NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Nature of Operations

Argentex Mining Corporation (“Argentex” or the “Company”) was originally incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 21, 2001 under the name Delbrook Corporation. On March 15, 2004, the Company changed its name to Argentex Mining Corporation. The Company effected this name change by merging with its wholly owned subsidiary, Argentex Mining Corporation, a Nevada corporation that was formed specifically for this purpose. On November 5, 2007, the Company moved its jurisdiction of domicile from the State of Nevada (Argentex Nevada) to the State of Delaware. This re-domicile was effected by merging with the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Argentex Mining Corporation, a Delaware corporation that was formed specifically for this purpose. The Company’s Delaware subsidiary was the surviving entity in the merger. On June 3, 2011, the Company moved its jurisdiction of domicile back to the State of Nevada. This re-domicile was effected by merging with the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Argentex Mining Corporation, a Nevada corporation that was formed specifically for this purpose. The Company’s Nevada subsidiary was the surviving entity in the merger. On June 8, 2011, the Company moved its jurisdiction of domicile from the State of Nevada to the Province of British Columbia, Canada. This re-domicile was effected by a process known as a ‘conversion’ in the State of Nevada and a ‘continuation’ in the Province of British Columbia.

The Company has one wholly-owned subsidiary, SCRN Properties Ltd. SCRN Properties Ltd was originally formed as a Delaware corporation on February 13, 2004, but on June 3, 2011, it moved its jurisdiction of domicile from the State of Delaware to the Province of British Columbia, Canada. SCRN Properties Ltd. was formed for the purpose of acquiring and exploring natural resource properties in Argentina.

Exploration Stage

The Company is primarily involved in acquiring and exploring mineral properties in Argentina. The Company is in the exploration stage of its mineral property development and to date has not yet established any proven mineral reserves on its existing properties. The Company has not produced any significant revenues from its principal business or commenced significant operations and it is considered an exploration stage company as defined by Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Guide 7 with reference to Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) topic 915.

Basis of Presentation and Preparation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements are stated in U.S. dollars and include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Certain prior period amounts in the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on our results of operations or financial position for any period presented.

The prior year’s accrued liabilities, as originally disclosed on the balance sheet, have been combined and the details are disclosed in Note 6.

These consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2011, included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On February 1, 2011, the FASB issued changes to disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. Specifically, the changes require a reporting entity to disclose, in the reconciliation of fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), separate information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements (that is, on a gross basis rather than as one net number).

Fair value is the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is estimated by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 – Inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-term investments

The following tables summarize the Company’s available-for-sale securities’ adjusted cost, gross unrealized gains, gross unrealized losses and fair value by significant investment category recorded as cash and cash equivalents or short-term marketable investments as of April 30, 2011 and January 31, 2011:

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going-concern, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not generated any revenues from mineral sales since inception, has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends or generate significant earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support of its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain financing and the attainment of profitable operations, or the sale, option or joint venture of one or more of the Company’s resource properties. The Company’s ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flows is dependent upon its ability to locate profitable mineral properties, generate revenues from mineral production and control production costs. Based upon its current plans, the Company expects to incur operating losses in future periods. The Company plans to obtain sufficient working capital through additional equity or debt financing. At at April 30, 2011, the Company had accumulated losses of $25,648,674 since inception (December 21, 2001).

These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to generate significant revenues in the future or be successful with any financing ventures. These consolidated financial statements do not give any effect to any adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Our Business

We are a junior exploration stage company that has not yet generated or realized any revenues from business operations. We currently hold interests in mineral properties located in the Rio Negro and Santa Cruz provinces of Argentina and in the Province of British Columbia, Canada. All of the surface rights and the mineral exploration licenses with respect to the Argentine claims are registered in the name of our subsidiary, SCRN Properties Ltd., while all of the mineral tenures with respect to our British Columbia claims are registered in the name of our company. One of the properties located in the Santa Cruz province of Argentina consists of surface rights and a group of claims that we refer to as the Pinguino property and we have concentrated the majority of our exploration efforts on this property. During the remainder of the year, we intend to continue to focus our efforts primarily on our Pinguino property and two of our other properties that are also located in the Santa Cruz province of Argentina – the Contreras property and the Condor property.

We have completed approximately 19,000 meters of drilling to-date in our 2011 exploration program at Pinguino with a total of 203 holes. We initially intended to drill approximately 17,000 meters of drilling at Pinguino, but positive results to date coupled with the receipt of additional funds from the exercise of approximately $1.7 million worth of share purchase warrants since January, 2011 encouraged us to expand this drill program. On May 25, 2011, we announced that we were expanding this drill program to include up to an additional 2,500 meters of drilling.

The focus of our current drilling campaign was to test 2010 reconnaissance discoveries and expand these zones along strike and at depth with the overall goal of improving our understanding of the near surface silver resource at Pinguino. On March 28, 2011 we announced the first drilling results from our 2011 exploration program at Pinguino, which were focused on Marta Noroeste. On April 12, 2011 we announced drilling results from the second targets tested, namely Marta Este and Marta Sur. On May 5, 2011 we announced drilling results from Marta Centro and Marta Norte. On May 25, 2011, we announced drilling results from Marta Este, Marta Sir and Marta Centro. On June 2, 2011, we announced drilling results from Marta Este and Tranquilo. The first drilling results returned the highest silver grades ever returned on Marta Noroeste with an intersection of 4 meters of 965 g/t Ag and 3.23 g/t Au. The second set of drilling results included 12.0 Meters Grading 512.5 g/t Ag and 1.12 g/t Au at Marta Este. The third set of drilling results included 8.0 meters grading 470.0 g/t Ag and 1.64 g/t Au within Marta Centro. The fourth set of drilling results included 5.76 Meters Grading 675.7 g/t Ag and 5.99 g/t Au and 61.79 Meters Grading 88.8 g/t Ag and 0.94 g/t Au at Marta Este. The fifth set of drilling results included 13.0 Meters Grading 525.1 g/t Ag at Tranquilo.

We are continuing with targeted exploration in the form of geophysics, soil geochemistry, trenching and drilling on the Pinguino property in an effort to continue to test the limits of known mineralization and to identify new drill targets.

Our British Columbia claims were acquired on June 7, 2010. They consist of group of three contiguous mineral tenures known as the Clapperton Property, covering an aggregate of approximately 825 hectares of land located in south central British Columbia, Canada, approximately 25 kilometers northeast of the town of Merritt, British Columbia. On May 25, 2011, we made a cash-in-lieu payment of approximately $3,632 ($CDN 3,632) which advances the expiry date of our three mineral tenures to June 7, 2012.

We have not determined whether any of our properties contain any mineral reserve. A mineral reserve is defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission in its Industry Guide 7 (which can be viewed over the Internet at http://www.sec.gov/about/forms/industryguides.pdf) as that part of a mineral deposit which could be economically and legally extracted or produced at the time of the reserve determination. There is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on any of our properties. Further exploration is required before we can evaluate whether any exist and, if so, whether it would be economically and legally feasible to develop or exploit those resources. Even if we are successful in identifying a mineral deposit, we would be required to spend substantial funds on further drilling and engineering studies before we could know whether that mineral deposit would constitute a reserve. Please refer to the section entitled “Risk Factors” for additional information about the risks of mineral exploration.

We have not begun significant operations and are considered an exploration stage company, as that term is defined in Industry Guide 7.

We have not generated any revenue from operations since our inception. We incurred a net loss of $3,405,546 during the quarter ended April 30, 2011. From inception through April 30, 2011, we have incurred a net loss of $25,648,674. We anticipate that we will continue to incur losses without generating any revenue from operations unless and until we are able to sell one or more of our resource properties or identify a mineral resource in a commercially exploitable quantity on one or more of our mineral properties and build and operate a mine, and there can be no assurance that we will ever be able to do so. In their report on our financial statements for the year ended January 31, 2011, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph expressing concern about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Relocation of Corporate Jurisdiction

On April 29, 2011, our shareholders approved a proposed change of corporate jurisdiction of our company from the State of Delaware to the Province of British Columbia, Canada. We began filing the documents necessary to effect this change on June 3, 2011. On June 3, 2011, our subsidiary SCRN Properties was continued into the Province of British Columbia. On June 6, 2011, our company merged into its wholly-owned Nevada subsidiary (which was incorporated in the State of Nevada for this sole purpose) and, on June 8, 2011, our company was continued from the State of Nevada and into the Province of British Columbia, Canada.

Revenue

We have earned only interest on our cash and cash equivalents. We have not earned any revenue from operations since inception and we do not anticipate earning any revenue from our operations until such time as we have entered into commercial production at one or more of our mineral projects or we sell one or more of our mineral properties. We are currently in the exploration stage of our business and we can provide no assurance that we will discover a reserve on our properties or, if we do discover a reserve, that we will be able to enter into commercial production.

Expenses

Mineral Exploration Activities

Our mineral exploration expenses increased by $2,179,741 or 260% from $837,782 during the three-month period ended April 30, 2010 to $3,017,523 during the three-month period ended April 30, 2011. The increase in our mineral exploration expenses during the three-month period ended April 30, 2011 was primarily due to our decision to ramp-up exploration activities at our Pinguino property. We plan to increase our mineral exploration expenses for the twelve-month period ending May 31, 2012 to approximately $15 million, subject to our ability to raise additional capital.

General and Administrative

Our general and administrative expenses increased by $327,758 or 103% from $318,970 during the three-month period ended April 30, 2010 to $646,728 during the three-month period ended April 30, 2011. This increase was primarily the result of:

  • an increase in investor relation expenses of $124,113 from $36,901 in the three-month period ended April 30, 2010 to $161,104 in the three-month period ended April 30, 2011. This increase is primarily due to our efforts to increase our market profile and the cost of our investor relations activities.

  • an increase in travel expense of $35,302 from $29,466 in the three-month period ended April 30, 2010 to $64,768 in the three-month period ended April 30, 2011. This increase was due primarily to support our enhanced investor relations activities; and

  • an increase in office and sundry expenses of $46,396 from $41,948 in the three-month period ended April 30, 2010 to $88,344 in the three-month period ended April 30, 2011, due primarily to an increase in transaction costs in transferring funds to Argentina. The increase in transaction costs resulted from an increase in the amount of funds sent to Argentina to fund our operations there during the three-month period ended April 30, 2011.

Stock-Based Compensation

Our stock-based compensation expense decreased by $66,934 or 38% from $174,432 in the three-month period ended April 30, 2010 to $107,498 for the three-month period ended April 30, 2011. Our stock-based compensation expense is calculated using the Black-Scholes valuation model and is allocated based on the service provided by the recipient of stock options to appropriate expense categories in our statement of operations as disclosed in note 8 to our financial statements. During the three-month period ended April 30, 2011 and 2010, our entire stock-based compensation expense was allocated to consulting fees.


6

Foreign exchange gain (loss)

Our foreign exchange gain (loss) increased by $364,875 or 2,802% from ($13,024) in the three-month period ended April 30, 2010 to $351,851 for the three-month period ended April 30, 2011. The increase in our foreign exchange gain was primarily due to our significant $CDN holdings in both cash and short-term investments and the decrease in the value of the $US vs. the $CDN as at April 30, 2011.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working Capital

Our working capital decreased by $1,957,109 from $5,316,067 at January 31, 2011 to $3,358,958 at April 30, 2011.

The following table summarizes our sources and uses of cash during the three month periods ended April 30, 2011 and 2010:

    April 30, 2011     April 30, 2010  
             
Cash flows used in operating activities $  (2,172,737 ) $  (1,195,819 )
Cash flows used in investing activities   (3,116,905 )   -  
Cash flows provided by financing activities   1,342,447     124,000  
Effect of foreign currency exchange   (87,270 )   149,706  
Net increase (decrease) in cash during period $  (4,034,465 ) $  (922,113 )

Net cash used in operating activities

Net cash used in operating activities during the three-month period ended April 30, 2011 was $2,172,737, compared to $1,195,819 during the three-month period ended April 30, 2010. The increase was primarily due to the cost of our drilling program during the three-month period.

Net cash used in investment activities

During the three-month period ended April 30, 2011, we purchased a 1.35% twelve month redeemable term deposit at a cost of approximately $4,109,097 (CDN$3,999,900), redeemed $1,000,138 ($CDN 968,000) of the term deposit and spent $7,496 on the acquisition of equipment. We did not use any cash for investment activities during the three-month period ended April 30, 2010.

Net cash provided by financing activities

During the three-month period ended April 30, 2011, we received cash of $1,040,247 on the exercise of 2,136,941 warrants and $302,200 on the exercise of 580,000 stock options.

During the three months ended April 30, 2010, we received cash of $56,500 on the issuance of 115,000 shares of common stock on the exercise of 115,000 options and $67,500 on the issuance of 450,000 shares of common stock on the exercise of 450,000 warrants.

Product Research and Development

We do not anticipate spending any significant sums on product research and development over the twelve month period ending May 31, 2012.


7

Purchase of Significant Equipment

We intend to purchase approximately $500,000 in equipment over the twelve month period ending May 31, 2012.

Cash Requirements

We anticipate that we will incur the following expenses during the 12 month period ending May 31, 2012:

Estimated Funding Required During the Next 12 Months

Expense   Amount  
Mineral exploration expenses and holding costs $ 14,800,000  
General and administrative expenses   2,300,000  
Purchase of equipment   500,000  
       
Accrued accounts payable   1,000,000  
Total $  18,600,000  
Cash and cash equivalents and short-term $ 3,600,000  
investments on hand, May 31, 2011,      
Estimated excess of cash requirements over      
cash resources $ 15,000,000  

Our cash on hand as at the date of this Form 10-Q is not sufficient to fund our budgeted operating requirements for the next 12 months as shown above and we anticipate that we will need an additional $15 million to fund our plan of operations during this period. In addition, our budget could increase or decrease during this period as a result of matters that we cannot anticipate at this time. Regardless of whether our budget remains the same or increases during the year, we do not currently have enough money to fund our planned activities during the next 12 months and we will have to raise additional funds or scale back on our planned mineral exploration. We have historically raised capital to fund our activities through the sale of equity and debt securities and we plan to raise any money that we need to fund our plan of operations through sales of our equity securities. However, except as discussed below, we do not currently have any arrangements in place for any financing and there can be no assurance that we will be able to sell any of our equity securities in order to fund our operating requirements.

Subsequent to April 30, 2011, we received approximately $539,527 from the exercise of warrants. At the date of this Form 10-Q, there are 3,049,072 warrants exercisable at prices below our current market price. If all of these warrants were exercised, we would receive proceeds of approximately $2.5 million. There can be no assurance that any of these warrants will be exercised.

On May 26, 2011, we announced that we had signed an engagement agreement pursuant to which we hope to raise up to CDN$20 million. We have not yet entered in to any formal agreements with any investors and there can be no assurance that we will raise any money.

Going Concern

These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going-concern basis, which implies that our company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. We have not generated any revenues from mineral sales since inception, have never paid any dividends and we are unlikely to pay dividends or generate significant earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. The continuation of our company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support of our shareholders, our ability to obtain financing and the attainment of profitable operations, or the sale, option or joint venture of one or more of our resource properties. Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flows depends on our ability to locate profitable mineral properties, generate revenues from mineral production and control production costs. Based upon our current plans, we expect to incur operating losses in future periods. We plan to obtain sufficient working capital through additional equity or debt financing, though there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so. At April 30, 2011, we had accumulated losses of $25,648,674 since inception (December 21, 2001).


8

These factors raise substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. There is no assurance that we will be able to generate significant revenues in the future or be successful with any financing ventures. These consolidated financial statements do not give any effect to any adjustments that would be necessary should our company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements and no non-consolidated, special-purpose entities.

Contingencies and Commitments

We had no contingencies at May 31, 2011.

We have the following long-term contractual obligations and commitments:

Operating leases

On June 1, 2008, we entered into a three year lease agreement payable at $2,350 per month until May 31, 2011.

On December 8, 2010, we entered into a five year lease agreement, commencing January 1, 2011 at approximately US$6,954 (CDN$6,954) per month for the first three years of the lease, and approximately US$7,289 (CDN$7,289) per month for the last two years of the term. The lease also includes four months of free base rent.

Consulting contracts

On September 1, 2009, with retroactive effect to August 1, 2009, we entered into a consulting agreement with Frontera Geological Services Ltd. and Kenneth Hicks, our President, Chief Executive Officer and a director of our company, pursuant to which Frontera Geological Services Ltd. agreed to cause Kenneth Hicks to provide, among other things, services to our company consistent with those ordinarily provided by a Chief Executive Officer, including the duties and responsibilities set out at schedule A to the consulting agreement and we agreed, among other things, to (i) pay Frontera Geological Services Ltd. a monthly cash fee of approximately $12,500 (CDN $12,500); (ii) grant Mr. Hicks options to purchase 100,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price equal to the closing price, last sale of the day, on the OTC Bulletin Board on the date the options were granted and with a term of three years from the date of grant; and (iii) pay incentive bonuses upon the occurrence of specified milestones. This agreement was approved by our shareholders at our annual meeting held on October 22, 2009. On September 2, 2009, we issued to Mr. Hicks the 100,000 options we were required to grant pursuant to the terms of this agreement.

On January 7, 2011, we entered into a consulting agreement with JBD Consulting Ltd. and Jeff Finkelstein, our Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer, pursuant to which JBD Consulting Ltd. agreed to cause Jeff Finkelstein to provide, among other things, services to our company consistent with those ordinarily provided by a Chief Financial Officer, including the duties and responsibilities set out at schedule A to the consulting agreement and we agreed, among other things, to (i) pay JBD Consulting Ltd. a monthly cash fee of approximately $12,500 ($CDN 12,500); (ii) grant Mr. Finkelstein options to purchase 150,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price equal to the closing price, last sale of the day, on the TSX Venture Exchange on the date the options were granted and with a term of three years from the date of grant. On January 7, 2011, we issued to Mr. Finkelstein the 150,000 options we were required to grant pursuant to the terms of this agreement. These options vest in four equal quarterly instalments (the first having vested on April 1, 2011), have an exercise price of $0.80 per share and a term that will expire on January 7, 2014, if not exercised before then.


9

On March 11, 2011, we entered into a consulting agreement with Peter A. Ball and Ariston Capital, a company owned and controlled by Mr. Ball, whereby Mr. Ball and Ariston Capital have agreed to provide consulting services as are consistent with those ordinarily provided by an Executive Vice President of Corporate Development (including the forging of new relationships with institutional investors, raising of capital to fund the continued development of our exploration and development programs, an expanded marketing and public relations program and assisting with corporate governance and regulatory matters) to our company in consideration for, among other things: (i) a monthly cash fee of approximately $12,500 ($CDN 12,500); due at the end of the month; and (ii) the grant of stock options to purchase 150,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price equal to the closing price, last sale of the day, on the TSX Venture Exchange on the date the options were granted and with a term of three years from the date of grant. On March 11, 2011, we issued to Mr. Ball the 150,000 options we were required to grant pursuant to the terms of this agreement. These options vest in four equal quarterly instalments (the first having vested on June 1, 2011), have an exercise price of $1.04 and a term that will expire on March 11, 2014, if not exercised before then.

Internal and External Sources of Liquidity

To date we have funded our operations by selling our securities, borrowing funds secured with promissory notes and issuing convertible debentures.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our interim consolidated financial statements are stated in United States dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and the Company’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and operating results require us to make judgments, assumptions, and estimates that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of this Form 10-Q and in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s 2010 Form 10-K describes the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates and such differences may be material.

Management believes the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates are those related to asset impairment, mineral claim payments and exploration expenditures and income taxes. Management considers these policies critical because they are both important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and operating results, and they require management to make judgments and estimates about inherently uncertain matters. The Company’s senior management has reviewed these critical accounting policies and related disclosures with the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors.

Asset Impairment

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life. Recoverability of these assets is measured by comparison of its carrying amount to future undiscounted cash flows the assets are expected to generate. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount exceeds its estimated recoverable value.


10

Mineral Claim Payments and Exploration Expenditures

We are primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties. Mineral property acquisition costs and mineral exploration rights are initially capitalized when incurred. Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred. The Company assesses the carrying costs for impairment when indicators of impairment exist. If proven and probable reserves are established for a property and it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed, costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the established life of the reserve.

Mineral property exploration and development costs are expensed as incurred until the establishment of economically viable reserves.

As of the date of these financial statements, the Company has yet to establish proven or probable reserves on any of its mineral properties.

Investment in and Expenditures on Mineral Property Interests

Realization of our investment in and expenditures on mineral properties is dependent upon the establishment of legal ownership, the attainment of successful production from the properties or from the proceeds of their disposal.

Title to mineral properties involves certain inherent risks due to the difficulties of determining the validity of certain claims as well as the potential for problems arising from ambiguous conveyance history of many mineral properties. To the best of our knowledge we believe all of our unproved mineral interests are in good standing and that we have title to all of these mineral property interests.

Income Taxes

We follow the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax balances and tax loss carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the year in which those differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the date of enactment. A valuation allowance is applied when in management’s view it is more likely than not (50%) that such deferred tax will not be utilized.

In the unlikely event that an uncertain tax position exists in which our company could incur income taxes, we would evaluate whether there is a probability that the uncertain tax position taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities. Reserves for uncertain tax position would then be recorded if we determined it is probable that a position would not be sustained upon examination or if a payment would have to be made to a taxing authority and the amount is reasonably estimable. As of May 31, 2011, our management does not believe it has any uncertain tax positions that would result in our having a liability to the taxing authorities. However, as a result of our change of corporate jurisdiction from the State of Delaware (Argentex Delaware) to the Province of British Columbia, Canada (Argentex BC), our management believes that we may encounter certain uncertain tax positions as follows:

United States Federal Income Tax Consequences

The change in our corporate jurisdiction from the State of Delaware to the Province of British Columbia, Canada is, for United States federal income tax purposes, treated as the transfer of the assets of Argentex Delaware to Argentex BC. We must recognize a gain on the assets held by our company at the time of the change in our corporate jurisdiction to the extent that the fair market value of any of our assets exceeds our respective basis. The calculation of any potential gain is made separately for each asset held by us. No loss will be allowed for any asset that has a taxable basis in excess of its fair market value.

Canadian Federal Income Tax Consequences

As a result of the merger, Argentex Delaware as the non-surviving corporation will be considered to have disposed of its assets to Argentex Nevada for proceeds equal to their fair market value. Argentex Delaware will be subject to Canadian federal income tax liabilities with respect to any gains realized as a result of the deemed disposition of all of its assets that constitute “taxable Canadian property” for the purposes of the Canadian federal income tax. As a result of the continuation, Argentex BC will be deemed to have disposed of, and immediately thereafter reacquired, all of its assets at their then fair market value. Gains arising on the deemed disposition of taxable Canadian property of Argentex BC, if any, will be subject to tax in Canada. However, if the adjusted cost base of the assets of Argentex BC is equal to the fair market value of the assets, due to the assets having been acquired by Argentex Nevada in the course of the merger shortly prior to the continuation in a disposition deemed to have taken place at fair market value, then no gain should be realized by Argentex BC.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by our company in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by our company in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures at April 30, 2011, which is the end of the period covered by this report. This evaluation was carried out by our President, who is our principal executive officer, and our Chief Financial Officer, who is our principal financial officer. Based on this evaluation, our President and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as at the end of the period covered by this report.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended April 30, 2011 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

Risks Relating to our Proposed Merger and Continuation

We may still be treated as a U.S. corporation and taxed on our worldwide income after the merger and continuation.

The merger and continuation of our company from the State of Delaware to the Province of British Columbia, Canada is considered a migration of our company from the State of Delaware to the Province of British Columbia, Canada. Certain transactions whereby a U.S. corporation migrates to a foreign jurisdiction can be considered by the United States Congress to be an abuse of the U.S. tax rules because thereafter the foreign entity is not subject to U.S. tax on its worldwide income. Section 7874(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), was enacted in 2004 to address this potential abuse. Section 7874(b) of the Code provides generally that certain corporations that migrate from the United States will nonetheless remain subject to U.S. tax on their worldwide income unless the migrating entity has substantial business activities in the foreign country to which it is migrating when compared to its total business activities.

If Section 7874(b) of the Code applies to the migration of our company from the State of Delaware to the Province of British Columbia, Canada, our company would continue to be subject to United States federal income taxation on its worldwide income. Section 7874(b) of the Code could apply to our migration unless we have substantial business activities in Canada when compared to our total business activities.

We may be classified as a Passive Foreign Investment Company as a result of the merger and continuation.

Sections 1291 to 1298 of the Code contain the Passive Foreign Investment Company (“PFIC”) rules. These rules generally provide for punitive treatment of “U.S. holders” of PFICs. A foreign corporation is classified as a PFIC if more than 75% of its gross income is passive income or more than 50% of its assets produce passive income or are held for the production of passive income.

Because we expect that most of our assets after the merger and continuation will be cash or cash equivalents and shares of our wholly-owned subsidiary, SCRN Properties Ltd., we may in the future be classified as a PFIC. If we are classified as a PFIC, then the holders of shares of our company who are U.S. taxpayers may be subject to PFIC provisions which may impose U.S. taxes, in addition to those normally applicable, on the sale of their shares of our company or on distribution from our company.

Now that we have completed the merger and continuation, we may no longer be required to file quarterly financial statements that have been reviewed by our independent auditors, as required by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Although we have changed our corporate jurisdiction to the Province of British Columbia, Canada, we still have to comply with reporting requirements under United States securities laws. However, these requirements could be reduced because we will no longer be incorporated in a state of the United States.

We currently prepare our financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”). We file our audited annual financial statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission with our annual reports on Form 10-K and we file our unaudited interim financial statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission with our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. Now that we have completed the merger and continuation, we hope to eventually meet the definition of a “foreign private issuer” under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. As a foreign private issuer, we anticipate that we would be eligible to file our annual reports each year with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 20-F. As a foreign private issuer filing annual reports on Form 20F, we would not be required to file quarterly reports on Forms 10-Q. Instead, we would file with the Securities and Exchange Commission on a quarterly basis interim financial statements that have not been reviewed by our auditors, together with management’s discussion and analysis in the form required under Canadian securities legislation. We anticipate that we will continue to prepare our financial statements in accordance with US GAAP despite the change of our corporate jurisdiction.


13

If we can eventually meet the definition of a “foreign private issuer” under the Securities Exchange Act, as amended, insiders of our company will no longer be required to file insider reports under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and they will no longer be subject to the “short swing profit rule” of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Once we become a foreign private issuer (as defined under the Securities Exchange Act, as amended) our directors, officers and stockholders owning more than 10% of our outstanding common stock will be subject to the insider filing requirements imposed by Canadian securities laws but they will be exempt from the insider requirements imposed by Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Canadian securities laws do not impose on insiders any equivalent of the “short swing profit rule” imposed by Section 16 and, once we qualify as a foreign private issuer, our insiders will no longer be subject to liability for profits realized from any “short swing” trading transactions, or a purchase and sale, or a sale and purchase, of our equity securities within less than six months. As a result, our stockholders may not enjoy the same degree of protection against insider trading as they would under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Once we qualify as a foreign private issuer (as defined under the Securities Exchange Act, as amended), our company will no longer be required to comply with Regulation FD.

Regulation FD, which was promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to prevent certain selective disclosure by reporting companies, does not apply to foreign private issuers (as defined under the Securities Exchange Act, as amended) and will not apply to us once we have qualified as a foreign private issuer. As a result, our stockholders may not enjoy the same degree of protection against selective disclosure as they would under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

The rights of our stockholders will change as a result of the merger and continuation.

Because of the differences between Delaware law and British Columbia law, our stockholder’s rights have changed as a result of the continuation. For a detailed discussion of these differences, see “Material Differences of the Rights of Our Stockholders After the Change of Our Corporate Jurisdiction.” section of our S-4/A filed on EDGAR on March 17, 2011.

The market for shares of our company as a British Columbia corporation may differ from the market for shares of our company as a Delaware corporation.

Although we anticipate that our common shares will continue to be quoted or listed on both the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority’s OTC Bulletin Board and the TSX Venture Exchange following the completion of the merger and continuation, the market prices, trading volume and volatility of the shares of our company as a British Columbia corporation could be different from those of the shares of our company as a Delaware corporation. We cannot predict what effect, if any, the continuation will have on the market price prevailing from time to time or the liquidity of our common shares.

Risks Associated With Mining

All of our properties are in the exploration stage. There is no assurance that we can establish the existence of any mineral reserve on any of our properties. Unless and until we can do so, we cannot earn any revenues from operations and if we do not do so we may lose all of the funds that we have spent on exploration. If we do not discover any mineral reserve, our business may fail.

Despite exploration work on our mineral properties, we have not established that any of them contain any mineral reserve, nor can there be any assurance that we will be able to do so. If we do not, our business may fail. A mineral reserve is defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission in its Industry Guide 7 (which can be viewed over the Internet at http://www.sec.gov/about/forms/industryguides.pdf ) as that part of a mineral deposit which could be economically and legally extracted or produced at the time of the reserve determination. The probability of an individual prospect ever having a “reserve” that meets the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Industry Guide 7 is extremely remote; in all probability none of our mineral resource properties contains any ‘reserve’ and any funds that we spend on exploration will probably be lost.


14

The commercial viability of an established mineral deposit will depend on a number of factors including, by way of example, the size, grade and other attributes of the mineral deposit, the proximity of the resource to infrastructure such as a smelter, roads and a point for shipping, government regulation and market prices. Most of these factors will be beyond our control, and any of them could increase costs and make extraction of any identified mineral resource unprofitable.

Mineral operations are subject to applicable law and government regulation. Even if we discover a mineral resource in a commercially exploitable quantity, these laws and regulations could restrict or prohibit the exploitation of that mineral resource. If we cannot exploit any mineral resource that we discover on our properties, our business may fail.

Both mineral exploration and extraction require permits from various foreign, federal, state, provincial and local governmental authorities and are governed by laws and regulations, including those with respect to prospecting, mine development, mineral production, transport, export, taxation, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, land use, environmental protection, mine safety and other matters. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain or maintain any of the permits required for the continued exploration of our mineral properties or for the construction and operation of a mine on our properties at an economically viable cost. If we cannot accomplish these objectives, our business could fail. Although we believe that we are in compliance with all material laws and regulations that currently apply to our activities, we can give no assurance that we can continue to remain in compliance. Current laws and regulations could be amended and we might not be able to comply with them, as amended. Further, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain or maintain all permits necessary for our future operations, or that we will be able to obtain them on reasonable terms. To the extent such approvals are required and are not obtained, we may be delayed or prohibited from proceeding with planned exploration or development of our mineral properties.

If we establish the existence of a mineral reserve on any of our properties, we will require additional capital in order to develop the property into a producing mine. If we cannot raise this additional capital, we will not be able to exploit the reserve and our business could fail.

If we do discover a mineral reserve on any of our properties, we will be required to expend substantial sums of money to establish the extent of the reserve, develop processes to extract it and develop extraction and processing facilities and infrastructure. Although we may derive substantial benefits from the discovery of a reserve, there can be no assurance that any reserve established will be large enough to justify commercial operations, nor can there be any assurance that we will be able to raise the funds required for development on a timely basis. If we cannot raise the necessary capital or complete the necessary facilities and infrastructure, our business may fail.

Mineral exploration and development is subject to extraordinary operating risks. We do not currently insure against these risks. In the event of a cave-in or similar occurrence, our liability may exceed our resources, which would have an adverse impact on our company.

Mineral exploration, development and production involve many risks which even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome. Our operations will be subject to all of the hazards and risks inherent in these activities and, if we discover a mineral reserve, our operations could be subject to all of the hazards and risks inherent in the development and production of a mineral reserve, including liability for pollution, cave-ins or similar hazards against which we cannot insure or against which we may elect not to insure. Any such event could result in work stoppages and damage to property, including damage to the environment. We do not currently maintain any insurance coverage against these operating hazards. The payment of any liabilities that may arise from any such occurrence would likely have a material adverse impact on our company.


15

Mineral prices are subject to dramatic and unpredictable fluctuations and the economic viability of any of our exploration properties and projects cannot be accurately predicted.

We expect to derive revenues, if any, either from the sale of our mineral properties or from the extraction and sale of precious and base metals such as gold, silver, copper, zinc and indium. The price of these commodities has fluctuated widely in recent years and is affected by numerous factors beyond our control, including international, economic and political trends, expectations of inflation, currency exchange fluctuations, interest rates, global or regional consumptive patterns, speculative activities and increased production due to new extraction developments and improved extraction and production methods. The effect of these factors is based on the price of precious metals and therefore the economic viability of any of our exploration properties cannot accurately be predicted.

The mining industry is highly competitive and there is no assurance that we will continue to be successful in acquiring mineral claims. If we cannot continue to acquire properties to explore for mineral resources, we may be required to reduce or cease operations.

The mineral exploration, development, and production industry is largely unintegrated. We may compete with other exploration companies looking for mineral resource properties. Some of these other companies possess greater financial resources and technical facilities. This competition could adversely affect our ability to acquire suitable prospects for exploration in the future. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will acquire any interest in additional mineral resource properties that might yield reserves or result in commercial mining operations. While we may compete with other exploration companies in the effort to locate and acquire mineral resource properties, we do not believe that we will compete with them for the removal or sales of mineral products from our properties if we should eventually discover the presence of them in quantities sufficient to make production economically feasible. Readily available markets exist worldwide for the sale of mineral products. Therefore, we will likely be able to sell any mineral products that we identify and produce.

Risks Associated with Our Company

The fact that we have not earned any operating revenues since our incorporation raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue to explore our mineral properties as a going concern.

We have not generated any revenue from operations since our incorporation. During the quarter ended April 30, 2011, we incurred a net loss of $3,405,546. From inception through April 30, 2011, we have incurred an aggregate loss of $25,648,674. We anticipate that we will continue to incur operating expenses without revenues unless and until we are able to identify a mineral resource in a commercially exploitable quantity on one or more of our mineral properties and build and operate a mine or sell one or more of our resource properties. On May 31, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments in the amount of approximately $3.6 million. We estimate our average monthly operating expenses will be approximately $190,000, excluding exploration but including general and administrative expenses, and we plan to spend approximately $15 million on the exploration of our mineral properties during this period. We believe that our cash on hand will not be sufficient to fund our currently budgeted operating requirements for the 12 month period ending May 31, 2012. In addition, our budget could increase during the balance of the year in response to matters that cannot be currently anticipated and we might find that we need to raise even more capital in order to properly address these items. As we cannot assure a lender that we will be able to successfully explore and develop our mineral properties, we will probably find it difficult to raise debt financing from traditional lending sources. We have traditionally raised our operating capital from sales of equity and debt securities, but there can be no assurance that we will continue to be able to do so. The unpredictable economy in the United States and the volatile public equity markets may make it more difficult for us to raise capital as and when we need it, and it is difficult for us to assess the impact this might have on our operations or liquidity and to determine whether the prices we might receive on the sale of minerals, if we discover any in commercially exploitable quantities, would exceed the cost of mineral exploitation and development. If we cannot raise the funds that we require to continue exploration of our mineral properties, we may be forced to delay, scale back, or eliminate our exploration activities. If any of these were to occur, there is a substantial risk that our business would fail.


16

We have a limited operating history on which to base an evaluation of our business and prospects and we can provide investors with no assurance that we will generate any operating revenues or ever achieve profitable operations.

Although we have been in the business of exploring mineral resource properties since 2002, we have not yet located any mineral reserve and we have never had any revenues from our operations. In addition, our operating history has been restricted to the acquisition and exploration of our mineral properties and this does not provide a meaningful basis for an evaluation of our prospects if we ever determine that we have a mineral reserve and commence the construction and operation of a mine. We have no way to evaluate the likelihood of whether our mineral properties contain any mineral reserve or, if they do, that we will be able to build or operate a mine successfully. We anticipate that we will continue to incur operating costs without realizing any revenues during the period when we are exploring our properties. During the 12 month period ending May 31, 2012, we expect to spend approximately $17.5 million on the exploration of our mineral properties and on general and administrative expenses. We therefore expect to continue to incur significant losses into the foreseeable future. If we are unable to generate significant revenues from mining operations and any dispositions of our properties, we will not be able to earn profits or continue operations. At this early stage of our operation, we also expect to face the risks, uncertainties, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies at the start up stage of their business development. We cannot be sure that we will be successful in addressing these risks and uncertainties and our failure to do so could have a materially adverse effect on our financial condition. There is no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we will prove successful and we can provide investors with no assurance that we will generate any operating revenues or ever achieve profitable operations.

Because all of our officers and directors are located outside of the United States, you may have no effective recourse against them for misconduct and you may not be able to enforce judgment and civil liabilities against them.

All of our directors and officers are nationals and/or residents of 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 investors to enforce within the United States any judgments obtained against our officers or directors, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof.

Our stock is a penny stock. Trading of our stock may be restricted by the SEC’s penny stock regulations and the FINRA’s sales practice requirements, which may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

Our stock is a penny stock. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which generally defines “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors”. The term “accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in, and limit the marketability of, our common stock.

In addition to the “penny stock” rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority believes that there is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock.

Trends, Risks and Uncertainties

We have sought to identify what we believe to be the most significant risks to our business, but we cannot predict whether, or to what extent, any of such risks may be realized nor can we guarantee that we have identified all possible risks that might arise. Investors should carefully consider all of such risk factors before making an investment decision with respect to our common stock.
