FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

The net loss for the quarter ended January 31, 2011 increased to $6.1 million compared with a loss of $4.2 million for the quarter ended January 31, 2010. Exploration and project development expenditures totalled $4.4 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2011. No similar expenditures were incurred in 2010. This increase was partially offset due to a year-over-year decrease in stock-based compensation and an increase in the provision for future income tax recovery. The Company’s cash position decreased by $8.7 million during the quarter compared with an increase of $67.3 million in 2010. At January 31, 2011, the Company had $359.2 million in assets including $54.0 million of cash and had a working capital balance of $56.8 million.
