1.
NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Kobex Minerals Inc. (formerly IMA Exploration Inc.) (the “Company”) is a natural resource company engaged in the business of acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties.  The Company presently has no property interests with proven or probable reserves and on the basis of information to date, it has not yet determined whether these properties contain economically recoverable ore reserves. Consequently the Company considers itself to be an exploration stage company.

On September 30, 2009, IMA Exploration Inc. ("IMA") acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Kobex Resources Ltd. ("Kobex") and International Barytex Resources Ltd. ("Barytex").  The transactions were effected by way of court approved statutory plans of arrangements (the "Arrangements") under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), pursuant to which all of the issued and outstanding securities of Kobex and Barytex at the effective time were exchanged for IMA securities on the following basis: (i)

1.311 IMA common shares for each Kobex common share; (ii) 0.221 IMA common shares for each Barytex common share; and (iii) stock options and warrants exercisable to acquire IMA common shares on an adjusted basis to reflect the respective share exchange ratios, for each of the Kobex and Barytex stock options and warrants.

Following the completion of the Arrangements, the common shares of IMA were consolidated on a 2.4 old shares for one new share basis, and IMA's name was changed to Kobex Minerals Inc.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared by management in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  The consolidated financial statements have, in management's opinion, been properly prepared using careful judgment within reasonable limits of materiality.

As these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not contain all of the disclosures required by GAAP, they should be read in conjunction with the notes to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008.

The accounting policies followed by the Company are set out in note 4 to the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008, and have been consistently followed in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements except that the Company has adopted the following CICA standards effective January 1, 2009:

 
(a)
Goodwill and Intangible Assets

CICA Handbook Section 3064, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, establishes revised standards for recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of goodwill and intangible assets. Concurrent with the introduction of this standard, the CICA withdrew EIC 27, Revenues and Expenses during the preoperating period. On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted these changes, with no impact on its consolidated financial statements.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 
(b)
Credit Risk and Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities

In January 2009, the CICA issued EIC-173, Credit Risk and the Fair Value of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The EIC provides guidance on how to take into account credit risk of an entity and counterparty when determining the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, including derivative instruments.

This standard is effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009. Adoption of this EIC did not have a significant effect on the Company’s financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2009.

 
(c)
Mining Exploration Costs

In March 2009, the CICA issued EIC-174, Mining Exploration Costs. The EIC provides guidance on the accounting and the impairment review of exploration costs. This standard is effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009. The application of this EIC did not have an effect on the Company’s financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2009.

Future Accounting Standards

Business combinations, consolidated financial statements and non-controlling interest

In January 2009, the CICA issued CICA Handbook Section 1582, Business Combinations, Section 1601, Consolidations, and Section 1602, Non-controlling Interests. These sections replace the former CICA Handbook Section 1581, Business Combinations and Section 1600, Consolidated Financial Statements and establish a new section for accounting for a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary. CICA Handbook Section 1582 establishes standards for the accounting for a business combination, and states that all assets and liabilities of an acquired business will be recorded at fair value. Obligations for contingent considerations and contingencies will also be recorded at fair value at the acquisition date. The standard also states that acquisition-related costs will be expensed as incurred and that restructuring charges will be expensed in the periods after the acquisition date. It provides the Canadian equivalent to IFRS 3, Business Combinations (January 2008). The section applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after January 1, 2011.

CICA Handbook Section 1601 establishes standards for the preparation of consolidated financial statements.

CICA Handbook Section 1602 establishes standards for accounting for a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary in the preparation of consolidated financial statements subsequent to a business combination. It is equivalent to the corresponding provisions of IFRS International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 27, Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements (January 2008).

CICA Handbook Section 1601 and Section 1602 apply to interim and annual consolidated financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011. Earlier adoption of these sections is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year.

All three sections must be adopted concurrently. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of these sections as it has not adopted then yet.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS")

In 2006, the Canadian Accounting Standards Board ("AcSB") published a new strategic plan that will significantly affect financial reporting requirements for Canadian companies.  The AcSB strategic plan outlines the convergence of Canadian GAAP with IFRS over an expected five year transitional period. In February 2008 the AcSB announced that the date for publicly-listed companies to use IFRS, replacing Canadian GAAP, is for interim and annual financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011. The transition date of January 1, 2011 will require the restatement for comparative purposes of amounts reported by the Company for the year ended December 31, 2010.  The Company is evaluating the financial reporting impact of the transition to IFRS.
 
 
3.
CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICY

During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company retrospectively changed its accounting policy for exploration expenditures to be more relevant. Prior to the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company capitalized all such costs to mineral properties held directly or through an investment and only wrote down capitalized costs when the property was abandoned or if the capitalized costs were not considered to be economically recoverable.

Exploration expenditures are now charged to operations as they are incurred until the property reaches development stage. All direct costs related to the acquisition of mineral property interests will continue to be capitalized. Development expenditures incurred subsequent to a development decision, and to increase or to extend the life of existing production, are capitalized and will be amortized on the unit-of-production method based upon estimated proven and probable reserves.

The Company has accounted for this change in accounting policy on a retroactive basis. As a result of the change, deficit as at September 30, 2008 increased by $337,833, while net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 increased by $337,833, the net loss per share increased by $0.02 to $0.06 per share, and the amount reported for mineral properties as at September 30, 2008 decreased by $337,833.  Operating cash flows from operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 increased by $18,219,672, while cash flows from investing activities decreased by $18,219,672.  All changes are as compared to amounts previously reported and the net loss per share reflects the retroactive effect of the share consolidation from the Arrangements.

ACQUISITIONS

On September 30, 2009, the Company acquired all issued and outstanding securities of Kobex and Barytex by issuing 58,061,778 common shares, 3,135,019 options and 1,548,934 warrants of the Company. The securities were exchanged for IMA securities on the following basis: (i) 1.311 IMA common shares for each Kobex common share; (ii) 0.221 IMA common shares for each Barytex common share; and (iii) stock options and warrants exercisable to acquire IMA common shares were issued on an adjusted basis to reflect the respective share exchange ratios, for each of the Kobex and Barytex stock options and warrants.

The fair values allocated to these options and warrants using the Black-Scholes Valuation Model were $215,928 and $Nil respectively. The total consideration of the acquisition was $22,788,078.

ACQUISITIONS (continued)

Since Kobex and Barytex are not considered businesses for accounting purposes, the acquisition of Kobex and Barytex was accounted for as an acquisition of net assets. As virtually all of the assets and liabilities acquired were either cash and cash equivalents or monetary in nature, the non-monetary exchange of securities has been recorded at the more reliably measurable fair value of the net assets received.  The consideration and acquisition is summarized in the following table:

(“Panthera”) (formerly Amera Resources Corporation), a company with directors in common, for $0.14 per unit for a total of $499,800. Each unit consists of one common share and one-half of non-transferable share purchase warrant exercisable on or before June 16, 2010 at a price of $0.18 per share. On December 23, 2008 Panthera completed a 10 for 1 rollback of its shares. This resulted in the Company holding 357,000 shares and 178,500 warrants exercisable at a price of $1.80. On August 25, 2009 the Company sold the 357,000 shares for proceeds of $36,903 for an accounting gain of $11,913.

b)
On September 17, 2008 and October 24, 2008 the Company purchased 2,750,000 and 5,583,333 Units, respectively, of Blue Sky Uranium Corp. (“Blue Sky”), for $0.12 per unit for a total of $1,000,000.  Each Unit consisted of one common share and one transferable share purchase warrant. Each warrant entitles the Company to purchase one additional common share at a price of $0.18 per share in year one and $0.20 per share in year two. The warrants were originally recorded at $213,578. At September 30, 2009 the fair value of the warrants calculated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model was $365,041. As a result the company recorded a gain of $269,162 on held-for-trading investments for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009.

The Company accounted for its investment in common shares using the equity method and has been classified as long-term. On May 6, 2009, the Company’s holdings of Blue Sky was diluted from 22% to 19% as a result of Blue Sky completing a private placement to outside parties of 7,000,000 common shares. As a result the Company recorded a dilution loss of $11,357 in the second quarter. Blue Sky is under management in common. During the period ended September 30, 2009 the Company recorded a $261,471 equity loss.  As at September 30, 2009, the quoted market value of the shares was $1,416,667.

 Hushamu Property

The Company entered into an Option Agreement on May 12, 2008 with Western Copper Corporation (“Western Copper”) to further explore and develop the Hushamu Property and in which the Company has the right to acquire up to a 70% interest.  The Hushamu porphyry style copper-molybdenum-gold deposit is located on northern Vancouver Island, B.C.

The Company agreed to expend a minimum of $1.9 million (incurred) in the first year of a three year option period. Over years two and three the Company has an option to spend an additional $13.1 million on drilling, metallurgical, and engineering studies in the completion of a pre-feasibility report on the Hushamu deposit to meet the required terms of the agreement.  This expenditure, a total of $15 million, and the completion of a pre-feasibility report will earn the Company a 49% interest in the project (Option 1).  The Company can earn an additional 16% by funding a subsequent feasibility study by the fourth year (Option 2) and an additional 5% can be earned upon completion of mine permitting (Option 3) for a total interest of 70% with Western Copper retaining a 30% participating interest in the joint venture.

Overview

Kobex Minerals Inc. (the “Company”) is a Canadian company listed on the Toronto Venture Exchange (KXM.V) and the NYSE Amex Exchange (KXM). The Company was formed in September 2009 by the combination of Kobex Resources Inc. (“Kobex”), IMA Exploration Inc. (“IMA”), and International Barytex Resources Ltd. (“Barytex”) The combination of these companies into Kobex resulted in a treasury of about 42 million Canadian dollars and brought together a highly experienced board and management consisting of capable professionals with significant development and mine management experience.

The Company is a natural resource company engaged in the business of acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties.  At present, the Company has no producing properties and consequently has no current operating income or cash flows.  As of this date, the Company is an exploration stage company and has not generated any revenues.  The Company is entirely dependent on the equity market for its source of funds.  There is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on any of its properties.  Further evaluation and exploration will be required before the economic viability of any of the properties is determined.

As at September 30, 2009, the Company had $41,856,123 in working capital with no long-term debt.  The Company believes that it has sufficient funds to finance its operations for the next 12 months.

Strategy and Outlook

The Company seeks to identify, acquire, and develop deposits which have the potential to be world class, in the lower cost quartile and in an acceptable risk environment.

With the combination of Kobex, IMA, and Barytex, it has consolidated a robust treasury of about $42 million and is sufficiently well funded to take advantage of the many mineral opportunities which are being brought to its attention.

Corporate

On September 30, 2009, the Company acquired all issued and outstanding securities of Kobex and Barytex by issuing 58,061,778 common shares, 3,135,019 options and 1,548,934 warrants.  The securities were exchanged for IMA securities on the following basis: (i) 1.311 IMA common shares for each Kobex common share; (ii) 0.221 IMA common shares for each Barytex common share; and (iii) stock options and warrants exercisable to acquire IMA common shares were issued on an adjusted basis to reflect the respective share exchange ratios, for each of the Kobex and Barytex stock options and warrants.  The transactions were effected by way of court approved statutory plans of arrangements (the "Arrangements") under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia).

As virtually all of the assets and liabilities acquired were either cash and cash equivalents or monetary in nature, the non-monetary exchange of securities has been recorded at the more reliably measurable fair value of the net assets received.  The fair values allocated to these options and warrants using the Black-Scholes Valuation Model were $215,928 and $Nil respectively.  The total consideration of the acquisition was $22,788,078.

On September 30, 2009, following the completion of the Arrangements, the common shares of IMA were consolidated on a 2.4 old shares for new share basis.  The Company also changed its name from IMA Exploration Inc. to Kobex Minerals Inc.

On October 23, 2009, Blue Sky Uranium Corporation (“Blue Sky”) announced it was proceeding with a $1,210,000 private placement financing.  Since the Company is not participating in the financing, the completion of the private placement will effectively dilute the Company’s interest in Blue Sky to 16.6%.

On October 26, 2009 the Company announced that it has sold 8,333,333 warrants that it held of Blue Sky for proceeds of $528,333.

On October 27, 2009, the Company announced that pursuant to the Company's stock option plan, it has granted incentive stock options to directors, employees and consultants of the Company for the purchase of a total of 2,670,000 common shares for a period of 5 years at a price of $0.82 per share.

Principal Property

Island Copper Property, British Columbia

On May 12, 2008 the Company announced that it entered into a binding Letter of Intent with Western Copper Corporation (“Western Copper”) to further explore and develop the Island Copper Property in which the Company has the right to acquire up to a 70% interest.  The Island Copper Property, which includes the Hushamu porphyry style copper-molybdenum-gold deposit is located on northern Vancouver Island, B.C., approximately 25 kilometres southwest of Port Hardy, B.C.

The Company has agreed to expend a minimum of $1.9 million in the first year of a three year option period (incurred). Over years two and three the Company has an option to spend an additional $13.1 million on drilling, metallurgical, and engineering studies in the completion of a pre-feasibility report on the Hushamu deposit to meet the required terms of the agreement.  This expenditure, a total of $15 million, and the completion of a pre-feasibility report will earn the Company a 49% interest in the project (Option 1).  The Company can earn an additional 16% by funding a subsequent feasibility study by the fourth year (Option 2) and an additional 5% can be earned upon completion of mine permitting (Option 3) for a total interest of 70% with Western Copper retaining a 30% participating interest in the joint venture.

The Company announced on September 30, 2009 that it has informed Western Copper of its intention to proceed with its option agreement on the Island Copper Property.  The Company’s first step will be to complete an "order of magnitude" engineering study based on the known resources in the Hushamu deposit. This study will evaluate the project's economic potential and will assist in directing further work.

The Island Copper Property, owned 100% by Western Copper, consists of 216 mineral claims (approximately 42,669 hectares) located in a known copper-porphyry mining camp and surrounds the formerly producing Island Copper Mine of BHP-Utah.  During Island Copper’s operation from 1971 to 1995, the mine produced 345 million tonnes of ore with average metal grades of 0.41% Cu, 0.017% Mo and 0.19 g/t Au.  The rhenium content of the molybdenum concentrate was an important by-product. Current demand for rhenium has driven prices to $5,800 per kilogram.

As reported by Western Copper, the Hushamu deposit hosts a NI 43-101 compliant measured and indicated resource of 230.9 million tonnes grading 0.28% Cu and 0.31 g/t Au, containing 2.08 million ounces of gold and 1.39 billion pounds of copper, as well as an inferred resource of 52.8 million tonnes grading 0.28% Cu, 0.38 g/t Au, containing 327 million pounds of copper and 0.59 million ounces of gold. The deposit also contains unclassified molybdenum mineralization.

Table 1 summarizes the April 2005 mineral resource estimate at 0.10%, 0.20% and 0.30% Cu cut-offs.  Additional infill and step out drilling is required to define the molybdenum, silver, and rhenium content and define the extent of mineralization.

During the fall of 2008, IMA completed an initial drilling program at 2 of the 7 known mineral occurrences on the project:  Northwest Expo and Hushamu.  The program consisted of 13 holes of HQ size core drilling totalling 5,123 metres, with 11 holes totalling 4,610 metres drilled at Northwest Expo and 2 holes totalling 513 metres at Hushamu. Drilling was carried out by Matrix Diamond Drilling Inc. of British Columbia.

Drilling of the Northwest Expo target was designed to delineate the northwest projection of the mineralized zone beyond significant intercepts of copper, molybdenum and gold achieved by Western Copper in their 2007 drilling program.  The 2008 program utilized new logging roads to establish 5 drill pads located 300 to 400 metres apart with 2 to 3 holes drilled from each pad.  At Hushamu, drilling was designed to confirm the grade continuity of the core portion of the mineralized zone, particularly for rhenium and molybdenum, which had never been systematically analyzed in previous drilling programs.  The 2008 program utilized refurbished logging roads to establish 2 drill pads located about 1 kilometre apart with 1 hole drilled from each pad.

Reported intercepts from the Company 2008 drilling are summarized in the table below:

At Northwest Expo, the mineralized zone was confirmed as a tabular shaped, +600 metre long by 300 metre thick hydrothermal breccia body striking approximately east-west and dipping moderately to the north.  The drilling program was successful in delineating both the northern down-dip extent and the eastern fault-bounded extent of the mineralized zone, but the western strike projection of the zone remains open and untested towards the western Property boundary.  Copper values appear to decrease down-dip to the north within the zone relative to previous drilling results to the south, but gold, molybdenum and rhenium values are persistent throughout the zone. Preliminary microscopy work completed on 11 selected core samples from the zone confirmed hydrothermal breccia textures and alteration mineralogy similar to epithermal mineral deposits.

 
- 4 -

 

At Hushamu, the mineralized zone is relatively well established in shape, dimensions and grades of copper and gold. From the limited drilling completed in 2008, the values and distribution of molybdenum and particularly rhenium within and peripheral to the zone appear to be persistent and correlate well with copper and gold.

Summary of Financial Results

For the three months ended September 30, 2009, the Company reported a consolidated loss of $1,295,639 ($0.06 per share), an increase of $678,851 from the loss of $616,788 ($0.03 per share) for the three months ended September 30, 2008.  The increase in the loss in 2009, compared to the 2008 amount, can primarily be attributed to an increase of $89,823 on the loss from equity investment, an increase of $531,750 for termination benefits and a $121,807 decrease in interest income, partially offset by a $51,868 gain on a held-for-trading investment.

Results of Operations

The Company’s operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 were $1,765,214, a decrease of $22,712 from $1,787,926 in the 2008 period as a result of the following:

(i)
Corporate development and investor relations decreased by $70,029 to $68,993 in the 2009 period compared to $139,022 in the 2008 period mainly due to decreased costs associated with advertising and fewer attendance at investor conferences.

(ii)
Exploration expenditures decreased by $180,229 in the 2009 period mainly as a result of the Company spending more funds on the Island Copper project in the 2008 period compared to 2009.

(iii)
Merger and acquisition costs increased to $427,213 as result of the successful merger with Kobex and Barytex that completed on September 30, 2009.

(iv)
Stock-based compensation was $Nil in the 2009 period compared to $62,900 in the 2008 period as a result of the company granting 250,000 options to consultants in the 2008 period and none in the current period.

In the 2009 period the Company recorded interest income of $265,870 compared to $578,086 in the 2008 period as a result of the Company having less short-term investments on hand and lower interest rates on its short-term investments in the 2009 period. In addition, the Company recorded a gain of $269,162 on its held-for-trading investment.

The Company has accounted for the investment in Blue Sky using the equity method.  During the nine months ending September 30, 2009 the Company recorded a $261,471 loss resulting from accounting for the investment. During the period, the Company’s holdings of Blue Sky were diluted from 22% to 19%, and resulted in the Company recording a dilution loss of $11,357.

On October 19, 2009, the Company provided notice to terminates its services agreement with the Grosso Group with a termination fee of $500,000 being payable.  Currently on deposit with the Grosso Group is $205,000, which will offset the amount payable.

 
- 5 -

 

On October 23, 2009, Blue Sky announced it was proceeding with a $1,210,000 private placement financing. The Company is not participating in this financing and consequently, its interest in Blue Sky will be effectively diluted to 16.6%.

On October 26, 2009 the Company announced it has sold 8,333,333 warrants that it held of Blue Sky for proceeds of $528,333.

With the above events, the Company has determined that it no longer has significant influence over Blue Sky, and accordingly will change its method for accounting for its investment in Blue Sky from the equity basis.  The Company will classify the investment in Blue Sky as available-for-sale with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value included in other comprehensive income until ultimate sale when the accumulative gains or losses are transferred to net income.

With the combination of the three companies, the Company terminated its agreement with the President of the Company and paid $1,211,500 related to this bonus and termination benefits.  Of this amount $711,500 was accrued as at December 31, 2008

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s cash position at September 30, 2009 was $41,556,570, an increase of $20,106,095 from December 31, 2008.  Total assets at September 30, 2009 were $43,187,066, an increase of $20,502,467 from $22,684,599 at December 31, 2008.  The increase in assets is the direct result of the merger with Kobex and Barytex.

There were no exercise of options and warrants from January 1, 2009 to November 10, 2009.  As at November 10, 2009, the Company had working capital of approximately $45,400,000.

The Company considers that it has adequate resources to maintain its operations for the next fiscal year.  The funds on hand will allow the company to acquire viable advance stage exploration assets. The Company will continue to rely on successfully completing additional equity financing to further exploration and development of mineral exploration projects as needed.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining the required financing.

Except as disclosed, the Company does not know of any trends, demand, commitments, events or uncertainties that will result in, or that are reasonably likely to result in, its liquidity either materially increasing or decreasing at present or in the foreseeable future.

The Company does not now and does not expect to engage in currency hedging to offset any risk of currency fluctuations.

Operating Cash Flow

Cash outflow from operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $2,694,770, compared to cash inflow for the 2008 period of $17,773,495.  The difference is primarily as a result of the receipt of the Navidad interest in the 2008 period.

Financing Activities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, there were no cash flows from financing activities.

Investing Activities

Investing activities generated cash of $22,800,865 during the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared to cash outflow of $829,800 for the 2008 period.  In the 2009 period this was a result of $28,048 of acquisition costs on the Island Copper project, the net cash flow of $22,792,010 from the merger with Kobex and Barytex and proceeds of $36,903 from the sale of Panthera Exploration Inc. shares. In 2008, this was a result of an increase of $829,800 of marketable securities.

Effective January 1, 2008 the Company entered into a consulting agreement with a company controlled by a director of the Company for a fee of $10,000 per month plus reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses.  Discretionary bonuses may also be paid if approved by the compensation committee. Accordingly, the total compensation paid to the director in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $50,000 (2008 -$90,000).

(d)
The President of the Company provides his services on a full-time basis under a contract with a private company controlled by the President for an annual fee of $250,000.  Accordingly, the total compensation paid to the President in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $187,500 (2008 - $187,500).

Critical Accounting Estimates and Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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

Reference should be made to the Company’s significant accounting policies contained in Note 4 of the Company's consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006.  These accounting policies can have a significant impact of the financial performance and financial position of the Company.

Mineral Properties

During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company retrospectively changed its accounting policy for exploration expenditures to be more relevant. Prior to the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company capitalized all such costs to mineral properties held directly or through an investment and only wrote down capitalized costs when the property was abandoned or if the capitalized costs were not considered to be economically recoverable.

 
- 8 -

 

Exploration expenditures are now charged to operations as they are incurred until the property reaches development stage. All direct costs related to the acquisition of mineral property interests will continue to be capitalized. Development expenditures incurred subsequent to a development decision, and to increase or to extend the life of existing production, are capitalized and will be amortized on the unit-of-production method based upon estimated proven and probable reserves.

The Company has accounted for this change in accounting policy on a retroactive basis. As a result of the change, deficit as at September 30, 2008 increased by $337,833, while net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 increased by $337,833, the net loss per share increased by $0.02 to $0.06 per share, and the amount reported for mineral properties as at September 30, 2008 decreased by $337,833.  Operating cash flows from operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 increased by $18,219, 672, while cash flows from investing activities decreased by $18,219,672.  All changes are as compared to amounts previously reported and the net loss per share reflects the retroactive effect of the share consolidation from the Arrangements.

When a property is placed in commercial production, acquisition costs will be depleted using the units-of-production method.  Management of the Company periodically reviews the recoverability of the capitalized mineral properties. Management takes into consideration various information including, but not limited to, results of exploration activities conducted to date, estimated future metal prices, and reports and opinions of outside geologists, mine engineers and consultants.  When it is determined that a project or property will be abandoned, then the costs are written-off, or if its carrying value has been impaired, then it is written down to fair value.

The Company accounts for foreign value added taxes paid as expenses when incurred.  The recovery of these taxes will commence on the beginning of foreign commercial operations.  Should these amounts be recovered they would be treated as a recovery of exploration expenses.

Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest, these procedures do not guarantee the Company's title.  Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

CICA Handbook Section 3064, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, establishes revised standards for recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of goodwill and intangible assets. Concurrent with the introduction of this standard, the CICA withdrew EIC 27, Revenues and Expenses during the pre-operating period. As a result of the withdrawal of EIC 27, companies will no longer be able to defer costs and revenues incurred prior to commercial production at new mine operations. On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted these changes, with no impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Credit Risk and Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities

In January 2009, the CICA issued EIC-173, “Credit Risk and the Fair Value of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” The EIC provides guidance on how to take into account credit risk of an entity and counterparty when determining the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, including derivative instruments.

This standard is effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009. Adoption of this EIC did not have a significant effect on the company’s financial statements.

Mining Exploration Costs

In March 2009, the CICA issued EIC-174, “Mining Exploration Costs.” The EIC provides guidance on the accounting and the impairment review of exploration costs. This standard is effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009. The application of this EIC did not have an effect on the company’s financial statements.

Business combinations, consolidated financial statements and non-controlling interest

In January 2009, the CICA issued CICA Handbook Section 1582, Business Combinations, Section 1601, Consolidations, and Section 1602, Non-controlling Interests. These sections replace the former CICA Handbook Section 1581, Business Combinations and Section 1600, Consolidated Financial Statements and establish a new section for accounting for a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary. CICA Handbook Section 1582 establishes standards for the accounting for a business combination, and states that all assets and liabilities of an acquired business will be recorded at fair value. Obligations for contingent considerations and contingencies will also be recorded at fair value at the acquisition date. The standard also states that acquisition-related costs will be expensed as incurred and that restructuring charges will be expensed in the periods after the acquisition date. It provides the Canadian equivalent to IFRS 3, Business Combinations (January 2008). The section applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after January 1, 2011.

CICA Handbook Section 1601 establishes standards for the preparation of consolidated financial statements.

CICA Handbook Section 1602 establishes standards for accounting for a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary in the preparation of consolidated financial statements subsequent to a business combination. It is equivalent to the corresponding provisions of IFRS International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 27, Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements (January 2008).

CICA Handbook Section 1601 and Section 1602 apply to interim and annual consolidated financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011. Earlier adoption of these sections is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year.

All three sections must be adopted concurrently. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of these sections.

International Financial Reporting Standards

The Company has been monitoring the deliberations and progress being made by accounting standard setting bodies and securities regulators in Canada and United States with respect to their plans regarding convergence to International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”):

 
·
In February 2008, the Canadian Accounting Standards Board confirmed that publicly listed companies will be required to adopt IFRS for interim and annual financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011. Early adoption may be permitted;  however, exemptive relief requires approval of the Canadian Securities Administrators.

 
·
In August 2008, the Securities and Exchange Commission of the United States announced that it would seek public comments on a proposed roadmap for the potential mandatory adoption of IFRS beginning in 2014 for large accelerated filers, accelerated filers in 2015 and then remaining public companies in 2016.

In preparation for the changeover from GAAP to IFRS, we commenced the planning process during the second quarter of 2009. Specific initiatives are underway and others have been planned for the transitioning from GAAP to IFRS. Current status of the project is as follows:

Resources
 
·
The Company has retained the service of a major public accounting firm to provide technical and process management assistance for the project.
 
·
The Company will continue to invest in training and resources to ensure a timely and effective conversion.

 
- 10 -

 

Process
 
·
A diagnostic assessment of the key impact areas has been completed.
 
·
A detailed assessment of accounting and measurement differences between IFRS and Canadian GAAP on current accounting policies, as well as new policies anticipated to be implemented as we transition to a producer, is currently underway.
 
·
Initial findings and observations from the work completed to date will serve as an input in establishing the key parameters to develop solutions during the design phase of the project.
 
·
A high-level impact assessment of IFRS conversion on our IT systems and tax processes is underway.
 
·
Our audit committee is monitoring our progress and is kept informed of issues identified.
 
·
Our external auditor is advised of the progress status and issues identified.

The Company anticipates that there will be changes in accounting policies and these changes may materially impact our financial statements.  In addition to the above, reference should be made to the recent accounting pronouncements in Canada and in United States that are described in Note 15 of the Company's consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006.

Financial Instruments

The Company's financial instruments as at September 30, 2009 consist of cash, short-term investments, amounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities.  For discussion of the valuation of these financial instruments for financial reporting purposes, refer to the Critical Accounting Estimates and Recent Accounting Pronouncements section above.

Risk Factors

The Company’s operations and results are subject to a number of different risks at any given time.  These factors, include but are not limited to disclosure regarding exploration, additional financing, project delay, titles to properties, price fluctuations and share price volatility, operating hazards, insurable risks and limitations of insurance, management, foreign country and regulatory requirements, currency fluctuations and environmental regulations risks. Exploration for mineral resources involves a high degree of risk. The cost of conducting programs may be substantial and the likelihood of success is difficult to assess.

Title Risk: Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest, these procedures do not guarantee the Company's title.  Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects.

Metal Price Risk: The Company’s portfolio of properties has exposure to predominantly Copper, silver and gold. The prices of these metals, especially copper, greatly affect the value of the Company and the potential value of its properties and investments.

Financial Markets: The Company is dependent on the equity markets as its sole source of operating working capital and the Company’s capital resources are largely determined by the strength of the junior resource markets and by the status of the Company’s projects in relation to these markets, and its ability to compete for the investor support of its projects.

Political Risk:  Exploration is presently carried out in Canada and is currently being reviewed in South America. This exposes the Company to risks that may not otherwise be experienced if all operations were domestic.  Political risks may adversely affect the Company’s potential projects and operations. Real and perceived political risk in some countries may also affect the Company’s ability to finance exploration programs and attract joint venture partners, and future mine development opportunities.

Currency Risk:  Business is transacted by the Company in a number of currencies.  Fluctuations in exchange rates may have a significant effect on the cash flows of the Company. Future changes in exchange rates could materially affect the Company’s results in either a positive or negative direction.

Environmental Risk: The Company seeks to operate within environmental protection standards that meet or exceed existing requirements in the countries in which the Company operates.  Present or future laws and regulations, however, may affect the Company’s operations.  Future environmental costs may increase due to changing requirements or costs associated with exploration and the developing, operating and closing of mines.  Programs

may also be delayed or prohibited in some areas.  Although minimal at this time, site restoration costs are a component of exploration expenses.

Disclosure Control and Procedures

The Company has established disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that information disclosed in this MD&A and the related financial statements was properly recorded, processed, summarized and reported to the Company’s Board of Directors and Audit Committee. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) have evaluated and assessed the design and the operating effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and are satisfied with the effectiveness and design of these disclosure controls and procedures for the quarter ended September 30, 2009.

The CEO and CFO acknowledge responsibility for the design, establishment and maintenance of internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”), to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. The CEO and CFO confirm that there were no changes in these controls that occurred subsequent to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, during the quarter ended September 30, 2009, except as disclosed below which materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s ICFR.

Based on that assessment, management concluded that, as at September 30, 2009, the Company‘s ICFR was not effective.  A material weakness existed in the design of ICFR caused by a lack of adequate segregation of duties in the financial close process. The CFO is responsible for preparing, authorizing, and reviewing information that is key to the preparation of financial reports. He is also responsible for preparing and reviewing the resulting financial reports. This weakness has the potential to result in material misstatements in the Company’s financial statements, and should also be considered a material weakness in its disclosure controls and procedures.

Management and the Board of Directors are continuing to work on developing compensating controls to mitigate the risk of ineffective segregation of duties. The Company will continue to monitor its internal controls and implement appropriate improvements as required.

Investor Relations

The Company maintains a website at www.kobexminerals.com.

On June 1, 2008, the Company entered into a one year agreement with Michael Baybak and Company (“MBC”) to provide assistance in the continuing development of shareholder communication, with particular focus in the United States. MBC was paid $4,000 per month, and 250,000 stock options were granted at $0.54, subject to a four-month hold period.  As of October 1, 2008, it was mutually agreed upon to suspend the monthly retainer and review the contract in 2009 for possible reinstatement.   This agreement was not reinstated.

Non-Registered Holders

Only registered shareholders or duly appointed proxyholders are permitted to vote at the Meeting.  Most shareholders of the Company are “non-registered” shareholders because the shares they own are not registered in their names but are instead registered in the name of the brokerage firm, bank or trust company through which they purchased the shares.  A person is not a registered shareholder (a “Non-Registered Holder”) in respect of shares which are held either:  (a) in the name of an intermediary (an “Intermediary”) that the Non-Registered Holder deals with in respect of the shares (Intermediaries include, among others, banks, trust companies, securities dealers or brokers and trustees or administrators of self-administered RRSPs, RRIFs, RESPs and similar plans); or (b) in the name of a clearing agency (such as CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc.(“CDS”), of which the Intermediary is a participant).

Non-Registered Holders who have not objected to their Intermediary disclosing certain ownership information about themselves to the Company are referred to as “NOBOs”.  Those Non-Registered Holders who have objected to their Intermediary disclosing ownership information about themselves to the Company are referred to as “OBOs”.  In accordance with the requirements of National Instrument 54101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators, the Company has elected to send the Notice of Meeting, this Circular and the Proxy (collectively, the “Meeting Materials”) directly to the NOBOs, and indirectly through Intermediaries to the OBOs.  The Intermediaries (or their service companies) are responsible for forwarding the Meeting Materials to each OBO, unless the OBO has waived the right to receive them.

Intermediaries will frequently use service companies to forward the Meeting Materials to the OBOs. Generally, an OBO who has not waived the right to receive Meeting Materials will either:

 
(a)
be given a form of proxy which has already been signed by the Intermediary (typically by a facsimile, stamped signature), which is restricted as to the number of shares beneficially owned by the OBO and must be completed, but not signed, by the OBO and deposited with Computershare; or

 
(b)
more typically, be given a voting instruction form (“VIF”) which is not signed by the Intermediary, and which, when properly completed and signed by the OBO and returned to the Intermediary or its service company, will constitute voting instructions which the Intermediary must follow.

These securityholder materials are being sent to both registered shareholders and Non-Registered Holders. If you are a Non-Registered Holder, and the Company or its agent has sent these materials to you, your name and address and information about your holdings of securities have been obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the Intermediary holding on your behalf. By choosing to send these materials to you directly, the Company (and not the Intermediary holding on your behalf) has assumed responsibility for (i) delivering these materials to you, and (ii) executing your proper voting instructions.  Please return your voting instructions as specified in the request for voting instruction.

The Meeting Materials sent to NOBOs who have not waived the right to receive meeting materials are accompanied by a VIF, instead of a form of proxy.  By returning the VIF in accordance with the instructions noted on it, a NOBO is able to instruct the voting of the shares owned by it.

 
- 2 -

 

VIFs, whether provided by the Company or by an Intermediary, should be completed and returned in accordance with the specific instructions noted on the VIF.  The purpose of this procedure is to permit Non-Registered Holders to direct the voting of the Shares which they beneficially own.  Should a Non-Registered Holder who receives a VIF wish to attend the Meeting or have someone else attend on his or her behalf, the Non-Registered Holder may request a legal proxy as set forth in the VIF, which will grant the Non-Registered Holder, or his or her nominee, the right to attend and vote at the Meeting.

Please return your voting instructions as specified in the VIF.  Non-Registered Holders should carefully follow the instructions set out in the VIF, including those regarding when and where the VIF is to be delivered.

Financial Statements

The audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2008, together with the auditor’s report on those statements (the “Financial Statements”), will be presented to the shareholders at the Meeting.

Corporate Cease Trade Orders or Bankruptcies

Mr. Angus serves as a director of Wildcat Silver Corporation (“Wildcat”) which requested and received notice from the British Columbia Securities Commission of the issuance of a management cease trader order on October 30, 2007. The management cease trade order was in connection with the late filing of its annual audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2007.  Wildcat’s failure to make the filing within the required time frame was due to the need to clarify potential tax

 
- 5 -

 

obligations relating to an acquisition it made.  The required filing was made on January 7, 2008 and the management cease trade order was revoked on January 8, 2008.

Mr. Shklanka is a director and chairman of Pacific Imperial Mines Inc. which company is the subject of cease trade orders issued by the British Columbia Securities Commission on November 8, 2008, and the Alberta Securities Commission on February 9, 2009 for failure to file financial statements and related documents as required.  The financial statements have since been filed and the company has applied for a revocation order. As of November 4, 2009, the cease trade orders were still in effect.  Mr. Shklanka is also a director of Texon Technologies Ltd., a private company, which received a Petition for a Receiving Order under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada) on August 27, 2004. The issues surrounding the Receiving Order were resolved in the first half of 2005 pursuant to a Plan of Arrangement.
Except as identified above, no director or proposed director of the Company is, or within the ten years prior to the date of this Circular has been, a director or executive officer of any company, including the Company, that while that person was acting in that capacity:

 
(a)
was the subject of a cease trade order or similar order or an order that denied the company access to any exemption under securities legislation for a period of more than 30 consecutive days; or

 
(b)
was subject to an event that resulted, after the director ceased to be a director or executive officer of the company being the subject of a cease trade order or similar order or an order that denied the relevant company access to any exemption under securities legislation, for a period of more than 30 consecutive days; or

 
(c)
within a year of that person ceasing to act in that capacity, became bankrupt, made a proposal under any legislation relating to bankruptcy or insolvency or was subject to or instituted any proceedings, arrangement or compromise with creditors or had a receiver, receiver manager or trustee appointed to hold its assets.

Individual Bankruptcies

No director of the Company has, within the ten years prior to the date of this Circular, become bankrupt or made a proposal under any legislation relating to bankruptcy or insolvency, or been subject to or instituted any proceedings, arrangement or compromise with creditors, or had a receiver, receiver manager or trustee appointed to hold the assets of that individual.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Named Executive Officers

During the financial year ended December 31, 2008, the Company had three Named Executive Officers of the Company, being Joseph Grosso, the former Chief Executive Officer and President, Mike Clark, the former Acting Chief Financial Officer, and Art Lang, the former Chief Financial Officer (preceding Mike Clark).

Art Lang resigned on September 3, 2008 and Mike Clark was appointed Chief Financial Officer in his place. Effective September 30, 2009 Joseph Grosso and Mike Clark resigned as officers of the Company, and Alfred Hills and Samuel Yik were appointed the Chief Executive Officer and President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, respectively.

 
- 6 -

 

“Named Executive Officer” means: (a) each Chief Executive Officer, (b) each Chief Financial Officer, (c) each of the three most highly compensated executive officers, or the three most highly compensated individuals acting in a similar capacity, other than the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, at the end of the most recently completed financial year whose total compensation was, individually, more than $150,000; and (d) each individual who would be a Named Executive Officer under paragraph (c) but for the fact that the individual was neither an executive officer of the company, nor acting in a similar capacity, at the end of that financial year.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

Compensation Discussion & Analysis

The compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers is determined by the Company’s Compensation Committee, a committee of the Company’s Board of Directors.

The Company’s compensation program is designed to provide competitive levels of compensation, a significant portion of which is dependent upon individual and corporate performance and contribution to increasing shareholder value. The Company recognizes the need to provide a total compensation package that will attract and retain qualified and experienced executives as well as align the compensation level of each executive to that executive’s level of responsibility.  In general, a Named Executive Officer’s compensation is comprised of salary and/or consulting fees and stock option grants.

The objectives and reasons for this system of compensation are generally to allow the Company to remain competitive compared to its peers in attracting experienced personnel.  The salaries and/or consulting fees are set on a basis of a review and comparison of compensation paid to executives at similar companies.

Stock option grants are designed to reward the Named Executive Officers for success on a similar basis as the shareholders of the Company, but these rewards are highly dependent upon the volatile stock market, much of which is beyond the control of the Named Executive Officers.

Share Performance Graph

The following graph compares the total cumulative shareholder return for Cdn$100 invested in common shares of the Company for the five year period ending December 31, 2008 with the cumulative total return of the Standard and Poor’s TSX Venture Composite Stock Index (“S&P/TSXV Composite”) over the same period.
 
Graph
 
 
- 7 -

 

The performance graph illustrates that the Company has underperformed the S&P/TSXV Composite Index (the “Index”) over the six most recently completed fiscal periods of the Company. Unlike the TSX Exchange, the TSX Venture Exchange does not have a separate Metals and Mining Index.  The Index thus may not be indicative of the performance of its industry peers on the Index.  Generally, performance trends were similarly aligned downwards for the last 3 fiscal periods from 2006 to 2008.

NEO total compensation reported from 2003 to 2006 is not necessarily reflective of Company performance in those periods or easily comparable to compensation in subsequent years as during that period, the Company did not employ any full-time executives since the business was still in its start-up phase. NEO total compensation reported for the years ended 2006 through 2008 is broadly consistent with the Company’s trend in performance in that total compensation of the NEOs decreased from 2006 to 2007 and levelled off in 2008.

Option-Based Awards

Stock option grants are made on the basis of the number of stock options currently held, position, overall individual performance, anticipated contribution to the Company’s future success and the individual’s ability to influence corporate and business performance. The purpose of granting such stock options is to assist the Company in compensating, attracting, retaining and motivating the officers, directors, employees and consultants of the Company and to closely align the personal interest of such persons to the interest of the shareholders.

The recipients of incentive stock options and the terms of the stock options granted are determined from time to time by the Compensation Committee, who is responsible for administering the Company’s stock option plan (the “Stock Option Plan”).  The exercise price of the stock options granted is generally determined by the market price at the time of grant.

Narrative discussion

During the year ended December 31, 2008 Joseph Grosso provided his services to the Company through Oxbow International Marketing Corp. ("Oxbow").  The Company entered into a consulting agreement with Oxbow (the “Oxbow Consulting Agreement”) effective as of July 1, 1999, subsequently amended on May 1, 2006, and further amended in November 2008, pursuant to which Mr. Grosso provided executive services as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. On April 12, 2006 the Board accepted the recommendation from the Compensation Committee to increase the monthly consulting fee effective May 1, 2006 to $20,833 ($250,000 per annum) and to pay a bonus of $150,000. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, Oxbow was paid $250,000 (2007 - $250,000, 2006 – 350,667). In connection with the Business Combination, the Oxbow Consulting Agreement was terminated effective September 30, 2009 and a termination payment of $1,211,500 was paid relating to the above bonus and termination benefits.

Narrative Discussion

The following information is intended as a brief description of the Stock Option Plan and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Stock Option Plan, which will be available for review at the Meeting.

1.
The Stock Option Plan provides that options may be granted to any employee, officer, director or consultant of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company.

2.
The options issued pursuant to the Stock Option Plan will be exercisable at a price not less than the Market Value (as such term is defined in the Stock Option Plan) of the Company’s common shares at the time the option is granted.

3.
Options granted under the Stock Option Plan will be granted for a term not to exceed 10 years from the date of their grant, provided that if the Company is then a “Tier 2” company listed on the TSX Venture Exchange, the term of the option will be not more than five years.

 
4.
Options under the Stock Option Plan will be subject to such vesting schedule as the Compensation Committee may determine.  In the event that an option is to be terminated prior to expiry of its term due to certain corporate events, all options then outstanding shall become immediately exercisable for 10 days after notice thereof, notwithstanding the original vesting schedule.

5.
Options will also be non-assignable and non-transferable, provided that they will be exercisable by an optionee’s legal heirs, personal representatives or guardians for up to 12 months following the death or termination of an optionee due to disability, or up to 12 months following the death of an employee if the employee dies within 12 months of termination due to disability.  All such options will continue to vest in accordance with their original vesting schedule.

6.
The maximum number of common shares to be reserved for issuance under the Stock Option Plan, including options currently outstanding, will not exceed 10% of the number of common shares of the Company issued and outstanding on the applicable date of grant.

TERMINATION AND CHANGE OF CONTROL BENEFITS

Pursuant to the terms of the Oxbow Consulting Agreement, in the event the agreement was terminated by the Company as a result of Mr. Grosso’s death or permanent disability while providing services to the Company, or by Mr. Grosso as a result of a material breach or default by the Company, Oxbow was entitled to a bonus payment in the amount of $461,500 plus one year of annual fees.  In the event the agreement was terminated by the Company without cause or as a result of a change of control, Oxbow

was entitled to (i) any monthly compensation due to the date of termination, (ii) options as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors, (iii) three years of Mr. Grosso’s monthly compensation (which may be adjusted annually), and (iv) a bonus payment of $461,500.  The Oxbow Consulting Agreement was terminated on September 30, 2009, and as a result of the Business Combination.  Oxbow received $1,211,500 in termination payments.

Composition of Audit Committee and Independence

National Instrument 52-110 Audit Committees, (“NI 52-110”) provides that a member of an audit committee is “independent” if the member has no direct or indirect material relationship with the Company, which could, in the view of the Company’s board of directors, reasonably interfere with the exercise of the member’s independent judgment.

Financial Literacy and Relevant Education and Experience

NI 52-110 provides that an individual is “financially literate” if he or she has the ability to read and understand a set of financial statements that present a breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of the issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by the Company’s financial statements.

Mr. Atkinson is director of the Company and is currently President of Maverick Projects Inc., a private consulting company focusing on merchant banking opportunities.  He has over 15 years of investment and venture capital industry experience including assisting in forming Quest Capital Corp.

Mr. Angus is a director of the Company and is an independent business consultant to the mining industry. Prior involvement included Managing Director – Mergers and Acquisitions with the Endeavour Group, and Partner and Head of the Global Mining Group with the legal firm Fasken Martineau DuMoulin LLP.

In these positions, each member of the Audit Committee has been responsible for receiving financial information relating to the various companies which they have acted for.  Additionally, each member has obtained an understanding of balance sheets, income statements and statements of cash flows and how these statements are integral in assessing the financial position of the Company and its operation results. Each member of the Audit Committee has an understanding of the business in which the Company is engaged in and has an appreciation for the relevant accounting principles for the business of the Company.

Audit Committee Oversight

Since the commencement of the Company’s most recently completed financial year, the audit committee of the Company has not made any recommendations to nominate or compensate an external auditor which were not adopted by the board of directors of the Company.

Reliance on Certain Exemptions

Since the commencement of the Company’s most recently completed financial year, the Company has not relied on:

 
(a)
the exemption in section 2.4 (De Minimis Non-audit Services) of NI 52-110; or

 
(b)
an exemption from NI 52-110, in whole or in part, granted under Part 8 (Exemptions).

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE DISCLOSURE

National Instrument 58-101, Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices, requires all companies to provide certain annual disclosure of their corporate governance practices with respect to the corporate governance guidelines (the “Guidelines”) adopted in National Policy 58-201.  These Guidelines are not prescriptive, but have been used by the Company in adopting its corporate governance practices.  The Company’s approach to corporate governance is set out below.

The Board of Directors

The Board of Directors has responsibility for the stewardship of the Company, specifically to oversee the operation of the Company and to supervise management.

The actions of the Board are governed by the requirements under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) to act honestly, in good faith and in the best interests of the shareholders of the Company and to exercise care, diligence and skill in doing so.

The Board endeavours to ensure that its composition complies with the Company’s constating documents, applicable securities rules and regulations of Canada and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange and the American Stock Exchange.

The Board consists of six directors, the majority of whom would be considered “independent” in that the person has no direct or indirect material relationship with the Company which, in the view of the Board, would be reasonably expected to interfere with the exercise of the director’s independent judgment.

In determining if a person is independent, the Board has compiled, reviewed and discussed the existence, nature and materiality of any direct or indirect relationship between the member and the Company. Messrs. Michael Atkinson, R. Stuart (Tookie) Angus, James O’Rourke, and Alex Davidson are independent directors.  Messrs. Roman Shklanka and Alfred Hills would not be considered independent.

The Chair of the Board is Mr. Roman Shklanka, who is not an independent director of the Company

The Board considers that, given the entrepreneurial nature of the Company, and the current stage of the Company’s development, the present number and composition of directors is appropriate.  The Board as presently constituted includes considerable experience in the mining industry as well as financial experience.

The Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company, Mr. Alf Hills, is a member of management and a director of the Company.  In view of the size of the Company, management representation on the Board, and the nature of its business, it is essential that those having an intimate knowledge of the Company’s operations be present during most important Board discussions.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, when the Board considers it appropriate, the independent directors meet without management present at the meeting.  The Board is of the view that it can function independently of management when required to do so.

The following directors of the Company are directors of other reporting issuers

Stuart Angus is a director of Coro Mining Corp., Nevsun Resources Ltd., Bolero Resources Corp., Wildcat Silver Corporation, Ventana Gold Corp., Dynasty Gold Corporation, Plutonic Power Corporation, San Marco Resources Inc., Santa Fe Metals Corporation, SouthGobi Energy

 
- 17 -

 

 
Resources Ltd., Stealth Energy Inc., Uranium North Resources Corp., Tirex Resources Ltd., Tsodio Resources Limited, Blackstone Ventures Inc., and CMQ Resources Inc.;

Michael Atkinson is a director of Polaris Geothermal Inc., Canadian Phoenix Resources Corp., and Bonanza Resources Corporation;

Alexander Davidson is a director of Noront Resources Ltd;

Roman Shklanka is a director of Pacific Imperial Mines Inc. and Polaris Minerals Inc.;

Alfred Hills is not a director of any other reporting issuer; and

James O’Rourke is a director of Compliance Energy Corporation, Copper Mountain Mining Corporation, and Huckleberry Mines Limited.

During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Board of was composed of Joseph Grosso, R. Stuart Angus, Jerry Minni, David Terry, David Horton, Leonard Harris and Michael Atkinson.  The information below sets out the Board meetings held and the attendance for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Board Mandate

Every director takes part in the process of establishing policies for the Company. The Board of Directors has assumed the responsibility for developing the Company’s approach to governance and responding to current governance guidelines.  To that end, the Board has adopted the following mandate and objectives:

 
(a)
The Strategic Planning Process

The Board participates in the Company’s strategic planning by considering and, if deemed appropriate, adopting plans as proposed and developed by management, with management having the primary responsibility for initially developing a strategic plan.

 
- 18 -

 

 
(b)
Principal Risks

The Board considers the risks inherent in the mining industry and receives periodic assessments from management and others as to these risks and the Company’s strategies to manage those risks.

 
(c)
Policies

The Board reviews and approves key policy statements, codes of conduct or practices developed by management to promote ethical business conduct, regulatory compliance and public disclosure practices, among others, and monitors or oversees compliance with those policies, codes or practices.

 
(d)
Committees

The Board is responsible for appointing and reviewing the mandate and composition of any Committee of the Board and considering and approving any changes to the composition, charter or mandate of any Committee of the Board.

 
(e)
Independence

The Board is responsible for establishing appropriate structures and procedures so that the Board and its Committees can function independently of management.

 
(f)
Compensation Practices

The Board will review the recommendations of the Compensation Committee regarding the Company’s compensation practices including Stock Option Grants.

 
(g)
Material Agreements and Documents

The Board will approve or ratify significant projects, investments, dispositions, acquisitions or other material agreements proposed to be entered into by the Company and review and approve all documents required by law to be reviewed and approved by the Board, including annual audited financial statements, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of financial results, Information Circulars to be disseminated in connection with any meeting of shareholders and any prospectus, registration statement or other similar documents.

 
(h)
Succession Planning

The Board reviews the personnel needs of the Company from time to time, having particular regard to succession issues relating to senior management.  The training and development of personnel is generally left to management.  The Board appoints the President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, as well as the officers of the Company.

 
(i)
Communications Policy

The Board assesses the effectiveness of the Company’s communications with shareholders and has established a Disclosure and Insider Trading Policy to ensure that material matters are disseminated in a timely manner.

 
- 19 -

 

 
(j)
Integrity of Internal Controls

The Board, through the Audit Committee and in conjunction with its auditors, assesses the adequacy of the Company’s internal control systems and has instituted the controls required by the U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as applicable. The internal control review process is undertaken on an annual basis during the year end financial audit.  The Audit Committee also reviews and assesses the financial statements on a quarterly basis and annually reviews the adequacy of the Company’s Disclosure and Insider Trading Policy.

 
(k)
General

The Board will generally assume such responsibility and authorities as the Board sees fits, consistent with its duties and responsibilities to the Company and its shareholders.

The Board has approved written mandates for its two standing Committees, namely, the Audit Committee and Compensation Committee.  In order to foster a corporate culture of excellence, the Board has also adopted a written Code of Business Conduct and Ethics applicable to all employees, officers and directors.

The Board has not adopted a formal system which would enable an individual director to engage an outside advisor at the expense of the Company.  If such an engagement were deemed appropriate, it is anticipated that such a request would be brought by the particular director to the Board or Audit Committee for consideration.

Position Descriptions

The Company has not formally developed position descriptions for the directors, Chairman of the Board, the Chairman of each standing committee of the Board or the Chief Executive Officer.  However, the Board is satisfied that the directors and senior management are fully aware of their responsibilities and those matters that are within their authority.

Orientation and Education of Directors

The Company does not have a formal process of orientation and education for new members of the Board.  The independent Board members currently have considerable experience as members of the boards of other public companies.  Senior management regularly provides updates to all directors on material developments in the Company’s business.

Nomination of Directors

The Board has not constituted a separate nominating committee to propose new nominees to the Board or for assessing directors’ performance as the Board considers the Company too small to justify a more formal process.  The Board as a whole from time to time discusses potential candidates for the Board, taking into account the overall composition, skills and experience of the Board as a whole.

Orientation and Education of Directors

The Company does not have a formal process of orientation and education for new members of the Board.  The independent Board members currently have considerable experience as members of the boards of other public companies.  Senior management regularly provides updates to all directors on material developments in the Company’s business.

Ethical Business Conduct

The Board has adopted a written Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Code”) and a Whistle-Blower Policy and Procedures.  A copy of the Code and Whistle-Blower Policy can be found on the Company website at http://www.kobexminerals.com under the Corporate Governance section.  The Board has appointed a Compliance Officer who is responsible for monitoring compliance with the Code, investigating and resolving all reported complaints and allegations concerning violations of the Code. The Compliance Officer has direct access to the Audit Committee and the Board and the Compliance Officer is required to report to the Board at least annually on compliance activity.  Where any director has an interest, direct or indirect in a material contract or material transaction relating to the Company, the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) requires that the director disclose his or her interest to the Board in advance and thereafter abstain from voting as a director on that matter.  The Code adopted by the Board goes further by imposing more stringent disclosure and approval requirements than those imposed under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia).

Where a director has a material interest in a transaction or agreement concerning the Company, the Board takes such steps as may be prudent to isolate and eliminate or reduce the potential for such a conflict of interest to interfere with the Board’s exercise of independent judgment.  This may include requiring the director to excuse himself or herself from deliberations of the Board or referring that matter for consideration by a committee of independent directors of the Board.

Board Committees

The Board has two standing committees of its directors, namely the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee.  A formal written mandate has been approved by the Board for each such Committee.  The Board may at any time constitute and appoint such other Committees and delegate such functions or responsibilities as it sees fit.

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee members are Messrs. R. Stuart (Tookie) Angus, Alex Davidson, and Alfred Hills. The Compensation Committee meets at least twice a year and otherwise as required. The Compensation Committee has responsibility for oversight of the Company’s overall human resources policies and procedures as well as review of executive and key employee compensation and compensation of the Company’s independent directors. The Compensation Committee is also responsible for the administration of the Stock Option Plan.

The Audit Committee

The Audit Committee has three members, consisting of Michael Atkinson, R. Stuart (Tookie) Angus, and James O’Rourke, all of whom are independent directors and are financially literate. Michael Atkinson is Chairman of the Committee. The Audit Committee reviews the annual and interim financial statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis before the Board approves them.

Due to its size, the Company has no formal internal audit process.  The Audit Committee has direct communication channels with the external auditors and is responsible for setting the auditor’s remuneration and recommending to the Board the appointment of the auditor. The external auditors report directly to the Audit Committee.

The full charter of the Audit Committee is attached hereto as Schedule “A”.

Director Assessments

The Chairman of the Board has responsibility for ensuring the effective operation of the Board and its committees and for ensuring the Board’s directors are performing effectively.
