Notes to Interim Financial Statements (unaudited)


(expressed in Canadian dollars)

  1. Interim financial information

The financial information as at August 31, 2006 and for the three-month and six-month periods ended August 31, 2006 and 2005 is unaudited. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the results of these periods have been included. The adjustments made were of a normal recurring nature. Interim results may not necessarily be indicative of results anticipated for the year.

These unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles and use the same accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of Virginia Gold Mines Inc.'s ("Virginia Gold Mines") most recent annual financial statements. All disclosures required for annual financial statements have not been included in these financial statements. These unaudited interim financial statements should therefore be read in conjunction with Virginia Gold Mines' most recent audited annual financial statements.

4. Earnings per share

For the three-month and six-month periods ended August 31, 2006 (for continuing and discontinued operations in 2005), there was no difference between the basic and diluted loss per share since the dilutive effect of stock options, unit options and warrants was not included in the calculation; otherwise, the effect would have been anti-dilutive. Accordingly, the diluted loss per share for those periods was calculated using the basic weighted average number of shares outstanding.
