FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The net loss for the year ended October 31, 2010 increased to $16.4 million compared with a loss of $1.0 million for the year ended October 31, 2009. This increase in loss is due to increased exploration, development and corporate activity related to the transformation to a company with an advanced-stage gold exploration property. Proceeds received from the two completed financing transactions were partially offset by the purchase of the Morelos Gold Project and the incurrence of exploration, project development, corporate and equipment expenditures. As a result, the Company had $62.7 million of cash on hand at October 31, 2010 and a working capital balance of $61.9 million.
