          In addition to the other information presented in this Annual Report, the following should be considered carefully in evaluating us and our business. This Annual Report contains forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, those discussed below and elsewhere in this Annual Report.
          Notwithstanding the foregoing, our future success will be affected by many factors that are frequently associated with the development of a new business, which include, but are not limited to, the following:
          Significant History of Operating Loss with no revenues. With the exception of fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, we have reported operating loss since inception and as of December 31, 2006, we had an accumulated deficit of CAD $9,452,232. For fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, we had a net profit of CAD $2,111,071 which was attributable to the Company’s conclusion of the sale of its wholly owned subsidiary Oregon Resources Corporation to Industrial Minerals Corporation Ltd. (“IMC”, formerly Rubirosa Limited) on November 5, 2006 which resulted in a dilution gain on the share exchange transaction of IMC in the amount of CAD $4,995,107. We have not generated revenues from operations since inception and do not expect to generate revenues from operations until one or more of our properties are placed in production. There is no assurance that any of our properties will be placed in production or that our operations will be profitable in the future. See Risk Factor entitled “If We Are Unable to Raise Funds None Of Our Properties Will Be Put Into Production” below. Since we are currently in the exploration stage, our management expects to continue to suffer net losses for a foreseeable future.
          If our subsidiary companies are unable to raise funds none of our properties will be put into production. Our subsidiary companies projects are either at the early exploration stage, pre-production development or inactive and need future financing to continue development or begin extraction and processing operations. The exploration, development and production from these properties, including the

5


Table of Contents

construction of extraction and processing facilities and commencement of operations, will require substantial additional financing. The companies are currently seeking equity and debt financing to fund further development and explorations of our properties. However, there can be no assurance that additional financing will be available in the future or, if available, that it will be available on acceptable terms or in sufficient amounts to meet our capital requirements.
          Failure to obtain such additional financing could result in the indefinite postponement of exploration, development or production and loss of or reduction in our interest in certain properties. There is no assurance that additional capital or other types of financing will be available or that, if available, the terms of such financing will be commercially favorable to us. Until further studies are completed, we are unable to assess the costs of any extraction or processing operation that might be undertaken on its properties.
          Historically, we have had to seek capital for exploration due to lack of revenues. We have obtained funds through the private placement of our Common Shares and our current loan facility with Epsom Investment Services, N.V. (“Epsom”). As the Company transition to a mining investment holding company, it is likely that recourse to Epsom will be at substantially lesser amounts than previously utilized when the Company required funds for ongoing exploration. Epsom has historically funded the Company via working capital financing through agreement between the Company and directors of Epsom. Funds are then transferred in the form of wire transfers to the Company’s banking facilities.
          The mining industry is highly speculative and involves substantial risks. There is no assurance that any mining operations will ever be conducted on any of our subsidiary companies properties. In addition, even if mining is conducted on properties known to contain significant quantities of mineralization, it is generally accepted in the mining industry that most exploration projects do not result in the discovery of mineable deposits of ore in a commercially economical manner. There may be limited availability of water, which is essential to milling operations and interruptions may be caused by adverse weather conditions. Operations are subject to a variety of existing laws and regulations relating to exploration and development, permitting procedures, safety precautions, property reclamation, employee health and safety, air quality standards, pollution and other environmental protection controls. Mining activities are subject to substantial operating hazards, some of which are not insurable or may not be insured for economic reasons.
          There are no assurances that our subsidiary companies and our equity accounted for investee can produce minerals on a commercially viable basis. Our ability to generate revenues and profits is expected to occur through development of our subsidiary companies properties as well as through acquisitions of interests in new companies or properties. Substantial expenditures will be incurred in an attempt to establish the economic feasibility of mining operations by identifying mineral deposits and establishing ore reserves through drilling and other techniques, developing metallurgical processes to extract metals from ore, designing facilities and planning mining operations. The economic feasibility of a project depends on numerous factors, including the cost of mining and production facilities required to extract the desired minerals, the total mineral deposits that can be mined using a given facility, the proximity of the mineral deposits to a user of the minerals and the market price of the minerals at the time of sale. There is no assurance that existing or future exploration programs or acquisitions will result in the identification of deposits that can be mined profitably.
          Mining operations and exploration activities are subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations. Laws and regulation govern the development, mining, production, importing and exporting of minerals, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, protection of the environment, mine safety, toxic substances and other matters. In many cases, licenses and permits are required to conduct mining operations. No applications have yet been made for necessary permits (except as noted in Item 4), and there is no assurance that such required permits will be granted. Amendments to current laws and

6


Table of Contents

regulations governing operations and activities of mining companies or more stringent implementation thereof could have a substantial adverse impact on us. Applicable laws and regulations will require us to make certain capital and operating expenditures to initiate new operations. Under certain circumstances, we may be required to close an operation once it is started until a particular problem is remedied or to undertake other remedial actions.
          The prices of natural resources and minerals are subject to wide market fluctuations beyond our control. Prices of certain minerals have fluctuated widely in recent years. Future mineral prices cannot be accurately predicted. A severe decline in the price of a mineral being produced or expected to be produced by us would have a material adverse effect on us. If certain mineral prices were to decrease significantly, we could determine that it is not economically feasible to commence or continue production on one or more of its properties, our initial investment in exploration would be lost. The marketability of natural resources that may be acquired or discovered by us will be affected by numerous factors, including proximity and capacity of natural resource markets and processing equipment.
          We operate in a highly competitive industry. We compete with other developmental resource companies which have similar operations, and many competitors have operations and financial resources and industry experience greater than us. We may encounter increasing competition from other mining companies in our efforts to acquire mineral properties and hire experienced resource industry professionals. Increased competition in our business could adversely affect our ability to attract necessary capital funding or acquire suitable producing properties or prospects for mineral exploration in the future.
          Penny stock rules may make it more difficult to trade our Common Shares. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations which generally define a “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price, as defined, less than U.S. $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than U.S. $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities may be covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and accredited investors such as, institutions with assets in excess of U.S. $5,000,000 or an individual with net worth in excess of U.S. $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding U.S. $200,000 or U.S. $300,000 jointly with his or her spouse. For transactions covered by this rule, the broker-dealers must make a special suitability determination for the purchase and receive the purchaser’s written agreement of the transaction prior to the sale. Consequently, the rule may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and also affect the ability of our investors to sell their shares in the secondary market.
          We may be subject to foreign currency fluctuations. We operate in more than one country and our functional currency is the Canadian Dollar. Our majority controlled subsidiary, Industrial Minerals Corporation Ltd is an Australian listed company, and reports financial results in Australian dollars Our mining exploration properties are located in United States and Quebec, Canada, and our financial results are reported in Canadian Dollars. Our currency fluctuation exposure is primarily to the U.S. Dollar and the Canadian Dollar. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative trading purposes, nor do we hedge our foreign currency exposure to manage our foreign currency fluctuation risk. Fluctuations in and the various currencies in which we operate could have a material effect on our operations and its financial results.
          U.S. investors could suffer adverse tax consequences if we are characterized as a passive foreign investment company. We may be treated as a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, for United States federal income tax purposes. We may be deemed to be a PFIC because previous financings combined with proceeds of future financings may produce, or be deemed to be held to produce, passive income. Additionally, U.S. citizens should review the section entitled “Material United States Federal

7


Table of Contents

Income Tax Consequences” contained in this Annual Report for a more detailed description of the PFIC rules and how those rules may affect their ownership of our capital shares.
          If we are or become a PFIC, many of our U.S. shareholders will be subject to the following adverse tax consequences:
  they will be taxed at the highest ordinary income tax rates in effect during their holding period on certain distributions on our capital shares, and gains from the sale or other disposition of our capital shares;
 
  they will be required to pay interest on taxes allocable to prior periods; and
 
  the tax basis of our capital shares will not be increased to fair market value at the date of their date.
Uncertainty of continuing as a going concern. The continuation of the Company depends upon its ability to attain profitable operations and generate cash flow from operations and/or to raise equity capital through the sale of its securities. The Company’s financial statements do not include the adjustments that would be necessary if the Company were unable to continue as a going concern.
ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY
A. History and Development of the Company
          We were incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada on October 16, 1978, under the name Coven Resources Ltd. On April 16, 1984, our name was changed to Gold Medal Resources Ltd and then to Rare Earth Resources on November 24, 1989. We changed to our current name on April 4, 1997. On December 2, 1994, pursuant to the authority granted at an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders of September 9, 1994, we applied, and received assent from the Minister of Finance of Bermuda to change its place of incorporation to Bermuda, under Bermuda’s Companies Act, 1981, as amended. Our registered office is located at P. O. Box HM 1177, Par La Ville Place, 14 Par La Ville Road, Hamilton HM EX, Bermuda and its administrative headquarters are located at 10, route de l’Aeroport, 1215 Geneva, Switzerland.
          Traditionally we are a mining holding company primarily engaged in the exploration and development of natural resource properties. Our principal business activities have been the exploration of certain mineral properties located in the Quebec, Canada and in the States of Oregon and Kentucky. Our focus remains our Oregon Mineral Sands Project, where we are conducting sample analysis, building a pilot plant, investigating exploration and pre-development opportunities for the extraction of approximately 2,616 acres of terraced mineral sands properties near Coos Bay in southwestern Oregon.
          In 2006, following the appointment of Phil Garratt as Chief Executive the corporate strategy of the Company was altered to that of a mineral management holding company. The aim was to divest the Company’s operating companies into independently listed organizations with each capable of becoming self sufficient in their search for capital funding for exploration and development activities.
          Therefore on July 10th 2006, the Company announced the closing of the reverse takeover of its subsidiary Cadillac West Explorations, Inc. by Eclips Inc., Cadillac West Explorations, Inc. will continue its operations under the new name of Cadillac Mining Corporation and is now listed on the TSX market in Vancouver. Following this takeover and a further private placement to provide initial funding, Cadillac will have 23,873,132 shares outstanding, with that the Company will then own approximately 27.82%. The Company also own a further 1.44 million share warrants, exercisable to 30th November 2008 at CAD $0.24

a share. The shares and warrants owned by the Company are the subject of an escrow agreement, which will permit the Company full voting rights but limited liquidity through the release in stages over three years.
          On November 6th 2006, the Company concluded the sale of its wholly owned subsidiary Oregon Resources Corporation (“ORC”) to Industrial Minerals Corporation Ltd. (“IMC”). In total, 100 million shares were issued to the Company comprising 70 million ordinary shares and a further 30 million ordinary shares with a performance criteria. This represents approximately 62.2% ownership interest in IMC at the time of the closing. The performance criteria is the achievement by ORC as recorded in its audited accounts for the financial year ending 31st December 2009 of net profit after tax of AUD $5,000,000. In the event that this performance criteria is not achieved, these shares will be cancelled or bought back by Industrial Minerals Corporation.
          In addition to the Company’s interests in Cadillac and IMC, the Company conducts its operations directly and through its wholly-owned U.S.A. subsidiary, Dynamex Resource Corporation, incorporated under the laws of Wyoming on October 22, 2003.
          The following is our organizational chart as of July 6, 2007:
(FLOW CHART)
          From inception to December 31, 2006, we historically financed our operations through the private placement of our Common Shares. As of December 31, 2006, we have raised CAD $11,744,833 through private placements. In addition, we have also financed our activities through the use of a credit facility with Epsom. The current credit facility permits us to draw up U.S. $1,000,000. The maturity date for the credit facility is December 31, 2007. We intend to use our current working capital and the credit facility in the development of these subsidiary interests and also acquire new mining investment projects or companies.

The Oregon Mineral Sands Project
          The Company owns approximately 62.2% of IMC. IMC, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, ORC, hold interests in and have extensive exploration data on approximately 2,598 acres of terraced mineral sands properties near Coos Bay in southwest Oregon. We chose these properties based on government drill hole data and our exploration program that included airborne geophysics, surface sampling and trenching. Certain portions of the properties leased were first mined in the mid-1800s for gold and in the mid-1900s for chromite.
          These properties contain a probable reserve of 1,721,666 tons; a measured resource of 3,899,000 tons, and an indicated resource of 1,476,580, containing about 13% chromite, 4% garnet with additional values in zircon and other heavy minerals. It is estimated that geological resources comprise approximately 4 million additional tons. These deposits are amenable to environmentally safe surface mining methods with concurrent reclamation of the affected areas.
          In 1991, we undertook a major drilling and sampling program consisting of the exploration and development drilling of 550 holes for a total of 16,000 feet with 3,995 samples collected and 2,603 samples assayed primarily for chromite and zircon.
          In 1993, a 9-ton bulk sample was processed in a pilot plant test performed by The Mineral Sands Consultancy (“TMSC”) of Brisbane, Australia. Results indicated that the principal mineral constituents could be efficiently recovered at marketable concentrates. A pre-feasibility study indicated that a 300,000 tons per annum operation producing mainly chromite and garnet could generate an acceptable financial return.
          In April 1994, we obtained a Water Use Permit from the State of Oregon, and on October 31, 1994, we received a Conditional Use Permit from Coos County for its operations. As of June 21, 2005, the Conditional Use Permit had expired we will need to reapply for a new Conditional Use Permit. In November 2002, the deadline for applying water to full beneficial use was extended by the State of Oregon to October 1, 2005. We are currently seeking a further extension to apply the water to full beneficial use.
          In October 2004, we undertook additional metallurgical studies on a bulk sample to confirm and with current technology may improve on previous results. We are continuing to test, analyse data, and develop markets utilizing the experience and expertise of Daryl F.Hoyt, of foundry Sand technology, who is one of the consultants.

          We are currently undertaking market studies which are expected to reconfirm the market demand and pricing for product. To further develop the market, we are organizing a bulk sampling program which will provide a chromite sample for further product testing within the foundry sands industry. We are also undertaking further market studies on garnet, zircon and other heavy minerals contained in the property.
          In May 2005, we purchased a 10 ton per hour wet concentrating plant. This plant will be utilized initially in the bulk sampling program to produce test product for the market, with later application in the fully commercial operation.
          In early 2007, ORC began an aggressive exploration program in the vicinity of previously delineated heavy mineral occurrences. The area known as West Bohemia was drilled using sonic technology. A total of 134 holes were completed, averaging approximately 26 feet per hole in depth, for a total of 3,543 feet in all for the program. This program resulted in the identification of 3.2 million tons of measured resource averaging 17.9 percent heavy mineral and an assumed 7.3 percent in-ground chromite value using an in-ground chromite cut-off of approximately 4 percent. The drilling program also identified an additional 1 million tons of indicated resources, again with an average heavy-mineral grade of 17.9 percent and an assumed average in-ground chromite grade of 7.3 percent using an in-ground chromite cut-off of approximately 4 percent.
          ORC plans to undertake further delineation drilling in the late summer or early fall of 2007 to augment existing reserves, enhance the resource profile, expand the deposit in previously untested areas and to update the mine plan. Indicated resource areas within the West Bohemia deposit will be drilled with an estimated 25-30 drillholes required to further delineate the West Bohemia resource.
          We continue to seek capital for the ongoing development of the Oregon Mineral Sands Project. This ongoing development includes additional drilling to enhance the resource profile and longevity of the project, testing the products, acquiring infrastructure, and developing relationships with high level end users. Three mineral sands products have been created during the mineral processing testing. The products are chromite sand, garnet sand, and zircon sand. The initial focus has been on the chromite sand for use in the metal casting industry. Based on market due diligence, the ORC chromite was determined to have applications as a foundry sand.
          The garnet sand has been comparison tested utilizing the ORC garnet as an abrasive in waterjet cutting. These tests had a result which was considered to be a good reflection of the suitability of the ORC material.
          ORC is currently moving forward with the main plant design for the project and construction. Current planning calls for mining 700,000 tons per year of the chromite-bearing ore. The wet mill, through gravity separation which produces a heavy mineral concentrate, is the initial processing stage. The dry mill is where final mineral products are separated from the wet mill concentrate.
          The completion of the 700,000 tons per annum mineral processing plant and commencement of production on the project are dependent on a number of factors including, but not limited to, ORC’s ability to obtain further funding, unanticipated technical and operational difficulties, mechanical failure, unexpected shortages or increases in the prices of consumables, spare parts and plant and equipment, cost overruns and contracting risk from third parties providing essential services.
          Additional key risks are that the project contains resources which have yet to be adequately tested to prove economic viability. The project requires several permits and approvals from the State and local regulatory authorities with respect to the operation planned to take place on the industrial site and at the various locations that the minerals will be extracted from. In the event that ORC commences production

from the project, its operations may be disrupted by a variety of risks and hazards which are beyond its control, including the ability to enter into supply agreements on acceptable terms, environmental hazards, industrial accidents, technical failures, unusual or unexpected rock formations, flooding and extended interruptions due to inclement or hazardous weather conditions and fires, explosions and other accidents.
Cadillac West Project
          On July 10th 2006, the Company completed a reverse takeover of its subsidiary, Cadillac West Explorations, Inc. (“CWE”) by Eclips Inc. CWE will continue its operations under the new name of Cadillac Mining Corporation and is now listed on the TSX market in Vancouver. Following this takeover and a further private placement to provide initial funding, Cadillac had 23,873,132 shares outstanding, with the Company owning approximately 27.82%. This private placement was arranged by Blackmont Capital Inc. (Blackmont) and raised CAD $3.22 million for the benefit of Cadillac Mining. Blackmont placed 482 A Units consisting of 7,500 flow through and 2,500 common shares with attached 2,500 two-year share purchase warrants. The units were placed at CAD $0.50. The share purchase warrants can be exercised at CAD $0.55 in the first year from issue and at CAD $0.75 in the second year. Shares and warrants are subject to a four month hold period. Blackmont has also sold 162 B Units comprising of 10,000 regular shares at CAD $0.50 and 10,000 two year share purchase warrants on the same terms as the A Units.
          For the purposes of accounting, Cadillac Mining Corporation is treated as an equity investment and consolidated on our consolidated financial statement under the equity based accounting method. The Company also own a further 1.44 million share warrants, exercisable to 30th November 2008 at CAD $0.24 a share. The shares and warrants owned by the Company are the subject of an escrow agreement, which will permit the Company full voting rights but limited liquidity through the release in stages over three years.
          CWE was established in 2004 pursuant to an agreement dated June 3, 2004 between the Company, Victor Erickson and Andre Audet (the “CWE Agreement”). The purpose of CWE was to pursue an exploration opportunity in Beauchastel and Dasserat Townships located in northwestern Quebec. Pursuant to the CWE agreement, CWE acquired (i) 282 mineral claims comprising of 9,450 hectares in the Beauchastel and Dasserat Townships from Victor Erickson and Andre Audet and (ii) a right to earn a 50% interest in 77 claims comprising of 2,185 hectares in the Beauchastel and Dasserat Townships pursuant to the assignment of the Norcoeur Option and the Lac Fortune Option (collectively “the Richmont Option”) from Victor Erickson and Andre Audet.
          Prior to the reverse takeover by Eclips Inc., the Company had invested approximately $770,000. The funds have been expended primarily on geophysics, geochemistry and diamond drilling to demonstrate the validity of the exploration models proposed for the area by the project originators, two experienced professional engineers. Its recent activities since 2004 include two surveys: Summer 2004 Survey and Winter 2004 Survey. The Summer 2004 survey was conducted to meet the Ministry of Natural Resources assessment work requirements and to provide the basis for further exploration, more specifically the identification of drill targets on the Cadillac Break. The purpose of the Winter 2004 survey on the Richmont Option was to commence preliminary drilling to test the proposed deposition models.
          Subject to obtaining additional financing, the next stage of exploration on the CWE claims will comprise of core drilling. We anticipate that Cadillac will fund its exploration through equity financing.
The Shawnee Project
          The Shawnee Project is located within an intracratonic rift system located at the boundary area between southern Illinois and northwestern Kentucky. During the period 1989 to 1992, we acquired a

12


Table of Contents

number of leases in the region hosting several diatremes. While the area was targeted initially by us for rare earth elements, more recent work by the U.S. Geological Survey and others has demonstrated that the region is prospective for the discovery of diamonds and potentially economic zinc.
          In 1992, we conducted a 7,000 kilometer airborne magnetic and radiometric geophysical survey over its properties and the surrounding area in the district. We regard this data as a significant advancement in the identification of base metal deposits. The survey was conducted, processed and interpreted using the latest techniques, and the survey results include a 100% correlation with our existing knowledge of the diatremes in the district. The survey also provided insight into geological formations within the district and identified additional land positions that should be secured and explored by us.
          We acquired a substantial database and mineral leases in the Kentucky area close to the Illinois border. This data, when compiled with the information extracted from our airborne magnetic and radiometric survey, supported our belief that the region has potential to contain lead, zinc and diamond deposits enriched in advanced metals and rare earths.
          From May 31, 1993 to April 30, 1996, we had a joint venture with Kennecott Exploration Company (“Kennecott”), covering its Shawnee Project. During that time Kennecott conducted geological and geophysical surveys, which included drilling three holes as follows: Hole #1 was drilled vertically on the edge of the anomaly to 900 feet (310 meters) without intersecting kimberlite. Hole #2 was vertically drilled to a depth of 2,210 feet (700 meters). Hole #3, 500 meters from Hole #2, was drilled at a 45% angle from the horizontal to a depth of 1,158 feet (374 meters). Hole #2 was logged and small, token hand samples were taken for petrographic and chemical analysis. Hole #3 has not yet been logged and, with the exception of approximately ten boxes that were spot checked in 2002, the drill core boxes remain unopened. Additionally, geochemical stream sediment and soil samples taken on and near the Lollypop intrusive remain available in storage, still untested for diamond or diamond indicator minerals.
          During 2002, Mr. Richard Boulay, a geologist and President of Marum Resources Inc. visited the Shawnee Project, took kimberlite outcrop samples and briefly inspected the available core, including random boxes of core throughout Hole #3. Hole #3 was found to contain kimberlitic breccias similar those in Hole #2. Mr. Boulay recommended a reactivation of the project based on its obvious positive geological features: the immediate availability of untested drill core, the availability of untested geochemical samples and the ease of taking bulk surface samples from outcropping kimberlite or saprolitic kimberlite soil up to 40 feet deep (13 meters).
          Based on these findings, on May 27, 2003 our Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) announced that diamond exploration would immediately recommence on the Shawnee Project. The main objective of the program was to establish the Lollypop kimberlite as a diamond-bearing host rock. Therefore the re- activation of this project focused on the evaluation of the diamond potential of the Lollypop kimberlitic intrusion in Crittenden County, Western Kentucky. This complex, multiple-phase intrusion is poorly explored both as to its internal structure and its diamond potential. The Lollypop-shaped kimberlitic complex is large, measuring 3.4Kms by 1.6Kms (1 mile by 2 miles) and having a surface area of approximately 500 hectares (1,235 acres).
          The Lollypop kimberlite intrusion lies at the busy intersection of the Mississippi Embayment, the Illinois Basin, the Reelfoot Rift, the Rough Creek Graben, the Fluorspar Fault Swarm and the Wabash Valley Fault System. The area is one of the most structurally complex and seismically active areas in the United States. The geological credentials of the Shawnee diamond exploration project include a thick, underlying Precambrian shield that contains swarms of very deep, regional faults and rift fractures that have been active over long periods of geological time. These zones of crustal weakness allowed deep-seated, mantle-derived kimberlitic magmas to ascend into the overlying sedimentary rocks that form the

Table of Contents

present surface. The kimberlite occurs in outcrop on hill sides and in streams, lays a few meters beneath a thin layer of soil, or actually forms a thick, yellow, saprolitic, kimberlitic soil. Petrographic, whole rock and microprobe analysis of samples from outcrop and drill core indicates that the kimberlites have a deep mantle origin and internal chemistries that positively define the Lollypop complex as a prospective diamond host. The kimberlites and their altered or weathered kimberlitic derivatives occur as kimberlite porphyries, kimberlitic diatreme breccias, carbonatized kimberlitic breccias and kimberlitic replacement zones peripheral to the enclosing limestones.
          Specifically, Mr. Boulay recommended that all core should be re-logged, photographed and skeletonized with 10% of the core being retained for archive purposes. The resulting two to three tonnes (metric tons) of core would be subjected to a staged caustic dissolution program that could be converted to a mechanical recovery program depending on the results from the initial caustic dissolution batches. A new stream sampling program was also recommended to recover diamond grains.
          The currently available data does not allow for an estimate of the volume of kimberlite and kimberlitic rocks contained in the Lollypop intrusive complex. However, the Hole #2 preliminary logs and spot examinations of core from Hole #3 suggest a tentative model for exploration planning purposes. Holes #2 and #3 both terminate in limestone. This indicates that these holes have not encountered the kimberlite feeder pipes but rather intercept a very large, deep and complex volcanic crater facies that was injected into a thick sequence of sedimentary rocks. In Hole #2, kimberlitic breccias and kimberlite porphyries occur together with minor layers or blocks of limestone from surface to 885 feet (285m). From 885 to 1,700 feet (285m to 548m) the core consists of thick alternating units of limestone, kimberlitic breccias, kimberlite porphyry and shale. From 1,700 to 1,850 feet (548m to 597m), kimberlitic breccia is again intersected. Limestone occurs from 1,850 to 2,210 feet (597m to 713m), the end of the hole. Current data supports the probable existence of a very large volume of kimberlitic rocks in the Lollypop intrusive complex.
          On November 21, 2003, the Company announced the results of drill core samples submitted to two laboratories. The core rock samples were dissolved and screened and none of the samples contained diamond.
          We continue to consider alternative exploration options in an area known to contain both zinc and fluorite exploration potential. This may involve us undergoing exploration activities within a joint venture arrangement or other partnership deals.
C. Organizational Structure
          We have two subsidiaries: (i) Industrial Minerals Corporation Ltd (“IMC”), an Australian publicly listed company which wholly owns ORC, an Oregon corporation which operates the Oregon Mineral Sands Project, with the Company currently owning approximately sixty two percent (62.2%) of the equity, and (ii) Cadillac Mining Corporation, a British Columbia corporation and is now listed on the TSX market in Vancouver, with the Company currently owning approximately twenty seven point eight two percent (27.82%). We also have one wholly owned subsidiary, Dynamex, a Wyoming corporation which operates the Shawnee Project.

Leased Property in Coos County, Oregon
          In the early 1990’s, we leased approximately 2,016 acres for the purposes of exploring for mineral sands deposits containing chromite, zircon, ilmenite, rutile, garnet and possibly gold in Coos County, Oregon. The lease covering 320 acres (Yoder-Miller Property), known as the Shepard Deposit was renegotiated in 2003. The lease of the mineral rights on 1,890 acres which is the subject of the Weyerhauser Lease was entered into January 1, 2006. The lease was executed with terms that encourage the early development of the leased properties.
          1. The Yoder-Miller Property
          By a lease dated January 9, 2003, among ORC, Sarah Jane Yoder-Miller, Edwin A. Yoder and June Marie Yoder, we leased approximately 320 acres of property located approximately 12 miles southwest of Coos Bay, representing 20% of the proven reserves of the Oregon Mineral Sands Project (“Yoder-Miller Property”). The lease is for an initial term of five years and requires a lease payment of U.S. $6,400 per year. The owners of the Yoder-Miller Property are also entitled to a production royalty of U.S. $0.8751 per ton of ore mined and removed from any portion of the Yoder-Miller Property. The principal mineral deposit identified on the Yoder-Miller Property is known as the Shepard deposit. According to the United States Bureau of Mines, the Shepard deposit contains 257,500 metric tons of heavy mineral sands averaging 17.2% chromite. Also, according to the U.S. Bureau of Mines, the known extensions of the Shepard deposit total over 1.8 million metric tons of heavy mineral sands averaging 8.2% chromite.
          2. The Weyerhauser Lease (formerly known as Bohemia/Williamette Industries)
          By a mining lease made as of June 12, 1992 (the “Bohemia Lease”) between Bohemia, Inc., as lessor and us, as lessee, we leased approximately 1,891 acres, more or less, of property located approximately 10 miles southwest of Coos Bay, Oregon (the “Bohemia Property”) for an initial term of ten years. The lease was allowed to expire in 2000. In 1992 Bohemia Inc. was acquired by Willamette Industries Inc. and in its new corporate status sold the Bohemia Property to Rosboro Lumber Company while retaining all the mineral rights both on and below the surface. Thereafter, Weyerhauser Company acquired Willamette and became the current owner of the mineral rights on the Bohemia Property. In 2006, Weyerhaueser also acquired the surface rights from Rosboro Lumber Company.
          As of January 2, 2006, a Mineral Sands Lease was entered into between Weyerhaeuser Company and Oregon Resources Corporation and Resource Finance & Investment Ltd.. The Lease was Amended and Restated February 2, 2007, to include provisions relating to the surface estate and to add additional lands, totaling 1,856 more or less. The term of the Lease is for ten years, ending December 31, 2015; provided that Lessee may renew this Lease for an additional term of five years if Lessee is conducting active mining operations on the leased area at the time of renewal. Lessee shall pay Weyerhaeuser advance minimum royalty payments ranging from $10,000 for year one to $100,000 for year 10. Lessee shall pay Weyerhaeuser a production royalty of 3.5% of gross sales receipts for all mineral sands and sold f.o.b the plant where final saleable product is produced. In the event that Lessee extracts and markets precious metals from the leased area, Lessee shall pay Weyerhaeuser a separate production royalty on any precious metals mined and sold in an amount equal to 5% of the selling price received by Lessee. In the event that Lessee markets tailings from the leased area, lessee shall pay Weyerhaeuser a separate production royalty on any sand tailings sold in an amount equal to 50% of the gross selling price received by Lessee f.o.b. the point of sale.
          The principal mineral deposits identified on the Weyerhaeuser Property are known as the South Seven Devils Deposit, North Seven Devils Deposit and West Bohemia Deposit. According to the U.S.

16


Table of Contents

Bureau of Mines, the two Seven Devils deposits contain approximately 1.2 million metric tons of heavy mineral sands averaging 14.9% chromite. The deposit also contains zircon, garnet, ilmenite, and rutile. A portion of the South Seven Devils Deposit was mined for chromite during World War II.
Property Owned in Coos County, Oregon
          We own four undeveloped lots in the Sansaria subdivision totaling less than one acre located in Coos County, Oregon. This property was acquired in order to provide a buffer between the Oregon Mineral Sands Project and a certain gated community.
          We own one-half interest in the mineral, oil and gas rights on approximately 600 acres of property in Coos County, Oregon (formerly the “Westbrook Property”), except (i) a 1/8 royalty on all oil, gas and associated hydrocarbons produced and sold from this property, (ii) a royalty of 5% on the gross proceeds received from the sale of minerals, except for gold and common varieties of: sand, clay and gravel, and (iii) a 10% royalty of the gross proceeds received from the sale of gold owned by International Paper Realty Corporation.
          In 2006 Westbrook sold this property. Eighty-eight acres, which were in cranberry bogs was sold to the Coqulle Indian Tribe, with the remaining acreage (approximately 488 acres) sold to Roseburg Timber Company. ORC is currently in final negotiations with the Coquille Indian Tribe to purchase their surface and mineral rights in the 88 acres. ORC has also approached Roseburg Timber as to their interest in either entering into an exploration agreement with an option to purchase, or in the alternative, entering into a purchase and sale agreement for their surface and mineral rights in the subject property.
          The principal mineral deposit identified on the former Westbrook Property is known as the Section 4 deposit (which extends in part off the southeast corner of the Westbrook property onto the former Bohemia property, now owned by Weyerhaeuser Company). According to exploration results of both the U.S. Bureau of Mines and us, the Section 4 deposit contains approximately 600,000 metric tons of mineral sands.
Geology of Mineral Sands Placers
          The Oregon Mineral Sands Project is located in the Cape Arago district. Exploration by both the U.S. Bureau of Mines and us has identified heavy mineral deposits in the Cape Arago area of southwest coastal Oregon. Exploration data shows the existence of multiple minerals including chromite, garnet, zircon, ilmenite and magnetite in several ancient mineral sands deposits.
          A defined mineral deposit is a mineralized body that has been physically delineated by drilling, excavations and other workings and has been found to contain mineralized material with sufficient tonnage and grade to warrant further evaluation. Such a mineralized body may not contain proven or probable ore reserves because sampling is not yet sufficiently detailed to reliably predict that the mineralized material can be economically and legally mined. Any statement of the quantity of minerals believed to be present in any mineral deposit should be regarded as a preliminary estimate of the total quantity of the minerals present in the mineralized body, subject to change after further exploration and development work, and may not indicate that the minerals can be economically extracted.
          The mineral deposits identified as described above consists of mineral sands that occur on ancient beach terraces. Over several millennia, ocean wave action tends to carve a flat terrace at the base of a sea cliff. In southwestern Oregon, the earth’s crust has lifted the coastline above sea level intermittently over the past several hundred thousand years. As a result, several distinct wave-cut beach terraces can now be found inland from the present coastline, elevated above sea level.

17


Table of Contents

          As beach terraces form, the waves erode the receding sea cliffs. Additional sediments are added from coastal streams. Heavy minerals are concentrated on the lower layers of sand covering the beach terrace. Mineral deposits consisting of loose rock fragments such as these beach sands are referred to as placers.
          The mineral sands deposits occur along a number of ancient elevated beach terraces that range over a 240-square-kilometer coastal plain. Along the southwestern Oregon coast, eight known terraces formed during the last few million years occur at elevations ranging from 10 meters to 770 meters. Over 30 mineral sands placer occurrences are known.
Description of Individual Mineral Sands Deposits in the Cape Arago District
          The Cape Arago district contains a substantial mineral sands deposit that has been mined historically and has been studied by the U.S. Bureau of Mines. These deposits total 8.1 million metric tons of heavy mineral sands which, according to the U.S. Bureau of Mines, contain on average approximately 12% by weight of the mineral chromite (or, expressed in terms of the pure chromium oxide contained in the chromite, approximately 4.8% chromium oxide by weight). The deposits are found on three lower beach terraces that stair-step up to the east from the present coastline. Most heavy mineral deposits occur in 1-15 meter thick layers that are normally concealed beneath a cover of dune sand.
          Based on drilling, the U.S. Bureau of Mines suggests that at least 200 million metric tons of lower grade heavy mineral sands containing 2 million metric tons of chromium oxide (i.e., 1% Cr2O3 by weight) may exist on the raised beach terraces.
          Compared to major world-class mineral sands deposits, the known higher-grade Cape Arago deposits are relatively small; however, they contain high concentrations of heavy minerals, including chromite, garnet and zircon. The larger but lower grade deposit of at least 200 million metric tons containing approximately 1% Cr2O3, indicated by the U.S. Bureau of Mines, is more typical of conventional world-class mineral sands deposits.
          The Cape Arago deposits are unique in their unusual mineral association. The combination of chromite, zircon, gold, ilmenite, rutile, garnet and olivine is unusual. Most mineral sands deposits contain only zircon, rutile and ilmenite as valuable heavy minerals.
Historical Data, Mineral Exploration Program
          Historically, gold was produced from the placer deposits at Whiskey Run Beach south of Cape Arago, Oregon beginning in the mid-1800s. Chromite was produced during World War II from within the Cape Arago area. 1.8 million metric tons, containing 9.7% chromite, was mined. The U.S. Bureau of Mines has sampled and prepared geological maps of certain of the mineral sands deposits, analyzed historical exploration and production records of several mining companies, and has drilled over 100 exploration holes during the 1970s. We have reviewed the U.S. Bureau of Mines reports on the mineral sands deposits. In addition, we have collected and reviewed several reports on the mineral sands deposits by the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries; A.B. Griggs; Peterson, Gleason and Wetzel; Peterson, Kulm, Komar and Mumford; R.J. Hunhausern; and John B. Huttl.
          We have combined historical mining records, field geological studies, and drilling data to produce geologic maps of the ancient beach terraces and mineral sands deposits. Cross-sections of certain deposits are visible at historical mining locations and the valley walls of certain area streams. The historical

18


Table of Contents

information plus recent explorations have allowed us to estimate the extent of mineral sands deposits in several beach terrace deposits, discussed separately below.
     We have conducted an exploration and property acquisition program in southwestern Oregon. The exploration program consisted of geological mapping, drilling, sampling and geophysical surveys. Additional drilling is expected to provide information on the extent and grade of known higher-grade mineral sands deposits and the presence of other buried deposits. As a result of the 1991 drilling program, we have established a proven resource of 2,111,000 tons with an average grade of 12.9% chromite and .8% zircon. In addition to the proven and probable deposits, probable reserves total approximately 7,000,000 tons. Our consultants in Australia processed and analyzed an 8.2 tons bulk sample of mineral sands from one of its deposits in May 1993. The results of this analysis and processing provided additional information regarding the feasibility of producing chromite and garnet from the project.
     We completed an airborne geophysical survey specifically designed to identify hidden mineral sands placer deposits and has completed regional mapping and sampling. The aerial survey shows several magnetic anomalies that we believe may indicate further high-grade mineral sands occurrences that have not yet been discovered through surface exploration. Detailed drilling will be required to confirm whether such high-grade deposits are present.
Mineral Commodities Obtained from Mineral Sands
     The mineral sands of southwestern Oregon contain the minerals chromite (a mixed iron, magnesium, aluminum and chromium oxide), garnet (iron, magnesium and aluminum silicate), zircon (zirconium silicate), along with other heavy minerals. The uses of these main products are described in following paragraphs.
     Chromite is used in the manufacture of stainless steel and chrome alloys. The United States currently has no supply from domestic chromite mines other than recycled material and imports its chromite from the Republic of South Africa, Turkey, Zimbabwe and the former Yugoslavia. Western industrialized nations are almost totally dependent on these foreign sources of chromite, some of which may be unreliable. Based on testing, the Oregon chromite is well suited as a foundry sand. Foundry sand is a higher value product vs. feed for the ferrochrome industry. The worldwide consumption of foundry sand chromite is close to 1/2 million tons with approximately 80,000 tons consumed in USA markets. Both Chromite and zircon are used extensively as foundry sands.
     We believe that the demand for zircon has grown substantially during the past decade, resulting from zircon’s expanding use in refractories, high-grade castings, advanced ceramics and light metals and from the diminishing quantities of zircon ore that can be mined at low cost.
     The main use of garnet on the West Coast of the United States is as silica-free material in the precision metal cutting (water jet) and sand blasting industries. Garnet for the water jet cutting market is expanding because of the increased usage of water jet cutting machines or demand for these machines which has been increasing at an annual rate of 7-9%. The advantages of using garnet in water jet cutting machines is its hardness and ability to create a cleaner cut as opposed to laser or plasma cutting. Silica, in the form of sands for sand blasting, can cause silicosis, a debilitating lung disease caused by fine silica particles becoming lodged in the lungs. Garnet is used in aqua-jet blasting. It is a good all round fine abrasive. Oregon garnet has been comparison tested and it has been determined to be suitable for the higher unit value product as a water jet abrasive feedstock. According to the President of Calypso Water Jet Cutting, Huston, Texas, which is the third largest in the water jet cutting industry, the estimated USA water jet market consumes an estimated 60,000 tons per year of garnet.

Previous Exploration
     The Cape Arago district contains a substantial mineral sands deposit that has been mined historically and studied by the U.S. Bureau of Mines. Chromite was produced during World War II from 1,800,000 metric tons of mineral sands. The U.S. Bureau of Mines has sampled and prepared geological maps of certain of the mineral sands deposits, analyzed historical exploration and production records of several mining companies and drilled over 100 exploration holes during the 1970’s. We have completed an exploration program on the South Seven Devils, North Seven Devils, Shepard and Westbrook Deposits consisting of initial survey work, 500 drill holes comprising approximately 15,000 feet of drilling together with the collection of 4,000 samples. A fifth deposit, the West Bohemia Deposit, has been explored by us with 24 drill holes totaling approximately 400 feet and had 150 samples collected.
     We have also taken an 8.2 ton bulk sample from the South Seven Devils deposit and sent the sample to Australia for assessment by TMSC. TMSC confirmed to us that the sample was amenable to separation using standard mineral sands industry techniques in a report us dated November 1991.
Mineral Resources
     As a result of our 1991 drilling program on the four deposits referred to above, we have established proven plus reserves of 2,100,000 short tons of ore. We retained TMSC to produce a report on the 1991 drilling program. TMSC provided a report dated November 1991, updated by a report dated August, 1993, which confirm the proven and probable reserve of 2,100,000 short tons of mineral sands. TMSC concluded that only the reserves on the South Seven Devils, North Seven Devils and Shepard deposits possessed mineable grades. Therefore, TMSC calculated aggregate proven reserves of 1,387,000 short tons at a grade of 14.9% chromite on those three deposits.
     The successful completion of the 2006 exploration drilling program on February 18, 2007, resulted in expansion of the resource profile of the project. Sonic drilling conducted as part of the field activities on the West Bohemia property (the original West Bohemia deposit plus the Section 9 deposit) resulted in the identification of 3.2 million tons of measured resource averaging 17.9 percent heavy-mineral. The drilling also identified an additional 1.0 million tons of indicated resource, again with an average heavy-mineral grade of 17.9 percent.
South Seven Devils
     This deposit is the first and best explored of the four. In the past, much of the overburden above the ore has been removed giving an attractive present stripping ratio. The deposit has an estimated ore reserve of 603,000 short tons at 15.3% chromite and 1.2% zircon, using a calculated bulk density of 1.62 short tons per cubic yard. The surface area is 16.1 acres. The South Seven Devils deposit is a high-grade reserve of limited volume with an attractive stripping ratio. It should present few mining problems except perhaps against parts of the steep eastern wall.
North Seven Devils
     This deposit is located in the same general area as South Seven Devils. It lies on a series of trending north- south “plateaus” separated by steep gullies, and hence consists of three separate pits. Overall, North Seven Devils is a high grade reserve of similar quality to South Seven Devils but slightly smaller. However, because of the large overburden quantities and the complication of the three separate pits, it will pose more mining problems.

Shepard
     This deposit lies southwest of, and at an elevation about 50 feet lower than, the Seven Devils deposits. It is topographically more complex with the eastern wall being very steep in some places and relatively gentle in others, and the western fall-off steeper and more irregular. Average thickness is 10 feet with an average overburden of 28 feet. The Shepard deposit has an estimated ore reserve of 289,000 short tons at 13.7% chromite and 0.8% zircon using a calculated bulk density of 1.61 short tons per cubic yard. Shepard is a small reserve with a still considerable grade although lower than that of the Seven Devils Deposits. Because of its higher stripping ratio and topographical complexity, it presents more mining problems than the bigger deposits.
Coquille Indian Tribe and Roseburg Timber , formerly Westbrook (ORC has a 50% mineral ownership)
     This deposit lies to the northwest of the Seven Devils Deposits. It sits on a plateau bounded on all sides by a relatively gentle downward slope. Internally, there is a gentle upward slope to the southwest. Westbrook has an estimated ore reserve of 729,000 short tons at 9.0% chromite and 0.5% zircon using a calculated bulk density of 1.58 short tons per cubic yard.

Logistics
     Logistically, the mineral sands deposits of southwestern Oregon are situated in a favorable setting. The known deposits are within ten miles of a deep-sea shipping port. The region has a well-qualified work force experienced with technical equipment related to processing and milling of forest products. Abundant heavy equipment and repair facilities are located in Coos Bay. Most deposits are located within one-half mile of all-weather paved roads and are accessible by all-weather gravel roads. The targeted lands are largely undeveloped timberlands (though most have been logged) and can, after mining, be reclaimed either to forestlands or alternative uses.
Conceptual Mine Plan
     The heavy mineral sand operation’s main components are excavation equipment, wet and dry mills, laboratory and storage facilities. Excavation will comprise rubber-tired front end loaders and trucks to

21


Table of Contents

extract and move the mineral sands material. The soil and overburden materials will be stockpiled adjacent to the working site which allows for ready access and retrieval during the ongoing backfill and reclamation program.
Processing Site
     In July 2006, ORC entered into a Lease Agreement and Option to Purchase with Teck Cominco American Incorporated of their industrial site at Coos Bay, Oregon comprised of 28.44 acres and a marine wharf located at the north end of the real property. Under the terms of this Agreement , Teck Cominco leased to ORC the premises for the purpose of development and operation of a pilot plant to process, test, and produce heavy mineral concentrate from unconsolidated sands, and related uses. In addition, Teck Cominco granted to ORC an option to purchase the property following the satisfaction of certain conditions relating to the property. Terms include a security deposit of $200,000, monthly base rent of $25,000, with a lease term of 12 month. The lease term can be extended. The purchase price is $1,000,000 with the earnest money deposit and any monthly base rent paid under the lease, including for or during extension periods, credit to the purchase price
     In December 2006 ORC engaged URS Corporation as consultants to assist in the preparation and completion of an application for a Conditional Use Permit in connection with the principal mineral sands processing facilities to be constructed on the industrial site at Coos Bay.
Pilot Plant
     In May 2005, we purchased a 10 ton per hour wet concentrating plant for U.S. $215,000. Since our purchase, we have had additional spirals designed, manufactured and shipped from Australia at a cost of approximately USD $35,000. These spirals were added to the plant when it was relocated and commissioned on the Teck Cominco industrial site in Coos Bay, Oregon. Initially, this plant will be used for obtaining product for testing in the market and thereafter be incorporated into the commercial operation.
Processing Plants Design, Construction and Commissioning
     In 2006 ORC shipped 9 tons of exploration sample for testing at the Outokumpu Technology mineral separation facilities in Jacsonville, Florida. Outokumpu Technology conducted test work related to the separation of chromite and garnet to obtain product for testing in the market, and for process development services for the determination of a flow sheet design for the main processing plants. The Company is currently in negotiations with Outokumpu for the entry into a turn key contract for the design, construction and commissioning of the mineral sands processing facility.
     The wet mill separation stage will reduce the bulk of the material being handled and produce a rough concentrate which contains the majority of the heavy minerals. The wet mill will screen and wash the sands. Gravity separation of minerals is accomplished by passing a water/sand slurry through a series of spiral coils. As the sand slurry slides down the spiral ramps, more dense grains move to the lower, inside edge of the ramp and less dense grains move toward the higher outer edge, effecting their separation.
     The dry separation of the minerals will be achieved by using a combination of both magnetic and electrostatic separation equipment. High-intensity magnets separate magnetic from nonmagnetic heavy mineral grains. The higher magnetic products, including magnetite and ilmenite, would be removed from the chromite and garnet fraction. High-iron garnets would be separated electrostatically from the magnetic chromite. The nonmagnetic zircon and rutile concentrate would be processed by gravity methods.

     Processing would include additional magnetic and electrostatic separations to produce final products. The mineral products would then be sold to various processors or mineral users.
     If the Oregon Mineral Sands Project proceeds, our market strategy will be to produce three products initially, followed by the later development of stockpiled byproduct minerals. Initial production will focus on chromite, garnet and zircon, and may be followed by production of magnetite, staurolite, rutile, ilmenite and possibly gold. Our market strategy may change from time to time in response to changing market conditions and new information about the mineral deposits available to ORC.

This lease expired on May 20, 2002 and is presently subject to renegotiation with the beneficiary Patsy Murphy.
Project Overview
     We have leased and geologically mapped five of the eleven known diatremes in the district situated in southern Illinois and northern Kentucky. The leases cover five volcanic features known as diatremes, within which heated fluids have deposited anomalous concentrations of certain advanced metals. The results confirm the existence of geochemical anomalies. While no commercially exploitable deposits of advanced metals or any other deposits have been identified to date, we believe that these anomalies warrant the expenditure of further funds to explore the district for deposits of zinc and base metals. Dynamex is currently engaged in defining areas which may be of interest for further exploration and acquisition.
     In May 2006 Dynamex engaged O. Jay Gatten, of North American Exploration, based in Utah, as a consultant to evaluate for the purposes of exploration, properties controlled by Dynamex. In February 2007, Dynamex commenced an exploration drilling program focused on delineating the extent of previously identified zinc mineralization on the controlled properties in northern Kentucky. Drilling is warranted to confirm the existence of mineralization at depth and determine the existence of resources on previously mined properties. The current program is ongoing with a total of 25 holes expected to be drilled. The data derived as a result of this program will provide information to determine whether subsequent work is warranted.
Geology of Shawnee District Exploration Targets
     The Shawnee District apparently formed within a rift in the otherwise stable crust of the central North American continent (an “intracratonic rift”). Virtually all mineralization, including fluorite and advanced metals, occurs along steep, rift-related faults, formed during the Cretaceous Period (approximately 135 million to 63 million years before the present). More particularly, the advanced metals mineralization appears to be localized in breccia pipes along the diatremes.
     Diatremes are more or less cylindrical and vertical zones in the upper earth’s crust in which the rocks are fragmented by the explosive actions of hot gases and fluids breaking through toward the surface

26


Table of Contents

from layers below the earth’s crust known as the earth’s mantle. The hot fluids carry dissolved metals from deep within the mantle. As the rising fluids cool, they tend to deposit contained metals in or on the rocks closer to the surface. Such deposition may be enhanced by the presence in the breccia of particularly reactive rocks such as limestone. Deposition of metals and other minerals such as fluorite, carbonate and silica within the breccia tends to re-cement the rock fragments together into solid rock, which includes metals and other minerals in the filled voids between rock fragments. Other known advanced metal deposits around the world are hosted in vertical breccia pipes or diatremes.
History and Exploration to Date
     The Shawnee District has been known for its fluorite and lead occurrences for 150 years. The earliest mining activity in the Shawnee District began with the production of lead in 1842 and, later, fluorite in the 1870s. Advanced metal occurrences in the Shawnee district have received only limited attention since their initial discovery by St. Joseph Lead Company in 1952. In excess of 400 meters (1,300 feet) of fluorite-cemented breccia was intersected in a shallow oil well drilled at the center of Hicks Dome.
The Moodie Agreement
     By an agreement dated April 21, 1992 between Moodie and us, we agreed to combine our aeromagnetic data with Moodie’s aeromagnetic data. Pursuant to a subsequent agreement dated January 18, 1993, between Moodie and us, Moodie assigned all of its rights, title and interest in and to the leases referred to in the table below to us in consideration of the payment, upon work performed, of professional consulting fees at the rate of U.S. $320 per day with a maximum fee of U.S. $6,400 per month plus reasonable expenses, the issuance of options to purchase up to 15,000 of our Common Shares, a 5% net profits royalty, 5% of the profit derived from the sale by us of any of the properties and a 5% finder’s fee with respect to all financing activities on the Kentucky Property resulting from the introduction by Moodie. This agreement superseded the April 21, 1992 agreement between Moodie and us.

          On May 27, 1997, an addendum to the agreement of April 21, 1992 was entered into, covering a Second Area of Interest, in the County of Crittenden, in the State of Kentucky. This Second Area of Interest covers the following areas of mineral ownership:
    An inherited interest in Salem Fluorspar Corporations mineral rights near Smithland, Livingston County, Kentucky (approximately 1,200 acres)
 
    Shouse Skelton mineral rights between Joy, Kentucky and Carrsville, Livingston County, Kentucky (approximately 1,000 acres)
 
    Inherited Fritz mineral rights, Crittenden County, Kentucky, near the Columbia Mine (approximately 60 acres)
 
    Junior mineral rights near Mary Belle mine, Crittenden County, Kentucky (approximately 40 acres)
          Within this Second Area of Interest, Moodie have been granted a 10% interest in any income received from a third party in the event of a sale to a third party, and 10% of the net profit derived from the Second Area of Interest
          On April 8, 1999, a further amendment was entered into to extend the Area of Interest to encompass in their entirety the Counties of Crittenden and Livingston in the State of Kentucky and the Counties of Hardin, Pope and Saline in the State of Illinois with the exception of certain properties acquired by Moodie through inheritance and personal acquisitions set forth in the table above.
          In November 2006, we entered into a Letter Agreement which constitutes the principle terms and conditions of a Final Agreement between the parties which supersedes all previous agreements excepting the terms of non-compete and confidentiality. The principle terms of the agreement are that Moodie receives $6,000 cash, 110,000 shares of the common stock of the Company, and $3,000 paid semi-annually beginning July 1, 2007 until a Bonus Payment of $100,000 is paid to Moodie. The Bonus Payment is determined upon the Company reaching a production decision defined as the point in time when the Company determines through a comprehensive feasibility study that certain of the controlled property may be placed into commercial production. The Company may, at its sole discretion, make the bonus payment at any time prior to December 31, 2012, and specifically undertakes to make the bonus payment if it enters into a “farm out” agreement with a third party for the future development of the project.
Previous Exploration — Kentucky
          We have acquired the previous exploration records of Moodie with respect to the Kentucky property. In 1993, we had a partnership with Kennecott Exploration Company and conducted aeromagnetic surveys, ground geophysics surveys, field mapping, stream sediment sampling and drilling holes. Upon withdrawal by Kennecott from the project, this information was turned over to us.
3. The Cadillac West Project
          Pursuant to the CWE Agreement, the Cadillac West Project property was acquired by CWE, now Cadallic Mining Corporation in which we hold approximately 27.82% of the voting stock. For the purpose of accounting, Cadallic Mining Corporation is treated as an investment and consolidated on our consolidated financial statement under the equity investment accounting method. The Cadillac West property covers approximately 12,750 hectares in Beauchastel, Dasserat and Rouyn Townships, and lie immediately west of the mining center of Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec. Cadallic owns outright 306 claims covering 10,565 hectares; and holds an option to earn a 50% interest from Richmont Mines Inc. in a

28


Table of Contents

further 2185 hectares in 77 claims that surround the Francoeur mining concession (the “Richmont Option”). The Richmont Option was acquired by Andre Audet and Victor Erickson from the Richmont Mines Inc. of Rouyn-Noranda Quebec pursuant to a letter agreement dated April 30, 2004. Pursuant to the CWE Agreement, Andre Audet and Victor Erickson agreed to assign the Richmont Option to CWE. The majority of the CWE’s claims were staked in 2002 at the end of the bear cycle in the gold market.
     The Richmont Option was acquired by CWE early in 2004 to diversify the types and risk of the CWE’s exploration targets. In November 22, 2005, the Richmont Option was partitioned into two separate entities, namely Norcoeur and Lac Fortune. Either or both options may be terminated without penalty at any time by Cadallic should results or circumstances warrant.
     The Norcoeur Option is comprised primarily of the Arntfield and Arncoeur properties which represent respectively eastern and western extensions of the Francoeur Shear. The southern half of the Arntfield property produced 530,000 tons at 0.12 oz/ton, mostly prior to World War II.
     The Lac Fortune Option hosts the oldest known deposit in the region, dating to 1907. Underground exploration under the direction of Richmont has defined a currently uneconomic resource of 250,000 tons grading 0.16 oz/ton. The southern limit of this option also covers about five kilometers of the Cadillac Break.
General Geology & Exploration
     The Cadillac West Project is located within the Noranda volcanic complex, which is part of the Archean Abitibi Greenstone Belt. This complex is bounded to the north by the Porcupine-Destor Fault and on the south by the Cadillac-Larder Lake Fault. It is comprised of the geochemically distinct Stoughton-Roquemaure mafic to ultramafic units, Kinojévis tholeiitic units, and the Blake River calc-alkaline group. Together, the sequences form a volcanic pile twenty-five kilometers thick.
     Gold mineralization in the region is controlled primarily by major crustal sutures that mark the traces of Archean subduction zones. The Cadillac Break, also referred to as the Cadillac – Larder Lake, Malartic – Larder Lake Deformation Zone and Cadillac Tectonic Zone, traces the boundary between an Archean volcanic land mass on the north and an oceanic plate to the south. The southern plate comprised of Pontiac Sediments was driven beneath the volcanic terrains to the north at about 2700 ma. Volcanism related to the waning stage of this activity introduced granitic bodies (syenites and tonalities) along the trace of the Cadillac Break and along parallel second-order shears for up to several kilometers north of the parent structure. These volcanic centers, now marked by deeply eroded stocks, dykes and plugs, are scattered along the entire length of the Cadillac Break.
     The mineralizing events spanned several million years, beginning during the late stages of felsic volcanism and continued through a period of crustal adjustment that created fracture systems to accommodate fluid migration. Gold deposits are found mainly in second- and third-order structures in the volcanics within a few kilometers north of the Cadillac Break. Typical gold deposits, including the Sigma, Lamaque, Camflo and Kiena Mines, which tend to be medium-sized, individually produced between one to four million ounces. Large complex deposits found directly in or very near the Cadillac Break include the Malartic, Kerr Addison, Kirkland Lake and Doyon – Bousquet – LaRonde Mines, each producing in excess of 7 million ounces. With few exceptions, gold deposits are intimately associated with felsic intrusives that mark the centers of late-stage volcanic events.
     The only section of the Cadillac Break that has not been extensively explored lies west of Noranda where a 35-km section is covered by a layer of early Proterozoic sediments preserved by down-faulting. It extends eastward from the 11+ million-ounce Kerr Addison Mine at Virginiatown, Ontario, to

29


Table of Contents

the western boundaries of the Noranda camp, which itself has produced roughly 18 million ounces of gold. The covering sediments occupy a depression of undetermined but possibly modest depth and form a ridge of prominent hills rising 150 to 200 meters above the Archean plateau. The total depth of cover is clearly variable since a three-kilometer long Archean outcropping that includes the Guinard syenite stock occupies an “island” in Cobalt sediments directly on the projection of the Cadillac Break. Also, while Cobalt cover is known to extend to depths of several hundred meters near the Ontario border and the nearby Milky Creek Fault, CWE drilling north of the Guinard target encountered only 37m (vertical thickness) of the cover.
          The Archean basement located in the Francoeur Mine region is influenced by both the Guinard syenite to the south and the Aldermac Intrusive to the north. The area is host to synvolcanic rhyolite-hosted VMS base metal deposits and to shear-hosted gold mineralization. The Aldermac Mine produced 34,000 tons of copper from 2.1 million tons of ore, while the combined past production, reserves and resources for gold deposits situated along the 10 km corridor related to the Francoeur and Wasamac structures amounts to 1.5 million ounces. Gold mines occupy second-order structures that are nearly certain to tap the Cadillac Break at depth. The timing of mineralization and its relationship to nearby last stage syenitic plutons has not been studied. However, the idealized north-south section drawn from the Cadillac Break to the Francoeur Mine demonstrates the possible relationship between the deep-seated Cadillac Break and second-order mineralized structures in the region.
          The southern half of the Arntfield property, in addition to limited historical gold production, has seen semi-methodical (mainly tax-shelter) drilling for well documented north-dipping shear-hosted mineralization. However, the potential for economically attractive steeply south-dipping vein mineralization remains largely unexplored, as is the northern half of these claims.
          Modern exploration on the Lac Fortune property as described above has focused primarily on developing the modest resource identified in the 1980’s in a series of moderately dipping mineralized shears. However, investigations have stopped short of the search for feeder systems.
Cadillac West Project Exploration
Summer 2004
          During the summer of 2004, Cadillac conducted a CAD $380,000 exploration program on its 100%-owned claims to meet Ministry of Natural Resources assessment work requirements, and to provide the basis for further exploration, particularly to define drill targets on the Cadillac Break.
In summary the program comprised:
    a helicopter-borne magnetic survey by McPhar Geosurveys Ltd. covering all of the property including the Richmont Option;
 
    a time-domain helicopter-borne electromagnetic (THEM) survey performed by McPhar over the Dasserat North, Gan and the northernmost Kekeko claims;
 
    a lithogeochemical outcrop sampling program in the relic Proterozoic Cobalt sediments on the Kekeko and Kanasuta claim groups overlying both traces of the duplexed Cadillac Break;
 
    a satellite image and airphoto structural analysis by Meridian Mapping covering primarily the smaller, scattered claim groups in central and eastern Beauchastel Township; and

    prospecting and mapping of the Kekeko and Dasserat North claim groups.
High Resolution Magnetic Survey
          The magnetic survey provided a pseudo-lithology map which has enhanced the understanding of the geological and structural features of Archean strata north of the Cadillac Break, but more importantly yielded information on the unexplored basement geology obscured by the Proterozoic Cobalt sediments along the Cadillac Break. Preliminary Interpretation of survey data by a McPhar geophysicist identifies a number of syenitic intrusive centres along the southern branch of the duplexed Cadillac Break. These are inferred from anomalies that extend from the Dasserat Township boundary easterly, through the Guinard intrusive, to south-central Beauchastel Township. The magnetic survey also shows several groups of cross-cutting fault systems linking the two branches of the Cadillac Break.
Lithogeochemical Survey
          The Summer 2004 lithogeochemical program sampled 2233 Cobalt sediment outcrops on the Kekeko and Kanasuta claim blocks with the objective of identifying leakage of late-stage mineralization from the underlying Archean basement. All samples, at least 1 kg in size, were trimmed with a diamond saw to remove any surface contamination, shipped to Vancouver, and were analyzed for gold, silver and related trace elements at Acme Laboratories. While values were generally low (as anticipated) several multi-element anomalies stand out. These are located either directly over or in close proximity to intrusive centres previously identified or implied by the magnetic profiles, particularly in association with the Guinard, and other suspected intrusions to the east.
          Late in 2004 an additional 276 rock samples were taken on the Richmont claims located immediately west of Cadallic ground, from the Guinard intrusive and its western extension. Preliminary evaluation shows a zone of elevated gold, barium and tungsten values extending eastward from the trace of DDH RO-01 for roughly 600 meters to the boundary of 100% Cadillac claims, and continuing for an additional 1600m eastward as a multi-element anomaly.
Electomagnetic Survey
          The deep-penetrating helicopter-borne E-M survey was conducted on limited portions of the property where geological conditions were favourable for VMS deposits. Results show a number of weak to moderately strong conductors. These will be fully assessed and interpreted following a complete compilation of historical data for the areas.
Winter 2004
          The Winter 2004 drilling program on the Richmont Option was conducted to meet two principal objectives:
    commence preliminary drilling to test the proposed deposition models, that is: explore for structure and mineralization related to the Guinard syenitic intrusive, but obscured by Proterozoic sediments along the Cadillac Break test for feeder systems related to the Lac Fortune deposit;
 
    test for south-dipping vein- or other shear-hosted mineralization in the Arntfield and Arncoeur areas; and

    commence fulfillment of the $500,000 exploration commitment made in respect of the Richmont Option.
          A total of 2496 meters of BQ calibre core was recovered from seven holes, details of which are tabulated below. All of the proposed Richmont targets were tested except for the Arncoeur, with promising results, as discussed below under the respective headings.

Exploration Targets & Drilling Results
     Targets that have been selected for further exploration cover the full spectrum of geological potential. Those located directly on or immediately adjacent to the Cadillac Break are obscured by overlying Cobalt sediments. Current focus is on the Kanasuta and Kekeko regions where magnetic and coincident geochemical anomalies imply a potential for syentite-hosted gold mineralization. The southwestern section of the Richmont Option located along the Cadillac Break is similarly prospective and will be examined in due course.
     Shear-hosted systems mined at the Francoeur and Arntfield deposits are also of particular interest at the present time. These follow shears striking either or slightly northeast or northwest and, prior to 1990 gold was found only along 35 and 50 deg. north-dipping shears. These are historically reported to be controlled in part by stratigraphy; and marked by very fine-grained brick-red alteration containing fine pyrite grains with very little quartz. Accordingly, virtually all surface drilling has been directed north to south, usually at 50 deg. off the horizontal, with the exception of a limited number of vertical holes.
     In the early 1990’s, Richmont Mines Inc., exploring from underground, discovered a structurally controlled south-dipping gold system with mineralogical features similar or identical to those seen in the north-dipping structure. This discovery was significant to the economics of Richmont’s operations at the Francoeur Mine. The presence of mineralized south-dipping structures presents the possibility that similar systems will be found on strike from the mine area and on parallel structures in the region generally. The geometric relationship between the two shear systems suggests the possibility that moderately north-dipping zones form as ladder shears structurally bound and controlled by steeply south-dipping faults plumbing the system from depth. Extending this concept east and west to the Arncoeur and Arntfield sectors respectively, and south to the Lac Fortune deposit offers exploration potential not considered by earlier workers. Targets on the Francoeur-Arntfield shear system will demand far less initial exploration commitment than those on the Cadillac Break, and if successful, will benefit from extensive mining infrastructure already in place.
     Other less-developed targets on the Cadillac’s claims include a strong but poorly explored shear zone on the Gan claims and under-explored base potential on the North Dasserat ground.

     Three of the eight principal exploration targets discussed below, were developed as a result of the acquisition of the 50% option on the Richmont Mines Inc. claims. Target #1A straddles the boundary between 100%-owned CWE claims and the Richmont Option, and was developed in part from analysis of Richmont data and geology, augmented by results of the aeromagnetic and lithogeochemistry surveys described above.
Target #1 – Cadillac Break:
#1A — Guinard
     This target was briefly explored prior to 1940 by shallow drilling, surface trenching, and a 65 ft shaft. Quartz stringers carrying pyrite, chalcopyrite and minor gold were reported from a syenite porphyry plug and a related dyke. The plug is exposed in sub-cropping over an area about 800m in diameter on an “island” of Archean strata that protrudes through Proterozoic sediments on the southernmost claims optioned from Richmont. However, the magnetic data shows it forms an irregular massive body at depth that extends at least a km east and west from the outcropping. To the east, the intrusive extends well onto 100% Cadallic ground where results from rock geochemistry show a well-defined multi-element anomaly. This section of the Cadillac Break is unexplored except for a small amount of near-surface drilling conducted in the distant past.
     This is a particularly compelling target because felsic intrusives within the Cadillac Break are always mineralized to some degree. Gold mineralization in the Malartic camp is closely associated with syenitic stocks and dykes over a strike length of 10 kilometers. The East Sullivan stock near Val d’Or carries a large number of strong gold showings and hosts the East Sullivan VMS deposit.
     DDH RO-01 was drilled in February 2005 near the southern limit of the Richmont claims on the south shore of Lac Renault to test a section of the Cadillac Break where it forms a broad shear-zone that incorporates the Guinard syenite intrusive. It was collared in Proterozoic sediments in line with the geometric center of outcropping syenite to the south. From the collar location, it was estimated that a 700-meter long hole would cut about half the stock if it proved to dip vertically, and that it would effectively cut the entire body if it followed regional stratigraphic trends seen in Archean strata to the north.
     Archean basement was intersected at a depth of 57 meters, beneath which syenite and feldspar porphyry intrusives alternate with mafic volcanic rocks and metasediments for the remainder of the hole (732 meters). The core shows strong to intense pyritic mineralization and silicification over more than 300m in all country rocks. Shearing ranges from moderate to strong as a pervasive foliation, with a few locally intensely sheared structures.
     Syenites display strong to moderate reddish hematite alteration similar to that seen in Kirkland Lake mines to the west. Pyrite increases with hematite alteration but gold values remained low even where elevated pyrite was encountered over significant intervals. Elevated pyrite is seen in silicified volcanics and in the sediments as well. However none of these carry significant gold values except for a few short intersections. It is evident that these rocks were subjected to strong hydrothermal alteration over a true width of at least 300 meters.
     In light of the broad zone of strong hydrothermal alteration encountered, the low gold values are disappointing. However, the size and strength of the alteration zone is impressive. This system has not been tested previously and remains open westward along a linear magnetic anomaly and eastward where

33


Table of Contents

anomalous gold values are seen in the geochemical survey conducted late last year. Consequently, several additional deep tests are warranted.
#1B – West Kekeko
     This very prominent target in the Kekeko block is completely underlain by Cobalt sediments. It is located on the north flank of a magnetically inferred intrusive on the south trace of the Cadillac Break, where basement magnetic response suggests a convergence of inferred faulting from the northwest and a linear cross-structure from the northeast. The 2004 lithogeochemical survey shows a well defined multi-element anomaly at this location that is best explained as leakage from a mineralized center in the underlying Archean strata.
#1C –Central Kekeko
     This target is completely covered by Cobalt sediments where differential erosion has left a broad ridge terminated to the north and south by abrupt cliffs, and lies south of the long exploratory hole drilled by Globex in 2001 that bottomed about 500m north of the CWE boundary. Results of the Globex hole were significant in that it detected elevated gold values in altered syenite near the bottom of the hole. The target is centered on a multi-element geochemical anomaly measuring about 1.5km in diameter that coincides with a disrupted magnetic anomaly.
#1D — Kanasuta
     The Kanasuta target is situated on the margins of a major volcanic center marked by a syenite stock known to host broad gold-bearing alteration zones, and lies on the projected trace of the Cadillac Break where the covering Cobalt sediments have been exceptionally resistant to erosion. The area is dominated by Mt. Kanasuta which probably lies above a major hydrothermal center that remained active while the early Proterozoic sediments were deposited. These claims are near the south margin of a large syenite intrusive located in Ranges 4 and 5 that is likely to extend beneath the sediments underlying at least part of the property.
     A cross-structure indicated by stratigraphy and a well defined ridge extending to the southwest serves to focus a relatively small area as a primary target. Details of the cross-structure are obscured by the Cobalt cover. However, the strong north-east striking embayment of the sediments immediately to the north suggests faulting parallel to the Milky Creek Fault (situated to the west and possibly associated with the Kerr Addison deposit), and to the adjacent well defined gabbro sill that also extends northeasterly. It is likely that preferential erosion of the Archean basement along a broad zone of fault-controlled hydrothermal alteration preserved the Cobalt sediments in this location.
     Recent drilling near the southwest margins of the syenite stock produced a large number of economic to sub-economic gold intersections, including 110m at 1.0 g/t. Drilling extended beneath the Cobalt cover and intersected significant copper and zinc values over 3m in acid volcanic rocks near the north boundary of the target area.
     Further interpretation of the magnetic and lithogeochemical survey results is required prior to spotting of drill locations.
Target #2 – Lac Fortune
     Mineralization is related to a broad shear zone striking roughly east-west on the north side of Lac Renault and extending westward under Lac Fortune. Discovery of a mineralized shear zone dates to

34


Table of Contents

1907, one of the earliest discoveries in the region. In 1934, a shaft was sunk to explore a 6-12 ft wide shear zone carrying narrow quartz veins associated with carbonate alteration. Drilling identified mineralization over 500 ft of strike with an average width of 3.6 ft between the 300 and 500 ft levels, at an estimated grade of 0.513 oz/ton. Underground drifting exposed discontinuous veins carrying spectacular free gold.
     Richmont Mines drove a decline to a vertical depth of 100m in 1987-88, delineating a sub-economic resource of about 250,000 tons at 0.16 oz/ton. A 10,000-ton bulk sample taken in 1997 yielded only 0.10 oz/ton from quartz mineralization containing coarse free gold. Geologic sections prepared by Richmont Mines based largely on its drilling show a series of stacked, gently dipping quartz veins over a maximum width of about 50 meters.
     Exploration of this target will focus on expanding the existing resource by investigating controls to the host structure. It is notable that, as is the case at the Francoeur, virtually none of the previous surface drilling has been oriented from south to north, thereby minimizing the likelihood of intersecting any undetected south-dipping mineralization. Further, it is speculated that bounding or controlling sub-vertical structures limit the known system to the north and south. If confirmed, this will suggest a model with depth potential on a system of stacked parallel zones.
     As an initial test of this model, DDH RO-02 was drilled northward from the north edge of Lac Renault to test strata underlying the Lac Fortune vein system for controlling sub-vertical structures. Strongly anomalous gold values were obtained from semi-continuous sampling over more than 300m in a north-dipping mylonitic shear intersected at a shallow angle below the defined resources. This structure is moderately to well-mineralized with both concordant and discordant narrow carbonate dominant stringers that are relatively rich in pyrite. A section intersected between 124.65m and 131.30m averages 7.0g/t Au over 6.65m, including a high-grade zone of 17.5g/t over 2.35m. Notably, this intercept differs markedly from the quartz vein-hosted coarse gold environment seen in the Lac Fortune resource. This, and the absence of a visible alteration envelope suggest a possible transition to a different style of mineralization at depth.
     Near the collar, DDH RO-02 intersected the up-dip section of the lowermost vein of the Lac Fortune system (Road vein) at a core angle of 15 degrees over roughly 10 meters. The unit displays strong distinctive yellow sericite, is dominantly quartz-rich and is well pyritized locally where 4.9m graded 1.39 g/t.
     A short hole, DDH RO-03 was collared a few meters north of RO-02 and drilled southward under Lac Renault in order to complete the section. The area is underlain by uniform but moderately carbonate-altered basaltic volcanic strata in which a significant assay of 6.4 g/t was obtained from a narrow steeply dipping shear at 105 meters.
     Neither of these holes intersected sub-vertical structures likely to have influenced or controlled the low-angle gold structures forming the Lac Fortune deposit.
     On August 2nd 2006 Cadillac updated shareholders on an extensive drilling programme in progress at Lac Fortune. A total of 3716 metres was cored in six holes, completed to satisfy 2005 obligations deferred to May 2006, and to partly meet 2006 exploration requirements.
     One hole was drilled on the Lac Fortune prospect to explore potential below a previously identified minor non-43-101-compliant resource where a feeder system and deeper parallel shallow-dipping structures are suspected. DDH CM06-01, collared southward at –80 deg about 1.4km north of the north branch of the Cadillac break, deviated favourably, and was extended to test the break at depth.

35


Table of Contents

CM06-01 intercepted a number of geologically permissive structures, and numerous veins, shears and alteration zones containing geochemically anomalous to sub economic gold values. The best analytical results include 0.4m of 49.65gAu/t at 108m, 0.35m of 13.2gAu/t at 734m and 1.4m of 4.16 gAu/t at 1270m.The hole ultimately flattened to 45deg, and was terminated at 1652m where the rods jammed in strongly faulted ground after intersecting 20m of talc-chlorite schist. The last 0.8m interval, comprised of mineralized rubble, assayed 3.15gAu/t. This structure correlates well with the surface expression of the Cadillac Break. While the hole failed to return ore grade intercepts, it provides the only continuous geological profile on this segment of the Cadillac Break, and will serve to focus future exploration in the area. Cadillac is considering down-hole geophysics and may elect to extend the hole by wedging past the problem area.
     A previously unknown broad graphitic horizon containing significant semi massive sulphides was also intersected near the bottom of the hole. While this zone does not locally contain economic values, the structure will be investigated by geophysical methods over coming months.
     In summary DDH CM06-01 provided very valuable information on the Cadillac Break, which is the main focus of the Cadillac’s exploration initiative.
Target #3 –Arntfield
     The Arntfield Mine operated between 1935 and 1942, producing 530,000 tons of ore at an average grade of about 0.12 oz/ton from three shafts, one of them to a depth of 1000 ft. Closure was partially due to problems caused by WW2, but attempts to restart operations in 1945 failed. Target #3 covers a group of claims that had been the core of the original Arntfield property, and is now part of the claim group held by Richmont Mines as the “Norex Property”.
     The Arntfield-Francoeur mineralized zone consists of a semi-continuous shear system that strikes roughly east-west and dips 45 degrees north. The structure divides into at least two sets of sub-splays and extends onto the CWE 100% claims on the southeast. Mineralization is confined mainly to mylonitic schists containing little to no traditional quartz veining. The host ‘schists’ (shear zones) attain widths of up to 100 ft. Shearing tends to follow stratigraphy along brittle rhyolites on the Arntfield property while a similar relationship exists on the eastern part of the Francoeur property. Historical records dating to the late 1930’s show that gold mineralization is intimately related to alteration confined to this shear and associated splays. A characteristic red hematite-rich quartz-carbonate-pyrite gangue is common to all gold mineralization in this system. Though the dominant mineralizing event appears related to the north-dipping system described above, early work on the Francoeur Mine showed that significant mineralization was sometimes associated with a steeply south-dipping set of shear zones. However, these were not recognized as significant at the time and nearly all historical drilling focused on mineralization controlled by the north-dipping structures. It is significant that the productive south-dipping Zones 7-8 and Sud-Sud recently mined at the Francoeur were not recognized prior to 1993, and no work has been done on the Arntfield property subsequent to those discoveries.
     It is noteworthy that, with a single possible exception, none of the historical drilling on the Arntfield Property was directed south to north. Drilling conducted in the 1980’s by Noranda Mines was oriented vertically. However, the strong foliation in this strata tends to redirect vertical holes, often with radical deviations. The down-hole survey method employed at that time sought to avoid problems related to magnetic compass-based systems by using a novel technique that has since been proven flawed. Consequently, the true position of intersections shown on section 628540E may differ significantly from their plotted location. The section shows upper and lower “Noranda” zones corresponding to intercept locations as plotted.

     The previously unrecognized south-dipping structure was the primary focus of the 2005 pilot program which comprised a two-hole, north-south section drilled 75m east of the Francoeur property boundary. Holes RO-04 and 05 were drilled northward to test for south-dipping structures that would likely have been missed or misinterpreted from earlier southward and vertically directed drilling programs.
     RO-04 intersected significant mineralization corresponding with the upper “Noranda” zone. However, strong mineralization intersected below this zone does not correspond with any previously known structure, and lies well to the north of the earlier Noranda drilling. This zone displays evidence of a sub-vertical component which suggests the possibility that two orthogonal structures intersect at this point (as indicated by red lines). The zone includes a section of strongly anomalous mineralization over more than 35 meters with a high-grade core zone grading 18.51g/t over 3.30 meters. This is well in excess of grades seen in previous drilling, while the intersection width is also very significant.
     This strong zone of mineralization, encountered at about 320 meters down-hole in RO-04, lies roughly on strike with the projection of the Francoeur #8 Zone, which dips steeply south. The intersection lies north of earlier work completed by Noranda Mines in the 1980’s and does not correlate well with historical data as it is presently interpreted. Consequently, it is possible that the intercept represents either a new zone of mineralization related to the sub-vertical #8 Zone, or it could be an off-set branch of the north-dipping system mined in the past at the neighbouring Francoeur and Arntfield Mines. Additional drilling is needed to determine the structural geometry and true widths, and the potential for economic mineralization down-dip and along strike. Both directions are open and have not been explored in the past.
     RO-05 followed the mineralized zone (mylonitic shear) down-dip for about 100 meters from 115 meters down-hole. Intensity of mineralization in this zone is weak, and assays were correspondingly low. This part of the structure represents the down-dip extension of the old Arntfield workings but nothing was observed in core to explain the transition to sub-economic mineralization.
     DDH RO-06 and 07 were drilled southward to test shallow mineralization intersected in a 1936 drill hole located a short distance east of mined-out workings in the Arntfield #3 shaft area. This zone lies some 1000 meters east of Holes 04 and 05 but occupies the same stratigraphically- controlled north-dipping shear system.
     Mineralization encountered in RO-06 displays strong hematite alteration similar to that which produced high gold values in RO-04 on two parallel zones. However, neither of these returned significant gold assays with the exception of a poorly recovered sheared quartz vein encountered near the top of the hole. This structure, which does not appear to correspond with results of 1936 drilling, gave 2.36 g/t over a core length of 2.5 meters. It is possible that collar locations for historical drilling are not correctly positioned on available maps.
     Hole RO-07 shows strong mineralization over much of its length but analytical results indicate that gold mineralization is selective. A well defined shear zone at about 60m down-hole gave an average grade of 1.69g/t over 5.5m. This zone may correspond with similar results seen in R0-06.
     The immediate area has not been explored except for a few shallow holes from the 1930’s and widely spaced drilling by Noranda in the 1980’s. Mineralization in the two CWE holes is extensive and confirms the need to continue exploration on strike to the east and at depth. In addition, a broad zone of strongly carbonated sericite schist seen in both RO-06 and 07 is of interest as a potential host to Aldermac-related massive sulphides.

     On August 2, 2006, Cadillic announced that the Arntfield prospect was tested with four holes, CM06-03 through –06, to further investigate a 3.3m intersection carrying 18.45gAu/t in DDH RO-05-04 completed in 2005. The prospective south dipping structure appears to have been intersected approximately 80m up-dip in CM06-03, but the structure is relatively weak, assaying 5.40 gAu/t over 0.6m.
     On April 20, 2007 Cadillac announced the results from its three hole, 1997 metre winter drilling program on the Arntfield no2 mine area situated within the Norcoeur option claims.
     Core holes CM07-21 and 22 were drilled south at –60 degrees to intersect the Arntfield-Francoeur shear up and down plunge from a strongly mineralized zone cut in early 2005 by drill hole DDH R005-04 that returned 3.3 metres averaging 18.45g Au/tonne. This structure consists of a broad NE-plunging zone that remains open down-plunge.CM07-23 was collared about 200 metres east of CM07-22, and drilled southward at –60 degrees to test the down-dip extension of the deepest ore zone in the Arntfield no2 shaft workings.
     DDH CM07-21 cut the target structure between 245 metres and 249 metres (down-hole), and returned 4.3g Au/t over 4.0 metres within a broad zone of strongly pyretic mineralization which averages 3.00g Au/t over 10.0 metres. The pierce point is situated about 40 metres up-dip from the earlier intercept in RO05-04.
     DDH CM07-22 cut the Arntfield structure at 393 metres depth where it assayed 5.08g Au/t over 1.0 metre. This intersection is situated approximately 150 metres down-plunge of the RO05-04 intercept.
     These two Cadillac Mining intersections are bracketed by significant drill intercepts in several holes completed between 1986 and 1989. The area of known mineralization measures about 200 metres by 100 metres in plan, and is open to the northeast.
     DDH CM07-23 intersected the Arntfield shear at 580 metres depth, about 200 metres down-dip from the deepest workings of the Arntfield no2 mine. However no economic values were returned.
     Cadillac has completed a digital compilation of its 2005-2007 drilling results, and all available historical Arntfield data. This information will be used to generate a comprehensive 3D model which will facilitate the analysis of all data produced since the early 1930’s.
Target #4 — Arncoeur
     The Arncoeur zone lies on the western extension of the Francoeur shear where it locally follows a rhyolite – andesite contact and is reported to contain quartz veins with visible gold. Early work showed surface assays of between 0.36 and 1.68 oz/ton over widths of one to three feet. Drill holes intersected grades of 0.10 to 0.17 oz/ton over lengths of 5 to 20 ft. There has been no recent work of consequence done in this area.
     The target shear extends over a strike length of more than two kilometers from the Francoeur property boundary and appears to divide into two distinct branches at a northwesterly trending cross fault. The Quebec Ministry compilation shows that all historical drilling was directed from north to south and consequently, it is unlikely that earlier workers will have intersected or recognized evidence of important south-dipping structures as host the “# 7” and “Sud-Sud” zones discovered at the Francoeur mine in the 1990’s.

38


Table of Contents

     A complete compilation of historical work, which is nearing completion, will be reviewed in conjunction with an analysis of the 2004 magnetic survey. A modest drilling program will assess priority targets and verify the geological model.
     On August 2, 2006, one reconnaissance hole CM06-07, was drilled across the western extension on the Arncoeur prospect. Results show a favourable geological environment but no significant analytical values were obtained. Additional work is planned as a follow up to favourable results reported in drilling conducted in the distant past.
Target #5 – Gan
     The Gan target is situated on the Gan fault where it crosses the offset lobe of a linear township-scale gabbro sill. The western edge of the property lies at the intersection of the Gan and an unnamed northwesterly striking cross-fault that trends through to the Aldermac mine in Beauchastel Township.
     The Provencher showings on Lots 2 to 4 of Range 7 reportedly show strong silicification in a broad carbonate-altered zone related to a small syenitic stock located on the projected trace of the Gan Fault. Recent drilling by Maude Lake Resources on the western edge of the stock intersected weak gold mineralization in strong alteration over 56 meters. There has been no drilling done along the fault trace to the east of the stock where the structure cuts the chemically favourable gabbro over nearly a kilometer. It is notable that the Francoeur gold structure was particularly productive in the gabbroic host strata, as was the New Senator deposit near Noranda.
Target #6 – Dasserat North
     The Dasserat North target in Ranges 6 and 7 focuses on a broad band of rhyolites with VMS base metal potential that strikes north to north-northwest. This stratigraphic unit forms a continuous horizon that can be traced across Dasserat and Beauchastel Townships to the Noranda mining district, and correlates well with the rhyolite host of the Aldermac VMS deposit in Beauchastel Twp. This band of acid volcanics has never been tested in Dasserat Twp. because conductive overburden masks all responses to electro-magnetic geophysical techniques. The high-resolution magnetic survey shows a strong anomaly on the north branch rhyolite located near the northeast corner of the claim block. This coincides with significant sulphide mineralization in nearby acid rock exposures and a weak coincident EM anomaly.
Additional Non-Assessed Targets
Wasa North and Wasa South:
     These blocks, comprising a total of 20 claims, are underlain by a complex of felsic and mafic volcanic rocks intruded by long, linear and steeply dipping gabbroic sheets. The associated synvolcanic faulting suggests a period of extensional tectonics that tends to explain the presence of pyrite-rich cherty horizons. While these structures show a relatively low base metal content, very little drilling was done to test their potential at depth. The potential for uncovering massive sulphide deposits on a series of favourable trends, including one hosting the former Aldermac mine is significant. Globex reported that at least five such horizons have been identified.
     The Wasa North and South blocks lie to the north and south of the major north-dipping shear zone that hosts the Francoeur and Wasamac gold deposits as discussed above. Richmont Mines recently released drilling results from the Wasamac Mine showing unusually high gold values over exceptional

widths at depths of roughly 450 metres. There are several similar magnetically prominent lineaments in the area that have not been adequately investigated.
Beauchastel East:
     This area is underlain mainly by acid to intermediate flows associated with felsic intrusions. These 13 claims are on strike with interesting gold and copper mineralization situated roughly a mile to the east, including the Abbeville and Pelletier Lake gold prospects in Rouyn Township.
     Magnetic patterns are consistent with the ENE regional stratigraphic fabric, however they are interrupted locally by a set of NW sub-linear features thought to be cross-faults expressed as magnetic lows. These are also evident as lineaments on the Landsat image for the area.
Rouyn-Noranda –Discovery of VMS Potential:
     On August 22, 2006 Cadillac announced the discovery of a stratiform and stratabound zone of mineralization near the city of Rouyn-Noranda in northwestern Quebec.
     The discovery was made in DDH CM06-10, one of a series of holes designed to test a 24km section of the Cadillac Break for gold and base metals. Mineralisation consists of strongly pyretic sericite schists, interbedded graphitic sediments and zones of semi-massive pyrite associated with narrow cherty beds. The zone was intersected over a core length of 300m, extending from 970m to 1270m, at which depth the hole was abandoned in bad ground. Preliminary samples, taken at random in lengths of 1.0 to 1.5m between 1228m and 1267m depth, yielded elevated values in copper, nickel and zinc, as tabulated below.
     The zone was intersected at a shallow angle to strata and was not completely transected. Consequently, no reliable estimate of true thickness can be made. However this horizon signals a substantial potential for volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) mineralization on strike from this intersection.

     As this discovery is covered by about 700m of cobalt sediments and the horizon does not outcrop, geophysical methods will be employed to determine the strength and orientation of the structure on strike and generate targets for subsequent drilling.
     Cadillac has completed three additional holes to test coincident magnetic-geochemical targets on the Cadillac Break, and three other priority targets are currently being drilled. Two of the completed holes did not intersect significant gold values, but did provide geological information essential to the program. The third, DDH CM06-01, was drilled to test a corridor of strong gold mineralization related to the

40


Table of Contents

Francoeur and Lac Fortune deposits. This hole was lost in bad ground where it intersected the principal trace of the Break at a depth of 1652m. However the final 80cm returned 3.15g/t gold. A follow up drill hole, CM06-17, was collared August 14, to test this zone up dip.
     Five additional exploration holes were completed to test varied targets on unexplored and under explored sectors of the Company’s holdings. Preliminary results do not indicate significant gold mineralization, but much of the analytical data has not yet been received.
     To date about 6700m of drilling has been completed in 14 holes, the first 7 of which were completed on the Richmont option.
     Management is encouraged by results received to date. The geologic environment is more complex than previously thought, but shows potential for both VMS base metal and gold deposits within and associated with the Cadillac Break. Cadillac is moving ahead with two diamond drills to test priority targets in an orderly program that maximizes available resources. The bulk of drilling along the Cadillac corridor is focused on blind anomalies concealed by up to 700m of cover. None of these anomalous zones have been tested in the past.
     On December 19,2006 Cadillac announced that fieldwork for an InfiniTEM Bore Hole Electromagnetic Survey has been completed by Abitibi Geophysique Inc of Val d’Or in DDH CM06-10. This broad mineralized zone was discovered beneath about 700m of uncomfortable younger Proterozoic sediments that have long discouraged exploratory drilling.
     In addition to surveying the bottom 600m of the 1300m hole, an 8.1 line km pilot InfiniTEM surface survey was conducted across a buried ridge striking south east from the drill hole. This feature is one of several cross trend paleo-topographic anomalies identified by advanced mathematical modeling of estimating depth to the Archean basement from aeromagnetic data. Preliminary results for this area suggest that a significant section of favourable basement strata will be well within range of the InfiniTEM surface survey.
     A similar reinterpretation of Cadillac’s airborne magnetic survey covering the full 24 kilometres of its holdings on the Cadillac Break is now in progress. This will help to develop a better understanding of favourable structural and lithological features hidden by the Proterozoic sediments along this segment of the historic 250km long structure.
ITEM 4A. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS
     Not applicable.
ITEM 5. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS
A. Operating Results
     This discussion and analysis of our operating results and financial position for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes thereto.
General
     Since its inception, we have been primarily engaged in the exploration of industrial minerals, metals and precious metals. We are currently in the development stage, for financial reporting purposes, and have had no revenue from operations. We have incurred, and for the foreseeable future expects to continue to

41


Table of Contents

incur, operating losses. These operating losses have resulted in an accumulated deficit, which will continue to increase until profitable operations are achieved. The capital necessary to fund our activities and short-term capital requirements has been raised through the sale of our Common Shares and debt financing.
Operating Results
December 31, 2006 compared to December 31, 2005
Revenue. We had no operating revenue for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 or December 31, 2005.
Expenses: Total expenditure in 2006 was CAD $3,105,860 against CAD $571,115 in 2005. The main expenditure was due to increased activity on the Oregon Mineral Sands Project where consultants were hired to design and build the initial processing plant for mineral sands. Furthermore, the increase in expenditure in 2006 was due to expensing of directors’ stock option awards totaling CAD $1,428,085 on options granted to directors which vest immediately during the financial period. The company also incurred management fees of CAD $828,009 following the announcement of a number of key appointments made at subsidiary companies.
Net Profit (Loss): The net profit in 2006 was CAD $2,111,071 against a net loss of CAD $436,240 in 2005. The net profit was principally due to the Company’s conclusion of the sale of its wholly owned subsidiary Oregon Resources Corporation to Industrial Minerals Corporation Ltd. on November 5, 2006 which resulted in a dilution gain on the share exchange transaction of IMC in the amount of CAD $4,995,107
December 31, 2005 compared to December 31, 2004
Revenue. We had no operating revenue for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 or December 31, 2004.
Expenses: Total expenditure in 2005 was CAD $571,115 against CAD $573,968 in 2004. Expenditure focused on the Oregon Project with the purchase of production assets and the appointment of consultants to advise the company on the extraction process for mineral sands at Coos Bay, Oregon.
Net Loss: The net loss in fiscal year 2005 decreased to CAD $436,240 from CAD $551,939 in 2004 reflecting the consolidation of CWE as a majority controlled interest and a resultant CAD $53,750 gain by us recorded in the profit and loss statement for the year.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rates
     A significant portion of our business is conducted in the United States dollar. However, we prepare our financial statements and reports in Canadian dollars. Furthermore one of our main majority controlled subsidiaries reports their financial results in Australian dollars. As a result, we are subject to exposure from movements in foreign currency exchange rates. We do not currently engage in hedging transactions designed to manage currency fluctuation risks. See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statement – Note 2. Foreign Currency Translation.

Table of Contents

Inflation
     Historically, inflation has not affected our business in the current locations where it is doing business and we do not expect it will in the future.
Interest Rate Sensitivity
     We are not currently subject to adverse movement in interest rates because our credit facilities are fixed at an interest rate of 8.0%. The credit facility agreement requires repayment of the entire loan balance on December 31, 2007. We do not currently engage in hedging transactions designed to manage interest rate fluctuation risks.
B. Liquidity and Capital Resources
     As of December 31, 2006, we had a working capital of CAD $4,477,015 an increase from a deficiency in working capital of CAD $380,417 in 2005. We have relied on the credit facility from Epsom and equity financing to support its operations.
     Currently, none of our properties are producing revenues and no revenues are anticipated in the near future. To provide working capital for its operations and project development, we need to raise new funds. Traditionally, we have raised capital through the issuance of Common Shares. It is contemplated that it will continue to raise capital primarily in private placements through investors. No assurance, however, can be given that our future capital requirements can be obtained. Our access to capital is always dependent upon future financial market conditions, especially those pertaining to venture capital situations such as mining exploration companies. There can be no guarantee that we will be successful in obtaining future financing, when necessary, on economically acceptable terms.
     For the year ended December 31, 2007, we believe that we will need significantly less cash to cover administrative costs due to two significant events that have occurred during the last financial year end of the Company. The first event was the sale of 100% of our interest in ORC to Rubirosa Limited, now renamed Industrial Minerals Corporation Ltd and listed on the ASX Exchange. Furthermore, our second subsidiary, CWE, completed its reverse takeover with Eclips Inc. (“Eclips”), a public company listed on the TSX Stock Exchange, which saw Eclips acquire entire share capital of CWE through the issue of Eclips shares to us in exchange. CWE has since been renamed Cadillac Mining Corporation. Both transactions were designed to enable these businesses to operate independently, and to raise their own capital without further recourse to us and is accounted for as a subsidiary entity. We now operate as a resource and specialist mining investment company with the objective of holding significant stakes in mining entities where management believes there represents significant potential for capital appreciation as development of these interests occur.
     The particulars of all capital raising transactions since 1997 are detailed as follows:
     Financing activities over the past few years have reflected the investing activities expenditures. The majority of funds raised by us have consisted of the issue of Common Shares. Management expects that equity financing will continue to provide the majority of funds available to us for the ensuing twelve months. Although it is our intention to fund as much of the exploration program for the Oregon Mineral Sands Project and Shawnee Project by way of joint venture, we also expect to raise additional capital by the issuance of Common Shares. Except as expressly described in this Annual Report, we have no financing commitments from any third party and there are no assurances that the financing necessary to achieve the business objectives described herein will be available to us, or if available, that such financing will be on terms favorable to the current shareholders.

     On October 31, 1998, we completed a private placement with European investors and received cash in the amount of CAD $500,000 representing subscriptions received for the future issuance of 2,500,000 units. Each unit consisted of one common share and one common share purchase warrant entitling the holder to acquire an additional common share at CAD $0.25 until October 31, 2000 or CAD $0.30 up to and including October 31, 2001. These shares were issued on June 6, 2001.
     On March 12, 2001, we completed a private placement of 12,000,000 Common Shares for a total of U.S. $450,000.
     On August 3, 2004, we completed a further private placement of U.S. $648,000 with the issue of 3,600,000 shares and a share purchase warrant entitling the holder to purchase one share at U.S. $0.30 cents for a period of one year.
     On May 19, 2005, we closed a private placement which provided gross proceeds of U.S. $1,056,000 with the issue of 4,800,00 shares and a share warrant. Each two warrants entitle the holder to exercise for one common share at U.S. $0.30 cents for a period of two years from the closing date of this placement. The funds raised were used for the second stage exploration of the Cadillac West Project and for the ongoing development of the Oregon Mineral Sands Project.
     We also arranged a line of credit with a current maximum credit limit of U.S. $1,000,000, expiring on December 31, 2007 and bearing interest at 8% per annum. The collateral provided for this facility includes the shares held in our subsidiaries. At December 31, 2003, we were able to convert U.S.$ 500,000 of the outstanding debt into 3,094,060 shares. At December 31 2006 we were again able to convert U.S $ 632,895.16 of the outstanding debt into 1,808,272 shares and borrowing on this line of credit has now been significantly reduced to U.S. $108,074.
     Additional equity or debt financing will be required to enable us to complete the exploration and production of its properties, which includes investment in joint ventures and or further financing. No assurances can be given that we will be able to raise cash from additional financing efforts. If we are unable to obtain sufficient funds from future financing, or unable to complete its short-term financing, we may not be able to become profitable.
Subsequent Events
     During 2005, the Company completed a private offering of 4,800,000 units at U.S. $0.22 per unit, for total consideration of U.S. $1,056,000. Each unit consisted of one common share and one half (1/2) share purchase warrant. Each two warrant was eligible for exercise at U.S. $0.30 per share on or before February 28, 2007.
On February 28, 2007, all warrants were subsequently exercised by subscribers to this placement raising U.S. $720,000 for the Company.
On June 7, 2005, Martin Wood Associates, consultants to the Company, were offered 100,000 options exercisable at a price of U.S. $0.30. These options were exercised in June 2007.

Dilution of holding in Industrial Minerals Corporation
     During May 2007, Industrial Minerals Corporation (“IMC”) agreed a share placement to raise A $14,000,000. The share placement results in the issuance of 35 million shares at A $0.40 per share. The funds received from the share placement will be applied towards the capital and costs in bringing the Oregon Heavy Mineral Project into production and for additional working capital. This share placement results in RFI’s holding in IMC being reduced from 62.2% to 51.1%.
C. Research and Development, Patents and License, etc.
     In the fiscal years 2006, 2005, and 2004, we did not have any research, development or patent expenses.
D. Trend Information
     We must pay annual lease payments of approximately U.S. $16,400 for Oregon leases and U.S. $10,600 for Kentucky leases to maintain our current U.S. leases, and is committed to the finance of ongoing exploration expenditure on the Cadillac West Project. We are required to raise additional working capital through debt or equity, in order to be able to put our properties into production.
E. Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
     None.
F. Tabular Disclosure of Contractual Obligations
     None.

ITEM 9. THE OFFER AND LISTING
A. Price History of Shares
     Our Common Shares are listed in the United States on the National Association of Securities Dealers OTC Bulletin Board, under the symbol RFIVF.
     Our Common Shares were previously traded on the TSX Venture Exchange, formerly the Vancouver Stock Exchange (“VSE”), in British Columbia, Canada. On January 6, 1999, we voluntarily delisted from the VSE exchange following approval of the NASD in December 1998 to enable our shares to be traded on the NASD OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “RFIVF”. Prior to delisting from the VSE

Table of Contents

trading in our shares was halted following a cease trade order placed on us on May 6, 1998 by the British Columbia Securities Commission (“BCSC”) following the late filing of the audited annual statements for October 1997. This order was later revoked by the BCSC on July 10, 1998. However, we were unable to remove the trading halt on the shares on the VSE as wet did not meet the new minimum filing requirements for reporting issuers. This trading halt was not lifted due to the fact that we did not comply with or meet the regulators filing requirements. Ultimately, we obtained a partial lifting of the cease trade order to allow it to satisfy the filing requirements to apply for Non Reporting Issuer status in this jurisdiction. On August 15, 2001, the BCSC granted orders deeming us to have ceased to be a reporting issuer and removing the cease trade order.

Common Shares
     All issued and outstanding Common Shares are fully paid and non-assessable. Each holder of record of Common Shares is entitled to one vote for each common share so held on all matters requiring a vote of shareholders, including the election of directors. Shareholders are not entitled to cumulative voting for directors. The holders of Common Shares will be entitled to dividends on a pro-rata basis, if and when as declared by the board of directors.

liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of us, the holders of Common Shares are entitled to participate in the assets of us available for distribution after satisfaction of the claims of creditors.
Powers and Duties of Directors
     The directors shall manage or supervise the management of the affairs and business of the Company and shall have authority to exercise all such powers as are not, by the Company Act, Articles or Bye-laws, required to be exercised by the shareholder in a general meeting or prohibited by law.
     Directors serve for one year, until the next annual meeting of shareholders. In general, a director who is, in any way, directly or indirectly interested in an existing or proposed contract or transaction with us whereby a duty or interest might be created to conflict with his or her duty or interest director, shall declare the nature and extent of his or her interest in such contract or transaction or the conflict or potential conflict with his or her duty and interest as a director. Such director shall not vote in respect of any such contract or transaction with us, if the Chairman disqualifies him or her, and if he or she shall vote, his or her vote shall note be counted, but he or she shall be counted in the quorum present at the meeting at which such vote is taken. The shareholders at the general meeting shall determine the remuneration of the directors. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, directors shall be paid all expenses incurred in attending meetings or conducting business on our behalf.
     The directors may from time to time on our behalf; (a) borrow money in such manner and amount from such sources and upon such terms and conditions as they think fit; (b) issue bonds, debentures and other debt obligations; or (c) mortgage, charge or give other security on the whole or any part of the property and assets of us.
     Our directors are not required to be residents of Bermuda. There is no age limitation, or minimum share ownership, for our directors.
Shareholders
     An annual general meeting is to be held once in every year at such time and place as may be determined by the directors. Notice of the meeting must be given not less than twenty-one days, nor more than fifty. A quorum at an annual general meeting and special meeting shall be two shareholders. There is no limitation imposed by the laws of Bermuda or by our charter or other constituent documents on the right of a non-resident to hold or vote the Common Shares.
     In accordance with Bye-laws, directors shall be elected by an “ordinary resolution” which means (a) a resolution passed by our shareholders in general meeting by a simple majority of the votes cast in person or by proxy, or (b) a resolution that has been submitted to our shareholders who would have been entitled to vote on it in person or by proxy at a general meeting held by us and that has been consented to in writing by all of our shareholders entitled to be cast on it.
     The Bermuda law and Company’s Articles and Bye-laws do not contain provisions that would prevent or delay a change in control of us.
C. Material Contracts
     On July 10 2006, the Company announced the closing of the reverse takeover of its subsidiary Cadillac West Explorations, Inc. by Eclips Inc., Cadillac West Explorations, Inc. will continue its operations under the new name of Cadillac Mining Corporation and is now listed on the TSX market in Vancouver. Following this takeover and a further private placement to provide initial funding, Cadillac will have

23,873,132 shares outstanding, with the Company will own approximately 27.82%. The Company also own a further 1.44 million share warrants, exercisable to 30th November 2008 at CAD$ 0.24 a share. The shares and warrants owned by the Company are the subject of an escrow agreement, which will permit the Company full voting rights but limited liquidity through the release in stages over three years.
     On November 6 2006, the Company concluded the sale of its wholly owned subsidiary Oregon Resources Corporation (“ORC”) to Industrial Minerals Corporation Ltd. (“IMC”, formerly Rubirosa Limited). In total, 100 million shares were issued to the Company comprising 70 million ordinary shares and a further 30 million ordinary shares with a performance criteria. This represents approximately 62.2% ownership interest in IMC at the time of the closing. The hurdle is the achievement by ORC as recorded in its audited accounts for the financial year ending 31st December 2008 of net profit after tax of AUD $5,000,000. In the event that this hurdle is not achieved, these shares will be cancelled or bought back by Industrial Minerals Corporation.
     We entered into an asset purchase agreement with Mineral Recovery Systems, Inc. dated as of May 19, 2005, to purchase the Camden pilot plant for production for mineral concentrate from Oregon heavy mineral sands. The purchase price for the pilot plant was U.S. $215,000.
     We entered into an agreement (the “CWE Agreement”) with Victor Erickson and Andre Audet (“Erickson and Audet”) on June 3, 2004 to take assignment of 282 mineral claims comprising of approximately 9,450 hectares in Beauchastel and Dasserat Townships in the province of Quebec. Erickson and Audet have also signed an agreement with Richmont Mines Inc. of Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec pursuant to which Erickson and Audet, or their assignee, has a right to earn a 50% interest in two separate options in 77 claims covering approximately 2,185 hectares in Beauchastel and Dasserat Townships (the “Richmont Agreement”). Under the CWE Agreement with Erickson and Audet, the Erickson and Audet claims and the Richmont Agreement will be transferred to a newly incorporated company in the province of British Columbia called Cadillac West Explorations, Inc. As consideration for the assignment, Erikson and Audet will receive up to a total of 4,000,000 Common Shares of CWE, in addition to a royalty on production from any of the Erickson and Audet claims. We agreed to fund up to U.S. $1,000,000 to CWE. The CWE Agreement was subsequently amended on February 7, 2005. We, as majority shareholder in CWE, advanced $700,000 to CWE. During fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, this was converted into Common Shares of CWE at $0.10 per share for a total of 7,000,000 shares of CWE. In addition 1,400,000 share purchase warrants were granted as part of the consideration. Each share purchase warrant can be exercised for $0.25 per share of CWE until November 30, 2008.
     During 2005, CWE completed a private placement comprising of 600,000 special warrants which were issued at CAD $0.20 per special warrant. Each warrant converts to one share at the earliest of twelve months from the date of issuance or the fifth business day after a final receipt is issued by applicable securities in respect of a prospectus qualifying the conversion.
     On October 30 2005, CWE agreed to convert CAD $70,000 of debt owed to us into 350,000 shares of CWE at CAD $0.20 each. Therefore, at fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, we are the majority controlled owner of 7,566,986 shares in CWE, which represents a 27.82% interest.
     We entered into an addendum to credit facility agreement with Epsom Investment Services N.V., a company whose director is also one of our officers, dated February 22, 2006. The addendum extended the maturity date of a line of credit to December 31, 2007 and increased the line of credit from U.S. $500,000 to U.S. $1,000,000. The line of credit bears interest at 8% per annum and is secured by the shares of the Company’s subsidiaries.

     We entered into a service agreement with Philip Garratt dated May 17, 2004, pursuant to which we retained Philip Garratt as our Chief Executive Officer until May 17, 2005. The service contract was renewed for a further twelve months and most recently renewed for an additional twelve months. The principal terms of the contract are that Philip Garratt is paid a basic fee for the contract period of U.S. $100,000. Mr Garratt has since been retained by the Company as President and Chief Executive Officer and on June 8th 2006 he was awarded 2,500,000 options exercisable at a price of U.S. $0.35 with an expiry to 7th June 2011.
     We entered into a Letter Agreement with Boyce Moodie III dated November 3, 2006 which constitutes the principle terms and conditions of a Final Agreement between the parties which supersedes all previous agreements excepting the terms of non-compete and confidentiality. The principle terms of the agreement are that Moodie receives $6,000 cash, 110,000 shares of the common stock of the Company, and $3,000 paid semi-annually beginning July 1, 2007 until a Bonus Payment of $100,000 is paid to Moodie. The Bonus Payment is determined upon the Company reaching a production decision defined as the point in time when the Company determines through a comprehensive feasibility study that certain of the controlled property may be placed into commercial production. The Company may, at its sole discretion, make the bonus payment at any time prior to December 31, 2012, and specifically undertakes to make the bonus payment if it enters into a “farm out” agreement with a third party for the future development of the project.
D. Exchange Controls
     Control over foreign currency has existed in Bermuda since 1940 and is now governed by the Exchange Control Act of 1972, (the “Exchange Control Act”) and regulations promulgated thereunder and are administered by the Bermuda Monetary Authority (Foreign Exchange Control). The Exchange Control Act regulates foreign currency transactions between a resident of Bermuda and a non-resident of Bermuda. However, exempted companies, like us, are designated as “non-resident” for purposes of the Exchange Control Act, and as such, are entitled to maintain foreign currency bank accounts and to freely convert the balances in such accounts into currencies of other countries. Because exempted companies are designated as “non-resident” under the Exchange Control Act, consent from Foreign Exchange Control is required prior to incorporation. Prior consent of Foreign Exchange Control is also required to issue or transfer any share, debenture, or other security of an exempted company. General permission may be given to issue or transfer shares, or other securities, in connection with a public issue, which are to be freely transferable. We received Bermuda’s permission to transfer its shares, which may be traded on the OTC Bulletin Board.
E. Taxation
     There are no income, profits, capital gains, sale of goods, death, or inheritance taxes in Bermuda. Exempted companies, such as us, pay annual fees to the Bermuda government, which are determined by the amount of its share capital. Although the United States and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (on behalf of Bermuda) signed a mutual assistance and insurance tax agreement on July 11, 1986, the agreement does not provide for the withholding of taxes on the distribution of dividends to United States taxpayers. While the convention provides for the sharing of information, it primarily deals with the taxation of insurance premiums paid by United States residents to insurance companies domiciled in Bermuda.
Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences
     The following is a summary of United States federal income tax considerations material to a holder of Common Shares who is a United States citizen or resident or a United States domestic corporation who

56


Table of Contents

owns the Common Shares (“U.S. Investor”). The summary is of a general nature only and is not exhaustive of all possible income tax consequences applicable to U.S. Investors and does not address the tax consequences of U.S. Investors subject to special provisions of federal income tax law. This summary is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), Treasury regulations, court decisions and current administrative rulings and pronouncements of the United States Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) that are currently applicable, all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. There can be no assurance that future changes in applicable law or administrative and judicial interpretations thereof will not adversely affect the tax consequences discussed herein. Potential investors are advised to consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of acquiring, holding or disposing of the Common Shares in light of their particular circumstances. Since your United States federal income and withholding tax treatment may vary depending upon your particular situation, you may be subject to special rules not discussed below. Special rules will apply, for example, if you are:
    an insurance company;
 
    a tax-exempt organization;
 
    a financial institution;
 
    a person subject to the alternative minimum tax;
 
    a person who is a broker-dealer in securities;
 
    an S corporation;
 
    an expatriate subject to Section 877 of the Code;
 
    an owner of, directly, indirectly or by attribution, 10% or more of the outstanding Common Shares; or
 
    an owner holding Common Shares as part of a hedge, straddle, synthetic security or conversion transaction.
     In addition, this summary is generally limited to persons holding Common Shares as “capital assets” within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code and whose functional currency is the U.S. dollar. The discussion below also does not address the effect of any United States state or local tax law or foreign tax law. Prospective investors are advised to consult their own tax advisors with respect to their particular circumstances and with respect to the effects of state, local or foreign tax laws to which they may be subject.
Dividends
     For United States federal income tax purposes, the gross amount of a distribution, including any foreign withholding taxes, with respect to your Common Shares will be treated as a taxable dividend to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits, computed in accordance with United States federal income tax principles. For taxable years beginning before January 1, 2011, if you are a non-corporate taxpayer such dividends may be taxed at the lower applicable capital gains rate provided (1) certain holding period requirements are satisfied, (2) we are eligible for the benefits of the income tax treaty, and (3) we are not, for the taxable year in which the dividend was paid, or in the preceding taxable year, a “passive foreign investment company.” Non-corporate U.S. Investors are strongly urged to consult their own tax advisors as to the applicability of the lower capital gains rate to dividends received with

57


Table of Contents

respect to the Common Shares. Distributions in excess of our current or accumulated earnings and profits will be applied against and will reduce your tax basis in your Common Shares and, to the extent in excess of such tax basis, will be treated as gain from a sale or exchange of such Common Shares. You should be aware that we do not intend to calculate our earnings and profits for United States federal income tax purposes and, unless we make such calculations, you should assume that any distributions with respect to Common Shares generally will be treated as a dividend, even if that distribution would otherwise be treated as a return of capital or as capital gain pursuant to the rules described above. If you are a corporation, you will not be allowed a deduction for dividends received in respect of distributions on Common Shares, which is generally available for dividends paid by U.S. corporations.
     A dividend distribution will be treated as foreign source income and will generally be classified as “passive income” or, in some cases, “financial services income” for United States foreign tax credit purposes. For taxable years beginning after December 31, 2006, dividends will generally constitute “passive category income” but could, in the case of certain U.S. Investors, constitute “general category income.” The rules relating to the determination of the foreign tax credit, or deduction in lieu of the foreign tax credit, are complex and you should consult your own tax advisors with respect to those rules.
Dispositions of Common shares
     Subject to the discussion below of the consequences of being treated as a passive foreign investment company, gain or loss realized by a U.S. Investor (other than a 10-percent shareholder) on the sale or other disposition of Common Shares will be subject to United States federal income tax as capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between such U.S. Investor’s basis in the Common Shares and the amount realized on the disposition. In general, such capital gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Investor has held the Common Shares for more than one year at the time of the sale or exchange. If you are an individual, such realized long-term capital gain is generally subject to a reduced rate of United States federal income tax. Limitations may apply to your ability to offset capital losses against ordinary income.
     In general, gain from a sale, exchange or other disposition of the Common Shares by a U.S. Investor will be treated as U.S. source income. Therefore the use of foreign tax credits relating to any foreign taxes imposed upon such sale may be limited. You are strongly urged to consult your own tax advisors as to the availability of tax credits for any foreign taxes withheld on the sale of Common Shares.
Special United States Federal Income Tax Considerations
     Passive Foreign Investment Company. We have not been a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) for United States federal income tax purposes for prior taxable years and we believe that we will not be treated as a PFIC for the current and future taxable years, but this conclusion is a factual determination made annually and thus subject to change. We will be a PFIC with respect to a U.S. Investor if, for any taxable year in which such U.S. Investor held our Common Shares, either (i) at least 75% of our gross income for the taxable year is passive income, or (ii) at least 50% our assets are attributable to assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income. In each case, we must take into account a pro rata share of the income and the assets of any company in which we own, directly or indirectly, 25% or more of the stock by value (the “look-through” rules). Passive income generally includes dividends, interest, royalties, rents (other than rents and royalties derived from the active conduct of a trade or business and not derived from a related person), annuities, and gains from assets that produce passive income. Because we are not publicly traded as defined under the statute and regulations governing PFICs, and are not a controlled foreign corporation (“CFC”), we would apply the 50% asset test based on fair market values unless we elect to use the adjusted tax bases of our assets.

Table of Contents

     If we are a passive foreign investment company for any taxable year during which a U.S. Investor holds Common Shares the U.S. Investor will be subject to special tax rules with respect to:
    any “excess distribution” that the U.S. Investor receives on Common Shares, and
 
    any gain the U.S. Investor realizes from a sale or other disposition (including a pledge) of the Common Shares, unless the U.S. Investor makes a “mark-to-market” election as discussed below.
     Distributions the U.S. Investor receives in a taxable year that are greater than 125% of the average annual distributions the U.S. Investor received during the shorter of the three preceding taxable years or the U.S. Investor’s holding period for the Common Shares will be treated as an excess distribution. Under these special tax rules:
    the excess distribution or gain will be allocated ratably over your holding period for the Common Shares,
 
    the amount allocated to the current taxable year, and any taxable year prior to the first taxable year in which we were a passive foreign investment company, will be treated as ordinary income, and
 
    the amount allocated to each other year will be subject to tax at the highest tax rate in effect for that year and the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed on the resulting tax attributable to each such year.
     The tax liability for amounts allocated to years prior to the year of disposition or “excess distribution” cannot be offset by any net operating losses, and gains (but not losses) realized on the sale of the Common Shares cannot be treated as capital, even if the U.S. Investor holds the Common Shares as capital assets.
     A U.S. Investor of a passive foreign investment company may avoid taxation under the excess distribution rules discussed above by making a “qualified electing fund” election to include the U.S. Investor’s share of our income on a current basis. However, a U.S. Investor may make a qualified electing fund election only if we, as a passive foreign investment company, agree to furnish the shareholder annually with certain tax information. We do not presently intend to prepare or provide such information.
     Alternatively, a U.S. Investor of “marketable stock” in a passive foreign investment company may make a mark-to-market election for stock of a passive foreign investment company to elect out of the excess distribution rules discussed above. If a U.S. Investor makes a mark-to-market election for the Common Shares, the U.S. Investor will include in income each year an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the Common Shares as of the close of the U.S. Investor’s taxable year over the U.S. Investor’s adjusted basis in such shares. A U.S. Investor is allowed a deduction for the excess, if any, of the adjusted basis of the shares over their fair market value as of the close of the taxable year only to the extent of any net mark-to-market gains on the shares included in the U.S. Investor’s income for prior taxable years. Amounts included in a U.S. Investor’s income under a mark-to-market election, as well as gain on the actual sale or other disposition of the Common Shares is treated as ordinary income. Ordinary loss treatment also applies to the deductible portion of any mark-to-market loss on the Common Shares, as well as to any loss realized on the actual sale or disposition of the Common Shares, to the extent that the amount of such loss does not exceed the net mark-to-market gains previously included for such Common Shares. A U.S. Investor’s basis in the Common Shares will be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amounts. The tax

rules that apply to distributions by corporations which are not passive foreign investment companies would apply to distributions by us.
     The mark-to-market election is available only for stock which is regularly traded on a national securities exchange that is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the national market system established pursuant to section 11A of the Exchange Act, or any exchange or market that the IRS has determined has rules sufficient to carry out the purposes of the income tax rules. We are not currently a company meeting the requirements of mark-to-market so such an election is not currently available if we were to be a PFIC.
Non-U.S. Investors
     A Non-U.S. Investor generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on dividends paid by us with respect to our Common Shares unless the income is effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Investor’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States.
     A Non-U.S. Investor generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any gain attributable to a sale or other disposition of our Common Shares unless such gain is effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Investor’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States or the Non-U.S. Investor is a natural person who is present in the United States for 183 days or more and certain other conditions exist.
     Dividends and gains that are effectively connected with a Non-U.S. Investor’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States generally will be subject to tax in the same manner as they would be if the Non-U.S. Investor were a U.S. Investor, except that the passive foreign investment company rules will not apply. Effectively connected dividends and gains received by a corporate Non-U.S. Investor may also be subject to an additional branch profits tax.
U.S. Information Reporting and Backup Withholding
     In general, information reporting requirements will apply to dividends in respect of our Common Shares, or the proceeds received on the sale, exchange or redemption of our Common Shares paid within the United States (and, in certain cases, outside the United States) to U.S. Investors other than certain exempt recipients, such as corporations, and backup withholding tax may apply to such amounts if the U.S. Investor fails to provide an accurate taxpayer identification number or to report interest and dividends required to be shown on its U.S. federal income tax returns. The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a U.S. Investor will be allowed as credit against the U.S. Investor’s U.S. federal income tax liability provided that the appropriate returns are filed. Holders that are not U.S. persons generally are not subject to information reporting or backup withholding, but such holders may be required to provide certification as to their Non-U.S. status.
     A U.S. Investor who holds Common Shares in any year in which we are a passive foreign investment company would be required to file IRS Form 8621 regarding distributions received on our shares and any gain realized on the disposition of our Common Shares.
ALL INVESTORS ARE ADVISED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES OF PURCHASING THE COMMON SHARES OF OUR COMPANY.

ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
A. Transaction Risk and Currency Risk Management
     Our operations do not employ financial instruments or derivatives which are market sensitive and we do not have financial market risks.
B. Exchange Rate Sensitivity
     We are exposed to market risk, primarily related to foreign exchange. We use the Canadian dollar as our reporting currency and are, therefore, exposed to foreign exchange movements in the U.S. and Canada where we have property interests and in Switzerland where we maintain our headquarters.
     The following table sets forth the percentage of our administrative expense by currency for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005.

     Such administrative expense by currency may change from time to time. Further, we incurred consulting and administrative costs of CAD $571,115 and CAD $3,105,860 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006, respectively, all of which were paid in various currencies as indicated above.
     We have not entered into any material foreign exchange contracts to minimize or mitigate the effects of foreign exchange fluctuations on our operations. We hold our cash balances in U.S. dollars and exchange to either Canadian dollars or Swiss Francs to cover our administration expenses. Based on prior years, we do not believe that we are subject to material foreign exchange fluctuations. However, no assurance can be given that this will not occur in the future.
Interest Rate Risk
     We are not currently subject to adverse movement in interest rates because our credit facilities are fixed at an interest rate of 8.0%. The Epsom Credit Facility requires repayment on December 31, 2007. We do not currently engage in hedging transactions designed to manage interest rate fluctuation risks.
Commodity Price Risk
     Presently, we are an exploration state company and do not have any operating mines. Therefore, we do not have any hedging or other commodity based risks respecting its operations.

Table of Contents

     As of the end of our fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, an evaluation of the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) was carried out by our principal executive officer and principal financial officer. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that as of the end of that fiscal year, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.
     It should be noted that while our management believes that our disclosure controls and procedures provide a reasonable level of assurance, they do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or internal financial controls will prevent all errors and fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived or operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting:
     During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 16B. CODE OF ETHICS
     We have adopted a “code of ethics” (as that term is defined in Form 20-F) (the “Code of Ethics”) that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, and persons performing similar functions.
     Since the adoption of the Code of Ethics, there have not been any amendments to the Code of Ethics or waivers, including implicit waivers, from any provision of the Code of Ethics.
ITEM 16C. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES
     The independent auditor for the last fiscal year was Ernst and Young, Chartered Accountants. The prior auditor for the last three fiscal years were Staley, Okada & Partners, Chartered Accountants.
Audit Fees
     The aggregate fees billed by Ernst and Young for professional services rendered for the audit of our annual financial statements on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 was a provision incurred of CAD $55,000.
Audit-Related Fees

Report of Independent Auditors
To the Shareholders of Resource Finance & Investment Ltd.:
We have audited the consolidated balance sheet of Resource Finance & Investment Ltd. (an Exploration Stage Company) (the “Company”) as at December 31, 2006 and the consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended. 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 audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. 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. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2006, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.
The financial statements as at December 31, 2005 and for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 were audited by other auditors who expressed an opinion without reservation on those statements in their report dated March 22, 2006 and April 21, 2006, and their Comments by Auditors for U.S. Readers on Canada – U.S. Reporting Difference.
Comments by Auditors for U.S. Readers on Canada-U.S. Reporting Differences
In the United States, reporting standards for auditors require the addition of an explanatory paragraph, following the opinion paragraph, when the financial statements are affected by conditions and events that cast substantial doubt on the company’s ability to continue as a going concern, such as those described in Note 1 to the financial statements. Our report to the shareholders dated July 12, 2007 is expressed in accordance with Canadian reporting standards which do not permit a reference to such events and conditions in the auditors’ report when these are adequately disclosed in the financial statements.

Resource Finance & Investment Ltd.
(An Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
December 31, 2006 and 2005
1. Operations and Going Concern Uncertainty
Until fiscal year 1999, the Company was a junior resource company engaged in the business of acquiring, exploring and developing mineral resource properties in the United States and Venezuela.
An extraordinary general meeting of shareholders was held on September 9, 1994, at which time shareholders of the Company approved, by special resolution, the continuance of the Company from British Columbia to Bermuda in accordance with provisions of Part XA of the Companies Act, 1981 (Bermuda), as amended, and the British Columbia Company Act. On April 4, 1997, the Company changed its name to Resource Finance & Investment Ltd.
During 2000, management determined that the Company would no longer pursue its resource business and instead switched the Company’s focus to that of the maintenance of existing leases and identification of business opportunities of a more general nature. In 2003, in response to escalating prices for commodities and rare minerals, the Company decided to reactivate its interests in Kentucky lands and conduct ongoing appraisals and evaluations for various minerals. In 2004 to 2006, the focus of the Company has been its Oregon mineral sands project, where the Company is presently conducting sample analysis, building a pilot plant and investigating exploration and pre development opportunities for the extraction of approximately 2,598 acres of terraced mineral sands properties near Coos Bay in South West Oregon. In addition, the Company continues to evaluate potential acquisitions and joint venture partnerships where significant value can be generated for shareholders. These represent the main activities of the Company as a business concern.
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.
The Company has incurred significant losses and negative cash flow from operations since inception. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is uncertain and is dependent upon obtaining additional financing and achieving a profitable level of operations. Management intends to raise further financing in the future by private share placements, through the exercise of existing warrants and options and by utilising the US$1,000,000 line of credit available (Note 5). There can be no assurance that future private share placements can be successfully concluded.
These consolidated financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments which would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared by management in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles, which as applied in these consolidated financial statements, conform in all material respects with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States except as disclosed in Note 14.
Basis of Presentation
This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist understanding of the Company’s financial statements. The consolidated financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to Canadian generally accepted accounting principles and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

December 31, 2006 and 2005
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Basis of Consolidation (Continued)
The consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005 include the accounts of Resource Finance & Investment Ltd. (“RFI”), its wholly owned U.S.A. subsidiaries; Oregon Resources Corporation (“ORC”) and Dynamex Resources Corporation (“DYN”), as well as its Canadian subsidiary, Cadillac West Explorations Inc. (“CWE”) where it owned 59.51%.
On May 31, 2006, Cadillac West Exploration completed a share exchange transaction which constituted a reverse takeover with Cadillac Mining Corporation (“CMC”) (formerly Eclips Inc.). As at December 31, 2006, RFI owns approximately 27.82% of CMC (See Note 9).
On November 6, 2006, Oregon Resources Corporation completed a share exchange transaction which constituted a reverse take over with Industrial Minerals Corporation (“IDM”)(formerly Rubirosa Limited). As at December 31, 2006, RFI owns approximately 62.26% of IDM (see Note 10).
The consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006 include the accounts of RFI, and its investments in IDM, and its wholly owned subsidiary DYN. CMC was changed to the equity method of accounting on May 31, 2006 (Note 9).
All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation. Included in these consolidated financial statements are the results of operations of the parent company and the above subsidiaries from their respective dates of incorporation or purchase by RFI.
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 amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Such estimates relate primarily to unsettled transactions and events as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. Accordingly upon settlement, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Equity Investments
The investment in Cadillac Mining Corporation is accounted for on an equity basis (see Note 9).

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Mineral Properties
Mineral properties consist of exploration and mining concessions, options and contracts. Acquisition and leasehold costs and exploration costs are capitalized and deferred until such time as the property is put into production or the property is disposed of either through sale or abandonment. If put into production, the costs of acquisition and exploration will be written off over the life of the property, based on estimated economic reserves. Proceeds received from the sale of any interest in a property will first be credited against the carrying value of the property, with any excess included in operations for the period. If a property is abandoned, the property and deferred exploration costs will be written off to operations.
The costs capitalized for mineral properties are reviewed on a property-by-property basis to consider if there is any impairment on the subject property. When the carrying value of the property exceeds the net estimated recoverable amount for that property a provision is made for impairment in value. The net realizable value is determined based on identifiable geological reserves, joint venture expenditures or commitments or the Company’s assessment of its ability to sell the property for its carrying value.
The recorded costs do not necessarily reflect present or future values of the mineral properties. When the Company acquires or disposes of a property subject to an option agreement; the option is exercisable at the option of the optionee and as such the accounts payable or receivable are not recorded relating to requirements under the subject option agreement. Option payments and expenditures are recorded as mineral property costs when the payments are made or the expenditures are completed
Stock-Based Compensation
All stock-based awards made to employees and non-employees are measured and recognized using a fair value based method in accordance with CICA Handbook section 3870, Stock Based Compensation and Other Stock Based Payments, and related interpretations in accounting for stock based compensation awards to employees, directors, and non employees. For employees, the fair value of the options is measured at the date of the grant. For non-employees, the fair value of the options is measured on the earlier of the date at which the counterparty performance is complete or the date the performance commitment is reached or the date at which the equity instruments are granted if they are fully vested and non-forfeitable. For employees and non-employees, the fair value of the options is accrued and charged to operations, with the offsetting credit to contributed surplus, on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consists of cash on hand, balances with banks and highly liquid temporary money market instruments with original maturities of ninety days or less

    Motor Vehicles — straight line over 5 years
 
    Computer equipment — 30% declining balance.
 
    Software Equipment — straight line over 5 years
One-half of the above rate is applied in the year of acquisition. The Company regularly reviews its property, plant and equipment to eliminate obsolete items.
Construction in Progress
Construction in progress represents the costs associated with the construction in Oregon of a mineral sands processing plant. The completion of this plant is scheduled for September 2008.
    Construction in Progress – units of production over economic reserves
Asset Retirement Obligations
Effective January 1, 2004, the Company adopted the recommendations of CICA Handbook Section 3110, Asset Retirement Obligations. This section requires recognition of a legal liability for obligations relating to retirement of property, plant, and equipment, and arising from the acquisition, construction, development, or normal operation of those assets. Such asset retirement cost must be recognized at fair value, when a reasonable estimate of fair value can be estimated, in the period in which it is incurred, added to the carrying value of the asset, and amortized into income on a systematic basis over its useful life.
There is no material impact on the consolidated financial statements resulting from the adoption of Section 3110 either in the current or prior years presented. Currently, the Company has no asset retirement obligations
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for using the liability method of tax allocation. Under this method, future income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for their tax consequences of temporary differences by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities.
The effect on deferred taxes for a change in tax rates is recognised in income in the period that includes the enactment. In addition, deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent their realisation is more likely than not.

Foreign Currency Translation
The reporting currency of Resource Finance is the Canadian dollar. The functional currency for Dynamex Corporation is the US dollar, Industrial Minerals Corporation is the Australian dollar, Oregon Resources Corporation is the US dollar, and Cadillac Mining Corporation is the Canadian dollar.
Integrated foreign operations are re-measured into the functional currency using the temporal method as follows:
i)   Monetary assets and liabilities at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date,
 
ii)   Non-monetary assets and liabilities, and equity at historical rates, and
 
iii)   Revenue and expense items at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the period.
Gains and losses on re-measurement are included in determining net income for the period.
Self-sustaining foreign operations are re-measured into the functional currency using the current method.
Translation of balances from the functional currency into the reporting currency is conducted using the current rate method as follows:
i)   Assets and liabilities at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date,
 
ii)   Equity at historical rates, and
 
iii)   Revenue and expense items at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the period.
Translation adjustments resulting from translation of balances from functional to reporting currency are accumulated as a separate component of shareholders’ equity as a component of cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment. Upon sale or liquidation of the net investment in the foreign entity to which the cumulative translation adjustment relates, the amount deferred will be recognized in income. Transaction amounts denominated in foreign currencies are translated in the functional currencies at exchange rates prevailing at their transaction dated.
Financial Instruments
The Company has various financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, loans payable and balances due to related parties. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. The carrying value of these financial instruments approximates their fair value.
Loss per Common Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted loss per share assumes the conversion, exercise or contingent issuance of securities only when such conversion, exercise or issuance would have a dilutive effect on loss per share. The dilutive effect of convertible securities is reflected in diluted loss per share by application of the “if converted” method. The dilutive effect of outstanding options and warrants and their equivalents is reflected in diluted loss per share by application of the treasury stock method.

4. Mineral Property Costs
The Company has mineral leases in Oregon through its majority controlled interest in IDM, in Kentucky through DYN and in Quebec through its equity investment in CMC. The Company does not have a legal obligation to make lease payments. The effect of non-payment is cancellation of a resource property lease.
On November 1, 2005, an agreement was signed between Richmont Mines Inc and Cadillac Mining whereby CMC may earn a 50% interest in the Norcoeur and Lac Fortune Properties. To earn a 50% interest, CMC had to incur minimum expenditure of $500,000 on either property by May 22, 2006. $200,000 was held on deposit with a third party whilst exploration work was in progress as at December 2005. During 2006, this deposit was utilised on project expenditure as part of this agreement.
Shawnee Project, Kentucky, U.S.A
As at December 31, 2005, DYN was current on its active Kentucky leases. As at December 31, 2006, DYN made the annual lease payments on the Kentucky project of approximately US$18,971 (2005 – US$18,971) to maintain the current leases.

On December 29, 2006 Isaac Moss was awarded a further 150,000 options exercisable at a price of US$0.55 with an expiry to December 28, 2011.
Stock-Based Compensation

For the newly granted options, being 2,500,000 to Philip Garratt and 150,000 to Isaac Moss during the financial period, compensation expense is based on the fair value of the options at the grant date. All options granted vest immediately.
The stock option compensation expense is calculated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model in 2006 and 2005 with the following ranges of assumptions on the date of grant:
                 
    2006     2005  
Risk-free interest rate
    3.97 %     3.02 %
Expected dividend yield
           
Expected stock price volatility
    118-137 %     112 %
Expected option life in years
    5       4.14  
Current year stock-based compensation amounted to $1,428,085 (2005 — $83,637), which was included in the contributed surplus account.
During the year-ended December 31, 2006, $464,100 of the above noted stock-based compensation expense relates to the Company’s subsidiary, Industrial Minerals Corporation granting 7,250,000 options to executive directors under an employee share and option plan adopted by Industrial Minerals Corporation.
The stock option benefit recorded in 2005 related to 250,000 options granted to Ms. Cheryl Wilson. The stock option benefit also related to 100,000 options granted to Martin Wood Associates Inc. amounting to $14,946.
The stock option benefit recorded in 2004 related to 1,500,000 options granted to Philip Garratt and 150,000 options granted to Michael Brickell.
Option pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, particularly as to the expected price volatility of the stock. Changes in these assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimated, and therefore it is management’s view that the existing models do not necessarily provide a single reliable measure of the fair value of the Company’s stock option grants.

  Accounts payable included $169,341 (2005 — $37,384; 2004 - $64,869) due to the CEO and director of the Company for expenses incurred on behalf of the Company. This amount was incurred in the ordinary course of business, is non-interest bearing, unsecured and due on demand.
 
  A management fee of $34,918 was outstanding by the company’s subsidiary Oregon Resources Corporation.
 
  As at December 31, 2005, management fees of $120,000 were owing to two major shareholders of CWE, one of which is a director and officer of CWE.
9. Investment in Cadillac Mining Corporation
As at December 31, 2006, the Company owned 6,810,290 common shares of CMC. As at December 31, 2005, the Company owned 7,350,000 common shares of CWE.
CWE was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) on June 8, 2004. CWE’s main business is acquiring and exploring mineral properties principally located in the Province of Quebec, Canada, with the objective of identifying mineralized deposits economically worthy of development, mining or sale.
By agreement dated June 30, 2004, and amended on June 8, 2005, the Company entered into an agreement with CWE allowing the Company to fund exploration activities of CWE. In return, the Company had an option to convert its advances to CWE into CWE shares. During 2004, the Company advanced $420,497 to CWE. On June 8, 2005 and October 31, 2005, the Company acquired a 59.51% interest in CWE by converting $700,000 and $70,000 of advances receivables into 7,000,000 and 350,000 shares of CWE, respectively. The Company also received 1,400,000 of CWE share purchase warrants that can be exercised at $0.25 per share on or before November 30, 2008. The acquisition was a related party transaction, as on the date of the acquisition there was a director and officer in common. There was minimal activity in CWE between June 8, 2005 and October 31, 2005; therefore the two-step acquisition was accounted for as one, effective June 8, 2005.

Cash and cash equivalents
  $ 24,619  
Computer equipment
    1,835

The purchase method of accounting was used and the excess purchase price paid over fair value for identifiable net assets ($430,419) was allocated to non-monetary assets of CWE, being mineral property costs.
During the year-ended December 31, 2005, CWE completed a private placement comprising of 600,000 special warrants which were issued at $0.20 per special warrant for total proceeds of $120,000. Each warrant converts to one share at the earliest of twelve months from the date of issuance or the fifth business day after a final receipt is issued by applicable securities regulations in respect of a prospectus qualifying the conversion. None of the special warrants have been converted to shares as of December 31, 2005. For the purposes of the year-ended December 31, 2005 financial statements, it was considered that the $120,000 of outstanding special warrants are converted to CWE’s common shares as of December 31, 2005. As a result of this, the interest of RFI in CWE as at December 31, 2005 was reduced from 59.514% to 56.76% and the non-controlling interest in CWE increased from 40.485% to 43.24%. $53,750 of the $120,000 has been recognized as a gain by the Company, which is reflected in the consolidated statement of operations. The remaining amount, being $66,250, was been allocated to the non-controlling interest, as at December 31, 2005.
As at December 31, 2005, the non-controlling interest was initially recorded at the carrying value in the records of the subsidiary. This amount was adjusted by the non-controlling interest’s portion of the income (loss) and certain other adjustments that occur subsequent to the acquisition of control of the subsidiary. Details of non-controlling interest in CWE are as follows:
         
Total net assets as at the date of acquisition at carrying value

Mineral Properties
Leased Property in Coos County, Oregon
In the early 1990’s, ORC leased approximately 2,016 acres for the purposes of exploring for mineral sands deposits containing chromite, zircon, ilmenite, rutile, garnet and possibly gold in Coos County, Oregon. The lease covering 320 acres (Yoder-Miller Property), known as the Shepard Deposit was renegotiated in 2003. The lease of the mineral rights on 1,890 acres which is the subject of the Weyerhauser Lease was entered into January 1, 2006. The lease was executed with terms that encourage the early development of the leased properties.
The Yoder-Miller Property
By a lease dated January 9, 2003, ORC leased approximately 320 acres of property located approximately 12 miles southwest of Coos Bay, representing 20% of the proven reserves of the Oregon Mineral Sands Project (“Yoder-Miller Property”). The lease is for an initial term of five years and requires a lease payment of U.S. $6,400 per year. The owners of the Yoder-Miller Property are also entitled to a production royalty of U.S. $0.8751 per ton of ore mined and removed from any portion of the Yoder-Miller Property. The principal mineral deposit identified on the Yoder-Miller Property is known as the Shepard deposit. According to the United States Bureau of Mines, the Shepard deposit contains 257,500 metric tons of heavy mineral sands averaging 17.2% chromite. Also, according to the U.S. Bureau of Mines, the known extensions of the Shepard deposit total over 1.8 million metric tons of heavy mineral sands averaging 8.2% chromite.
Mineral Properties
The Weyerhauser Lease (formerly known as Bohemia/Williamette Industries)
By a mining lease made as of June 12, 1992 (the “Bohemia Lease”) ORC leased approximately 1,891 acres, of property located approximately 10 miles southwest of Coos Bay, Oregon (the “Bohemia Property”) for an initial term of ten years. The lease was allowed to expire in 2000. In 1992 Bohemia Inc. was acquired by Willamette Industries Inc. and in its new corporate status sold the Bohemia Property to Rosboro Lumber Company while retaining all the mineral rights both on and below the surface. Thereafter, Weyerhauser Company acquired Willamette and became the current owner of the mineral rights on the Bohemia Property. In 2006, Weyerhaueser also acquired the surface rights from Rosboro Lumber Company.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
December 31, 2006 and 2005
14. Reconciliation of United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Canada. Except as set out below, these financial statements also comply, in all material aspects, with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and the rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission.
Under Canadian GAAP, the mineral properties are carried at cost and written off or written down if the properties are abandoned, sold or if management decides not to pursue the properties. Under United States GAAP, the Company would periodically review and obtain independent reports in determining adjustments to the mineral properties and record properties at net realizable value. The Company has not yet obtained an independent report for United States GAAP purposes, therefore, the Company’s mineral property costs have been written off. Cadillac Mining Corporation capitalizes the mineral property costs under Canadian GAAP.
Under Canadian GAAP, the Company recognises a dilution gain or loss with a change in the Company’s proportionate share of subsidiary equity or investments subject to significant influence. Under United States GAAP, the realization of a dilution gain or loss is not assured where the subsidiary or investment subject to significant influence is a development stage company. In this situation, the change in the Company’s proportionate share of subsidiary equity resulting from the additional equity raised by the subsidiary or investments subject to influence is accounted for as an equity transaction.
The impact of the above differences between Canadian and United States GAAP on loss for the period is as follows:

In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainties in income taxes recognized in accordance with SFAS 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. The interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2006. The Company will adopt for fiscal years beginning on after December 15, 2006.

FIN 48 clarifies accounting for income taxes by prescribing a minimum recognition threshold a tax benefit is required to meet before being recognized. A company would be required to recognize the best estimate of a tax position if that position is more likely than not of being sustained upon examination, based solely on the technical merits of the position. This change is effective beginning in 2007. The Company has not yet determined the impact of adopting FIN 48.
On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted FAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment” for all employee stock-based awards granted, modified or settled after the effective date using the fair value measurement method. Compensation cost is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in order to earn the award. FAS No. 123R requires forfeitures of unvested instruments to be estimated at the grant date to determine the total compensation to be recognized. Under Canadian GAAP, the Company accounts for forfeitures only as they occur. FAS No. 123R was adopted using the modified prospective method without restatement of prior periods. As the Company had previously applied the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation under Canadian GAAP since January 1, 2004, the adoption of FAS 123R did not result in any significant differences between Canadian and United States GAAP with respect to stock-based compensation expense in 2006.

14. Reconciliation of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles - Continued
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”, which establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and is applicable to other accounting pronouncements in which fair value is considered to be relevant measurement attribute. SFAS 157 also expands disclosures about fair value measurement. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adoption on its consolidated financial statements.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (SFAS 159”), was issued in February 2007. The statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value, providing the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without the need to apply hedge accounting provisions. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with earlier adoption permitted. The Company is currently reviewing the impact of this statement.
