Notes to Interim Financial Statements (unaudited)
(expressed in Canadian dollars)
The financial information as at November 30, 2006 and for the three-month and nine-month periods ended November 30, 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.

3. Equity components
(a) Warrants
The following table summarizes the exercise price and the maturity date of outstanding warrants :
• 484,162 warrants at $5.84 mature on November 18, 2007.

(b) Stock options
Options granted expire after a maximum period of ten years following the date of grant.
There is no vesting period, except for :
• 90,000 options granted to directors and officers during the period ended November 30, 2006,
which vest after one year of service (April 6, 2007).
These options will generate aggregate stock-based compensation costs of $80,184. These costs will be amortized on a straight-line basis over their vesting period.

4. Earnings per share
For the three-month and nine-month periods ended November 30, 2006 (for continuing and discontinued operations in 2005), there was no difference between the basic and diluted earnings 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 earnings per share for those periods were calculated using the basic weighted average number of shares outstanding.
