Note 1
Interim Reporting
While the information presented in the accompanying interim financial statements is unaudited, it includes all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. These interim consolidated financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of their application as the Companys April 30, 2007 annual financial statements. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. It is suggested that these interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the Companys April 30, 2007 annual financial statements.
Note 2
Continuance of Operations
These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for its next twelve months. Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown and these financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. At January 31, 2008, the Company had not yet achieved profitable operations, has accumulated a deficit of $7,854,964 since its inception, has a working capital deficiency of $181,316 and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business, all of which casts substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. The Companys ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management has no formal plan in place to address this concern but considers that the Company will be able to obtain additional funds by equity financing and/or related party advances, however there is no assurance of additional funding being available.

Lucky Boy Project
(contd)
Once the Company spends a cumulative amount of $500,000 on the Lucky Boy project, it has the right to earn up to a 60% interest on the property and the right to earn an additional 8% for each $100,000 spent on the project.
As of January 31, 2008, the Company has paid $50,000 in property payments and in excess of $500,000 in exploration and development costs toward this project. After accumulating the required $500,000 on the Lucky Boy Project, the Company exercised its option to acquire a 60% interest on the property.
On January 29, 2008, the Company sold to Rodinia Minerals Inc. (Rodinia) its right to acquire the remaining 40% interest in the Lucky Boy Project. In consideration, Rodinia agreed to pay the balance of $125,000 owing by the Company to Handley Minerals, Inc. (also know as Ashworth Explorations Ltd) for exploration costs on the project. As part of this agreement, the Company also received a refund of $9,797 from reclamation bonds and expects the balance of the bonds outstanding, totalling $13,362, to be refunded to due course.
The agreement is subject to a 3% uranium oxide royalty.
By an option agreement dated March 17, 2005, the Company granted Rodinia the option to acquire up to a 40% interest of the Companys interest in the Lucky Boy Project in consideration of Rodinia deferring its acquisition of an interest in the Lucky Boy Project in favour of the Company. The option shall be exercisable from time to time, as to 40% of the interest in respect of which the Company has exercised its right to acquire pursuant to the terms of the above-noted option agreement. During the period ending January 31, 2008, Rodinia exercised this option and now holds a 64% interest in the property leaving the Company a 36% interest.
The Company staked an additional 12 mineral claims that are not subject to either option agreement referred to above. A company has indicated it holds an interest in these claims, which is disputed by the Company. The Company is unable to determine the amount of loss, if any, which would result from the dispute.

Callable Secured Convertible Notes
a)
Callable Secured Convertible Notes
On April 12, 2006, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement to sell callable secured convertible notes (the notes) having an aggregate principal amount of $2,000,000. On the same day the Company issued notes totalling $700,000, maturing on April 12, 2009, and warrants to purchase 11,000,000 shares of the common stock at $0.30 per share, subject to adjustment for the effects of dilutive issuance, exercisable until April 12, 2013. On May 19, 2006, the Company issued notes totalling $600,000, maturing on May 19, 2009, and warrants to purchase 11,000,000 shares of common stock at $0.30 per share, subject to adjustment for the effects of dilutive issuance, exercisable until May 19, 2013. On August 22, 2006, the Company issued notes totalling $700,000 with terms identical to the above-noted notes except that there were no warrants attached.
The notes bear interest at 6%, are secured by all of the assets of the Company, are payable quarterly provided that no interest shall be due and payable for any month in which the trading price of the Companys common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board is greater than $0.1125 per share for each trading day of the month and are convertible into shares of common stock of the Company at the rate of the Applicable Percentage multiplied by the Market Price which is defined as the average of the lowest three trading prices for the common stock during the 20 day period prior to conversion. The Applicable Percentage is 60% as a registration statement was declared effective by the SEC on August 18, 2006. Any amount of principal or interest on the notes which is not paid when due shall bear interest at 15%.
In the event of default, the notes will become due and payable and the Company shall pay to the holder the greater of 14% of the principal and interest and the highest number of common shares issued on conversion multiplied by the highest closing price of the Companys stock during the default period. If the Company does not pay the above-noted amount within 5 days of notice, then the holder may cause the Company, upon written notice, to immediately issue the number of common shares equal to the default amount divided by the conversion price then in effect.
The notes contain a provision whereby no holder is able to convert any part of the note into shares of the Companys common stock, if such conversion would result in beneficial ownership of the holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the Companys then outstanding shares of common stock. The convertible feature of the notes provide for a rate of conversion that is below market value.

A finders fee of 10% cash was paid on the sale of the notes. In addition, warrants to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares, exercisable at $0.30 per share for a five-year term, were issued to the finder. The warrants were recorded at their fair value upon issuance and recorded as a deferred financing charge (Note 4(b)).
On December 19, 2007, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement to sell callable secured convertible notes (the notes) having an aggregate principal amount of $200,000. On the same day the Company issued notes totalling $200,000, maturing on December 19, 2010, and warrants to purchase 15,000,000 shares of the common stock at $0.003 per share, subject to adjustment for the effects of dilutive issuance, exercisable until December 19, 2014. Legal costs of $10,000 and a finders fee of $20,000 were paid in cash pursuant to this note.
These December 19, 2007 notes bear interest at 8%, are secured by all of the assets of the Company, are payable quarterly provided that no interest shall be due and payable for any month in which the trading price of the Companys common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board is greater than $0.1125 per share for each trading day of the month and are convertible into shares of common stock of the Company at the rate of the Applicable Percentage multiplied by the Market Price which is defined as the average of the lowest three trading prices for the common stock during the 20 day period prior to conversion. The Applicable Percentage is 60% as a registration statement was declared effective by the SEC on August 18, 2006. Any amount of principal or interest on the notes which is not paid when due shall bear interest at 15%.
During the nine months ended January 31, 2008, $240,550 of the convertible notes were converted into shares of the Companys common stock at prices ranging between $0.0024 per share and $0.0259 per share for a total of 22,100,000 common shares issued.
At January 31, 2008, the principle balance of the convertible notes was $1,291,527 after giving consideration to the conversions noted above and the repayment of $109,982 in principle and $35,574 in interest during the year ended April 30, 2007.

On September 29, 2003, the Company forward split its common stock on a 5 new for 1 old basis and increased its authorized capital from 50,000,000 to 150,000,000 common shares with a par value of $0.001. The number of shares issued and outstanding has been restated to give retroactive effect to this forward split of common stock.

These shares were issued into escrow at that time. During the year ended April 30, 2004, 5,000,000 of these common shares have been released from escrow and were recorded at a fair value of $2,480,000.

Share Purchase Options
(contd)
All share purchase options vest immediately at the date of the grant with the exception of 1,100,000 share purchase options granted to a consultant. 200,000 of these share purchase options vest immediately with the remaining 900,000 share purchase options to vest at 100,000 shares per month until fully vested. At January 31, 2008 and April 30, 2007, these share purchase options have fully vested. On June 18, 2007, the 1,000,000 options to directors and employees were re-priced from $0.10 per share to $0.04 per share and the expiry date was extended to June 19, 2008. No additional stock-based compensation expense was recorded in this period since the fair value of the stock-based compensation determined using the Black-Scholes option valuation model was lower than the previous granted option. On the same date, 1,500,000 options to directors and employees were granted at $0.04 per share expiring on June 19, 2008. The company has recorded $30,000 of compensation expense for stock based compensation awarded to directors and employees during the period ended January 31, 2008.
The fair value of the stock-based compensation has been determined using the Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following assumptions:
|
|
|
January 31 and
|
|
April 30,
|
|
2007
|
|
|
Expected dividend yield

|
Expected volatility
|
124%
|
Risk-free interest rate
|
4.74%
|
Weighted average expected term in years
|
1 year
|
The expected volatility was calculated based on the Companys historical share prices.
The Black-Scholes option valuation model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected price volatility. Changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate and therefore the Black-Scholes valuation model does not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Companys share purchase options.
The compensation charge associated with consultants option in the amount of $Nil is included in the statement of operations for the nine months ended January 31, 2008 (January 31, 2007: $58,000).
