Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
a.             Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and follow the same accounting policies and methods as our most recent annual financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in Canada for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2010.
 
For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2009.

c.
Significant Accounting Policies
 
Mineral exploration costs are expensed as incurred. Capitalization of evaluation expenditures commences when there is a high degree of confidence in the project’s viability and hence it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the Company.  Evaluation expenditures, other than that acquired from the purchase of another mining company, are carried forward as an asset provided that such costs are expected to be recouped in full through successful development and exploration of the area of interest or alternatively, by its sale. Evaluation expenditures include delineation drilling, metallurgical evaluations, and geotechnical evaluations amongst others.

Pan American Silver Corp.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
As at Sep.30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 and for the three month and nine month periods ended Sep.30, 2010 and 2009
 (Tabular amounts are in thousands of U.S. dollars except number of options and per share amounts)

 
When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves (which occurs upon completion of a positive economic analysis of the mineral deposit), the costs incurred to develop such property including costs to further delineate the ore body and remove overburden to initially expose the ore body prior to the start of mining operations, are also capitalized. Such costs are amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the ore body based on proven and probable reserves.
 
Costs associated with commissioning activities on constructed plants are deferred from the date of mechanical completion of the facilities until the date the Company is ready to commence commercial service. Any revenues earned during this period are recorded as a reduction in deferred commissioning costs. These costs are amortized using the units-of-production method over the life of the mine, commencing on the date of commercial service.
 
Significant payments related to the acquisition of land and mineral rights are capitalized as incurred. Prior to acquiring such land or mineral rights the Company makes a preliminary evaluation to determine that the property has significant potential to develop an economic ore body. The time between initial acquisition and full evaluation of a property’s potential is dependent on many factors including: location relative to existing infrastructure, the property’s stage of development, geological controls and metal prices. If a mineable ore body is discovered, such costs are amortized when production begins. If no mineable ore body is discovered, such costs are expensed in the period in which it is determined the property has no future economic value. In countries where the company has paid Value Added Tax (“VAT”) and where there is uncertainty of its recoverability, the VAT payments have either been deferred with mineral property costs relating to the property or expensed if it relates to mineral exploration. If the company ultimately makes recoveries of the VAT, the amount received will be applied to reduce mineral property costs or taken as a credit against current expenses depending on the prior treatment.
 
d.
Significant Changes in Accounting Standards
 
The Company continues to evaluate three new Handbook Sections the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (“CICA”) issued in December 2008: Section 1582, “Business Combinations”, Section 1601, “Consolidated Financial Statements”, and Section 1602, “Non-controlling Interests”.  These new standards are harmonized with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Section 1582 specifies a number of changes, including: an expanded definition of a business, a requirement to measure all business acquisitions at fair value, a requirement to measure non-controlling interests at fair value, and a requirement to recognize acquisition-related costs as expenses. Section 1601 establishes the standards for preparing consolidated financial statements. Section 1602 specifies that non-controlling interests be treated as a separate component of equity, not as a liability or other item outside of equity. The new standards will become effective on January 1, 2011 but early adoption is permitted.  The Company did not adopt these new standards but continues to evaluate the attributes of early adoption of these standards and their potential effects.
 
Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements: In December, 2009, the EIC issued EIC Abstract 175, “Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements”.  This EIC addresses how to determine whether an arrangement involving multiple deliverables contains more than one unit of accounting and how such a multiple deliverable revenue arrangement consideration should be measured and allocated to the separate units of accounting.  This EIC should be applied prospectively and should be applied to revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables entered into or materially modified in the first annual fiscal period beginning on or after January 1, 2011.  Early adoption is permitted.  The Company did not early adopt this EIC and upon adoption does not expect it to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Acquisitions of Mineral Interests
 
 
Aquiline Resource Inc. (Navidad Project, Chubut, Argentina)
 
During January 2010, Pan American completed the acquisition of a 100% interest in Aquiline Resources Inc. (“Aquiline”), a Canadian publicly traded company that controls the Navidad Project in Chubut, Argentina, a silver development project, as well as several other early stage development projects in Argentina and Peru. The acquisition was made on the basis of issuing 0.2495 of a Pan American common share, plus 0.1 of a Five Year Pan American Warrant (“Consideration Warrant”) for each Aquiline Share tendered. Each whole Consideration Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one Pan American common share at a price of $35.00 per Pan American common share for a period of five years after the date on which Pan American first paid for Aquiline Shares tendered, December 7, 2009. The acquisition was completed in three significant steps.  On December 7, 2009 the Company completed the acquisition of 84.5% of the outstanding shares of Aquiline and extended the offer to December 22, 2009 at which time the Company had taken up 93% of the outstanding shares of Aquiline.  Through a Compulsory Acquisition, on January 22, 2010, the Company acquired the remaining shares of Aquiline achieving 100% ownership.  The acquisition of Aquiline was accounted for as an asset acquisition.
 
The purchase price of the transaction totaled $588.6 million, comprised of approximately 19.6 million Pan American common shares, 7.9 million Consideration Warrants, 0.5 million Replacement Warrants, 0.5 million Replacement Options, 1.7 million common shares and 1.5 million warrants of Aquiline, respectively, held by Pan American prior to the offer and considered disposed of into the transaction, a replacement convertible debenture as discussed below and transaction costs of $8.4 million.
 
Pan American exchanged and replaced all outstanding options, warrants and the convertible debenture at an exchange ratio of 0.2495 and at strike prices equivalent to the original strike prices divided by 0.2495.
 
Pan American share values utilized for valuing the consideration of shares issued were closing prices on the actual dates of the Pan American shares being issued, with a range of prices used from $23.54 to $25.40 for the December 2009 acquisition dates and $24.57 to $24.96 during January.
 
Consideration warrants were valued using observable market pricing with a range of prices from $4.50 to $5.73 assigned to the consideration warrants issued on the issue dates.
 
Replacement warrants and options were valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.  Assumptions used were as follows:
 
       
Dividend yield
    0 %
Expected volatility
    52% - 63 %
Risk free interest rate

The Company issued a convertible debenture that allowed the holder to convert the debenture into either 363,854 Pan American shares or a Silver Stream contract related to certain production from the Navidad project.  The Company concluded that the most appropriate guidance regarding treatment of the replacement convertible debenture at the time of acquisition was provided under Canadian GAAP by making reference to the principles in EIC 70 – “Presentation of a Financial Instrument Labeled as a Share when a Future Event or Circumstance may affect the Issuer’s Obligations”.  In consideration of EIC-70 and the economic substance of the contract, it was concluded that a liability presentation was the most appropriate and best representation of the economics underlying the contract as of the date the Company assumed the obligation as part of the Aquiline acquisition.  Upon analysis of the relative fair values of the conversion options there was an extremely high probability that the holder of the option would convert to a Silver Stream (the fair value of the Silver Stream option was significantly higher than that of the equity option which was deeply “out-of-the-money”).
 
The purchase price allocation for 100% of Aquiline was calculated as follows:
 
Fair value of Pan American shares issued
  $ 495,643  
Fair value of Pan American consideration warrants issued
    36,824  
Fair value of Pan American replacement warrants issued
    8,106  
Fair value of Pan American replacement options issued
    1,027  
Fair value of Aquiline units tendered into the transaction
    17,771  
Fair value of replacement debenture issued
    20,788  
Transaction costs
    6,207  
Purchase Consideration
  $ 586,366  
         
The purchase price allocation is as follows:
 
       
Net working capital acquired (including cash of $4.3 million)
    (4,299 )
Mineral property, plant and equipment
    867,027  
Asset retirement obligation
    (1,235 )
Future income tax liability
    (275,127 )
    $ 586,366  

On February 25, 2010, subsequent to the acquisition transaction, the counterparty to the replacement debenture indicated its intention to elect the Silver Stream alternative.  The final contract for this alternative is being discussed and pending the final resolution to this alternative, the Company continues to classify the fair value calculated at the acquisition of this alternative as a liability.
 
The current version of the Silver Stream alternative allows the counterparty the right to purchase 12.5% of the payable silver produced from the Loma de La Plata zone of the Navidad project for the life of the zone, such right including the right to purchase a minimum of one million ounces of payable silver per year from the zone, or if unavailable, from other production on the Navidad Project, for a minimum of a 12.5 year period.  The silver under the Silver Stream contract will be purchased by the counterparty for the sum of: (a) an upfront payment of $50 million (the ‘‘Upfront Payment’’); and (b) the lesser of $4.00 per ounce of payable silver and the prevailing market price per ounce of payable silver on the London Metals Exchange.  The Upfront Payment shall be made by the counterparty as follows: (a) Cdn.$17.5 million represented by the purchase price of the convertible debenture, which has already been paid; (b) $14.9 million on the Maturity Date; and (c) $17.5 million to be paid in four equal installments over one year, payable starting three months after commencement of construction.  The Maturity Date is defined as the date that is the later of:  (a) the completion of a feasibility study on the Loma de La Plata zone; (b) the decision and public announcement by the Company to proceed with the construction of a mine; and (c) the receipt of all necessary permits to proceed with the construction of a mine.

Joint Venture with Orko Silver Inc. (La Preciosa Project, Durango, Mexico)
 
In April, 2009, Pan American and Orko Silver Corp. (‘‘Orko’’) entered into an agreement (the ‘‘Joint Venture Letter Agreement’’), pursuant to which Pan American and Orko agreed to form a joint venture (the ‘‘Joint Venture’’) to develop the La Preciosa silver project located in the State of Durango, Mexico (the ‘‘La Preciosa Project’’). Under the terms of the Joint Venture Letter Agreement, in order to retain its 55% interest in the Joint Venture: (a) the Company must, in addition to contributing its mine development expertise, spend a minimum of $5 million in the first 12 months from the date of the Joint Venture Letter Agreement (the condition was achieved as of the first quarter of this year) and conduct resource definition drilling, acquire necessary surface rights, obtain permits, and prepare a feasibility study over the following 24 month period; and (b) following a positive construction decision, the Company must contribute 100% of the funds necessary for practical completion of an operating mine.  In exchange for its 45% interest in the Joint Venture, Orko agreed to contribute its exploration expertise and the La Preciosa Project and related concessions.
 
The Company has assessed the operating company of the La Preciosa project to be a variable interest entity as contemplated under AcG-15 and as such it is consolidated in the financial statements of the Company.  Until such time as an economic analysis is completed and proven and probable reserves are established, costs incurred through the joint venture company will be expensed and no value has been attributed to the property contributed by the joint venture party. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, the exploration expense recognized arising from the Orko joint venture is $3.1 million and $7.6 million, respectively, and exploration spending since the start of the joint venture through to September 30, 2010 is $11.6 million.

Management of Capital
 
The Company’s objective when managing its capital is to maintain its ability to continue as a going concern while at the same time maximizing growth of its business and provide returns to its shareholders.  The Company’s capital structure consists of shareholders’ equity, comprising issued share capital, plus contributed surplus, plus retained earnings, plus accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).  Since October 2008, the Company has had a $70 million credit facility with a syndicate of international banks which has not been drawn.
 
The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements and the Company’s overall strategy with respect to capital risk management remains unchanged from the year ended December 31, 2009.
 
5.
Financial Instruments
 
Overview
 
The Company has exposure to risks of varying degrees of significance which could affect its ability to achieve its strategic objectives for growth and shareholder returns.  The principal financial risks to which the Company is exposed are metal price risk, credit risk, foreign exchange rate risk, and liquidity risk.  The Company’s Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company’s risk management framework and reviews the Company’s policies on an ongoing basis.
 
Metal Price Risk
 
Metal price risk is the risk that changes in metal prices will affect the Company’s income or the value of its related financial instruments.

Pan American Silver Corp.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
As at Sep.30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 and for the three month and nine month periods ended Sep.30, 2010 and 2009
 (Tabular amounts are in thousands of U.S. dollars except number of options and per share amounts)

 
The Company derives its revenue from the sale of silver, zinc, lead, copper, and gold.  The Company’s sales are directly dependent on metal prices that have shown extreme volatility and are beyond the Company’s control.
 
Consistent with the Company’s mission to provide equity investors with exposure to changes in silver prices, Company policy is not to hedge the price of silver.
 
The Company mitigates the price risk associated with its base metal production by committing some of its forecasted base metal production from time to time under forward sales and option contracts.  The Board of Directors continually assesses the Company’s strategy towards its base metal exposure, depending on market conditions. At September 30, 2010, the Company had 1,050 tonnes of zinc and 375 tonnes of lead under contract, respectively, with a negative mark to market valuation of $0.1 million which is presented in current liabilities.
 
Credit Risk
 
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meets its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company’s trade receivables.  The carrying value of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure.
 
The Company has long-term concentrate contracts to sell the zinc, lead and copper concentrates produced by the Quiruvilca, Huaron, Morococha, San Vicente and La Colorada mines.  Concentrate contracts are common business practice in the mining industry. At September 30, 2010 the Company had receivable balances associated with buyers of our concentrates of $43.4 million (December 31, 2009 - $54.0 million).  The vast majority of our concentrate is sold to three well known concentrate buyers.
 
Silver doré production from La Colorada, Alamo Dorado and Manantial Espejo is refined under long term agreements with fixed refining terms at five separate refineries worldwide.  The Company generally retains the risk and title to the precious metals throughout the process of refining and therefore is exposed to the risk that the refineries will not be able to perform in accordance with the refining contract and that the Company may not be able to fully recover precious metals in such circumstances.  At September 30, 2010, the Company had approximately $19.3 million (December 31, 2009 - $15.1 million) of value, at cost, contained in precious metal inventory at refineries.  The Company maintains insurance coverage against the loss of precious metals at our mine sites, in-transit to refineries and whilst at the refineries.
 
The Company maintains trading facilities with several banks and bullion dealers for the purposes of transacting the Company’s trading activities. None of these facilities are subject to margin arrangements.  The Company’s trading activities can expose us to the credit risk of our counterparties to the extent that our trading positions have a positive mark-to-market value.  However, the Company minimizes this risk by ensuring there is no excessive concentration of credit risk with any single counterparty, by active credit management, and monitoring.
 
Refined silver and gold is sold in the spot market to various bullion traders and banks.  Credit risk may arise from these activities if we are not paid for metal at the time it is delivered, as required by spot sale contracts.
 
Management constantly monitors and assesses the credit risk resulting from its refining arrangements, concentrate sales and commodity contracts with its refiners, trading counterparties and customers.  Furthermore, management carefully considers credit risk when allocating prospective sales and refining business to counterparties.  In making allocation decisions, Management attempts to avoid unacceptable concentration of credit risk to any single counterparty.
 
As at September 30, 2010, Doe Run Peru (“DRP”), one of the buyers of concentrates from the Company’s Peruvian operations, owed to the Company approximately $8.2 million for deliveries of concentrates that occurred in early 2009. The Company established a doubtful accounts receivable provision of $4.4 million of the amount receivable in the second quarter of 2009 and, in addition, reclassified the remaining receivable balance from current assets into long term assets on its consolidated balance sheet at that time which also resulted in a further $0.6 million charge related to the negative present value impact of the expected delay in the recovery of the DRP receivable.  On July 27, 2010, DRP failed to restart operations at its La Oroya smelter, as mandated by the Peruvian government.  Although the Company will continue to pursue every possible avenue to recover the amounts owed by DRP, the Company increased the doubtful accounts receivable provision for the remaining $3.2 million of the receivable during the second quarter of 2010.

 (Tabular amounts are in thousands of U.S. dollars except number of options and per share amounts)

 
Other than this receivable with DRP, at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company had no material past due trade receivables and the accounts receivable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets is presented with $ NIL provision for doubtful accounts (September 30, 2009 - $ NIL).
 
The Company invests its cash with the objective of maintaining safety of principal and providing adequate liquidity to meet all current payment obligations.
 
Foreign Exchange Rate Risk
 
The Company reports its financial statements in U.S. dollars (“USD”); however, the Company operates in jurisdictions that utilize other currencies.  As a consequence, the financial results of the Company’s operations as reported in USD are subject to changes in the value of the USD relative to local currencies.  Since the Company’s sales are denominated in USD and a portion of the Company’s operating costs and capital spending are in local currencies, the Company is negatively impacted by strengthening local currencies relative to the USD and positively impacted by the inverse.
 
In order to mitigate this exposure, from time to time the Company has purchased Peruvian New soles (“PEN”), Mexican pesos (“MXN”) and Canadian dollars (“CAD”) to match anticipated spending.  At September 30, 2010, the Company had no forward contracts to purchase foreign currencies but was holding $85.5 million in CAD in cash and short term investments.  The Company’s net income is also affected by the revaluation of its monetary assets and monetary liabilities at each balance sheet date.  The most significant monetary item affected by such movements in foreign currencies is the future income tax liability arising from the Aquiline acquisition with a September 30, 2010 balance of $263.8 million.  This liability reflects the difference between the tax values and the accounting book values of the assets purchased.  As this balance is deemed to be denominated primarily in Argentine pesos, the Company will be required to adjust this liability for any movements in the exchange rate of that currency against the USD.
 
Liquidity Risk
 
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they come due.  The Company manages its liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecasted and actual cash flows.  The Company has in place a rigorous planning and budgeting process to help determine the funds required to support the Company’s normal operating requirements on an ongoing basis and its expansion plans.  The Company strives to maintain sufficient liquidity to meet its short-term business requirements, taking into account its anticipated cash flows from operations, its holdings of cash and short-term investments, and its committed loan facilities.

In June 2008 the Company initiated a 4 year contractual retention plan for key officers and management, further discussed in Note 11. Contract commitments for the plan, payable in CAD, represent minimum payments expected to be paid out, presented above in USD at the period-end rate.
 
(2)
Amounts above do not include payments related to the Company’s anticipated asset retirement obligation.
 
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The carrying value of cash is at fair value, while accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to the relatively short periods to maturity and terms of these financial instruments.  The methodology and assessment of inputs for determining the fair value of financial assets and liabilities as well as the levels of hierarchy for the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value remains unchanged from that at December 31, 2009.
 
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument.  These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision.  Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

Mineral Property, Plant and Equipment
 
Acquisition costs of investment and non-producing properties together with costs directly related to mine development expenditures are capitalized.  Exploration expenditures on investment and non-producing properties are charged to operations in the period they are incurred.
 
Capitalization of evaluation expenditures commences when there is a high degree of confidence in the project’s viability and hence it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the Company.  Evaluation expenditures, other than that acquired from the purchase of another mining company, are carried forward as an asset provided that such costs are expected to be recouped in full through successful development and exploration of the area of interest or alternatively, by its sale.  Evaluation expenditures include delineation drilling, metallurgical evaluations, and geotechnical evaluations amongst others.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company capitalized $7.4 million and $19.5 million of evaluation costs at the Navidad Project in Argentina ($NIL million in three and nine months ended September 30, 2009).
 
Morococha mine, Peru
 
During the second quarter of 2010, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Compañia Minera Argentum S.A. (“Argentum”), reached an agreement with Minera Chinalco Perú (“MCP” or “Chinalco”), a subsidiary of the Aluminum Corporation of China which clearly defines each party’s long term surface rights in the area of the Morococha mine.  The primary focus of the agreement is on the lands and concessions around the Morococha mine and MCP’s Toromocho copper project. MCP requires certain lands and concessions in order to proceed with the development of Toromocho, including the surface lands within the planned open pit mining area of the Toromocho project.  While Argentum does not own this land, much of the Morococha mine infrastructure and facilities are located on this ground.

Share Capital and Stock Compensation Plan
 
The Company has a comprehensive stock compensation plan for its employees, directors and officers.  The plan provides for the issuance of common shares and stock options, as incentives.  The maximum number of Shares which may be issued pursuant to options granted or bonus Shares issued under the 2008 Plan may be equal to, but will not exceed 6,461,470 Shares.  The exercise price of each option shall be the weighted average trading price of the Company’s stock for the five days prior to the award date.  The options can be granted for a maximum term of 10 years with vesting provisions determined by the Company’s Board of Directors.  Any modifications to the stock Compensation Plan require shareholders’ approval.
 
The Board has developed long term incentive plan (“LTIP”) guidelines, which provides annual compensation to the senior managers of the Company based on the long term performance of both the Company and the individuals that participate in the plan.  The LTIP consists of an annual grant of options to senior management to buy shares of the Company and a grant of the Company’s common shares with a two year no trading legend.  The options are five year options which vest in three installments, one third on the first anniversary of the grant date and one third on each of the second and third anniversary dates of the award.  Options and common shares granted under the LTIP plan are based on employee salary levels, individual performance and their future potential.  The Compensation Committee oversees the LTIP on behalf of the Board of Directors.  The LTIP plan guidelines can be modified or suspended, at the discretion of the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors.

Long Term Incentive Plan
 
In January, 2010 the Company awarded 31,824 shares of common stock with a two year holding period and granted 281,921 options under this plan.  The Company used as its assumptions for calculating fair value a risk free interest rate of 2.0 per cent, weighted average volatility of 57 per cent, expected lives ranging from 1.5 to 3 years based on historical experience dividend yield of zero, and an exercise price of CAD $25.19 per share.  The weighted average fair value of each option was determined to be CAD $8.53.
 
During the three months ended September 30, 2010, 279,924 common shares were issued for proceeds of $3.1 million in connection with the exercise of options under the plan (September 30, 2009 – NIL).
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, 292,223 common shares were issued for proceeds of $3.4 million in connection with the exercise of options under the plan (September 30, 2009 – 32,000 and $0.4 million, respectively).
 
In February, 2010 the Company granted a further 156,712 options under the guidelines of this plan as a transactional award to certain employees arising from the Aquiline acquisition described in Note 3.  The Company used as its assumptions for calculating fair value a risk free interest rate of 1.5 per cent, weighted average volatility of 55 per cent, expected lives ranging from 1.5 to 3 years based on historical experience, dividend yield of zero, and an exercise price of CAD $22.23 per share.  The weighted average fair value of each option was determined to be CAD $8.04.  The options are unvested at the grant date and will vest only when a positive construction decision is made by the Board with regards to the Navidad project and only if that decision is made no later than 3 years from the grant date of the options.

Key Employee Long Term Contribution Plan
 
An additional element of the Company’s compensation structure is a retention program known as the Key Employee Long Term Contribution Plan (the “Contribution Plan”).  The Contribution Plan was approved by the directors of the Company on June 2, 2008 in response to a heated labour market situation in the mining sector, and is intended to reward certain key employees of the Company over a fixed time period for remaining with the Company.
 
The Contribution Plan is a four year plan with a percentage of the retention bonus payable at the end of each year of the program.  The Contribution Plan design consists of three bonus levels that are commensurate with various levels of responsibility, and provides for a specified annual payment for four years starting in June 2009.  Each year, the annual contribution award will be paid in the form of either cash or shares of the Company.  The minimum aggregate value that will be paid in cash or issued in shares over the 4 year period of the Plan is CAD $10.8 million with CAD $5.3 million remaining to be paid as of September 30, 2010 as described in Note 5.  Currently, it is planned that any such payments will be made by way of cash.  No shares will be issued from the treasury pursuant to the Contribution Plan without the prior approval of the plan by the shareholders of the Company and any applicable securities regulatory authorities.
