NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
________________________________________________________________________________
SEPTEMBER 30, 2007
________________________________________________________________________________

NOTE 1 - INCORPORATION, NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS

The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada, U.S.A. as Gondwana Energy, Ltd. ("Gondwana") on September 5, 1997. The Company changed its name from Gondwana to FinMetal Mining Ltd. on January 23, 2007. On November 27, 2006, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the shares of Finmetal Mining OY ("FM OY"), a company incorporated under the laws of Finland. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 the Company changed its operational focus from development of oil and gas properties, to acquisition of, exploration for and development of mineral properties. The Company is currently in the exploration stage.

The Company has incurred a net loss of $(8,762,525) for the period from inception on September 5, 1997 to September 30, 2007 and has no source of revenue. The continuity of the Company's future operations is dependent upon its ability to obtain financing and upon future acquisition, exploration and development of profitable operations from its mineral properties. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management intends to continue relying upon the issuance of equity securities to finance its operations and exploration and development activities, however there can be no assurance it will be successful in raising the funds necessary to maintain operations, or that a self-supporting level of operations will ever be achieved. The likely outcome of these future events is indeterminable. The financial statements do not include any adjustment to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability and classification of the assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result should the Company cease to continue as a going concern.

In the opinion of the Company's management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of these unaudited financial statements have been included and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the year ended December 31, 2007.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of presentation and consolidation

The accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Finmetal Mining OY ("FM OY"), a company incorporated under the laws of Finland, has been consolidated effective the date of its acquisition on November 27, 2006.

The accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, FinMetal Management (BC) Ltd., a company incorporated under the laws of British Columbia, Canada, has been consolidated effective the date of its incorporation on February 15, 2007.

These financial statements have bee prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("US GAAP"). All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd...)

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. As at September 30, 2007, the Company has cash and cash equivalents in the amount of $2,578,298 (December 31, 2006: $1,529,869) which are over the federally insured limit. As at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the Company has $Nil of cash equivalents.

Website and Software Development Costs

The Company recognizes the costs incurred in the development of the Company's website in accordance with EITF 00-2 "Accounting for Website Development Costs" and, with the provisions of AICPA Statement of Position No. 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use". Accordingly, direct costs incurred during the application stage of development are capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life of three years. Fees incurred for website hosting are expensed over the period of the benefit. Costs of operating a website are expensed as incurred. Amortization expense is a total of $2,500 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 (2006: $nil) and cumulatively $3,333.

Property and Equipment

Furniture and office and computer equipment is carried at cost and is amortized over its estimated useful life at rates of 20 to 30% declining balance per year. Computer software is carried at cost and is amortized on a straight-line basis over two years. The property and equipment is written down to its net realizable value if it is determined that its carrying value exceeds estimated future benefits to the Company.

Mineral Claim Payments and Exploration Expenditures

The Company expenses all costs related to the acquisition, maintenance and exploration costs relating to unproven mineral properties, to which it has secured exploration rights. When proven and probable reserves are determined for a property based on a feasibility study prepared with respect to the property, then subsequent exploration and development costs of the property will be capitalized. To date, the Company has not established the commercial feasibility of its exploration prospects. Therefore, all costs have been expensed.

Environmental Costs

Environmental expenditures that related to current operations are charged to operations or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations, and which do not contribute to current or future revenue generation, are charged to operations. Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable, and the cost can be reasonably estimated. Generally, the timing of these accruals coincides with the earlier of completion of a feasibility study or the Company's commitments to plan of action based on the then known facts.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd...)

Comprehensive Income

In accordance with SFAS 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS 130"), comprehensive income consists of net income and other gains and losses affecting stockholder's equity that are excluded from net income, such as unrealized gains and losses on investments available for sale, foreign currency translation gains and losses when the Company has a functional currency other than U.S. dollars, and minimum pension liability. For the period ended September 30, 2007 the Company's financial statements include none of the additional elements that affect comprehensive income. Accordingly, net income and comprehensive income are identical.

Stock-Based Compensation

During the year, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(revised), "Share-Based Payment", to account for its stock options and similar equity instruments issued. Accordingly, compensation costs attributable to stock options or similar equity instruments granted are measured at the fair value at the grant date, and expensed over the expected vesting period. Transactions in which goods or services are received from non-employees in exchange for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. SFAS 123(revised) requires excess tax benefits be reported as a financing cash inflow rather than as a reduction of taxes paid.

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company's functional currency is U.S. dollars. Accordingly, foreign currency balances are translated into US dollars as follows:

Monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the year-end exchange rate.

Non-monetary assets are translated at the rate of exchange in effect at their acquisition, unless such assets are carried at market or nominal value, in which case they are translated at the year-end exchange rate.

Revenue and expense items are translated at the average exchange rate for the year.

Foreign exchange gains and losses in the year are included in operations.

Basic Net Income (Loss) per Share

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share on the potential exercise of the equity-based financial instruments is not presented where anti-dilutive. The Company's basic net loss per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 has been restated retroactively to reflect the Company's stock splits and reverse stock splits as detailed in Note 5.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd...)

Income taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's financial statements or tax returns. In estimating future tax consequences, all expected future events other than enactment of changes in the tax laws or rates are considered.

Due to the uncertainty regarding the Company's profitability, the future tax benefits of its losses have been fully reserved for and no net tax benefit has been recorded in the financial statements.

Assets retirement obligations

The Company has adopted SFAS No 143, Accounting for Assets Retirement Obligations, which requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred. SFAS No. 143 requires the Company to record a liability for the present value of the estimated site restoration costs with corresponding increase to the carrying amount of the related long-lived assets. The liability will be accreted and the asset will be depreciated over the life of the related assets. Adjustments for changes resulting from the passage of time and changes to either the timing or amount of the original present value estimate underlying the obligation will be made. As at September 30, 2007, the Company does not have any asset retirement obligations.

Long-lived assets impairment

Long-term assets of the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable, pursuant to guidance established in SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.

Management considers assets to be impaired if the carrying value exceeds the future projected cash flows from related operations (undiscounted and without interest charges). If impairment is deemed to exist, the assets will be written down to fair value. Fair value is generally determined using a discounted cash flow analysis.

Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 133 Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 133 requires companies to recognize all derivatives contracts as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and to measure them at fair value. If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as a hedge, the objective of which is to match the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging derivative with the recognition of (i) the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk or (ii) as a hedging instrument, the gain or loss is recognized in income in the period of change.

Historically, the Company has not entered into derivative contracts either to hedge existing risks or for speculative purposes. The adoption of this statement does not have an impact on the Company's financial statements.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd...)

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount 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 period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Financial Instruments

The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and advances from related parties. The carrying value of these financial instruments approximates their fair value based on their liquidity or their short-term nature.

The Company is not exposed to significant interest, credit or currency risk arising from these financial instruments due to their short term nature.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 109" ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing a two-step method of first evaluating whether a tax position has met a more likely than not recognition threshold and second, measuring that tax position to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 provides guidance on the presentation of such positions within a classified statement of financial position as well as on derecognition, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's future reported financial position or results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measures". This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), expands disclosures about fair value measurements, and applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements. However, the FASB anticipates that for some entities, the application of SFAS No. 157 will change current practice. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, which for the Company would be the fiscal year beginning November 1, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 157 but does not expect that it will have a material impact on its financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities". This Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Providence is currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 159 on its financial position and results of operations.

NOTE 5 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (cont'd...)

Common Stock (cont'd...)

On May 4, 2007 the Company issued 400,000 common shares at a deemed price of $1.34 per share as a finders' fee pursuant to the acquisition of mineral property interests (Note 4 (i)).

Stock Options

On April 17, 2007 the Company granted 3,350,000 incentive stock options to officers, directors and consultants of the Company to purchase common stock of the Company at a price of $1.25 per common share on or before April 17, 2017 and vesting as to one-quarter of the common shares under the stock option on April 17, 2007 and one-quarter every six months thereafter in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Company's Stock Incentive Plan.

During fiscal 2007, the Company adopted the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan, (the "Plan") which provides for the grant of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, performance shares and performance units, and stock awards to officers, directors or employees of, as well as advisers and consultants to, the Company.

All stock options and rights are to vest over a period determined by the Board of Directors and expire not more than ten years from the date granted. Pursuant to the Plan, the maximum aggregate number of shares that may be issued for awards is 10,000,000 and the maximum aggregate number of shares that may be issued for incentive stock options is 10,000,000.

The weighted average fair value of the options granted in was estimated at $1.24 per share using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, using the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 4.11%, dividend yield of 0%, volatility of 120.85% and expected life of approximately 5 years. Related stock based compensation in the amount of $2,758,647 was charged to operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 (2006: $NIL).

Although the assumptions used to record stock compensation expense reflect management's best estimates, they involve inherent uncertainties based on market conditions generally outside of the control of the Company. If other assumptions were used, stock-based compensation expense could be significantly impacted. As stock options are exercised, the proceeds received on exercise are credited to stockholders' equity.

 

Warrants

As at September 30, 2007, the Company had 5,599,000 warrants outstanding, exercisable at $1.00 per share on or before December 7, 2007. (September 30, 2006: Nil).

Item 2.          Management's Discussion and Analysis

In this document: (i) the terms "we", "us", "our", the "Company" and "FinMetal" refer to FinMetal Mining Ltd. and its subsidiaries, unless the context otherwise requires; (ii) references to "FinMetal OY" mean FinMetal Mining OY, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and its subsidiaries; and (iii) "€" refers to Euros and "$" refers to United States dollars.

The following discussion of our plan of operations, results of operations and financial condition as at and for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 should be read in conjunction with our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related notes for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 included in this Quarterly Report and our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006, including our annual audited financial statements included therein.

Overview

General

We were incorporated on September 5, 1997 under the laws of the State of Nevada. On January 7, 2005, we completed a one new for six old reverse stock split of our shares of common stock. On March 9, 2006, we completed a one new for 100 old reverse stock split of our shares of common stock. On June 13, 2006, we completed an eight new for one old forward stock split of our shares of common stock. These reverse and forward stock splits are reflected in this Quarterly Report. On November 27, 2006, we acquired FinMetal OY. Our authorized capital is 100,000,000 common shares with a par value of $0.00001 per share and our shares trade on the OTC Bulletin Board and the Pink Sheets.

Our Business

We are an exploration stage company engaged in the assessment, acquisition and exploration of mineral properties.

We did not have any operations prior to the acquisition of our wholly-owned subsidiary, FinMetal OY, on November 27, 2006, a corporation organized under the laws of Finland on September 14, 2006. We acquired all of the outstanding shares of FinMetal OY in consideration for the issuance to the shareholder of FinMetal OY of 1,000,000 of our shares of common stock and a payment of €200,000 in cash. In addition, on January 22, 2007, we entered into a letter agreement giving us the exclusive option to acquire a 100% undivided interest in five mineral property concessions registration interest assets located in Northern Finland.

On February 6, 2007, we entered into a share purchase agreement with Magnus Minerals OY ("Magnus"), a private Finnish company, and the shareholders of Magnus, pursuant to which we agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Magnus over a two-year period. Effective March 31, 2007, the agreement was terminated and we have no remaining obligations to Magnus or its shareholders under the subject share purchase agreement.

On June 11, 2007, we entered into a Mineral Property Option and Joint Venture Agreement (the "Option Agreement") with Magnus, pursuant to which we agreed to an option and a joint venture to explore the "Enonkoski area" in Finland (the "Property") primarily for nickel-copper-platinum group elements. Under the terms of the Option Agreement, we intend to acquire ownership from Magnus of up to a 51% interest in certain valid claim reservations, and pending claims in respect of this Property as described herein.

- 20 -


We plan to seek other potential mining opportunities, mainly in Finland, for acquisition and/or development.

The FinMetal OY Properties

FinMetal OY owns the option to acquire a 100% interest in four mineral properties located in Finland, and better known as the Petrovaara, Poskijärvi-Kokka, Rautavaara and Tainiovaara properties (the "FinMetal OY Properties"), along with all existing property data. Under the terms of the option, we are required to make payments of €1.0 million in respect of each property over a period of four years. The option payments are to be made annually in respect of each property at the beginning of each year as follows: (i) €100,000 in the first year (a total of €400,000 has been paid); (ii) €100,000 in the second year; (iii) €300,000 in the third year; and (iv) €500,000 in the fourth year; for a total of €4.0 million if all four of the properties are acquired fully. Also, we must satisfy a work commitment of €1.0 million in respect of each property, of which 25% must be conducted annually. No amounts relating to this work commitment have been expended to date. All properties are subject to a 2% net smelter royalty in favour of the original vendors of FinMetal OY.

The company is developing its 2007 exploration program on these properties. We intend to use modern geophysics to better define drill targets. Techniques used will likely include detailed magnetometry, airborne and down-hole electromagnetometry and high-quality interpretation with a large amount of emphasis on structural geology.

Our proposed exploration program is based upon the expectation that exploration at deeper levels, to depths of up to 1000m, may lead to the discovery of extensions to the known nickel mineralization in several of the prospects. Technical information on the properties includes data obtained largely from the Government run Finnish Geological Society and from claim reports filed by Outokumpu Oy. As far as can be determined, grades reported are expressed only as sulphide not total metal. They do not include nickel and copper contained in the silicate rock-forming minerals. This should be taken into account when comparing FinMetal prospect grades with those of other reported deposits where grade may include nickel contained in rock-forming minerals and not metallurgically recoverable.

The Apofas Properties

On January 22, 2007, we entered into a letter agreement (the "Letter Agreement") with Ab Apofas OY ("Apofas"), pursuant to which Apofas granted to us the sole and exclusive option (the "Option") to acquire, subject to a 2% gross proceeds royalty, a 100% undivided interest in and to five mineral property concession registration interest assets known as the Poronmannikko and Sarkiahonkangas gold prospects, which are located in northern Finland (collectively, the "Apofas Properties").

Under the terms of the Letter Agreement, and in order to exercise its Option to acquire the Apofas Properties, the Company is required to make the following non-refundable cash payments to Apofas totalling €1.0 million in the following manner: (i) the first payment of €150,000 is due on or before April 1, 2007 (paid); (ii) the 2nd payment of €150,000 is due on or before April 1, 2008; (iii) the 3rd payment of €300,000 is due on or before April 1, 2009; and (iv) the final payment of €400,000 is due on or before April 1, 2010. The Letter Agreement is subject to a finder's fee of 400,000 common shares of the Company (issued).

The Letter Agreement was subject to the following conditions precedent prior to our decision to make the first cash payment thereunder: (a) the completion by the Company of a thorough due diligence investigation in respect of Apofas and the Apofas Properties interests prior to April 1, 2007 (which has been completed); and (b) the execution of a definitive agreement and related documentation in order to evidence the Option prior to the end of the due diligence period (which has been deferred by agreement). Apofas was notified prior to April 1, 2007 that we would be proceeding with the first option payment. The first payment of €150,000 has been made and accepted by Apofas OY.

- 21 -


The Magnus Properties

On June 11, 2007, we entered into an Option Agreement with Magnus, pursuant to which we and Magnus agreed to an option and a joint venture to explore the "Enonkoski area" in Finland primarily for nickel-copper-platinum group elements.

Under the terms of the Option Agreement, we intend to acquire ownership from Magnus of up to a 51% interest in certain valid claim reservations, and pending claims comprising the Property as more particularly set forth in the Option Agreement.

It is intended that we will be the operator of the joint venture and can earn a 51% interest in the Property by fulfilling U.S. $10 million in work commitments and €3 million in option payments.

In order to exercise the option, we will be required to spend U.S. $10 million in work commitments with minimum expenditures as follows: (a) U.S. $1.8 million by November 30, 2008; (b) U.S. $2.2 million by November 30, 2009; (c) U.S. $2.8 million by November 30, 2010; and (d) U.S. $3.2 million by November 30, 2011. In addition, we will be required to make a total of €3 million in option payments to Magnus over four years as follows: (a) €30,000 by May 22, 2007 (which payment has been made); (b) €270,000 upon execution of the Option Agreement (which payment has been made); (c) €600,000 by November 30, 2008, (d) €900,000 by November 30, 2009; and (e) €1,200,000 by November 30, 2010.

We have approximately 4.5 years to earn the 51% interest in the Property. We must spend 50% or more of our work commitments (U.S. $5 million) and option payments (€1.5 million) before any earn-in is realized. Once the 50% has been reached, we will have a 25.5% interest in the Property and our interest will increase proportional to our work commitments and option payments to the maximum of 51%, at which point both our and Magnus' interests are to be converted to working interests.

We are presently in the process of evaluating the various Property interests with a view to determining the best course of exploration and development activity going forward.

Our Financial Condition

During the next 12 months we anticipate that we will not generate any revenue. We had cash of $2,631,228 and working capital of $2,725,506 at September 30, 2007. We anticipate that we have sufficient funds to enable us to pay our planned expenses for the next 12 months.

However, we will be required to obtain additional financing in order to pursue our plan of operations going forward. We believe that debt financing will not be an alternative for funding additional phases of exploration as we do not have tangible assets to secure any debt financing. We anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock. However, we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock to fund our exploration program going forward. In the absence of such financing, we will not be able to continue exploration of our mineral claims and our business plan will fail. Even if we are successful in obtaining equity financing to fund our exploration program, there is no assurance that we will obtain the funding necessary to pursue any advanced exploration of our mineral claims. If we do not continue to obtain additional financing, we will be forced to abandon our mineral claims and our plan of operations.

Plan of Operations

We did not have any operations prior to the acquisition of our wholly-owned subsidiary, FinMetal OY, on November 27, 2006. We have not earned any revenues from operations to date. We currently have limited property interests and none of our properties have any known reserves. We have used cash primarily in connection with the acquisition of property interests and organizational activities.

We have incurred significant losses since inception. As at September 30, 2007, we had cash of $2,631,228 and working capital of $2,725,506. We anticipate that we will require approximately $2,500,000 to pursue our plan of operations for the next 12 months and believe that we have sufficient working capital for the next 12 months.

Cash on hand is currently our only source of liquidity. We do not have any lending arrangements in place with banking or financial institutions and we do not anticipate that we will be able to secure these funding arrangements in the near future.

Our plan of operations for the next twelve months relates primarily to the FinMetal OY Properties in respect of which we plan to:

- 23 -


If we are successful in securing exploration interests we will be obligated to complete proposed work programs to maintain our interests in good standing. There can be no certainty as to the costs of the future work programs, however, and we will require additional funds to discharge our exploration obligations. We do not have sufficient capital to satisfy all of our proposed future expenditures and we will rely principally on the issuance of common stock to raise funds to finance the expenditures that we expect to incur should we secure exploration interests. Failure to raise additional funds will result in our failure to meet our obligations and we may be required to relinquish our interest in any permit acquired. We have relied principally on the issuance of common stock in private placements to raise funds to support our business but there can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising additional funds through the issuance of additional equity.

We propose to raise additional financing through the sale of equity securities during the next fiscal year, although there can be no assurance that such funding will be available. In the event that future equity financing cannot be raised or negotiations for joint venture funding are not successful, our activities may be curtailed and this may adversely affect our ability to carry out any acquisitions of suitable mineral property interests.

We believe our existing cash balances are sufficient to carry out our normal operations for the next 12 months. To the extent that we require additional funds to support our operations or the expansion of our business, we may sell additional equity or issue debt. Any sale of additional equity securities will result in dilution to our stockholders. There can be no assurance that additional financing, when required, will be available to our company or on acceptable terms.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2007, our net loss was $6,094,470, which reflected the ramp-up of our operations due to the acquisition of FinMetal OY, the option in respect of the Apofas Properties and the option in respect of the Magnus Properties. We paid consulting and management fees of $258,424 in the nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared to $45,000 in the prior period of 2006. In the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we incurred investor communication and promotion expenses of $237,318 and travel and accommodation expenses of $190,765 and professional fees of $121,620 resulting from the acquisition of our current operations.

We also recorded stock based compensation included in consulting fees in the amount of $3,901,103 compared to $nil in the prior period of 2006. Although the assumptions used to record stock compensation expense reflect management's best estimates, they involve inherent uncertainties based on market conditions generally outside of the control of the Company. If other assumptions were used, stock-based compensation expense could be significantly impacted. As stock options are exercised, the proceeds received on exercise are credited to stockholders' equity.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the 12 month period following the date of this Quarterly Report, we anticipate that we will not generate any revenue. We had cash of $2,631,228 as at September 30, 2007 and working capital of $2,725,506. We anticipate that we will require approximately $2,500,000 to pursue our plan of operations for the next 12 months and believe that we have sufficient working capital for the next 12 months.

However, we will be required to obtain additional financing in order to pursue our plan of operations going forward. We believe that debt financing will not be an alternative for funding additional phases of exploration as we do not have tangible assets to secure any debt financing. We anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock. However, we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock to fund our exploration program going forward. In the absence of such financing, we will not be able to continue exploration of our mineral claims and our business plan will fail. Even if we are successful in obtaining equity financing to fund our exploration program, there is no assurance that we will obtain the funding necessary to pursue any advanced exploration of our mineral claims. If we do not continue to obtain additional financing, we will be forced to abandon our mineral claims and our plan of operations.

Cash Used in Operating Activities

Cash used in operating activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $1,814,730, which reflected our net loss, compared to $46,975 in the prior period of 2006. Operating activities used cash primarily relating to the payment of amounts due to certain related parties and the payment of exploration program advances, partially offset by increases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. We anticipate that cash used in operating activities will increase in 2007 as we pursue our plan of operations.

Cash Used In Investing Activities

In the nine months ended September 30, 2007, investing activities used cash of $35,406 as a result of the purchase of equipment. There were no investing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2006.

Cash Provided By Financing Activities

We have funded our business to date primarily from sales of our common stock. In the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we raised net proceeds of $2,832,550, compared to $150,000 in the prior period of 2006, from the sale of our common stock.

Going Concern

We have incurred net losses for the period from inception on September 5, 1997 to September 30, 2007 and have no source of revenue. The continuity of our future operations is dependent on our ability to obtain financing and upon future acquisition, exploration and development of profitable operations from our mineral properties. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Future Financings

We anticipate continuing to rely on equity sales of our common shares in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to our existing shareholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of our equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund our planned exploration activities.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no significant 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

Use of Estimates

Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of 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 amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

- 26 -


Mineral Claim Payments and Exploration Expenditures

The Company expenses all costs related to the acquisition, maintenance and exploration costs relating to unproven mineral properties, to which it has secured exploration rights. When proven and probable reserves are determined for a property based on a feasibility study prepared with respect to the property, then subsequent exploration and development costs of the property will be capitalized. To date, the Company has not established the commercial feasibility of its exploration prospects. Therefore, all costs have been expensed.

Stock-Based Compensation

During the year, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(revised), "Share-Based Payment", to account for its stock options and similar equity instruments issued. Accordingly, compensation costs attributable to stock options or similar equity instruments granted are measured at the fair value at the grant date, and expensed over the expected vesting period. Transactions in which goods or services are received from non-employees in exchange for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. SFAS 123(revised) requires excess tax benefits be reported as a financing cash inflow rather than as a reduction of taxes paid.

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company's functional currency is U.S. dollars. Accordingly, foreign currency balances are translated into US dollars as follows:

Monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the year-end exchange rate.

Non-monetary assets are translated at the rate of exchange in effect at their acquisition, unless such assets are carried at market or nominal value, in which case they are translated at the year-end exchange rate.

Revenue and expense items are translated at the average exchange rate for the year.

Foreign exchange gains and losses in the year are included in operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 109" ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing a two-step method of first evaluating whether a tax position has met a more likely than not recognition threshold and second, measuring that tax position to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 provides guidance on the presentation of such positions within a classified statement of financial position as well as on derecognition, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's future reported financial position or results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measures". This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), expands disclosures about fair value measurements, and applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements. However, the FASB anticipates that for some entities, the application of SFAS No. 157 will change current practice. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, which for the Company would be the fiscal year beginning November 1, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 157 but does not expect that it will have a material impact on its financial statements.

- 27 -


In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities". This Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Providence is currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 159 on its financial position and results of operations.

Item 3.          Controls And Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls

We evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2007. This evaluation was conducted with the participation of our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer.

Disclosure controls are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information that we are required to disclose in the reports we file pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all error and fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, but no absolute, assurance that the objectives of a control system are met. Further, any control system reflects limitations on resources, and the benefits of a control system must be considered relative to its costs. These limitations also include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of a control. A design of a control system is also based upon certain assumptions about potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected.

Conclusions

Based upon their evaluation of our controls, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that, subject to the limitations noted above, our disclosure controls are effective in providing reasonable assurance that material information relating to us is made known to management on a timely basis during the period when our reports are being prepared. There were no changes in our internal controls that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2007 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls.
