MIDWAY GOLD CORP.

(an exploration stage company)

Notes to Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

For the three month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008

(expressed in Canadian dollars) (Unaudited)

1.

Nature of operations:

Midway Gold Corp. (the “Company” or “Midway”) was incorporated on May 14, 1996 under the laws of the Province of British Columbia and its principal business activities are the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties.

The Company is in the process of exploring and developing its mineral properties and has not yet determined whether its mineral properties contain ore reserves that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of amounts shown for mineral properties is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable ore reserves in its mineral properties, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete development, confirmation of the Company’s interest in the underlying mineral claims and upon future profitable production from or proceeds from the disposition of its mineral properties.

Going concern uncertainty

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of its assets and the settlement of its liabilities in the normal course of operations.  The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is uncertain and dependent upon obtaining the financing necessary to meet its financial commitments and to complete the development of its properties and/or realizing proceeds from the sale of one or more of the properties.  The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, confirmation of the Company’s interests in the underlying properties, and the attainment of profitable operations. As at March 31, 2009, the Company had cash of $1,476,540, working capital of $475,200, and has accumulated losses of $54,367,638since inception. 

Subsequent to March 31, 2009 and by May 8, 2009 all of the 12,500,000 share purchase warrants had been exercised for proceeds of $3,500,000 of which $2,870,000 has been received and $630,000 is in transit. By May 8, 2009 the Company had paid the $1 million promissory note together with interest of $24,101 accrued to the date of payment.  With this infusion of cash management anticipates that the Company now has sufficient funds to meet planned expenditures over the next twelve months.  

2.

Significant accounting policies and change in accounting policy:

These consolidated interim financial statements for the Company have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”).  They do not include all of the information and disclosures required by US GAAP for annual financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation have been included in these financial statements.   The interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements including the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2008 which may be found on the Company’s profile on SEDAR and EDGAR.

The accounting policies followed by the Company are set out in note 2 to the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 and have been consistently followed in the preparation of these consolidated interim financial statements, except as follows:

Recent United States Accounting Pronouncements:

In May 2008, the FASB issued Statement No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles,” (“SFAS 162”) which identifies the sources of accounting principles and the accounting framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of non-governmental entities that are presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). SFAS 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with GAAP.” The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 162 to

Notes to Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

For the three month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008

(expressed in Canadian dollars) (Unaudited)

have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 intends to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS 161 also requires disclosure about an entity’s strategy and objectives for using derivatives, the fair values of derivative instruments and their related gains and losses. SFAS 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, and is applicable to the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009. The adoption of SFAS 161 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“FAS 141R”), which replaces FAS 141 and SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements”, an amendment of ARB No. 51 (“FAS 160”). FAS 141R establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer in a business combination recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any controlling interest; recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. FAS 160 requires retroactive adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority interests. FAS 141R and FAS 160 shall be applied prospectively on or after an entity’s fiscal year that begins on or after December 15, 2008. FAS 141R and FAS 160 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

3.

Fair Value Measurements:

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”), clarifies the definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands the disclosures on fair value measurements. We have adopted SFAS 157 and FASB Staff Position FAS 157-2: Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157 effective January 1, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 157 for financial instruments as required at January 1, 2008 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements; however, we are required to provide additional disclosure as part of our consolidated financial statements. We adopted SFAS 157 for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities on January 1, 2009 as required and the provisions did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

SFAS 157 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and  Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

The valuation of investments in marketable securities include available for sale securities.  The Company’s Level 1 assets include the valuation of the common shares available for sale with no trading restrictions as determined using a market approach based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets in an active market.   Level 1 assets also include the valuation of warrants that are considered derivatives and are marked to market each reporting period based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets in active markets.  The Company’s Level 2 assets include the valuation of common shares with trading restrictions that will be removed within one year of the financial period reporting date as determined using a market approach and based upon quoted prices for identical assets in an active market adjusted by a discount to market comparable to the discount allowed by the TSX Venture Stock Exchange for private placements.  

The determination of fair value for financial reporting purposes as at March 31, 2009 and utilizing the applicable framework is as follows:

The 1,000,000 common share purchase warrants entitle the Company to purchase one common share of Rye Patch at an exercise price of $1.00 until September 28, 2009.  Warrants are considered derivatives thus are marked to market each reporting period with gains or losses recorded in the Statement of Operations.

During the period ended March 31, 2009, the Company realized a loss of $14,747 on the sale of 985,500 common shares of Rye Patch for proceeds of $133,078.   The Company recognized in earnings an impairment on the common shares of $7,770 of Rye Patch for the difference in the fair value at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008.  The Company considers that the decline in market value of this investment meets the characteristics of an “other than

Spring Valley property, Nevada:

On March 9, 2009 the Company signed an exploration and option to joint venture agreement with Barrick Gold Exploration Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Barrick Gold Corporation, on the Spring Valley gold project that superseded a term sheet executed on October 17, 2008.  Barrick is granted the exclusive right to earn a 60% interest in the project by spending US$30,000,000 on the property (US$4,000,000 guaranteed in the first year) over five years. Barrick may increase its interest by 10% (70% total) by spending an additional US$8,000,000 in the year immediately after vesting at 60%. At the Company’s election, Barrick may also earn an additional 5% (75% total) by carrying the Company to a production decision and arranging financing for the Company’s share of mine construction expenses with the carrying and financing costs plus interest to be recouped by Barrick once production has been established. The Company will coordinate geologic and administrative activities under the direction of Barrick, billing monthly at cost plus an administrative fee of 5%.   

At March 31, 2009 the Company had an amounts receivable of $145,433 for recoverable salaries and expenses from Barrick for the Spring Valley project.  This balance was paid subsequent to March 31, 2009.

The intrinsic value of stock options outstanding at March 31, 2009 related to vested options was $nil.  Intrinsic value for vested stock options is calculated on the difference between the exercise prices of the underlying options and the quoted price of $0.56 for our common stock as of March 31, 2009.

At March 31, 2009 all but 1,293,333of the 4,052,500 stock options outstanding were exercisable.

The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $393,870 in the three months ended March 31, 2009 (March 31, 2008 - $142,005) for options vesting in that period of which $291,807 (March 31, 2008 - $65,467) was included in salaries and benefits in the statement of operations and $102,063 (March 31, 2008 - $76,538) was included in salaries and labour in the schedule of mineral exploration expenditures.  There is a balance of $254,695that will be recognized in fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2010 as the options vest.

The Company uses the simplified method to estimate the expected life of stock options because there is not enough historical share option exercise experience upon which to estimate expected terms with any greater degree of certainty.  The simplified method is the average of the vesting term and the contract life. The $0.33 fair value of each stock option grant in the three months ended March 31, 2009 was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: expected life of 3 years; volatility of 93.74%; no dividend yield; and a risk free interest rate of 1.38%.

Item 2.  

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report filed on Form 10-Q.  This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions.  Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth under “Risk Factors and Uncertainties” and elsewhere in this report.

This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related notes. The discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations are based upon the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires Midway to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of any contingent liabilities at the financial statement date and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis Midway reviews its estimates and assumptions. The estimates were based on historical experience and other assumptions that Midway believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results are likely to differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions, but Midway does not believe such differences will materially affect our financial position or results of operations. Critical accounting policies, the policies Midway believes are most important to the presentation of its financial statements and require the most difficult, subjective and complex judgments, are outlined below in “Critical Accounting Policies,” and have not changed significantly.

In addition, certain statements made in this report may constitute “forward-looking statements”. These forward-looking statements involve known or unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance, or achievements of Midway to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Except for historical information, the matters set forth herein, which are forward-looking statements, involve certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ. Potential risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, unexpected changes in business and economic conditions;  significant increases or decreases in gold prices; changes in interest and currency exchange rates;  unanticipated grade changes; metallurgy, processing, access, availability of materials, equipment, supplies and water; determination of reserves; results of current and future exploration activities; results of pending and future feasibility studies; joint venture relationships; political or economic instability, either globally or in the countries in which we operate; local and community impacts and issues; timing of receipt of government approvals; accidents and labor disputes; environmental costs and risks; competitive factors, including competition for property acquisitions; and availability of external financing at reasonable rates or at all.  Forward- looking statements can be identified by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continues” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Although Midway believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, it cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements.

Midway’s Nevada Properties

Humboldt Gold Trend

Spring Valley Property, Pershing County, Nevada

The Spring Valley project is located 20 miles northeast of Lovelock and approximately 3 miles north of the Coeur Rochester Open Pit Mine. Spring Valley is a diatreme/porphyry hosted gold system, and located on the Humboldt Gold Trend.  

On March 2, 2009 the Company announced an updated mineral resource estimate of 87,750,000 tons grading 0.021 opt containing 1,835,615 ounces of gold at a cut-off grade of 0.006 opt using a $715 Lerchs-Grossman Optimization Shell.  This updated estimate represents an 85% increase in contained gold at Spring Valley and includes drilling completed through end of 2008.  The new resource incorporates portions of the West Diatreme, North Hill and newly discovered Big Leap zones that were not included in the last resources estimate prepared by AMEC at December 15, 2007. Gold mineralization remains open for expansion to the north, south, and at depth.

This resource estimate is in compliance with Canada’s NI 43-101 and in accordance with CIM Definition Standards for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves.  It was conducted under the supervision of Eric LeLacheur (CPG), Spring Valley Project Manager, and Don Harris (M.Sc., CPG), Vice President-Advanced Projects (Midway), who are the Qualified Persons responsible for the resource.

Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors – In this Quarterly Report we use the terms “mineral resource”, “measured mineral resource”, “indicated mineral resource” and “inferred mineral resource”, which are geological and mining terms as defined in accordance with NI 43-101 under the guidelines adopted by CIM, as CIM Standards in Mineral Resources and Reserve Definition and Guidelines adopted by the CIM. US investors in particular are advised to read carefully the definitions of these terms as well as the “Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors Regarding Reserve and Resource Estimates” above.

The current resource estimate includes drill results from 450 holes up to December 31, 2008 at Spring Valley in the Pond, Sill, Porphyry, Valley Breccia, North Hill, West Diatreme, and Big Leap Zones.  Mineralized domains were established by interpretation of geological, structural and assay information on sections. Assays within the domains were composited into 10 foot intervals. Search distances and directions were established using spherical variograms on the composites within the domains. A capping threshold of 1.00 opt gold was utilized, and assays greater than 1.00 opt gold were set to 1.00 opt gold. This cap is slightly lower than that used by AMEC. Higher grade composites between 0.25 and 1.0 opt were given a restricted range of 100 feet to limit high grade influences. A density of 12.6 cubic feet per short ton was applied to all bedrock material, and 14.0 cubic feet per short ton was applied to alluvium overburden. A three dimensional block model was generated using Surpac^®, a commercially available mine planning software package. Composited assays were used to estimate tons and gold grades within domains using an inverse distance cubed (ID3) estimation method. Resources reported are included within a Lerchs-Grossmann (L-G) optimization shell using a $715 per ounce gold price.  The L-G shell is an economic test that simulates a break even pit using current mining costs.  

The Company expended $94,315 on the Spring Valley project in the three months ended March 31, 2009 which includes $35,349 of legal costs incurred to finalize the agreement with Barrick and other matters related to the project.  As discussed below the Company expended and recovered an additional $145,433 on the Spring Valley Project from Barrick.

24

A Technical Report by Midway supporting disclosure of this mineral resource was filed on the Company’s profile on www.sedar.com on March 30, 2009.  The Technical Report updates the project as of December 31, 2008, and outlines work on the resource and progress to date.

Exploration, Development and Mine Operating Agreement

On March 10, 2009, Midway, through its wholly-owned subsidiary MGC Resources Inc., executed an Exploration, Development and Mine Operating Agreement, effective March 9, 2009 (the “EDM Agreement”), with Barrick Gold Exploration Inc. (“Barrick”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Barrick Gold Corporation, regarding the exploration, development and possible joint venture of Midway’s Spring Valley Gold Project in Pershing County, Nevada (the “Project”).

Exploration Period

Under the terms of the EDM Agreement, MGC granted to Barrick the exclusive right to explore and develop the Project. During this exploration period, Barrick has the exclusive right to earn a 60% interest in the Project by spending US$30,000,000 on the property (US$4,000,000 guaranteed in the first year ending December 31, 2009) over a five-year period ending December 31, 2013. During this five-year period, outside of the mandatory first year expenditure, Barrick shall have the sole right to determine the nature, scope, extent and method of all operations in relation to the property, without having to consult or gain the approval of the Midway. Barrick will be required to provide Midway with certain information and reports and access to the Project to conduct inspections of operations during this period.

After vesting at 60%, Barrick may increase its interest by 10% (70% total) by spending an additional US$8,000,000 on or before December 31, 2014.   At Midway’s election, Barrick may also earn an additional 5% (75% total) by carrying Midway to a production decision and arranging financing for Midway’s share of mine construction expenses with the carrying and financing costs plus interest to be recouped by Barrick once production has been established.

Midway is coordinating geologic and administrative activities during the earn-in period for a negotiated administrative fee.

Joint Venture

Under the terms of the EDM Agreement, Midway shall have a period of 120 days from the last of the following events to occur to elect to enter into a joint venture agreement with Barrick with respect to the Project: (i) upon receipt of notice from Barrick that it has not elected to earn the additional 10% interest by spending an additional US$8,000,000; (ii) upon receipt of notice from Barrick that it has timely incurred the additional US$8,000,000 expenditure on the Project to earn the additional 10% interest; (iii) upon receipt of notice from Barrick that it has elected but failed to timely incur the additional US$8,000,000 expenditure on the Project. If Midway fails to notify Barrick within the 120-day period, Midway will be deemed to have elected to enter into the joint venture with Barrick.

If Midway elects or is deemed to have elected to enter into the joint venture agreement with Barrick, initial capital accounts will be established in accordance with Barrick’s earned interest in the Project and Barrick will become the manager of the joint venture

If Midway elects not to enter into the joint venture, then either: (i) within 365 days of Midway’s notice electing not to enter into the joint venture, Barrick will exercise its option to purchase Midway’s interest in the Project for US$40,000,000 and a 2% net smelter royalty return (NSR) on production from the Project; or (ii) Barrick will elect not to exercise its option to purchase Midway’s interest in the Project and the joint venture will be formed with Midway being deemed to have elected the carry option and any operations costs incurred by Barrick in the 365-day election period will be treated as Midway’s development costs.

25

The EDM Agreement also provides for the adjustment of a party’s participating interest in the joint venture upon default in making agreed-upon contributions to adopted programs and budgets or upon contributing less to a program and budget than a percentage equal to the party’s participating interest.

Further, the EDM Agreement provides that if Midway’s participation interest falls below 10%, Midway shall be deemed to have withdrawn from the joint venture and all of Midway’s participating interests will be assigned to Barrick, with Midway reserving a 2% NSR.

Under the EDM Agreement, a party’s whose recalculated participating interest is reduced to 10% shall be deemed to have withdrawn from the joint venture and shall relinquish its entire participating interest. Such relinquished participating interest shall be deemed to have accrued automatically to the other party. The reduced party shall have the right to receive 10% of net proceeds, if any, to a maximum amount of 75% percent of the reduced party’s equity account balance as of the effective date of the withdrawal. Upon receipt of such amount, the reduced party shall thereafter have no further right, title, or interest in the Project or under the EDM Agreement.

Barrick is required to conduct and fund exploration in 2009 on the Spring Valley project at a minimum level of US$4,000,000.  Barrick has informed Midway its program will include 45,000 feet of infill core and reverse circulation drilling and approximately twelve holes will be drilled for metallurgical testing purposes.

Drilling was initiated by Barrick on March 9^th, 2009. Two drill rigs are currently operating on the project, drilling core for metallurgical testing and in-fill holes of the known resources.

At March 31, 2009 the Company had an amounts receivable of $145,433 for recoverable salaries and expenses from Barrick for the Spring Valley project.  This balance was paid subsequent to March 31, 2009.

See Midway press release, March 11, 2009 at www.midwaygold.com filed on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 16, 2009.

Round Mountain Gold Trend

Midway Property, Nye County, Nevada

The Midway property is located in Nye County, Nevada, approximately 24 kilometers northeast of the town of Tonopah, 335 kilometers northwest of Las Vegas and 380 kilometers southeast of Reno. It is a high-grade epithermal quartz-gold vein system, on the Round Mountain – Goldfield gold trend. An underground decline is being permitted to bulk sample and test a group of high grade veins. Bulk sampling and metallurgical testing will help determine the true grade of the veins, provide a large sample for metallurgical testing and a drill platform to delineate reserves, and move the project toward production.

Midway hopes to be permitted for the bulk sample in 2010.

Activity in the three months ended March 31, 2009 at a cost of $87,220 was focused on negotiation of a water usage agreement with the town of Tonopah.Once the water agreement is in place then the Company can finalize the Plan of Operation and submit it to the BLM.  

The map below shows the location of Midway’s property located in Washington, USA.  This property is described in further detail below.

26

Golden Eagle Project, Ferry County, Washington

The Golden Eagle property is approximately 211 acres of private land located in Ferry County, Washington.  The property is accessed by driving two miles northwest of the town of Republic, Washington along the Knob Hill county road.

In 2008, Midway acquired 100% of the Golden Eagle project and began compiling and reviewing the historic database of 847 drill holes containing 165,775 feet of mostly core drilling (74%), to create a modern gold model. In 1996, Santa Fe Pacific Gold estimated that the Golden Eagle deposit contained 32.19 million tons grading 0.069 ounce per ton (opt) gold in a historic resource as part of an internal scoping study. A qualified person has not reviewed this resource and the historical estimate should not be relied upon. The project is comprised entirely of private land in the historic Republic gold district.

Efforts in 2009 will primarily be conducted by Midway staff and funded from working capital and will be directed toward key issues, including metallurgy testing, for moving the project towards a new scoping study, including a NI 43-101 compliant resource, high-grade target identification, evaluation of processing methods, and reviewing permitting. Staff has completed compiling and reviewing the historic data base  and has created a modern three dimensional gold model in Surpac.   In the three months ended March 31, 2009 the Company incurred $11,640 of costs related to these activities.

Pending additional financing from the exercise of share purchase warrants or an equity private placement in 2009 and the internal review of the project by staff the next step would be to commission an independent NI 43-101 compliant updated mineral resource estimate an expected cost of up to US$125,000.

Results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008

The net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $1,247,161 (2008 – $2,984,090).  The decrease in net loss was due primarily to decreased exploration expenses on the Company’s Nevada projects and an overall decrease in most categories of expenses.

Significant differences in costs between the periods are as follows:

Exploration expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $265,929 (2008 – $2,337,032).  The details of the expenses in each period may be found in the schedule to the unaudited consolidated interim financial statements.  Exploration levels are determined by the success of previous exploration programs on each project and cash available to fund additional programs.  Exploration salaries and labor include the non-cash estimated fair value of stock based compensation for stock options granted to technical employees in the period of $102,063 (2008 - $76,538).  

Investor relations and travel costs combined were $54,024for the three months ended March 31, 2009 (2008 - $88,119).  Management participated in only one investor show in North America in the current first quarter.  Midway has focussed its investor relations efforts on increasing the market’s awareness of Midway by travelling to meet potential investors and attendance at selected industry investor shows.  

Professional fees paid to lawyers and auditors decreased in the quarter ended March 31, 2009 as the Company’s activities have been focussed on its existing projects.  

Director’s fees and salaries and benefits of $487,770 (2008 - $289,260) are payments to the Company’s non-management directors and Midway’s staff based in Helena, Montana.   In the three months ended March 31, 2009 directors fees paid or accrued were $7,284 (2008 - $31,442).  Salaries and benefits paid in the three months ended March 31, 2009 were $188,679 (2008 - $192,351).  However in US dollar terms the salaries paid in the three months ended March 31, 2009 were $151,513 compared to US$191,569 in the three months ended March 31, 2008.  The category also includes the estimated fair value of stock based compensation for stock options granted and vested to employees, directors and officers in the period of $291,807 (2008 - $65,467).

Interest income has declined with the Company’s lower cash balances and the reduction in interest rates.  The income tax recovery of $4,000 (2008 - $105,000) and an unrealized foreign exchange loss of $285,424 (2008 – $289,455) included in the foreign exchange loss of $245,624 (2008 – $264,018) relate to the US dollar denominated future income tax liability recorded upon the acquisition of Pan-Nevada.

Notes and Factors Affecting Comparability of Quarters:

(1)

The Company is a mineral exploration company at the development stage and has no operating revenues.   Exploration costs fluctuate between periods depending on results of each successive phase on each project and the Company’s ability to fund exploration.

(2)

Stock based compensation costs are a non-cash expense and represent an estimate of the fair value of stock options granted.  These expenses are often the largest item included in the Statement of Operations and they represent a significant source of variation in loss from quarter to quarter.  Stock based compensation is allocated between salaries and benefits and mineral exploration expenditures.

(3)

Costs for the June 30 quarter tend to be higher due to printing and mailing of shareholder material for the Company’s annual general meeting and costs of conducting this meeting.

(4)

Costs for the December 31 quarter also tend to be higher due to accruals for the annual audit.  

(5)

In the December 31 quarter the Company wrote off $4,247,000 in mineral property interests.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company began the 2009 year with cash and cash equivalents of $2,416,438.  During the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company expended $754,017on operations and invested a total of $185,881in mineral property and equipment to end at March 31, 2009 with cash and cash equivalents of $1,476,540.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of its assets and the settlement of its liabilities in the normal course of operations.  The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is uncertain and dependent upon obtaining the financing necessary to meet its financial commitments and to complete the development of its properties and/or realizing proceeds from the sale of one or more of the properties.  The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, confirmation of the Company’s interests in the underlying properties, and the attainment of profitable operations. As at March 31, 2009, the Company had cash of $1,476,540, working capital of $475,200 and has accumulated losses of $54,367,638since inception. 

Subsequent to March 31, 2009 and by May 8, 2009 all of the 12,500,000 share purchase warrants had been exercised for proceeds of $3,500,000 of which $2,870,000 has been received and $630,000 is in transit. By May 8, 2009 the Company had paid the $1 million promissory note together with interest of $24,101 accrued to the date of payment.  With this infusion of cash management anticipates that the Company now has sufficient funds to meet planned expenditures over the next twelve months.  

Recently, the poor conditions in the U.S. housing market and the credit quality of mortgage backed securities continued and worsened in 2008 and into 2009, causing a loss of confidence in the broader U.S. and global credit and financial markets and resulting in the collapse of, and government intervention in, major banks, financial institutions and insurers and creating a climate of greater volatility, less liquidity, widening of credit spreads, a lack of price transparency, increased credit losses and tighter credit conditions.  These disruptions in the current credit and financial markets have had a significant material adverse impact on a number of financial institutions and have limited access to capital and credit for many companies. These disruptions could, among other things, make it more difficult for us to obtain, or increase our cost of obtaining, capital and financing for our operations in the future.  Our access to additional capital may not be available on terms acceptable to us or at all.

We expect to rely upon additional financing to fund our future operating budgets beyond the current fiscal year.  If costs increase substantially or we incur greater losses than expected, our exploration activities and other operations will be reliant upon equity financings to continue into the future.  The current market conditions could make it difficult or impossible for us to raise necessary funds to meet our capital requirements.  If we are unable to obtain financing through equity investments, we will seek multiple solutions including, but not limited to, credit facilities or debenture issuances.

As of May 8, 2009, there are 4,052,500stock options at prices ranging from $0.56 to $3.36.  While it is probable that some of these options will be exercised, it is not possible to predict the timing or the amount of funds which might be received.  

29

Midway may raise capital in 2009 to fund any expanded and future exploration and development.

Contractual Obligations

There are no contractual obligations other than those described in the notes to the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.

	Payments due by period (in thousands)

Off-balance sheet arrangements

There are no off balance sheet arrangements.

Inflation

We do not believe that inflation has had a significant impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

Environmental Compliance

Our current and future exploration and development activities, as well as our future mining and processing operations, are subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations in the countries in which we conduct our activities. These laws and regulations govern the protection of the environment, prospecting, development, production, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, mine safety, toxic substances and other matters. We expect to be able to comply with those laws and do not believe that compliance will have a material adverse effect on our competitive position. We intend to obtain all licenses and permits required by all applicable regulatory agencies in connection with our mining operations and exploration activities. We intend to maintain standards of environmental compliance consistent with regulatory requirements.

Midway has an obligation to reclaim its properties after the surface has been disturbed by exploration methods at the site. As of March 31, 2009, we have accrued US$93,494 ($117,924) related to reclamation and other closure requirements at our properties unchanged from the estimate made at from December 31, 2008. These liabilities are covered by a combination of surety bonds and restricted cash totaling $497,381 at March 31, 2009 (December 31, 2008 - $517,711). We have accrued as a current liability what management believes is the present value of our best

30

estimate of the liabilities as of March 31, 2009; however, it is possible that our obligations may change in the near or long term depending on a number of factors.

Critical accounting policies

Critical accounting estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements include our estimate of recoverable value on our property, plant and equipment, site reclamation and rehabilitation as well as the value assigned to stock-based compensation expense. These estimates involve considerable judgment and are, or could be, affected by significant factors that are out of our control.

The factors affecting stock-based compensation include estimates of when stock options might be exercised and the stock price volatility. The timing for exercise of options is out of our control and will depend, among other things, upon a variety of factors including the market value of Midway shares and financial objectives of the holders of the options. We used historical data to determine volatility in accordance with Black-Scholes modeling, however the future volatility is inherently uncertain and the model has its limitations. While these estimates can have a material impact on the stock-based compensation expense and hence results of operations, there is no impact on our financial condition.

Midway’s recoverability evaluation of its mineral properties and equipment is based on market conditions for minerals, underlying mineral resources associated with the assets and future costs that may be required for ultimate realization through mining operations or by sale. Midway is in an industry that is exposed to a number of risks and uncertainties, including exploration risk, development risk, commodity price risk, operating risk, ownership and political risk, funding and currency risk, as well as environmental risk. Bearing these risks in mind, Midway has assumed recent world commodity prices will be achievable. We have considered the mineral resource reports by independent engineers on the Midway, Spring Valley and Pan projects in considering the recoverability of the carrying costs of the mineral properties.  All of these assumptions are potentially subject to change, out of our control, however such changes are not determinable. Accordingly, there is always the potential for a material adjustment to the value assigned to mineral properties and equipment.

Midway has an obligation to reclaim its properties after the surface has been disturbed by exploration methods at the site. As a result Midway has recorded a liability for the fair value of the reclamation costs it expects to incur. The Company estimated applicable inflation and credit-adjusted risk-free rates as well as expected reclamation time frames. To the extent that the estimated reclamation costs change, such changes will impact future reclamation expense recorded.

Recent United States Accounting Pronouncements:

In May 2008, the FASB issued Statement No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles,” (“SFAS 162”) which identifies the sources of accounting principles and the accounting framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of non-governmental entities that are presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). SFAS 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with GAAP.” The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 162 to have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 intends to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS 161 also requires disclosure about an entity’s strategy and objectives for using derivatives, the fair values of derivative instruments and their related gains and losses. SFAS 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, and is applicable to the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009. The adoption of SFAS 161 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“FAS 141R”), which replaces FAS 141 and SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements”, an amendment of ARB No. 51 (“FAS 160”). FAS 141R establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer in

31

a business combination recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any controlling interest; recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. FAS 160 requires retroactive adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority interests. FAS 141R and FAS 160 shall be applied prospectively on or after an entity’s fiscal year that begins on or after December 15, 2008. FAS 141R and FAS 160 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Related Party Transactions

The Company had the following related party transactions for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 respectively.

		March 31, 2009		March 31, 2008
Consulting services paid to a company owned by an officer of the Company	$	22,500	$	22,500
Recovery of office costs from a company managed by common directors and officers		nil		(2,188)
Shares issued to a director pursuant to the Gold Rock property agreement – 30,000 common shares		nil		88,500

These transactions are in the normal course of business and are measured at the exchange amount which is the consideration established and agreed to by the related parties.

Item 3.  

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

Other than a promissory note disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements of which was paid in full subsequent to March 31, 2009, we have no other debt instruments subject to interest payments, sales contracts, swaps, derivatives, or forward agreements or contracts, or inventory.

Midway has no currency or commodity contracts, and we do not trade in such instruments.

Midway has no cash flow or revenue from operations.  Our operating funds are currently provided by equity issuances. We have to date always raised funds in Canadian dollars although we incur the majority of our expenditures in Canadian and United States dollars.  The shares of Midway are listed for trading on NYSE Amex and TSX.V and accordingly our ability to raise equity funds and the price at which such issues are sold is directly related to the activity and price of our shares on such exchange.  In addition, as we incur expenditures in both Canadian and United States currencies we have exposure to foreign currency gains or losses.  We do not currently enter into any contracts or arrangements to hedge against currency fluctuations.

We periodically access the capital markets with the issuance of new shares to fund operating expenses, and we do not maintain significant cash reserves over periods of time that could be materially affected by fluctuations in interest rates or foreign exchange rates.

Item 4.  

Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

At the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2009, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision of and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation the CEO and the CFO have concluded that as of

the end of the period covered by this report, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that: (i) information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits to the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in applicable rules and forms and (ii) material information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow for accurate and timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

During the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company made changes to its internal control over financial reporting.  The Company segregated the duties over transaction processes in the Company’s with respect to financial reporting matters and internal control over financial reporting.  Specifically the Company has restricted access to the Company’s accounting software program to certain personnel  so that specifically, certain personnel with financial transaction initiation and reporting responsibilities  do not have incompatible duties that allow for the creation, review and recording of journal entries without adequate independent review and authorization.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings.

Neither we nor any of our properties is currently subject to any material legal proceedings or other regulatory proceedings.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors.  

There are no material changes, except as disclosed below, from the risk factors previously disclosed in Midway’s Form 10-K filed on March 30, 2009 with the SEC.

Recent market events and general economic conditions

The recent unprecedented events in global financial markets have had a profound impact on the global economy. Many industries, including the gold mining industry, are impacted by these market conditions. Notwithstanding various actions by the U.S. and foreign governments, concerns about the general condition of the capital markets, financial instruments, banks, investment banks, insurers and other financial institutions could cause the broader credit markets to further deteriorate and stock markets to decline substantially. In addition, general economic indicators have deteriorated, including declining consumer sentiment, increased unemployment and declining economic growth and uncertainty about corporate earnings.

These unprecedented disruptions in the current credit and financial markets have had a significant material adverse impact on a number of financial institutions and have limited access to capital and credit for many companies. These disruptions could, among other things, make it more difficult for us to obtain, or increase its cost of obtaining, capital and financing for its operations.  A continued or worsened slowdown in the financial markets or other economic conditions, including but not limited to, consumer spending, employment rates, business conditions, inflation, fuel and energy costs, consumer debt levels, lack of available credit, the state of the financial markets, interest rates, and tax rates may adversely affect our growth and profitability.  Specifically:

·

The global credit/liquidity crisis could impact the cost and availability of financing and our overall liquidity;  

·

the volatility of gold prices may impact our revenues, profits and cash flow;

·

volatile energy prices, commodity and consumables prices and currency exchange rates impact potential production costs; and

33

·

the devaluation and volatility of global stock markets impacts the valuation of our equity securities

These factors could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

We have no cash flow from operations and depend on equity financing for our operations.

Our current operations do not generate any cash flow. Any work on our properties may require additional equity financing. If we seek funding from existing or new joint venture partners, our project interests will be diluted. If we seek additional equity financing, the issuance of additional shares will dilute the current interests of our shareholders. We may not be able to obtain additional funding to allow us to fulfill our obligations on existing exploration properties. Our failure to obtain such additional financing could result in delay or indefinite postponement of further exploration and the possible partial or total loss of our potential interest in certain properties or dilution of our interest in certain properties which would have a material adverse effect on our business.
