(Formerly Punchline Resources Ltd.)

(A Development Stage Company)

Condensed Notes to Unaudited Interim Financial Statements

January 31, 2014

1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

Northern Minerals & Exploration Ltd. (the “Company”) is a Nevada corporation incorporated on December 11, 2006 under the name Punchline Entertainment, Inc. On August 22, 2012, the Company’s board of directors approved an agreement and plan of merger to merge with and into the Company’s newly created wholly-owned subsidiary Punchline Resources Ltd., a Nevada corporation, to effect a name change of the Company from Punchline Entertainment, Inc. to Punchline Resources Ltd. Punchline Resources Ltd. was formed solely for the change of name. On August 30, 2012, the Company filed Articles of Merger with the Nevada Secretary of State for the name change. The Financial Industry Regulation Authority (“FINRA”) approved the name change on September 7, 2012.

On July 12, 2013, the stockholders approved an amendment to change the name of the Company from Punchline Resources Ltd. to Northern Mineral & Exploration Ltd. FINRA approved the name change on August 13, 2013.

On September 19, 2013, the current Secretary, Ramzan Savji, resigned and a new Company Secretary, Roger Autrey, was appointed. Ramzan Savji remains as the Chief Executive Officer and a Director.

The Company was originally started as a company involved in the placing of strength testing amusement gaming machines called Boxers in venues such as bars, pubs and night clubs in the Seattle area, in the State of Washington. The Company had acquired one Boxer that had been placed in Lynwood, Washington. The machine was de-commissioned as it needed material repairs. As sufficient capital could not be secured for these repairs, management decided to change the Company’s business focus to mineral exploration.

On September 7, 2012 the Company entered into a mineral lease agreement with MinQuest, Inc. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the Company has acquired 100% of the exploration and mining rights to 58 unpatented mining claims in Esmeralda County, Nevada approximately 26 miles south of Goldfield in the Tokop mining district for a period of 20 years known as the Empress Property.

Effective September 14, 2012, the Company entered into an option agreement (as amended and restated on November 15, 2012, February 1, 2013 and August 26, 2013) with AHL Holdings Ltd., a Nevada corporation, and Golden Sands Exploration Inc., a company incorporated under the laws of British Columbia, Canada, wherein the Company acquired an option to purchase a 80% interest in and to certain mining claims from AHL Holdings and Golden Sands, which claims form the Winnemucca Mountain Property in Humboldt County in Nevada.

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim consolidated financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2014. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s July 31, 2013 financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s 10-K Annual Report.

Going Concern and Liquidity Considerations

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements are prepared and presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Accordingly, they do not include any adjustments relating to the realization of the carrying value of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Since inception to date, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $461,143. The Company intends to fund operations through equity financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund its capital expenditures, working capital and other cash requirements for the next six months ending July 31, 2014.

Northern Minerals & Exploration Ltd.

(Formerly Punchline Resources Ltd.)

(A Development Stage Company)

Condensed Notes to Unaudited Interim Financial Statements

January 31, 2014

The ability of the Company to emerge from the development stage is dependent upon, among other things, revenues and obtaining additional financing to continue operations.

These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a) Basis of Presentation

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP) applicable to development stage companies.

b) Fiscal Periods

The Company’s fiscal year end is July 31.

c) Use of Estimates

The preparation of unaudited interim financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

d) Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks, money market funds, and certificates of term deposits with maturities of less than three months from inception, which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which, in the opinion of management, are subject to an insignificant risk of loss in value. As at January 31, 2014, cash and cash equivalents of $442 (July 31, 2013 - $(275)) was held as bank balance.

e) Financial Instruments and Risk Concentrations

The Company’s financial instruments comprise cash and cash equivalents, loan receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, notes payable and convertible loan. Unless otherwise indicated, the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities approximate their recorded values due to their short terms to maturity. The Company determines the fair value of its long-term financial instruments based on quoted market values or discounted cash flow analyses. Financial instruments that may potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk comprise primarily cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Cash and cash equivalents comprise deposits with major commercial banks and/or checking account balances. With respect to accounts receivable, the Company performs periodic credit evaluations of the financial condition of its customers and typically does not require collateral from them. Allowances are maintained for potential credit losses consistent with the credit risk of specific customers and other information. Unless otherwise noted, it is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest or currency risks in respect of its financial instruments.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – Continued

f) Foreign Currency Translation

The financial statements are presented in US dollars. In accordance with Statement ofFinancial Accounting Standards the Company maintains its accounting records in U.S. dollars,which is the functional, and reporting currency. The resulting foreign exchange gains andlosses are included in operations. Foreign exchange gain amounted to $125 for the six months ended January 31, 2014 (January 31, 2013 – loss of $2,288).

g) Income Taxes

The Company accounts for its income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes”,which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequencesattributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assetsand liabilities and their respective tax bases and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

h) Basic and Diluted (Loss) per Share

The Company reports earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, "Earnings perShare." Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) available tocommon stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares available. Dilutedearnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic earnings (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. The Company has no potential dilutive instruments and accordingly, basic loss and diluted share loss per share are equal.

3. MINERAL RIGHTS AND PROPERTIES

On September 7, 2012 the Company entered into a mineral lease agreement with MinQuest, Inc. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the Company acquired 100% of the exploration and mining rights to 58 unpatented mining claims in Esmeralda County, Nevada approximately 26 miles south of Goldfield in the Tokop mining district for a period of 20 years known as the Empress Property.

Empress Property

On September 7, 2012 the Company entered into a mineral lease agreement with MinQuest. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, MinQuest has agreed to lease the Company 100% of the exploration and mining rights to the Empress Property. As consideration, the Company is required to provide annual payments of $20,000 and commit to the following work expenditures:

$150,000 spent in the first year;

$200,000 spent in the second year;

$250,000 spent in the third year;

$300,000 spent in the fourth year;

$350,000 spent in the fifth year;

$400,000 in the sixth year; and

$650,000 in the seventh year.

3. MINERAL RIGHTS AND PROPERTIES – Continued

MinQuest will also retain a 3% net smelter royalty in the event that the Company enters mineral production on the Empress Property. If the Company is unable to fulfill any of the commitments set out above, the mineral lease agreement will terminate and all property rights will revert back to MinQuest.

As of January 31, 2014, the Company has paid $20,000 the first year’s annual payment. As well the Company has incurred $150,000 in drilling work expenditures. In late 2012, our company drilled a total of five angled RC holes totaling 2,100 feet. Three holes were drilled at Wonder and two at the Empress Mine. No high-grade gold/silver was intersected and after further study and interpretation of the results, the Company subsequently decided to terminate its lease on the property.

Winnemucca Mountain Property

On September 14, 2012, the Company entered into an agreement (as amended and restated on November 15, 2012) with AHL Holdings Ltd. and Golden Sands Exploration Inc. for the exclusive option to purchase a 70% interest in and to certain mining claims from AHL Holdings and Golden Sands, which claims form the Winnemucca Mountain Property in Humboldt County, Nevada.

If the option is exercised, the option agreement provides that AHL Holdings and Golden Sands will enter into a joint venture agreement. The Company will solely be responsible for financing the joint venture and will act as sole operator in consideration of a fee.

On February 1, 2013, the option agreement was further amended and restated. This amended and restated agreement serves to defer, by 90 days, option payments of $30,000 and $200,000 that were previously due by December 31, 2012 and September 14, 2013, respectively. In addition, the Company’s obligation to incur $150,000 in exploration expense by February 15, 2013 will be deferred until July 1, 2013, and the initial $20,000 royalty advance payable to the optionors shall be deferred from December 31, 2012 until April 1, 2013. In consideration of the extended payment and expense deadlines, the Company paid a $10,000 penalty to the optionors on February 1, 2013.

On August 26, 2013 the Company entered into an amended and restated option agreement with AHL Holdings and Golden Sands which materially modifies and replaces the terms of the original option agreement (as amended). The amended and restated agreement increases the interest that the Company may purchase in the Winnemucca property to 80% from 70%, modifies the exercise price payable in respect of the option, and extends schedule for delivery of payment and performance of obligations required for exercise of the option. In that regard, the aggregate cash fee payable to exercise the option has been increased from $1,715,000 to $1,755,000 and the total number of common shares issuable to exercise the option has been increased from 100,000 to 2,100,000. The revised payment schedule also defers $1,000,000 of the total sum payable until December 31, 2017, and defers all existing exploration milestones by 1 year. Finally the agreement provides that the Canadian optionor may elect to receive shares of our common stock in lieu of any cash payments payable pursuant to the agreement at a 75% discount to the then current market price.

The Lender must exercise the Warrants in accordance with Section 2.6(e) within five (5) business days of the receipt of notice from the Company, after which time the Warrants shall be cancelled if unexercised. As used herein, “Principal Market” shall mean the OTC Bulletin Board, the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, or the American Stock Exchange.

General Overview

We were incorporated on December 11, 2006 under the laws of the State of Nevada.

On November 4, 2009, our former president and director transferred all of his 30,000,000 outstanding common shares to Michael Thiessen in a stock purchase agreement for $30,000. On September 7, 2012, Ramzan Savji, our sole director and officer, acquired 30,000,000 shares of our common stock from Mr. Thiessen for $30,000, triggering a change in control of our company.

We were originally a company involved in the placing of strength testing amusement gaming machines called Boxers in venues such as bars, pubs and nightclubs in the Seattle area, in the State of Washington. We acquired one Boxer that had been placed in Lynwood, Washington. However, the machine was de-commissioned as it needed material repairs. We were not able to secure sufficient capital for these repairs and our management decided to change our business focus to mineral exploration.

Current Business

Empress Property

On September 7, 2012, we entered into a mineral lease agreement with MinQuest. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, MinQuest has agreed to lease us 100% of the exploration and mining rights to the Empress Property. As consideration, we are required to provide annual payments and commit work expenditures.

MinQuest will also retain a 3% net smelter royalty in the event that we enter mineral production on the Empress Property. If we are unable to fulfill any of the commitments set out above, the mineral lease agreement will terminate and all property rights will revert back to MinQuest.

As of January 31, 2014, we have paid $20,000 for the first year annual payment. As well we have incurred $150,000 in work expenditures. In late 2012, our company drilled a total of five angled RC holes totaling 2,100 feet. Three holes were drilled at Wonder and two at the Empress Mine. No high-grade gold/silver was intersected and after further study and interpretation of the results, we subsequently decided to terminate our lease on the Empress Property.

Winnemucca Mountain Property

Therefore the Company is now required to pay $1,755,000 in aggregate as follows:

$50,000 on signing (the Optionors acknowledge this was paid);

a further $25,000 ($5,000 of which is a penalty payment) by November 15, 2012 (which is a firm commitment, paid);

a further $10,000 by February 1, 2013 (which is a penalty payment, paid);

a further $30,000 by April 17, 2013 (paid);

a further $20,000 on August 27, 2013 (which is a firm commitment, paid);

a further $20,000 by January 31, 2014;

Results of Operations

The following summary of our results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements for the quarter ended January 31, 2014, which are included herein.

Our operating results for the six months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013 are summarized as follows:

	Six Months Ended January 31,
	2014			2013
Revenue	$	Nil		$	Nil
Mineral property expenditures	$	Nil		$	170,000
General and administrative	$	47,028		$	110,995
Net Income (Loss)	$	(47,028	)	$	(280,995	)

For the six months ended January 31, 2014, our net loss decreased by $233,967 as compared to the six months ended January 31, 2013. Our net loss decreased in the current period as we did not incur the upfront expenditures on our new mineral property and new line of business that we had in the prior period ended January 31, 2013. Our net loss from inception on December 11, 2006 to January 31, 2014 was $461,143.

Revenue

We have not earned any revenues since our inception and we do not anticipate earning revenues in the upcoming quarter.

Liquidity and Financial Condition

Working Capital

	At January 31,			At July 31,
	2014			2013
Current Assets	$	442		$	5,015
Current Liabilities	$	449,570		$	381,115
Working Capital (Deficit)	$	(449,128	)	$	(376,100	)

Our total current assets as of January 31, 2014 were $442 as compared to total current assets of $5,015 as of July 31, 2013. The decrease was due to expenses being fully paid out of the Funds Held in Trust which now has a balance of $0. Our total current liabilities as of January 31, 2014 were $449,570 as compared to total current liabilities of $381,115 as of July 31, 2013. The increase in current liabilities was primarily attributed to issuance of convertible debt to a third party, as well as an advance for private placement from a third party.

Cash Flows

	Six Months Ended January 31,
	2014			2013
Net Cash Provided (Used) by Operating Activities	$	(30,854	)	$	(278,906	)
Net Cash Used by Investing Activities	$	(26,000	)	$	(75,010	)
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities	$	57,571		$	380,210
Increase in Cash During the Period	$	717		$	26,294

Operating Activities

Cash used in operating activities was $30,854 for the six months ended January 31, 2014. Cash used by operating activities was $278,906 for the six months ended January 31, 2013 due to our new mining operations.

Investing Activities

Cash used by investing activities decreased from $75,010 for the six months ended January 31, 2013 to $26,000 for the six months ended January 31, 2014 due to higher initial payments towards the commitment to purchase mineral rights and properties in the prior period. However, as this option agreement was amended and restated in the current period, the aggregate cash fee payable to exercise the option increased by $40,000 in the six months ended January 31, 2014.

Financing Activities

Cash provided by financing activities was $57,571 for the six months ended January 31, 2014 primarily due to the issuance of convertible debt as well as an advance received for private placement. Cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended January 31, 2013 was $380,210 due to the closing of private placement of common stock of the company.

We will require additional funds to fund our budgeted expenses over the next six months. These funds may be raised through equity financing, debt financing, or other sources, which may result in further dilution in the equity ownership of our shares. There is still no assurance that we will be able to maintain operations at a level sufficient for an investor to obtain a return on his investment in our common stock. Further, we may continue to be unprofitable. We need to raise additional funds in the immediate future in order to proceed with our budgeted expenses.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.

Critical Accounting Policies

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management’s application of accounting policies. We believe that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates and assumptions involved with the following aspects of our financial statements is critical to an understanding of our financial statements.

Basis of Presentation

The accounting and reporting policies of our company conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP) applicable to development stage companies.

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, 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 period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Financial Instruments and Risk Concentrations

Our company’s financial instruments comprise cash and cash equivalents, loan receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, notes payable and convertible loan. Unless otherwise indicated, the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities approximate their recorded values due to their short terms to maturity. Our company determines the fair value of our long-term financial instruments based on quoted market values or discounted cash flow analyses.

Financial instruments that may potentially subject our company to concentrations of credit risk comprise primarily cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Cash and cash equivalents comprise deposits with major commercial banks and/or checking account balances. With respect to accounts receivable, our company performs periodic credit evaluations of the financial condition of our customers and typically does not require collateral from them. Allowances are maintained for potential credit losses consistent with the credit risk of specific customers and other information. Unless otherwise noted, it is management's opinion that our company is not exposed to significant interest or currency risks in respect of our financial instruments.

Foreign Currency Translation

Our financial statements are presented in US dollars. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Our company maintains our accounting records in US dollars, which is the functional, and reporting currency. Foreign exchange gain amounted to $125 for the six months ended January 31, 2014 (January 31, 2014 – loss of $2,288).

Income Taxes

Our company accounts for our income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes”, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share

Our company reports earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, "Earnings per Share." Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares available. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic earnings (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.

Our company has no potential dilutive instruments and accordingly, basic loss and diluted share loss per share are equal.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Smaller reporting companies are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer (our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer (our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of quarter covered by this report. Based on the evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures the chief executive officer and chief financial officer (our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer) concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

Changes in Internal Controls

During the quarter covered by this report there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We know of no material, existing or pending legal proceedings against us, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceeding or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial shareholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our company.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Risks Related To Our Overall Business Operations

We have a limited operating history with significant losses and expect losses to continue for the foreseeable future.

We have yet to establish any history of profitable operations. As at January 31, 2014, we have an accumulated deficit of $461,143 and a total stockholders’ deficiency of $63,118. We have not generated any revenues since our inception and do not anticipate that we will generate revenues which will be sufficient to sustain our operations. We expect that our revenues will not be sufficient to sustain our operations for the foreseeable future. Our profitability will require the successful commercialization of our mining properties. We may not be able to successfully commercialize our mines or ever become profitable.

There is doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern due to recurring losses from operations, accumulated deficit and insufficient cash resources to meet our business objectives, all of which means that we may not be able to continue operations.

Our independent auditors have added an explanatory paragraph to their audit opinion issued in connection with the financial statements for the years ended July 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, with respect to their doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to our financial statements for the year ended July 31, 2013, we have generated operating losses since inception, and our cash resources are insufficient to meet our planned business objectives, which together raises doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

We may not be able to secure additional financing to meet our future capital needs due to changes in general economic conditions.

We anticipate needing significant capital to conduct further exploration and development needed to bring our existing mining properties into production and/or to continue to seek out appropriate joint venture partners or buyers for certain mining properties. We may use capital more rapidly than currently anticipated and incur higher operating expenses than currently expected, and we may be required to depend on external financing to satisfy our operating and capital needs. We may need new or additional financing in the future to conduct our operations or expand our business. Any sustained weakness in the general economic conditions and/or financial markets in the United States or globally could adversely affect our ability to raise capital on favorable terms or at all. From time to time we have relied, and may also rely in the future, on access to financial markets as a source of liquidity to satisfy working capital requirements and for general corporate purposes. We may be unable to secure debt or equity financing on terms acceptable to us, or at all, at the time when we need such funding. If we do raise funds by issuing additional equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership percentages of existing stockholders would be reduced, and the securities that we issue may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the holders of our common stock or may be issued at a discount to the market price of our common stock which would result in dilution to our existing stockholders. If we raise additional funds by issuing debt, we may be subject to debt covenants, which could place limitations on our operations including our ability to declare and pay dividends. Our inability to raise additional funds on a timely basis would make it difficult for us to achieve our business objectives and would have a negative impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our properties are in the exploration stage. There is no assurance that we can establish the existence of any mineral resource on any of our properties in commercially exploitable quantities. Until we can do so, we cannot earn any revenues from operations and if we do not do so we will lose all of the funds that we expend on exploration. If we do not discover any mineral resource in a commercially exploitable quantity, our business could fail.

Despite exploration work on our mineral properties, we have not established that our properties have sufficient mineral reserve to justify a mining operation, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so. If we do not, our business could fail.

A mineral reserve is defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission in its Industry Guide 7 (which can be viewed over the Internet at http://www.sec.gov/divisions/corpfin/forms/industry.htm#secguide7) as that part of a mineral deposit which could be economically and legally extracted or produced at the time of the reserve determination. The probability of an individual prospect ever having a "reserve" that meets the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission's Industry Guide 7 is extremely remote; in all probability our mineral resource properties do not contain any 'reserve' and any funds that we spend on exploration will probably be lost.

Even if we do eventually discover a mineral reserve on any of our properties, there can be no assurance that we will be able to develop any of our properties into a producing mine and extract those resources. Both mineral exploration and development involve a high degree of risk and few properties which are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines.

The commercial viability of an established mineral deposit will depend on a number of factors including, by way of example, the size, grade and other attributes of the mineral deposit, the proximity of the resource to infrastructure such as a smelter, roads and a point for shipping, government regulation and market prices. Most of these factors will be beyond our control, and any of them could increase costs and make extraction of any identified mineral resource unprofitable.

Mineral operations are subject to applicable law and government regulation. Even if we discover a mineral resource in a commercially exploitable quantity, these laws and regulations could restrict or prohibit the exploitation of that mineral resource. If we cannot exploit any mineral resource that we might discover on any of our properties, our business may fail.

Both mineral exploration and extraction require permits from various foreign, federal, state, provincial and local governmental authorities and are governed by laws and regulations, including those with respect to prospecting, mine development, mineral production, transport, export, taxation, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, land use, environmental protection, mine safety and other matters. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain or maintain any of the permits required for the continued exploration of our mineral properties or for the construction and operation of a mine on our properties at economically viable costs. If we cannot accomplish these objectives, our business could fail.

We believe that we are in compliance with all material laws and regulations that currently apply to our activities but there can be no assurance that we can continue to remain in compliance. Current laws and regulations could be amended and we might not be able to comply with them, as amended. Further, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain or maintain all permits necessary for our future operations, or that we will be able to obtain them on reasonable terms. To the extent such approvals are required and are not obtained, we may be delayed or prohibited from proceeding with planned exploration or development of our mineral properties.

If we establish the existence of a mineral resource on any of our properties in a commercially exploitable quantity, we will require additional capital in order to develop the property into a producing mine. If we cannot raise this additional capital, we will not be able to exploit the resource, and our business could fail.

If we do discover mineral resources in commercially exploitable quantities on any of our properties, we will be required to expend substantial sums of money to establish the extent of the resource, develop processes to extract it and develop extraction and processing facilities and infrastructure. Although we may derive substantial benefits from the discovery of a major deposit, there can be no assurance that any discovered resource will be large enough to justify commercial operations, nor can there be any assurance that we will be able to raise the funds required for development on a timely basis. If we cannot raise the necessary capital or complete the necessary facilities and infrastructure, our business may fail.

Mineral exploration and development is subject to extraordinary operating risks. We do not currently insure against these risks. In the event of a cave-in or similar occurrence, our liability may exceed our resources, which would have an adverse impact on our company.

Mineral exploration, development and production involve many risks which even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome. Our operations will be subject to all the hazards and risks inherent in the exploration for mineral resources and, if we discover a mineral resource in commercially exploitable quantity, our operations could be subject to all of the hazards and risks inherent in the development and production of resources, including liability for pollution, cave-ins or similar hazards against which we cannot insure or against which we may elect not to insure. Any such event could result in work stoppages and damage to property, including damage to the environment. We do not currently maintain any insurance coverage against these operating hazards. The payment of any liabilities that arise from any such occurrence would have a material adverse impact on our company.

Mineral prices are subject to dramatic and unpredictable fluctuations.

We expect to derive revenues, if any, either from the sale of our mineral resource properties or from the extraction and sale of ore. The price of those commodities has fluctuated widely in recent years, and is affected by numerous factors beyond our control, including international, economic and political trends, expectations of inflation, currency exchange fluctuations, interest rates, global or regional consumptive patterns, speculative activities and increased production due to new extraction developments and improved extraction and production methods. The effect of these factors on the price of base and precious metals, and therefore the economic viability of any of our exploration properties and projects, cannot accurately be predicted.

The mining industry is highly competitive and there is no assurance that we will continue to be successful in acquiring mineral claims. If we cannot continue to acquire properties to explore for mineral resources, we may be required to reduce or cease operations.

The mineral exploration, development, and production industry is largely un-integrated. We compete with other exploration companies looking for mineral resource properties. While we compete with other exploration companies in the effort to locate and acquire mineral resource properties, we will not compete with them for the removal or sales of mineral products from our properties if we should eventually discover the presence of them in quantities sufficient to make production economically feasible. Readily available markets exist worldwide for the sale of mineral products. Therefore, we will likely be able to sell any mineral products that we identify and produce.

In identifying and acquiring mineral resource properties, we compete with many companies possessing greater financial resources and technical facilities. This competition could adversely affect our ability to acquire suitable prospects for exploration in the future. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will acquire any interest in additional mineral resource properties that might yield reserves or result in commercial mining operations.

Risks Associated With Our Industry

The development and operation of our mining projects involve numerous uncertainties.

Mine development projects, including our planned projects, typically require a number of years and significant expenditures during the development phase before production is possible.

Development projects are subject to the completion of successful feasibility studies, issuance of necessary governmental permits and receipt of adequate financing. The economic feasibility of development projects is based on many factors such as:

estimation of reserves;

anticipated metallurgical recoveries;

future gold and silver prices; and

anticipated capital and operating costs of such projects.

Our mine development projects may have limited relevant operating history upon which to base estimates of future operating costs and capital requirements. Estimates of proven and probable reserves and operating costs determined in feasibility studies are based on geologic and engineering analyses.

Any of the following events, among others, could affect the profitability or economic feasibility of a project:

unanticipated changes in grade and tonnage of material to be mined and processed;

unanticipated adverse geotechnical conditions;

incorrect data on which engineering assumptions are made;

costs of constructing and operating a mine in a specific environment;

availability and cost of processing and refining facilities;

availability of economic sources of power;

adequacy of water supply;

adequate access to the site;

unanticipated transportation costs;

government regulations (including regulations relating to prices, royalties, duties, taxes, restrictions on production, quotas on exportation of minerals, as well as the costs of protection of the environment and agricultural lands);

fluctuations in metal prices; and

accidents, labor actions and force majeure events.

Any of the above referenced events may necessitate significant capital outlays or delays, may materially and adversely affect the economics of a given property, or may cause material changes or delays in our intended exploration, development and production activities. Any of these results could force us to curtail or cease our business operations.

Mineral exploration is highly speculative, involves substantial expenditures, and is frequently non-productive.

Mineral exploration involves a high degree of risk and exploration projects are frequently unsuccessful. Few prospects that are explored end up being ultimately developed into producing mines. To the extent that we continue to be involved in mineral exploration, the long-term success of our operations will be related to the cost and success of our exploration programs. We cannot assure you that our mineral exploration efforts will be successful. The risks associated with mineral exploration include:

the identification of potential economic mineralization based on superficial analysis;

the quality of our management and our geological and technical expertise; and

the capital available for exploration and development.

Substantial expenditures are required to determine if a project has economically mineable mineralization. It may take several years to establish proven and probable reserves and to develop and construct mining and processing facilities. Because of these uncertainties, our current and future exploration programs may not result in the discovery of reserves, the expansion of our existing reserves or the further development of our mines.

The price of gold and silver are highly volatile and a decrease in the price of gold or silver would have a material adverse effect on our business.

The profitability of mining operations is directly related to the market prices of metals. The market prices of metals fluctuate significantly and are affected by a number of factors beyond our control, including, but not limited to, the rate of inflation, the exchange rate of the dollar to other currencies, interest rates, and global economic and political conditions. Price fluctuations of metals from the time development of a mine is undertaken to the time production can commence can significantly affect the profitability of a mine. Accordingly, we may begin to develop one or more of our mining properties at a time when the price of metals makes such exploration economically feasible and, subsequently, incur losses because the price of metals decreases. Adverse fluctuations of the market prices of metals may force us to curtail or cease our business operations.

Mining risks and insurance could have an adverse effect on our profitability.

Our operations are subject to all of the operating hazards and risks normally incident to exploring for and developing mineral properties, such as unusual or unexpected geological formations, environmental pollution, personal injuries, flooding, cave-ins, changes in technology or mining techniques, periodic interruptions because of inclement weather and industrial accidents. Although maintenance of insurance to ameliorate some of these risks is part of our proposed exploration program associated with those mining properties we have an interest in, such insurance may not be available at economically feasible rates or in the future be adequate to cover the risks and potential liabilities associated with exploring, owning and operating our properties. Either of these events could cause us to curtail or cease our business operations.

We face significant competition in the mineral exploration industry.

We compete with other mining and exploration companies possessing greater financial resources and technical facilities than we do in connection with the acquisition of exploration properties and leases on prospects and properties and in connection with the recruitment and retention of qualified personnel. Such competition may result in our being unable to acquire interests in economically viable gold and silver exploration properties or qualified personnel.

Our applications for exploration permits may be delayed or may be denied in the future.

Exploration activities usually require the granting of permits from various governmental agencies. For exploration drilling on unpatented mineral claims, a drilling plan must be filed with the Bureau of Land Management or the United States Forest Service, which may then take several months or more to grant the requested permit. Depending on the size, location and scope of the exploration program, additional permits may also be required before exploration activities can be undertaken. Prehistoric or Indian grave yards, threatened or endangered species, archeological sites or the possibility thereof, difficult access, excessive dust and important nearby water resources may all result in the need for additional permits before exploration activities can commence. With all permitting processes, there is the risk that unexpected delays and excessive costs may be experienced in obtaining required permits or the refusal to grant required permits may not be granted at all, all of which may cause delays and unanticipated costs in conducting planned exploration activities. Any such delays or unexpected costs in the permitting process could result in serious adverse consequences to the price of our stock and to the value of your investment.

Risks Related To The Market For Our Stock

Trading of our stock may be restricted by the SEC's "Penny Stock" regulations, which may limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our stock.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations which generally define "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and "accredited investors." The term "accredited investor" refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC, which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer's confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of, our common stock.

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, has adopted sales practice requirements which may also limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our stock.

In addition to the "penny stock" rules described above, FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer's financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit our ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.

Trading in our common shares on the OTC Bulletin Board is limited and sporadic making it difficult for our shareholders to sell their shares or liquidate their investments.

Our common shares are currently listed for public trading on the OTC Bulletin Board under the stock symbol “NMEX”. The trading price of our common shares has been subject to wide fluctuations. Trading prices of our common shares may fluctuate in response to a number of factors, many of which will be beyond our control. The stock market has generally experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of companies with no current business operation. There can be no assurance that trading prices and price earnings ratios previously experienced by our common shares will be matched or maintained. These broad market and industry factors may adversely affect the market price of our common shares, regardless of our operating performance.

In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company's securities, securities class-action litigation has often been instituted. Such litigation, if instituted, could result in substantial costs for us and a diversion of management's attention and resources.

We are not likely to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

We intend to retain any future earnings for use in the operation and expansion of our business. We do not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future but will review this policy as circumstances dictate. Should we decide in the future to do so, as a holding company, our ability to pay dividends and meet other obligations depends upon the receipt of dividends or other payments from our operating subsidiaries. In addition, our operating subsidiaries, from time to time, may be subject to restrictions on their ability to make distributions to us, including restrictions on the conversion of local currency into U.S. dollars or other hard currency and other regulatory restrictions.
