1、 Northern Abitibi Mining Corp.2011 Annual Report NORTHERN ABITIBI MINING CORP.Presidents Message Dear Shareholders;The past year has been one of challenging global markets and a difficult environment for financing mineral exploration activities.A lack of exploration funds prevented the company from
2、advancing the Viking Project in Newfoundland on its own,and as a result the company decided the best option to maximize shareholder value was to consolidate the Viking district with Spruce Ridge Resources Ltd.existing large land package and allow the numerous mineralized zones to be explored by a co
3、mpany that had the local experience and financial resources to move exploration forward.The sale of Viking to Spruce Ridge gives Northern Abitibi Shareholders a large stake in Spruce Ridge,a company with a good share structure and the ability to raise exploration capital for the Viking district.Spin
4、ning out the Viking asset to Spruce Ridge exposes Northern Abitibi shareholders to another avenue for success,providing shareholders with some diversity and continued upside.Over the coming year Northern Abitibi will focus on pursuing new business opportunities.The company continues to actively sear
5、ch for new early stage exploration opportunities and avenues for growth in stable jurisdictions within North America.On behalf of the Board of Directors,I would like to thank our shareholders for their continued support and patience during these challenging market conditions.Respectfully submitted o

47、on the transaction date for aggregate non-cash proceeds of$97,500.During the year ended September 30,2011,the Company granted stock options to consultants resulting in a non-cash charge of$4,000 being included in general and administrative expenses.(Note 10)During the year ended September 30,2011,no
48、n-cash share issue costs in the amount of$21,000 were recognized as a reduction to capital stock.These costs represented the value assigned to brokers warrants granted in connection with the private placement that closed in April,2011.(Note 7)2010 During the year ended September 30,2010 the Company
49、issued 665,000 common shares pursuant to the Viking,Newfoundland and Labrador option agreement.The non-cash transaction was valued at$113,050 using the closing price of the Companys common shares on the share issue date.During the year ended September 30,2010,the Company sold its interest in two cla
50、ims at its Douay property for cash proceeds of$40,000 as well as 400,000 of the purchasers common shares and 200,000 purchase warrants.The shares and warrants were valued at$46,000 on the transaction date.During the year ended September 30,2010,the Company granted stock options to staff,officers and
51、/or directors resulting in a non-cash charge of$51,000 being included in general and administrative expenses.(Note 10)See accompanying notes to the financial statements.5Northern Abitibi Mining Corp.Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements September 30,2011 1.Nature of operations and going con
52、cern Northern Abitibi Mining Corp.is engaged in the business of mineral exploration and development in Canada and the United States.Since inception,the efforts of the Company have been devoted to the acquisition,exploration and development of mineral properties.To date the Company has not received a
53、ny revenue from mining operations and has not determined whether mineral properties contain ore reserves that are economically recoverable.Mineral properties are recognized in these financial statements in accordance with the accounting policies outlined in Note 2.Accordingly,their carrying values r
54、epresent costs incurred to date,net of recoveries,abandonments and write-downs,and do not necessarily reflect present or future values.The recoverability of these amounts is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable mineral reserves;the acquisition and maintenance of appropriate permi
55、ts,licenses and rights;the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete the development of properties where necessary,and upon future profitable operations;or alternatively,upon the Companys ability to recover its costs through a disposition of its interests.These financial state
56、ments have been prepared using Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business as they become due.At September 30,2011,the Company had a deficit of$10,646,758 a
57、nd a loss of$120,025 before future income tax recovery for the year then ended.While the Company has sufficient working capital to fund general and administrative and other operating costs through the end of fiscal 2012,the Company is dependent upon raising funds through the issuance of shares and/o
58、r attracting joint venture partners in order to undertake exploration during 2012 and beyond and to develop its mineral properties.The continuing operations of the Company are dependent upon its ability to continue to obtain adequate financing or to commence profitable operations in the future.There
59、 can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining financing.As a result,there is significant risk regarding the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.These financial statements do not reflect the adjustments that might be necessary to the carrying amount of reported ass
60、ets,liabilities,revenues and expenses if the Company could not continue as a going concern.Such adjustments could be material.2.Summary of significant accounting policies a)Principles of consolidation These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned US
61、 subsidiary NAMCOEX Inc.b)Future accounting changes In February,2008,the Canadian Accounting Standards Board,(AcSB),announced that interim and annual financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1,2011 must be prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporti
62、ng Standards,(IFRS).Accordingly the Company will be required to present their financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30,2012 in accordance with IFRS and will be required to restate the comparatives for the fiscal year ended September 30,2011.While the Company has begun assessing th
63、e consequences of the adoption of IFRS,the financial reporting impact of the transition to IFRS cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.c)Financial instruments and comprehensive income Financial instruments are classified in one of four categories:held-to-maturity,available-for-sale,held for tra
64、ding or loans and receivables.Financial assets held to maturity,loans and receivables and financial liabilities other than those held for trading,are measured at amortized cost.Available-for-sale instruments are measured at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recognized in other comprehensiv
65、e income.Instruments classified as held for trading are measured at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recognized in the statement of operations.Comprehensive income is the change in shareholders equity during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sour
66、ces.Accumulated other comprehensive income is included in the shareholders equity section of the balance sheet.The components of this category include unrealized gains and losses on financial assets classified as available-for-sale,foreign currency gains or losses applicable to the Companys subsidia
67、ries that are self-sustaining operations and the effective portion of cash flow hedges.6Northern Abitibi Mining Corp.Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements September 30,2011 2.Summary of significant accounting policies(continued)c)Financial instruments and comprehensive income Effective for
68、the Companys year ended September 30,2010,CICA Section 3862,Financial Instruments-Disclosures requires disclosures about the relative inputs to fair value measurements,including their classification within a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to fair value measurements.The three levels of fair va
69、lue are summarized below:-Level 1 -Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;-Level 2-Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for assets or liabilities either directly or indirectly;and -Level 3 -Inputs that are not based on observable market data.Lev
70、el 1 has been utilized to value cash and cash equivalents and common shares included in short-term investments.The warrants included in short-term investments are categorized as Level 2.d)Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting princi
71、ples requires management to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets,such as resource properties(see Note 1),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 reporting
72、 period.Significant estimates include recoverability of property and equipment,valuation of options and warrants and estimates of asset retirement obligations.Actual results could differ from those estimates.e)Mineral properties and equipment Costs relating to the acquisition,exploration and develop
73、ment of mineral properties are capitalized on an area of interest basis.These expenditures will be charged against income,through unit of production depletion,when properties are developed to the stage of commercial production.If an area of interest is abandoned,the related costs are charged to oper
74、ations.The Company reviews the carrying values of mineral property interests on a quarterly basis by reference to the project economics,including the timing of the exploration and/or development work,the work programs and exploration results experienced by the Company and others,available financing,
75、and the extent to which optionees have committed,or are expected to commit to,exploration on the property.When it becomes apparent that the carrying value of a specific property exceeds its estimated net recoverable amount based on the foregoing criteria,an impairment provision is made for the decli
76、ne in value.Where the Companys exploration commitments for an area of interest are performed under option agreements with a third party,the proceeds of any option payments under such agreements are applied to the area of interest to the extent of costs incurred.The excess,if any,is credited to opera
77、tions.Option payments made by the Company are recorded as mineral property costs.Options are exercisable entirely at the discretion of the optionee and accordingly,are recorded as mineral property costs or recoveries when the payments are made or received.The proceeds on the sale of mineral property
78、 interests are applied to the area of interest to the extent of costs incurred and the excess,if any,is credited to operations.Equipment is recorded at cost net of amortization calculated on a declining balance basis at rates of 30%-50%per annum.A bridge is being amortized on a straight-line basis o
79、ver seven years.f)Asset Retirement Obligations An asset retirement obligation is a legal obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that the Company is required to settle.This would include obligations related to future removal of property and equipment,and site restorat
80、ion costs.A liability,for the fair value of environmental and site restoration obligations,is recorded when the obligations are incurred and the fair value can be reasonably estimated.The fair value of the obligations is based on the estimated cash flow required to settle the obligations discounted
81、using the Government of Canada Bond Rate for the applicable term adjusted for the Companys credit rating.The fair value of the obligations is recorded as a liability with the same amount recorded as an increase in capitalized costs.The amounts included in capitalized costs are depleted using the uni
82、t-of-production method at such point that the mineral property achieves commercial production,or the costs will be written-off at such time that management considers that the value of the related property has been impaired.The liability is adjusted for accretion expense representing the increase in
83、the fair value of the obligations due to the passage of time.The accretion expense is recorded as an operating expense.7Northern Abitibi Mining Corp.Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements September 30,2011 2.Summary of significant accounting policies(continued)g)Flow-through common shares Re
84、source expenditure deductions for income tax purposes related to exploration and development activities funded by flow-through share arrangements are renounced to investors in accordance with income tax legislation.On the renunciation date,future income tax liability is increased and capital stock i
85、s reduced by the estimated tax benefits transferred to shareholders.To the extent that qualifying flow-through expenditures are incurred in the calendar year following the year of renunciation,Part XII.6 tax,calculated at the legislated interest rate,accrues on the unexpended amounts.This Part XII.6
86、 tax is expensed in the year that it accrues.h)Foreign currency translation The Company uses the temporal method of foreign currency translation for transactions incurred corporately in US dollars and for translating the operations of its fully integrated wholly owned US subsidiary.Pursuant to this
87、method,monetary items are translated using the rate in effect at the financial statement date,non-monetary items are translated at the rate in effect on the transaction date and revenues and expenses are translated at the average rate in effect during the period.Gains and losses are recorded in oper
88、ations for the year.i)Earnings(loss)per share Basic earnings(loss)per common share is computed by dividing the net earnings(loss)by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year.Diluted per share amounts reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other c
89、ontracts to issue common shares were exercised or converted to common shares.The treasury stock method is used to determine the dilutive effect of stock options and other dilutive instruments.Under the treasury stock method only“in-the-money”dilutive instruments impact the dilution calculations.Refe
90、r to Note 7(c)and(e)for a summary of options and warrants outstanding that could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future,but were excluded from the calculation in the years disclosed because their effect was anti-dilutive.j)Income taxes Income taxes are recorded using the liability
91、 method of tax allocation.Future income taxes are calculated based on temporary timing differences arising from the difference between the tax basis of an asset or liability and its carrying value using tax rates anticipated to apply in the periods when the timing differences are expected to reverse
92、.The effect on future tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that substantive enactment occurs.To the extent that the Company does not consider it more likely than not that a future tax asset will be recovered,a valuation allowance is applied agains
93、t the excess.k)Stock-based compensation The Company follows the“fair value”method of accounting for stock-based compensation arrangements,whereby the fair value of the stock options at the date of grant is recorded as compensation cost over the vesting period.The fair value is determined using an op
94、tion-pricing model that takes into account the exercise price and expected life of the option,the current price of the underlying stock,its expected volatility,the expected dividends on the stock,and the current risk-free interest rate for the expected life of the option.l)Government incentives Thro
95、ugh its exploration in Newfoundland and Labrador,the Company has benefited from grants.These incentives are not repayable provided that the Company meets the requirements of the agreement,the most significant of which is that the incentives apply to qualifying expenditures.Qualifying expenditures ar
96、e defined broadly within the agreement as all reasonable expenses for contracted services,machinery rental,transportation of machinery,personnel and supplies or other approved costs in connection with specific Newfoundland exploration programs.The incentives reduce the mineral property costs to whic
97、h they pertain in the year that the qualifying exploration expenditures are incurred or when eligibility becomes apparent if this is later.These government incentives are subject to review by the relevant granting authorities,and by their nature are subject to measurement uncertainty.Adjustments,if
98、any,resulting from such a review are recorded in the period during which the final grant payment amount is assessed by the governing agency.8Northern Abitibi Mining Corp.Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements September 30,2011 3.Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cas
99、h and highly liquid Canadian dollar denominated investments in bankers acceptances or term deposits with terms to maturity of 90 days or less when acquired.The counter-parties are financial institutions.At September 30,2011 unexpended proceeds from flow-through share issuances in the amount of$Nil(2
100、010-$424,600),that are restricted for use on qualifying exploration expenditures are included in cash and cash equivalents.The restricted cash held on September 30,2010 was fully expended on qualifying expenditures by September 30,2011.4.Short-term Investments September 30,2011 Number of shares/warr

103、upon the sale of the Companys interest in its last remaining Douay claims during the year ended September 30,2011.The common shares,which are traded on a public stock exchange,were valued at the closing price on the transaction date and,for purposes of recording the investments at market value at Se
104、ptember 30,2011 and September 30,2010,the closing price of the shares on the respective period end dates was used.Each warrant may be exercised to purchase one common share of Socit dExploration Minire Vior Inc.,at a price of$0.12 per share to August 24,2015.The warrants were valued on the transacti

152、due to the short-term nature of the instruments.Held for trading investments are carried at fair value which approximates cost due to their short-term nature.The average interest rate on outstanding cash and cash equivalent balances was 0.9%at September 30,2011.Available-for-sale investments are car
153、ried at fair value.Unless otherwise noted,it is managements opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.The value of cash and cash equivalent investments denominated in US dollars fluctuates with changes in currency exchang
154、e rates.Appreciation of US dollar currencies results in a foreign currency gain on such investments and a decrease in US dollar currencies results in a loss.The Company had no US fund balances throughout the years ended September 30,2011 and September 30,2010 and as at the respective year ends.Conse
155、quently,variations in exchange rates will not result in foreign exchange gains or losses at this point in time.10.Stock-based compensation Included in general and administrative expenses for the year ended September 30,2011 is stock based compensation in the amount of$4,000,(2010-$51,000).The fair v
156、alue of the compensation associated with the granting of 75,000,(2010-700,000)options,was determined using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model assuming expected volatility of 79%,(2010-88%),a risk-free interest rate of 1.8%(2010-1.34%),expected option life of 2 years,(2010-2 years),and expected d

159、d warrants are exercised,and then reduced by the number of shares assumed to be repurchased from the issuance proceeds,using the average market price of the Companys common shares for the period.The$0.22 and$0.155 options and all but the$0.12 warrants that were outstanding during the year ended Sept
160、ember 30,2011,were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as the exercise prices were greater than the average price of the Companys shares during the year ended September 30,2011.During the year ended September 30,2010,the Company experienced a loss therefore no dilution result

170、ended,with a company related by virtue of certain common officers and directors,the Company is committed to pay its share of lease operating costs and base lease expenses to the expiry of the sublease on December 31,2011.The committed base sublease costs to the termination of the sublease are as fol
171、lows:2012$5,000 In addition,the Company is committed to pay its share of associated lease operating costs,which are approximately$1,000 per month to the end of the lease term.15.Segment disclosures While in past years the Company had undertaken mineral exploration in the United States,during the yea
172、rs ended September 30,2011 and September 30,2010 all mineral exploration activities were undertaken in Canada.Consequently,segmented information is not presented in these financial statements.16.Capital The Companys objective when managing capital is to continue as a going concern so that it can pro
173、vide value to shareholders by acquiring and conducting exploration on mineral exploration properties with the ultimate objective of finding commercial quantities of base and/or precious metals.Capital is defined as Capital Stock,Warrants,Contributed Surplus and Deficit.The Company has traditionally
174、financed through equity issues rather than debt and does not anticipate using debt to finance its continuing grass roots exploration.Should the Company evolve to the point where it is developing or operating a mine,debt options will be investigated.The Company will raise equity as cash flow requirem
175、ents dictate and will attempt,when able,to time financings with more favorable market conditions.The Company can scale back exploration,and to a certain extent,discretionary administrative costs during tighter equity markets.The Company invests capital that is surplus to its immediate operational ne
176、eds in short-term,liquid and highly-rated financial instruments such as Bankers Acceptances and Term Deposits.The externally imposed capital requirement that the Company is exposed to relates to flow-through shares.Pursuant to flow-through agreements entered into with flow-through share subscribers,
177、the Company has committed to use the full proceeds of these issuances to incur qualifying mineral exploration expenditures within a prescribed time frame.Should the Company not incur these expenditures,they are required to pay the flow-through subscribers an amount equal to the tax payable by the su
178、bscriber as a result of the Companys failure to incur the expenditures.As indicated in note 3,the Company has fully expended its flow-through commitment as of September 30,2011.17.Financial risk management a)Credit Risk Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if counterparties to a
179、financial instrument fail to meet their contractual obligations.The Companys financial instruments that could be subject to credit risk consist of related party receivables,government grant receivables and cash held in bankers acceptances and term deposits.The Company has had a history of prompt pay
180、ment of its receivables and considers credit risk to be low on these instruments and on its cash equivalent investments as at September 30,2011.17Northern Abitibi Mining Corp.Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements September 30,2011 17.Financial risk management(continued)b)Liquidity risk Liqu
181、idity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they are due.The Companys approach to managing liquidity risk is the utilization of budgets,to attempt to maintain sufficient liquidity in order to meet operational and exploration requirements as well as p
182、roperty acquisition commitments.The Company raises capital through equity issues and its ability to do so is dependent on a number of factors including market acceptance,stock price and exploration results.The Company is continually investigating financing options.The Company feels that it has suffi
183、cient working capital to finance an updated resource estimate as well as general and administrative and other operating expenses to the end of fiscal 2012.However,increases in activity levels,new property acquisitions and 2012 exploration will require additional financing.Refer also to Note 1,Nature
184、 of operations and going concern.c)Market risk Market risk consists of currency risk,commodity price risk and interest rate risk.The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable limits.There were no foreign currency denominated transactions dur
185、ing the year ended September 30,2011 and the Company did not hold cash balances in foreign currencies.As a result the Company was not exposed to foreign currency exchange risks during the year ended or as at September 30,2011.Since the Company has not yet developed producing mineral interests,it is
186、not exposed to commodity price risk at this time.As the Company has no debt facilities and has minimal amounts of interest income,it is not exposed to significant interest rate risk at this time.The Companys equity investments are subject to market price risk.These investments were received as parti
187、al proceeds for the sale of mineral property interests.The Company does not invest excess cash in equity investments as a general rule.The investments in common shares and warrants are recorded at fair value at the respective period ends with the resultant gains or losses recorded in Other Comprehen

190、ear ended September 30,2011 and related notes thereto.The financial information in this Management Discussion and Analysis,(MD&A),is derived from the Companys financial statements prepared in accordance with Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.The effective date of this MD&A is Decembe
191、r 6,2011.All dollar amounts are in Canadian Dollars unless otherwise stated.Additional information relating to the Company may be found on SEDAR at .Statements and/or financial forecasts that are unaudited and not historical,including without limitation,exploration budgets,data regarding potential m
192、ineralization,exploration results and future plans and objectives,are to be regarded as forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that can cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.Such risks and uncertainties include risks related to the Companys
193、business including,but not limited to:general market and economic conditions,limited operating history,continued industry and public acceptance,regulatory compliance,potential liability claims,additional capital requirements and uncertainty of obtaining additional financing and dependence on key per
194、sonnel.Actual exploration and administrative expenditures can differ from budget due to unforeseen circumstances,changes in the market place that will cause suppliers prices to change,and additional findings that will dictate that the exploration plan be altered to result in more or less work.All fo
195、rward-looking information is stated as of the effective date of this document,and is subject to change after this date.There can be no assurance that forward-looking information will prove to be accurate and future events and actual results could differ materially from those anticipated.1)Principal
196、Business of the Company Northern Abitibi Mining Corp.,(the Company),trading as NAI on the TSX.V,including its wholly owned subsidiary,NAMCOEX Inc.,is engaged exclusively in the business of mineral exploration and development and,as the Company has no mining operations and no earnings therefrom,is co
197、nsidered to be in the exploration stage.The recoverability of the amounts comprising mineral properties is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable mineral reserves;the acquisition and maintenance of appropriate permits,licenses and rights;the ability of the Company to obtain financi
198、ng to complete the development of the properties where necessary and upon future profitable production;or,alternatively,upon the Companys ability to recover its costs through a disposition of its interests.The Companys philosophy is to acquire projects at the grass roots level and advance them to a
199、point where partners can be brought in to further the properties to the stage where a mine is commercially feasible or the property can be sold outright.The Company has no operating income and no earnings;exploration and operating activities are financed by the sale of common shares and warrants.Non
200、e of the Companys properties are in production.Consequently,the Companys net income is a limited indicator of its performance and potential.2)Highlights year ended September 30,2011 a)On November 6,2010,the Company was presented with the Prospector/Explorer of the Year Award,by the Canadian Institut
201、e of Mining,Metallurgy and Petroleum,Newfoundland Branch.The award was earned by the Company for its role in the discovery and delineation of a new gold deposit at the Viking Project in Newfoundland and Labrador.b)The Company completed its second stage 2010 surface and drill program on the Viking,Ne
202、wfoundland and Labrador mineral property,bringing 2010 drilling to a total of 9735 meters of core in 58 holes.The 2010 drill program successfully targeted and outlined an extensive near surface zone of gold mineralization along the Thor Trend.c)The Company received$100,000 through the Government of
203、Newfoundland and Labradors Junior Exploration Assistance Program.The Grant is calculated as one half of qualifying exploration expenditures to a maximum of$100,000.2NORTHERN ABITIBI MINING CORP.MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,2011 2)Highlights the year ended Septe
204、mber 30,2011(continued)d)Mercator Geological Services Lpleted the independent resource estimate study on the Thor Trend.The Company has hired an independent contractor to prepare an updated resource estimate.e)The Company closed a private placement grossing$987,000 that will finance the 2011 explora
205、tion program and general working capital needs.f)The Company completed its 2011 trenching,mapping,drilling program with the goal of increasing inferred gold resources at a low incremental exploration cost per ounce.A total of 4698 meters of drilling in 25 holes,an induced polarization geophysical su
206、rvey and trenching totaling ten trenches was completed.3)Mineral Properties Viking,Newfoundland and Labrador,Canada The Viking property has excellent access and local infrastructure,with a paved highway and power line located less than one kilometre from the project.By issuing 1,115,000 common share
207、s of the Company and spending$1,200,000 on exploration,the Company completed its option earn-in during fiscal 2010 to acquire a 100%interest in the property subject to a 2.0%-4.0%sliding scale net smelter royalty that was retained by the vendor.The Viking Property contains numerous high grade veins
208、within larger bulk tonnage style zones of gold mineralization located within a 3 to 4 kilometre long gold-in-soil anomaly.Exploration by the Company on the property has included trenching programs in 2008 and 2009 and drilling programs in 2009 and 2010.Drilling highlights include high grade intercep
209、ts of 5.75 meters grading 33.7 grams per tonne(g/t)gold,3.7 meters grading 50.1 g/t gold,0.5 meters grading 218.8 g/t gold as well as lower grade intercepts including 27 meters grading 7.9 g/t gold,23.0 meters grading 5.1 g/t gold,and 57.4 meters grading 2.8 g/t gold.During the year ended September
210、30,2010,the Company completed its first stage 2010 exploration program that included 6678 meters of drilling and focused on infill and resource delineation along the Thor Trend,which remains open for expansion.This first stage exploration program and resource estimate had been budgeted at approximat
211、ely$1.4 million and actual costs approximated$1.25 million.The 2010 drilling program continued to successfully intersect gold mineralization along the Thor Trend.The results have expanded the bulk-minable potential of the northern portion of the Thor Trend and have identified high-grade,potentially
212、underground minable,gold zones throughout the entire trend.During fiscal 2010,the Company hired Met-Solve Laboratories Inc.to conduct metallurgical testing on a single composite sample of representative drill core from the Viking project.The objectives of the testing were to obtain a better understa
213、nding of the metallurgical characteristics of the mineralization and to identify any potential metallurgical difficulties at an early stage.The test work included screen analysis to determine average free gold particle size,preliminary grind size versus recovery studies,and gravity recoverable gold
214、and gold recovery by bottle roll cyanide leaching.The preliminary metallurgical test work has confirmed the high degree of free gold contained within the Viking mineralization.Further testing will be required to provide definitive metallurgical characteristics along the entire Thor Trend,however,the
215、 initial results provide indications that the mineralization is amenable to standard ore processing techniques.The high percentage of gravity recoverable gold in the sample has favorable implications for future mining operations as gravity recovery of gold is generally accepted as the lowest cost me
216、thod of processing gold ore.The second stage exploration program,with a budget of between$415,000 and$575,000,commenced in mid-September,2010 and was completed in the first quarter of 2011 with actual costs of approximately$400,000.Two drilling rigs were utilized.One drill tested the Viking trend on
217、 the west side of the property and the second tested the Asgard Trend on the east side of the property.Drill results are summarized in news releases 10-19(October 5),10-20(November 4),and 10-22(November 16).Results 3NORTHERN ABITIBI MINING CORP.MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE YEAR ENDED
218、SEPTEMBER 30,2011 3)Mineral Properties(continued)Viking,Newfoundland and Labrador,Canada included drill hole 100 which intersected a 38 meter zone averaging 0.9 g/t gold including a 15 meter zone averaging 1.3 g/t gold and a separate higher grade zone containing 7 g/t gold over 1 meter.Drill hole 10
219、1 also intersected a high grade vein containing visible gold which returned 12.5 g/t gold over 0.5 meters.Drill hole 86 returned a 0.4 meter interval grading 10.2 g/t gold and a 1.2 meter interval grading 5.4 g/t gold within a larger zone averaging 0.7 g/t gold over 80.9 meters.Several previously re
220、leased samples were re-analysed using a metallic screen procedure during September,2010.A metallic screen assay from hole 58 resulted in a 0.5 meter interval increasing in grade from 18.0 to 124.8 g/t gold.New metallic screen assays for drill hole 60 resulted in an increase in a 32 meter interval fr
221、om 0.7 to 1.8 g/t gold,including an 8.5 meter interval which increased from 2.2 to 6.4 g/t gold.Metallic screen assays have proven to be effective in determining grade in samples containing coarse free gold,which can be underestimated with standard fire assay procedures.The 2010 drill program succes
222、sfully targeted and outlined an extensive near surface zone of gold mineralization along the Thor Trend.Mercator Geological Services Lpleted the independent resource estimate study on the Thor Trend.The report demonstrates that the low grade mineralization demonstrates good continuity at the 0.20 gr
223、ams per tonne(g/t)grade cut-off,resulting in a cut Inferred Mineral Resource of 6,284,000 rounded tonnes at a grade of 0.61 g/t gold,(123,242 ounces),and an uncut Inferred Mineral Resource of 6,293,000 rounded tonnes at a grade of 0.65 g/t gold,(131,511 ounces).During the year ended September 30,201
224、1,the Company completed its 2011 trenching,mapping,drilling program.The goal of the 2011 exploration program was to maximize high grade resources along the Thor Trend,identify additional areas on the claim block where resources can be defined,test a number of new structural targets on the Viking pro
225、perty and ultimately obtain an updated Resource Estimate.The program was budgeted at approximately$1,000,000 and actual costs approximated$960,000 before the updated Resource Estimate that is budgeted at$55,000.Results have been received for drill holes 104 through 128.Significant drilling results i
226、nclude 1.3 meters grading 10.4 grams per tonne,(g/t),gold,21.4 meters grading 0.9 g/t gold and significant zones of low grade gold mineralization including 65.3 meters grading 0.5 g/t gold.These and other significant results are disclosed in news releases dated June 28,2011,July 27,2011,August 18,20
227、11,September 19,2011 and November 1,2011 respectively and may be accessed from our website at www.naminco.ca or at www.SEDAR.com.The Company has completed ten trenches to date.Through trenching along the north eastern end of the Viking property,a new zone of alteration and mineralization has been un
228、covered over an area 400 meters long by 100 meters wide with the zone remaining open along strike.Channel sampling across the higher grade veins has returned values of 9.9 g/t gold and 52 g/t silver over 1.4 meters,5.2 g/t gold over 1 meter and 3 g/t gold and 17.3 g/t silver over 1.1 meters.Trenchin
229、g and prospecting at the end of the 2011 program has resulted in the discovery of three new zones of mineralization.Trenching of an induced polarization geophysical anomaly in the central part of the Viking property has encountered a high grade zone grading 5.5 g/t gold over 1.3 meters.A 2D and 3D i
230、nduced polarization geophysical survey has been completed with significant chargeability anomalies having been identified on the western side of Viking.Several geophysical exploration targets have been identified including a 330 meter long chargeability anomaly at the southern projection of the Thor
231、 Trend which has not been drill-tested.The chargeability anomaly is interpreted to be related to sulfide-bearing intrusive rocks.The 2D geophysical results over the southern and western part of the property identified three large chargeability anomalies with strike lengths up to 1000 meters and widt
232、hs up to 100 meters.Drill hole 127 tested one of these anomalies and returned significant intersections of 4NORTHERN ABITIBI MINING CORP.MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,2011 3)Mineral Properties(continued)Viking,Newfoundland and Labrador,Canada anomalous gold mine
233、ralization including 11.8 meters grading 0.2 g/t gold and 47.5 meters grading 0.2 g/t gold.This hole demonstrates that the chargeability anomalies are associated with gold mineralization.4)Operating Results Year ended September 30,2011 compared to year ended September 30,2010 A summarized statement
234、of operations appears below to assist in the discussion that follows:Year ended September 30 2011 2010 General and administrative expenses$(177,459)$(229,706)Reporting to shareholders(31,121)(23,883)Professional fees(53,094)(38,589)Stock exchange and transfer agent fees(12,037)(11,905)Interest and o

237、he vendor.The Company chose to concentrate its efforts and financial resources on the Viking property,while the current year write-down pertains to costs incurred to investigate a property that was not acquired.The future income tax recoveries pertain to the tax effect of flow-through share renuncia
238、tions.The tax effect is recognized in the period in which the tax benefits are renounced to the shareholders.Since the Company had unrecognized tax benefits,a tax recovery was recorded to offset the future tax liability that would have been recorded in conjunction with the reduction in capital stock
239、.The gain on sale of mineral property resulted from the sale of the Companys remaining interests in the Douay,Quebec property.As the property had been written-down in a previous year,the full amount of the proceeds has been recognized in earnings.The unrealized gain(loss)on available-for-sale invest
240、ments results from adjusting the Companys holding in common shares and warrants of Vior Inc.to fair value at the respective year ends.Further,there was a realized loss on sale of investments in the current year as 400,000 of the Vior shares were sold during the year ended September 30,2011.Higher av
241、erage cash balances and higher interest rates contributed to the increase in interest income.The variances in general and administrative expenses and professional fees are discussed below:Year ended September 30 2011 2010 Administrative consulting fees$71,143$65,076 Stock-based compensation 4,000 51

244、ignificant contribution to decreased expenses pertained to the stock based compensation in the amount of$51,000 that was recognized in the comparative period.Stock based compensation of$4,000 was recorded in the current period.This is a non-cash expense item that results from valuing stock options g
245、ranted during the reporting periods.The$6,000 increase in administrative consulting costs relates primarily to increased time devoted to the International Financial Reporting Standards research and conversion.Travel and promotion costs increased due to the increased number of days the President spen
246、t in Newfoundland for a conference and attendance in Toronto to meet with potential investors during the current period.The President of the Company attended Mineral Exploration Round-up in Vancouver and PDAC in Toronto during both the current and comparative periods.The investor relations costs tha
247、t were incurred in both years pertained to the inclusion of corporate news in the mining section of the internet version of a newspaper.The higher expense in the previous period resulted from the Company paying for the email dissemination of news releases,with no comparable expenditure in the curren
248、t period.The following summarizes the components of professional fees included in the statement of earnings:Year ended September 30 2011 2010 Legal and filing fees$16,569$13,765 Audit fees 36,525 24,824 Total$53,094$38,589 Audit and accounting fees have increased due to the charge for the audit of o

254、OR THE YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,2011 4)Operating Results(continued)Three months ended September 30,2011 compared to three months ended September 30,2010 No investor relations activities were undertaken during the current period.Occupancy costs were higher in the current period because they included a
255、n operating cost adjustment relating to the prior year.As activity levels were lower in the current three month period than the prior three month period,there was a general decrease in many of the expenses.The following summarizes the components of professional fees included in the statement of earn

257、ptember 30,2011 was approximately$498,000,(Sept.30,2010-$912,000).Accounts receivable have decreased$33,000 from the September 30,2010 balance.The accounts receivable balance is primarily comprised of GST and HST input tax credits receivable.The exploration expenditures in the immediately preceding
258、quarter were higher in the comparative period,hence,so too were the input tax credits.Accounts payable and due to related parties decreased approximately$170,000 due to the significant exploration activity underway at September 30,2010 and consequent higher trade payables in the comparative balance
259、sheet.Cash has decreased$454,000 from September 30,2010.In the current period cash was augmented by the net proceeds from the private placement financing of$920,000,the receipt of a$100,000 Newfoundland and Labrador government exploration grant,cash proceeds on the sale of short-term investments of$
260、46,000 and the receipt of$75,000 in cash as partial consideration for the sale of mineral property interests in Quebec.In the comparative period warrant and option exercises for gross proceeds of$83,000,private placement financings netting$1,907,000 after share issue costs,the receipt of$40,000 cash
261、 in connection with the sale of Douay mineral property claims and the receipt of a$100,000 government exploration grant all contributed cash to the Company.During the year ended September 30,2011,the Company expended$720 on Part XII.6 tax,(2010-$7,400).Part XII.6 tax is essentially an interest charg
262、e assessed on unexpended flow-through funds in the situation where exploration costs are renounced to investors in the calendar year preceding the expenditure of these funds on qualifying exploration.The tax was accrued in the prior year financial statements and was paid in the current year.During t
263、he year ended September 30,2011,$1,332,000 of cash was expended on mineral property additions and exploration advances,(2010-$1,648,000).Administrative costs and site restoration costs in excess of interest and other income utilized$262,000 of cash during the year ended September 30,2011,(2010-$241,
264、000).The Company will have sufficient cash to finance the remainder of the planned 2011 exploration program as well as general and administrative expenses,reporting to shareholder costs,professional fees and stock exchange and transfer agent fees through fiscal 2012,assuming similar activity levels.
265、Additional financing will be required to fund a 2012 exploration program and operations beyond fiscal 2012.Management is continually assessing financing options.While the Company has successfully raised equity funds in the past,there are no guarantees that it will be able to do so in the future.As a
266、 result,there is significant risk regarding the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.The Companys financial statements do not reflect the adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying amount of reported assets,liabilities,revenues and expenses if the Company could not continue as a
267、going concern.Such adjustments could be material.7NORTHERN ABITIBI MINING CORP.MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,2011 6)Financing 2011 During the year ended September 30,2011,the Company closed a non-brokered private placement of 3,380,000 common units at a price of

283、e tax recovery in the amount of$361,000,(2010-$75,000,2009-$200,000),reduced the loss or increased earnings in arriving at Net and Comprehensive Income(Loss)for the year.The recovery pertains to flow-through expenditures renounced to flow-through investors.During fiscal 2011 the Company reported a g
284、ain on sale of mineral property of$172,500,(2010-$86,000,2009-$Nil).Other Comprehensive Income(Loss)pertaining to the revaluation of marketable securities from period-to-period resulted in a$34,500 loss in 2011,($8,000 gain-2010),being included in Net and Comprehensive Income(Loss).11)Selected Quart

290、ins on sale of mineral properties and stock-based compensation expenses as well as tax recoveries associated with tax-effecting flow-through shares.Future income tax recoveries pertain to the application of unrecognized future tax benefits to reduce the future tax liability that is recorded when tax
291、 benefits are renounced to flow-through share investors.The renunciations,if applicable,occur in Q2 of any given year.The amount will vary depending upon the quantum of flow-through financings in a year.The timing of the Companys mineral property write-offs and gains on sale of mineral properties,as
292、 applicable,cannot be predicted in advance and will vary from one reporting period to the next.As a result,there may be dramatic changes in the financial results and balance sheet position reported by the Company.Stock-based compensation can also comprise a significant portion of a loss in any quart
293、er.Compensation is recorded when stock options are granted and have vested;the timing and amount of such grants can vary from year to year.During Q2,2010,$51,000 and during Q3,2011$4,000 of stock-based compensation is included in the respective periods losses.Expenses are generally greater in the se
294、cond quarter of each year as annual report and other annual mailings,as well as annual meeting costs tend to be incurred almost exclusively in this period.This results in a higher loss before mineral property write-offs and income tax recoveries in Q2 relative to other quarters.The loss before miner
295、al property write-offs,gains on sale and income tax recoveries in Q4 will be higher than most quarters due to the accrual of audit fees.The fourth quarter of 2010 was the first period during which the Company had marketable securities.The Company received common shares and warrants in a publicly tra
296、ded Company as partial consideration for the sale of a mineral property interest in 2010 and additional shares in Q2,2011 for the sale of its remaining claims.Comprehensive Income(Loss)will fluctuate as the carrying value of these investments is adjusted to fair value at the respective period ends a
297、nd the unrealized gain or loss is included in Comprehensive Income(Loss).Further,realized gains(losses)will be recorded when these investments are sold.12)Directors and Officers Shane Ebert Director and President Douglas Cageorge Director Jean Pierre Jutras Director and Vice-President Shari Difley C

302、ote 7 to the financial statements for capital stock and warrant transactions during the year ended September 30,2011 and balances as at that date.From September 30,2011 to December 6,2011 there were no changes to capital stock or warrants.b)Stock Options Refer to Note 7(c)to the financial statements
303、 for details of the options outstanding at September 30,2011 and option transactions for the period then ended.During the period from September 30,2011 to December 6,2011,no options were granted or exercised and none expired.15)Outlook The Companys primary objective is to discover mineral resources
304、in economic quantities capable of supporting an operating mine.Should the Company discover such a promising property,it would likely attempt to ally with a more senior mining company that might option-in on the property or purchase the property outright,as the Company does not have expertise in oper
305、ating a mine.The Company is compiling all exploration data from the Viking project,prioritizing the numerous exploration targets on the property and formulating plans to advance the project.Several high grade gold shoots have been identified along the Thor Trend and elsewhere on the property and the
306、se high grade zones will require closely spaced drilling or possibly underground exploration development to delineate them.16)Risks The success of the Companys business is subject to a number of factors including,but not limited to:a)Substantial expenditures are required to explore for mineral reser
307、ves and the chances of identifying economical reserves are extremely small.b)The junior resource market,where the Company raises funds,is extremely volatile and there is no guarantee that the Company will be able to raise funds as it requires.The Company may be forced to raise funds at a low share p
308、rice resulting in increased dilution for current shareholders.c)Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to the mineral properties in which it has an interest or in which it is earning an interest,there is no guarantee that the properties will not be subject to title disputes or undetect
309、ed defects.d)The Company is subject to laws and regulations relating to environmental matters,including provisions relating to reclamation,discharge of hazardous materials,and other matters.The Company conducts its exploration activities in compliance with applicable environmental protection legisla
310、tion and is not aware of any existing environmental problems that may cause a material liability to the Company,however changes to legislation could result in the Company being offside at some point in the future.e)The Company is in competition with exploration companies with greater financial resou
311、rces.This can hamper its ability to acquire certain exploration properties,attract joint venture parties and attract equity financing.Further,the Company must compete with these other companies to acquire contractors to perform certain exploration such as drilling.These contractors will often favor
312、a larger project,making it more difficult for the Company to obtain their services.f)The price of base and precious metals is highly volatile.Changes in these prices can alter the desirability of an exploration property,and feasibility of spending exploration dollars on it.Further,changes in commodi
313、ty prices can affect the stock price of the Company.g)The Company is dependent upon certain key personnel.Loss of any of these people could have a material adverse effect on the Company and its business.This is somewhat mitigated from a geological perspective by having a qualified geologist in each
314、of the President and Vice-President roles.h)The Company has a history of losses due to its status as an exploration company,with no production from mineral properties.Its ultimate success will depend on its ability to generate cash flow from producing properties at some point in the future,or altern
315、atively from a disposition of its interests.11NORTHERN ABITIBI MINING CORP.MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,2011 17)Critical Accounting Estimates The most significant accounting estimate for the Company relates to the carrying value of its mineral property assets.M
316、ineral properties consist of exploration and mining concessions.Acquisition and leasehold costs and exploration costs are capitalized and deferred until such time as the property is put into production or the properties are disposed of either through sales or abandonments.The estimated values of all
317、 properties are assessed by management on a quarterly basis by reference to project economics,including the timing of the exploration and/or development work,the work programs and exploration results experienced by the Company and others,and the extent to which optionees have committed,or are expect
318、ed to commit to,exploration on the property.When it becomes apparent that the carrying value of a specific property will not be realized,based on the foregoing criteria,an impairment provision is made for the decline in value.The Companys estimate for asset retirement obligations is based on existin
319、g laws,contracts or other policies.The value of the obligation is based on estimated future costs for abandonments and reclamations.By their nature,these estimates are subject to measurement uncertainty.Another significant accounting estimate relates to valuing stock-based compensation and warrants.
320、The Company uses the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model.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
321、necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Companys stock options granted and vested,or warrants issued,during the year.The Company estimates the fair value of marketable securities categorized as available-for-sale at each period end as they are carried at fair value in
322、the Balance Sheet.The Company uses the closing price of the common shares on the period-end date and uses the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model discussed above to estimate the value of its investment in warrants.The price at which these instruments can ultimately be sold will vary from these estima
323、tes due to the timing of their sale,the volume of trading in the securities at any given time and changes in the market over time,among other factors.18)New Accounting Policies International Financial Reporting Standards In February,2008,the Canadian Accounting Standards Board,(AcSB),announced that
324、interim and annual financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1,2011 must be prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards,(IFRS).Accordingly the Company will be required to present their financial statements during the fiscal year ended Sep
325、tember 30,2012 in accordance with IFRS and will be required to restate the fiscal 2011 comparatives that are included in each of the quarters and the year-end financial statements for fiscal 2012.Conversion Plan The Company has a transition plan that they have divided into three phases;research and
326、planning,accounting policy assessment and determination,and implementation and review.The Company has completed the research and planning and the assessment and determination phases given the current IFRS standards.This included determining accounting policies that would be adopted and whether optio
327、nal exemptions would be utilized.The differences between Canadian GAAP and IFRS can be adequately addressed within the current accounting system through additional general ledger accounts that will keep track of valuation adjustments and retain original cost history.As IFRS rules and standards are c
328、ontinually changing,and the Company plans to review and evaluate the first IFRS financial statements issued by calendar year companies,certain accounting policies or methods of accounting may be revised between now and the first IFRS reporting period for the Company.12NORTHERN ABITIBI MINING CORP.MA
329、NAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,2011 18)New Accounting Policies(continued)International Financial Reporting Standards The implementation and review phase is expected to be complete by December 31,2011.The Company will issue its first interim financial statements pre
330、pared in accordance with IFRS for its first quarter of fiscal 2012,(the three months ended December 31,2011),with comparatives restated to be in accordance with IFRS.Significant Differences between Current Canadian GAAP and IFRS The following discussion summarizes certain of the differences between
331、Canadian GAAP and IFRS that are expected to affect future financial statements and should not be considered exhaustive or conclusive,as IFRS rules and regulations are continually changing.Mineral Exploration Properties The single largest financial statement amount in the Companys financial statement
332、s tends to be the carrying cost if its mineral exploration properties,which is comprised of a combination of capitalized exploration expenditures and acquisition costs.The International Accounting Standards Board,(IASB),Framework would dictate that exploration expenditures be expensed because such c
333、osts would not meet the strict definition of an asset.However,IFRS 6 allows the retention of accounting policies that have been previously applied.IFRS 6 cannot be applied to expenditures incurred prior to obtaining the legal rights to explore a specific area or after the technical feasibility study and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource is demonstrated.If a capitalization polic
