SILVER DRAGON RESOURCES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(AN EXPLORATION STAGE COMPANY)
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2008 and 2007
(Unaudited)

1. Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation

Silver Dragon Resources Inc. ("SDR") a Delaware corporation, incorporated on May 9, 1996. SDR is headquartered in Ontario, Canada and operates primarily in the United States, Mexico and China. On June 15, 1996, SDR acquired all of the outstanding stock of California Electric Automobile Co., Inc. ("CEAC"), a California corporation incorporated on November 14, 1995.

SDR and its subsidiaries (the "Company") are in the exploration stage as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board's ("FASB") Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.7. "Accounting and Reporting For Development Stage Enterprises." To date, the Company has generated minimal sales and has devoted its efforts primarily to developing its products, implementing its business strategy and raising working capital through equity financing or short-term borrowings.

The Company's mission is to acquire and develop a portfolio of silver properties in proven silver districts globally.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("US GAAP") for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company's management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2008. The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.

2. Going Concern and Exploration Stage Activities

These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America with the assumption that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company incurred a net loss of $1,273,191 for the three month period ended March 31, 2008 (2007 – 2,538,685) and has accumulated losses since inception of $23,586,304. The Company's continuation as a going concern is uncertain and dependant on successfully bringing its product to market, achieving future profitable operations and obtaining additional sources of financing to sustain its operations. In the event the Company cannot obtain the necessary funds, it will be necessary to delay, curtail or cancel the further exploration of its products and services. The Company is currently in discussions with several parties in an attempt to raise debt and/or equity to increase general working capital, finance existing obligations, and fund future exploration programs. There can be no assurance the Company can successfully raise monies, and these matters raise some doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff Position SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands the related disclosure requirements. SFAS 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS 157 indicates, among other things, that a fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell an asset or transfer a liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. SFAS 157 defines fair value based upon an exit price model. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Positions (FSP) SFAS No. 157-1, “Application of FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement No. 13 and Its Related Interpretive Accounting Pronouncements That Address Leasing Transactions,” and FSP SFAS No. 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157.” FSP SFAS 157-1 removes leasing transactions from the scope of SFAS 157, while SFAS No. 157-2 defers the effective date of SFAS 157 to the fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2008 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis. It does not defer recognition and disclosure requirements for financial assets and financial liabilities, or for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are remeasured at least annually. Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS 157, with the exception of the application of the statement to non-recurring nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities. The adoption of SFAS 157 did not impact the Company’s financial position or results of operations

In February 2008, FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) on SFAS No. 140-3, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets and Repurchase Financing Transactions” (“FSP SFAS 140-3”).  The objective of this FSP is to provide guidance on accounting for a transfer of a financial asset and a repurchase financing.  This FSP presumes that an initial transfer of a financial asset and a repurchase financing are considered part of the same arrangement (linked transaction) under SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities” ("SFAS 140").  However, if certain criteria are met, the initial transfer and repurchase financing shall not be evaluated as a linked transaction and shall be evaluated separately under SFAS No. 140.  FSP SFAS 140-3 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within these fiscal years.  Earlier application is not permitted.  The Company is currently reviewing the effect, if any; the proposed guidance will have on its  financial statements.

3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements (cont'd)

In February 2008, FASB issued FSP SOP 07-1-1, “Effective Date of AICPA Statement of Position 07-1” (“SOP 07-1-1”).  SOP 07-1-1 delays indefinitely the effective date of AICPA Statement of Position 07-1, “Clarification of the Scope of the Audit  and  Accounting  Guide Investment Companies and Accounting by Parent Companies and Equity Method Investors for Investments in Investment Companies'' ("SOP No. 07-1").  SOP No. 07-1 clarifies when an entity may apply the provisions of the Guide.  Investment companies that are within the scope of the Guide report investments at fair value;  consolidation  or  use  of  the equity method for investments  is  generally  not  appropriate.  SOP No.  07-1 also addresses the retention of specialized investment company accounting by a parent company in consolidation or by an equity method investor.  The proposed guideline will have no effect on the Company’s financial statements as it is not an investment company.

In March 2008, FASB issued SFAS 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133" ("SFAS 161"). SFAS 161 changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact that the adoption of SFAS 161 could have on its financial statements.

In April 2008, FASB issued FASB Staff Position SFAS No. 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets” (“FSP SFAS No. 142-3”).  FSP SFAS No. 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognizable intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS No. 142”).  The intent of FSP SFAS No. 142-3 is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognizable intangible asset under SFAS No. 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS 141(R), “Business Combinations” and other U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.  FSP SFAS No. 142-3 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  Early adoption is prohibited.  The Company is assessing the potential impact that the adoption of SFAS142-3 could have on its financial position or results of operations.

4. Fair Value Measurements

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS 157, except as it applies to the non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities subject to FSP SFAS 157-2.  SFAS 157 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants.  As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability.  As a basis for considering such assumptions, SFAS 157 establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

Level 1 - Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 - Include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

Cash and cash equivalents (level 1), accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and bank indebtedness (level 2) are reflected in the consolidated balance sheets at carrying value, which approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

5. Other Receivables

Other receivables are net of allowance for doubtful amounts of $269,085. The allowance for doubtful amounts was determined based on management’s best estimate of the collectability of the receivables.

13. Litigation

On February 28, 2008 the Company issued 333,333 shares of the Company's restricted common stock to a company in settlement of a Preliminary Injunction. As part of the settlement, the per share purchase price of each of the 250,000 Class A and 250,000 Class B warrants held by the company were reduced to $0.60 from $2.00 and $5.00, respectively. $165,000 was accrued to subscriptions payable at December 31, 2007 and was treated as a capital transaction with a redemption to additional paid-in capital. The parties are currently involved in negotiations regarding a claim for liquidated damages set forth in the Complaint and a demand for the plaintiff’s attorneys' fees.  A status conference with the Court is scheduled for May 30, 2008. The Company cannot reasonably determine the outcome of this claim.

14. Commitments and Contingencies

a) On April 1, 2007, the Company entered into a five year lease agreement for office space with an option to renew for an additional five years. The future minimum commitment under the lease obligations for office premises are as follows:

Remainder of 2008

   $  37,076

2009

$  53,554

2010

$  54,928

2011

$  54,928

2012

$  13,732

In addition, the Company is required to pay its proportionate share of realty taxes and certain other occupancy costs under the terms of the lease.

b)  On December 28, 2007, a subsidiary of the Company entered into an agreement to fund a scientific research project in China for approximately $400,000 payable over a three year period commencing January 1, 2008.

c)  Under the terms of the agreement with Jaime Muguiro Pena, the Company earned 100% interest in 10 mining concessions in consideration for $450,000 and the issuance of 450,000 restricted common stock of the Company. The agreement also stipulates that the 450,000 common shares issued under the purchase agreement has a minimum value of $450,000 ($1.00 per share issued), which therefore obligates the Company to compensate for any shortfall in the share price.

15. Subsequent Events

On March 31, 2008, the Company entered into a consulting agreement effective May 1, 2008 with a director of the Company for a term of three years to provide advisory services. The consultant will be compensated $15,000 per month for the term of the contract.

In April 2008 the Company closed private placements totaling 900,000 units at $0.25 per unit for gross proceeds of $225,000. Each unit consists of one common share and one $0.50 per share purchase warrant exercisable within a two year period from the date of the closing of the private placement.

On April 18, 2008, the Company issued 1,200,000 units in the capital of the Company to a company controlled by a director as consideration for the conversion of loans payable in the amount of $300,000. Each $0.25 unit consists of one common share and one $0.50 per share purchase warrant exercisable within a two year period from April 18, 2008.

On April 21, 2008 Marc Hazout stepped down as President and CEO effective immediately. Colin Sutherland has since been appointed interim CEO until a new CEO is appointed.

On May 1, 2008 the Company issued 25,000 of the Company's restricted common stock to an individual, pursuant to a one-year accounting services contract for fair value of $5,000.

On May 6, 2008 the Company closed a private placement totaling 250,000 units at $0.20 per unit for gross proceeds of $50,000. Each unit consists of one common share and one $0.50 per share purchase warrant exercisable within a two year period from the date of the closing of the private placement.

16. Financial Instruments

Unless otherwise noted, it is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from the financial instruments. The fair value of the financial instruments approximates their carrying values, unless otherwise noted.

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, other receivables, accounts payables, bank indebtedness, and accrued liabilities, as applicable, approximates fair value due to the short term nature of these items and/or the current interest rates payable in relation to current market conditions.

Financial risk is the risk that the Company's earnings are subject to fluctuations in interest risk or currency risk and are fully dependent upon the volatility of these rates. The Company does not use derivative instruments to moderate its exposure to financial risk, if any.

16. Financial Instruments (cont’d)

Concentration of Credit Risk

SFAS No. 105, "Disclosure of Information About Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk and Financial Instruments with Concentration of Credit Risk", requires disclosure of any significant off-balance-sheet risk and credit risk concentration. The Company does not have significant off-balance-sheet risk or credit concentration. The Company maintains cash and short-term investments with major financial institutions. From time to time, the Company has funds on deposit with commercial banks that exceed federally insured limits. Management does not consider this to be a significant credit risk as these banks and financial institutions are well-known.

Currency Risk

While the reporting currency is the US Dollar (“USD”), approximately 24% of consolidated costs and expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2008  are denominated in the Chinese Yuan (“RMB”) and Mexican Peso (“MXN”). As at March 31, 2008, 7% of the assets and 34% of the liabilities are denominated in RMB and MXN. The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk as the results of operations may be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rates between the USD, RMB and the MXN.

The Company has not entered into any hedging transactions in an effort to reduce the exposure to currency risk.

Plan of Operation (all figures stated in US Dollars unless otherwise stated)

Overview.

Our primary objective is to explore for silver minerals and, if warranted, to develop those existing mineral properties. Our secondary objective is to locate, evaluate, and acquire other mineral properties, and to finance our exploration and development through equity financing, by way of joint venture or option agreements or through a combination of both.  The Company announced changes to the Management team recently, and has two primary objectives right now.  One is to find a suitable replacement for the position of CEO, and the second is to finance the company.  The Board has actively been pursuing various financing and strategic partnering solutions, and continues to work diligently on these initiatives.  

Plans for the Year 2008.

China

Our property in China has been aggressively drilled, however, drilling had ceased during the winter months commencing in November 2007, and as at March 31, 2008 had not yet commenced.  A test operation will be commenced to provide basic data on design, ore dressing and business profits to be used in planning for future large-scale production. Geologic mapping, trenching and drilling work is underway for four of the properties known as Dadi, Saihanaobao, Zhuanxinhu and Laopandao. The initial NI 43-101 report on the Erbaohuo property was released on July 17, 2007 the second NI 43-101 commissioned on the Laopandao is expected in the third quarter.

The NI 43-101 report recommends additional work in the areas of QA, QC, sampling, survey drill hole recovery and additional sample data for both more reliable interpretation and interpolation. The report recommends that the work be carried out in two phases but that the Phase 2 exploration work not be contingent on the results of Phase 1. However Phase 2 will not commence until Phase 1 is completed and appropriate funding is in place to commence the exploration work for 2009. The results of Phase 1 will assist the planning of Phase 2 exploration.

- 14 -


Phase 1

Compile all existing geophysical surveys and extend an induced polarisation survey over the concession area, replacing any lines from historical exploration that have any doubt. Compile all available data.

Conduct a gravity survey.

Conduct a magnetic survey and process an image using the very latest software. All magnetic data will be DGPS registered and reduced to pole.

Generate a full 3D geological model of the deposit. Such a geological model should help to better understand the morphology of the mineralized lodes and also to assign specific gravity values on the basis of rock types.

Substantially increase the specific gravity determinations database.

Add geology modeling software and plotting facilities at the site office, including 3D modeling and GIS. Compile all existing data.

Generate a total station surveyed surface DTM tying in with the existing closed survey station control.

Open up the previous workings, ensure sufficient support and use these for underground sampling and drilling.

Produce a 3D wire framed model of all old workings.

Integrate detailed geological mapping with multi-spectral Landsat and ultra-detailed imagery from Ikonos satellite imagery. Integrate with IP and gravity survey data. This will add structural and lithological data and will identify zones of alteration. Multi-spectral Landsat and satellite radar imagery can be processed using advanced techniques at the Beijing Institute of Remote Sensing.

Phase 2:

There is additional resource potential for Erbahuo; both along strike and in some areas at depth. It is recommended to carry out additional brownfields exploration to increase the understanding of the geology, and conduct additional drilling. The 3d model indicates that the resource can possibly be extended along strike and is open at depth in some sections. Drilling from surface and possibly from underground should be employed to explore for additional resources at depth and to close the resource along strike. Use the developed 3d models to plan infill drill and other sampling programs. Diamond drilling of 10 holes for 3,000 metres should be planned to infill and target strike and depth resource potential. At least 2 drill holes should twin old holes to check for bias and to determine if historical drilling should be retained in the database or replaced. The cost of drilling is around $100/metre and for assaying $60/assay. We intend to ensure international standard drill program supervision and procedures, downhole deviation measurement, depth of drilling versus core run checks and improve core recovery for the drilling. The drillcore must be stored in a core farm. We will follow the exploration program recommended by the NI 43-101 report and revisit the program on a quarterly basis.

Management has decided to discontinue it’s consideration of the acquisition from Hubei Silver and Cistex of a 60% equity interest in Hubei Silver which holds the exploration and mining rights to the Hubei Silver Mine located in Zhushan County, Shiyan City, Hubei Province, China due to the inability of Hubei Silver to deliver the requisite information necessary for us to conduct our due diligence and confirm the value of Hubei Silver.

Mexico

Our mining and exploitation activities in Mexico are in the exploration stage. We will recommence exploring the concessions through drilling, trenching and drifting upon successful funding. Our objective is to find new ore bodies and expand the resource of the existing ore bodies. There are currently seven mining shafts, which were used to extract underground ore in the past. We have built a ramp directly to one of the main ore bodies in order to extract the ore daily and load it onto trucks for transport to a processing plant. An initial NI 43-101 report has been completed and concluded that the exploration done by Silver Dragon Mexico during 2006 indicates that the potential resources inferred there justify the cost of further exploration and development. The cost of this report was approximately $25,000.

The NI 43-101 report recommends a program of detailed geologic mapping, surface geochemical sampling and ground magnetic sampling to collect the basic geotechnical information that will be necessary to support an effective exploration and development program at Cerro Las Minitas. The program will include geologic mapping of the entire outcropping portion of the Cerro Las Minitas Dome at a scale of 1:2000, with more detailed mapping in areas of special interest, and definition of project stratigraphy in detail from examination of exposures and drill core. Additionally, the program will include reconnaissance geochemical soil and rock sampling and ground magnetic surveying to cover the entire property. This first phase program will include drilling 30 diamond drill holes from surface (4500 meters) to develop oxide resources identified on the property and an additional six diamond drill holes (1200 meters) drilled from underground in the Puro Corazón mine to further develop discoveries of sulfide mineralization made during the 2006 drilling program. The goals of this program are:

1.

To compile a basic database of geotechnical information to support effective exploration at Cerro Las Minitas. All existing data will be incorporated into the database and recorded on maps, data sheets and reports on the various categories of geotechnical information. This geotechnical data will bear heavily on every phase of the Cerro Las Minitas Project and is strongly recommended.

2.

To define, by analysis of geotechnical data collected, the sites on the property that offer the best potential for near-term discovery of near-surface oxide ore. Those discoveries are anticipated to extend downwards into unoxidized sulfide ores. Definition of the most favorable sites for further exploration expenditure will enhance the effectiveness of the Project and hasten its development and is strongly recommended.

3.

To define and develop the inferred oxide resources that have been identified on the property, including drilling, trenching and preliminary metallurgical tests. Oxide resources already identified on the property offer the best potential for near-term, low-cost production from the project and justify this expenditure.

4.

To define and further develop the carbonate replacement Ag-Pb-Zn mineralization that was discovered west of the Puro Corazón mine in 2006. The exploration model suggests that carbonate replacement deposits at Cerro Las Minitas may offer the greatest long-term production potential on the property and justifies this investigation.

We will follow the exploration program recommended by the NI 43-101 report and revisit the program on a quarterly basis. Currently, surface geochemical sampling and geologic mapping are underway to define drill targets in the southwest of the Puro Curazon working and to the southeast of the La Pina-La Bocona workings. In La Chiva structure in the Puro Corazon workings, work is underway to define grades and tonnages. De-watering of the lower levels of both the Puro Corazon and La Bocona mines and rehabilitation of old workings have been completed.

We expect the cost of exploration activities, mine development and administration costs in Mexico over the next 12 months to be approximately $2,400,000, and the work would be contingent on a successful financing.

Cash Requirements.

We will need significant additional funds to continue operations, which we may not be able to obtain. We estimate that we must raise approximately $6 million over the next 12 months to fund our anticipated capital requirements and our obligations under the agreements for the concessions in Cerro las Minitas, Mexico and the agreement with Sino-Top, as well as the costs of exploration, mine development and administration.

Our agreement with Jaime Muguiro Pena required us to make a $450,000 payment along with 450,000 common shares in 2006. Our agreement with Minera Real Victoria, S.A. de C.V. required us to make a $100,000 payment on closing along with 2,000,000 common shares in 2006, further payments of $100,000 on September 11, 2006, and March 14, 2007, as well as one final payment of $100,000 which was due on March 14, 2008 and still outstanding at May 20, 2008.  We estimate that we will need to raise approximately $2,400,000 to meet our obligations under the Cerro las Minitas agreements, as well as to continue with the exploration and mining of the properties throughout 2008. In addition, we will require an additional $2,000,000 should we choose to exercise the option to purchase the mining concession from Silvia Villasenor Haro within 3 years of the closing, or $3,000,000 within 5 years of the closing. We currently do not have arrangements in place to raise the capital to fund these obligations.

Our agreement with Sino Silver and Sino-Top required us to make a $150,000 payment on closing, with a further payment of $100,000 made on May 20, 2006, and a balance of $400,000, which was paid, and the 2,000,000 common shares held in escrow were released, on November 7, 2006 when we received approval to the transaction by authorities in China. We have advanced a total of $6,131,052 to Sino Top to date for further exploration of the mining properties. We estimate that we will require a minimum of $3,600,000 for exploration and mining through the end of 2008.

We have historically satisfied our working capital requirements through the private issuances of equity securities as well as advances from related parties. We will continue to seek additional funds through such channels and from collaborative and other arrangements with corporate partners. In particular, we will need $6 million in additional funding to continue our operations for the next twelve months. If we fail to obtain sufficient funds, we may need to delay, scale back or terminate some or all of our mining exploration programs.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements or contractual obligations that have had or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that have not been disclosed in our financial statements.

Competitive Factors

The silver mining industry is fragmented, with many silver prospectors and producers, small and large. We do not compete with anyone with respect to our Chinese properties or on the Cerro las Minitas properties. There is no competition for the exploration or removal of minerals from these properties. We will either find silver on the properties or not. If we do not, we will cease or suspend further investment.

With respect to selling silver, we compete with both existing silver supplies and other silver producers. If the supply of silver exceeds demand in any given period, prices will fall until supply and demand is brought into balance. Many of these companies have substantially greater technical and financial resources than us. Thus we may be at a disadvantage with respect to some of our competitors.

Governmental Approvals and Regulations

Our mineral exploration programs are subject to the regulations of various Chinese and Mexican authorities.

Regulatory Obligations in Mexico

In Mexico, our mining activities are governed by the General Mining Law and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

We obtained initial authorizations and the relevant permits for the exploration of Cerro Las Minitas from the Ministry of Natural Resources (SEMARNAT). The initial authorization from SERMARNAT authorizing us to initiate the excavation of the soil on Cerro Las Minitas was issued in 2006. The excavation of soil must be carried out using digger machines, which are registered and authorized by SEMARNAT. Our machines are duly registered and authorized by SEMARNAT.

After the exploration stage, mining activities in Mexico are carried out in accordance with the permit issued by the General Direction of Mining Ministry of Economy under the plan of operations for mining activity submitted by an applicant. Since our current activities in Mexico are in the exploration stage, we have not yet submitted a plan of operations. After receiving confirmation of the existence of minerals, we are required to file an application with the General Direction of Mining of the Ministry of Economy to obtain concession titles for the exploitation of the minerals. As of today, we have obtained sixteen (16) Concession Titles for the Exploitation of Minerals in Cerro Las Minitas, which titles were granted according to the applicable provisions of the General Mining Law. We are further required to obtain additional permits commonly referred to as the Sole Environmental License from SEMARNAT and the National Water Commission (NWC). After we successfully obtain concession titles, we are required to submit annual reports in May of each year, detailing the work performed during the designated year on the properties specified by such concession titles.

Once mining activities commence, we must obtain additional permits and authorizations from the Ministry of Labor to operate special machinery used for the exploration of the Mining Field. Such special machinery includes but are not limited to pressured containers, boilers and other machinery designated for mining that are regulated by various National Official Norms (NOM). We are also required to file reports on safety, hygiene and minimum wage of our workers to the registry of the Labor Commissions as provided under Mexican Federal Labor Law.

Regulatory Obligations in China

Exploration for and exploitation of mineral resources in China is governed by the Mineral Resources Law of the PRC of 1986, amended effective January 1, 1997, and the Implementation Rules for the Mineral Resources Law of the PRC, effective March 26, 1994. In order to further implement these laws, on February 12, 1998 the State Council issued three sets of regulations: (i) Regulation for Registering to Explore Mineral Resources Using the Block System, (ii) Regulation for Registering to Mine Mineral Resources, and (iii) Regulation for Transferring Exploration and Mining Rights (together with the mineral resources law and implementation rules being referred to herein as "Mineral Resources Law").

Under Mineral Resources Law, the Ministry of Land and Resources and its local authorities (the "MLR") is in charge of the supervision of mineral resource exploration and development. The mineral resources administration authorities of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities, under the jurisdiction of the State, are in charge of the supervision of mineral resource exploration and development in their respective administration areas. The people's governments of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities, under the jurisdiction of the State, are in charge of coordinating the supervision by the mineral resources administration authorities on the same level.

- 18 -


The Mineral Resources Law, together with the Constitution of the PRC, provides that mineral resources are owned by the State, and the State Council, the highest executive organization of the State, which regulates mineral resources on behalf of the State. The ownership rights of the State include the rights to: (i) occupy, (ii) use, (iii) earn, and (iv) dispose of, mineral resources, regardless of the rights of owners or users of the land under which the mineral resources are located. Therefore, the State is free to authorize third parties to enjoy its rights to legally occupy and use mineral resources and may collect resource taxes and royalties pursuant to its right to earn. In this way, the State can control and direct the development and use of the mineral resources of the PRC.

Mineral Resources Licenses

China has adopted, under the Mineral Resources Law, a licensing system for the exploration and exploitation of mineral resources. The MLR is responsible for approving applications for exploration licenses and mining licenses. The approval of the MLR is also required to transfer exploration licenses and mining licenses.

Applicants must meet certain conditions as required by related rules/regulations. Pursuant to the Regulations for Registering to Mine Mineral Resources, the applicant for mining rights must present the required documents, including a plan for development and use of the mineral resources and an environmental impact evaluation report. The Mineral Resources Law allows individuals to exploit sporadic resources, sand, rocks and clay for use as construction materials and a small quantity of mineral resources for sustenance. However, individuals are prohibited from mining mineral resources that are more appropriately mined at a certain scale by a company, specified minerals that are subject to protective mining by the State and certain other designated mineral resources.

Once granted, all exploration and mining rights under the licenses are protected by the State from encroachment or disruption under the Mineral Resources Law. It is a criminal offence to steal, seize or damage exploration facilities, or disrupt the working order of exploration areas.

Exploration Rights

In order to conduct exploration, a Sino-foreign cooperative joint venture ("CJV") must apply to the MLR for an exploration license. Owners of exploration licenses are "licensees". The period of validity of an exploration license can be no more than three years. An exploration license area is described by a "basic block". An exploration license for metallic and non-metallic minerals has a maximum of 40 basic blocks. When mineral resources that are feasible for economic development have been discovered, a licensee may apply for the right to develop such mineral resources. The period of validity of the exploration license can be extended by application and each extension can be for no more than two years. The annual use fee for an exploration license is RMB 100 per square kilometre for the first three years and increases by RMB 100 per square kilometre for each subsequent year, subject to a maximum fee of RMB 500 per square kilometre.

During the term of the exploration license, the licensee has the privileged priority to obtain mining rights to the mineral resources in the exploration area, provided that the licensee meets the qualifying conditions for mining rights owners. An exploration licensee has the rights, among others, to: (i) explore without interference within the area under license during the license term, (ii) construct the exploration facilities, and (iii) pass through other exploration areas and adjacent ground to access the licensed area.

After the licensee acquires the exploration license, the licensee is obliged to, among other things: (i) begin exploration within the prescribed term, (ii) explore according to a prescribed exploration work scheme, (iii) comply with State laws and regulations regarding labour safety, water and soil conservation, land reclamation and environmental protection, (iv) make detailed reports to local and other licensing authorities, (v) close and occlude the wells arising from exploration work, (vi) take other measures to protect against safety concerns after the exploration work is completed, and (vii) complete minimum exploration expenditures as required by the Regulations for Registering to Explore Resources Using the Block.

- 19 -


Mining Rights

In order to conduct mining activities, a CJV must also apply for a mining license from the MLR. Owners of mining rights, or "concessionaires", are granted a mining license to mine for a term of no more than ten to thirty years, depending on the magnitude or size of the mining project. A mining license owner may extend the term of a mining license with an application 30 days prior to expiration of the term. The annual use fee for a mining license is RMB 1,000 per square kilometre per year.

A mining license owner has the rights, among others, to: (i) conduct mining activities during the term and within the mining area prescribed by the mining license, (ii) sell mineral products (except for mineral products that the State Council has identified for unified purchase by designated units), (iii) construct production and living facilities within the mine area, and (iv) use the land necessary for production and construction, in accordance with applicable laws.

A mining license owner is required to, among other things: (i) conduct mine construction or mining activities within a defined time period, (ii) conduct efficient production, rational mining and comprehensive use of the mineral resources, (iii) pay resources tax and mineral resources compensation (royalties) pursuant to applicable laws, (iv) comply with State laws and regulations regarding labour safety, water and soil conservation, land reclamation and environmental protection, (v) be subject to the supervision and management by the departments in charge of geology and mineral resources, and (vi) complete and present mineral reserves forms and mineral resource development and use statistics reports, in accordance with applicable law.

Transfer of Exploration and Mining Rights

A mining company may transfer its exploration or mining licenses to others, subject to the approval of MLR.

An exploration license may only be transferred if the transferor has: (i) held the exploration license for two years after the date that the license was issued, or discovered minerals in the exploration block, which are able to be explored or mined further, (ii) a valid and subsisting exploration license, (iii) completed the stipulated minimum exploration expenditures, (iv) paid the user fees and the price for exploration rights pursuant to the relevant regulations, and (v) obtained the necessary approval from the authorized department in charge of the minerals.

Mining rights may only be transferred if the transferor needs to change the ownership of such mining rights because it is: (i) engaging in a merger or split, (ii) entering into equity or cooperative joint ventures with others, (iii) selling its enterprise assets, or (iv) engaging in a similar transaction that will result in an alteration of the property ownership of the enterprise.

Additionally, when state-owned assets or state funds are involved in a transfer of exploration licenses and mining licenses, the related state-owned assets rules and regulations apply and a proper evaluation report must be completed and filed with the MLR.

Speculation in exploration and mining rights is prohibited. The penalties for speculation are that the rights of the speculator may be revoked, illegal income from speculation confiscated and a fine levied.

Environmental Laws

In the past ten years, Chinese laws and policies regarding environmental protection have moved towards stricter compliance standards and stronger enforcement. In accordance with the Environmental Protection Law of the PRC adopted by the Standing Committee of the PRC National People's Congress on 26 December 1989, the General Administration of Environmental Protection Bureau under the State Council sets national environmental protection standards. The various local environmental protection bureaus may set stricter local standards for environmental protection. CJVs are required to comply with the stricter of the two standards.

The basic laws in China governing environmental protection in the mineral industry sector of the economy are the Environmental Protection Law and the Mineral Resources Law. Applicants for mining licenses must submit environmental impact assessments, and those projects that fail to meet environmental protection standards will not be granted licenses. In addition, after the exploration, a licensee must take further actions for environmental protection, such as performing water and soil maintenance. After the mining licenses have expired or a licensee stops mining during the license period and the mineral resources have not been fully developed, the licensee shall perform other obligations such as water and soil maintenance, land recovery and environmental protection in compliance with the original development scheme, or must pay the costs of land recovery and environmental protection. After closing the mine, the mining enterprise must perform water and soil maintenance, land recovery and environmental protection in compliance with mine closure approval reports, or must pay certain costs, which include the costs of land recovery and environmental protection.

Land and Construction

The holder of an exploration license or mining license should apply for land use right with MLR to conduct exploration or mining activities on the land covered by the exploration license or mining license. The license holder should file an application to MLR for the land use right with its exploration license or mining license. If the application is approved by the competent government authority, the MLR would issue an approval to the land use right applicant. Then, the local MLR would enter into a land use right contract with the license holder. The license holder should pay relevant price and fees in accordance with the contract and then obtain a land use right certificate from MLR. In practice, instead of obtaining a long-term land use right, an exploration license holder may apply for a temporary land use right, which would normally be valid for 2 years and may be renewed upon application.

The company should also apply for other zoning and construction permits to conduct construction on the land. PRC laws require a company to obtain the land zoning permit and construction zoning permit with the local zoning authorities under the Ministry of Construction (MOCON). Then, the company is required to enter into a construction contract with a qualified constructor and file the construction contract to the local construction authorities under the MOCON and obtain a construction permit. After the construction is completed, the company should apply for the construction authorities and related environmental and fire departments for the check and acceptance of the construction. Upon the pass of check and acceptance, the company should apply with local housing authorities to register the constructed buildings in its own name and obtain a housing ownership certificate.

Environmental Law

We are responsible for providing a safe working environment, not disrupting archaeological sites, and conducting our activities to prevent unnecessary damage to the area in which our mineral claims are located. At this time, we do not believe that the cost of compliance at the federal, state and local levels will be significant.

We intend to secure all necessary permits required for exploration. We anticipate no discharge of water into active streams, creeks, rivers, lakes or other bodies of water regulated by environmental law or regulation.

- 21 -


We also anticipate that no endangered species will be disturbed. Restoration of the disturbed land will be completed according to law, and all holes, pits and shafts will be sealed upon abandonment of the mineral claims. It is difficult to estimate the cost of compliance with the environmental laws, because the full nature and extent of our proposed activities cannot be determined until we start our operations.

We believe we are in compliance with the environment laws, and that we will continue to be able to comply with such laws in the future.

Employees and Employment Agreements

We currently have three employees in Mexico.

In China we have one employee serving as administrative staff member in our Beijing representative office. We pay him $2,500 per month.

Other than the foregoing, our employees are Marc Hazout Director, and Colin Sutherland, our Chief Financial Officer, interim Chief Executive officer and Director. In addition, we have two consultants working in our head office in Toronto, an information technology and investor relations manager and a Corporate Controller, being paid collectively a total of $8,000 per month.

On November 15, 2005, we entered into an Employment Agreement with Marc Hazout. The Employment Agreement provides that Mr. Hazout shall be employed by us for a term of five years, and is entitled to a base salary of $288,000 per year. He received 1,000,000 restricted common shares as a signing bonus and in consideration of his facilitation of the transactions with Linear Gold Corp. Further, he is entitled to eight weeks paid holiday and fourteen (14) personal days, sick leave, medical and group insurance, participation in our pension or profit sharing plans, and a car allowance of up to $3,000 per month. In the event we terminate the Employment Agreement without cause, he will be entitled to severance equal to 100% of his remaining base salary under the Employment Agreement, plus an amount equal to 100% of the base salary plus full medical coverage for 12 months following the termination date. The Employment Agreement contains provisions prohibiting him from competing with us or soliciting customers or employees from us for a period of one year following the termination of his employment.  On March 31, 2008, the Company signed an Amended Employment agreement which states that Mr. Hazout will be paid $15,000 per month commencing on June 1, 2008.  The contract is for one year, and in the event of a successful financing up to $3,000,000, the contract is renewable for an additional two years.  

On August 15, 2007, we entered into an Employment Agreement with Colin Sutherland for the position of Chief Financial Officer. The Employment Agreement provides that Mr. Sutherland shall be employed by us for a term of three years, and is entitled to a base salary of CAD$6,000 per month. During his tenure as CEO, he will be paid $12,000 per month.  He received 500,000 restricted common shares as a signing bonus and has received options to purchase 500,000 common shares at a price of $0.945 per share for a period of three years. The position is part-time, as Mr. Sutherland is also president and director of Nayarit Gold Inc. In the event we terminate the Employment Agreement without cause, he will be entitled to notice of 4 weeks during the first year of the term, 8 weeks during the second year of the term or 12 weeks during the third year of the term, or the applicable severance pay in lieu of the above.

Intellectual Property

We have no patents, trademarks, licenses, franchises, concessions, royalty agreements or labor contracts that management believes have any value.

Risk Factors

You should consider each of the following risk factors and any other information set forth in this Form 10-QSB and the other Company's reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), including the Company's financial statements and related notes, in evaluating the Company's business and prospects. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones that impact on the Company's operations and business. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to the Company, or that the Company currently considers immaterial, may also impair its business or operations. If any of the following risks actually occur, the Company's business and financial condition, results or prospects could be harmed.

Risks Relating To Our Operations

None of the properties in which we have an interest or the right to earn an interest has any known reserves.

None of the properties in which we have an interest or the right to earn an interest has any reserves. To date, we have engaged in only limited preliminary exploration activities on the properties and accordingly, we do not have sufficient information upon which to assess the ultimate success of our exploration efforts. If we do not establish reserves, we may be required to curtail or suspend our operations, in which case the market value of our common stock may decline, and you may lose all or a portion of your investment.

The Company does not have sufficient funds to meet existing obligations.  We will need additional funding, either through equity or debt financings or partnering arrangements, that could negatively affect us and our stock price.

We will need significant additional funds to continue operations, which we may not be able to obtain. We estimate that we must raise approximately $6 million over the next 12 months to fund our anticipated capital requirements and our obligations under the agreements for the concessions in Cerro las Minitas, Mexico and the agreement with Sino-Top. Our agreement with Jaime Muguiro Pena required us to make a $100,000 payment on closing, with further payments totaling $350,000 made during 2006, along with 450,000 restricted common shares. Our agreement with Ramon Tomas Davila Flores required us to make a payment of closing at $245,000 along with 110,000 restricted common shares. Our agreement with Minera Real Victoria, S.A. de C.V. required us to make a $100,000 payment on closing along with 2,000,000 restricted common shares; further payments of $100,000 were paid on September 11, 2006 and March 14, 2007, $100,000 was due on March 14, 2008 and remains payable at May 20, 2008. We estimate that we will need to raise approximately $2,400,000 to meet our obligations under the Cerro las Minitas agreements, as well as to continue with the exploration and mining of the properties throughout 2008. Our agreement with Silvia Villasenor Haro, the owner of Puro Corazon, required us to make payments of $50,000 at closing. In addition, we will require an additional $2,000,000 should we choose to exercise the option to purchase the mining concession from Silvia Villasenor Haro within 3 years of the closing or $3,000,000 within 5 years of the closing. We currently do not have arrangements in place to raise the capital to fund these obligations. All payments in Mexico were and are subject to Value Added Tax (V.A.T.) for which we are entitled to be refunded as a non-Mexican entity.

We have invested approximately $6,131,052 into Sino-Top to date, and intend to invest approximately $6,600,000 into Sino-Top in 2008 towards exploration and property maintenance on the nine properties in the portfolio, with emphasis on bringing the Erbaohuo silver mine into production in 2008, and conducting a Canadian National Instrument 43-101 conversion program on the balance of the eight properties. We currently have a NI 43-101 report for the Erbaohuo property. We currently do not have arrangements in place to raise the capital to fund these obligations.

We have historically satisfied our working capital requirements through the private issuances of equity securities and from related parties. We will continue to seek additional funds through such channels and from collaboration and other arrangements with corporate partners. However, we may not be able to obtain adequate funds when needed or funding that is on terms acceptable to us. If we fail to obtain sufficient funds, we may need to delay, scale back or terminate some or all of our mining exploration programs.

We are an exploration stage company, and based on our negative cash flows from operating activities there is uncertainty as to our ability to continue as a going concern.

From inception, we have generated limited revenues and have experienced negative cash flows from operating losses. We anticipate continuing to incur such operating losses and negative cash flows for the foreseeable future, and to accumulate increasing deficits as we increase our expenditures for exploration and mining of minerals, infrastructure, research and development and general corporate purposes. Any increases in our operating expenses will require us to achieve significant revenue before we can attain profitability. Our history of operating losses and negative cash flows from operating activities will result in our continued dependence on external financing arrangements. In the event that we are unable to achieve or sustain profitability or are otherwise unable to secure additional external financing, we may not be able to meet our obligations as they come due, raising substantial doubts as to our ability to continue as a going concern. Any such inability to continue as a going concern may result in our security holders losing their entire investment. There is no guaranty that we will generate revenues or secure additional external financing. Our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with the United States GAAP, contemplate that we will continue as a going concern and do not contain any adjustments that might result if we were unable to continue as a going concern. Changes in our operating plans, our existing and anticipated working capital needs, the acceleration or modification of our expansion plans, lower than anticipated revenues, increased expenses, potential acquisitions or other events will all affect our ability to continue as a going concern. See "Management's Plan of Operations".

The reports of independent auditors of our consolidated financial statements included in the previously filed 10-KSB annual report contain explanatory paragraphs which note our recurring operating losses since inception, our lack of capital and lack of long term contracts related to our business plans, and that these conditions give rise to substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. In the event that we are unable to successfully achieve future profitable operations and obtain additional sources of financing to sustain our operations, we may be unable to continue as a going concern. See "Management's Plan of Operation" and our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this annual report.

We have a history of operating losses and we anticipate future losses.

Since we changed our business focus to silver exploration, we have generated no revenues. We incurred losses of approximately $10,498,500 and $1,273,191 respectively, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 and the three month period ending March 31, 2008. We have accumulated losses since inception of approximately $23,586,304. We anticipate that losses will continue until such time when revenue from operations is sufficient to offset our operating costs, if ever. If we are unable to increase our revenues or to increase them significantly enough to cover our costs, our financial condition will worsen and you could lose some or all of your investment.

Because our management does not have technical training or experience in exploring for, starting and operating an exploration program, we will have to hire personnel to conduct these efforts. If we can not effectively supervise or retain such personnel, we may have to suspend or cease operations, which will result in the loss of your investment.

Because our management is inexperienced with exploring for, starting and operating an exploration program, we hired new employees and contractors to perform surveying, exploration and excavation of mineral claims that we may acquire. Other than our Interim CEO and Chief Financial Officer, Colin Sutherland, our management has no direct training or experience in these areas and as a result may not be fully aware of many of the specific requirements related to working within the industry. Management must rely on the personnel it has hired or retained to assist them in making critical engineering and business decisions. Consequently, our operations, earnings and ultimate financial success could suffer irreparable harm due to management's lack of experience in this industry if our management is unable to supervise and retain qualified personnel to carry out these tasks. As a result we may have to suspend or cease operations, which will result in the loss of your investment.

- 24 -


Our success also depends on our ability to hire and retain skilled operating, marketing, technical, financial and management personnel. In the mining sector, competition in connection with hiring and retaining skilled, dependable personnel is intense. We may not offer salaries or benefits that are competitive with those offered by our competitors, who may have significantly more resources when compared to us. As such, even if we were to succeed in hiring skilled personnel, we may not succeed in retaining them.

Because we do not have much capital, we may have to limit our exploration activity, which may result in a loss of your investment.

Because we are small and do not have much capital, we must limit our exploration activity. As such, we may not be able to complete an exploration program that is as thorough as the one that we currently anticipate on conducting. In that event, an existing ore body may go undiscovered. Without an ore body, we cannot generate revenues, in which case, you will lose your investment.

Pursuant to Section 404 Of The Sarbanes-Oxley Act Of 2002 ("Section 404"), we will be required, beginning with our annual report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007, to include in our annual reports on Form 10-KSB, our management's report on internal control over financial reporting and for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008, the registered public accounting firm's attestation report on our management's assessment of our internal control over financial reporting.

We have not prepared an internal plan of action for compliance with the requirements of Section 404. As a result, we cannot guarantee that we will not have any "significant deficiencies" or "material weaknesses" reported by our independent registered public accounting firm. Compliance with the requirements of Section 404 is expected to be expensive and time-consuming. If we fail to complete this evaluation in a timely manner, or if our independent registered public accounting firm cannot timely attest to our evaluation, we could be subject to regulatory scrutiny and a loss of public confidence in our internal control over financial reporting. In addition, any failure to establish an effective system of disclosure controls and procedures could cause our current and potential shareholders and customers to lose confidence in our financial reporting and disclosure required under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, which could adversely affect our business.

Because our interests are in Mexico and China, our business is subject to additional risks associated with doing business outside the United States.

We expect that a portion of our revenues, if any, may be derived from sales of our products in foreign markets. Accordingly, we will be subject to all risks associated with foreign trade. These risks include:

shipping delays,

increased credit risks,

trade restrictions,

export duties and tariffs,

fluctuations in foreign currency, and

uncertainties in international, political, regulatory and economic developments.

- 25 -


In addition, we anticipate that our foreign operations will require us to devote significant resources to system installation, training and service, areas in which we have limited experience.

It is possible that third parties will challenge our title for the properties in which we have an interest.

We have not obtained title insurance for our properties. It is possible that the title to the properties in which we have our interest will be challenged or impugned. If such claims are successful, we may lose our interest in such properties.

Because all of our assets, our officers and our directors are located outside the United States of America, it may be difficult for an investor to enforce within the United States any judgments obtained against us, our officer or our director.

All of our assets are located outside of the United States, the individuals serving as officers and directors are nationals and/or residents of a country or countries other than the United States, and all or a substantial portion of their assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for an investor to effect service of process or enforce within the United States any judgments obtained against us or our officers and directors, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof. In addition, there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of Canada and other jurisdictions would recognize or enforce such judgments rendered by the courts of the United States. There is also uncertainty as to whether the courts of Canada or other jurisdictions would be competent to hear original actions brought in Canada or other jurisdictions against us or our officers and directors predicated upon the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof.

A Director controls a significant percentage of our common stock.

As of May 20, 2008, Marc Hazout, a Director, owned beneficially approximately 26% of our outstanding common stock. Mr. Hazout is able to influence all matters requiring stockholder approval, including election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. This concentration of ownership, which is not subject to any voting restrictions, could limit the price that investors might be willing to pay for our common stock. In addition, Mr. Hazout is in a position to impede transactions that may be desirable for other shareholders. He could, for example, make it more difficult for anyone to take control of us.

Risks Relating To the Industry In General

Planned exploration, and if warranted, development and mining activities involve a high degree of risk.

We cannot assure you of the success of our planned operations. Exploration costs are not fixed, and resources cannot be reliably identified until substantial development has taken place, which entails high exploration and development costs. The costs of mining, processing, development and exploitation activities are subject to numerous variables which could result in substantial cost overruns. Mining for silver and other base or precious metals may involve unprofitable efforts, not only from dry properties, but from properties that are productive but do not produce sufficient net revenues to return a profit after accounting for mining, operating and other costs.

- 26 -


Our mining operations may be curtailed, delayed or cancelled as a result of numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control, including economic conditions, mechanical problems, title problems, weather conditions, compliance with governmental requirements and shortages or delays of equipment and services. If our drilling activities are not successful, we will experience a material adverse effect on our future results of operations and financial condition.

In addition to the substantial risk that the mines that we drill will not be productive or may decline in productivity after commencement of production, there are hazards inherent in geothermal exploration and production. Such hazards include unusual or unexpected geologic formations, pressures, downhole fires, mechanical failures, blowouts, cratering, explosions, uncontrollable flows of well fluids, pollution and other physical and environmental risks. These hazards could result in substantial losses to us due to injury and loss of life, severe damage to and destruction of property and equipment, pollution and other environmental damage and suspension of operations. As protection against operating hazards, we maintain insurance coverage against some, but not all, of the potential losses. We do not fully insure against all risks associated with our business because insurance is either unavailable or its cost of coverage is prohibitive. The occurrence of an event that is not fully covered or covered at all by insurance could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. We do have directors and officers liability insurance.

The impact of governmental regulation could adversely affect our business.

Our business is subject to applicable domestic and foreign laws and regulations, including laws and regulations on taxation, the exploration for and development, production and distribution of electricity, and environmental and safety matters. Many laws and regulations require drilling permits and govern the spacing of mines, rates of production, prevention of waste and other matters. These laws and regulations may increase the costs and timing of planning, designing, drilling, installing, operating and abandoning our silver mines and other facilities. In addition, our operations are subject to complex environmental laws and regulations adopted by domestic and foreign jurisdictions where we operate. We could incur liability to governments or third parties for any unlawful discharge of pollutants into the air, soil or water, including responsibility for remedial costs.

In addition, the submission and approval of environmental impact assessments may be required. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner which means stricter standards; enforcement, fines and penalties for noncompliance are more stringent. Environmental assessments of proposed projects carry a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and directors, officers and employees. The cost of compliance with changes in governmental regulations has a potential to reduce the profitability of operations.

Because the requirements imposed by these laws and regulations frequently change, we cannot assure you that laws and regulations enacted in the future, including changes to existing laws and regulations, will not adversely affect our business. In addition, because we acquire interests in properties that have been operated in the past by others, we may be liable for environmental damage caused by former operators. In Mexico, changes in government leadership and/or the unionization of workers could adversely affect our operations. In China, political instability and unexpected state intervention could adversely affect our assets.

Decline in sliver prices may make it commercially infeasible for us to develop our property and may cause our stock price to decline.

The value and price of our common shares and warrants, our financial results, and our exploration, development and mining activities may be significantly adversely affected by declines in the price of silver and other precious metals. Silver prices fluctuate widely and are affected by numerous factors beyond our control such as interest rates, exchange rates, inflation or deflation, fluctuation in the value of the United States dollar and foreign currencies, global and regional supply and demand, and the political and economic conditions of silver-producing countries throughout the world. The price of silver fluctuates in response to many factors, which are beyond anyone's prediction abilities. The prices used in making the estimates in our plans differ from daily prices quoted in the news media. The percentage change in the price of a metal cannot be directly related to the estimated mineralized material quantities, which are affected by a number of additional factors. Because mining occurs over a number of years, it may be prudent to continue mining for some periods during which cash flows are temporarily negative for a variety of reasons. Such reasons include a belief that the low price is temporary, and/or the expense incurred is greater when permanently closing a mine.

- 27 -


Declines in the price of silver may cause our stock price to decline, which could cause you to lose money while making it difficult for us to raise capital for our ongoing operations.

Weather interruptions in China may affect and delay our proposed exploration operations.

Our proposed exploration work in China can only be performed approximately six to seven months out of the year. The cold, rain and snow make the roads leading to our claims impassible every year during certain times from November to March. When the roads are impassible, we are unable to conduct exploration operations on the mineral claim.

We may not have access to all of the supplies and materials we need to begin exploration, which could cause us to delay or suspend operations.

Competition and unforeseen limited sources of supplies in the industry could result in occasional spot shortages of supplies such as dynamite as well as certain equipment like bulldozers and excavators that we might need to conduct exploration. If we cannot obtain the necessary supplies, we will have to suspend our exploration plans until we do obtain such supplies.

Risks Relating To The Market For Our Securities

Because the public market for shares of our common stock is limited, investors may be unable to resell their shares of common stock.

Currently there is only a limited public market for our common stock on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board in the United States. Thus investors may be unable to resell their shares of our common stock. The development of an active public trading market depends upon the existence of willing buyers and sellers who are able to sell their shares as well as market makers willing to create a market in such shares. Under these circumstances, the market bid and ask prices for the shares may be significantly influenced by the decisions of the market makers to buy or sell the shares for their own account. Such decisions of the market makers may be critical for the establishment and maintenance of a liquid public market in our common stock. Market makers are not required to maintain a continuous two-sided market and are free to withdraw firm quotations at any time. We cannot give you any assurance that an active public trading market for the shares will develop or be sustained.

A significant number of shares of our common stock are eligible for sale in the United States, which could have an adverse effect on the market price for our common stock and could adversely affect our ability to raise needed capital.

As of May 20, 2008, the number of shares in the public float on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board in the U.S. is approximately 72,099,321. The market price for our common stock could decrease significantly and our ability to raise capital could be adversely affected by the availability of a large number of shares.

- 28 -


The price of our common stock is volatile, which may cause investment losses for our shareholders.

The market for our common stock is highly volatile, having ranged in the last twelve months from a low of $0.14 to a high of $2.00 on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board. The trading price of our common stock on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board is subject to wide fluctuations in response to, among other things, quarterly variations in operating and financial results, and general economic and market conditions. In addition, statements or changes in opinions, ratings, or earnings estimates made by brokerage firms or industry analysts relating to our market or relating to us could result in an immediate and adverse effect on the market price of our common stock. The highly volatile nature of our stock price may cause investment losses for our shareholders. In the past, securities class action litigation has often been brought against companies following periods of volatility in the market price of their securities. If securities class action litigation is brought against us, such litigation could result in substantial costs while diverting management's attention and resources.

Our common stock is considered to be a "penny stock," which may make it more difficult for investors to sell their shares.

Our common stock is considered to be a "penny stock." The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in "penny stocks." Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on some national securities exchanges or quoted on NASDAQ, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in these securities is provided by the exchange or system). Prior to a transaction in a penny stock, a broker-dealer is required to:

These requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for our stock, and investors may find it more difficult to sell their shares.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2008

Net sales were $NIL for both the quarters ended March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007 as there was no production at any of the mining properties.

Total operating expenses for the Company were $1,273,191 (March 31, 2007: $2,543,636). There were decreases in exploration expenditures and decreases in General and Administrative expenses due to the Company's need to obtain financing. The overall expenditures decreased compared to 2007 as a result of insufficient funding, consequently impairing the Company's ability to spend funding on Advertising and Promotion similar to those levels in 2007.

Net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 was $1,273,191, compared to a net loss of $2,538,685 for the similar period in 2007. The principal reason for this is the impact of the factors discussed above.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company will need additional capital in order to finance its obligations to Sanhe Sino-Top Resources and Technologies Ltd., and the acquired properties in Cerro Las Minitas, Mexico, as well as to continue its attempt to acquire viable businesses and properties and to finance the administrative costs including but not limited to legal and accounting fees. The Company's management is seeking additional capital however, there is no assurance that this needed capital can be raised for our ongoing operations.

GOING CONCERN

As of March 31, 2008 the Company had an accumulated deficit of $23,586,304. The financial statements therefore have been prepared on a going concern basis as explained in Note 2 to the Financial Statements.

ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company is taking actions to prevent the recurrence of significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the future, including hiring a Chief Financial Officer in August, 2007 and a Corporate Controller in to oversee the financial operations of the Company. In addition, three new additional members have been appointed to the Board of Directors. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Interim Chief Executive Office and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act) as of March 31, 2008 (the "Evaluation Date"). Based upon that evaluation, the Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to us required to be included in our periodic SEC filings.

Except as discussed above, there has been no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the Company's fiscal quarter covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
