1 | Nature of operations | |
Western Silver Corporation (the Company) is an exploration stage company that is incorporated under the British Columbia Business Corporations Act and is engaged directly, and through joint ventures and subsidiaries, in exploring the future development of mineral properties in Mexico and Canada. The recoverability of the amounts shown for mineral property assets is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, securing and maintaining title and beneficial interest in the properties, and the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to continue the exploration and future development of its mining properties, or realizing the carrying amount through a sale. | ||
2 | Significant accounting policies | |
Principles of consolidation | ||
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Western Silver Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries, as listed below. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. |
Western Silver Corporation has mineral properties that it operates through interests in joint ventures where the Company shares joint control. These joint ventures are accounted for using the proportionate consolidation method. | ||
Use of estimates | ||
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the related notes. Significant areas where managements judgement is applied include the calculation of net present value of mineral properties, the realization of future income tax benefits, and the assumptions used to calculate stock-based compensation and the value assigned to warrants. Actual results could differ from those reported by a material amount. | ||
Cash and cash equivalents | ||
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash and short-term investments at banks with original maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition. |
Long-term investments | ||
Long-term investments are categorized as available for sale and valued at cost unless there has been an other than temporary impairment in value, in which case they are written down to net realizable value. | ||
Property, plant, and equipment | ||
Plant, property and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. | ||
Mineral properties | ||
The Company records its interest in mineral properties at cost. Exploration and development expenditures relating to properties that have indicated economically recoverable reserves or significant mineralization requiring additional exploration, as well as interest and costs to finance those expenditures, are deferred and will be amortized against future production following commencement of commercial production, or written off if the properties are sold, allowed to lapse, abandoned, or become impaired. | ||
Option payments are made at the discretion of the optionee and, accordingly, are accounted for on a cash basis. | ||
Management of the Company reviews the net carrying value of each mineral property when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Where information is available and conditions suggest impairment, estimated future net cash flows from each property are calculated using estimated future prices, reserves and resources, and operating, capital and reclamation costs on an undiscounted basis. If the net carrying value of the property exceeds the estimated future net cash flows, the property will be written down to the fair value as determined by using discounted cash flows. | ||
Where estimates of future net cash flows are not available and where other conditions suggest impairment, management assesses whether carrying value can be recovered. This assessment may be estimated by using quantifiable evidence of a geological resource or reserve or the Companys assessment of its ability to sell the property for an amount greater than the carrying value. | ||
Managements estimates of mineral prices, recoverable proven and probable reserves and resources, and operating, capital and reclamation costs are subject to certain risks and uncertainties which may affect the assessment of recoverability of mineral property costs. Although management has made its best estimate of these factors, it is possible that changes could occur in the near term which could have a material adverse effect on the estimate of future net cash flows to be generated from the properties. | ||
The acquisition of title to mineral properties is a detailed and time-consuming process. The Company has taken steps, in accordance with industry standards, to verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest. Although the Company has taken reasonable precautions to ensure that legal title to its properties is properly recorded in the name of the Company, there can be no assurance that such title will ultimately be secured. |
Loss per common share | ||
Loss per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding during the year. The effect of potential issuances of shares under options and warrants would be anti-dilutive, and therefore basic and diluted losses per share are the same. | ||
Translation of foreign currency | ||
The accounts of certain of the Companys subsidiaries are translated into Canadian dollars using the temporal method of translating integrated operations. The temporal method is consistent with the method used by the Canadian operation to translate its foreign currency transactions. | ||
Monetary assets and liabilities are translated into Canadian dollars using year-end exchange rates. Non-monetary items are translated at rates prevailing at acquisition or transaction date. Expense items are translated into Canadian dollars at the rate of exchange in effect at the date of the related transaction. All exchange gains or losses arising on translation are included in results of operations for the year. | ||
Stock-based compensation | ||
Effective October 1, 2003, pursuant to the amendments to the CICA standard on accounting for stock-based compensation, the fair value of all stock options granted by the Company to employees, and non-employees, are treated as compensation costs. These costs are charged to the statement of loss, or are capitalized, over the vesting period of the stock options granted. The Companys allocation of stock-based compensation is consistent with its treatment of other types of compensation. The value of stock-based compensation awards is determined by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The standard was adopted on a prospective basis in 2004. | ||
Prior to 2004, stock options granted to employees and directors were shown on a pro-forma basis only. The granting of stock options to non-employees was required to be accounted for using the fair value method. | ||
Income taxes | ||
The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, future income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary differences between tax and accounting basis of assets and liabilities. Future income tax assets or liabilities are calculated using the tax rates anticipated to apply in the periods that the temporary differences are expected to reverse. Future income tax assets are recognized to the extent that they are considered more likely than not to be realized. |

7 | Contract commitments | |
On May 4, 2005, the Company entered into an agreement to sublease office space. The agreement expires October 29, 2009. The total amount of payments remaining during the course of the agreement is $979,128, of which $239,787 is due during the 2006 fiscal year. The remaining $739,341 is due between October 1, 2006 and October 29, 2009. | ||
8 | Income taxes | |
As at September 30, 2005, the Company has accumulated non-capital losses available for carry-forward of approximately $6,800,000, which will expire between 2006 and 2012. The Company also has available Canadian and foreign Exploration and Development Expenditures of approximately $9,000,000, which are available to reduce future taxable income. In addition, the Companys Mexican subsidiaries have accumulated tax balances that may give rise to future tax benefits. No future tax benefit has been recognized in the accounts for these losses or accumulated tax balances. |
a) | The Company does not have any current or future income tax expense or recovery. This differs from the amounts obtained by applying statutory rates to the loss before provision for income taxes due to the following: |

Industry information | ||
The Company operates in one reportable operating segment, being the acquisition, exploration and future development of resource properties. | ||
Geographic information | ||
Interest income in the years ended September 30, 2005, 2004 and 2003 was earned in Canada. | ||
The Companys non-current assets by geographic location are as follows: |

11 | Financial instruments |
a) | Fair value | ||
The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. | |||
The fair value of the Companys long-term investment will fluctuate with market prices (note 3). The Company is exposed to a risk of loss if the market price of the investment permanently falls below cost. | |||
b) | Foreign exchange risk | ||
Foreign exchange risk is the risk arising from foreign currency fluctuations. The Company does not use any derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. | |||
c) | Credit risk exposure | ||
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Company deposits cash and cash equivalents with high credit quality financial institutions. |
12 | Shareholder rights plan | |
On December 11, 2003, the board of directors of the Company adopted a shareholder rights plan (the Plan) which is designed to encourage the fair treatment of the Companys shareholders in connection with any take-over offer and, in particular, any unsolicited take-over bid for the Company. The Plan was approved by the shareholders on March 4, 2004. | ||
Pursuant to the Plan, rights have been created and attached to the common shares of the Company. If a person (the Bidder) acquires 20% or more of the outstanding voting shares of the Company without complying with the Plan, each right, other than the rights held by the Bidder, will entitle the holder to purchase, for $100, common shares of the Company having a market value of $200. |
13 | Material differences between Canadian and United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) | |
The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada (Canadian GAAP), which differ in certain material respects from those principles that the Company would have followed had its consolidated financial statements been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP). The major measurement differences between Canadian and U.S. GAAP are described below, and their effect on the consolidated financial statements is summarized as follows: |

d) | Mineral property exploration expenditures | ||
Mineral property exploration expenditures are accounted for in accordance with Canadian GAAP as disclosed in note 2. |
For U.S. GAAP purposes, the amounts shown for mineral properties represent acquisition costs, less recoveries, incurred to date and do not necessarily reflect present or future values. The Company capitalizes all acquisition costs on a property-by-property basis. Mineral property acquisition costs include the cash consideration and the fair value of common shares and warrants issued for mineral property interests, pursuant to the terms of the relevant agreement. Mineral properties are written off if the property is sold, allowed to lapse or abandoned, or when impairment in value has been determined to have occurred. Mineral property sales proceeds or option payments received for exploration rights are treated as cost recoveries. Mineral property exploration expenditures, periodic option payments relating to mineral properties for which commercial feasibility has not yet been established, and administrative expenditures are expensed as incurred. | |||
Mineral property acquisition costs and development expenditures incurred subsequent to the determination of the feasibility of mining operations are deferred until the property to which they relate is placed into production, sold, allowed to lapse or abandoned, or when impairment in value has been determined to have occurred. | |||
The accumulated costs of properties that are developed to the stage of commercial production will be amortized to operations by unit-of-production depletion. | |||
e) | Available-for-sale securities | ||
Under U.S. GAAP, securities that are available-for-sale are recorded at fair value and unrealized gains or losses are excluded from earnings and recorded in Other Comprehensive Income. | |||
f) | Recent accounting developments | ||
In December 2004, the FASB issued FAS No. 123 (revised 2004) (FAS 123R), Share-Based Payment, which is a revision of FAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-based Compensation. FAS 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values and does not allow the previously permitted pro forma disclosure as an alternative to financial statement recognition. Liability classified awards are remeasured to fair value at each balance sheet date until the award is settled. FAS 123R supersedes Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25 Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations and amends FAS No. 95 Statement of Cash Flows. FAS 123R is scheduled to be effective beginning fiscal 2006 for the Company. On August 31, 2005, the FASB issued FSP FAS 123R-1 to defer the requirement that a freestanding financial instrument originally subject to FAS 123R becomes subject to the recognition and measurement requirements of other applicable generally accepted accounting principles when the rights conveyed by the instrument to the holder are no longer dependent on the holder being an employee of the entity. On October 18, 2005, the FASB issued FSP FAS 123R-2 to provide further guidance on the application of grant date as defined in FAS 123R. The Company is currently assessing the impact of FAS 123R and related FSPs on its consolidated financial statements. |
In December 2004, the FASB issued FAS No. 153 Exchanges of Non-monetary Assets, which amends APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting for Non-monetary Transactions to require that all non-monetary exchanges be accounted for at fair value except for exchanges of non-monetary assets that do not have commercial substance. An exchange is considered to have commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. FAS 153 is effective for non-monetary asset exchanges occurring in periods beginning after June 15, 2005. | |||
In May 2005, the FASB issued FAS No. 154 Accounting Changes and Error Corrections a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FAS Statement No. 3. FAS 154 requires an entity to account for the adoption of a new accounting policy by applying the new principle to prior accounting periods as if the principle had always been adopted, or retrospective application. Under existing GAAP, a new principle is not applied to prior periods; rather, the cumulative effect of the change is recognized in earnings in the period of the change. FAS 154 also carries forward without change the guidance from Opinion No. 20 for reporting the correction of an error in previously issued financial statements and the accounting for changes in estimate. The provisions of FAS 154 will be effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. |
14 | Subsequent event | |
On November 11, 2005, the Company announced that an independent feasibility study has concluded that the Peñasco and Chile Colorado deposits contained within its wholly owned Peñasquito property in Central Mexico can be developed economically. |

4 | Stock options | |
Effective April 4, 2005, the shareholders adopted a 10% rolling stock option plan (rolling plan). All previously existing plans and stock options were incorporated into the rolling plan. At any point in time, the Company may issue stock options for the purchase of up to 10% of issued capital. The exercise price of the stock options shall be equal to, or less, than the market value of the Companys common shares on the last trading day immediately preceding the date of grant. Stock options vest over a two year period from the date of grant unless otherwise determined by the directors. The maximum stock option term is 10 years. As at March 31, 2006, the Company can issue an additional 2,547,923 stock options. |
A summary of the Companys stock options outstanding at March 31, 2006 and September 30, 2005 and the changes for the periods then ended, is presented below: |

Of the total stock options granted and outstanding, 1,770,335 were vested at March 31, 2006. The exercise price of vested stock options ranges from $1.00 $10.25. | ||
The fair value of all stock options granted by the Company to employees, and non-employees, is treated as compensation costs in accordance with CICA Handbook section 3870 Stock-based Compensation. These costs are charged to the statement of loss, or are capitalized, over the stock option vesting period. The Companys allocation of stock-based compensation is consistent with its treatment of other types of compensation. The value of stock-based compensation awards is determined by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. |
The valuation of stock options is determined at the time of grant. The most recent stock option grant occurred in August 2005. The valuation of those stock options was based on the following assumptions: |
Average risk-free interest rate |
3.27 | % | ||
Expected dividend yield |
| |||
Expected stock price volatility |
65 | % | ||
Expected option term, in years |
3.58 |
Option pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected price volatility. Changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, and therefore the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the companys stock options granted and/or vested during the year. | ||
5 | Change in accounting policy | |
Effective October 1, 2005, the Company adopted the new Accounting Guideline 15 (AcG-15) Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. The new standard establishes when a company should consolidate a variable interest entity in its financial statements. AcG-15 provides the definition of a variable interest entity and requires a variable interest entity to be consolidated if a company is at risk of absorbing a majority of the variable interest entitys expected losses, or is entitled to receive a majority of the variable interest entitys residual returns, or both. The adoption of this guideline had no impact on the Companys financial results. | ||
6 | Contract commitments | |
The Company subleases office space. The agreement expires October 29, 2009. The total amount of payments remaining during the course of the agreement is $938,037, of which $261,778 is due during in the next 12 months. The remaining $676,259 is due between April 1, 2007 and October 29, 2009. | ||
7 | Segmented information | |
The Company operates in one reportable operating segment the acquisition, exploration and development of resource properties. | ||
Interest income is earned in Canada. |
The Companys mineral properties are located in Canada and Mexico. The geographic breakdown of mineral properties is shown in note 2. | ||
All other non-current assets are held in Canada. |
8 | Legal matters | |
Western has been advised that a writ was filed in October 2005 in the British Columbia Supreme Court against the Company and Major Drilling Group International Inc. (Major). The writ was filed by one of the Companys consultants with respect to an accident that occurred during the Companys exploration program in 2003. Under its contract with Major, Western believes that it would be fully indemnified by Major if any damages were awarded against the Company. No damage amount has been set out and the writ has not been served on the Company. | ||
9 | Plan of arrangement Glamis Gold Ltd. | |
On February 24, 2006, Western Silver Corporation (Western Silver) and Glamis Gold Ltd. (Glamis) announced a plan of arrangement (the Agreement), whereby Glamis will acquire all the outstanding shares of Western Silver. Pursuant to the Agreement, each Western Silver shareholder will receive 0.688 of a Glamis common share and a share in Western Copper Corporation (Western Copper) for each issued Western Silver share. As part of the agreement, Western Silver will transfer to Western Copper cash and cash equivalents of approximately $38.76 million, its interest in Carmacks Copper and the Almoloya projects, and office equipment relating to Western Silvers corporate office. The transaction is expected to close in May 2006. |

1. | Plan of arrangement and basis of presentation: | |
The accompanying pro forma consolidated financial statements have been compiled for purposes of inclusion in a Business Acquisition Report of Glamis Gold Ltd. (Glamis). These pro forma consolidated financial statements give effect to the acquisition by Glamis of all the issued and outstanding shares of Western Silver Corporation (Western Silver) under a plan of arrangement approved by the shareholders of Western Silver on May 3, 2006. Under the terms of the plan of arrangement, Western Silver created a new wholly-owned subsidiary company (Western Copper), and transferred to Western Copper cash in the amount of approximately CDN$37.0 million and all of Western Silvers right, title and interest in and to specified exploration properties and assets located in Canada and Mexico. Pursuant to the plan of arrangement Western Silver shareholders exchanged each of their Western Silver shares held for 0.688 of a Glamis share and one common share of Western Copper. In addition, each Western Silver share purchase optionholder received a Glamis option right exercisable into 0.688 of a Glamis share at an adjusted exercise price and a Western Copper share purchase option. | ||
These pro forma consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management of Glamis in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) to give effect to the transaction pursuant to the plan of arrangement described above. For accounting purposes, the transaction has been recorded as an acquisition of the assets of Western Silver by Glamis and the net assets acquired have been recorded at their estimated fair value. | ||
These pro forma consolidated financial statements include: |
(a) | a pro forma consolidated balance sheet as at March 31, 2006, which has been prepared from the March 31, 2006 unaudited consolidated balance sheet of Glamis and the March 31, 2006 unaudited consolidated balance sheet of Western Silver, converted to U.S. dollars at the March 31, 2006 Canadian/U.S. dollar exchange rate of 1.1680, and gives effect to the acquisition by Glamis of the Western Silver assets and liabilities and the assumptions as described in note 2, as if these transactions occurred on March 31, 2006. | ||
(b) | pro forma consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and the year ended December 31, 2005 prepared from the unaudited consolidated statement of operations of Glamis for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and the audited consolidated statement of operations of Glamis for the year ended December 31, 2005 and from the unaudited consolidated statements of operations of Western Silver for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 prepared as described in note 5, as if the transactions had occurred on January 1, 2005. | ||
These pro forma consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the financial position of Glamis as at the time of closing of the transaction referred to above, nor of the future operating results of Glamis as a result of the transactions. |

1. | Plan of arrangement and basis of presentation (continued): | |
The pro forma consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements of Glamis for the three months ended March 31, 2006, the audited consolidated financial statements of Glamis as at and for the year ended December 31, 2005, the audited consolidated financial statements of Western Silver for the year ended September 30, 2005 and unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Western Silver for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and the three months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, all of which have been prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP. | ||
2. | Pro forma assumptions: | |
The pro forma consolidated balance sheet gives effect to the following transactions and assumptions as if they had occurred on March 31, 2006: |
(a) | The proceeds of $0.4 received on exercise of options by Western Silver option holders prior to the acquisition of the Western Silver shares by Glamis. | ||
(b) | The transfer of approximately CDN$37.0 million cash (U.S.$31.7 million) to Western Copper and the incurrence of costs related to the transaction by Western Silver of $10.7 million. In addition, any remaining net working capital and other assets of Western Silver at the date of closing of the transactions was transferred to Western Copper. Accordingly, it is assumed that the remaining accounts receivable and prepaid expenses of $1.1 million, other assets of $0.2 million and accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $3.3 million of Western Silver are not acquired/assumed by Glamis in the March 31, 2006 pro forma consolidated balance sheet. | ||
(c) | The total assumed purchase price of $1,039.1 million is determined as follows: |
Western Silver shares outstanding at May 3, 2006 |

2. | Pro forma assumptions (continued): |
(c) | Continued: |
(1) | The fair value of a Glamis option right has been estimated based on the market price of a Glamis share of $29.36, an average exercise price of CDN$9.37 (U.S.$8.43) and assuming an expected life of the option of 0.5 years, expected stock price volatility of 46%, expected dividend yield of nil and a risk free rate of return of 3.87%. | ||
The assets acquired and liabilities assumed are to be recorded at their estimated fair values, which are based on preliminary management estimates and are subject to final valuation adjustments. | |||
The preliminary allocation of the purchase price is as follows: |
(millions) | ||||
Mineral property, plant and equipment |
$ | 1,436.7 | ||
Future income taxes |
(397.6 | ) | ||
$ | 1,039.1 | |||
(d) | The elimination of the existing share capital, contributed surplus and deficit of Western Silver. | ||
The pro forma consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and for the year ended December 31, 2005 gives effect to the following adjustments and assumptions as if the transactions described above had occurred on January 1, 2005: | |||
(e) | An increase in exploration expense by Western Silver of $11.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 to conform with Glamis accounting policy of expensing exploration expenditures on properties not advanced enough to identify their development potential. A feasibility study was completed by Western Silver in November, 2005 on its Pënasquito property at which time, under Glamis accounting policy, further development costs would be capitalized. Accordingly, no adjustment is required in the pro forma consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2006. | ||
(f) | An increase in stock-based compensation of $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 deferred by Western Silver to properties in the exploration stage which would be expensed under Glamis accounting policies. | ||
(g) | The reduction of interest income of Western Silver to nil for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and for the year ended December 31, 2005 as Glamis is not acquiring any cash under the transactions. |
