn’s Shot occurrences, of which the most important are the Jaclyn, Jaclyn South and Jaclyn North Zones. The most significant mineralization occurs at the Jaclyn Zone, which has been defined by diamond drilling over a strike length of 750 meters and to a vertical depth of 270 meters. A total of 63 holes have been drilled in to the Jaclyn Zone (9,000 meters) including 11 as part of the ongoing Phase 3 program which began at the end of June 2007. Significant intersections include GP02-01 which returned 16.57 grams per tonne gold over 1.64 meters, GP02-05 which returned 11.41 grams per tonne gold over 1.80 meters, GP02-09 which returned 7.05 grams per tonne gold over 2.22 meters, GP07-83 which returned 6.51 grams per tonne gold over 1.40 meters, and GP07-90 which returned 10-14 grams per tonne gold over 1.40 meters. Drilling completed in August of 2006 intersected a new hangingwall zone of mineralization which returned 93.71 grams per tonne gold over 1.40 meters.

The Jaclyn North occurrence, located 250 meters north of the Jaclyn Zone, has been tested by 10 drill holes and has been defined over a 250 meter strike length. The occurrence has returned values up to 5.24 grams per tonne gold over 1.70 meters.

The Jaclyn South occurrence, located 300 meters southeast of the Jaclyn Zone, consists of at least 3 vein zones up to 3.4 meters thick and has been tested by four drill holes. The best result to date is 0.30 meters grading 44.6 grams per tonne gold.

Exploration and Development

In July of 2002, the property was optioned by local prospectors to Paragon Minerals who completed a Phase 1 drilling program to follow up on the discovery of high grade gold-bearing float. The 21 hole program (1,045 meters) tested the Jaclyn Zone along a 225 meter strike length and to a vertical depth of 50 meters. Subsequent drilling in late 2003 extended the Jaclyn Zone along strike and to depth, and also tested the newly discovered Jaclyn North and Jaclyn South Zones.

We optioned the Golden Promise property from Paragon Minerals on May 1, 2006 and embarked on a Phase 2 drilling program in June. The Phase 2 program, completed in February 2007, included 5,488 meters of drilling in 29 holes on the Jaclyn, Jaclyn North and Jaclyn South Zones. In late June 2007, a 3,750 meter Phase 3 drilling program was initiated on the property, of which 2,614 meters have been completed in 15 holes. The remaining eight planned drill holes of the Phase 3 program are to be completed before the end of 2007.

The first year of the agreement between Crosshair and Paragon Minerals will see Paragon Minerals manage the program and collect an 8% management fee. Paragon Minerals has carried all exploration programs since 2002 and is the best candidate for managing the program. Successive drilling programs to date have been successful in extending the known limits of the Jaclyn Zone to 750 meters along strike and to vertical depths of 270 meters.

To date over $2.5 million in exploration work has been carried out on the property since 2002. The work includes more than 80 drill holes of which 63 have been drilled on the Jaclyn Zone, 4 holes at Jaclyn South and, 10 holes at Jaclyn North, 2 holes at the Christopher Zone and 2 holes at the Shawn’s Shot occurrence. The remaining drill holes tested various geochemical and geophysical targets over the remainder of the property. The drilling followed extensive soil sampling, prospecting and trenching, which included 21surface trenches, 5,624 soil samples and 2,334 rock samples as well as geological and structural mapping surveys. An 8,250 kilometer high resolution airborne magnetic and electromagnetic survey was flown in late 2003 to assist in the geological mapping and structural interpretation of the property. The airborne survey was extremely successful in outlining the trace of the Caradocian shale, a key marker unit closely associated with the mineralization at the Jaclyn Zone in particular.

South Golden Promise Property

Paragon Minerals acquired an option to earn a 100% interest in the South Golden Promise Property pursuant to an underlying option agreement, dated January 8, 2003, with Al Keats, Calvin Keats and Kevin Keats (the "Vendors"). The Vendors are entitled to a 2.5% Net Smelter Return. Paragon Minerals can repurchase a 1.5% Net Smelter Return for $1,500,000 and has a right of first refusal with respect to the remaining 1.0% . As of September 2005, Paragon Minerals completed its obligations under its option agreement with the Vendors and now holds a 100% interest in the South Golden Promise Property subject to the 2.5% Net Smelter Return.

On February 14, 2003, we entered into an option agreement with Paragon Minerals whereby we acquired an option to purchase and earn a 60% interest in the South Golden Promise Property. In order to earn the 60% interest, we agreed to pay $1,750,000 in exploration expenditures on the property and issue 400,000 common shares to Paragon Minerals, over a four year period. The schedule of work and share issuance is as follows:

Paragon Minerals was the contractor for the execution of the exploration programs in the first year for cost plus 8% fee. Subsequent to the first year, we have operated and carry out the exploration programs on the South Golden Promise property using in-house personnel.

We are responsible for paying for and renewing these licenses. The fee for license renewals is $25 per claim every five years and failure to pay the fee will result in the loss of the claims.

Property Location

The South Golden Promise Property consists of two blocks of Licences located east and southwest of Red Indian Lake in west central Newfoundland, in the Grand Falls – Buchans Electoral District. The property is named for the extension of similar geology of the Golden Promise property which is contiguous and immediately northeast of the South Golden Promise claims. The South Golden Promise Property also includes the Victoria Lake claims which are targeting massive sulphide deposits as opposed to the gold targets of Golden Promise and South Golden Promise

Accessibility

The properties are accessible from Badger on the Trans Canada Highway via Route 370 to Buchans Junction about 43 kilometers to the southwest of Badger, and from Grand Falls-Windsor, immediately east of the property. The Millertown – Lake Ambrose logging haulage road west southwest of Buchans Junction is the principal access road to the various claim blocks to the south and southwest. The Exploits River, the provinces largest river system, crosses the northern portion of the property. The Victoria Lake claim group, the southwestern most claims, are best accessed by the main logging road leading west from the Exploits Dam along the south shore of Red Indian Lake. Numerous older logging roads, generally in poor shape, crosscut the property and afford locally limited access.

History

The northeastern portion of the property has received the least amount of previous exploration. In fact, prior to the discovery of gold-bearing boulders at Golden Promise in 2002, most of the northern half of the property had received no previous exploration.

The bulk of exploration activity in the region focused on the highly prospective volcanic rocks to the southwest which are known to host numerous copper and zinc prospects in the region. The sedimentary sequences that host the Jaclyn gold mineralization were completely ignored by previous explorers. The volcanic sequences, most common on the south side of the Exploits River and occurring in the south central portion of the South Golden Promise property, received moderate amounts of exploration in the search for base metals (copper, lead and zinc). Noranda was most active and carried out ground surveys including, line cutting, geological mapping, soil sampling and geophysics.

12


Several widely spaced drill holes did not intersect any mineralization. Immediately east of the property Aur Resources (subsequently taken over by Teck/Cominco) commenced commercial production in January 2007 at the Duck Pond deposit and will produce concentrate containing copper, zinc, lead, gold and silver over the projected 10 year life of the mine.

The Victoria Lake claims have received the most intensive exploration of all of the South Golden Promise property. The claims are considered highly prospective to host significant quantities of massive sulphides rich in copper, lead, zinc, gold and silver. Noranda carried out numerous exploration programs over the past 25 years including diamond drilling. Favourably altered volcanic rocks were encountered in several localities and suggest that massive sulphide bodies could exist on the claims. Work by Paragon Minerals in 2002 located potentially significant gold mineralization in the extreme southwestern portion of the claim group. Results include sulphide-bearing quartz veins that have returned assays of 2.5 and 3.6 grams per tonne gold.

Property Geology

The South Golden Promise property, in particular the northern and central portions, is underlain mainly by sedimentary and volcanic rocks of the Ordovician Victoria Lake Group which are in turn overlain by the Badger Group sedimentary rocks. The Badger Group rocks only occur in the northern portion of the property with the vast majority of the property area underlain by rocks of the Victoria Lake Group. The Victoria Lake Group is dominated in the upper sections by fine grained sedimentary sequences, while the lower portions of the Group are dominated by mafic and felsic volcanic rocks with minor interbedded sedimentary rocks. The Victoria Lake Group and Badger Group rocks are separated by a regionally important marker horizon of Caradocian shale.

The prominent structures on the property are a major syncline - anticline pair traced by folds in the Cardocian shale. The folds are tight and upright with a gentle plunge to the northeast. Penetrative foliation is common and sub parallel to bedding. Glacial striae showing ice movement to the northeast and south-southeast are observed locally.

The Victoria Lake claims are underlain mainly by volcanic and sedimentary rocks of the Victoria Lake Group. The felsic volcanic rocks in this area are considered highly prospective for hosting significant massive sulphide deposits and several areas of favourably altered and locally mineralized volcanic rocks are known to occur. These areas will be the primary target of exploration efforts on that portion of the property.

Exploration and Development

Since acquiring the properties, we have completed several phases of exploration including prospecting, mapping, till and rock sampling as well as excavator trenching on targets defined by the other works. The Victoria Lake claims also had ground gravity surveying completed to help identify potential massive sulphide targets. Diamond drilling has been carried out on the gold targets at South Golden Promise and the massive sulphide targets at Victoria Lake.

At South Golden Promise, the work to date has outlined a significant gold-bearing quartz vein system that has been exposed on surface for 170 meters and tested to about 50 meters in diamond drilling. A total of 16 holes were completed at South Golden Promise with two holes returning visible gold bearing quartz veining returning a high of 19.5 grams per tonne gold over 1.15 meters. Further work including diamond drilling and trenching of soil geochemical anomalies is proposed for the South Golden Promise gold target.

At Victoria Lake, an 11 hole (2,197 meters) diamond drilling program was completed in 2006. The program tested several coincidental geological, rock and soil geochemical anomalies as well as geophysical (gravity) anomalies identified by Crosshair. Favorably altered, sulphide-bearing felsic volcanic units were encountered in several of the holes. The drilling program was managed by Paragon Minerals personnel who have extensive experience in the region and who received 8% of the program costs as a management fee. Further work including diamond drilling has been recommended.

As at April 30, 2007, the Company incurred $9,861,712 (net of $266,300 credits received) in exploration expenditures, paid $300,000 in cash, and issued 1,100,000 common shares at a value of $960,000 for acquisition costs.

The Company completed over 9,400 metres of drilling in the 2007 winter exploration program on the Central Mineral Belt project. The drilling focused on the Upper and Lower C Zones and targets along strike, and the results continue to substantiate the potential for a large uranium deposit(s) within a 4.5 kilometer-long trend. This drilling, together with over 20,000 metres of drilling in 2006, will be used to greatly expand the existing NI 43-101 resource outlined by Shell Canada drilling in the late 1970s. This updated resource estimate will be completed in July 2007.

A 40,000 meter drill program utilizing three drill rigs is planned for the remainder of the year on the entire Central Mineral Belt Project. The program is designed to increase the uranium resource contained in the Upper C Zone, delineate a uranium resource at the Lower C and B Zones, continue defining known uranium zones at Area 1, Moran Heights and Croteau Lake, and test new “Blue Sky” uranium targets. Concurrently, an extensive mapping, rock sampling, geochemical and geophysical program will be carried out on the under-explored southern region of the 750 square kilometer project.

On December 2, 2005, we entered into an agreement to acquire 56 claims from Triassic Properties Limited, a private St. John’s, Newfoundland based company. The claims cover historic uranium occurrences and are strategically located within the Moran Lake property holdings. In order for us to earn a 100% interest in the Otter and Portage Lake claims, subject to a 1.5% NSR to the vendor, we must, over the 3 year term, carry out $600,000 in eligible exploration expenses, issue 225,000 common shares and pay an aggregate of $140,000. Through April 30, 2007, we have spent $208,765 in exploration costs, issued 125,000 Common Shares and made cash payments of $55,000

15


In May 2007, we entered into an agreement with Belmont Resources Inc. and International Montoro Resources Inc. whereby we acquired the option to earn a 75% interest in 139 additional claims comprising four different mineral licences in the Central Mineral Belt of Labrador totaling 34.75 km. Three of the licences, referred to as the Stormy Lake block, are contiguous with the southern boundary of the Central Mineral Belt Project, while the other licence, referred to as the Partridge River block, is situated approximately 95 km west of the property. Under the terms of the agreement, we may earn a 75% interest in the claims by carrying out $800,000 in exploration expenditures and issuing 175,000 common shares to the vendors over a three year period.

Property Description and Location

Accessibility

Helicopter, and to a lesser degree float plane service out of Goose Bay, is the most efficient means of access to the property. Local infrastructure is confined to the limited facilities of the community of Postville, which does enjoy commercial airline service from Goose Bay and commercial ferry service from St John’s, Newfoundland. Coastal boats are available to convey goods and passengers from Happy Valley to Postville. Most necessary goods and services, including charter aircraft, can be obtained in Goose Bay, which has excellent commercial airline connections to St John’s, Halifax and Montreal.

This part of Labrador has a sub-Arctic climate with short, cool summers and long, cold winters. Snow cover lasts for six to eight months. Freeze-up begins in late-October and the lakes become ice free in mid-June. Temperature ranges can be extreme from -30°C in winter to in excess of 28°C in the summer. Lengthy periods of fog and/or rain can be experienced during the summer exploration season.

The topography of the Moran Lake area consists of rolling highlands with maximum relief approaching 300m. The hilltops can be partly barren while the slopes and valleys are covered in vegetation, mostly scrubby black spruce and some deciduous trees with thick intervening growth of alders. Almost everywhere there is a thick ground cover of moss. The valleys are steep sided at many locations and are often host to boggy ground with small ponds or lakes. Moran Lake, one of the largest lakes on the property, occupies a prominent valley which trends east-northeast.

History

Uranium was first discovered near Moran Lake by British Newfoundland Exploration Limited, which conducted prospecting, geological mapping and radiometric surveying in the area from 1956 to 1958. In 1964, Mokta Co. Ltd. (Mokta) acquired a development license for the Moran Lake area and subsequently discovered uranium mineralization at Lady Lake, the site of the present C zone. In following years, Mokta completed a considerable amount of prospecting, trenching and packsack drilling in the Moran Lake A, B and C zones. In 1969 however, Mokta allowed the development license to expire at which time the license was granted to Brinex, which did no further work on the property.

In 1976, the license was granted to Commodore Mining Company Limited (Commodore) which in turn optioned the property to Shell Canada Resources Limited (Shell). During September of 1976, Shell performed geological, magnetometer and Track Etch surveys over the B zone near Henry Lake and did preliminary geological mapping on the C zone. This led to a 15 hole, 864 m drill program to test the B zone uranium mineralization during the winter of 1977.

In the summer of 1977, a full exploration program was carried out on the C zone including detailed geological mapping, systematic trench sampling, a scintillometer survey and a small drill program totalling eight holes and 497 metres. Uranium mineralization was discovered in a fault zone over which VLF-EM, magnetometer and Track Etch surveys were performed during September. In the winter of 1978, Shell completed a 17 hole, 1,542 m drill program to test the uraniferous fault zone and subsequently found high grade uranium mineralization. The following summer’s exploration program consisted of VLF- EM, magnetometer and altimeter surveys over the entire C zone, with a 15 hole, 1,581 m drill program to test the uraniferous zones. Low grade uranium mineralization was located in altered sandstones above the Aphebian-Helikian unconformity near Lady Lake. This led to a 1979 winter dril1 program of 17 drill holes totalling 1,193 m to explore the unconformity and the later named Lower C zone.

In the summer of 1979, Shell undertook a review of its Moran Lake project. Drill core from the Upper C zone (C-1 to C-35) was re-logged by one person and multiple samples were taken for thin section study and 30 element spectrographic analysis. This work led to the appreciation that the rocks were extensively altered, that the identification of primary lithologies was in many cases dubious, that the uranium mineralization was associated with alteration and that there was a definable geometry to the alteration package. The property was

18


considered to have good uranium potential and an 8 hole, 1,400 m drill program was proposed but never carried out as Shell abandoned its interest in the area.

Lewis Murphy acquired the Moran Lake claims in 2003 and optioned the ground to Crosshair in October of 2004. In 2003, an airborne gravity survey of the area located an interpreted 4 milligal to 8 milligal gravity anomaly, elliptical in shape, about 4 km long and centered between the Moran B and C zones. Considering the spatial association of uranium with brecciated, highly silicified, carbonatized and hematized rocks, plus locally significant concentrations of copper, silver and gold mineralization, Crosshair invoked the analogy with Iron Oxide Copper Gold (IOCG) deposit types, as at Olympic Dam in Australia.

Since acquiring the Moran Lake property in October, 2004, we have embarked on an aggressive program including airborne radiometric and magnetic surveys, compilation of previous work including sampling archived drill core from the 1970’s Shell Canada Resources drilling, and commencement of diamond drilling in January of 2006. A more detailed description of the exploration program is included below under “—Exploration.”

Property Geology

The Moran Lake Property was staked in a configuration to cover as much mineralized Paleoproterozoic stratigraphy as was available. This encompasses mostly rocks of the Moran Lake Group and the overlying Heggart Lake, Brown Lake and Sylvia Lake Formations of the Bruce River Group, both groups containing known occurrences of uranium, Cu, Pb, Zn, Ag, Fl and iron (as pyrite and hematite).

The Moran Lake Group (MLG) unconformably overlies Archean gneisses and granites of the Nain Province. The basal unit, the Warren creek Formation was deposited in a low energy, shallow shoreline or shelf environment and consists mainly of black graphitic, grey and green shale and siltstone containing local interbeds of dolostone, chert and black conglomerate with siltstone and shale clasts. The Warren Creek Formation ranges from perhaps 1,200m up to 3,000m in thickness and is overlain conformably by 100m to 300m thickness of the Joe Pond Formation, a sequence of light- to dark-green, fine grained, massive and pillowed basalt and mafic tuff with occasional interbeds of variably colored chert or grey dolostone. Rocks of the Moran Lake Group occupy a northeasterly trending belt which underlies the northern projection of the Moran Lake Property.

The Bruce River Group consists of a basal, polymictic conglomerate and sandstone of the Heggart Lake Formation overlain by polymictic conglomerate and tuffaceous sandstone of the Brown Lake Formation. The uppermost and thickest unit of the Group is the Sylvia Lake Formation, a bimodal, potassic calc-alkaline assemblage of predominantly subaerial volcanic rocks which are coeval with the plutons of the Trans Labrador Batholith. Northerly directed compression during the Grenville orogenic event folded the Bruce River Group into a northeast-trending, open, upright syncline.

Exploration

We acquired the property in October of 2004 and immediately launched a comprehensive review and compilation of all previous exploration carried out on the property. The results of the review confirmed that the property had considerable potential to host multiple uranium and uranium rich iron oxide copper gold deposits (IOCG).

Exploration work on the property by Crosshair has included line cutting, ground geophysical surveys, lake sediment sampling and till geochemical surveys, prospecting, limited hand trenching and geological mapping. The ground geophysical surveys include gravity, induced potential (IP), and horizontal loop EM (Max-Min) surveys. An airborne radiometric and magnetic survey totaling 7,312 line kilometers covering the entire property was carried out by Fugro Airborne Surveys in 2005. A supplemental airborne survey totaling 675 kilometers covering several claims acquired subsequent to the 2005 survey was carried out by Fugro in 2006. In 2007, a helicopter supported electromagnetic and magnetic (HeliGEOTEM) survey totaling approximately 4,500 line kilometers was carried out over 2 different blocks on the property. Follow-up of targets identified from interpretation of the various data has resulted in the discovery of several new showings and target areas, some of which have been drill tested as well as others that are being advanced to the drill ready stage.

19


A NI43-101 report was commissioned in 2007 and included a revised resource estimate for the Upper and Lower C-Zones based on our drilling to date as well as previous drilling carried out by Shell Canada Resources Limited. The estimate included an indicated resource in the Upper C-Zone of 3.19 million pounds U3O8 (3.75 million tonnes at 0.04%), as well as inferred resources of 4.59 million pounds U3O8 (6.32 million tonnes at 0.03%) in the Upper and Lower C-Zones.

Drilling

We launched our first drill program in February 2006, completing approximately 2,900 meters of drilling in 19 holes at the C-Zone. Further drilling using two drill rigs and totaling over 18,600 meters was carried out during the summer of 2006, followed by an additional 9,400 meters of drilling during the winter of 2007. The drilling programs focused on defining uranium mineralization at the C-Zone, which represents the most advanced uranium target on the property, but also tested targets at the B-Zone, Area 51, Moran Heights, Madsen Lake, and Area 1.

Our 2006 drill program totaled 21,486 meters and consisted of 137 holes, of which 58 tested the Upper C Zone and 10 tested the Lower C zone. The remainder of the holes tested seven other anomalies or showings on the property. From late January 2007 to late April of 2007, we carried out further drilling at the C Zone as well as limited drilling at the Armstrong and Dominion showings and Area 1. Total drilling in the winter 2007 amounted to 9,410 meters in 34 holes. At the C Zone, our 2007 winter drill program consisted of 8,211 meters in 26 holes. Fifteen of the holes tested both the Upper and Lower C Zone, 6 holes (1,042 meters) tested the Upper C Zone only, and 5 holes (1,166 meters) tested the Lower C Zone. The program expanded the C Zone mineralization along strike and to depth. The program also included the intersection of the thickest and highest grades of uranium reported from the Lower C Zone.

Significant results from the Phase 1 and 2 programs at the C-Zone include 6.03 meters grading 0.11% U3O8 in hole ML-09, 30.30 meters grading 0.13% U3O8 in hole ML-20, and 28.90 meters grading 0.14% U3O8 in hole ML-32. At the B-Zone, hole ML-BZ-01 returned 0.27% U3O8 over 7.56 meters, including 0.96% U3O8 over 1.26 meters. At Area 1, hole ML-A1-16 intersected 11.50 meters grading 0.11% U3O8. All zones of mineralization reported to date are open for extension.

A third drill rig was mobilized to the property during the summer of 2007 for the Phase 3 diamond drilling program. To date over 11,000 meters have been drilled as part of the Phase 3 program at the C-Zone, Area 1, and Croteau Lake. Preliminary assay results from the Phase 3 program have returned some of the best intercepts to date from the C-Zone, including hole ML-87 which graded 0.10% U3O8 over 45.7meters, and hole ML-90 which graded 0.10% U3O8 over 36.7 meters. We plan to continue drilling in 2007 with a focus on the Upper C Zone and a property wide total of 30,000 meters of drilling in all areas tested.

To date on the Moran Lake property, we have completed 136 drill holes at the C-Zone, 45 drill holes at Area 1, 12 drill holes at the B Zone, 2 holes at the Armstrong Showing, 4 holes at the Dominion Showing, 3 holes at Area 3 and 2 holes at Area 2 all located in the central portion of the Moran Lake property. Several other areas have also been drill tested, including Moran Heights (25 holes), Area 51 (13 holes), Croteau Lake (6 holes), and Madsen Lake (9 holes). All programs have been helicopter supported producing BTW size drill core.

Otter and Portage Lake Properties

On December 2, 2005, we entered into an agreement with a private company for an option to acquire a 100% interest (subject to a 1.5% NSR) in the Otter and Portage Lake properties totaling 56 claims. The new claims are located in the southern portion of the property, considered by our geological team as being highly prospective for Michelin or “shear zone type” uranium deposits. (Michelin is an advanced uranium project located 60 kilometers east-northeast of the Moran Lake property with inferred reserves of 32 million pounds of U3O8.) The Otter andPortage Lake properties host previously known uranium occurrences discovered in the 1950’s, but which have not been thoroughly explored. Surface sampling has returned up to 2% U3O8 from grab sampling along a four kilometer strike length of anomalous radioactivity. Geological mapping, rock sampling, as well as Alpha Track, till sampling and lake sediment surveys are being carried out in order to prioritize targets for diamond drilling in 2008. The option agreement calls for:

  On or before December 2, 2008 an additional   300,000        
    $ 600,000        

As at April 30, 2007, the Company incurred $208,765 in exploration expenditures, paid $55,000 in cash, and issued 125,000 common shares at a value of $291,750 for acquisition costs.

South Golden Promise (& Victoria Lake), Wings Point-Titan, Glenwood Break Properties

In February 2003, the Company entered into three option-JV agreements with Paragon Minerals (formerly Rubicon Minerals) to acquire three separate interests in up to 2,515 mineral claims in the Botwood Basin area of Central Newfoundland. The agreements cover three separate land packages known as “South Golden Promise”, “Wings Point-Titan” and “Glenwood Break”. The Company had the right to acquire a 60% interest in the properties by issuing up to 1,200,000 shares (400,000 for each property) and by incurring aggregate exploration expenditures of $5,250,000 (Glenwood Break - $2,000,000; Wings Point - $1,500,000; South Golden Promise - $1,750,000) within four years of September 2003.

Wings Point-Titan

The assay results received for Phase 2 program completed in spring 2005 were not significant enough to warrant further exploration on the property. At this time the Company has no further obligations in respect to this property and has accordingly written off a total of $374,522.

Glenwood Break Property

The Company elected to terminate the Glenwood Break option in the second quarter of 2006. At this time the Company has no further obligations in respect to this property and has accordingly written off a total of $884,096.

21


South Golden Promise (& Victoria Lake)

At April 30, 2007, the Company incurred $1,647,312 (net of $22,150 credits received) in exploration expenditures, issued 400,000 common shares at a value of $328,000 and paid cash to the vendor of $27,500, in relation to the South Golden Promise Project.

During the year ended April 30, 2007, the company advanced $370,000 to Paragon Minerals for Southern Golden Promise exploration costs and at April 30, 2007, Paragon Minerals had spent $562,482 on behalf of the Company. As a result the Company owes Paragon Minerals $192,482.

The first phase of reconnaissance drilling at Victoria Lake was very successful in outlining multiple horizons of strongly altered, sulphide-bearing felsic volcanic rocks that could host a significant precious-metal rich massive sulphide deposit. The encouraging results received from the widely spaced drilling are strongly suggestive of a proximal VHMS environment.

The 11 hole, 2198 meter program tested several precious metal-rich massive sulphide targets on four widely spaced grids underlain by highly prospective volcanic rocks similar to those hosting the nearby high grade Boomerang Cu-Pb-Zn massive sulphide deposit being explored by Messina Minerals.

North Paul’s Pond Gold Property

The assay results received for the diamond-drilling program completed in spring 2005, although locally anomalous, were not significant enough to warrant further exploration on the property. As a result the Company terminated its option on the North Paul’s Pond Gold property on June 22, 2005. At this time the Company has no further obligations in respect to this property and has accordingly written off a total of $139,754.

Utah

Sinbad claims

The Sinbad claims, located in Emery County, Utah, were transferred to the Company on January 17, 2006 for $4,125 and $11,724 was incurred in relation to geological work. The Company has recently entered into an agreement with Target Exploration & Mining Corp. (a related party by way of common directors with the Company) for the sale of the Sinbad claims for a cash payment in the amount of $31,698. The Company will retain a 2% net smelter royalty. Subsequently, this agreement was approved by the TSX Venture Exchange.

Liaoning Province, Northeast China

Beigou Gold Property

On September 16, 2004 the Company entered into a letter of intent with the Liaoning Non-ferrous Geological Bureau (the “Bureau”) in China for a formal joint venture of the Beigou Gold Project. On December 2, 2004, the Company announced the completion of a formal joint venture agreement with the Bureau following completion of a NI 43-101 report on the Beigou Gold project. The original agreement was amended and restated on April 18, 2005. The Company could earn an 80% interest in the Property by making exploration expenditures in the aggregate amount of US$3,500,000 and making cash payments to the Bureau in the amount of US$500,000, all over a five year period. A finder's fee of US$100,000, 1,000,000 common shares, and a 1% NSR, was to be paid to a third party over a five year period.

Based on the decision to concentrate its efforts in North America, on December 20, 2005 the Company decided not to continue with the Beijou Gold Property in China. At this time the Company has no further obligations in respect to this property and has accordingly written off a total of $229,935.

ITEM 5. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS

The following discussion for fiscal years 2007, 2006 and 2005 should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the referenced periods and the notes thereto, and in particular Note 13 related to Differences Between Canadian and United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, included in this Annual Report. Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP and reconciled to US GAAP. We are a Canadian company and therefore our financial statements have been prepared in Canadian dollars.

Overview

The Company is a mineral exploration company engaged in acquiring, exploring and developing mineral properties (primarily uranium, base and precious metals). The Company does not have any producing mineral properties at this time. The Company’s business is presently focused on the exploration and evaluation of various mineral deposits in North America. On February 10, 2006 the Company graduated to Tier 1 on the TSX Venture Exchange and as of May 2, 2007, the Company received approval to list its shares on the American Stock Exchange.

The Company is currently focusing its exploration activities on the following projects:

  • South Golden Promise (including South Golden Promise and Victoria Lake projects) and Golden Promise projects located in the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, acquired through option agreements with Paragon Minerals in February 2003 and May 2006.

  • Central Mineral Belt Project (including Moran Lake) located in Labrador, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada acquired through 2 separate option agreements in November 2004 and May 2007.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our accounting policies are described in Note 2 of the financial statements for the year ended April 30, 2007. We consider the following policies to be most critical in understanding our financial results:

Use of Estimates

Our management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect our reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On a regular basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Mineral Properties

Costs related to the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties are capitalized by property until the commencement of commercial production. If commercially profitable ore reserves are developed, capitalized costs of the related property are reclassified as mining assets and amortized using the unit of production method. If, after management review, it is determined that capitalized acquisition, exploration and development costs are not recoverable over the estimated economic life of the property, or the property is abandoned, or management deems there to be an impairment in value, the property is written down to its net realizable value.

Stock-Based Compensation

We have an employee stock option plan. We recognize an expense arising from stock options granted to both employees and non-employees using the fair value method. The fair value of option grants is generally established

23


at the date of grant using the Black Scholes option pricing model and the compensation amount, equal to the option’s fair value, is then recognized over the options vesting periods.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Costs associated with exit or disposal activities

In July 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146 “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities” (“FAS 146”). FAS 146 addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities, and is effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. FAS 146 nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3 (“EITF 94-3”) Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain costs Incurred in Restructuring). The principal difference between FAS 146 and EITF 94-3 relates to the recognition of a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity. FAS 146 requires that the cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred, whereas under EITF 94-3 the liability is recognized at the date of an entity’s commitment to an exit plan. This is substantially consistent with the CICA EIC Abstract 135, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit and Disposal Activities (including Costs Incurred in a Restructuring).” We are currently assessing the impact of FAS 146 and EIC Abstract 135 on our financial position and results of operations.

Guarantees

In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others”, which requires certain disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements for periods ending after December 15, 2002 about its obligations under guarantees. FIN 45 also requires the recognition of a liability by a guarantor at the inception of certain guarantees entered into or modified after December 31, 2003. FIN 45 requires the guarantor to recognize a liability for a non-contingent component of certain guarantees; that is, it requires the recognition of a liability for the obligation to stand ready to perform in the event that specified triggering events or conditions occur. The initial measurement of this liability is the fair value of a guarantee at inception. This is substantially consistent with the CICA Accounting Guideline AcG-14, Disclosure of Guarantees. We do not have any guarantees under these standards.

Variable interest entities

The FASB has published a revision to Interpretation 46 to clarify some of the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, and to exempt certain entities from its requirements. The additional guidance is being issued in response to input received from constituents regarding certain issues arising in implementing Interpretation 46.

Under the new guidance, special effective date provisions apply to enterprises that have fully or partially applied Interpretation 46 prior to issuance of this revised Interpretation. Otherwise application of Interpretation 46R (or Interpretation 46) is required in financial statements of public entities that have interests in securities that are commonly referred to as special-purpose entities for periods ending after December 15, 2003. Application by public entities, other than small business issuers, for all other types of variable interest entities is required in financial statements for periods ending after March 15, 2004. Application by small business issuers to variable interest entities other than special-purpose entities and by nonpublic entities to all types of variable interest entities is required at various dates in 2004 and 2005. In some instances enterprises have the option of applying or continuing to apply Interpretation 46 for a short period of time before applying this revised Interpretation. We do not have any interests in variable interest entities, under this standard.

Effective May 1, 2006, the beginning of the Company’s 2007 fiscal year, the Company decided to early adopt the following new accounting standards issued by the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA) relating to

24


financial instruments. These new standards have been adopted on a prospective basis with no restatement to prior period financial statements. The following summarizes the new accounting standards:

Financial Instruments and Comprehensive Income

These new recommendations of the CICA are for the accounting for comprehensive income (CICA Handbook Section 1530), and for the classification, recognition and measurement of financial instruments (CICA Handbook Section 3855) that apply to the Company – see note 2 to the audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended April 30, 2007. The concept of comprehensive income is to include unrealized changes in the value of financial instruments in shareholders’ equity under the heading “Accumulated other comprehensive income”. The policy’s most significant impact on the Company is with respect to the treatment of the Company’s marketable securities, which are now accounted for at fair value with gains and losses reported in the statement of operations. There were no other significant impacts on the Company’s’ financial statements as a result of these new recommendations.

Hedging (CICA Handbook Section 3865). This new standard specifies the circumstances under which hedge accounting is permissible and how hedge accounting may be performed. The Company currently does not have any hedges.

Accounting changes (CICA Handbook Section 1506). This standard allows for voluntary changes in accounting policy only when such changes enhance the relevance and reliability of the financial statements and the comparability of those financial statements over time and with the financial statements of other entities. The standard requires changes in accounting policy to be applied retrospectively unless doing so is impracticable, requires prior period errors to be corrected retrospectively and calls for enhanced disclosures about the effects of changes in accounting policies, estimates and errors on the financial statements.

Any impact that the adoption of Section 1506 will have on our results of operations and financial condition will depend on the nature of future accounting changes. Its adoption has had no impact on these financial statements. There was no effect on opening equity as of May 1, 2006 as a result of applying these new standards.

Effective for fiscal periods commencing January 1, 2008, the Company will adopt new CICA standards relating to capital disclosures and financial instruments disclosure and presentation, and, effective January 1, 2009, a standard relating to goodwill and intangible assets. The Company is currently assessing the impact of these new accounting standards on its financial statements.

Capital Disclosures (Section 1535). This standard establishes standards for the disclosure of (i) an entity’s objectives, policies and processes for managing capital; (ii) quantitative data about what the entity regards as capital; (iii) whether the entity has complied with any capital requirements and (iv) if it has not complied, the consequences of such non-compliance.

Financial Instruments Disclosures (Section 3862) and Financial Instruments – Presentation (Section 3863). These two standards replace the current standard “Financial Instruments – Disclosure and Presentation” (Section 3861), revising and enhancing its disclosure requirements, and carrying forward unchanged its presentation requirements. These new Sections place increased emphasis on disclosures about the nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments and how the entity manages those risks.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets (Section 3064). This new standard replaces the current standard for goodwill and intangible assets, Section 3062, and establishes revised standards for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of goodwill and intangible assets. The new standard also provides guidance for the treatment of preproduction and start-up costs and requires that these costs be expensed as incurred.

US GAAP Reconciliation

Under Canadian GAAP, it is acceptable to defer mineral property acquisition and exploration costs until a decision to abandon the property is made, it is determined that the property does not have economically recoverable reserves or that a company is unlikely to pursue exploration activities on the property. Under U.S. GAAP, mineral exploration costs are expensed until it can be proven that economically viable reserves are present on the property and a company has the ability and intention to pursue exploitation of these reserves.

Under Canadian GAAP, cash flows relating to mineral property exploration costs are reported as investing activities. For U.S. GAAP, these costs would be characterized as operating activities.

Under Canadian GAAP, future income taxes are calculated based on enacted or substantially enacted tax rates applicable to future years. Under U.S. GAAP, only enacted rates are used in the calculation of future income taxes. This GAAP difference did not result in a difference in our financial position, results of operations or cash flows for the years ended April 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005.

We have adopted the fair value based approach to Stock Based Compensation under the provisions of CICA 3870 and SFAS No. 148. The method of adoption applied by us is permissible under both Canadian and US standards.

5.A.       Operating Results

Results of Operations for the year ended April 30, 2007 compared to the year ended April 30, 2006

For the year ended April 30, 2007, we incurred a net loss of $5,533,011 ($0.09 per share) compared to a net loss of $2,175,473 ($0.05 per share) for the prior year. We had no operating revenue in either period. The loss is comprised of the general and administrative expenses of $6,584,203, of which $3,696,601 was for stock-based compensation (2006 – $2,410,229, of which $682,213 was for stock-based compensation) and property write-offs of $Nil (2006 - $1,518,429). Management fees and interest income of $385,287 (2006 - $245,065) and realized/unrealized gains on marketable securities of $665,905 (2006 - $Nil) offsets the operating loss.

In the year ended April 30, 2007 compared to the same period in the prior year, we increased our exploration, corporate and financing activities. For example there was an increase in exploration activities on the Moran Lake Property and Golden Promise Property and we hired and appointed new employees, officers, directors and contractors. The additional administration, accounting and management time was required as we increased our business activities. As a result, our operating expenses increased by $4,173,974 in the year ended April 30, 2007 compared to the same period of 2006. The major expense categories were conferences and exhibitions $99,448 (2006 - $Nil); insurance $35,897 (2006 - $Nil); investor relations expense $143,773 (2006 - $130,364); legal fees $212,486 (2006 - $100,700); office and administration $562,642 (2006 - $339,703); stock-based compensation $3,696,601 (2006 - $682,213); travel $306,978 (2006 - $165,538); and wages and salaries expense $923,743 (2006 - $41,441). 72% of this the increase in operating expenses is related to stock-based compensation expense.

Results of Operations for the year ended April 30, 2006 compared to the year ended April 30, 2005

For fiscal 2006, we incurred a net loss of $2,175,473 (loss per share - $0.05) compared to a net loss of $645,386 (loss per share - $0.03) for fiscal 2005. The loss is comprised of general and administrative expenses of $2,410,229 in fiscal 2006 compared to $1,243,921 in fiscal 2005, and property write-offs of $1,518,429 in fiscal 2006 compared to $188,988 in fiscal 2005. The net loss was offset by management and interest income of $245,065 in fiscal 2006 compared to $32,803 in fiscal 2005 and future income tax recoveries of $1,508,120 in fiscal 2006 compared to $754,720 in fiscal 2005.

In fiscal 2006 compared to fiscal 2005, we increased our exploration, corporate and financing activities such as exploring new properties such as the Moran Lake Property, hiring and appointing new officers, directors and contractors. The additional administration, accounting and management time was required as we became more active. As a result, our operating expenses increased by $1,166,308 in fiscal 2006 compared to fiscal 2005. The

26


major expense categories were stock-based compensation of $682,213 in fiscal 2006 compared to $316,521 in fiscal 2005; consulting fees of $244,534 in fiscal 2006 compared to $182,227 in fiscal 2005; directors fees of $63,000 in fiscal 2006 compared to $5,000 in fiscal 2005; management fees of $225,000 in fiscal 2006 compared to $158,931 in fiscal 2005; legal fees of $100,700 in fiscal 2006 compared to $79,300 in fiscal 2005; property investigations of $93,467 in fiscal 2006 compared to $28,776 in fiscal 2005; travel expenses of $165,538 in fiscal 2006 compared to $60,623 in fiscal 2005; and office and miscellaneous expenses of $339,703 in fiscal 2006 compared to $120,993 in fiscal 2005.

During the year ended April 30, 2007, we spent a total of $10,631,531 on our properties (including $242,500 paid in cash and $1,078,150 from the issuance of 445,000 common shares related to acquisition costs) compared to 2,954,385 incurred during the year ended April 30, 2006. During the year ended April 30, 2007, we had property write-offs totaling $Nil compared to $1,518,429 during the year ended April 30, 2006.

During fiscal 2006, we spent a total of $2,954,385 on our properties (including $317,000 acquisition costs paid by the issuance of 400,000 common shares and $390,368 in grant assistance received) compared to $1,755,334 (including 940,000 common shares at a value of $245,000 for property acquisition) incurred during fiscal 2005. During fiscal 2006, we had property write-offs totaling $1,518,429 compared to $188,988 during fiscal 2005.

During the second quarter of 2006, we elected to terminate our options in the Glenwood Break property and the Wings Point-Titan property and consequently mineral property costs of $884,096 and $374,522 were written off. In addition, during the second quarter of 2006, we received a total $68,019 of exploration grant assistance from the government for the Glenwood Break property and the Wings Point-Titan property. As a result of these two factors, the Glenwood Break property and the Wings Point-Titan property resulted in a negative $892,998 and $408,234 in exploration expenditures for fiscal 2006 shown in the table above.

27


Based on the decision to concentrate its efforts in North America, on December 20, 2005 the Company decided not to continue with the Beijou Gold Property in China. As a result $229,935 was written off in the third quarter of fiscal 2006.

5.B.       Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity – April 30, 2007, April 30, 2006 and April 30, 2005

We had cash on hand of $14,311,417, $13,947,976 and $4,746,707 as of April 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Our working capital was $15,390,704, $14,093,821 and $4,512,628 as of April 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. We currently have sufficient cash resources to meet our ongoing obligations as they become due.

Our major source of financing is from the sale of Common Shares, the exercise of stock options and warrants, if any. We have sufficient funds to meet our working capital requirements and property maintenance costs and to carry out some exploration of our mineral properties for the next 12 months. During that period the amount of funds available for exploration of our mineral properties and acquisition of additional mineral properties are dependent on whether and how much we can raise in additional equity financing.

Financings – Fiscal 2007

During February and March 2007, we raised approximately $7.9 million through the exercise of warrants and issuance of additional Common Shares. Warrants to purchase 5,028,750 Common Shares were exercised, raising approximately $7.2 million, and a total of 490,375 additional Common Shares were issued, raising approximately $700,000.

Financings – Fiscal 2006

On November 3, 2005, we closed a brokered private placement with Pacific International Securities (the “Agent”), which consists of 4,000,000 flow-through units (the “FT Units”) at a price of $1.00 per FT Unit for aggregate proceeds of $4,000,000 and 8,977,500 non-flow-through units (the “Common Share Units”) at a price of $0.80 per Common Share Unit for aggregate proceeds of $7,182,000. Each FT Unit is comprised of one flow-through common share and one-half of one transferable non-flow through share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share of the Company at a price of $1.75 per share until November 3, 2007. Each Common Share Unit is composed of one non-flow-through common share and one half of one transferable non-flow through share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share of the Company at a price of $1.25 per share until November 3, 2007.

The Agent was entitled to a commission of 7% of the gross proceeds of the placement, $460,547 of which was taken in cash and $322,193 in 402,741 Common Share Units. The Agent was also issued 1,297,750 compensation options equal to 10% of the number of units sold. Each compensation option entitles the Agent to acquire one Common Share Unit of the Company at an exercise price of $0.85 for a period of two years. All securities issued pursuant to this offering are subject to a four-month hold period commencing November 3, 2005.

Financings – Fiscal 2005

During the year ended April 30, 2005, we completed five financings:

On May 31, 2004, we completed a private placement of 4,080,000 flow-through shares at a price of $0.25 per share for gross proceeds of $1,020,000. The agent received an 8% commission of the gross proceeds and 326,400 broker’s warrants exercisable into common shares at $0.25 per share for a period of 12 months. The broker’s warrants were all exercised during the year ended April 30, 2005 and provided us with another $81,600. Share issue costs of $138,896 were incurred in relation to this private placement.

28


On November 26, 2004, we completed a non-brokered private placement of 1,525,000 units at a price of $0.25 per unit for gross proceeds of $381,250. Each unit is comprised of one common share and one non-transferable share purchase warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share at a price of $0.30 per share until November 27, 2005. The warrants contain a forced exercise provision. As of April 30, 2005, 20,000 warrants associated with this private placement were exercised. Share issue costs of $1,410 were incurred in relation to this private placement.

On December 14, 2004, we completed a non-brokered private placement of 2,750,000 units at a price of $0.40 per unit, for gross proceeds of $1,100,000. Each unit is comprised of one flow-through common share and one half of one non-transferable share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant is exercisable until December 14, 2005, and entitles the holder to purchase one common share at a price of $0.50 per share. We paid a finder’s fee equal to 7% of the aggregate gross proceeds raised from the private placement totaling 192,500 units. Each finder’s fee unit includes one common share and one share purchase warrant with the same terms. Share issue costs of $81,385 were incurred in relation to this private placement.

Each unit is comprised of one common share and one non-transferable share purchase warrant. The warrant entitles the holder to acquire one common share at a price of $0.40 per share until January 11, 2006. The warrants contain a forced exercise provision. In the event that the closing price our shares exceeds $0.60 per common share for 10 consecutive trading days after the four month hold period, the exercise period of the warrants will be shortened to a period of 30 days from the date that we provide written notice to the holders of the warrants of such an early expiry. Share issue costs of $2,240 were incurred in relation to this private placement.

On March 15, 2005, we completed a private placement of 5,622,220 units at a price of $0.45 per unit for aggregate gross proceed of $2,529,999. Each unit is comprised of one common share and one half of one transferable share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to acquire one common share at a price of $0.75 per share until March 15, 2007. We paid a commission equal to 7% of the aggregate gross proceeds raised from the private placement totalling $177,100, of which $91,210 was taken in cash and the remainder of $85,890 in 190,867 units with the same terms. Share issue costs of $273,561 were incurred in relation to this private placement. In addition, 562,222 compensation options were issued to the broker in connection with this private placement. Each compensation option is exercisable into a unit at a price of $0.50 per unit for a period of two years. Each unit consists of one common share and one half of one transferable share purchase warrant with the same terms.

Capital Resources

Our authorized capital consists of unlimited number of common shares without par value. At April 30, 2007, we had 70,912,072 issued and outstanding common shares compared to 58,356,045 at April 30, 2006, and at September 30, 2007, we had 71,740,789 issued and outstanding common shares.

We adopted a formal written stock option plan on July 26, 2004. Under this plan, we may grant options for up to 2,752,240 common shares to directors, employees, consultants and certain other service providers at exercise price to be determined by the Board by not less than closing market price on the date preceding the grant less 25% discount. Option shares are subject to the minimum vesting requirement, with 25% of the total number of the options granted to be released every 6 months from the date of grant. The options can be granted for a maximum term of 5 years. The Stock Option Plan was approved by the TSX Venture Exchange on September 21, 2004. On February 10, 2006 we amended the Stock Option Plan to grant options for up to 11,308,528 common shares in order to reflect our increased issued and outstanding capital. On July 9, 2007 we further amended the terms of the Stock Option Plan to allow for the extension of options by up to ten business days in the event that an option expires during a time when the Company’s directors, employees and consultants are subject to a Company imposed black out period.

During the year ended April 30, 2007, 2,672,764 stock options were exercised, 700,000 stock options were cancelled or expired and 5,990,000 stock options were granted. As at April 30, 2007 the Company had 8,981,984 (of which 2,753,484 were exercisable) options outstanding at exercise prices ranging from $0.25 per share to $3.10

29


per share with expiry dates ranging from November 2, 2007 to April 23, 2012. Subsequent to April 30, 2007, 80,000 stock options were cancelled, 118,250 stock options and 21,500 agent’s options were exercised for total proceeds of $76,775. If exercised, the remaining 8,762,234 stock options would increase the Company’s available cash by $14,013,731.

As at April 30, 2007, we had 380,244 warrants outstanding at an exercise price of $1.25 per share with an expiry date of November 3, 2007. If exercised, these remaining warrants would increase our available cash by $475,305.

Contributed surplus was $3,888,533 as at April 30, 2007 (April 30, 2006 - $1,188,003). The increase of $2,700,530 represents $3,696,601 of the fair value of the options released in the year ended April 30, 2007 less $996,071 of the fair value of stock options and warrants exercised. The fair value of the outstanding options and compensation options was calculated using the Black-Scholes method of valuation.

5.C.       Research and Development, Patents and Licenses, etc.

We are a mineral exploration company and do not engage in conventional research and development. We have not incurred research and development expenses or adopted research on development policies within the last three fiscal years.

5.D.       Trend Information

We are a mineral exploration company. Consequently, there is no production, sales, or inventory in the conventional sense. Our financial success will be dependent upon the extent to which we can discover mineralization and the economic viability of developing such properties. Such development, if initiated, may take years to complete and the amount of resulting income, if any, is difficult to determine with any certainty. We have no mineral reserves and to date have not produced any revenues. The sales value of any mineralization discovered by us is largely dependent upon factors beyond our control such as the market value of the metals produced.

Other than as disclosed herein, we are not aware of any trends, uncertainties, demands, commitments or events which are reasonably likely to have a material effect upon our net sales or revenues, income from continuing operations, profitability, liquidity or capital resources, or that would cause reported financial information not necessarily to be indicative of future operating results or financial condition.

The major factors that caused significant variations in net loss were the recording of stock based compensation when stock options were granted and the write-down of properties based on a periodic review of such properties, both of which have no identifiable trend.

We are an exploration stage junior exploration company. As such, we have historically operated without full-time employees and our corporate functions were primarily administered through private consulting companies owned by our current senior management. Our needs will be dependent upon our level of exploration programs and financial condition. In 2006, we began entering into employment agreements with our senior officers and currently have employment agreements with Messrs. Morabito, Pickett and McIntyre and Ms. Bolden. In addition, we entered into a consulting agreement with Douglas Brett and his affiliate for Mr. Brett to act as our Chief Financial Officer. See Item 6.B.

We have no formal measures in place to prevent a conflict of interest and independent directors are required to approve any transactions we complete with Target. All transactions with Target are disclosed as related party transactions and reviewed. We believe the transactions we have completed with Target have been fair to us and to our disinterested shareholders. Effective September 1, 2007, we entered into a cost sharing arrangement with Target whereby Target reimburses us for 30% of common operating expenditures including rent and salaries of certain employees who divide their time between Target and us.

Director Compensation

Directors are entitled to reimbursement for reasonable travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attendance at meetings of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may award special remuneration to any director undertaking any special services on our behalf other than services ordinarily required of a director. Due to the onerous amount of work associated with currently applicable securities legislation and ongoing compliance requirements, we have instituted a modest compensation plan for the non-management members of the Board of Directors, which commenced May 1, 2005. Under the compensation plan every director receives a monthly fee of $1,000 and an additional monthly fee of $500 in the event that the director serves on a committee. Directors’ fees may be deferred as appropriate based on our financial condition. We do not propose to pay or distribute any non-cash compensation during the current financial year, other than the possible grant of incentive stock options.

Stock Option Plan

We may grant stock options to directors, senior management and employees pursuant to our Amended Stock Option Plan dated July 9, 2007. Under the Amended Stock Option Plan, we may grant stock options to purchase up to a maximum of 11,308,528 Common Shares. During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2007, we granted stock options to purchase an aggregate of 5,990,000 Common Shares. During the year, stock options to purchase an aggregate of 2,672,764 Common Shares were exercised and stock options to purchase an aggregate of 700,000 Common Shares were cancelled.

Employment and Consulting Agreements

We have entered into employment agreements with Messrs. Morabito, Pickett and McIntyre and Ms. Bolden. Pursuant to the Agreements, the Company has agreed to pay a salary of $200,000 to Mr. Morabito, $100,000 to Mr. Pickett, $100,000 to Mr. McIntyre and $85,000 to Ms. Bolden. In addition, Messrs. Morabito and Pickett are eligible for bonuses in amounts not to exceed $200,000 and $50,000, respectively. The bonuses are to be paid in cash quarterly and the amounts will be determined in the discretion of the Company’s compensation committee. Ms. Bolden is also eligible for bonuses in an amount not to exceed $25,000 and Mr. McIntyre is eligible for bonuses in an amount up to 25% of his base salary. These bonuses will be paid in cash annually and the amounts will be determined in the Company’s discretion.

The agreements with Messrs. Morabito and Pickett and Ms. Bolden provide that they shall be provided with employee benefits comparable to those provided by the Company from time to time to other senior executives of the Company generally. The agreements with Messrs. Morabito, Pickett and McIntyre and Ms. Bolden provide for a grant of options to purchase 1,000,000, 50,000, 200,000 and 200,000 Common Shares, respectively, upon execution of the agreement and options to purchase 500,000, 100,000, 100,000 and 100,000Common Shares, respectively, on the first anniversary of the date of the initial grant and each anniversary thereafter. The initial options have an exercise price of $1.32, $1.56, $2.07 and $1.32 per Common Share, respectively, and the annual

36


options shall have an exercise price at the market price on the date they are granted. Mr. Morabito’s right to receive annual option grants is subject to the requirement that the aggregate number of incentive stock options held by Mr. Morabito at any given time not exceed 5% of the number of issued and outstanding Common Shares of the Company at such time. Mr. Pickett was also awarded a cash bonus of $20,000 and options to purchase 100,000 Common Shares upon his promotion to Vice President, Exploration, on August 14, 2007. Mr. Pickett’s options have an exercise price of $1.54 per Common Share and are subject to vesting over a two year period and will expire on August 14, 2012.

The employment agreements require the Company to pay severance to Messrs. Morabito and Froude and Ms. Bolden if it terminates their respective employment other than for “just cause” (as defined in the agreements) or if the respective employee resigns for “good reason” (as defined in the agreements). The severance payments will consist of either 24 months notice of termination or a lump sum payment equal to two times the employee’s annual salary, at the employee’s option, and continued participation in the annual option grants and benefit plans until the earliest of the expiration of the 24 month notice period and the death of the employee. Mr. McIntyre, upon termination without cause, would be entitled to six months’ notice or pay in lieu of notice equal to six months of base salary, or any combination thereof.

On August 1, 2007, we entered into an independent consulting services agreement (the “Consulting Agreement”) with Douglas R. Brett, Inc. (the “Contractor”) and Douglas R. Brett. Pursuant to the Consulting Agreement, we engaged the Contractor to provide financial services and appointed Mr. Brett as our Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Brett will personally provide to the Company such advisory and consulting services on behalf of the Contractor as the Company may request from time to time. According to the Consulting Agreement, Mr. Brett’s Services will require an average of between 40 and 60 hours of his time per month. In exchange for Mr. Brett’s services, the Company will pay to the Contractor $6,250 per month plus goods and services taxes. In addition, the Company agreed to grant to the Consultant options to acquire up to 200,000 Common Shares at a price per share equal to the prevailing fair market value, such options subject to the terms of the Company’s Stock Option Plan. The term of the Consulting Agreement shall automatically cease at 11:59 p.m. (Vancouver time) on August 1, 2008 (the “Term”), unless earlier terminated as hereinafter provided or unless the parties have agreed in writing to renew the Consulting Agreement. The Contractor and the Company each have the right to terminate the Consulting Agreement at any time by giving to the other party at least 30 days prior written notice of the effective date of such termination (the “Termination Date”). On the Termination Date, the Consultant will resign as Chief Financial Officer unless other arrangements are made.

Mr. Brett agreed to indemnify and save harmless the Company for any demonstrated losses, damages, costs or other amounts, including without limitation reasonable legal fees, suffered or incurred by the Company arising out of third party claims relating to his presence or activities or his representatives in performing the services to the extent that such losses, damages, costs or other amounts are caused by: any breach of Mr. Brett’s obligation to perform his services in full compliance with all applicable laws and consistent with a high degree of business ethics; and any negligence, wilful misconduct or fraud on the part of Mr. Brett in performing the services. Subject to Mr. Brett’s obligation to indemnify the Company as described above, and provided that Mr. Brett has not breached his obligation to perform his services in full compliance with all applicable laws and consistent with a high degree of business ethics, the Company agreed to indemnify and save harmless Mr. Brett for any demonstrated losses, damages, costs or other amounts, including without limitation reasonable legal fees, suffered or incurred by Mr. Brett arising out of third party claims relating to his presence or activities and/or his representatives in performing the services as would reasonably be the case for all directors and officers of the Company. In addition, the Company agreed that any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage currently in place or obtained in the future by the Company will also be extended to Mr. Brett without charge to either Mr. Brett or the Contractor.

Post Employment Compensation

No funds were set aside or accrued by us during Fiscal 2007 to provide pension, retirement or similar benefits for directors or senior management.

37


Other than as described above, we do not have any plans or arrangements in respect of remuneration received or that may be received by our executive officers to compensate such officers in the event of termination of employment (as a result of resignation, retirement, change of control) or a change of responsibilities following a change of control, where the value of such compensation would exceed US$60,000 per person.

ITEM 7. MAJOR SHAREHOLDERS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

7.A.       Major Shareholders

To the knowledge of management, other than the entities listed below, no person beneficially owns 5% or more of our issued and outstanding Common Shares:

    Number of    
Name   Common Shares   Percentage(1)
         
David W. Tice & Associates, LLC   4,216,200 (2)              5.9%
John Burbank   3,320,233 (3)              4.6
____________________
(1)

Based on 71,740,789 Common Shares outstanding as of September 30, 2007.

   
(2)

This information is based on an amendment to Schedule 13G filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 6, 2007, by David W. Tice & Associates, LLC and Prudent Bear Funds, Inc.

   
(3)

This information is based on an amendment to Schedule 13G filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 15, 2007 by Passport Global Master Fund SPC, Ltd,. Partners Group Alternative Strategies PCC Limited Gold Iota Cell, Passport Holdings, LLC, Passport Management, LLC, Passport Capital, LLC and John Burbank.

Based on a Schedule 13G filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 10, 2006, Goodman & Company as investment counsel and portfolio manager to various mutual funds and other clients, reported that it beneficially owned 6,607,400 Common Shares, including 1,087,500 common shares underlying warrants. An amendment to that Schedule 13G filed by Goodman & Company on September 11, 2006 reported that it had sold 3,955,000 Common Shares.

40


All of our shares, both issued and unissued, are common 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 our major shareholders.

On September 30, 2007, we had 71,740,789 common shares issued and outstanding to approximately 101 shareholders of record. We believe that the number of beneficial owners is substantially greater than the number of record holders because a portion of its outstanding common stock is held in broker “street names” for the benefit of individual investors or other nominees. Management believes that there are 23 stockholders of record that are U.S. persons, who own an aggregate of approximately 5.2% of our outstanding Common Shares. In addition to these record holders there may be more U.S. persons holding our Common Shares in “street” name.

We are a publicly owned Canadian corporation, with shareholders in Canada, the United States and other foreign jurisdictions. We are not controlled by any foreign government or other person. There are no arrangements that would result in a change of control of the Company.

7.B.       Related Party Transactions

Amounts payable to related parties have no specific terms of repayment, are unsecured, and have no interest rate.

The amounts charged to the Company for the services provided have been determined by negotiation among the parties and are covered by signed agreements.

These transactions were incurred in the normal course of operations and, in management’s opinion, were undertaken with the same terms and conditions as transactions with unrelated parties.

To the Shareholders of

We have audited the balance sheets of Crosshair Exploration & Mining Corp. as at April 30, 2007 and 2006 and the statements of operations, shareholders' equity and cash flows for the years ended April 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.

In our opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at April 30, 2007 and 2006 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years ended April 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005 in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Expressed in Canadian dollars)
 

1.

NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS

   

Crosshair Exploration & Mining Corp. (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of British Columbia on September 2, 1966. Its principal business activities are the exploration and development of resource properties. All of the Company’s resource properties are located in North America.

   

The Company is in the process of acquiring, exploring and developing its resource properties and has not yet determined whether the properties contain ore reserves that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of the amounts shown for resource properties and related deferred exploration costs are dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete the development of those reserves and upon future profitable production.

   

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities during the normal course of business as they come due.

   

At April 30, 2007, the company has working capital of $15,390,704 and has remaining commitments to spend approximately $1,036,000 on its mineral properties before April 30, 2008. The funds required to continue operations and exploration activities during this period have been financed primarily from the issue of equity. Management believes that the successful financings over the last three years have mitigated the adverse conditions which raised substantial doubt on the Company's going concern.

   

Management estimates that these funds will be sufficient to meet the company's obligations and capital expenditure plans for the coming year. The company's ability to continue as a going concern, and the recoverability of its mineral properties and equipment, is dependent on its ability to fund its exploration programs and reach profitable operations. These financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported expenses and balance sheet classifications that would be necessary should the going concern assumption be inappropriate, and these adjustments could be material.

   

All amounts are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

   

Financial Instruments - Changes in Accounting Policies

   

Effective May 1, 2006, the Company decided to early adopt the following new accounting standards issued by the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA) relating to financial instruments. These new standards have been adopted on a prospective basis with no restatement to prior period financial statements.

   

Financial Instruments-Recognition and Measurement (Section 3855)

   

These standards set out criteria for the recognition and measurement of financial instruments for fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2006. This standard requires all financial instruments within its scope, including derivatives, to be included on a Company’s balance sheet and measured either at fair value or, in certain circumstances when fair value may not be considered most relevant, at cost or amortized cost. Changes in fair value are to be recognized in the statements of operations and comprehensive income.

   

All financial assets and liabilities are recognized when the entity becomes a party to the contract creating the item. As such, any of the Company’s outstanding financial assets and liabilities at the effective date of adoption are recognized and measured in accordance with the new requirements as if these requirements had always been in effect. Any changes to the fair values of assets and liabilities prior to February 1, 2007, are recognized by adjusting opening deficit or opening accumulated other comprehensive income.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d…)

   

All financial instruments are classified into one of the following five categories: held for trading, held-to-maturity, loans and receivables, available-for-sale financial assets, or other financial liabilities. Initial and subsequent measurement and recognition of changes in the value of financial instruments depend on their initial classification:

 

 

•    Held for trading financial instruments are measured at fair value. All gains and losses are included in net earnings in the period in which they arise.

•    Held-to-maturity investments, loans and receivables, and other financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost. Amortization of premiums or discounts and losses due to impairment are included in current period net earnings.

•    Available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value. Revaluation gains and losses are included in other comprehensive income until the asset is removed from the balance sheet.

•    All derivative financial instruments are classified as held for trading financial instruments and are measured at fair value, even when they are part of a hedging relationship. All gains and losses are included in net earnings in the period in which they arise.

 

 

In accordance with this new standard, the Company has classified its financial instruments as follows:

 

 

Cash and cash equivalents, and marketable securities are classified as held-for-trading; receivables are classified as loans and accounts payable are classified as other financial liabilities. All are measured at fair value and gains and losses are included in net earnings in the period in which they arise. Cash and cash equivalents are exposed to credit risk and these amounts are placed with major Canadian banks. The Company is not exposed to interest rate risk due to the short term maturity of the financial instruments.

   

Hedging (Section 3865)

   

This new standard specifies the circumstances under which hedge accounting is permissible and how hedge accounting may be performed. The Company currently does not have any hedges.

   

Comprehensive Income (Section 1530)

   

Comprehensive income is the change in shareholders’ equity during a period from transactions and other events from non-owner sources. This standard requires certain gains and losses that would otherwise be recorded as part of net earnings to be presented in other “comprehensive income” until it is considered appropriate to recognize into net earnings. This standard requires the presentation of comprehensive income, and its components in a separate financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as the other financial statements.

   

There was no effect on opening equity as of May 1, 2006, as a result of applying these new standards.

   

Accounting Changes (Section 1506)

   

This standard allows for voluntary changes in accounting policy only when such changes enhance the relevance and reliability of the financial statements, and the comparability of those financial statements over time and with the financial statements of other entities. The standard requires changes in accounting policy to be applied retrospectively unless doing so is impracticable, requires prior period errors to be corrected retrospectively and calls for enhanced disclosures about the effects of changes in accounting policies, estimates and errors on the financial statements.

   

Any impact that the adoption of Section 1506 will have on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition will depend on the nature of future accounting changes. Its adoption has had no impact on these financial statements.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d…)

   

Use of estimates

   

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

   

Cash and cash equivalents

   

The Company considers cash and cash equivalents to include cash on deposit and highly liquid short-term interest bearing variable rate investments. Interest earned is recognized immediately in operations.

   

Marketable securities

   

The Company accounts for its marketable securities at fair market value with gains and losses included in the statement of operations.

   

Receivables

   

Receivables are reported at face value less any provisions for uncollectible accounts considered necessary.

   

Equipment

   

Equipment is recorded at cost. The equipment noted below is amortized over its useful lives using the following annual rates and methods:


Computer hardware 30% Declining balance
Computer software 45% Declining balance
Exploration equipment 20% Declining balance
Furniture and fixtures 20% Declining balance
Office equipment 30% Declining balance

Mineral properties

Costs related to the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties are capitalized by property until the commencement of commercial production. If commercially profitable ore reserves are developed, capitalized costs of the related property are reclassified as mining assets and amortized using the unit of production method. If, after management review, it is determined that capitalized acquisition, exploration and development costs are not recoverable over the estimated economic life of the property, or the property is abandoned, or management deems there to be an impairment in value, the property is written down to its net realizable value.

Any option payments received by the Company from third parties or tax credits refundable by the Government of Newfoundland are credited to the capitalized cost of the mineral property. If payments received exceed the capitalized cost of the mineral property, the excess is recognized as income in the year received.

The amounts shown for mineral properties do not necessarily represent present or future values. Their recoverability is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the development, and future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition thereof.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d…)

   

Asset retirement obligations

   

The Company recognizes the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the year in which it is incurred when a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The carrying amount of the related long-lived asset is increased by the same amount as the liability. The Company does not have any significant asset retirement obligations.

   

Flow-through shares

   

Canadian tax legislation permits a company to issue flow-through shares whereby the deduction for tax purposes relating to qualified resource expenditures is claimed by the investors rather than the Company. Recording these expenditures for accounting purposes gives rise to taxable temporary differences.

   

Effective March 19, 2004, the Emerging Issues Committee of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants requires, where it is more likely than not, that when flow-through expenditures are renounced, a portion of the future income tax assets that were not recognized in previous years, due to the recording of a valuation allowance, be recognized as recovery of income taxes in the statement of operations.

   

Loss per share

   

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the loss for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

   

For diluted per share computations, assumptions are made regarding potential common shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of common shares is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would be outstanding if, at the beginning of the period, or at time of issuance, if later, all options and warrants are exercised. Proceeds from exercise are used to purchase the Company’s common shares at their average market price during the period, thereby reducing the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. If these computations prove to be anti-dilutive, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share.

   

Stock-based compensation

   

The Company has an employee stock option plan. The Company recognizes an expense arising from stock options granted to both employees and non-employees using the fair value method. The fair value of option grants is generally established at the date of grant using the Black Scholes option pricing model and the compensation amount, equal to the option’s fair value, is then recognized over the options vesting periods.

   

Income taxes

   

Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method. Under this method of tax allocation, future tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases (“temporary differences”) and losses carried forward. Future income tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences are likely to reverse. The effect on future tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the date of enactment or substantive enactment. The amount of future income tax assets recognized is limited to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.

e)      SOUTHERN GOLDEN PROMISE (VICTORIA LAKE), WINGS POINT – TITAN, GLENWOOD BREAK PROPERTIES

During February 2003, the Company entered into three separate option-JV agreements with Paragon Minerals Corporation (“Paragon”) (formerly Rubicon Minerals Corporation) to acquire a 60% interest in mineral claims located in the Botwood Basin area of Central Newfoundland covering three separate land packages known as Southern Golden Promise, Wings Point – Titan, and Glenwood Break. The Company was able to earn its 60% interest in the properties by issuing up to 400,000 shares for each property and incurring $5,250,000 in exploration, both spread over a four year period with each period ending September 30, with a minimum $750,000 during the first year, $1,200,000 during the second year, and the remainder over the third and fourth years; with 60% of the expenditures to target on diamond drilling.

On September 7 and September 22, 2005, the Company elected to terminate its options on the Wings Point-Titan property and the Glenwood Break property, respectively, and returned the properties to Paragon Minerals Corporation. As a result, the Company has no further obligations and the related mineral properties costs of $1,258,618 were written-off in the second quarter of 2006.

At April 30, 2007, the Company incurred $1,647,312 (net of $22,150 credits received) in exploration expenditures, issued 400,000 common shares at a value of $328,000 and paid cash to the vendor of $27,500, in relation to the Southern Golden Promise Property.

During the year ended April 30, 2007, the company advanced $370,000 to Paragon for Southern Golden Promise exploration costs and at April 30, 2007, Rubicon had spent $562,482 on behalf of the Company. As a result the Company owes Paragon $192,482.

f)      BEIGOU GOLD PROPERTY

On September 16, 2004 the Company announced that it had entered into a letter of intent with the Liaoning Non-ferrous Geological Bureau (the “Bureau”) in China for a formal joint venture of the Beigou Gold Project.

The Company can earn up to a 80% interest in the Property by making exploration expenditures in the aggregate amount of US$3,500,000 and making cash payments to the Bureau in the amount of US$500,000, all over a five year period. A finder's fee of US$100,000, 1,000,000 common shares, and a 1% NSR, was to be paid to a third party over the five year period as the Company makes the exploration expenditures in the joint venture agreement.

Based on the decision to concentrate its efforts in North America, on December 20, 2005 the Company decided not to continue with the Beijou Gold Property in China. As a result $229,935 was written-off in the third quarter of 2006 and the Company has no further obligations in respect to this property.

Stock-based compensation

   

The Company recognizes compensation expense for all stock options granted using the fair value based method of accounting. The fair value of the options vested in the year ended April 30, 2007 totaled $3,696,601. The weighted average fair value of options granted in the year was $2.16 (April 30, 2006 - $0.91, April 30, 2005 - $0.39).

   

The following weighted average assumptions were used for the Black-Scholes method of valuation of stock options granted during the years:


    April 30, April 30, April 30,
    2007 2006 2005
         
  Risk-free interest rate 3.79% 3.70% 2.85%
  Expected life of options 5 years 5 years 5 years
  Annualized volatility 239% 140% 130%
  Dividend rate 0% 0% 0%
         

Escrow shares

   

At April 30, 2007, a total of 140,625 (April 30, 2006 – 281,250; April 30, 2005 – 562,500) shares were held in escrow. No expense was recognized for the release of these shares as the release is not considered compensatory.

   

These shares were originally placed in escrow as an incentive for management to reorganize the Company. The release of these shares from escrow is subject to certain performance conditions and to the direction and determination of the TSX Venture Exchange. The performance conditions state that the shares may be released from escrow on the basis of 15% of the original number for every $100,000 expended on exploration and development of a resource property calculated proportionately after the first $100,000 expenditure. If the performance conditions are not met by February 14, 2010, the shares will be returned and cancelled.

Mineral property interests and deferred exploration costs

In accordance with EITF 04-02, the Company classifies the costs of acquiring its mineral interests as tangible assets resulting in no difference between Canadian and U.S GAAP. Under U.S. GAAP exploration costs on mineral properties, other than acquisition costs, prior to the establishment of proven or probable reserves are expensed as incurred. Under Canadian GAAP these costs may be deferred.

Under US GAAP, the Company performs evaluations of its investment in mineral properties to assess the recoverability and the residual value of its investments in these assets. All mineral properties are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances change which indicates the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable, utilizing established guidelines based on undiscounted future net cash flows from the asset or upon the determination that certain exploration properties do not have sufficient potential for economic mineralization.

Flow-through shares

   

Under Canadian income tax legislation, the Company is permitted to issue shares whereby the Company agrees to incur qualifying expenditures (as defined under the Income Tax Act of Canada) and renounce the related income tax deductions to the investors. Under Canadian GAAP, flow-through shares are accounted for as part of the issuance of capital stock at the price paid for the shares, net of any future income tax liability. Under United States GAAP, any difference between the market price of the Company's stock and the fair value of the flow-through shares must be recorded as a liability if a premium is paid by investors or as an asset if investors are purchasing the shares at a discount. The asset or liability is charged to income as the flow-through share proceeds are expended on qualifying expenditures.

   

During the year the Company did not issue any flow-through shares and accordingly there was no difference between Canadian and United States GAAP.

   

During the year ended April 30, 2006, the Company issued 4,000,000 flow-through shares for total proceeds of $4,000,000. As the market price of the Company’s stock was less than the fair value of the flow-through shares issued, a premium of $398,454 has been recorded for the expended cash on qualifying expenditures and a flow- through share liability of $401,546 was recorded for the unexpended amount as of April 30, 2006. During the year ended April 30, 2005, the Company issued 6,830,000 flow-through shares for total proceeds of $2,120,000. As the market price of the Company’s stock was less than the fair value of the flow-through shares issued, a premium of $124,940 was recorded for the expended cash on qualifying transactions and a flow-through share liability of $93,260 for the unexpended amount as of April 30, 2005.

   

Loss per share

   

Under both Canadian and United States generally accepted accounting principles basic loss per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year.

   

Under United States generally accepted accounting principles, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding excludes any shares held in escrow for which the release is subject to certain performance conditions. The weighted average number of shares outstanding under United States generally accepted accounting principles for the years ended April 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005 were 62,293,444, 46,983,232, and 24,114,631 respectively.

New accounting pronouncements

   

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting and reporting for uncertainties in income tax law. FIN 48 prescribes a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of FIN 48 is not anticipated to have an impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

   

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. SFAS No. 157 establishes a framework for measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities. This framework is intended to provide increased consistency in how fair value determinations are made under various existing accounting standards which permit, or in some cases require, estimates of fair market value. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier application is encouraged, provided that the reporting entity has not yet issued financial statements for that fiscal year, including any financial statements for an interim period within that fiscal year. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 157 the Company’s financial position and results of operations, but does not anticipate a material impact.

   

In February, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 159 on our financial position and results of operations, but are does not anticipate a material impact.
