OVERALL PERFORMANCE

Description of Business

The Company was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia on April 5, 2006 and was classified
as a Capital Pool Company as defined in TSX Venture Exchange Policy 2.4. The principal business of the Company was the
identification and evaluation of a Qualifying Transaction and once identified or evaluated, to negotiate an acquisition or
participation in a business subject to receipt of shareholder approval, if required, and acceptance by regulatory authorities.

On March 12, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire Pacific Coast Nickel Corp. (“PCNC”), a private
company developing the Big Nic nickel project in British Columbia (the “Transaction”). The Transaction closed on July 10,
2007.

Pursuant to the Transaction, the Company issued to the shareholders of PCNC an aggregate of 17,525,000 common shares to
acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of PCNC. Concurrently with the closing of the Transaction, the Company
undertook a partially brokered private placement to raise $2,680,000 through the sale of 4,200,000 common shares at $0.40
per share and 2,000,000 flow-through common shares at $0.50 per share.

The Transaction constituted the Company’s “Qualifying Transaction”, and upon completion resulted in the listing of the
Company as a “Tier 2 Mining Issuer”. At the close of the Transaction, the Company changed its name to Pacific Coast
Nickel Corp. The Company adopted the year end of PCNC as its own as the private company was the accounting acquirer in
the Transaction.

SELECTED ANNUAL INFORMATION

The annual information for the years ended July 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007 is as follows:

Year Ended Year Ended Year Ended
July 31, 2009 July 31, 2008 July 31, 2007
Revenue $Nil $Nil $Nil
Interest income $21,428 $97,651 $4,592
Net loss $(321,696) $(1,506,866) $(851,908)
Net loss per share $(0.01) $(0.04) $(0.05)
Total Assets $2,099,195 $2,580,628 $4,022,110
Long term Liabilities $Nil $Nil $Nil
Dividends $Nil $Nil $Nil

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the year ended July 31, 2009, the Company incurred a net loss of $321,696 compared to a net loss of $1,506,866 in the
prior year. The decreased loss was mainly due to a $1,434,807 write-down of the Big Nic and Devil’s Lake mineral
properties that occurred in fiscal 2008. In addition, administrative expenses (excluding stock-based compensation expense)
decreased by $193,295 over the prior year primarily due to a decrease in investor relations expense of $180,000 partially
offset by a $30,817 increase in Office and Miscellaneous expenses and a $43,000 increase in Consulting fees. Other
significant differences in comparison to the prior year were a decrease in stock-based compensation expense of $91,581, a
decrease in future income tax recovery of $320,000 and a decrease in interest income of $70,903.

Canada

During the year ended July 31, 2008, the Company decided to write off its capitalized exploration expenses on the Big Nic
and Devil’s Lake properties as there were significant cash payments and share issuances due in the next 14 months and
exploration results did not justify these payments at that time. This left the company with only the Burwash property
located within Canada.

The Burwash property is located 8km from the Alaska Highway and adjoins the Wellgreen nickel deposit, a property
which has been extensively explored since its discovery in 1952. The Company budgeted approximately $400,000 for an
exploration program on the Burwash property during the 2008 summer season. At July 31, 2009, $527,924 had been
spent on the Burwash property including acquisition costs. Assay results are available on the Company’s website.

Pursuant to an option agreement (the “Agreement”) dated May 14, 2008, and amended on December 9, 2008, the Company
entered into an option agreement (the “Agreement”) to acquire up to a 75% interest in the Burwash Property located in the
Yukon Territory as follows:

The Company may acquire a 50% interest by:

(a) making the following payments to the Optionor:

(i) $25,000 upon the execution of this Agreement (paid);
(ii) an additional $25,000 on or before March 31, 2009 (paid);
(iii) an additional $30,000 on or before March 31, 2010; and
(iv) an additional $50,000 on or before March 31, 2011

(b) issuing the following common shares to the Optionor:

(i) 100,000 upon the execution of the agreement (issued);
(ii) an additional 100,000 shares on or before March 31, 2009 (issued);
(iii) an additional 150,000 shares on or before March 31, 2010; and

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

(c) incurring the following expenditures on the property by December 1, 2010:

(i) $400,000 on or before December 1, 2008 (incurred);
(ii) an additional $1,000,000 on or before December 1, 2010; and
(iii) an additional $1,600,000 on or before December 1, 2011;

The Company may acquire an additional 10% interest by providing the Optionor with a positive bankable feasibility study in
respect of the property on or before March 31, 2013.

The Company may acquire an additional 15% interest by providing all of the funding required to put the Property into
commercial production on or before March 31, 2016.

During the spring and summer of 2009 the company halted all exploration work on the Burwash property in order to
preserve its treasury and to monitor the fall out of the financial and economic crisis that began in the fall of 2008. The
company continues to monitor the companies that have staked over 10,000 claims along the belt that contains the Burwash
property. In conjunction with Strategic Metals (optionor), the Company will develop a program that will seek to advance
this property.

Uruguay

The Company has incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary in Uruguay, Pacific Nickel Sudamerica SA, the purpose of
which was to conduct a low budget review of several properties with demonstrated nickel potential. The program to date
has resulted in the expenditure of $491,459. The expenditures consisted of reviews of existing data and initial site visits
by our geological consultants based in the area. The Company’s goal was to acquire several properties as a result of this
work. During fiscal 2009 the company applied for and acquired 5 prospecting licences for properties it had reviewed. The
company has no future obligations or expenditures requirements related to the Uruguayan properties.

Similar to the Burwash property the company halted all exploration work on the Uruguayan property to preserve capital
and to monitor the fall out of the financial and economic crisis. The company intends to complete additional exploration
work on the Uruguayan property once economic conditions improve and additional capital is raised. .

Outlook

During the 2009 summer the Company and its technical staff began a global search for precious metal properties with a
focus on properties in Africa. During the coming months the Company will continue to assess available properties and
develop an exploration budget for the 2010 exploration season for its existing properties.

FOURTH QUARTER

Quarterly results for the year ended July 31, 2009 were consistent throughout the year with the exception of the fourth quarter
which contained an additional write-down related to the Big Nic and Devil’s Lake properties totalling $24,801. Also during
the fourth quarter management wrote-off the Arizona properties expenditures totalling $32,092.

LIQUIDITY

The Company has financed its operations to date through the issuance of common shares. Over the short term the Company
will continue to seek capital through the issuance of equity as existing properties are developed and as new properties are
identified. Over the long term the company will consider the issuance of debt to advance property development. Currently the
Company has sufficient capital to conduct further exploration on its existing properties or to make possible property
acquisitions. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the
Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable
future. The continuing operations of the Company are dependent upon its ability to continue to raise adequate financing and
to commence profitable operations in the future.

redeemable mutual funds. None of the Company’s cash is invested in asset backed commercial paper. The Company has
spent $1,000,000 in exploration expenditures that qualify as CEE in order to satisfy the renunciation made in connection with
the flow through financing in July 2007.

PROPOSED TRANACTIONS

The Company is reviewing a number of potential property acquisitions in addition to conducting further exploration work on
its properties. The search for additional properties is global in nature. As the company conducts exploration work on its
existing properties and if an acquisition is made appropriate disclosures will be made.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Equipment

The Company has adopted amortization policies, which, in the opinion of management, are reflective of the estimated useful
lives and abandonment cost, if any, of its assets. The Company has not yet recorded any amounts in respect of impairment, as
none of these costs has been identified.

Mineral Properties

In addition, the Company will be capitalizing costs related to the development and furtherance of its resource properties. The
recovery of those costs will be dependent on the ability of the Company to discover and develop economic reserves and then
to develop such reserves in an economic fashion. Management believes that costs capitalized in respect of its projects are not
impaired and no adjustments to carrying values are required at this time.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company uses the Black-Scholes valuation model in calculating stock-based compensation expense. The model requires
that estimates be made of stock price volatility, option life, dividend yield and risk free interest rate and the ensuing results
could vary significantly if changes are made in these assumptions.

ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Effective August 1, 2008, The Company adopted the new accounting standards issued by the Canadian Institute of Chartered
Accountants (“CICA”) Handbook. Section 1535 “Capital Disclosures”, Section 3862 “Financial Instruments – Disclosures”
and Section 3863 “Financial Instruments – Presentation” which replaced Section 3861 “Financial Instruments – Disclosure
and Presentation” and Section 1400 “Going Concern”.
Section 1535
Section 1535 applies to all entities regardless of whether they have financial instruments or are subject to external capital
requirements. This new section establishes standards for disclosing information about an entity’s capital and how it is
managed. Disclosure requirements pertaining to this section are contained in Note #18 of the Consolidated Financial
Statements.
Section 3862 & 3863
Section 3862 outlines the disclosure requirements for financial instruments and non-financial derivatives and places increased
emphasis on disclosure regarding concentrations of risk, liquidity risk and price risk associated with both recognized and
unrecognized financial instruments and how these risks are managed. The principles in this section complement the principles
for recognizing, measuring and presenting financial assets and financial liabilities in section 3855, Financial Instruments –
Recognition and Measurement, Section 3863, Financial Instruments – Presentation, and Section 3865, Hedges (See Note #17
of the Consolidated Financial Statements). Section 3863, Financial Instruments - Presentation is required to enhance financial
statement users’ understanding of the significance of financial instruments to an entity’s financial position, performance and
cash flows. This section establishes standards for presentation of financial instruments and non-financial derivatives. It deals
with the classification of financial instruments, from the perspective of the issuer, between liabilities and equity, the
classification of related interest, dividends, losses and gains, and the circumstances in which financial assets and financial
liabilities are offset.
Section 1400
This section provides revised guidance on management’s responsibility to assess and disclose the Company’s ability to
continue as a going concern. The adoption of this standard had no impact on these consolidated financial statements.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting
principles. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries
PCNC Holdings Corp., Pacific Coast Nickel Corp. USA and Pacific Nickel Sudamerica Sociedad Anonima, Uruguay. All
significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of cash and highly liquid short-term investments with a maturity of less than 90 days
from the date of acquisition, or which are redeemable at the option of the Company.
Mineral Properties
The Company defers the cost of acquiring, maintaining its interest, exploring and developing mineral properties until such
time as the properties are placed into production, abandoned, sold or considered to be impaired in value. Costs of producing
properties will be amortized on a unit of production basis and costs of abandoned properties are written-off. Proceeds
received on the sale of interests in mineral properties are credited to the carrying value of mineral properties, with any excess
included in operations. Write-downs due to impairment in value are charged to operations.
The Company is in the process of exploring and developing its mineral properties and has not yet determined the amount of
reserves available. Management reviews the carrying value of mineral properties on a periodic basis and will recognize
impairment in value based upon current exploration results, the prospect of further work being carried out by the Company,
the assessment of future revenues from the property or from the sale of the property. Amounts shown for the properties
represent costs incurred net of write-downs and recoveries, and are not intended to represent present or future values.
Flow-Through Shares
The Company has financed a portion of its exploration activities through the issuance of flow-through shares. Under the
terms of the flow-through share agreements, the tax attributes of the related exploration expenditures are renounced to

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d…)

subscribers. To recognize the foregone tax benefits to the Company, the carrying value of the shares issued is reduced by the
tax effect of the tax benefits renounced to subscribers.
The Company follows the recommendations of EIC-146 with respect to flow-through shares. The application of EIC-146
requires the recognition of the foregone tax benefit on the date the Company renounces the tax credits associated with the
exploration expenditures, provided there is reasonable assurance that the expenditures will be made.
Equipment
Equipment is recorded at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is provided over the estimated useful life of the
asset using the declining balance method at annual rates of between 20% and 30% with one-half year’s amortization recorded
in the year of acquisition.

Foreign Currency Translation
The Company’s consolidated financial statements are expressed in Canadian dollars. The accounts of integrated foreign
operations, which are initially recorded in United States dollars and Argentina Pesos, have been translated into Canadian
dollars using the temporal method. Monetary assets and liabilities originating in foreign currencies are translated at the
prevailing rates of exchange at the balance sheet date. Expenses and income are translated at the rates of exchange in effect
on the dates of the related transactions. Non-monetary items are translated at the rates in effect when the items were acquired.
Exchange gains and losses arising on translation are included in determining current earnings.
The Company has a stock-based compensation plan as disclosed in Note 9 whereby stock options are granted and share
purchase warrants are issued in accordance with the policies of regulatory authorities. The fair value of all options and
warrants is charged as a compensation cost over their respective vesting period with a corresponding increase to contributed
surplus. Upon exercise of options and warrants, the consideration paid by the holder, together with the amount previously
recognized in contributed surplus, is recorded as an increase to share capital. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option
pricing model to calculate the fair value of stock-based compensation.
Income Taxes
The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, current income taxes
are recognized for the estimated income taxes payable for the current period. Future income tax assets and liabilities are
recognized for temporary differences between the tax and accounting bases of assets and liabilities as well as for the benefit of
losses available to be carried forward to future years for tax purposes, only if it is more likely than not that they can be
realized. Future income tax assets are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates at the date of enactment or
substantive enactment.
Loss per Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss for the year by the weighted average number of shares outstanding
during the year. Diluted loss per share is equal to basic loss per share since the effect of outstanding warrants and options is
excluded in the calculation as they are anti-dilutive.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses for a period. Significant areas requiring the use of estimates include stock-based
compensation, impairment of mineral properties, asset retirement obligations and future income tax asset valuation
allowances. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on other assumptions considered to be reasonable
under the circumstances. However, actual results may differ from the estimates.
Asset Retirement Obligations
The Company recognizes the fair value of the liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred
and records a corresponding increase in the carrying value of the related long-lived asset. Fair value is estimated using the
present value of the estimated future cash outflows. The liability is subsequently adjusted for the passage of time, and is
recognized as an accretion expense in the statements of operations. The increase in the carrying value of the asset is
amortized on the same basis as the related long-lived asset. The Company has not identified any asset retirement obligations
for the years ended July 31, 2009 and 2008.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d…)

Environmental Costs
Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations are expensed 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 expensed. Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable, and the costs
can be reasonably estimated. Generally, the timing of these accruals coincides with the earlier of completion of a feasibility
study or the Company’s commitment to a plan of action based on the then known facts.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-term assets are reviewed when changes in circumstances suggest their carrying value has become impaired.
Management considers assets to be impaired if the carrying value exceeds the estimated undiscounted future projected cash
flows to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. 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.
Financial instruments
The Company classifies financial assets and liabilities as held-for-trading, available-for-sale, held-to maturity, loans and
receivables or other financial liabilities depending on their nature. Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized at
fair value on their initial recognition, except for those arising from certain related party transactions which are accounted for
at the transferor’s carrying amount or exchange amount in accordance with the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountant
(“CICA”) Handbook Section 3840, “Related Party Transactions”.

Financial assets and liabilities classified as held-for-trading are measured at fair value, with gains and losses recognized in net
income. Financial assets classified as held-to-maturity, loans and receivables, and financial liabilities other than those
classified as held-for-trading are measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest method of amortization. Financial
assets classified as available-for-sale are measured at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses being recognized as other
comprehensive income until realized, or if an unrealized loss is considered other than temporary, the unrealized loss is
recorded in income. The Company has elected to account for transaction costs related to the issuance of financial instruments
as a reduction of the carrying value of the related financial instruments.
The Company classified its cash and cash equivalents and its marketable securities as held-for-trading, and its accounts
payable as other financial liabilities.

Comprehensive Ioss

Comprehensive loss reflects net loss and other comprehensive loss for the period. Other comprehensive loss includes changes
in unrealized foreign currency translation amounts arising from self-sustaining foreign operations, unrealized gains and losses
on available-for-sale assets and changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges to the extent they are
effective.
Share issue costs
Professional, consulting, regulatory and other costs directly attributable to financing transactions are recorded as deferred
financing costs until the financing transactions are completed, if the completion of the transaction is considered likely;
otherwise they are expensed as incurred. Share issue costs are charged to share capital when the related shares are issued.
Deferred financing costs related to financing transactions that are not completed are charged to expenses.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Goodwill and intangible assets
In February 2008, the Accounting Standards Board ("AcSB") issued CICA Handbook Section 3064, “Goodwill and
Intangible Assets”, which replaces Section 3062, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets”, and Section 3450, “Research and
Development Costs”. Section 3064 establishes standards for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of goodwill and
intangible assets. This new standard is effective for the Company’s interim and annual consolidated financial statements
commencing August 1, 2009. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the new standard and has not yet determined
its effect on the Company’s financial statements.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (cont’d…)
Business combinations, consolidated financial statements and non-controlling interests
In January 2009, the CICA issued Handbook Sections 1582 “Business Combinations”, 1601 “Consolidated Financial
Statements” and 1602 “Non-Controlling Interests” which replace CICA Handbook Sections 1581 “Business Combinations”
and 1600 “Consolidated Financial Statements”. Section 1582 establishes standards for the accounting for business
combinations that is equivalent to the business combination accounting standard under IFRS. Section 1601 together with
Section 1602 establishes standards for the preparation of consolidated financial statements. These sections are applicable for
the Company’s interim and annual consolidated financial statements for its fiscal year beginning on or after January 1, 2011.
Early adoption of these Sections is permitted and all three Sections must be adopted concurrently. The Company does not
expect that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”)
In January 2006, the AcSB adopted a strategic plan for the direction of accounting standards in Canada. As part of that plan,
accounting standards in Canada for public companies will converge with International Financial Reporting Standards
("IFRS"). On February 13, 2008, the AcSB confirmed that the standards will become effective for all publicly accountable
enterprises in interim and annual financial statements for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011. The Company
continues to monitor and assess the impact of convergence of Canadian GAAP and IFRS.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The Company has incurred losses since inception and as of July 31, 2009 had an accumulated deficit of $2,481,170. The
Company expects to report substantial net losses for the foreseeable future. The Company has not paid any cash or other
dividends on its common stock and does not expect to pay any dividends, as all available funds will be invested primarily to
further its mineral exploration programs. The Company will need to achieve profitability prior to any dividends being
declared.

Dilution

The Company has limited financial resources and has financed its operations through the sale of common shares. The
Company will need to continue its reliance on the sale of such securities for future financing resulting in dilution to the
Company’s existing shareholders.

Capital Risk

The amount of financial resources available to the Company to invest for the enhancement of shareholder value is dependent
upon the size of the treasury, profitable operations, and the ability of the Company to issue common shares or obtain debt
financing. Due to the size of the Company, financial resources are limited and if the Company exceeds growth expectations
or finds investment opportunities it may require debt or equity financing. There is no assurance that the Company will be able
to obtain additional financial resources that may be required to successfully finance transactions or compete in its markets on
favourable commercial terms.

Dependence on Key Personnel

Loss of certain members of the executive team or key operational leaders of the company could have a disruptive effect on the
implementation of the Company’s business strategy and the efficient running of day-to-day operations until their replacement
is found. Recruiting professional personnel is time consuming, expensive and competitive. The Company may be unable to
retain its key employees or attract, assimilate, retain or train other necessary qualified employees, which may restrict its
growth potential.

General Risk Associated with the Mining Industry

The Company is engaged in the exploration and development of mineral deposits. These activities involve significant risks
which careful evaluation, experience and knowledge may not, in some cases eliminate. The commercial viability of any
mineral deposit depends on many factors not all of which are within the control of management. Some of the factors that
affect the financial viability of a given mineral deposit include its size, grade and proximity to infrastructure, government
regulation, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, environmental protection and reclamation and closure obligations, have an
impact on the economic viability of a mineral deposit. Management attempts to mitigate its exploration risk by maintaining a
diversified portfolio, our strategy of joint ventures with other companies on a number of properties is a factor which balances
risk while at the same time allowing properties to be advanced.

Management believes that climate change will have minimal effect on its current operations except that the length of field
seasons may be affected to a minor extent. Management does however expect government regulation to increase as greater
scrutiny is directed towards mining and its affects on climates and local environments. Management will monitor the trends as
they develop and relevant literature to determine whether there are future effects on operations.

Foreign Currency Risk

The Company intends to continue business in South America and may conduct business in other foreign jurisdictions. In
addition, prices of commodities mined are primarily quoted in US dollars as are the costs of development and equipment
expenditures. Recent fluctuations in the Canadian dollar will have an impact on the mining industry and we will continue to
be mindful of the effects on the Company of currency fluctuations.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS
Pacific Coast Nickel Corp. (formerly Fargo Capital Corp.) (the “Company”) was incorporated under the
Business Corporations Act of B.C. on April 5, 2006. The Company was classified as a Capital Pool
Company (“CPC”) as defined in TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”) Policy 2.4. On July 10, 2007, the
Company completed its qualifying transaction and began trading under the symbol NKL. The Company is
now a mineral exploration company.
Exploration Stage and Going Concern
The Company is in the exploration stage. No revenues have been earned to date from its operations.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared using Canadian generally accepted accounting
principles (“GAAP”) applicable for a going concern which assumes that the Company will realize its assets
and discharge its liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The Company has accumulated losses of
$2,802,866 to July 31, 2009. Its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the
Company to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and pay its liabilities arising from normal
business operations when they come due. These consolidated financial statements do not include any
adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the
Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

2. ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Effective August 1, 2008, The Company adopted the new accounting standards issued by the Canadian
Institute of Chartered Accountants (“CICA”) Handbook. Section 1535 “Capital Disclosures”, Section 3862
“Financial Instruments – Disclosures” and Section 3863 “Financial Instruments – Presentation” which
replaced Section 3861 “Financial Instruments – Disclosure and Presentation” and Section 1400 “Going
Concern”.
Section 1535
Section 1535 applies to all entities regardless of whether they have financial instruments or are subject to
external capital requirements. This new section establishes standards for disclosing information about an
entity’s capital and how it is managed. Disclosure requirements pertaining to this section are contained in
Note #18
Section 3862 & 3863
Section 3862 outlines the disclosure requirements for financial instruments and non-financial derivatives
and places increased emphasis on disclosure regarding concentrations of risk, liquidity risk and price risk
associated with both recognized and unrecognized financial instruments and how these risks are managed.
The principles in this section complement the principles for recognizing, measuring and presenting
financial assets and financial liabilities in section 3855, Financial Instruments – Recognition and
Measurement, Section 3863, Financial Instruments – Presentation, and Section 3865, Hedges (See Note
#17). Section 3863 is required to enhance financial statement users’ understanding of the significance of
financial instruments to an entity’s financial position, performance and cash flows. This section establishes
standards for presentation of financial instruments and non-financial derivatives. It deals with the
classification of financial instruments, from the perspective of the issuer, between liabilities and equity, the
classification of related interest, dividends, losses and gains, and the circumstances in which financial
assets and financial liabilities are offset.


2. ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (cont’d…)
Section 1400
This section provides revised guidance on management’s responsibility to assess and disclose the
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The adoption of this standard had no significant impact
on these consolidated financial statements.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally
accepted accounting principles. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries PCNC Holdings Corp., Pacific Coast Nickel Corp. USA and
Pacific Nickel Sudamerica Sociedad Anonima, Uruguay. All significant inter-company balances and
transactions have been eliminated.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of cash and highly liquid short-term investments with a maturity
of less than 90 days from the date of acquisition, or which are redeemable at the option of the Company.
Mineral Properties
The Company defers the cost of acquiring, maintaining its interest, exploring and developing mineral
properties until such time as the properties are placed into production, abandoned, sold or considered to be
impaired in value. Costs of producing properties will be amortized on a unit of production basis and costs
of abandoned properties are written-off. Proceeds received on the sale of interests in mineral properties are
credited to the carrying value of mineral properties, with any excess included in operations. Write-downs
due to impairment in value are charged to operations.
The Company is in the process of exploring and developing its mineral properties and has not yet
determined the amount of reserves available. Management reviews the carrying value of mineral properties
on a periodic basis and will recognize impairment in value based upon current exploration results, the
prospect of further work being carried out by the Company, the assessment of future revenues from the
property or from the sale of the property. Amounts shown for the properties represent costs incurred net of
write-downs and recoveries, and are not intended to represent present or future values.
Flow-Through Shares
The Company has financed a portion of its exploration activities through the issuance of flow-through
shares. Under the terms of the flow-through share agreements, the tax attributes of the related exploration
expenditures are renounced to subscribers. To recognize the foregone tax benefits to the Company, the
carrying value of the shares issued is reduced by the tax effect of the tax benefits renounced to subscribers.
The Company follows the recommendations of EIC-146 with respect to flow-through shares. The
application of EIC-146 requires the recognition of the foregone tax benefit on the date the Company
renounces the tax credits associated with the exploration expenditures, provided there is reasonable
assurance that the expenditures will be made.
Equipment
Equipment is recorded at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is provided over the estimated
useful life of the asset using the declining balance method at annual rates of between 20% and 30% with
one-half year’s amortization recorded in the year of acquisition.


3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d…)
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company’s consolidated financial statements are expressed in Canadian dollars. The accounts of
integrated foreign operations, which are initially recorded in United States dollars and Argentina Pesos,
have been translated into Canadian dollars using the temporal method. Monetary assets and liabilities
originating in foreign currencies are translated at the prevailing rates of exchange at the balance sheet date.
Expenses and income are translated at the rates of exchange in effect on the dates of the related
transactions. Non-monetary items are translated at the rates in effect when the items were acquired.
Exchange gains and losses arising on translation are included in determining current earnings.
The Company has a stock-based compensation plan as disclosed in Note 9 whereby stock options are
granted and share purchase warrants are issued in accordance with the policies of regulatory authorities.
The fair value of all options and warrants is charged as a compensation cost over their respective vesting
period with a corresponding increase to contributed surplus. Upon exercise of options and warrants, the
consideration paid by the holder, together with the amount previously recognized in contributed surplus, is
recorded as an increase to share capital. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to
calculate the fair value of stock-based compensation.
Income Taxes
The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method,
current income taxes are recognized for the estimated income taxes payable for the current period. Future
income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary differences between the tax and accounting
bases of assets and liabilities as well as for the benefit of losses available to be carried forward to future
years for tax purposes, only if it is more likely than not that they can be realized. Future income tax assets
are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates at the date of enactment or substantive
enactment.
Loss per Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss for the year by the weighted average number of
shares outstanding during the year. Diluted loss per share is equal to basic loss per share since the effect of
outstanding warrants and options is excluded in the calculation as they are anti-dilutive.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for a period. Significant areas
requiring the use of estimates include stock-based compensation, impairment of mineral properties, asset
retirement obligations and income taxes. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on
other assumptions considered to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual results may differ
from the estimates.
Asset Retirement Obligations
The Company recognizes the fair value of the liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in
which it is incurred and records a corresponding increase in the carrying value of the related long-lived
asset. Fair value is estimated using the present value of the estimated future cash outflows. The liability is
subsequently adjusted for the passage of time, and is recognized as an accretion expense in the statements


of operations. The increase in the carrying value of the asset is amortized on the same basis as the related
long-lived asset. The Company has not identified any asset retirement obligations for the years ended July
31, 2009 and 2008.
Environmental Costs
Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations are expensed 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 expensed. Liabilities are recorded when environmental
assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable, and the costs can be reasonably estimated. Generally, the
timing of these accruals coincides with the earlier of completion of a feasibility study or the Company’s
commitment to a plan of action based on the then known facts.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-term assets are reviewed when changes in circumstances suggest their carrying value has become
impaired. Management considers assets to be impaired if the carrying value exceeds the estimated
undiscounted future projected cash flows to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. 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.
Financial instruments
The Company classifies financial assets and liabilities as held-for-trading, available-for-sale, held-to
maturity, loans and receivables or other financial liabilities depending on their nature. Financial assets and
financial liabilities are recognized at fair value on their initial recognition, except for those arising from
certain related party transactions which are accounted for at the transferor’s carrying amount or exchange
amount in accordance with the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountant (“CICA”) Handbook Section
3840, “Related Party Transactions”.

Financial assets and liabilities classified as held-for-trading are measured at fair value, with gains and
losses recognized in net income. Financial assets classified as held-to-maturity, loans and receivables, and
financial liabilities other than those classified as held-for-trading are measured at amortized cost, using the
effective interest method of amortization. Financial assets classified as available-for-sale are measured at
fair value, with unrealized gains and losses being recognized as other comprehensive income until realized,
or if an unrealized loss is considered other than temporary, the unrealized loss is recorded in income. The
Company has elected to account for transaction costs related to the issuance of financial instruments as a
reduction of the carrying value of the related financial instruments.
The Company classified its cash and cash equivalents and its marketable securities as held-for-trading, and
its accounts payable as other financial liabilities.
Comprehensive Ioss
Comprehensive loss reflects net loss and other comprehensive loss for the period. Other comprehensive loss
includes changes in unrealized foreign currency translation amounts arising from self-sustaining foreign
operations, unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale assets and changes in the fair value of
derivatives designated as cash flow hedges to the extent they are effective.


Share issue costs
Professional, consulting, regulatory and other costs directly attributable to financing transactions are
recorded as deferred financing costs until the financing transactions are completed, if the completion of the
transaction is considered likely; otherwise they are expensed as incurred. Share issue costs are charged to
share capital when the related shares are issued. Deferred financing costs related to financing transactions
that are not completed are charged to expenses.

4. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Goodwill and intangible assets
In February 2008, the Accounting Standards Board ("AcSB") issued CICA Handbook Section 3064,
“Goodwill and Intangible Assets”, which replaces Section 3062, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets”, and
Section 3450, “Research and Development Costs”. Section 3064 establishes standards for the recognition,
measurement and disclosure of goodwill and intangible assets. This new standard is effective for the
Company’s interim and annual consolidated financial statements commencing August 1, 2009. The
Company is currently assessing the impact of the new standard and has not yet determined its effect on the
Company’s financial statements.
Business combinations, consolidated financial statements and non-controlling interests
In January 2009, the CICA issued Handbook Sections 1582 “Business Combinations”, 1601 “Consolidated
Financial Statements” and 1602 “Non-Controlling Interests” which replace CICA Handbook Sections 1581
“Business Combinations” and 1600 “Consolidated Financial Statements”. Section 1582 establishes
standards for the accounting for business combinations that is equivalent to the business combination
accounting standard under IFRS. Section 1601 together with Section 1602 establishes standards for the
preparation of consolidated financial statements. These sections are applicable for the Company’s interim
and annual consolidated financial statements for its fiscal year beginning on or after January 1, 2011. Early
adoption of these Sections is permitted and all three Sections must be adopted concurrently. The Company
does not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on the Company’s financial
statements.
International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”)
In January 2006, the AcSB adopted a strategic plan for the direction of accounting standards in Canada. As
part of that plan, accounting standards in Canada for public companies will converge with International
Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). On February 13, 2008, the AcSB confirmed that the standards
will become effective for all publicly accountable enterprises in interim and annual financial statements for
fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011. The Company continues to monitor and assess the
impact of convergence of Canadian GAAP and IFRS.

5. EXPLORATION DEPOSIT
At July 31, 2009, cash equivalents included $408 (2008 - $402,486) held by the operator of the Burwash
Property (Note 8) exploration program.

6. RECLAMATION DEPOSIT
The reclamation deposit was a deposit recorded at cost and held as security by the Ministry of Energy and
Mines with regards to the Big Nic Property. At July 31, 2008 the Company abandoned its interest in the Big
Nic Property and during the period the reclamation deposit was repaid to the Company.

17. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair value estimates of financial instruments are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant
information about financial markets and specific financial instruments. As these estimates are subjective in
nature, involving uncertainties and matters of significant judgement, they cannot be determined with
precision. Changes in assumptions can significantly affect estimated fair values.

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts
receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents and
accounts payable approximate their carrying values because of their current nature. The fair value of
marketable securities is determined directly by reference to quoted market prices.

The Company is exposed to certain risks through the use of financial instruments, including market risk
(currency risk, interest rate risk and commodity risk), credit risk, and liquidity risk. The Company manages
its exposure to risk through the identification and analysis of risks faced by the Company, setting
appropriate risk limits and controls, and monitoring those risk and adherence to the limits and controls that
are established. Risk management is carried out by senior management under the approval of the Board of
Directors. Risk management practices are reviewed regularly by senior management and the Audit
Committee to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company’s activities.

Market risk:

exchange rates, commodity and equity prices. The Company does not actively trade in marketable
securities. As of July 31, 2009 the Company had $44,149 invested in marketable securities and periodically
monitors the investments it makes. It is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to
significant market risk.


17. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (cont’d…)

i. Currency risk:

The Company has operations in both Canada and in Uruguay and is exposed to foreign exchange
risk due to fluctuations in the Argentinean Peso. Foreign exchange arises from purchase
transactions as well as financial assets and liabilities denominated in the Argentinean Peso. The
Company’s reporting and functional currency is Canadian dollars.

accounts payable and accrued liabilities in Argentinean Peso. The company currently does not use
any foreign exchange contracts to hedge this currency risk.

management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest risk.

The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to commodity and equity prices. Equity price
risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on the Company’s earnings due to movements
individual equity prices or general movements in the level of stock market. Commodity price risk
is defined as the potential adverse impact on earnings and economic value due to commodity price
movements and volatilities. The Company closely monitors commodity prices, individual equity
movements and the stock market to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the
Company. Fluctuations in value may be significant.

Credit risk:

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss associated with a counterparty’s inability to fulfil its payment
obligations.

The Company does not currently generate any revenues from sales to customers nor does it hold derivative
type instruments that would require a counterparty to fulfil a contractual obligation. The Company does not
have any asset-backed commercial instruments.

Financial instruments that potentially subject the company to credit risk consist of cash and cash
equivalents and accounts receivable. The company places its cash and cash equivalents with high credit
quality financial institutions.

obligations.
