Das sich zur Zeit bei Maxi wenig tut liegt vieleicht auch daran, das die User sich mitlerweile
gut eingedeckt haben und in Lauerstellung sind.
Denn selbst wenn Du welche kaufen willst, so kann es gut sein das Du lange warten kannst.
Vieleicht bekommst Du dann auch gar keine.
Ich warte gespannt auf die News, in diesem Monat noch.
Zweitens wird das Bohrprogramm fast nur von MAX finanziert und somit trägt MAX das höhere Risiko.
Was aber natürlich MAX einen höheren Hebel bringt bei einem richtigen Trefer.
"Habe mit dem management gesprochen - 3.Probebohrung ist fertig gestellt - bei der 4. gabs Probleme mit dem Bohrer - daraufhin wurde eine groessere Maschine beordert die Gott sei Dank auch kurzfristig zur verfuegung stand und seit 4 tagen arbeitet - sobald die vierte Bohrung ausgewertet wird kommen news - gehe mal davon aus dass dies in rund 2 Wochen der Fall sein wird - vielleicht veroeffentlichen sie in der Zwischenzeit die Ergebnisse des dritten holes mit einem kleinen update - man muss eben ein bischen Geduld mitbringen bei juniors - mich interessiert als Fondmanager - wo steht der Kurs am Jahresende - und meine PERSOENLICHE Einschaetzung ist dass dies hoeher sein wird wie 0,80$ wo wir im Moment in Canada stehen.
Cheers

Ich weiß jetzt kommt wieder, "der kann viel erzählen" und so weiter aber ich verfolge das WO Forum schon länger bezüglich MAX und NFX und dieser User scheint wirklich Kontakt zu Management zu haben (arbeitet wohl bei einer Investmentbank im gleichen Gebäude wie Maximus oder NFX sitzen). Die Einschätzung zum Kurs bezieht sich auf NFX.
Dies hier spiegelt nicht meine Meinung wieder (hoffe auch News kommen früher), ist nur als Info gedacht.

Maximus war nie 30 CAD wert, schon gar nicht 1998, siehe unten. Unser Liebling wurde spaeter gegruendet. Natuerlich sind auch mehr Leute investiert als hier aktiv. Gleichwohl ist es eben ein Penny-Stock (z.Zt. zumindest) und es sind massiv viele Daytrader drin gewesen. Um so erfreulicher wie stabil sich der Kurs haelt. Ich halte ein kurzfristiges Ziel (ende des Jahres) von 3 CAD fuer voellig ueberzogen. Wir koennen froh sein, wenn wir die 1 CAD sehen (bin da nicht allzu optimistisch), vor allem duerfen wir auch nicht die Kursschankungen EUR/CAD vergessen, wenn wir uns den Deutschen Kurs anschauen.
Wie schon von anderen erwaehnt ist das Kritische von Maximus bei Funden, wie deren Strategie aussieht selbige zu heben (Tiefe, und damit Kosten usw.). Einen kurzfristigen Hype koennte ein Merge mit Nfx bedingen. Aber ob der wirklich gewollt ist? Was waeren die Vorteile? (auch im Hinblick auf den Kurs)... mir hat sich das noch nicht erschlossen. Besitzen ja eh schon 60%.
In der Tat ist NFX noch staerker im Sog der Daytrader und somit erklaeren sich hier die staerkeren Kurschwankungen ... Glaube aber schon, dass wir unter enger Beobachtung stehen und nicht nur von uns selber gelesen werden ;-)

NEWS RELEASE
PRIVATE PLACEMENT RAISES $255,000
Mr. Ian Rozier, President, is pleased to announce that subject to approval by the TSX Venture Exchange, the Company has arranged a non-brokered private placement of 1,700,000 units at Cdn$0.15 per unit. Each unit will consist of one common share and one share purchase warrant. Each warrant will entitle the holder to purchase an additional share for two years at Cdn$0.20 per share.
In accordance with the current policies of the TSX Venture Exchange the 1,700,000 units will be subject to a 12-month hold period. There are no bonuses, finders fees or commissions to be paid in connection with the private placement.
Proceeds from the private placement will be applied to working capital and mineral property evaluations and are sufficient for the company to fund its business plan. As part of the companies reactivation plan the company's share capital was consolidated in April 2002. With the arrangement of this non-brokered private placement, the Company is now conducting due diligence on several mineral properties with a view to making an acquisition that will meet Tier 2 TMR requirements.

Mein letzte AG, bei der ich in Deutschland arbeitete gab es auch schlaumeier die alles Moegliche (und das ist woertliche zu nehmen) gepostet haben. Das war alles Flurgefluester.
Auswertungen dauern doch schon laenger als 2 Wochen ... insofern ...
aber nun gut ... ich bleibe ja bei meiner Meinung, dass wir wie auch immer kurzfristig bei new 0,30-0,35 EUR sehen und dann rauschen wir wieder auf die 0,20 hin. Es bedarf einfach wirklich grosser News und Strategien und die sehe ich erst fruehstens in einem Jahr, wenn alle Bohrungen erledigt sind. Weiss auch nicht wie die die 26 Bohrungen noch dieses Jahr durchbekommen wollen, bei dem jetzigen Tempo ist das nicht zu halten ...

aber lasst euch nicht beunruhigen, bei diesen minimal Umsätzen heute bei Maximus, gerade drei mal gehandelt den Tag über, da ist es nichts seltsames das der Kurs so abrutscht! Da hat mal wieder einer, der nichts weiß, seine Aktien zu billig Preisen hergegeben!
Falls noch jemand Interesse hat, ich kaufe alles unter 0,20! :-)))
Kurse um die 0,15 scheinen mir mittlerweile durchaus realistisch.
Dass andere vielversprechende News kommen denke ich nicht, weil die Firma nach eigenen Angaben ja nur an den aktuellen Bohrungen und deren Auswertungen mit voller Kraft arbeitet und sonst ja nix mehr wirklich großes zustaden bringen dürfte.
Und dass alle Löcher bis Jahresende ausgwertet sind wenn das Tempo so weiter geht erscheint doch nicht nur fraglich zu sein, sondern unmöglich, oder täusch ich mich????
Aber vielleicht kommt doch alles anders und ich liege völlig falsch mit meinen Annahmen. Bin jedenfalls selbst zu 0,26 eingestiegen und werde nicht mehr nachkaufen ausser der Kurs fällt tatsächlich auf die 0,15!
Viel Erfolg weiterhin!!!
Die news können täglich kommen! und wenn man sich den newsflow von maximus so ansieht, faäält auf das sie jedes monat news raus gebracht haben! der monat hat nur noch drei tage! rein statistisch gesehn müssten also bald welche kommen, kann mich aber auch irren!
also hier die Antworten auf meine Fragen, die ich absichtlich etwas provokativ gestellt hatte ...
Klingt doch alles recht gut. In meinen Annahmen bzgl. der Timeline sehe ich mich aber bestaetigt. Ein Jaehrchen werden wir uns schon goennen muessen.

Please see responses to your various questions below:
Dear Mr Graybeal,
thx for your prompt answer. Actually I am quite confused regarding the different roles of NFX and Maximus. Our understanding in Germany is that you own 60% of NFX, however we are quite confused that regarding the stock exchange NFX is performing quite better and we often see high sells and buys while with Maximus there is no real activity neither in Toronto nor in Frankfurt.
Maximus does not own 60% of NFX. Maximus has an option to earn 60% of the NFX interests at Larder Lake by making expenditures over a 3 year period with certain yearly ongoing requirements. The details are in various news releases on our website. Maximus owns about 17% of NFX shares that were acquired when Maximus converted 8 million NFX warrants to shares. That's also in a news release. We are aware of the much better performance of the NFX shares and have been puzzled by this ever since the joint venture option was signed. It is cause for considerable debate in Maximus.
Are you allowed to explain your plans regarding the strategy of NFX? Are you planning a road show to get investors into Maximus?
Our strategy is to build value in Maximus by the discovery of new precious metal deposits or expanding and improving the quality of existing resources such as at Larder Lake. The drill strategy at Larder Lake has been briefly, but completely described in our recent news releases on that property. We have discussed a road show to Europe, but think a Fall timing would be better than at present. The idea of a tour will also be guided by results of drilling and the thoughts of professionals such as yourself.
Is Maximus listed on other exchange markets or in Toronto and Germany only.
There are no other listings that we know of.
Thanks for your interest. We are very aware of the disconnect between MXV and NFX and consider that MXV is undervalued. We also consider that there is no better way to bring greater value, value that can be sustained, than to make a discovery or obtain additional ore grade drill intersections. We do spend considerable time on the phone and in person with investors in North America, but also are very aware of the increased interest from Europe and there is a very considerable exchange on the subject within the board. That's the best I can do now, writing from Reno, NV during my most recent trip to the field to look at new opportunities. All our news releases have been posted on our website.

Aber wir sollten uns nicht staendig auf Wochen und Monate hinaus vertroesten!
Das naechste Bohrergebnis steht unmittelbar bevor.
Er spricht also von Herbst. Ich hoffe ermeint Herbst diesen Jahres. Roadshow werden Sie wohl nur initieren, wenn Sie bis dahin auch validere und noch bessere Ergebnisse haben ;-). Insofern sind das doch gut News.
Habe eben ueber den Ozean meine Meinung geschickt, dass Maxi sich mir Ihrer Homepage besser positionieren koennte (z.B. wie NFX mit einer Powerpoint-Praesentation usw.)
Schauen wir mal

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the three and nine month periods ended JUNE 30, 2006
(Unaudited – prepared by management)
1. NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS
Maximus Ventures Ltd. (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of British Columbia, Canada. The
Company is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. To date, the Company has
not earned significant revenues and is considered to be in the exploration stage.
The Company is in the process of exploring its mineral properties and has not yet determined whether the properties
contain reserves that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of the amounts shown for mineral properties
and related deferred exploration costs are dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the
ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete the development of those reserves and upon future
profitable production.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted
accounting principles with the assumption that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its
liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The continuing operations of the Company are
dependent upon its ability to continue to raise adequate financing and to commence profitable operations in the
future.
These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and
classification of recorded assets amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company
be unable to continue in existence.

Operating results for the nine month period ended June 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may
be expected for the year ending September 30, 2006. These interim financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and follow the

During the year ended September 30, 2004, Miramar Mining Corporation (“Miramar”) and the Company entered
into an option agreement whereby the Company can earn a 75% interest in the Eastern Contact and Twin Peaks
areas. On March 20, 2006, the Company amended certain terms of the option agreement with Miramar. The
amended terms are reflected in the deferred exploration expenditures, all other terms remained constant. The Eastern
Contact block has been dropped and the Chicago claim block has been added.
To earn its interest, the Company is required to:
a) Issue 5,000,000 shares over a three year period (3,000,000 issued).
b) Incur $7,250,000 in expenditures over three years, with scheduled minimum cumulative expenditures of
$3,250,000 by April 30, 2007, $5,250,000 by April 30, 2008 and $7,250,000 by April 30, 2009.
Additionally, the Company is required to issue up to 16,500,000 shares as follows:
a) Issue 1,500,000 shares following the reporting of the first 2,500,000 ounces of gold in measured, indicated or
inferred resources;

b) Issue 7,500,000 shares over three tranches upon the first, second and third million ounces reported as a
measured and/or indicated resource;
c) Issue 2,500,000 shares on delivery of a positive feasibility study; and
d) Issue 5,000,000 shares upon reaching production.
Miramar will have a one-time right to buy back up to a 50% interest and become operator by paying the Company
150% of the Company’s proportionate exploration costs for the percentage being acquired.

Overview
The Company is engaged in the exploration for gold-silver properties. Its primary assets are an option to
earn a 75 percent joint venture interest with Miramar Mining Corporation (“Miramar”) in two properties in
the Hope Bay gold belt in Nunavut and an option to earn a 60 percent joint venture interest in interests
held by NFX Gold Corporation (“NFX”). in the Larder Lake area of eastern Ontario. The Company is also
conducting field reviews and has initiated acquisition of mineral rights on several early stage precious
metal properties in Nevada in the United States.
Highlights of the Third Quarter
• On May 23, 2006, the Company completed a $4.25 million private equity financing. The
financing was comprised on 5 million units at a price of $0.40 per unit and 4.5 million flowthrough
common shares at a price of $0.50 per share. The units consist of one common share and
one-half of one share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to one additional
common share of the Company at a price of $0.60 per share until November 23, 2007.
• Drilling resumed at the Larder Lake gold project in eastern Ontario in late May.
• Exploration field work resumed at the Hope Bay gold project in Nunavut in May.
• Subsequent to the quarter, on July 4, 2006 the Company acquired 8 million common shares of
NFX under the terms of an option and joint venture agreement.
Exploration Activities
• Hope Bay Project, Nunavut
During the year ended September 30, 2004, the Company entered into an option agreement with Miramar
whereby the Company can earn a 75% interest in the Eastern Contact and Twin Peaks areas in the Hope
Bay gold belt in Nunavut. The Eastern Contact and Twin Peaks claim blocks cover 115 square kilometers
in the northern part of the Hope Bay gold belt. Exploration work at Hope Bay is done by Miramar under
contract to the Company. On March 20, 2006, the Company amended the terms of the agreement to
include an option on the Chicago claim block of Hope Bay. The Chicago claim block at the southwest end
of the Hope Bay Gold Belt was determined to have potential for both gold and base metal mineralization.
Page 2 of 8
Exploration funding terms were amended to require cumulative expenditures of at least $3,250,000 by
April 30, 2007, $5,250,000 by April 30, 2008, and $7,250,000 by April 30, 2009 to earn a 75% interest in
the Chicago and Twin Peaks claim blocks. Other terms in the Agreement remain unchanged and the field
work will continue to be carried out by Miramar under the direction of the Company.
In May, geophysical and geochemical surveys were started at Twin Peaks and Chicago. Work consisted of
ground magnetic and to map rock contacts under post-mineral cover and electromagnetic surveys to locate
conductive zones that may be carrying pyrite, a mineral commonly associated with gold at Hope Bay.
Upon completion of these surveys data will be analyzed to determine if drill targets are present. Work was
ongoing at the end of the quarter.
• Larder Lake Project, Ontario
On March 7, 2006 the Company completed an option and joint venture agreement with NFX to acquire a
60% interest in the Cheminis, Bear Lake and Fenland properties and a 45% interest in the Barber Larder
property, collectively the Larder Lake properties in Ontario. Under the agreement, the Company would
earn a 60% interest in the Larder Lake property by expending $6,000,000 on or for the benefit of the
property by December 31, 2008. Minimum expenditures must total $1,200,000 by December 31, 2006.
Also, NFX was to issue 8,000,000 NFX warrants expiring in annual blocks or under certain market share
price thresholds. Subsequent to the quarter, on July 4, 2006 the Company acquired 8,000,000 common
shares of NFX under the terms of an option and joint venture agreement.
The Larder Lake project extends about 6 kilometers along the Kirkland Lake-Cadillac fault zone, a
regional scale geologic structure that includes the Cheminis mine at Larder Lake and numerous other gold
occurrences and mines. Drilling in December 2005 and January 2006 identified several additional fault
zones as targets for further drilling. Results of the December and January drilling were reported in a news
release dated February 7, 2006.
Drilling resumed in late May 2006 as reported in a news release dated June 5, 2006. Three objectives were
identified for the 2006 drill program:
1. High grade mineralization below and adjacent to the Cheminis gold mine and the
Fernland and Bear Lake prospects,
2. Shallow, near-surface zones of gold mineralization for resources that might be mined in
an open pit, and
3. Gold targets on the regional faults identified during the 2005 drilling program.
At the end of June, 2006 1,109 meters of diamond drilling had been completed in 3 holes.
Financing Activities
• Private Equity Financing
On May 24, 2006 the Company completed a private equity placement which had raised gross proceeds of
$4,250,000. The private placement comprised 4,500,000 flow-through common shares of the Company at
a price of $0.50 per share and 5,000,000 units of the Company at a price of $0.40 per unit, each unit
consisting of one common share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant. Each whole share
purchase warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one additional common share of the Company
until November 23, 2007, at an exercise price of $0.60 per share. However, if the trading price of the
shares of the Company closes at or above $0.80 per share for 20 consecutive trading days any time after
September 24, 2006, then the Company will have the right to provide written notice to the warrant holders
to exercise all unexercised warrants within 30 days or the warrants will be cancelled. No flow-through
Page 3 of 8
benefits attach to any common shares comprising the units or any common shares issuable upon the
exercise of the common share purchase warrants.
In consideration for completing the private placement the brokers were paid a cash commission totalling
$255,000 and granted non-transferable Agents' Warrants exercisable to purchase a total of up to 570,000
common shares of the Company until November 23, 2007, at an exercise price of $0.45 per share. All of
the shares and warrants, and any shares issued upon exercise thereof, issued with respect to the private
placement are subject to a four-month hold period expiring September 24, 2006, and may not be traded
except as permitted under applicable securities legislation and the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange.
The proceeds of the flow-through shares sold under the private placement, in the amount of $2,250,000,
will be used for exploration of the Company’s gold projects near Larder Lake in eastern Ontario and at
Hope Bay in Nunavut and must be expended as qualifying CEE expenses by December 31, 2007 in
accordance with the Income Tax Act (Canada). The proceeds of the units sold under the private placement
will be used for working capital.
• Acquisition of NFX Units
On April 21, 2006 the Company announced the acquisition of common share purchase warrants of NFX
exercisable to acquire in the aggregate up to 8,000,000 common shares of NFX, which would represent, if
exercised, approximately 17.2% of the issued and outstanding common shares of NFX. The NFX warrants
were acquired pursuant to the option and joint venture agreement between the Company and NFX dated
March 3, 2006 whereby the Company was granted an option to acquire interests in the NFX Larder Lake
properties in Ontario by incurring expenditures over a three-year period. The Company owned no
securities of NFX prior to the option and joint venture agreement. Subsequent to the quarter, on July 4,
2006 the Company acquired 8 million common shares of NFX Gold Corporation (“NFX”) under the terms
of an option and joint venture agreement.
Results of Operations

$334,206 during the nine months ended June 30, 2005. The decreased loss in the current period is
primarily a result of a decrease in management and consulting fees. This was a result of certain
management and consulting contracts that were terminated in the previous year.
During the nine months ended June 30, 2006, the Company incurred Property Acquisition and Deferred
Exploration Costs of $1,393,987 (September 30, 2005 - $1,370,471).

activity undertaking during the current quarter compared to 2005, which included the Company
completing of the $4.25 million private placement and the Larder Lake property acquisition. Most other
expense items decreased in the nine months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the previous period.

Company also incurred $150,000 in deferred exploration expenditures on Hope Bay.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company started 2006 with working capital of about $1,500,000 and had working capital as at June
30, 2006 of approximately $4,000,000. Exploration and administrative expenditures incurred during the
nine months ended June 30, 2006 were funded from cash generated by the transactions noted below:
a) The Company completed a brokered private placement consisting of 5 million units of the
Company at $0.40 per unit and 4.5 million flow-through common shares of the Company at $0.50
per share. The units consist of one common share and one-half of one share purchase warrant.
Each whole warrant entitles the holder to one additional common shares of the Company at a price
of $0.60 per share for a period of 18 months. In connection with this private placement, a finder’s
fee of $255,000 and 570,000 warrants each exercisable for one share at a price of $0.45 per share
for an 18 month period.
b) The Company issued 1,383,316 common shares on the exercise of warrants for proceeds of
$276,663.
For the year ending September 30, 2006, the Company anticipates incurring exploration and property
maintenance expenditures on each of the Company’s held projects. The Company has sufficient working
capital to sustain operations for the next fiscal year. The Company’ main sources of financing are through
issuances of equity.
The Company does not anticipate generating revenues in the near future and intends to continue its mineral
exploration activities. These activities, along with further mineral acquisitions, may need to be funded
through additional equity financings.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The most significant estimates are related to the physical and economic lives of mineral assets, and their
recoverability.
Mineral properties and deferred exploration costs
The Company records its interests in mineral properties and areas of geological interest at cost. All direct
and indirect costs relating to the acquisition of these interests are capitalized on the basis of specific claim
blocks or areas of geological interest until the properties to which they relate are placed into production,
sold or management has determined there to be impairment. These costs will be amortized on the basis of
Page 6 of 8
units produced in relation to the proven reserves available on the related property following
commencement of production. Mineral properties which are sold before that property reaches the
production stage will have all revenues from the sale of the property credited against the cost of the
property. Properties which have reached the production stage will have a gain or loss calculated based on
the portion of that property sold.
The recorded cost of mineral exploration interests is based on cash paid, the assigned value of share
considerations and exploration and development costs incurred. The recorded amount may not reflect
recoverable value as this will be dependant on the development program, the nature of the mineral deposit,
commodity prices, adequate funding and the ability of the Company to bring its projects into production.
Property option agreements
From time to time, the Company may acquire or dispose of properties pursuant to the terms of option

the payments are made or received.
Cost of maintaining mineral properties
The Company does not accrue the estimated future costs of maintaining its mineral properties in good
standing.
Environmental protection and reclamation costs
Liabilities related to environmental protection and reclamation costs are accrued and charged to income
when their likelihood of occurrence is established. This includes future removal and site restoration costs
as required due to environmental law or contracts.

Outlook
The Company has sufficient financial resources to meet December 31, 2006 expenditure requirements at
Larder Lake, to drill at Hope Bay until the exploration season ends, and to continue reconnaissance for
new exploration opportunities well into 2007, if justified by the results of ongoing work programs. The
Company expects to initiate drilling at the Hope Bay project in Nunavut during the fourth quarter
subsequent to receiving recommendations from Miramar Mining Corporation based on results of magnetic,
electromagnetic, and geochemical surveys.
On July 18, 2006 the Company announced the results of initial assaying from diamond drilling at the
Larder Lake project in eastern Ontario where two diamond drill holes (1150 meters) were completed and a
third hole was started in western part of the Larder Lake Property. Assays reported were as follows:
Hole Numbers From (m) To (m) Length (m) (1) Gold (g/t) (2) Mineralization
Type (3)
PR-06-13 301.15 303.40 2.25 3.88 Flow
including 302.10 302.40 0.30 15.63 Flow
PR-06-15 371.60 375.65 4.05 5.12 Flow
including 372.15 374.40 2.25 7.30 Flow
And 483.40 487.75 4.35 5.69 Carbonate
including 484.35 485.75 1.40 10.18 Carbonate
Notes:
(1) Meters. Length is reported in meters of drilled core and is not necessarily the "true" width.
(2) Au g/t. Gold grades are reported in units of grams per tonne gold. All gold assays were performed by Expert
Laboratories in Rouyn, QC using standard fire assaying protocols. Assay results from the 2006 drill program are
considered accurate, precise and free of contamination as determined from assay results of quality control certified
reference standards, field blank standards and duplicate samples submitted during the program. Core recovery
generally exceeded 95%. All other assays are less than 1.00 g/t Au
(3) Flow - contains abundant pyrite in altered volcanic rock. Carbonate - contains abundant ankerite, quartz veins,
occasional visible gold, and only minor pyrite.
Drilling is continuing at the project. Most of the holes planned for the 2006 program will be widely spaced
and designed to test areas with few or no previously known drill holes. Assays may not be easily
correlated with other holes in the project area so their importance may be difficult to interpret until
additional drilling is completed. As a matter of policy for reporting assays in the future, the Company will
release all assay results from the drill program either when the drilling has been completed or at such
earlier time as the Company deems the results to be material or considers that results can be presented in
the correct geological context.
Subsequent Events
Subsequent to June 30, 2006, the following events occurred:
a) On July 7, 2006 the Company acquired 8,000,000 common shares of NFX upon exercise of
warrants acquired under an option and joint venture agreement.
To exercise the warrants the Company borrowed $2,000,000 from Laurentian Mountain Investment Ltd.
(“LMI”), a private company controlled by the chairman and director of the Company. The LMI loan is

unsecured, non-interest bearing and is to be repaid from the first $2,000,000 of proceeds from the sale of
NFX shares. The terms of the LMI loan agreement provide for the issuance to LMI of 500,000 common
shares of The Company (issued) and the right to a 10% participation in net proceeds from the sale of NFX
shares after repayment of the loan principal, up to a maximum of $200,000.
The Company has also signed an option agreement with Kodiak International Inc. (“Kodiak”), which gives
Kodiak a 90 day option to purchase from the Company in whole or in part in multiples of 500,000 shares,
8,000,000 shares of NFX at an average price of $0.725 per share.
Other MD&A Requirements
As of August 14, 2006, the Company has:
a) 46,792,330 common shares outstanding;
b) 1,400,000 stock options outstanding with exercise prices ranging from $0.10 to $0.30 and expiring
from November 2009 to March 2011; and
