(An Exploration Stage Company)

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2011

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

(Unaudited)

1.	NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS

	EMC Metals Corp. (the “Company”) is incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia. The Company is focused on specialty metals exploration and production and has recently acquired various metallurgical technologies and licenses that it is utilizing to gain access to a number of specialty metals opportunities.

	The Company’s principal properties are located in the state of Nevada, Australia, and Norway. The Company’s principal asset, the Springer Tungsten mill, is currently on care and maintenance pending a sustained improvement in tungsten prices. To June 30, 2011, the Company has not commenced production and has generated no revenue. The Company’s remaining properties are in the exploration or pre-exploration stage. As such, the Company is in the exploration stage and anticipates incurring significant expenditures prior to commencement of contract milling operations.

	These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis that contemplates the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities at their carrying values in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. These financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that may be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

	The Company currently earns no operating revenues and will require additional capital in order to refit its Springer tungsten mill and earn its 50% interest in the Nyngan property. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is uncertain and is dependent upon the generation of profits from mineral properties, obtaining additional financing or maintaining continued support from its shareholders and creditors. The Company is currently working on securing additional financing to meet its needs; however there is no guarantee that these efforts will be successful. In the event that additional financial support is not received or operating profits are not generated, the carrying values of the Company’s assets may be adversely affected. The inability to raise additional financing may affect the future assessment of the Company as a going concern.

2.	SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

	The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared by the Company in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) applicable to interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed, or omitted, pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management the unaudited interim financial statements include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, except as otherwise noted below. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2010. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for any other interim period or for a full fiscal year.

	Fair value of financial assets and liabilities

	The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on US GAAP guidance which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

	The Company classifies financial assets and liabilities as held-for-trading, available-for-sale, held-to-maturity, loans and receivables or other financial liabilities depending on their nature. Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized at fair value on their initial recognition, except for those arising from certain related party transactions which are accounted for at the transferor’s carrying amount or exchange amount.

	Financial assets and liabilities classified as held-for-trading are measured at fair value, with gains and losses recognized in net income. Financial assets classified as held-to-maturity, loans and receivables, and financial liabilities other than those classified as held-for-trading are measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest method of amortization. Financial assets classified as available-for-sale are measured at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses being recognized as other comprehensive income until realized, or if an unrealized loss is considered other than temporary, the unrealized loss is recorded in income.

	Financial instruments, including receivables, subscriptions receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to related parties, and promissory notes payable are carried at cost, which management believes approximates fair value due to the short term nature of these instruments. Investments in trading securities are classified as held for trading, with unrealized gains and losses being recognized in income.

	The following table presents information about the assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2011, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine such fair value. In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize data points that are observable such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield curves. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs are unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset:

3.	RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

	In April 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2010-13, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718), amending ASC 718. ASU 2010-13 clarifies that a stock-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which the entity’s equity securities trade should not be classified as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity. ASU 2010-13 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010 (January 1, 2011 for the Company). The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2010-09, but does not expect its adoption to have a material impact on the Company’s financial reporting disclosures.

	In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-29, which contains updated accounting guidance to clarify the acquisition date that should be used for reporting pro forma financial information when comparative financial statements are issued. This update requires that a company should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. This update also requires disclosure of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments. The provisions of this update, which are to be applied prospectively, are effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. The impact of this update on the Company’s consolidated financial statements will depend on the size and nature of future business combinations.

4.	INVESTMENTS IN TRADING SECURITIES

	At June 30, 2011, the Company held investments classified as trading securities, which consisted of various equity securities. All trading securities are carried at fair value. As of June 30, 2011, the fair value of trading securities was $2,250 (2010 – $2,250).

Title to mineral property interests involves certain inherent risks due to the difficulties of determining the validity of certain claims as well as the potential for problems arising from the frequently ambiguous conveyancing history characteristic of many mineral property interests. The Company has investigated title to all of its mineral property interests and, to the best of its knowledge, title to all of its properties is in good standing.

Impairment of mineral properties

During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company has reviewed the carrying value of its mineral properties for impairment and compared the carrying value to the future cash flows in the case of its tungsten properties, and fair market value in respect of its remaining properties, and has written down its gold properties by $1,138,432. The Company sold these properties during the year.

TUNGSTEN PROPERTY

Springer Property

On November 21, 2006, the Company acquired all outstanding and issued shares of Springer Mining Company (“Springer”). Included in the assets of Springer and allocated to property, plant and equipment (Note 5) are the Springer Mine and Mill located in Pershing County, Nevada.

	a)	Incur exploration and metallurgical work of A$500,000 (CAD$466,000) within 180 business days of the conditions precedent being satisfied, or pay cash in lieu thereof. On September 29, 2010 the Company received a six month extension to complete its exploration commitment. In the event that the Company wishes to continue the joint venture, the Company must deliver a feasibility study within 480 (extended to February 28, 2012) business days of the conditions precedent being satisfied, failing which the agreement will terminate.

	b)	Upon delivering the feasibility study to Jervois, pay to Jervois an additional A$1,300,000 plus GST at which time it will be granted a 50% interest in the joint venture. The joint venture agreement provides for straight-line dilution, with interests diluted below 10% being converted into a 2% NSR royalty.

	Tardal and Evje properties, Norway

	The Company has entered into an earn-in agreement with REE Mining AS (“REE”), whereby the Company has an option to earn up to a 100% interest in the Tardal and Evje properties. To earn its interest, the Company must pay REE US$630,000, including an initial cash payment of US$130,000 (paid) and issue 1,000,000 common shares.

	The Company is also required to incur US$250,000 of exploration work to be completed over 18 months from the date of closing in order to acquire its interest.

7.	RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

	Related party transactions not disclosed elsewhere are summarized as follows:

	During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company paid or accrued consulting fees of $Nil (2010 - $46,175) to the former CEO of the Company and paid or accrued consulting fees of $98,293 (2010 - $Nil) to the current CEO and president of the Company.

	The above transactions occurred in the normal course of operations and were measured at the exchange amount, which is the amount of consideration established and agreed to by the related parties. Amounts payable to related parties have no specific terms of repayment, are unsecured, and have no interest rate.

8.	DERIVATIVE LIABILITY

	The Company evaluated the application of SFAS 133 and EITF 00-19 for the settlement of convertible debentures through the issuance of shares and warrants. Based on the guidance in SFAS 133 and EITF 00-19, the Company concluded that the warrants were required to be accounted for as derivatives. The warrants issued pursuant to the settlement were in a functional currency different than that of the Company and therefore met the attributes of a liability. The Company is required to record the fair value of these warrants on its balance sheet at fair value with changes in the values of these derivatives reflected in the statement of operations.

	The Company uses the Black-Scholes valuation model for calculation of the fair value of derivative liabilities. The Company uses volatility rates based upon the closing stock price of its common stock. The Company uses a risk-free interest rate which is the bank of Canada rate with a maturity that approximates the estimated expected life of a derivative. The Company uses the closing market price of the common stock on the date of issuance of a derivative or at the end of a quarter when a derivative is valued at fair value. The volatility was 100%, the risk-free interest rate was 1%, a dividend rate of 0%, and the expected life was 0.17 and 1.17 years respectively, during the years ending December 31, 2010 and 2009.

	During the period ended June 30, 2011, the warrants expired and the derivative liability was valued at $Nil resulting in a change in fair value of $228,741 realized through the statement of operations.

Overview

EMC is a specialty metals company focusing on scandium, tungsten, molybdenum, vanadium, and other specialty metals. The Company intends to utilize its patented technologies and know-how to maximize opportunities in these and other specialty metals.

The Company was formed in 2006, under the name Golden Predator Mines Inc. As part of a reorganization and spin-out of the Company’s precious metals portfolio in March 2009, the Company changed its name to EMC Metals Corp. The Company currently trades on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol “EMC”.

The Company’s most advanced asset is the Springer Tungsten Mine, a fully constructed mine and mill asset in Nevada, USA. The Springer mine is currently not operating, and the Company is offering the asset for sale.

The Company holds a 50% interest earn-in right in the Nyngan scandium project in New South Wales, Australia, and it is advancing the project as the manager. EMC also owns two other properties: the recently acquired Tørdal scandium property in Southern Norway, and the Carlin vanadium property, in Nevada, USA. The company sold its Fostung tungsten property in Ontario, Canada during the quarter.

The Company acquired rights to metallurgical processing know-how as part of the acquisition of The Technology Store Inc. (“TTS”) during the prior year, which it is utilizing to gain access to a number of specialty metals opportunities.

The Company’s focus during the quarter regarding Springer Mine included maintaining that asset on standby mode, and organizing and pursuing a sale process on this asset, underway since September 2010. The Company also advanced the Nyngan scandium project through metallurgical testing, process definition, and optimization work, and completed a soil sampling program at the Tørdal scandium property. The Company also investigated other specialty metals opportunities.

Principal Properties

Springer Tungsten: The Springer Tungsten Mine (“Springer”), located in Pershing County in northwestern Nevada, was constructed by Utah International Inc. for the General Electric Company (“GE”), and was completed and commissioned in early 1981. The facility consists of a 1,000 ton per day (“tpd”) electro-pneumatic underground rail mine and a mill facility with crushing, grinding and flotation circuits. Springer operated for less than a year before being put on care and maintenance by GE, due to low tungsten prices. Since acquiring Springer in 2006, EMC has spent approximately $38 million on the facility, specifically on rehabilitation, process improvements and mill throughput expansion. The necessary federal, state and local permits are in place, along with an adequate water resource, to re-start the facility..

The latest National Instrument (“NI”) 43-101 resource technical report on the Springer property, independently prepared by Dr. Bart Stryhas of SRK Consulting Engineers and Scientists of Lakewood, Colorado, titled, “NI 43-101 Technical Report on Resources Springer Facility- Sutton Beds, Nevada, USA,” is dated May 15, 2009 and was filed on SEDAR on May 26, 2009 That resource estimate can be summarized as follows:

Springer Tungsten Project NI 43-101 Resource Estimation Stryhas (2010) of SRK Consulting

Indicated	0.30	274,000	0.619	169,606

Inferred	0.30	1,097,000	0.562	616,514

Dr. Stryhas is a Principal Resource Geologist with SRK Consulting's Denver Mining Group and a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101. He is independent of EMC by all tests of NI 43-101.

Nyngan Scandium: In February of 2010, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement (the “JV”) with Jervois Mining Limited (“Jervois”) of Melbourne, Australia (ASX: JRV) to develop the Nyngan scandium property in New South Wales, Australia. The terms of the JV require EMC to earn in to a 50% position through a two stage work program.

the first stage required EMC to spend a minimum of A$500,000 on project exploration and metallurgical test work by mid December 2010, and
the second stage requires the delivery of a feasibility study in the first quarter of 2012.

The JV partners agreed to extend the stage I work timeframe into 2011 and those first stage requirements were met during the second quarter of 2011. Feasibility study work is now underway, conducted by SNC-Lavalin of Brisbane, Australia. Upon EMC delivering the feasibility study to Jervois, EMC must pay to Jervois an additional A$1,300,000 plus the applicable Goods and Services tax, at which time it will be granted a 50% interest in the joint venture

The Nyngan scandium resource is located approximately 500 kilometres northwest of Sydney, Australia. The property consists of two exploration licenses, controlled by Jervois, which encompass over 9,000 hectares. The scandium resource is hosted within the lateritic zone of the Gilgai Intrusion, one of several Alaskan-type mafic and ultramafic bodies which intrude Cambrian-Ordovician metasediments collectively called the Girilambone Group. The laterite zone, locally up to 40 metres thick, is layered with hematitic clay at the surface followed by limonitic clay, saprolitic clay, weathered bedrock and finally fresh bedrock. The scandium mineralization is concentrated within the hematitic, limonitic, and saprolitic zones with values up to 350 ppm scandium.

In March of 2010, EMC announced receipt of a NI 43-101 resource estimate on the Nyngan scandium property, the results of which were filed on SEDAR in April 2010. That resource estimate can be summarized as follows:

Nyngan Scandium Project NI 43-101 Resource Estimation Rangott, Pursell and Jannink (2010) of Jervois Mining
Resource Category	Tonnes	Grade (ppm Sc)	Overburden Ratio

Measured	2,718,000	274	0.81:1

Indicated	9,294,000	258	1.40:1

Total	12,012,000	261	1.10:1

Assumes 100 ppm scandium cutoff.

The first work phase of the JV development program consisted of detailed metallurgical bench scale testing, and was intended to refine and enhance the Company’s existing material process flow sheet to extract scandium from the resource material. This existing flow sheet, developed by Jervois and external consultants, formed the basis of a preliminary, conceptual engineering study for the processing elements of the project, (press release dated July, 2010), completed by Roberts & Schaefer of Salt Lake City, Utah.

The Roberts & Schaefer report included capital and operating cost estimates, based on process flow sheets and technical reports done for Jervois or EMC on various metallurgical aspects of the resource. These technical/process reports were done by METCON Laboratories of Sydney, Australia, the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Organization (CSIRO), Australia’s national science agency, or by other research work, proprietary to or sourced by Jervois or EMC. The bulk of the process applied by Roberts & Schaefer in the Report was defined by bench scale as well as small scale pilot plant work results compiled by others, and a preliminary flow sheet complied by the CSIRO.

Highlights of the Report are as follows:

Capital costs for the laterite processing facility are estimated at US$56 million, including US$15 million for a sulphuric acid plant on site,
Processing costs are estimated at less than US$300/kg Sc₂O₃,
The hydrometallurgical plant is designed to process approximately 250 tpd of resource,
Production of Sc₂O₃is estimated at 28,000 kilograms per year, and
Process assumptions are proprietary, follow earlier work done by METCON Research and the CSIRO of Australia, and include standard and accepted processes for applying ore preparation, leaching, solvent extraction and product preparation methodologies.

Note that mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The above estimates of capital and operating costs are a component of a number of factors required to complete a preliminary assessment of the economic viability of the project, and there is no guarantee that the company will achieve production from the resource at Nyngan.

In January 2011, EMC announced results of initial lab test work, independently prepared by Hazen Research, Inc., of Golden, Colorado, USA. These results defined general results involving conventional contained acid leach systems and suggested recoveries from resource of up to 75%. No secondary recoveries were considered in these initial bench-scale tests.

The second phase of the Hazen test work program continued through July, and involves continuous pilot plant testing of the acid leach systems, solvent extraction systems and product finish systems identified by earlier CSIRO work. The overall objectives of the test work program are to define and optimize a process or series of processes that achieves an 80% scandium recovery, lowest possible capital and operating costs, and most benign environmental impact, using standard and accepted processes. These updated metallurgical test results are expected to be incorporated into a feasibility study (FS), which EMC plans to complete in Q1 2012.

In February, 2011 EMC announced results of a series of laboratory-scale tests investigating the production of scandium-aluminum (“Sc-Al”) alloys directly from aluminum oxide and scandium oxide feed materials, prepared by the CSIRO. The overall objective of this research is to demonstrate and commercialize the production of Sc-Al master alloy using impure scandium oxide as the scandium source, potentially significantly improving the economics of scandium aluminum master alloy production.

Currently there are no primary producers of scandium oxide products. The world supply of scandium is produced solely as byproducts from other process streams, mainly from uranium, tungsten, tin and titanium production. The United States Geological Survey in its latest report (January, 2010) quotes a price of US$1,400 per kilogram of Sc₂O₃(scandium oxide) for the four previous years^.

Carlin Vanadium: The Carlin vanadium project consists of 72 unpatented mineral claims covering approximately 578 hectares, located along the western flank of the Piñon Range near the town of Carlin, Nevada.

The Carlin resource was discovered in the 1960s by Union Carbide Corp. (“UCC”) when significantly anomalous vanadium was found in samples collected by UCC Geologists (Galli, 1968, Morgan, 1968). During 1967 and 1968 UCC conducted exploration work including geological mapping, ~15,000 feet of trenching, and ~36,500 feet of drilling in 112 holes, outlining a zone of vanadium mineralization within the current claim boundary.

The vanadium mineralization is hosted within a 15-metre (50-foot) thick horizon of black shales within the Devonian Woodruff Formation, which consists of dark grey to black siliceous mudstones, and chert with lesser amounts of shale, siltstone, dolomitic siltstone, and calcareous sandstone. The Woodruff formation is unconformably overlain by shallow dipping Permian-Pennsylvanian siltstones, shales, conglomerates, and carbonates of the Chainman and Diamond Peak Formations.

Historical metallurgical test work from the Carlin vanadium project, completed by the U.S. Department of Mines (Brooks and Potter, 1974), showed that up to 69% of the vanadium could be recovered from weathered dolomitic shales containing 1% V₂O₅(vanadium oxide). Preliminary test work on fresh black shales shows similar recoveries using a salt roast and acid leaching.

In April, 2010, EMC announced receipt of an NI 43-101 compliant technical report and resource estimation for the Carlin vanadium project, located approximately 40 kilometres south of Elko, Nevada, USA. The Technical Report, titled, “NI 43-101 Technical Report on Resources, EMC Metals Corp., Carlin Vanadium Project. Carlin, Nevada”, prepared by SRK Consulting US, was subsequently filed on SEDAR in May, 2010. The technical report outlines a NI 43-101 compliant inferred resource of 25.4 million tonnes grading 0.5%V₂O₅for a total of 289 million pounds of total contained V₂O₅, as outlined below.

Principal Property Updates for the Period April 1, 2011 to August 12, 2011

Nyngan Scandium Project: On April 11, 2011 EMC announced a general progress report on the Nyngan Scandium Project in New South Wales, Australia. Specific work steps underway or imminent were outlined, including:

ground water assessment program (including drilling),
surface water assessment program,
Aboriginal heritage review,
ecology review,
traffic, noise and air quality baseline monitoring, and
aerial photography and contour mapping for the property, specifically the anticipated location of site facilities.

The ground water assessment work commenced in April, with a program to install 8 ground water bores to test and evaluate the presence, salinity, and volumes of natural ground water, both in the proposed open pit area as well as anticipated facilities locations. The press release also indicated that permanent water monitoring equipment would be installed to collect seasonal data on well water levels, that a surface water study would be initiated and that aerial mapping and a subsequent ground survey would be commissioned thereafter.

On June 6, 2011 EMC announced that SNC-Lavalin Pty Ltd (“SNC”) has been selected to develop the feasibility study on the Nyngan Scandium Project in New South Wales, Australia. The feasibility work will be conducted from SNC’s Brisbane office and is scheduled for completion by year end.

The Company also provided a second update on work on a number of environmental and project site development activities at Nyngan, specifically the completion of ground water drilling, the near completion of water testing, and the completion of the aerial survey work needed for the feasibility study. This second update also announced the initiation of certain environmental baseline data gathering on traffic, noise and air quality information and the initiation of an Aboriginal heritage and ecology review, all required for a standard Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and approval of a mining permit for the project.

Fostung Tungsten Property: On June 14, 2011 EMC announced the sale of the Fostung tungsten property, located in Foster Township, Sudbury, Ontario, Canada, to Janus Resources Inc. (“Janus”) (OTCBB: JANI), a US-listed mineral exploration and development company focused on the acquisition and development of advanced mineral properties. The sale price was $500,000 cash, for 100% of the property rights.

Norwegian Exploration Program: On July 21, 2011 EMC Metals Corp. announced encouraging assay results from a surface soil sampling program conducted in June on a 3.75 sq km portion of its Tørdal property, a scandium, rare earth element ("REE"), and specialty metals pegmatite project in Telemark County, southern Norway.

Highlights of Initial Surface Soil Sample Program:

The best sample assay returned a 217 ppm scandium value,
Eleven soil samples contained +50 ppm scandium, of which five samples exceeded 85 ppm and three exceeded 150 ppm,
The eleven soil samples were clustered within an area measuring 700 x 100 metres, or approximately 35% of the total sample area,
A total of 131 soil samples were collected at 100-metre spacing intervals, in more accessible areas that avoided steep terrain,
The total sample area represented a zone of about 1,500 x 2,500 metres within the Heftetjern pegmatite field, and
Many previously unmapped pegmatite dykes were noted in the areas traversed, some traceable on surface for several hundred metres.

The results of this initial soil sampling program are, by their nature, preliminary, and not conclusive evidence of the likelihood of a mineral resource.

EMC’s acquisition of 100% of the Tørdal property option rights was announced in April 2011. The property, originally encompassing a 40 sq km area in southern Norway, has since been increased to 140 sq km.

The soil sampling program focused on a 3.75 sq km area, northwest of the town of Bø, in an area between the communities of Høydalen and Skardsfjell. Known as the Heftetjern region, this location exhibits numerous known pegmatite occurrences, including a locally famous pegmatite quarry associated with several unique scandium, tin, and beryllium mineral types. Steep slopes were generally avoided and sampling was carried out in the most accessible locations. The sampling program of 131 samples was based on soil sampling of 100 x 100 metre grids and covered somewhat less than half of the target area due to terrain impediments. The most promising scandium-bearing zone was observed at the north end of the tested area, and remains open to the north.

The 140 sq km Tørdal property is one of two pegmatite areas in southern Norway being explored by EMC. The other property, Evje-Iveland, located in Aust-Agder county originally encompassed an 80 sq km area, but has been increased in size to 150 sq km. Evje-Iveland is also prospective for scandium and REE's plus certain base metals, notably nickel.

Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors Regarding Resource Estimates

Certain terms used in this section are those used in accordance with the requirements of the securities laws in effect in Canada, which differ from the requirements of U.S. securities laws. Canadian requirements, including NI 43-101, differ significantly from the requirements of the SEC, and resource information contained herein may not be comparable to similar information disclosed by companies providing mineral property disclosure solely in accordance with U.S. requirements.

In particular, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the term “resource” does not equate to the term “reserves”. The requirements of NI 43-101 for identification of “reserves” are not the same as those of the SEC, and reserves reported in compliance with NI 43-101 may not qualify as “reserves” under SEC standards. Under U.S. standards, mineralization may not be classified as a “reserve” unless the determination has been made that the mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted at the time the reserve determination is made.

The SEC’s disclosure standards normally do not recognize information concerning “measured mineral resources”, “indicated mineral resources” or “inferred mineral resources” or other descriptions of the amount of mineralization in mineral deposits that do not constitute “reserves” by U.S. standards, in documents filed with the SEC. In addition, resources that are classified as “inferred mineral resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an “inferred mineral resource” will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimated “inferred mineral resources” may not generally form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an “inferred mineral resource” exists or is economically or legally mineable.

Disclosure of “contained ounces” in a resource is permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations, however, the SEC normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute “reserves” by SEC standards as in-place tonnage and grade without reference to unit measures.

Accordingly, information concerning mineral deposits set forth herein may not be comparable with information presented by companies using only U.S. standards in their public disclosure.

Also included in working capital, at June 30, 2011, were marketable securities with a market value of $2,250 (December 31, 2010 - $2,250).

During the six month period ended June 30, 2011, the Company received cash of $551,348 (2010 -$1,935,327) for stock issuances. At June 30, 2011, the Company had an aggregate 18,918,721 share purchase warrants exercisable, between $0.18 and $2.68 per share which have the potential upon exercise to convert to approximately $43,039,672 in cash over the next two years. Further, a total of 12,308,750 stock options exercisable between $0.10 and $2.15 have the potential upon exercise to generate a total of $1,956,488 in cash over the next five years. There is no assurance that these securities will be exercised.

The Company’s major capital requirements in the next 12 months relate mainly to the earning of its 50% joint venture interest in the Nyngan Project by delivering a feasibility study that will cost an estimated AU$583,000 to produce, and paying an additional $1,300,000 to Jervois within 5 days of delivering the feasibility study.

EMC is also obliged to repay a US$500,000 promissory note issued to the vendors of TTS in connection with the acquisition of TTS. These commitments total approximately $2,383,000 and it is expected that these commitments will be funded from available cash.

The Company will need additional funding to meet the commitments shown above and will seek to raise additional equity financing in the short term.

The Company’s continued development is contingent upon its ability to raise sufficient financing both in the short and long term. There are no guarantees that additional sources of funding will be available to the Company; however, management is committed to pursuing all possible sources of financing in order to execute its business plan. The Company continues its cost cutting measures to conserve cash to meet its operational obligations.

Outstanding share data

At the date of this report the Company has 150,678,713 issued and outstanding common shares, 12,318,750 outstanding stock options currently outstanding at a weighted average exercise price of $0.17, and 18,918,721 outstanding warrants at a weighted average exercise price of $2.28.

Off-balance sheet arrangements

At June 30, 2011, the Company had no material off-balance sheet arrangements such as guarantee contracts, contingent interest in assets transferred to an entity, derivative instruments obligations or any obligations that trigger financing, liquidity, market or credit risk to the Company.

Transactions with Related Parties

During the quarter, the Company paid or accrued consulting fees of $Nil (2010 - $46,175) to the former CEO of the Company and paid or accrued consulting fees of $48,032 (2010 - $Nil) to the current CEO and President of the Company.

The above transactions occurred in the normal course of operations and were measured at the exchange amount, which is the amount of consideration established and agreed to by the related parties. Amounts payable to related parties have no specific terms of repayment, are unsecured, and have no interest rate.

Proposed Transactions

There are no proposed transactions outstanding other than what has been disclosed.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting policies requires management of the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are based on past experience, industry trends and known commitments and events. By their nature, these estimates are subject to measurement uncertainty and the effects on the financial statements of changes in such estimates in future periods could be significant. Actual results will likely differ from those estimates.

Stock-based compensation

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the fair value of stock options and compensatory warrants granted. This model is subject to various assumptions. The assumptions the Company makes will likely change from time to time. At the time the fair value is determined; the methodology the Company uses is based on historical information, as well as anticipated future events. The assumptions with the greatest impact on fair value are those for estimated stock volatility and for the expected life of the instrument.

Future income taxes

The Company accounts for tax consequences of the differences in the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases using tax rates expected to apply when these temporary differences are expected to be settled. When the future realization of income tax assets does not meet the test of being more likely than not to occur, a valuation allowance in the amount of the potential future benefit is taken and no future income tax asset is recognized. The Company has taken a valuation allowance against all such potential tax assets.

Mineral properties and exploration and development costs

We capitalize the costs of acquiring mineral rights at the date of acquisition. After acquisition, various factors can affect the recoverability of the capitalized costs. Our recoverability evaluation of our mineral properties and equipment is based on market conditions for minerals, underlying mineral resources associated with the assets and future costs that may be required for ultimate realization through mining operations or by sale. We are in an industry that is exposed to a number of risks and uncertainties, including exploration risk, development risk, commodity price risk, operating risk, ownership and political risk, funding and currency risk, as well as environmental risk. Bearing these risks in mind, we have assumed recent world commodity prices will be achievable. We have considered the mineral resource reports by independent engineers on the Springer and Nyngan projects in considering the recoverability of the carrying costs of the mineral properties. All of these assumptions are potentially subject to change, out of our control, however such changes are not determinable. Accordingly, there is always the potential for a material adjustment to the value assigned to mineral properties and equipment.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2010-13, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718), amending ASC 718. ASU 2010-13 clarifies that a stock-based

payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which the entity’s equity securities trade should not be classified as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity. ASU 2010-13 also improves US GAAP by improving consistency in financial reporting by eliminating diversity in practice. ASU 2010-13 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010 (January 1, 2011 for the Company). The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2010-09, but does not expect its adoption to have a material impact on the Company’s financial reporting disclosures.

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-29, which contains updated accounting guidance to clarify the acquisition date that should be used for reporting pro forma financial information when comparative financial statements are issued. This update requires that a company should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. This update also requires disclosure of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments. The provisions of this update, which are to be applied prospectively, are effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. The impact of this update on the Company’s consolidated financial statements will depend on the size and nature of future business combinations.

Financial instruments and other risks

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, investments in trading securities, subscriptions receivable, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to related parties, and promissory notes payable. It is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from its financial instruments. The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values unless otherwise noted. The Company has its cash primarily in one commercial bank in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

Risk Factors

Prior to making an investment decision investors should consider the investment risks set out below and those described elsewhere in this document, which are in addition to the usual risks associated with an investment in a business at an early stage of development. The directors of the Company consider the risks set out below to be the most significant to potential investors in the Company, but are not all of the risks associated with an investment in securities of the Company. If any of these risks materialize into actual events or circumstances or other possible additional risks and uncertainties of which the Directors are currently unaware, or which they consider not to be material in relation to the Group's business, actually occur, the Group's assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations (including future results of operations), business and business prospects, are likely to be materially and adversely affected. In such circumstances, the price of the Company’s securities could decline and investors may lose all or part of their investment.

EMC Will Require Significant Amounts of Additional Capital in the Future

The Company has limited financial resources. The Company will continue to make substantial capital expenditures related to exploration, development and production. In particular the Company will have further capital requirements as it proceeds to expand its present exploration activities at its mineral projects, or to take advantage of opportunities for acquisitions, joint ventures or other business opportunities that may be presented to it.

In addition, the Company may incur major unanticipated liabilities or expenses. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain necessary financing in a timely manner on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.

Volatile demand for tungsten and other metals and the volatile prices for tungsten and other metals may make it difficult or impossible for the Company to obtain debt financing or equity financing on commercially acceptable terms or at all. Failure to obtain such additional financing could result in delay or indefinite postponement of further exploration and development of its tungsten and other mineral projects with the possible loss of the rights to such properties. If exploration or the development of any mine is delayed, such delay would have a material and adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operation.

Stage of Development

The Company’s properties are in the exploration stage and the Company does not have an operating history. Exploration and development of mineral resources involves a high degree of risk and few properties which are explored are ultimately developed into producing properties. The amounts attributed to the Company’s interest in its properties as reflected in its financial statements represent acquisition and exploration expenses and should not be taken to represent realizable value. There is no assurance that the Company’s exploration and development activities will result in any discoveries of commercial bodies of ore. The long-term profitability of the Company’s operations will be in part directly related to the cost and success of its exploration programs, which may be affected by a number of factors such as unusual or unexpected geological formations, and other conditions. As a result of the Company’s lack of operating history, it also faces many of the risks inherent in starting a new business.

Profitability of Operations

The Company is not currently operating profitably and it should be anticipated that it will operate at a loss at least until such time as production is achieved from one of the Company’s properties, if production is, in fact, ever achieved. The Company has never earned a profit. Investors also cannot expect to receive any dividends on their investment in the foreseeable future.

Tungsten and other mineral Industries Competition is Significant

The international tungsten and other mineral industries are highly competitive. The Company will be competing against competitors that may be larger and better capitalized, have state support, have access to more efficient technology, and have access to reserves of tungsten and other mineral that are cheaper to extract and process. As such, no assurance can be given that the Company will be able to compete successfully with its industry competitors.

Fluctuations in Metal Prices

Although the Company does not hold any known mineral reserves of any kind, its future revenues, if any, are expected to be in large part derived from the future mining and sale of tungsten and other metals or interests related thereto. The prices of these commodities have fluctuated widely, particularly in recent years, and are affected by numerous factors beyond the Company’s control including international economic and political conditions, expectations of inflation, international currency exchange rates, interest rates, global or regional consumption patterns, speculative activities, levels of supply and demand, increased production due to new mine developments and improved mining and production methods, availability and costs of metal substitutes, metal stock levels maintained by producers and others and inventory carrying costs. The effect of these factors on the prices of tungsten and other metals, and therefore the economic viability of the Company’s operations, cannot be accurately predicted.

Depending on the price obtained for any minerals produced, the Company may determine that it is impractical to commence or continue commercial production.

EMC Metals Corp.’s Operations are Subject to Operational Risks and Hazards Inherent in the Mining Industry

The Company’s business is subject to a number of inherent risks and hazards, including environmental pollution; accidents; industrial and transportation accidents, which may involve hazardous materials; labour disputes; power disruptions; catastrophic accidents; failure of plant and equipment to function correctly; the inability to obtain suitable or adequate equipment; fires; blockades or other acts of social activism; changes in the regulatory environment; impact of non-compliance with laws and regulations; natural phenomena, such as inclement weather conditions, underground floods, earthquakes, pit wall failures, ground movements, tailings, pipeline and dam failures and cave-ins; and encountering unusual or unexpected geological conditions and technical failure of mining methods.

There is no assurance that the foregoing risks and hazards will not result in damage to, or destruction of, the Company’s tungsten and other mineral properties, personal injury or death, environmental damage, delays in the Company’s exploration or development activities, costs, monetary losses and potential legal liability and adverse governmental action, all of which could have a material and adverse effect on the Company’s future cash flows, earnings, results of operations and financial condition.

Mineral Reserve and Resource Estimates are Only Estimates and May Not Reflect the Actual Deposits or the Economic Viability of Tungsten, Scandium and/or Gold Extraction

Reserve and resource figures included for tungsten and other minerals are estimates only and no assurances can be given that the estimated levels of tungsten and other minerals will actually be produced or that the Company will receive the tungsten and other metal prices assumed in determining its reserves. Such estimates are expressions of judgment based on knowledge, mining experience, analysis of drilling and exploration results and industry practices. Estimates made at any given time may significantly change when new information becomes available or when parameters that were used for such estimates change. While the Company believes that the reserve and resource estimates included are well established and reflect management's best estimates, by their nature reserve and resource estimates are imprecise and depend, to a certain extent, upon statistical inferences which may ultimately prove unreliable. Furthermore, market price fluctuations in tungsten and other metals, as well as increased capital or production costs or reduced recovery rates, may render ore reserves containing lower grades of mineralization uneconomic and may ultimately result in a restatement of reserves. The extent to which resources may ultimately be reclassified as proven or probable reserves is dependent upon the demonstration of their profitable recovery. The evaluation of reserves or resources is always influenced by economic and technological factors, which may change over time.

Exploration, Development and Operating Risk

The exploration for and development of tungsten and other mineral properties involves significant risks which even a combination of careful evaluation, experience and knowledge may not eliminate. While the discovery of an ore body may result in substantial rewards, few properties which are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. Major expenses may be required to locate and establish mineral reserves, to develop metallurgical processes and to construct mining and processing facilities at a particular site. Whether a mineral deposit will be commercially viable depends on a number of factors, some of which are: the particular attributes of the deposit, such as size, grade and proximity to infrastructure; metal prices, which are highly cyclical, drilling and other related costs which appear to be rising; and government regulations, including regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection. The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but the combination of these factors may result in the Company not receiving an adequate return on invested capital.

Currency Risk

The Company maintains accounts in Canadian and American currency. The Company’s equity financings are sourced in Canadian dollars but for the most part it incurs its expenditures in local currencies or in US dollars. The Company’s operations are subject to foreign currency fluctuations and such fluctuations may materially affect the Company’s financial position and results. The Company does not engage in currency hedging activities.

Environmental Risks and Hazards

All phases of the Company’s operations are subject to environmental regulation in the jurisdictions in which it operates. These regulations mandate, among other things, the maintenance of air and water quality standards and land reclamation. They also set forth limitations on the general, transportation, storage and disposal of solid and hazardous waste. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner which will require stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors and employees. There is no assurance that future changes in environmental regulation, if any, will not adversely affect the Company’s operations. Environmental hazards may exist on the properties which are unknown to the Company at present and which have been caused by previous or existing owners or operators of the properties. Reclamation costs are uncertain and planned expenditures estimated by management may differ from the actual expenditures required.

Government Regulation

The Company’s mineral exploration and planned development activities are subject to various laws governing prospecting, mining, development, production, taxes, labour standards and occupational health, mine safety, toxic substances, land use, water use, land claims of local people and other matters. Although the Company believes its exploration and development activities are currently carried out in accordance with all applicable rules and regulations, no assurance can be given that new rules and regulations will not be enacted or that existing rules and regulations will not be applied in a manner which could limit or curtail production or development.

Many of the mineral rights and interests of the Company are subject to government approvals, licenses and permits. Such approvals, licenses and permits are, as a practical matter, subject to the discretion of applicable governments or governmental officials. No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in maintaining any or all of the various approvals, licenses and permits in full force and effect without modification or revocation. To the extent such approvals are required and not obtained, the Company may be curtailed or prohibited from continuing or proceeding with planned exploration or development of mineral properties. Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions thereunder, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing operations to cease or be curtailed, and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment or remedial actions. Parties engaged in mining operations or in the exploration or development of mineral properties may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of the mining activities and may have civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed for violations or applicable laws or regulations.

Amendments to current laws and regulation governing operations or more stringent implementation thereof could have a substantial impact on the Company and cause increases in exploration expenses, capital expenditures or production costs or reduction in levels of production at producing properties or require abandonment or delays in development of new mining properties.

EMC has no History of Mineral Production or Mining Operations

The Company has never had tungsten and other mineral producing properties. There is no assurance that commercial quantities of tungsten and other minerals will be discovered at the Properties or other future

properties nor is there any assurance that the Company’s exploration program thereon will yield positive results. Even if commercial quantities of tungsten and other minerals are discovered, there can be no assurance that any property of the Company will ever be brought to a stage where tungsten and other mineral resources can profitably be produced therefrom. Factors which may limit the ability of the Company to produce tungsten and other mineral resources from its properties include, but are not limited to, the spot prices of tungsten and other metals, availability of additional capital and financing and the nature of any mineral deposits.

The Company does not have a history of mining operations and there is no assurance that it will produce revenue, operate profitably or provide a return on investment in the future.

Future Sales of Common Shares by Existing Shareholders

Sales of a large number of Common Shares in the public markets, or the potential for such sales, could decrease the trading price of the Common Shares and could impair the Company’s ability to raise capital through future sales of Common Shares. Substantially all of the Common Shares can be resold without material restriction in Canada.

No Assurance of Titles or Borders

The acquisition of the right to exploit mineral properties is a very detailed and time consuming process. There can be no guarantee that the Company has acquired title to any such surface or mineral rights or that such rights will be obtained in the future. To the extent they are obtained, titles to the Company’s surface or mineral properties may be challenged or impugned and title insurance is generally not available. The Company’s surface or mineral properties may be subject to prior unregistered agreements, transfers or claims and title may be affected by, among other things, undetected defects. Such third party claims could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s operations.

Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contain certain forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include but are not limited to those with respect to the prices of tungsten and other metals, the estimation of mineral resources and reserves, the realization of mineral reserve estimates, the timing and amount of estimated future production, costs of production, capital expenditures, costs and timing of the development of new deposits, success of exploration activities, permitting time lines, currency fluctuations, requirements for additional capital, Government regulation of mining operations, environmental risks, unanticipated reclamation expenses, title disputes or claims and limitations on insurance coverage and the timing and possible outcome of pending litigation. In certain cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “plans”, “expects” or “does not expect”, “is expected”, “budget”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “anticipates” or “does not anticipate”, or “believes” or variations of such words and phrases, or statements that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of EMC to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, among others, the actual results of current exploration activities, conclusions or economic evaluations, changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined, possible variations in grade and or recovery rates, failure of plant, equipment or processes to operate as anticipated, accidents, labour disputes or other risks of the mining industry, delays in obtaining government approvals or financing or incompletion of development or construction activities, risks relating to the integration of acquisitions, to international operations, and to the prices of tungsten and other metals. While EMC has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and

future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. EMC expressly disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

At the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2011, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision of and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act).

The Company took into consideration the following three characteristics common to companies of a similar size:

The limited number of personnel in smaller companies, which constrains the Company’s ability to fully segregate conflicting duties;
The Company relies on an active Board and management with open lines of communication to maintain the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures.
The dynamic and evolving nature of smaller companies, which limits their ability to have static processes that are well-documented.

In addition, management has relied upon certain informal procedures and communication, and upon “hands-on” knowledge of senior management to maintain the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures.

Based on that evaluation the CEO and the CFO have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that: (i) information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits to the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in applicable rules and forms and (ii) material information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow for accurate and timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the period covered by this report, there were no changes to internal control over financial reporting that materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
