(An Exploration Stage Company) have been prepared by management in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles. The financial information contained elsewhere in this report has been reviewed to ensure consistency with the financial statements. Management maintains systems of internal control designed to provide reasonable assurance that the assets are safeguarded, all transactions are authorized and duly recorded, and financial records are properly maintained to facilitate the preparation of financial statements in a timely manner. The Board of Directors is responsible for ensuring that management fulfills its responsibilities for financial reporting and is ultimately responsible for reviewing and approving the financial statements. The Board carries out this responsibility principally through its Audit Committee. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has reviewed the financial statements with management and the external auditors, Dale Matheson Carr-Hilton Labonte LLP, an independent firm of chartered accountants, appointed as external auditors by the shareholders, have audited the consolidated financial statements and their report is included herein. ”Gregg Roberts” “Brian Gusko” _________________________________ ______________________________ Gregg Roberts, Director Brian Gusko, Chief Financial Officer Vancouver, Canada October 28, 2008 2 AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF UC RESOURCES LTD. (An Exploration Stage Company) We have audited the consolidated balance sheet of UC Resources Ltd. (An Exploration Stage Company) as at June 30, 2008 and the consolidated statements of operations and deficit and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at June 30, 2008 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles. The audited financial statements at June 30, 2007 and for the year then ended were examined by other auditors who expressed an opinion without reservation on those statements in their report dated November 2, 2007. “DMCL” DALE MATHESON CARR-HILTON LABONTE LLP Chartered Accountants Vancouver, Canada October 24, 2008 See notes to consolidated financial statements. 3 UC RESOURCES LTD.

(An Exploration Stage Company) Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Canadian Dollars) Years Ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 6 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND CONTINUANCE UC Resources Ltd. (the “Company”) is an exploration stage company engaged principally in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties in Canada and Mexico. At June 30, 2008, the Company had working capital of $2,470,015 (2007 - $1,542,694) and an accumulated deficit of $15,259,651 (2007 - $13,162,158). The Company will require additional financing or outside participation to undertake further exploration and subsequent development of its mineral property interests. The Company’s ability to continue as a going-concern is dependent on the ability of the Company to raise equity financing in the future to fund further exploration work and to fund continuing operating losses, and ultimately on the attainment of profitable operations to meet the Company’s liabilities as they become payable. The recovery of the Company's investment in mineral property interests is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain financing to complete development and the future proceeds from the disposition of those reserves. These financial statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis, which assumes the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. These financial statements do not include any adjustments for the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going-concern. 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting policies generally accepted in Canada and reflect the following policies. (a) Principles of consolidation These financial statements include the accounts of UC Resources Ltd. and its wholly-owned integrated subsidiaries, Minera Planet Exploration, S.A. de C.V. (“Minera Planet”) and Minera Silver Creeck S.A. de C.V. (“Silver Creeck”), companies incorporated under the laws of Mexico, hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Company”. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated. (b) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and highly liquid short-term interest bearing securities with terms at the date of purchase for three months or less. (c) Short-term investments Short-term investments are temporary investments with original maturities of greater than three months and less than one year at the time the investment is made. Short-term investments are valued at the lower of cost and market value. UC RESOURCES LTD.

(d) Mineral property interests The Company capitalizes all costs related to investments in mineral property interests on a property-by-property basis. Such costs include mineral property acquisition costs and exploration and development expenditures, net of any recoveries. Costs are deferred until such time as the extent of mineralization has been determined and mineral property interests are either developed or the Company's mineral rights are allowed to lapse. All deferred mineral property expenditures are reviewed annually or when there are significant changes in events or circumstances, on a property-by-property basis, to consider whether there are any conditions that may indicate impairment. When the carrying value of a property exceeds its net recoverable amount that may be estimated by quantifiable evidence of an economic geological resource or reserve, joint venture expenditure commitments or the Company’s assessment of its ability to sell the property for an amount exceeding the deferred costs, provision is made for the impairment in value. The amounts shown for acquisition costs and deferred exploration expenditures represent costs incurred to date and do not necessarily reflect present or future values. These costs are depleted over the useful lives of the properties upon commencement of commercial production or written off if the properties are abandoned or the claims allowed to lapse. From time to time the Company may acquire or dispose of a mineral property interest pursuant to the terms of an option agreement. As the options are exercisable entirely at the discretion of the optionee, the amounts payable or receivable are not recorded. Option payments are recorded as property costs or recoveries when the payments are made or received. (e) Plant and equipment Plant and equipment are recorded at cost and are amortized using the declining-balance method at an annual rate of 20% for office equipment, 30% for computer equipment, 20% for machinery and equipment, and 30% for transportation equipment. The La Yesca mill, bought in 2006, has not been put in use to date. Upon commencement of commercial mining operations the mill will be amortized over its estimated useful life. (f) Loss per share Loss per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. The Company uses the treasury stock method for calculating diluted loss per share. Diluted loss per share has not been presented as the outstanding options and warrants are anti-dilutive for each of the years presented.

(g) Foreign currency translation These consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars whereby monetary items are translated at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. All nonmonetary items are translated at historical exchange rates. Income and expense items are translated at the exchange rates approximating those in effect at the time of the transactions. Translation gains and losses are included in the results of operations for the period. The Company’s subsidiaries are integrated foreign operations and are translated into Canadian dollar equivalents using the temporal method. Monetary items are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date; non-monetary items are translated at historical exchange rates. Income and expense items are translated at the exchange rates approximating those in effect at the time of the transactions. Translation gains and losses are included in the results of operations for the period. (h) Asset retirement obligations The Company recognizes an estimate of the liability associated with an asset retirement obligation (“ARO”) in the financial statements at the time the liability is incurred. The estimated fair value of the ARO is recorded as a long-term liability, with a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the related asset. The capitalized amount is depleted on a straight-line basis over the estimated life of the asset. The liability amount is increased each reporting period due to the passage of time and the amount of accretion is charged to earnings in the period. The ARO can also increase or decrease due to changes in the estimates of timing of cash flows or changes in the original estimated undiscounted cost. Actual costs incurred upon settlement of the ARO are charged against the ARO to the extent of the liability recorded. As at June 30, 2008, the Company has determined that it has no material AROs to record in the consolidated financial statements. (i) Flow-through shares The resource expenditure deductions for income tax purposes related to exploration activities funded by flow-through share arrangements are renounced to investors in accordance with Canadian tax legislation. Under the recommendations of the Emerging Issues Committee (EIC 146), future income tax liabilities resulting from the renunciation of qualified mineral expenditures by the Company is recorded as a reduction in share capital. Any corresponding realization of future income tax benefits resulting from the utilization of prior year losses available to the Company not previously recorded, as the Company did not meet the criteria for recognition, will be reflected as part of the Company’s operating results as a recovery of future income taxes in the same period of filing the renunciations with the Canada Revenue Agency. (j) Stock-based compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation expense using the fair value based method with respect to all stock-based payments to directors, employees and non-employees, including awards that are direct awards of stock and call for settlement in cash or other assets, or stock appreciation rights that call for settlement by the issuance of equity instruments. Under this method, stock-based payments are recorded as an expense over the vesting period or when the awards or rights are granted, with a corresponding increase to contributed surplus. When stock options are exercised, the corresponding fair value is transferred from contributed surplus to capital stock.

(Continued)
(k) Income taxes The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method of tax allocation, future income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial statement carrying values and their respective income tax basis (temporary differences). Future income tax assets and liabilities are measured using the tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences are likely to reverse. The effect on future income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is included in operations in the period in which the change is enacted or substantially assured. The amount of future income tax assets recognized is limited to the amount of the benefit that is more likely than not to be realized. (l) Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates include the determination of environmental obligations, the determination of the valuation allowance for future income tax assets, the assumptions used in the determination of stock-based compensation, impairment of mineral claims and deferred exploration expenditures, and rate for amortization. While management believes the estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from those estimates and would impact future results of operations and cash flows. (m) Impairment of Long-lived Assets The Company conducts its impairment test on long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Impairment is recognized when the carrying value amount of an asset to be held and used exceeds the undiscounted future net cash flows expected from its use and disposal. If there is impairment, the impairment amount is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the undiscounted future cash flows. (n) Risk management The Company is engaged in mineral exploration and development and is accordingly exposed to environmental risks and fluctuations in commodity pricing associated with mineral exploration activity. The Company is currently in the initial exploration stages on its property interests and has not determined whether significant site reclamation costs will be required. The Company would only record liabilities for site reclamation when reasonably determinable and when such costs can be reliably quantified. The Company’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar. The Company translates the results of its foreign operations, carried out in US currency, into Canadian currency using rates approximating the average exchange rate on a monthly basis. The exchange rate may vary from time to time exposing it to foreign currency risks. The Company has not entered into foreign exchange derivative contracts. The Company is not exposed to significant credit concentration and interest rate risks.

(Continued)
(o) Environmental The Company is subject to the laws and regulations relating to environmental matters in all jurisdictions in which it operates, including provisions relating to property reclamation, discharge of hazardous material and other matters. The Company may also be held liable should environmental problems be discovered that were caused by former owners and operators of its properties and properties in which it has previously had an interest. The Company conducts its mineral exploration activities in compliance with applicable environmental protection legislation. The Company is not aware of any existing environmental problems related to any of its current or former properties that may result in material liability to the Company. Environmental legislation is becoming increasingly stringent and costs and expenses of regulatory compliance are increasing. The impact of new and future environmental legislation on the Company’s operations may cause additional expenses and restrictions. If the restrictions adversely affect the scope of exploration and development on the mineral properties, the potential for production on the property may be diminished or negated. (p) Political and other risks The Company’s mineral properties located in Mexico expose the Company to different considerations and other risks not typically associated with companies in Canada. Such risks are associated with the political, economic and legal environments. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in Mexico and by changes in government policies with respect to laws and regulations. The Company has not yet generated significant revenues and as a result is not exposed to significant credit concentration risk. The Company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk. The Company’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar. There is currently no significant foreign exchange risk to the Company. (q) Financial instruments
Fair value Unless otherwise stated, the carrying values of the Company’s financial instruments at June 30, 2008 and 2007 approximate their fair values due to the relatively short-term periods to maturity of these instruments. The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and advances, advance to contractor, and accounts payable and short term investments. Derivatives – mineral properties The Company retains and/or has obligations related to certain carried interest rights and net smelter royalties, the value of which is derived from future events and commodity prices. These rights are derivative instruments. However, the mineral interests to which they relate are not sufficiently developed to reasonably determine value. UC RESOURCES LTD.

(r) Comparative figures Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. Such reclassification is for presentation purposes only and has no effect on previously reported results.
3. ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING POLICIES Current Changes in Accounting Policies Effective July 1, 2007, the Company adopted the following new accounting standards issued by the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (“CICA”): Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement Effective July 1, 2007 the Company adopted the new accounting standards issued by the CICA relating to financial instruments. As required by the transitional provisions of these standards, these standards have been adopted on a prospective basis without restatement of prior period financial statements. This standard requires all financial instruments within its scope, including derivatives, to be included on a Company’s balance sheet and measured either at fair value or, in certain circumstances when fair value may not be considered most relevant, at cost or amortized cost. Unrealized changes in fair value are to be recognized in the statements of loss or comprehensive loss. All financial assets and liabilities are recognized when the entity becomes a party to the contract creating the item. As such, the Company’s outstanding financial assets and liabilities at the effective date of adoption are recognized and measured in accordance with the new requirements as if these requirements had always been in effect. Changes to the fair values of certain assets and liabilities as at July 1, 2007, are recognized by adjusting opening deficit or opening accumulated other comprehensive loss. All financial instruments are classified into one of the following five categories: held for trading, heldto- maturity, loans and receivables, available-for-sale financial assets or other financial liabilities. Initial and subsequent measurement and recognition of changes in the value of financial instruments depends on their initial classification. Held-to-maturity investments, loans and receivables are initially measured at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost. Amortization of premiums or discounts and losses due to impairment are included in current period net earnings. Net Smelter Royalties (“NSR”) are a form of derivative financial instrument. The fair value of the Company’s right to purchase the NSR (refer to Note 6) is not determinable at the current stage of the Company’s exploration program. No value has been assigned by management. The Company does not engage in any other forms of hedging activity. Available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value. Revaluation gains and losses are included in other comprehensive income until the asset is removed from the balance sheet. Held for trading financial instruments are measured at fair value. All gains and losses are included in net earnings in the period in which they arise. UC RESOURCES LTD. (An Exploration Stage Company) Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Canadian Dollars) Years Ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 12 3. ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued): Current Changes in Accounting Policies (continued) All derivative financial instruments are classified as held for trading financial instruments and are measured at fair value, even when they are part of a hedging relationship. All gains and losses are included in net earnings in the period in which they arise, except for derivative instruments which represent a cash flow hedge, where the gain or loss is recognized in other comprehensive income. Accounting Changes Effective July 1, 2007, the Company implemented the new CICA accounting section 1506 (Accounting Changes). Under these new recommendations, voluntary changes in accounting policy are permitted only when they result in the financial statements providing reliable and more relevant information. This section requires changes in accounting policy to be applied retrospectively unless doing so is impracticable, requires prior period errors to be corrected retrospectively and requires enhanced disclosures about the effects of changes in accounting policies, estimates and errors on the financial statements. These recommendations also require the disclosure of new primary sources of generally accepted accounting principles that have been issued but not yet effective. The impact that the adoption of this section will have on the Company’s financial statements will depend on the nature of future accounting changes and the required additional disclosure on Recent Accounting Pronouncements. Comprehensive Income The Company adopted CICA Section 1530, Comprehensive Income effective July 1, 2007. This section establishes for reporting and presenting comprehensive income or loss, which is defined as the change in equity from transactions and other events from sources other than income or loss, which is defined as the change in equity from transactions and other events from sources other than the Company’s shareholders. Other comprehensive income or loss refers to items recognized in comprehensive principles such as unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale investments. Amounts initially recorded to other comprehensive income or loss is reclassified to earnings when the financial instrument is derecognized or impaired. For the year ended June 30, 2008, the Company did not have any items that affected other comprehensive income or loss, therefore, the comprehensive loss for the year is equal to the net loss for the year. Future Changes in Accounting Policies Capital Disclosures – Section 1535 This standard requires disclosure of an entity’s objectives, policies and processes for managing capital, quantitative data about what the entity regards as capital and whether the entity has complied with any capital requirements and, if it has not complied, the consequences of such noncompliance. This standard is effective for the Company for interim and annual periods relating to fiscal years beginning on or after July 1, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of adopting this standard. Going Concern – Amendments to Section 1400 General Standards of Financial Statement Presentation, CICA 1400, was amended to include requirements to assess and disclose an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The new requirements are effective for interim and annual periods relating to fiscal years beginning on or after July 1, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of adopting this standard. UC RESOURCES LTD. (An Exploration Stage Company) Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Canadian Dollars) Years Ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 13 3. ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued): Financial Instruments – Disclosure (Section 3862) and Presentation (Section 3863) These standards will replace CICA 3861, Financial Instruments – Disclosure and Presentation. They increase the disclosures currently required, which will enable users to evaluate the significance of financial instruments for an entity’s position and performance, including disclosures about fair value. In addition, disclosure is required of qualitative and quantitative information about exposure to risks arising from financial instruments, including specified minimum disclosures about credit risk, liquidity risk, currency risk, interest rate risk and market risk. The quantitative disclosures must provide information about the extent to which the entity is exposed to risk, based on information provided internally to the entity’s key management personnel. This standard is effective for the Company for interim and annual periods relating to fiscal years beginning on or after July 1, 2008. The Company expects that its disclosures will be expanded to incorporate the additional requirements. 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 2011 is the changeover date for publicly-listed companies to use IFRS, replacing Canada’s own GAAP. The date 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 June 30, 2010. While the Company has begun assessing the adoption of IFRS for 2011, the financial reporting impact of the transition to IFRS cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. 4. SHORT TERM INVESTMENTS Short-term investments consist of money market investments that are designated "held-for-trading" and are measured at fair value. The cost of the short-term investments approximates their fair value of $282,550 at June 30, 2008 (2007 - $1,003,550). 5. ADVANCE TO CONTRACTOR Money is advanced to a contractor that the Company has contracted to operate the projects in both Canada and Mexico. The operating costs are recorded as deferred exploration costs when incurred. UC RESOURCES LTD.

The Company acquired 100% of the shares of Minera Planet by paying the optionors US $50,000 on July 8, 2005 and US $500,000 on October 8, 2005. As part of an option agreement for the concession, the Company is responsible for the payments due by Minera Planet to the underlying concession title holders and are recorded when paid are as follows on or before:
•
July 13, 2005, the amount of US $50,000, plus value added tax (paid);
•
July 13, 2006, the amount of US $50,000, plus value added tax (paid);
•
January 13, 2007, the amount of US $50,000, plus value added tax (paid);
•
July 13, 2007, the amount of US $50,000, plus value added tax (paid);
•
January 13, 2008, the amount of US $75,000, plus value added tax (paid); and
•
July 13, 2008, the amount of US $75,000, plus value added tax tax (paid subsequent to
June 30, 2008). The property is subject to the following encumbrances to the title holders:
•
A payment of US $1 plus value added tax per ounce of measured recoverable gold and
silver equivalent or other mineral based on a feasibility study;
•
A 2.5% net smelter returns royalty of which 1.5% may be purchased for US $1,000,000;
and
•
Advance royalty of US $6,000 every three months subsequent to the assignment of the
concessions. The Company first became involved in Copalquin in February 2004 by signing an option agreement with Minera Planet to acquire a 50% interest on its Copalquin project, which allowed the Company to earn a 50% interest in Minera Planet’s 100% option on 7,005 hectares of historic gold and silver property. The Company followed up this agreement in June 2005 by signing an option to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Minera Planet. The sole asset of Minera Planet at the time was an exploration contract which grants Minera Planet the exclusive rights to purchase a 100% interest in the Copalquin property. At the time of the acquisition of all the outstanding shares of Minera Planet from Planet Exploration, the Company effectively had an exclusive right to acquire a 100% interest in Copalquin and the agreement in June 2005 took precedent over all previous agreements. This option agreement, first announced on June 23, 2005, was finalized in October 2005. A 2.5% royalty exists and the Company will have the option to purchase up to an equivalent of 1.5% of this royalty at a purchase price of $1,000,000 USD. The Company also expanded its land package by staking additional territory, beginning in October 2005 by staking 12,264 hectares. In May of 2006, the Company staked an additional 44,830 hectares. In January 2007, two new concession applications (located to the southwest and southeast of the Company’s existing concessions at Copalquin) covering multiple historic mining areas were submitted, increasing the total land position for the Company from 64,000 hectares to 152,000 hectares.

The actual income tax provision differs from the expected amounts calculated by applying the combined statutory federal and provincial corporate income tax rate to the Company’s loss before income taxes. The components of these differences are as follows.
2008 2007 Loss before income taxes $ (3,162,614) $ (3,629,492) Combined statutory income tax rate 29.96% 31.18% Expected tax expense (recovery) (947,528) (1,131,510) Increase (decrease) resulting from: Decrease in Canadian statutory income tax rate 54,755 202,573 Difference in foreign tax rates (9,239) (4,676) Unrecognized items for tax purposes 353,918 714,919 Expiry of non-capital losses carried forward 76,412 219,881 Share issue costs incurred (98,213) (66,359) Change in future tax asset valuation allowance (499,694) 120,763 Tax losses acquired - (65,126) Other 4,468 9,535 Future income tax provision (recovery) $ (1,065,121) $ - The Company renounced flow-through expenditures of $3,247,320 on December 31, 2007 and recorded a recovery of future income taxes of $1,065,121 to record the utilization of current year and previously unrecognized future tax assets to offset the future income tax liability resulting from the tax benefits renounced. Part XII.6 tax $2,139,298 of the flow-through amounts renounced on December 31, 2007 were done under the look back provision whereby the Company is required to incur the amounts by December 31, 2008 and is subject to Part XII.6 tax to the extent flow through expenditures are incurred after February 28, 2008. The Company incurred flow-through expenditures of $847,017 in the period from January 1, 2008 to June 30, 2008 and thus is required at June 30, 2008 to incur additional flow-through expenditures of $1,292,281 by December 31, 2008. The Company accrued $50,000 in Part XII.6 tax related flow through expenditures incurred from March 1 to June 30, 2008. The Company will incur additional Part XII.6 tax related to flow through expenditures incurred from July 1 to December 31, 2008. The balance of the flow-through expenditures must be incurred by December 31, 2008 to avoid additional penalties and reversal of the renunciation of any unspent look back amounts renounced under the look back provision.

13. RESTATEMENT OF PRIOR YEAR In preparing the current year’s financial statements, it was noted that the prior years property plant and equipment and the related payable to a concession titleholder were overstated by $185,326. Accordingly, the comparative financial statements for 2007 have been restated to correct for this accounting error. An adjustment has been made to the 2007 balance sheet decreasing both the carrying value of the La Yesca Mill and accounts payable. The restatement for 2007 had no impact on the 2007 Consolidated Statement of Operations or on the total Shareholders’ Equity of the Company. UC RESOURCES LTD.

CONTINGENCY The Company and Minera Planet has had a legal claim filed against it by Miguel Angel Matas Martinez and Compañia Minera Copalquin, S.A. de C.V., concessionaires of the Copalquin Project, alleging that they have not been able to reach a deal with another company to which they asked for US$20 per ounce of gold or its equivalent in other metals that they considered as found in the Copalquin Project. The Company has had an exhaustive resources calculation completed by a qualified Mexican Engineer regarding the resource at the Copalquin Project to determine the purchase price of this project and as a result a cheque for US$33,154 based on such calculation, will be deposited with the Mexican court in payment of the balance of the purchase price of the Copalquin Project. This is because Mr. Matas and Compañía Minera Copalquin, S.A. de C.V. would not accept payment from the Company. It is management's position that Minera Planet has met all of the payments required under the contract agreement. The Company considers Mr. Matas’s action as frivolous and unsubstantiated. The Company and Minera Planet are vigorously attending to this action and will continue to do so. A defense will be filed stating no further amounts are owing, except for the payment of a NSR royalty. The Company has filed a response to a previous suit. The outcome of this legal action and the loss, if any, is currently not determinable and no amounts have been accrued in the financial statements at year end relating to this contingency. 15. SUBSEQUENT EVENT The Company received a US$350,000 loan facility from the Mexican Mining Development Trust - Fideicomiso de Fomento Minero (FIFOMI), which is a Mexican government agency. Funds from this loan will be used for the completion of the Company’s production facility at La Yesca and working capital.
