Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

The financial statements included herein have been prepared by Guinness Exploration, Inc. (“Guinness”, “We”, the “Registrant”, or the “Company”) in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted as allowed by such rules and regulations, and the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the May 31, 2011 audited financial statements and the accompanying notes included in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the Commission. While management believes the procedures followed in preparing these financial statements are reasonable, the accuracy of the amounts are in some respects dependent upon the facts that will exist, and procedures that will be followed by the Company later in the year. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. In management’s opinion all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial statements are reflected in the interim periods included, and are of a normal recurring nature. Amounts shown for May 31, 2011 are based upon the audited financial statements of that date.

Exploration Stage Activities

The Company has been in the exploration stage since its formation and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations. The Company was formed for the purposes of acquiring exploration and development stage mineral properties. The Company began exploration operations during fiscal 2010 in Yukon, Canada.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in understanding Guinness Exploration Inc.’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements, which are stated in U.S. Dollars.

The financial statements reflect the following significant accounting policies:

Exploration Stage Company

The Company is devoting substantially all of its present efforts to establish a new business and none of its planned principal operations have commenced. As an exploration stage enterprise, the Company discloses the deficit accumulated during the exploration stage and the cumulative statements of operations and cash flows from inception to the current balance sheet date.

Exploration Costs and Mineral Property Right Acquisitions

The Company is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties. Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred. Mineral property acquisition costs are initially capitalized when incurred. The Company assesses the carrying costs for impairment under Accounting Standards 930 Extractive Activities – Mining (AS 930) at each fiscal quarter end. An impairment is recognized when the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the mineral property. Impairment losses, if any, are measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the mineral property over its estimated fair value. Capitalized costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the proven and probable reserves. If mineral properties are subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs will be charged to operations.

Consolidation of Financial Statements

These financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary Nantawa Resources Inc., on a consolidated basis. All inter-company accounts have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share

Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, to include common stock equivalents.

At November 30, 2011, common stock equivalents outstanding included 2,500,000 common share purchase warrants. These warrants were issued as part of two unit offerings which completed on February 10, 2010 and May 10, 2010. These offerings were respectively comprised of 1,875,000 Units priced at US$0.80 per Unit; and 625,000 Units priced at US$0.80 per Unit. In each offering, each Unit consisted of one share of common stock of Guinness (each, a "Share"); and one common share purchase warrant (each a “Warrant”) subject to adjustment for stock splits, or stock dividends. Each whole Warrant is non-transferable and entitles the holder to purchase one common share of Guinness (each, a “Warrant Share”), as presently constituted, for a period of twenty four months beginning February 10, 2010 and May 10, 2010, respectively, at a price per Warrant Share of US$2.00. These Units were issued pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Regulation S”) and Guinness did not engage in any general solicitation or advertising regarding this Unit offering.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

On September 19, 2010, the Board approved option grants to Directors, Officers and staff totalling 4,450,000 Options for purchase of 4,450,000 common shares of the Company. These Options have terms of 10 years; exercise prices ranging between $0.33 to $0.363 per share; and all vest in two equal parts on May 31, 2011 and May 31, 2012; or fully in the event of a takeover offer or sale of a significant body of assets of the Company. At November 30, 2011, a total of 4,450,000 options to purchase 4,450,000 shares had been issued and 2,225,000 options to purchase 2,225,000 shares had vested under the Plan.

Diluted and basic loss per share are the same, as any inclusion of common stock equivalents would be anti-dilutive.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying value of accounts payable, and other financial instruments reflected in the financial statements approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of the instruments. It is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.

Income Taxes

The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns using the liability method. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted rates in effect in the years during which the differences are expected to reverse and upon the possible realization of net operating loss carry-forwards. Additionally, the Company has not recognized any amount for a tax position taken or expected to be taken on its tax return, or for any interest or penalties.

The Company’s accumulated net loss as of November 30, 2011 is $(2,31,160) and the related deferred tax asset of approximately $811,706 has been fully offset by a valuation allowance as the realization of this deferred tax asset is not likely.

Due to the change of control of the Company during the year ended May 31, 2011, under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, there may be limitations on the amount of Net Operating Loss carryforwards the Company will be able to use in the future. Some of the loss carryforwards may be unusable.

Valuation of Long-Lived Assets

The Company periodically analyzes its long-lived assets for potential impairment, assessing the appropriateness of lives and recoverability of un-depreciated balances through measurement of undiscounted operation cash flows on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Start-up Costs

The Company expenses the cost of start-up activities, including organizational costs, as those costs are incurred.

Foreign Currency

The books of the Company are maintained in United States dollars and this is the Company’s functional and reporting currency. Adjustments to translate the Company’s Canadian dollar cash account to the United States dollar are recorded in other comprehensive income. Transactions denominated in other than the United States dollar are translated as follows with the related transaction gains and losses being recorded in the Statements of Operations:

(i)

Monetary items are recorded at the rate of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date;

(ii)

Non-Monetary items including equity are recorded at the historical rate of exchange; and

(iii)

Revenues and expenses are recorded at the period average in which the transaction occurred.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers cash and cash equivalents to consist of cash on hand and demand deposits in banks with an initial maturity of 90 days or less.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

We do not expect the adoption of any recent accounting pronouncements to have a material effect on our financial statements.

Note 3 – Going Concern

Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America contemplate the continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company had a net loss for the six month period ended November 30, 2011, of $(34,832). Additionally it has accumulated operating losses since its inception and has limited business operations, which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The continuation of the Company is dependent upon the continuing financial support of investors and stockholders of the Company. As of November 30, 2011, we projected the Company would need additional cash resources to operate during the upcoming 12 months. The Company intends to attempt to acquire additional operating capital through private equity offerings to the public and existing investors to fund its business plan. However, there is no assurance that equity or debt offerings will be successful in raising sufficient funds to assure the eventual profitability of the Company. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.

Note 4 – Mineral Properties Agreements

Nantawa Agreement, as amended; and Nantawa Modification Agreement:

On October 12, 2010, the Company executed signed the 'Nantawa Modification Agreement' with Eagle Trail Properties Inc. ('ETPI'). The Nantawa Modification Agreement superseded the 'Nantawa Agreement' which had been which had been executed on November 19, 2009, and amended on February 4, 2010. Under the Nantawa Modification Agreement, Guinness received full vesting of a 49% interest in 128 full or fractional mineral claims/leases located in the Mount Nansen area of the Whitehorse Mining District of the Yukon Territory, Canada (the “Mineral Claims”). The other 51% interest in the Mineral Claims were retained by ETPI.

The original Nantawa Agreement had been comprised of 175 mineral claims/leases. These were split between two packages: (i) a set of 47 mineral claims/leases referenced as the 'Tawa Claims'; and (ii) a set of 128 claims/leases referenced as the 'Mount Nansen Claims'. Guinness had contracted to purchase all 175 claims/leases from ETPI for total consideration of US$1,005,668 (comprised of: US$943,868 cash, in two parts, plus 60,000,000 restricted common shares of Guinness valued at US$0.00103 per share for a total share value of $61,800).

During the period ended February 28, 2010, Guinness made payments of $471,934 and 60,000,000 restricted common shares to ETPI. A further cash payment of $471,934 was due by November 30, 2010 and during the period leading to this deadline, the Company projected it would not have the resources to fulfill the second payment on-time. Based on this, the Board determined it was in the best interests of the Company to negotiate revised purchase terms from ETPI for the Mineral Claims. To provide consideration to ETPI, the Company agreed to waive its rights under the Nantawa Agreement to the Tawa Claims, which had lapsed while in trust with ETPI. Under the revised agreement ETPI also agreed to have canceled 5,000,000 of the restricted common shares it had received under the Nantawa Agreement. The Nantawa Modification Agreement had the net effect of resolving the Tawa Claims matter between Guinness and ETPI and provided the Company an immediate vesting of a 49% interest in the remaining 128 claims/leases without requirement to make further payments to ETPI.

Due to the elimination by ETPI on October 12, 2010 of the requirement for a payment to ETPI of $471,934 by November 30, 2010, our financial statements for the year ended May 31, 2011 include an entry to eliminate this liability. A corresponding non-cash 'Gain on cancelation of debt' income item of $471,934 was also recorded. During that period ETPI also submitted to the Company, and the Company has cancelled, 5,000,000 of the 60,000,000 restricted common shares previously issued to ETPI under the Nantawa Agreement. This cancellation was recorded through a reduction in Paid in Capital of $5,000.

Ansell Agreement:

On March 4, 2011, the Company executed an option agreement (the “Ansell Agreement”) with Ansell Capital Corp. (“Ansell”), ETPI and two individuals (the “Additional Parties”) to provide funding for the Charlotte Project (formerly named the “Nantawa Project”) in the Mount Nansen area of the Whitehorse Mining Division, of the Yukon Territory, Canada.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Subject to the terms of the Ansell Agreement (incorporated herein by reference), Guinness, ETPI and the Additional Parties (collectively the “CSG Group”), agreed to grant Ansell an option to acquire up to an 85% undivided interest in the 128 mineral claims which form the Charlotte Project (formerly named the 'Nantawa Project') based on Ansell providing financing and expertise for development of the project. Under the Ansell Agreement, ETPI will hold the Charlotte Project claims (the “Properties”) in trust for all parties during the term of the Ansell Agreement. Upon Ansell earning an interest in the Properties, the parties have agreed to form a joint venture to further explore and develop the Properties, all upon and subject to the terms and conditions set out in the Ansell Agreement.

Ansell is now the Operator of the project and will bear all project expenditures going forward.

Note 5 – Note Payable

As referenced in Note 4, to confirm the cash payment requirements of the Nantawa Agreement we provided ETPI with a Promissory Note stating our indebtedness to ETPI in the amount of $943,868. On February 12, 2010 the Company paid to ETPI $471,934 and the second installment of $471,934 on the Note was waived by ETPI and no further amounts are owing to ETPI.

Note 6 – Impairments on Mineral Properties

On July 17, 2008, the Company determined it should abandon the mineral property asset which consisted of 100% ownership of a uranium mineral property staked in Saskatchewan, Canada. A related impairment loss of $15,985 is reflected in the attached statement of operations.

Per the terms of the Nantawa Agreement, the Company agreed to pay ETPI cash in the amount of $943,868 plus share payments with a deemed value of $61,800, for a total of $1,005,668. To account for this, $1,005,668 was recorded in the financial records of the Company as a mineral property asset. During the period ended May 31, 2010, the Company determined it did not have sufficient geological evidence to establish a reserves estimate and accordingly recorded an impairment loss on the mineral property asset of $1,005,668.

Note 7 – Common Stock

On February 7, 2006, the Company issued 39,000,000 shares of its common stock to its President for cash. This transaction was valued at a board approved value of $0.001 per share for total proceeds of $3,000.

During the fiscal year ending May 31, 2006, the Company issued 32,825,000 shares of its common stock in a private offering at $0.02 per share for total proceeds of $50,500.

On May 26, 2008, the Company declared a 12 for 1 stock dividend. The Record date and Payment date for this stock dividend were June 4, 2008 and June 6, 2008 respectively. The Company instructed its Transfer Agent to round up to one for any fractional interest which resulted in the calculation of the dividend. This dividend had the effect of increasing the issued and outstanding share capital of the Company from 5,525,000 shares to 71,825,000 shares. All references in these financial statements to stock issued and stock outstanding have been retroactively adjusted as if the stock dividend had taken place on July 15, 2005 (inception).

On November 30, 2009, the Company submitted to a vote of the Company's security holders a proposal to increase the authorized common shares limit of the Company from 75,000,000 to 500,000,000 and add authorization for issuance of up to 100,000,000 preferred shares, par value $0.001, for which the Board of Directors may fix and determine the designations, rights, preferences or other variation to each class or series within each class of preferred shares. Shareholder approval for this change was received November 26, 2009 and a Definitive 14C was filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on December 9, 2009.

On December 29, 2009 to fulfill one of the payment terms of the Nantawa Agreement, the Company issued 60,000,000 restricted shares of its common stock valued at $0.00103 per share to Eagle Trail Properties, Inc. representing aggregate proceeds of $61,800. These shares were issued pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and the Company did not engage in any general solicitation or advertising regarding these shares.

On February 10, 2010 Guinness completed a private placement which raised aggregate proceeds of $1,500,000 and was comprised a unit (‘Unit’) sale by Guinness of 1,875,000 Units priced at $0.80 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one common stock of Guinness (each, a "Share"); and one common share purchase warrant (each a “Warrant”) subject to adjustment for stock splits, or stock dividends. Each whole Warrant is non-transferable and entitles the holder to purchase one common share of Guinness (each, a “Warrant Share”), as presently constituted, for a period of twenty four months beginning February 10, 2010 at a price per Warrant Share of $2.00. These Units are being issued pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Regulation S”) and Guinness did not engage in any general solicitation or advertising regarding this Unit offering.

On May 10, 2010 Guinness completed a private placement which raised aggregate proceeds of $500,000 and was comprised a unit (‘Unit’) sale by Guinness of 625,000 Units priced at $0.80 per Unit.

Note 8 – Stock Options

On July 12, 2010, the board approved and adopted the Company’s 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), pursuant to which up to an aggregate of 10,000,000 options with a maximum exercise term of 10 years for 10,000,000 shares of the Corporation’s common stock are reserved for issuance to employees and non-employees, directors of, and consultants to the Company in connection with their retention and/or continued employment or provision of services to the Company. The Company uses the Fair Value Method to calculate compensation expenses related to its option grants.

On September 19, 2010, the Board approved option grants to Directors, Officers and staff totalling 4,450,000 Options for purchase of 4,450,000 common shares of the Company. These Options have terms of 10 years; exercise prices ranging between $0.33 to $0.363 per share; and all vest in two equal parts on May 31, 2011 and May 31, 2012; or fully in the event of a takeover offer or sale of a significant body of assets of the Company. Total compensation expense for these options grants has been calculated as $439,476 based on a valuation using a Black-Scholes option pricing model.

On May 31, 2011, 2,225,000 options vested under the Plan. This was recorded in these financial statements as an addition of $50,265 to Exploration Expenses and $169,473 to Professional Fees for the year ended May 31, 2011, for a total 2011 options grant compensation expense of $219,738.

The fair value of the options granted were calculated on the date of grant using a Black Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: (i) a risk-free interest rate of 0.16% (based on the US 90-day T-Bill rate on grant date); (ii) a dividend yield of zero (which is the projected dividend payment of the Company for the foreseeable future): (iii) a volatility factor of 26% (based on the 12 month standard deviation of Guinness' daily stock closing price); specific exercise prices, which ranged between $0.33 to $0.363 (such prices having been fixed based on the closing stock price on grant date); and an expected life of the options of ten years (which is equal to the term of the options and is the current assumed employment or contracted services tenure of all grantees). The fair value method requires the cost of options to be expensed over the period in which they vest, which in the case of these first option grants is in two equal parts, being one-half on May 31, 2011 and one-half on May 31, 2012. The fair value compensation cost arrived from these calculations has been credited to Additional Paid-In Capital on the Balance Sheet. In the event that the Board determines that any current grantees should be eliminated from the options plan due to events such as resignation or termination, future compensation cost adjustments will be made to reflect decreases in compensation costs related to any such events.

Mr. Alastair Brown, who is President and CEO of the Company and who classifies as a ‘10% shareholder’ for regulatory purposes, has received a grant of 2,000,000 options to purchase 2,000,000 common shares of Guinness at a price of $0.363 per share, with vesting of 1,000,000 options on May 31, 2011 and 1,000,000 options on May 31, 2012.

At November 30, 2011, a total of 4,450,000 options to purchase 4,450,000 shares had been issued. These options were comprised of: 1,500,000 ‘Incentive Stock Options’ issued to employees; 950,000 ‘Non-Qualified Stock Options’ issued to non-employee contractors; and 2,000,000 to Alastair Brown, who is not eligible for ‘Incentive Option status’ because he is a 10% shareholder of the Company.

Charlotte Project Assay Results

Assay results from the Charlotte Project 2011 and 2010 summer exploration programs have yielded promising data and are as follows:

2011 PROGRAM:

2011 Assays Set #2:

On November 8, 2011, Guinness' partner Ansell Capital Corp. (“Ansell”), 'TSX: ACP', received the second set of assays from the 2011 summer drilling program on the Charlotte Project in the Mount Nansen area of the Yukon Territory, Canada.

Highlighting the assay analysis by Ansell is their finding that:

"Drilling this year has intersected broad well-mineralized zones, enhancing the potential for a bulk mineable deposit to be hosted on the property."

The full press release issued by Ansell is as follows:

We are pleased to announce additional assay results from the summer 2011 drill program at the Charlotte gold project in the Tintina gold belt, Yukon. In addition, we are reporting silver analyses for the drill holes previously reported with gold only (September 6, 2011).

Complete assays have now been received for sixteen of the twenty-one diamond drill holes completed on the Flex and Orloff King Zones at the Charlotte property located in the prolific Tintina belt. This includes 2766 metres of the total 3654 metres drilled. Results of the remaining five holes are pending and will be reported when received. Four of the remaining five holes were drilled on the Flex Zone and are off-sets of existing holes and one was drilled on the Orloff-King Zone.

Previous historical drilling by other operators in the general area returned encouraging results such as drill holes DDH-10-243, which contained an intersection of 28.9 metres averaging 5.06 grams per tonne (g/t) gold and DDH-10-248, which contained 8.60 metres averaging 5.00 g/t gold.

Drilling this year has intersected broad well-mineralized zones, enhancing the potential for a bulk mineable deposit to be hosted on the property.

Table of Contents

Laboratory analyses were performed by Acme Laboratories, of Vancouver. Two analyses were received for one sample in DDH-11-257, and the average of the two has been used here. It should be noted that no cutting of high grade samples has been applied. At this time, the company has insufficient data to apply a cutting factor that is statistically relevant to this property.

Results are reported with down-hole widths. The Flex zone dips steeply to the west or southwest. With the holes being drilled perpendicular to the strike and with collar dips ranging from 50° to 65° from vertical, true widths will vary between 60% and 90% of down-hole widths. For the Orloff King zone, there has been insufficient drilling to determine the average dip and thus the true widths.

2011 Assays Set #1:

On September 6, 2011, Ansell Capital Corp. in its role as operator of the Charlotte Project, released the following drill results from the first nine holes of its Charlotte Project 2011 exploration program:

"Assays have been received for the first nine diamond drill holes, totalling 1492 metres, from the recently completed 20 hole drill program on the Flex Zone at the Charlotte property located in the prolific Tintina belt. Previous historical drilling by other operators in the general area returned encouraging results such as drill holes DDH-10-243, which contained an intersection of 28.9 metres averaging 5.06 grams per tonne (g/t) gold and DDH-10-248, which contained 8.60 metres averaging 5.00 g/t gold.

Drilling this year has intersected broad well-mineralized zones, enhancing the potential for a bulk mineable deposit to be hosted on the property.

Highlights include:

●	DDH-11-257	11.04 g/t Au over 23.05 m
●	DDH-11-254	3.38 g/t Au over 12.40 m
●	DDH-11-255	2.29 g/t Au over 18.45 m
●	DDH-11-259	3.00 g/t Au over 14.55 m

Intersection widths reported are downhole widths. A minimum of 0.2 g/t Au was applied to calculate the average grade of each section, with no included internal waste.

It should be noted that no cutting of high grade samples has been applied. At this time, Ansell has insufficient data to apply a cutting factor that is statistically relevant to this property.

Incomplete silver assays have also been received. Once full silver results are delivered and reviewed, a further release will be made. At that time it is anticipated that a thorough geological analysis of these results will also be reported.

2010 PROGRAM:

2010 Assays Set #1:

During its summer 2010 drill program at its Charlotte Project near Mt. Nansen in the Yukon Territory, Canada, core drilling was conducted to confirm prior drill intercepts and to expand on known gold and silver mineralization along strike and down dip. The Company completed a total of 1,451.68 metres in fourteen diamond drill holes in the Flex zone, one of five known mineralized zones on the property.

The drill holes were chosen specifically to test a 450m strike length of the Flex Zone at various depths. The holes tested gold and silver grades and thicknesses to confirm previously drilled holes (to view a map of the property, drill hole locations and other information, visit www.guinnessexploration.com).

New holes confirmed and previous holes as set out below:

Table of Contents

The Flex Zone occurs as two sub-parallel anastamosing quartz-sulfide vein systems, known historically as the “Hanging Wall” and “Footwall” veins. Veins host strong gold and silver mineralization associated primarily with pyrite and lesser arsenopyrite, stibnite, galena and sphalerite. Veins often exhibit propylitic, phyillic, argillic and silicic alteration in broad alteration envelopes.

The Flex Zone is hosted in an assemblage of metamorphic rocks comprised dominantly of quartz-feldspar+/-chlorite gneiss which grades locally into quartzite. Dark green amphbolite gneiss, comprised of equal parts plagioclase and actinolite, is commonly intercalated with the quartz-feldspar gneiss. These older rocks are cut by narrow quartz-feldspar dykes and sills. The north end of the Flex Zone, in the vicinity of 10-240 and 241, is underlain by a quartz-feldspar porphyry stock at depth.

Guinness management is extremely pleased with these initial results. Consulting geologist John Hiner commented, “We are well pleased with the level of gold and silver values, and the values match well with previous results. Although these intersections are not true widths, we have confirmed the mineralized zones in all five holes, and have increased mineralized thicknesses in three of the five holes reported to date. These zones are substantially wider than has been reported previously, and we believe we have now demonstrated that there is an excellent opportunity to define a bulk-mineable deposit at this project.”

2010 Assays Set #2:

The Company reported on the final eight holes completed during its 2010 drill program at the Company’s Charlotte Project near Mt. Nansen in the Yukon Territory, Canada. As reported in the news release dated October 18, 2010, core drilling was conducted to confirm prior drill intercepts and to expand on known gold and silver mineralization along strike and downdip. The Company completed a total of 1,451.68 metres in fourteen diamond drill holes in the Flex zone, one of five known mineralized zones on the property.

Core holes DDH-10-246 through DDH-10-253 were drilled as twins of previous holes or infills along strike. Holes 246 and 247 were planned to confirm previously encountered mineralization at the southeast end of the Flex Zone. The other holes were drilled to test for extensions of gold and silver mineralization downdip from known mineralization. The holes are described in more detail as follows:

DDH-10-246 was drilled to confirm the southeast extension of the Flex Zone. However due to poor hole conditions, the hole was abandoned before intersecting the target mineralized zone.

DDH-10-247 was a 35 metre step out to the northwest of the prior hole, and was planned as an infill hole on the Flex Zone. This hole also had to be abandoned due to poor ground conditions prior to reaching the mineralized zone.

DDH-10-248 was drilled from the same drill pad as hole DDH-10-240, which was a twin of hole 98-193. This hole was steepened to pierce the mineralized zone 75 metres downdip from the surface and 25 metres below hole 98-193.

DDH-10-249 was located to test a 25 metre downdip extension of mineralization encountered in historic hole 98-192.

DDH-10-250 was located at the same location as DDH-10-249, but steepened to test mineralization 75 metres downdip from the surface and 25 metres below hole 98-192.

DDH-10-251 was drilled at the same location as historic hole 98-195, but steepened to test the mineralization at 75 metres depth.

Table of Contents

DDH-10-252 was drilled at the same site as historic hole 98-196, but steepened to test the mineralized zone at 75 metres depth.

DDH-10-253 was located 50 metres west of DDH-10-240 and DDH-10-248 to test gold and silver mineralization at 125 metres depth.

Gold and silver assays for the holes are tabulated below:

2010 Assays Set #3:

The Company reported on the assay results from trenching numerous mineralized zones at the Company’s Charlotte Project, Yukon Territory, Canada. Trenches were cut at the Huestis, Webber, Cabin, Orloff-King, Dickson, and GRW zones. Trench results confirm or extend known mineralization at the Huestis and Webber zones. Trenches at the Cabin, Orloff-King, and GRW zones have successfully delineated new zones of gold and silver mineralization that is open to depth and along strike. In particular, trenching at the GRW zone identified gold and silver in structural settings similar to the Flex zone (although of lower grade), which was drilled earlier in 2010 and additionally disclosed the presence of copper in intrusive rocks that were identified in the GRW trenches. Selected trench results are presented in the table below:

Table of Contents

Zone	Trench #	From	To	Width	Au (g/t)	Ag (g/t)
Orloff King	OK10-1	45.5	49.2	3.7	1.50	40.3
Orloff King	OK10-2	47.8	50.7	2.9	2.12	Na
Orloff King	OK10-5	11.4	12.1	0.7	7.05	34.7

Cabin	CAB10-1	40.1	43	2.9	1.353	15.7
Webber	WEB10-2	21.0	23.4	2.2	1.43	4.03

Virtually all of the trenches contained zones of anomalous gold and silver, ranging from 0.2 grams/tonne (‘g/t’) up to the level of results presented above. At Orloff King, Cabin, Webber, and GRW zones, the mineralized trends can be tracked from trench to trench. Work on trace element geochemistry continues, but early analysis suggests the presence of geochemical zonation that may be attributed to the presence of porphyry copper-gold mineralization in the vicinity of the GRW zone.

Trenching totalled 2,243 metres in 20 trenches. Of these, 16 trenches totalling 1,917 metres bottomed in bedrock while the remaining four trenches bottomed in permafrost and may be completed in following seasons. Ten trenches totalling 1,100 metres were cut on the Orloff-King Zone, of which 9 trenches totalling 1,052 metres reached bedrock. A total of five trenches, combined for 665 metres, were cut on the GRW zone and, of these, three bottomed in bedrock for a total of 466 metres completed to bedrock. The remaining five trenches were cut on the Webber, Huestis, and Cabin zones, and on geochemical anomalies scattered across the property. All but one of these five trenches reached bedrock for a total of 400 metres of trenching completed to bedrock. A total of 554 unique samples were collected from trenches and submitted for assay.

Accessibility, Climate, Local Resources, Infrastructure and Physiography

The Charlotte Project is located approximately 180 km northwest of Whitehorse and 60 km west of the Village of Carmacks in the Yukon Territory. This property is accessible from Whitehorse via the Klondike highway to the town of Carmacks and then via an all weather gravel road. Carmacks is 170 km north of Whitehorse. Whitehorse is connected to Vancouver, Edmonton, and Calgary by air service. The Charlotte Project is facilitated with an extensive network of gravel and dirt roads (Figure 1).

The Charlotte Project lies northwest of the maximum advance of the Wisconsin ice sheet, and, consequently, are not affected by the Pleistocene continental glaciations (Figure 2; Eaton and Archer, 1989). This resulted in deep weathering in the properties reaching to depths of over 70 m from the topographic surface (Denholm et al, 2000; Roder, 1996). In mineralized zones, sulphides are commonly altered into limonite and other oxides (Denholm et al, 2000; Melling, 1995; Roder, 1996). The topography in the two properties is hilly with rounded ridges and shallow valleys. Local elevation ranges from 1030 m to 1560 m (Melling, 1995; Rodger, 1996).

Permafrost is widespread in the area and varies according to the amount of vegetation and slope facing direction (Stroshein, 2007b). In the north-facing slopes, permafrost is frozen all year around and in the south-facing slopes permafrost thaw to a depth of 1-2 m in the summer (Eaton and Archer, 1989; Roder, 1996).

The average precipitation in the Charlotte Project is approximately 25 cm, most of which falls as rain in the summer months (Stroshein, 2007b). Snow fall is normally 30-40 cm deep in late winter. The average monthly temperature ranges from -25oC in January to 15oC in July (Stroshein, 2007b).

Table of Contents

The Charlotte Project is situated in the traditional Territory of the Little Salmon/Carmacks First Nation (Stroshein, 2007b). At the mine site, there is no infrastructure other than the mine plant and buildings. The village of Carmacks has been established since 1893 and has provided fuel for river steamboats, a roadhouse on the Whitehorse to Dawson stage run, and an area service center (Campbell, 1994). In the Village of Carmacks, there reside approximately 500 people. The village is also the main and administrative center of the Little Salmon Traditional Lands.

Results of Operations for the three and six month periods ended November 30, 2011 and November 30, 2010 and the Exploration Stage Period from July 15, 2005 to November 30, 2011

Our operating results for the three and six month periods ended November 30, 2011 and November 30, 2010 and the Exploration Stage Period of July 15, 2005 to November 30, 2011 (the ‘Exploration Stage’) are summarized as follows:

	Three months ended November 30, 2011			Three months ended November 30, 2010			Six months ended November 30, 2011			Six months ended November 30, 2010			Exploration Stage

Revenues

We have not earned any revenues since our inception and we do not anticipate earning revenues in the near future.

Expenses

Exploration Costs

Exploration costs were $2,250 and $4,500 versus $314,526 and $800,084 respectively for the three and six month periods ended November 30, 2011 and November 30, 2010. Exploration expenses for the Exploration Stage totaled $1,032,262. During the current period exploration expenses related to fees paid for geological consulting services. The substantial decrease in exploration expenses between both the comparative three month period and comparative six months periods was due to the Company's partner Ansell Capital assuming on the ground responsibility for exploration operations at the Charlotte Project. We expect exploration expenses to decrease during the next twelve months.

Professional Fees

Profession fees were $9,403 and $19,794 versus $33,303 and $82,747 respectively for the three and six month periods ended November 30, 2011 and November 30, 2010. Professional fees for the Exploration Stage totaled $536,916. During the current period, professional fees included fees paid to our CEO and expenses for legal, auditor and accounting fees. The significant decrease in professional fees between both the comparative three month period and comparative six months periods was due to lower costs for geological consultants and management fees due to the Company's partner Ansell Capital assuming responsibility for exploration operations at the Charlotte Project. In the next twelve months, we project professional fees will remain at current levels.

Administrative Expenses

Administrative expenses were $6,330 and $8,733 versus $22,318 and $57,801 respectively for the three and six month periods ended November 30, 2011 and November 30, 2010. During the Exploration Stage Period administrative expenses totaled $79,758. During the current period administrative fees were primarily composed of office expenses, bank charges and filing fees related to our SEC filings. The decrease in administrative

expenses between both the comparative three month period and comparative six months periods was due to lower corporate administration and travel costs due to the Company's partner Ansell Capital assuming responsibility for exploration operations at the Charlotte Project. We expect administrative fees to remain at current levels during the next twelve months.

Investor Relations

Investor Relations expenses comprise costs for press releases, maintenance of the Company’s website and other investor information initiatives. During the three and six month periods ended November 30, 2011 and November 30, 2010, these expenses totaled $985 and $1,805 versus $28,359 and $49,212, respectively. For the Exploration Stage Period, Investor Relations expenses totaled $112,468. The decrease investor relations costs between both the comparative three month period and comparative six months periods was due to the Company's partner Ansell Capital assuming responsibility for a majority of investor relations initiatives relating to the project. We anticipate Investor Relations expenses will remain at current levels during the next twelve months.

Impairment Losses on Mineral Properties

During the three and six month periods ended November 30, 2011 and November 30, 2010, impairment losses on mineral properties were $nil and $nil, respectively. Total impairment loss for the Exploration Stage Period of $1,021,653.

Net Loss

We incurred net losses of $(18,968) and $(34,832) versus $(398,506) and $(517,910) for the three and six months ended November 30, 2011 and November 30, 2010, respectively. The comparative decrease of our net loss during the period ended November 30, 2011 was due to the assumption of financial responsibility by Ansell Capital for exploration operations at the Charlotte Project.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our financial position as at November 30, 2011 and May 31, 2011, is as follows:

Net Working Capital

	As at November 30, 2011		As at May 31, 2011

Current Assets	$	20,998	$	57,501
Current Liabilities		195		935
Net Working Capital		20,803		56,566

Our net working capital decreased from $56,566 at May 31, 2011 to $20,803 at November 30, 2011 due to general operating expenditures.

Since the date of our incorporation to November 30, 2011, we have raised $2,053,500 though private placements of our common shares. As of November 30, 2011 we had cash on hand of $8,351 and prepaid expenses balance of $12,647.

Material Events and Uncertainties

Our operating results are difficult to forecast. Our prospects should be evaluated in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties commonly encountered by comparable early stage companies in mineral resource markets. There can be no assurance that we will successfully address such risks, expenses and difficulties and cannot assure you that we will become profitable in the future.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

EXCHANGE RATE FLUCTUATION RISK

Our reporting currency is United States Dollars (“USD”). Our transactions are primarily conducted in USD but also include transactions in other currencies most particularly the Canadian dollar. Foreign currency rate fluctuations may have a material impact on the Company’s financial reporting. These fluctuations may have positive or negative impacts on the results of operations of the Company.

We have not entered into derivative contracts either to hedge existing risk or for speculative purposes.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company's Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based closely on the definition of "disclosure controls and procedures" in Rule 13a-15(e). The Company's disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide a reasonable level of assurance of reaching the Company's desired disclosure control objectives. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable

Table of Contents

assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. The Company's certifying officer has concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are not effective in reaching that level of assurance.

As the end of the period being reported upon, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and the Company's Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Section 13a-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company's CFO to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company's financial statements for external reporting purposes in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and include those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and disposition of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

As of November 30, 2011, management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on the framework established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on the criteria established by COSO management concluded that the Company's internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of November 30, 2011, as a result of the identification of the material weaknesses described below.

A material weakness is a deficiency or combination of deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Specifically, management identified the following control deficiencies. (1) The Company has not properly segregated duties as one or two individuals initiate, authorize, and complete all transactions. The Company has not implemented measures that would prevent the individuals from overriding the internal control system. The Company does not believe that this control deficiency has resulted in deficient financial reporting because the Chief Financial Officer is aware of his responsibilities under the SEC's reporting requirements and personally certifies the financial reports. (2) The Company has installed accounting software that does not prevent erroneous or unauthorized changes to previous reporting periods and does not provide an adequate audit trail of entries made in the accounting software.

Accordingly, while the Company has identified certain material weaknesses in its system of internal control over financial reporting, it believes that it has taken reasonable steps to ascertain that the financial information contained in this report is in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Management has determined that current resources would be appropriately applied elsewhere and when resources permit, they will alleviate material weaknesses through various steps.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

There is no litigation pending or threatened by or against us.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

The following risk factors should be considered in connection with an evaluation of our business:

THE COMPANY'S LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR YOU TO JUDGE ITS PROSPECTS.

The Company has a limited operating history upon which an evaluation of the Company, its current business and its prospects can be based. You should consider any purchase of the Company's shares in light of the risks, expenses and problems frequently encountered by all companies in the early stages of its corporate development.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES ARE UNCERTAIN.

For the six months ended November 30, 2011, the Company had a Net Loss of $(34,832). The Company may need to raise additional capital by way of an offering of equity securities, an offering of debt securities, or by obtaining financing through a bank or other entity. The Company has not established a limit as to the amount of debt it may incur nor has it adopted a ratio of its equity to debt allowance. If the Company needs to obtain additional financing, there is no assurance that financing will be available from any source, that it will be available on terms acceptable to us, or that any future offering of securities will be successful. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, there may be a significant dilution in the value of the Company’s outstanding common stock. The Company could suffer adverse consequences if it is unable to obtain additional capital which would cast substantial doubt on its ability to continue its operations and growth.

THE VALUE AND TRANSFERABILITY OF THE COMPANY'S SHARES MAY BE ADVERSELY IMPACTED BY THE LIMITED TRADING MARKET FOR ITS SHARES AND THE PENNY STOCK RULES.

There is only a limited trading market for the Company's shares. The Company's common stock is traded in the over-the-counter market and "bid" and "asked" quotations regularly appear on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol "GNXP". There can be no assurance that the Company's common stock will trade at prices at or above its present level and an inactive or illiquid trading market may have an adverse impact on the market price. In addition, holders of the Company's common stock may experience substantial difficulty in selling their securities as a result of the "penny stock rules" which restrict the ability of brokers to sell certain securities of companies whose assets or revenues fall below the thresholds established by those rules.

FUTURE SALES OF SHARES MAY ADVERSELY IMPACT THE VALUE OF THE COMPANY'S STOCK.

If required, the Company may seek to raise additional capital through the sale of common stock. Future sales of shares by the Company or its stockholders could cause the market price of its common stock to decline.

MINERAL EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES ARE SPECULATIVE IN NATURE.

Resource exploration and development is a speculative business, characterized by a number of significant risks including, among other things, unprofitable efforts resulting not only from the failure to discover mineral deposits but from finding mineral deposits which, though present, are insufficient in quantity and quality to return a profit from production. The marketability of minerals acquired or discovered by the Company may be affected by numerous factors which are beyond the control of the Company and which cannot be accurately predicted, such as market fluctuations, the proximity and capacity of milling facilities, mineral markets and processing equipment and such other factors as government regulations, including regulations relating to royalties, allowable production, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection, the combination of which factors may result in the Company not receiving an adequate return of investment capital.

Substantial expenditures are required to establish ore reserves through drilling, to develop metallurgical processes to extract the metal from the ore and, in the case of new properties, to develop the mining and processing facilities and infrastructure at any site chosen for mining. Although substantial benefits may be derived from the discovery of a major mineralized deposit, no assurance can be given that minerals will be discovered in sufficient quantities and grades to justify commercial operations or that funds required for development can be obtained on a timely basis. Estimates of reserves, mineral deposits and production costs can also be affected by such factors as environmental permitting regulations and requirements, weather, environmental factors, unforeseen technical difficulties, unusual or unexpected geological formations and work interruptions. In addition, the grade of ore ultimately mined may differ from that indicated by drilling results. Short term factors relating to reserves, such as the need for orderly development of ore bodies or the processing of new or different grades, may also have an adverse effect on mining operations and on the results of operations. Material changes in ore reserves, grades, stripping ratios or recovery rates may affect the economic viability of any project.

THE COMPANY WILL BE SUBJECT TO OPERATING HAZARDS AND RISKS WHICH MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT THE COMPANY'S FINANCIAL CONDITION.

Mineral exploration involves many risks, which even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome. The Company's operations will be subject to all the hazards and risks normally incidental to exploration, development and production of metals, such as unusual or unexpected formations, cave-ins or pollution, all of which could result in work stoppages, damage to property and possible environmental damage. The Company does not have general liability insurance covering its operations and does not presently intend to obtain liability insurance as to such hazards and liabilities. Payment of any liabilities as a result could have a materially adverse effect upon the Company's financial condition

THE COMPANY'S ACTIVITIES WILL BE SUBJECT TO ENVIRONMENTAL AND OTHER INDUSTRY REGULATIONS WHICH COULD HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON THE FINANCIAL CONDITION OF THE COMPANY.

The Company's activities are subject to environmental regulations promulgated by government agencies from time to time. Environmental legislation generally provides for restrictions and prohibitions on spills, releases or emissions of various substances produced in association with certain mining industry operations, such as seepage from tailing disposal areas, which would result in environmental pollution. A breach of such legislation may result in imposition of fines and penalties. In addition, certain types of operations require the submission and approval of environmental impact assessments.

stringent. Environmental assessments of proposed projects carry a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and directors, officers and employees. The cost of compliance with changes in governmental regulations could have an adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company.

The operations of the Company include exploration and development activities and commencement of production on its properties, require permits from various federal, state, provincial and local governmental authorities and such operations are and will be governed by laws and regulations governing prospecting, development, mining, production, exports, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, land use, environmental protection, mine safety and other matters. Companies engaged in the development and operation of mines and related facilities generally experience increased costs and delays in production and other schedules as a result of the need to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permits.

Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations, and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions, 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 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 of applicable laws or regulations and, in particular, environmental laws.

COMPETITION MAY HAVE AN IMPACT ON THE COMPANY'S ABILITY TO ACQUIRE ATTRACTIVE PRECIOUS METALS PROPERTIES, WHICH MAY HAVE AN ADVERSE IMPACT ON THE COMPANY'S OPERATIONS.

Significant and increasing competition exists for the limited number of precious metals acquisition opportunities available. As a result of this competition, some of which is with large established mining companies with substantial capabilities and greater financial and technical resources than the Company, the Company may be unable to acquire attractive precious metals properties on terms it considers acceptable. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that any exploration program intended by the Company on properties it intends to acquire will yield any reserves or result in any commercial mining operation.

DOWNWARD FLUCTUATIONS IN METAL PRICES MAY SEVERELY REDUCE THE VALUE OF THE COMPANY.

The Company has no control over the fluctuations in the prices of the metals for which it is exploring. A significant decline in such prices would severely reduce the value of the Company.

THE COMPANY CURRENTLY RELIES ON CERTAIN KEY INDIVIDUALS AND THE LOSS OF ONE OF THESE CERTAIN KEY INDIVIDUALS COULD HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON THE COMPANY.

The Company's success depends to a certain degree upon certain key members of the management. These individuals are a significant factor in the Company's growth and success. The loss of the service of members of the management and advisory board could have a material adverse effect on the Company. In particular, the success of the Company is highly dependent upon the efforts of the President & CEO, CFO, PAO, Treasurer & Secretary, Chair & Director of the Company, the loss of whose services would have a material adverse effect on the success and development of the Company.

THE COMPANY DOES NOT MAINTAIN KEY MAN INSURANCE TO COMPENSATE THE COMPANY FOR THE LOSS OF CERTAIN KEY INDIVIDUALS.

The Company does not anticipate having key man insurance in place in respect of its senior officers or personnel, although the Board has discussed and investigated the prospect of obtaining key man insurance for our CEO.

WE ARE AN EXPLORATION STAGE COMPANY, AND THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT A COMMERCIALLY VIABLE DEPOSIT OR "RESERVE" EXISTS ON ANY PROPERTIES FOR WHICH THE COMPANY HAS, OR MIGHT OBTAIN, AN INTEREST.

The Company is an exploration stage company and cannot give assurance that a commercially viable deposit, or “reserve,” exists on any properties for which the Company currently has (through an option) or may have (through potential future joint venture agreements or acquisitions) an interest. Therefore, determination of the existence of a reserve depends on appropriate and sufficient exploration work and the evaluation of legal, economic, and environmental factors. If the Company fails to find a commercially viable deposit on any of its properties, its financial condition and results of operations will be materially adversely affected.

WE REQUIRE SUBSTANTIAL FUNDS MERELY TO DETERMINE WHETHER COMMERCIAL PRECIOUS METAL DEPOSITS EXIST ON OUR PROPERTIES.

Any potential development and production of the Company’s exploration properties depends upon the results of exploration programs and/or feasibility studies and the recommendations of duly qualified engineers and geologists. Such programs require substantial additional funds. Any decision to further expand the Company’s operations on these exploration properties is anticipated to involve consideration and evaluation of several significant factors including, but not limited to:

Costs of bringing each property into production, including exploration work, preparation of production feasibility studies, and construction of production facilities;

Availability and costs of financing;

Ongoing costs of production;

Market prices for the precious metals to be produced;

Environmental compliance regulations and restraints; and

Political climate and/or governmental regulation and control.

GENERAL MINING RISKS

Factors beyond our control may affect the marketability of any substances discovered from any resource properties the Company may acquire. Metal prices, in particular gold and silver prices, have fluctuated widely in recent years. Government regulations relating to price, royalties, and allowable production and importing and exporting of precious metals can adversely affect the Company. There can be no certainty that the Company will be able to obtain all necessary licenses and permits that may be required to carry out exploration, development and operations on any projects it may acquire and environmental concerns about mining in general continue to be a significant challenge for all mining companies.
