Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Continental Minerals Corporation

Under date of June 25, 2008, we reported on the consolidated balance sheets of Continental Minerals Corporation (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, deficit and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 3007, which are included in the 2007 Annual Report on Form 20-F/A (amendment No. 1). In connection with our audits of the aforementioned consolidated financial statements we also audited the related condensed financial statement schedules included in the 2007 Annual Report on Form 20-F/A (amendment No. 1). These financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statement schedules based on our audits.

In our opinion, such financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

As discussed in note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for financial instruments and derivatives in 2007.

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise stated)

1.	BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND CONTINUING OPERATIONS
	Continental Minerals Corporation ("Continental" or the "the Parent Company") is incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada, and its principal business activity is the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties. As the Company’s subsidiaries ultimately operate in the People’s Republic of China and due to restrictions on obtaining funds from the Chinese subsidiary, the Company is required to prepare parent company only financial statements under Rule 5.04 of Regulation S-X. Under a parent company only presentation, the Parent Company’s investments in its consolidated subsidiaries are presented under the equity method of accounting.
	The accompanying condensed financial statements of the Parent Company should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of Continental Minerals Corporation and its subsidiaries (“the Company”) for the year ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005.
	The Parent Company is in the process of exploring its mineral property interests which is held by its subsidiary companies and has not yet determined whether its mineral property interests contain economically recoverable mineral reserves. The underlying value and the recoverability of the amounts shown for investments in subsidiaries, and property and equipment are entirely dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable mineral reserves in the property interests held by its subsidiaries, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the exploration and development of the mineral property interests, and future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition of the mineral property interests.
2.	SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
	These condensed financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of application as the Company's most recent annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company's annual consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005.

There are no material differences between Canadian GAAP and US GAAP in the condensed statement of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005. For all periods presented, comprehensive loss equals reported loss for US GAAP purposes.

A description of US GAAP and the rules prescribed by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") that result in material differences from Canadian GAAP follows:

(a) US GAAP requires mineral property exploration and land use costs to be expensed as incurred until commercially recoverable deposits are determined to exist within a particular property, as cash flows cannot be reasonably estimated prior to such determination. Accordingly, for all periods presented, the Parent Company has expensed all mineral property exploration and land use costs for both Canadian GAAP and US GAAP purposes. However, included in the cost of the Harmony Gold Property that was acquired in fiscal 2001, were mineral property exploration costs that had been capitalized for Canadian GAAP purposes. As a result of capitalizing mineral property exploration costs for Canadian GAAP purposes, $13,250,898 of mineral property exploration costs included in the book value of

CONTINENTAL MINERALS CORPORATION

Notes to Condensed Financial Statements

For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise stated)

	the book value of the Harmony Gold Property at the date of its purchase in fiscal 2001 would have been previously expensed for US GAAP purposes. Accordingly, for US GAAP purposes, these costs would have been excluded from the value allocated to the Gibraltar Preferred shares and redeemable preferred shares of the Parent Company on the sale of the Harmony Gold Property.
	In addition, US GAAP does not permit the offset of a financial asset and financial liability when more than two parties have an interest in the financial asset and liability, which is permitted under Canadian GAAP. As such, the Gibraltar preferred shares and the redeemable preferred shares of the Parent Company would be presented on the balance sheet at their gross value as a financial asset and a financial liability respectively under US GAAP.
(b)	US GAAP does not permit accumulated deficit to be offset against share capital and contributed surplus after a special resolution of shareholders approving such an offset, which is permitted under Canadian GAAP. Accordingly, for US GAAP purposes, share capital would be increased by $7,128,939, contributed surplus would be increased by $342,309 and the accumulated deficit would be increased by $7,471,248 for December 31, 2007 and 2006 .
(c)	On August 29, 2006, the Parent Company issued an $11.5 million convertible promissory note of the Parent Company ("the Note") (note 3). Under Canadian GAAP, the convertible promissory note is classified between its equity and debt components. Under US GAAP, the entire Note would be classified as debt.
	Under Canadian GAAP, the accretion of the residual carrying value of the convertible instrument to the face value of the convertible instrument over the life of the instrument is charged to operations. Under US GAAP, the Note is stated at cost on its recognition and is not accreted.
	During the 2006 fiscal year, the $695,932 attributed to the equity component of the instrument under Canadian GAAP was classified as debt for US GAAP purposes. In addition, $230,298, (2005 – nil) of accretion expense recorded under Canadian GAAP was reversed for US GAAP purposes resulting in an $11,500,000 carrying value as at December 31, 2006.
	At January 1, 2007, upon adoption of CICA Section 3855 – Financial Instruments, the Parent Company designated the liability component of the convertible promissory note as held for trading, and its carrying value was adjusted to its fair value of $11,600,000 with a charge to opening deficit of $565,634 for Canadian GAAP purposes. There is no requirement under US GAAP to adjust the carrying value of the promissory note to its fair value. Hence, the promissory note was carried at its original carrying value of $11,500,000 for US GAAP purposes.

On redemption, the loss under Canadian GAAP was $475,000 and under US GAAP, the loss was calculated as follows:
Loss on extinguishment
Liability component, February 20, 2007	$	11,500,000
Conversion, February 20, 2007		(12,075,000	)
Loss on extinguishment of promissory note	$	(575,000	)

	The redemption of the convertible promissory note for $12.075 million on February 20, 2007 did not have any effect on contributed surplus since there was no equity component recorded under US GAAP.
(d)	In December 2004, Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (Revised 2006), "Share-Based Payment" ("SFAS 123R"), which is a revision of SFAS 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation". SFAS 123R supercedes APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees". SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. In calculating compensation to be recognized, SFAS 123R requires the Parent Company to estimate future forfeitures. Prior to adoption of SFAS 123R, the Parent Company's accounting for stock based compensation for US GAAP purposes was consistent with that used for Canadian GAAP. For Canadian GAAP purposes, the Parent Company uses the fair value method to account for all stock option grants but accounts for forfeitures as they occur, as permitted by Canadian GAAP.
	Based on the Parent Company's estimated future forfeiture rates of stock options, the expense recognized for US GAAP purposes under SFAS 123R is $249,320 less (2006 - $nil, 2005 - $nil) than the amount recorded for Canadian GAAP purposes.
(e)	Income taxes
	Under Canadian GAAP, future tax assets and liabilities may be recorded at substantively enacted tax rates. Under US GAAP, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded at enacted tax rates. There were no significant differences between enacted and substantively enacted tax rates for the periods presented.
	FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 48: Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No.109, was adopted by the Parent Company on June 1, 2007. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The interpretation requires that the Parent Company recognize the impact of a tax position in the financial statements if the position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. FIN 48 also provides guidance on de- recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods and disclosure. In accordance with the provisions of FIN 48, any cumulative effect resulting from the change in accounting principle is to be recorded as an adjustment to the opening
