ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
					General Overview
Magnus is currently in the exploration stage and is engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of precious and base metal properties around the world. primary focus of the Company has been the exploration and development of gold properties in China. To this end, the Company has entered, and plans to enter, various joint venture agreements with Chinese parties and entities (see “Letters of Intent and Preliminary Agreements” and “Joint Venture Agreements” below). Generally, these joint venture arrangements require the Company to contribute capital toward the exploration and development of various properties while requiring the Chinese individual or entity to obtain mineral rights for desirable mineral properties in China, and obtain all required permits and licenses to commence exploration and mining activities. The Chinese venture partner may also provide geological expertise and carry out geological
				evaluations of joint venture properties. In the future, the Company may also set up wholly foreign invested enterprises in order to acquire mineral mining or exploration rights in China.
				We are incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada, USA on April 4, 2001 and have a July 31st fiscal year end.

Letters of Intent and Preliminary Agreements
On October 5, 2006 Magnus announced that it had entered into a letter of intent to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares in the capital of African Mineral Fields Inc., a British Virgin Islands company, which holds an exclusive option to acquire 100% interests in four gold projects in Uganda. Graham Taylor, President, CEO and a director of Magnus, is the founder, sole director and majority shareholder of African Mineral Fields Inc. See “Subsequent Events”, below, for further detail.
Joint Venture Agreements
Yunnan Long Teng Mining Ltd.
On July 6, 2004, the Company signed a formal cooperative joint venture contract (“JV Agreement”) with Team 209 to form a new cooperative joint venture company, Yunnan Long Teng Mining Ltd. (“Long Teng Mining”), a Sino-foreign Chinese corporation, to carry out minerals exploration and development in an 83.29 square kilometer area of Huidong County in Sichuan Province. Under the JV Agreement, if either Magnus or Team 209 acquires any further mining rights for the area surrounding the Exploration License areas then the respective party must, on a first priority basis, transfer such mining rights to Long Teng Mining for a fee permitted by law or at an appropriate price.
			The operations of the joint venture company are managed under the control of Magnus. Magnus is to contribute $5,000,000 as an equity investment into Long Teng Mining over the next 3-5 years and Team 209 is responsible for transferring certain gold and copper exploration permits for the Properties to Long Teng Mining. Upon full capital contributions by Magnus and the transfer of the exploration permits by Team 209, Magnus will own 90% and Team 209 will own 10% of Long Teng Mining.
			With respect to the $5,000,000 equity investment into Long Teng Mining by Magnus, Magnus is required to contribute not less than $460,000 within three months after the issuance of the Long Teng Mining business license; $1,000,000 within twenty four (24) months after the issuance of the Long Teng Mining business license; $1,550,000 within thirty-six (36) months after the issuance of the Long Teng Mining business license; and based on the results of the exploration by Long Teng Mining, if required, an additional $1,990,000 within forty-eight (48) months after the issuance of the Long Teng Mining business license. The capital contribution by Magnus is subject to
				certain conditions precedent being satisfied. If further funding is required for carrying out more exploration and development activities, Magnus will be responsible for providing such funding; however, Team 209 will remain a 10% owner of Long Teng Mining.
				On September 29, 2004, this JV Agreement was approved by the Chinese Government and a business license for Long Teng Mining was issued. The exploration license for the Huidong property was successfully transferred into the Joint Venture Company, Long Teng Mining, on July 27, 2005.
				On July 1, 2006, Magnus assigned its rights to Long Teng Mining to its wholly-owned subsidiary, Yunnan Long Teng Mining (BVI) Inc.
				As of July 31, 2006, Magnus had made $2,680,000 in capital contributions to Long Teng Mining.
Yunnan Western Mining, Ltd.
On July 26, 2005, Magnus and First Fortune Investments Inc. entered into a Letter Agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) whereby Magnus agreed to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Golden River Resources Corp., a private British Columbia company (“Golden River”), which was owned by First Fortune Investments Inc., and which was participating in a co-operative joint venture with Team 209 pursuant to an agreement dated August 29, 2003 (the “Mangshi Joint Venture”), between Golden River and Team 209. The acquisition pursuant to the Letter Agreement between Magnus and First Fortune closed on November 25, 2005.
				Under the Mangshi Joint Venture, Golden River and Team 209 formed a sino-foreign joint venture company, Yunnan Western Mining Ltd. (“Western Mining”). The Mangshi Joint Venture gives Golden River the right to earn a 90% interest in Western Mining, which holds a mineral exploration license comprising approximately 113.96 square kilometers. The license is located in the Luxi Gold Belt in the western part of Yunnan Province, People’s Republic of China, and the property is known as the Mangshi Property (“Mangshi”).
				Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, Magnus has acquired 100% of the shares of Golden River and the Company has assumed all of Golden River’s obligations and benefits under the terms of the Mangshi Joint Venture as of the closing date (November 25, 2005). The terms of the Mangshi Joint Venture will require the Company to expend, through its sino-foreign joint venture company, Yunnan Western Mining Ltd., a total of $3,010,000 on the area covered by the exploration license over a period of roughly four years. The amended Mangshi Joint Venture capital contribution schedule, which was approved by the Yunnan Provincial government, will require the following capital contributions by the following dates: $500,000 by December 31, 2005; an additional $1,000,000 by December 31, 2006; and an additional $1,510,000 by December 31, 2007. Increments of 30% interest in Western Mining shall be earned for every aggregate of $1,000,000 contributed by the Company. Team 209 will retain a carried interest of 10% in Western Mining upon the completion of the contributions by the Company of the aggregate total of $3,010,000. Further contributions by the Company beyond $3,010,000 will not dilute the 10% carried interest of Team 209.
				As of July 31, 2006, Magnus had contributed $1,400,000 to Yunnan Western Mining.
				Within the Mangshi exploration area are two smaller mining permits where Team 209 is conducting small scale heap leach mining operations. On October 29, 2005, the Company (through Western Mining) agreed to purchase these mining permits from Team 209 (from a division of Team 209 known as 209 Geo-brigade of Yunnan Provincial Nuclear Industry, Mangshi Gold Mine). Under the mining license transfer agreement (the “Transfer Agreement”), the mining license containing the permits will be transferred to Western Mining (the joint venture company holding the larger exploration license). The existing heap leach operations will continue to be operated by Team 209 under the Transfer Agreement, but only to a maximum depth of 15 meters, only for a maximum period of 3 years from the date of execution and only for resources (gold in loose unconsolidated red soil) as defined under the agreement. Magnus maintains an option to purchase the existing estimated resources within the mining license.
				Magnus is in the process of having the mining permits appraised, which is a necessary step under Chinese law before a formal request to transfer a mining license between two parties can be made. The Company has submitted a valuation report and is awaiting further comment from the government on this. Formal license transfer can then proceed after this valuation approval. On June 26, 2006, Magnus, through its joint venture subsidiary, Yunnan Western Mining Ltd. ("Western Mining"), entered into an agreement (the "Agreement") to purchase all of the assets of the Mangshi Gold Mine of Team 209 (the "Mangshi Gold Mine"), a subsidiary of Geological Team 209 of the Nuclear Industry Department of the Peoples Republic of China ("Team 209") in exchange for payment of an aggregate of 22,000,000 RMB over the next three years. with its mining and exploration activities at Mangshi to date.
The Agreement provided that Western Mining would assign a team of specialists to confirm the exploration data of Mangshi Gold Mine and based on the report to be delivered by the specialists, Western Mining would determine whether to accept the mining license and the mining assets.
Based on management’s decision to focus efforts on the Company’s Huidong drilling program, the Company has decided not to close on the Agreement. Thus, for the time being, Mangshi Gold Mine will be allowed to continue its mining activities in designated areas of the Mangshi property, until the mining concession becomes the property of Magnus under the existing, October 29, 2005 agreement (see below).
On October 29, 2005, the Company, through Western Mining, agreed to purchase the Mangshi mining license from Team 209 in exchange for 150,000 shares of common stock of the Company. Under that mining license transfer agreement, the mining license holding the permits were to be transferred to Western Mining, while the existing heap leach operations were to be allowed to continue to be operated by Team 209, but only to a maximum depth of 15 meters, only for a maximum period of 3 years from the date of execution and only for resources (gold in loose unconsolidated red soil) as defined under the agreement. The Company maintained an option to purchase the existing estimated resources within the mining license at any time. Under the current agreement, all existing mining rights immediately pass to Western Mining, and Western Mining plans to start operating the heap leach pads in the near future.
Other Projects
The Company actively investigates other areas in search of additional properties and additional joint venture opportunities.
In April 20, 2006, Magnus had signed a license acquisition agreement with the Geologic Bureau of the Qinghai Provincial Nuclear Industry (“Qinghai Bureau”) under which Magnus has agreed to pay RMB 3,200,000 (approximately US $400,000) to acquire a 100% interest in a gold exploration license covering the Manzhanggang gold mining area, comprising an area of 50 square km.
Under the agreement, Magnus was to acquire a 33.36 square km exploration license currently held by the Qinghai Bureau, and the Qinghai Bureau was obligated to assist Magnus in acquiring an approximately 17 square kilometer adjacent concession for which a license expansion application is underway.
To hold the exploration license, Magnus was in the process of forming a Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprise, or WFOE, which allows foreign enterprises to own property and conduct business in China under certain guidelines. Once the formation of the WFOE was approved, the exploration license was to be transferred to it and all exploration activities conducted through the WFOE. Magnus had signed the transfer agreement directly on behalf of the to-be-formed WFOE.
Based on management’s decision to focus efforts on the Company’s efforts in China on its Huidong drilling program, the Company has decided to put the formation of the WFOE and the transfer of the Manzhanggang gold mining license on indefinite hold. The Qinghai Bureau and Magnus have agreed to
				consider the possibility of a future agreement in relation to Manzhanggang when Magnus has the additional time and resources required to conduct a comprehensive exploration program there.
Corporate Structure
The Board of Directors authorized a decision to re-domicile Golden River Resources Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, from British Columbia, Canada, to Nevis, in the West Indies. This re-domicile was effective on March 20, 2006.
Notes:
(1) Under a joint venture agreement with Team 209, upon making full capital contributions the Company will own 90% of Yunnan Long Teng Mining Ltd. and Team 209 will own 10%.
				(2) Under a joint venture agreement with Team 209, upon making full capital contributions the Company will own 90% of Yunnan Western Mining Ltd. and Team 209 will own 10%.
Employees
As of July 31, 2006, the Company had 4 full-time employees (over and above its directors, officers and consultants), employed at the Company’s office in Vancouver, British Columbia (three in an administrative capacity and one as a bookkeeper). The Company uses consultants with specific skills to assist with various aspects of its project evaluation, due diligence, acquisition initiatives, corporate governance and property management.
				The Company’s Chinese joint venture companies, Long Teng and Western Mining, have hired a large number of employees and contractors, mainly from Team 209, to explore their respective properties. Contract workers and groups are used by the Company on an ad hoc basis to assist in conducting the exploration programs, and the number used may fluctuate based on the exploration activities going on at any given time. These entities also have various administrative, accounting and management staff. Currently, Long Teng employs 11 people, and Western Mining employs 6 people. As we require, we contract people from Team 209 and as of July 31, 2006 this number was approximately 30 for both projects inclusive.
Other Property Interests and Mining Claims
While the Company is actively seeking new prospects and is currently in the process of attempting to acquire African Mineral Fields Inc., it currently only has interests in the above noted joint venture properties in China.
Government Regulation
Mining operations and exploration activities are subject to various national, state, provincial and local laws and regulations in the United States, Canada and China, as well as other jurisdictions, which govern prospecting, development, mining, production, exports, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, protection of the environment, mine safety, hazardous substances and other matters. The Company has pending applications for those licenses, permits and other authorizations currently required to conduct its explorations in China (through its joint venture companies). In China, joint venture agreements, business licenses for joint venture companies, and the acquisition and transfer of exploration and mining permits are all acquired subject to government approval. Such approval may involve many levels of government (i.e. Federal, Provincial, County and/or City approval), and the Company cannot guarantee that all such approvals will be successfully obtained even where a joint venture has been successfully established. Moreover, even where joint venture agreements obtain government approval and business licenses are issued, there can be no guarantee that the transfer and/or acquisition of exploration and/or mining permits will be approved, nor can the Company guarantee that such approvals will be obtained from all levels of government required for such approval.
				The Company believes that it is and will continue to be in compliance in all material respects with applicable statutes and the regulations passed in China. There are no current orders or directions relating to the Company with respect to the foregoing laws and regulations.
Environmental Regulation
The Company's exploration projects are subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations governing protection of the environment, both in North America and in China. These laws are continually changing and, as a general matter, are becoming more restrictive. The Company's policy is to conduct business in a way that safeguards public health and the environment. The Company believes that its operations are conducted in material compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
				Changes to current local, state or federal laws and regulations in the jurisdictions where the Company operates or may operate in the future could require additional capital expenditures and increased operating costs. Although the Company is unable to predict what additional legislation, if any, might be proposed or enacted, additional regulatory requirements could impact the economics of its projects.
				In the preceding year, there were no material environmental incidents or non-compliance with any applicable environmental regulations. The Company estimates that it will not incur material capital expenditures for environmental control facilities during the current fiscal year.
Competition
The Company competes with other mining companies in connection with the acquisition of prospective properties and joint venture projects. There is competition for the limited number of opportunities, some of which is with other companies having substantially greater financial resources than the Company. As a result, the Company may have difficulty acquiring attractive projects at reasonable prices.
The Company believes no single company has sufficient market power to affect the price or supply of gold or other minerals in the world market.
Subsequent Events
On October 5, 2006 Magnus announced that it had entered into a letter of intent to acquire African Mineral Fields Inc., a British Virgin Islands company which holds an exclusive option to acquire 100% interests in four gold projects in Uganda. Graham Taylor, President, CEO and a director of Magnus, is the founder, sole director and majority shareholder of African Mineral Fields. The acquisition comes as part of Magnus’ decision to expand its mineral portfolio into Africa.
Subject to definitive agreement, the Company intends to issue a total of six million common shares and two hundred thousand Series “B” preferred shares to acquire 100% of African Mineral fields, Inc., which is majority owned by Graham Taylor, President, CEO and director of the Company. The two hundred thousand Series “B” preferred shares will convert to up to two million common shares subject to the properties of African Mineral fields, Inc. developing a minimum of 250,000 resource category gold ounces and based upon one common share for each gold ounce in the inferred, resource and proven categories.
ITEM 1A.
ITEM 1A. Risk Factors
The following risk factors should be considered in connection with an evaluation of the business of the Company:
THE COMPANY'S LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR YOU TO JUDGE ITS PROSPECTS.
The Company has a limited operating history upon which an evaluation of the Company, its current business and its prospects can be based. You should consider any purchase of the Company's shares in light of the risks, expenses and problems frequently encountered by all companies in the early stages of its corporate development.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES ARE UNCERTAIN.
For the year ended July 31, 2006, the Company had an operating loss of $9,401,834. At July 31, 2006, the Company had working capital of $22,846. The Company may need to raise additional capital by way of an offering of equity securities, an offering of debt securities, or by obtaining financing through a bank or other entity. The Company has not established a limit as to the amount of debt it may incur nor has it adopted a ratio of its equity to debt allowance. If the Company needs to obtain additional financing, there is no assurance that financing will be available from any source, that it will be available on terms acceptable
				to us, or that any future offering of securities will be successful. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, there may be a significant dilution in the value of the Company’s outstanding common stock. The Company could suffer adverse consequences if it is unable to obtain additional capital which would cast substantial doubt on its ability to continue its operations and growth.
THE VALUE AND TRANSFERABILITY OF THE COMPANY'S SHARES MAY BE ADVERSELY IMPACTED BY THE LIMITED TRADING MARKET FOR ITS SHARES AND THE PENNY STOCK RULES.
There is only a limited trading market for the Company's shares. The Company's common stock is traded in the over-the-counter market and "bid" and "asked" quotations regularly appear on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol "MGNU". There can be no assurance that the Company's common stock will trade at prices at or above its present level, and an inactive or illiquid trading market may have an adverse impact on the market price. In addition, holders of the Company's common stock may experience substantial difficulty in selling their securities as a result of the "penny stock rules," which restrict the ability of brokers to sell certain securities of companies whose assets or revenues fall below the thresholds established by those rules.
FUTURE SALES OF SHARES MAY ADVERSELY IMPACT THE VALUE OF THE COMPANY'S STOCK.
If required, the Company may seek to raise additional capital through the sale of common stock. Future sales of shares by the Company or its stockholders could cause the market price of its common stock to decline.
MINERAL EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES ARE SPECULATIVE IN NATURE.
Resource exploration and development is a speculative business, characterized by a number of significant risks including, among other things, unprofitable efforts resulting not only from the failure to discover mineral deposits but from finding mineral deposits which, though present, are insufficient in quantity and quality to return a profit from production. The marketability of minerals acquired or discovered by the Company may be affected by numerous factors which are beyond the control of the Company and which cannot be accurately predicted, such as market fluctuations, the proximity and capacity of milling facilities, mineral markets and processing equipment and such other factors as government regulations, including regulations relating to royalties, allowable production, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection, the combination of which factors may result in the Company not receiving an adequate return of investment capital.
Substantial expenditures are required to establish ore reserves through drilling, to develop metallurgical processes to extract the metal from the ore and, in the case of new properties, to develop the mining and processing facilities and infrastructure at any site chosen for mining. Although substantial benefits may be derived from the discovery of a major mineralized deposit, no assurance can be given that minerals will be discovered in sufficient quantities and grades to justify commercial operations or that funds required for development can be obtained on a timely basis. Estimates of reserves, mineral deposits and production costs can also be affected by such factors as environmental permitting regulations and requirements, weather, environmental factors, unforeseen technical difficulties, unusual or unexpected geological formations and work interruptions. In addition, the grade of ore ultimately mined may differ from that indicated by drilling results. Short term factors relating to reserves, such as the need for orderly development of ore bodies or the processing of new or different grades, may also have an adverse effect on mining operations and on the results of operations. Material changes in ore reserves, grades, stripping ratios or recovery rates may affect the economic viability of any project.
THE COMPANY WILL BE SUBJECT TO OPERATING HAZARDS AND RISKS WHICH MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT THE COMPANY'S FINANCIAL CONDITION.
				Mineral exploration involves many risks, which even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome. The Company's operations will be subject to all the hazards and risks normally incidental to exploration, development and production of metals, such as unusual or unexpected formations, cave-ins or pollution, all of which could result in work stoppages, damage to property and possible environmental damage. The Company does not have general liability insurance covering its operations and does not presently intend to obtain liability insurance as to such hazards and liabilities. Payment of any liabilities as a result could have a materially adverse effect upon the Company's financial condition
THE COMPANY'S ACTIVITIES WILL BE SUBJECT TO ENVIRONMENTAL AND OTHER INDUSTRY REGULATIONS WHICH COULD HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON THE FINANCIAL CONDITION OF THE COMPANY.
The Company's activities are subject to environmental regulations promulgated by government agencies from time to time. Environmental legislation generally provides for restrictions and prohibitions on spills, releases or emissions of various substances produced in association with certain mining industry operations, such as seepage from tailing disposal areas, which would result in environmental pollution. A breach of such legislation may result in imposition of fines and penalties. In addition, certain types of operations require the submission and approval of environmental impact assessments. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner which means stricter standards and enforcement, fines and penalties for non-compliance are more stringent. Environmental assessments of proposed projects carry a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and directors, officers and employees. The cost of compliance with changes in governmental regulations could have an adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company.
The operations of the Company including exploration and development activities and commencement of production on its properties, require permits from various federal, state, provincial and local governmental authorities and such operations are and will be governed by laws and regulations governing prospecting, development, mining, production, exports, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, land use, environmental protection, mine safety and other matters. Companies engaged in the development and operation of mines and related facilities generally experience increased costs and delays in production and other schedules as a result of the need to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permits.
Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations, and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions thereunder, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing operations to cease or be curtailed, and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment, or remedial actions. Parties engaged in mining operations may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of the mining activities and may have civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed for violations of applicable laws or regulations and, in particular, environmental laws.
THE COMPANY IS SUBJECT TO A VARIETY OF APPROVAL REQUIREMENTS AT THE CHINESE CENTRAL, PROVINCIAL AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT LEVELS AND, IN PRACTICE, THERE IS SOME UNCERTAINTY SURROUNDING WHICH APPROVALS ARE ACTUALLY REQUIRED TO CONDUCT CERTAIN MINING AND EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES IN VARIOUS PARTS OF CHINA
In China, two levels of government primarily deal with the approval of the establishment of a foreign-invested joint venture in mineral exploration and mining (“Mining JV”): the central and the local (e.g., provincial or municipal). China’s Ministry of Commerce (“MOFCOM”) is the central-government-level ministry in charge of reviewing and approving the establishment of Mining JVs. Applications must be submitted to MOFCOM’s local-level counterparts for upward submission to MOFCOM. However, in practice, many provincial bureaus of commerce, such as those in Yunnan and Sichuan provinces, claim final approval authority and do not forward applications to MOFCOM. To our knowledge, MOFCOM is aware of this practice but has not taken any steps to intervene or take action against Mining JVs which have been approved only at the provincial level.
				Once MOFCOM, or its authorized local counterpart has issued its approval documents, the Chinese partners to the joint venture would then apply to China’s State Adminstration of Industry and Commerce or its authorized local counterpart for a business license. The issuance of the business license marks the legal establishment of a Mining JV and confirms the permitted scope of the Mining JV’s activities. The business license is subject to annual review and renewal.
The Ministry of Land and Resources (“MOLAR”) is the central-government-level ministry in charge of exploration and mining licenses. Generally speaking, MOLAR holds the final authority to issue exploration and mining licenses to Mining JVs; however, for projects in Yunnan and Sichuan provinces, it has delegated this authority to the respective provincial-level bureaus of land and resources in those provinces.
The Company's Mining JVs have obtained approvals from MOFCOM’s local counterparts in Sichuan and in Yunnan, but not from MOFCOM. MOFCOM has not challenged these approvals but, if it did, such a development would have a material adverse impact on the Company’s ability to operate. Finally, approvals and licenses obtained by the Company are subject to renewal, and such renewal is typically at the complete discretion of the responsible branch of government. If renewals for the Company’s current licenses, and any other approvals and licenses obtained by the Company in the future are not successfully obtained, this will have a material adverse impact on the Company’s ability to operate.
COMPETITION MAY HAVE AN IMPACT ON THE COMPANY'S ABILITY TO ACQUIRE ATTRACTIVE MINERAL PROPERTIES, WHICH MAY HAVE AN ADVERSE IMPACT ON THE COMPANY'S OPERATIONS.
Significant and increasing competition exists for the limited number of mineral acquisition opportunities available. As a result of this competition, some of which is with large established mining companies with substantial capabilities and greater financial and technical resources than the Company, the Company may be unable to acquire attractive mineral properties on terms it considers acceptable. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that any exploration program intended by the Company on properties it intends to acquire will yield any reserves or result in any commercial mining operation.
DOWNWARD FLUCTUATIONS IN METAL PRICES MAY SEVERELY REDUCE THE VALUE OF THE COMPANY.
The Company has no control over the fluctuations in the prices of the metals for which it is exploring. A significant decline in such prices would severely reduce the value of the Company.
THE COMPANY CURRENTLY RELIES ON CERTAIN KEY INDIVIDUALS AND THE LOSS OF ONE OF THESE CERTAIN KEY INDIVIDUALS COULD HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON THE COMPANY.
The Company's success depends to a certain degree upon certain key members of the management. These individuals are a significant factor in the Company's growth and success. The loss of the service of members of the management and certain key employees could have a material adverse effect on the Company. In particular, the success of the Company is highly dependant upon the efforts of the President, Treasurer, Secretary, CEO and director of the Company, Graham Taylor, the loss of whose services would have a material adverse effect on the success and development of the Company.
THE COMPANY DOES NOT MAINTAIN KEY MAN INSURANCE TO COMPENSATE THE COMPANY FOR THE LOSS OF CERTAIN KEY INDIVIDUALS.
The Company does not anticipate having key man insurance in place in respect of any of its senior officers or personnel, although the Board has discussed and investigated the prospect of obtaining key man insurance for Graham Taylor.
THE COMPANY’S PRESIDENT AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, GRAHAM TAYLOR, ALSO SERVES AS PRESIDENT, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND/OR DIRECTOR FOR SOME OTHER ACTIVE COMPANIES.
Mr. Taylor also serves as president, chief executive officer and/or director for other active companies, including African Mineral Fields Inc. (which conducts exploration activities in Africa), Australian Mineral Fields Inc. (which conducts exploration activities in Australia) and Arcview Entertainment Inc. (a motion picture distribution company based in Nevada). This list may also expand in the future.
Mr. Taylor currently devotes 60% of his time to Magnus, 20% to Australian Mineral Fields, 15% to African Mineral Fields, and 5% to Arcview Entertainment. As Mr. Taylor focuses a large part of his time on other companies, this may have a material adverse effect on the success and development of the Company.
WE ARE AN EXPLORATION STAGE COMPANY, AND THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT A COMMERCIALLY VIABLE DEPOSIT OR "RESERVE" EXISTS ON ANY PROPERTIES FOR WHICH THE COMPANY HAS, OR MIGHT OBTAIN, AN INTEREST.
The Company is an exploration stage company and cannot give assurance that a commercially viable deposit, or “reserve,” exists on any properties for which the Company currently has (through a joint venture agreement) or may have (through potential future joint venture agreements or acquisitions) an interest. Therefore, determination of the existence of a reserve depends on appropriate and sufficient exploration work and the evaluation of legal, economic, and environmental factors. If the Company fails to find a commercially viable deposit on any of its properties, its financial condition and results of operations will be materially adversely affected.
WE REQUIRE SUBSTANTIAL FUNDS MERELY TO DETERMINE WHETHER COMMERCIAL MINERAL DEPOSITS EXIST ON OUR PROPERTIES.
Any potential development and production of the Company’s exploration properties depends upon the results of exploration programs and/or feasibility studies and the recommendations of duly qualified engineers and geologists. Such programs require substantial additional funds. Any decision to further expand the Company’s operations on these exploration properties is anticipated to involve consideration and evaluation of several significant factors including, but not limited to:
Costs of bringing each property into production, including exploration work, preparation of production feasibility studies, and construction of production facilities;
Availability and costs of financing;
Ongoing costs of production;
Market prices for the minerals to be produced;
Environmental compliance regulations and restraints; and
Political climate and/or governmental regulation and control. 			
GENERAL MINING RISKS
Factors beyond the control of Magnus may affect the marketability of any substances discovered from any resource properties the Company may acquire. Metal prices, in particular gold and copper prices, have fluctuated widely in recent years. Government regulations relating to price, royalties, allowable production and importing and exporting of minerals can adversely affect the Company. There can be no certainty that the Company will be able to obtain all necessary licenses and permits that may be required to carry out exploration, development and operations on any projects it may acquire and environmental concerns about mining in general continue to be a significant challenge for all mining companies.

Property Descriptions
Huidong Joint Venture Property
Property Location
The 83 square kilometer Huidong property is located in Sichuan Province about 280 kilometers north of Kunming, a city of five million people in neighboring Yunnan Province. The property is located in the eastern region of Huidong County of Sichuan Province and belongs to Gan Hai Zi Township, Ye Niu Ping Township and part of Song Ping Township of Huidong County. Main access to the property is via county roads, with a county-to-township road heading west and simple roads linking each township. A major highway from Kunming running along the Jinsha Jiang River near the eastern boundary of the property is expected to be completed in 2006/7 which will dramatically improve access. Until then, access and transportation may be a challenge in some areas due to high mountains and deep valleys, and remote locations from the main highways. However, as stated, smaller roads exist throughout the property and chances are reasonable that prospective mining sites may be located in the vicinity of an existing utility road.
				The property is in a plateau region with an average altitude of 2,000 - 3,000 meters, and fierce earth surface cuts exist with relative height differences of some 1,000 meters in places. The Jinsha Jiang River passes through the eastern part of the property, at an altitude of approximately 680 meters. There are many seasonal rivers passing through the area heading east into the Jinsha Jiang River. The exploration area is located in subtropical climate, yet can be relatively chilly in the winter due to the higher altitudes. The annual average rainfall is 650 - 850 mm with a minimum annual rainfall of 570 mm. The majority of precipitation occurs between July and August (the rainy season), with a monthly rainfall of 150-200 mm. During the rainy season, access can become more challenging as roads become harder to navigate and, in more extreme cases, roads get washed out and must be repaired. However, we have also been constructing roads on the property in order to access areas where higher geochemical anomalies have been found, and access within the property is becoming better as a result.
Regional Geology
The Huidong Property lies along the Panxi Rift Zone, a series of north south trending faults and cross faults, structural weaknesses or cracks in the earth’s crust that were produced by shifts in tectonic plates. These faults, in turn, offered a structural and stratigraphic geological setting involving numerous shear zones that are ideal for the emplacement of large polymetallic mineralized systems. The whole Panxi Rift Zone is permeated with highly brecciated mineral systems.
				The extreme bending, breaking, and crushing of rock associated with these shifts leads to the creation of rolling and thrusting faults and fragmented breccia rock, creating pathways or voids within which gold and copper bearing fluids can migrate towards the earth’s surface.
				There are a number of government owned copper mines in the area, the closest being the Dongchuan Copper Camp about 50 kilometers southwest of Huidong. Over the past half century there has been little interest in gold exploration on the part of the Chinese federal government, which focused on the discovery and development of base metal deposits to support China’s industrial development.
The Boka Trend
Various geological indicators point to Huidong being on trend (in alignment) with the north south oriented fault system that controls the multi-zone Boka Trend, which to date has yielded discoveries over a 25-kilometer-plus corridor. A number of shear zones on the Magnus joint venture bear a strong resemblance to shears along this structural zone or trend, including a 9.5 kilometer strike length that hosts the approximate dozen Boka gold discoveries.
Numerous gold-in-soil anomalies at Huidong also suggest that the Boka trend continues onto the Huidong Property. Southwestern Resources Corp. confirmed that there is conclusive proof of the “positive association between mineralization at the Boka Gold Project and gold-in-soil anomalies.”
Regional Mining History
The Boka Gold Project and the Huidong Property straddle five major copper producing areas in the Sichuan and Yunnan provinces. This area includes one of China’s highest yield mining areas, the Dongchuan Copper Camp, which is located about 50 kilometers west of Huidong and has been mined for more than 500 years.
For the past 50 years, the Chinese government has focused on the development of copper mines in these areas in support of industrialization. While the government has not developed the gold deposits in the area, local artisanal miners have, over the last several decades, recovered gold from small alluvial deposits in the area’s rivers that drain unexplored mountain terrain, as they also have from the rivers and streams near Huidong and the Boka Project for many years.
Since the 1999 Boka gold discovery, small scale miners had success by digging pits and tunnels into the mountainsides, where some found rich gold mineralization. The regional
				government has recently intervened and put an end to individual mining, but the tunnels and pits left behind aided Southwestern Resources and its joint venture partner, Team 209, in identifying gold zones with the greatest potential.
The Boka Trend Discovery
A Chinese government exploration team made the first discovery in the Boka Trend in 1999 following a program of stream sediment sampling and soil geochemistry. The word of the discovery spread quickly. More than 1,000 artisanal miners moved in and dug up to 200 tunnels and pits into the mountainsides. Many high grade zones have been found in these tunnels, where coarse, visible gold is often present.
Artisanal miners had also begun extracting gold from the mountainsides on the Magnus Huidong Property, which lies across the Jinsha River from the Boka Gold Project. These pits and tunnels are a part of the initial focus of the Company’s exploration activities.
To date, about a dozen key discovery zones have been identified (which are confined to a specific stratigraphic horizon) within the 25-kilometer-plus structural zone or trend at the Boka Gold Project. Mapping, surveying and geochemical sampling of the approximately 200 tunnels and pits excavated by artisan miners sped up the identification process of these zones rapidly.
In July 2005 Southwestern Resources reported a current combined indicated and inferred resource at the Boka project of 5.4 million ounces of gold. This significant, newly discovered resource is expected to increase in size and grade as Southwestern continues with expansion and infill drilling. A preliminary assessment and engineering scoping study was completed on the first two zones of the Boka gold system by Hatch Limited, a worldwide engineering firm with extensive experience in China. The study adopted a conservative approach to ore estimation using protocols and procedures in compliance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101. The Hatch study considers the Boka Project to be one of the significant gold discoveries of recent years. Furthermore, capital and operating costs for mining operations in this part of China are reported to be low. The complete study is available at Southwestern's website at www.swgold.com.
Exploration Progress and Future Plans for the Huidong Property
Magnus and Team 209 are conducting a comprehensive gold and copper exploration program on the Huidong Property. The goal of the program is to define the extent of the gold and copper anomalies in the area. The program is well underway. Already completed were a two-stage geochemical soil and rock sampling program, and additional geological mapping and surveying to define targets for follow-up trenching, tunneling, and drilling. Generally, these exploration strategies are the same as those used at Boka, and they have helped the Company identify 3 potential target zones of high interest within the Huidong concession, as shown in the diagram below.
Figure 1: Huidong West / Dingjiaping (Target 1)
Follow up exploration work completed by Team 209 and Magnus in late 2005 within Target area 1 (including the completion of an infill sampling program) generated coherent gold (Au) in soil anomalies, including one contiguous soil gold anomaly extending over 1.15 square kilometers in an area designated by the local village name of Dinjiaping. The anomaly is outlined in more detail in the “Huidong Exploration Update with Diagrams” pdf report found at www.magnusresources.com. The thickest portion of this gold in soil anomaly commonly contains soil gold concentrations of 100 ppb Au and above. A concentration
				of 100 ppb or higher of gold in soil is considered to be clearly indicative of associated gold mineralization in the Huidong-Boka district.
				More detailed investigation of Priority Area 1 revealed the presence of old tunnels where historical gold mining has occurred. This is a very good indication of potentially high ore grades for gold since the gold concentrations in historical tunnels would typically have been high enough to warrant recovery by very labor-intensive and primitive mining methods. Rocks from these tunnels and other exposures away from tunnels have been sampled and analyzed for Au (gold). Thirteen of these sixteen rocks collected from the area of the 1.15 km2 soil returned Au concentrations of 1 g/tonne or higher, with the Au concentration range extending from below detection to as high as 7.2 g/tonne. Further, there were 21 surface rock samples with greater than 1 g/tonne Au based on limited surface sampling. The occurrence of gold-bearing rock samples at surface with these gold concentrations is considered highly encouraging.
Investigation of the surface gold features at Priority Area 1 continues. A road cut sampling program is well underway to better define Au mineralized zones inferred by geological mapping and apparent in the soil and rock geochemistry completed to date. The road building is underway to provide improved access to the strong soil Au geochemistry anomaly areas and expose potentially Au mineralized rocks where Au-enriched soils have been identified. The road building program also serves to provide drill rig access to the surface gold features at Priority Area 1, so that the exploration investigation can progress efficiently.
				The road construction has advanced well, with over 5 km having been constructed to date, and the road is now accessing the target area at Dingjiaping. Results have indicated soil samples containing up to 973 ppb Au in discrete areas that have been identified for follow up investigation.
Huidong East (Target 2)
A 4500 in-fill soil sampling program was commenced across all three target zones in late 2005 (guided by results from the 10,000 sample high and low density surveys conducted earlier in 2005), and analysis from 1227 soils taken from the eastern portion of the concession over an area referred to as Huidong East were received at the end of 2005.
				A strong Au-in soil anomaly has been defined that confirms the previous anomaly feature observed in pulverized soils, and sharpens it significantly due to the higher density 80m x 40m sample spacing employed in the infill soil sampling program.
				Soil Au analysis results over the Huidong East anomaly include strong Au-in-soil concentrations up to 438 ppb Au in a well-constrained area of approximately 1.6 km2. The soil Au concentrations at Huidong East compare extremely well with the 20 ppb Au soil concentration levels used to define significant Au mineralization at the Boka deposit, approximately 14 km to the south of this Au feature at Huidong East.
				Factor analysis completed on the soil data shows a clear element grouping among gold (Au), copper (Cu), and Arsenic (As), within the soil Au anomaly. Copper and Arsenic also are reported to occur in elevated concentrations in association with Au at Boka, and the same element association at Huidong East suggest a possible mineralization style similar to that observed at Boka.
Huidong South (Target 3)
Infill soil sample results were received from the 2005 infill sampling program for 1612 sites in the Huidong South area of the Huidong Concession. These soil analysis results provided the highest concentrations of gold and copper in soils observed on the Huidong Concession. The highest concentrations of gold and copper in soil were observed in a single sample containing 3014 ppb Au (over 3 g/tonne Au) and over 1% copper. This very high concentration of gold in soil occurred in a cluster of very high Au-in-soil concentrations. Of the 1612 soil samples analyzed from Huidong South, 577 soils contained greater than or equal to 20 ppb Au, 160 soils contained greater than or equal to 50 ppb Au, and 45 soils contained greater than or equal to 100 ppb Au.
				Current Drill Program and Geophysics Survey Results
				Geophysics surveys, including IP/Resistivity, magnetics and Time Domain EM (TDEM) surveys, were completed by Logantek Pty Limited (Sydney, Australia) and the Baoding Geophysical Exploration Bureau (GEB) from Hebei, China. The surveys used modern Western geophysical exploration instruments and sophisticated processing and interpretation software. The geophysics surveys were designed to detect fault zones as well as electrically conductive or chargeable rocks that are known to be associated with gold mineralization in the district.
				Drilling began in late June 2006, to test coincident sites of favorable geology, surface geochemical gold anomalies (soils and rock outcrop), and geophysical features at depth. Planned drilling locations are displayed in Figure 2, below.
Figure 2: Planned drilling locations at Dingjiaping and Huidong East - Huidong Concession
Dingjiaping
Road building at Dingjiaping has exposed new areas of mineralized rocks. These occur both proximal to artisan gold mining tunnels and in newly identified zones associated with gold-bearing soils. The current progress of roads and rock exposures is shown below. The parallel roads to the east are designed to expose anticipated mineralization along two distinct elevation contours.
Figure 3: Road progress, artisan gold mining tunnel locations, and soil geochemistry at Dingjiaping
				Drilling, being carried out using a Longyear LF-90 drill rig, at the Dingjiaping target area began on July 25, 2006. Progress to date has been excellent with an average of 35 to 40 meters per day being drilled.
				Magnus technical staff are encouraged by the styles of the sulphide mineralization that have been observed in the last two holes at Dingjiaping - DJP-3-06 and DJP-4-06. Sulphide mineralisation, mainly pyrite, that is associated with structural zones has been observed and is considered encouraging for potential gold mineralization. While the field observations are encouraging, Magnus’ management cautions investors that the Company must receive gold assay results from the analytical laboratory to determine the gold content, and a specific inference regarding the gold content of drill cores cannot be made.
Figure 4: Drill Targets at Dingjiaping
				A number of drill targets are being tested at Dingjiaping as displayed in Figure 4 above. Targets are based on careful geologic mapping, proximity to known gold-bearing artisan tunnels, very strong surface soil gold geochemistry in this target area, and high concentrations of gold in rock samples.
In general, a series of North-South and East-West fault zones and shear zones traverse the Dingjiaping area. Sites where these two sets of mineralized structural zones intersect or are met by other mapped faults and shears are considered especially favorable for large gold deposit systems, and will be tested in the planned drilling program.
				A summary of the holes drilled to date in Dingjiaping follows:
				1) DJP-1-06
				DJP-1-06 was planned to intersect extensions of the mineralized veins and structures exposed in artisan mining tunnels No. 6 (nearly N-S striking) and 7 (nearly E-W strike). This hole went through a series of veining and breccia zones, in both carbonaceous phyllite shale and mudstone) and quartz phyllite (sandstone and siltstone) and intersected several sulphide-bearing intervals.
				2) DJP-2-06
				DJP-2-06 was designed to intersect the western, deep extension of the mineralised vein exposed in Tunnel 7. This hole appears to intersect the same part of the stratigraphy as in DJP-1-06, i.e. a sandy unit (quartz phyllite) between an upper and a lower muddy unit (carbonaceous phyllite). Drilling revealed veining and brecciation at various areas along the hole with the most intense concentration found in quartz phyllite situated near the middle part of the hole. The drilling appears to have intersected the deep extension of the mineralized quartz-carbonate veins exposed in Tunnel 1. Several zones with well developed structure and veining were intersected.
				3) DJP-3-06
				This hole was drilled to test the extension along dip of those few mineralized veins and structures exposed on road-cut containing gold up to 2.7g/t. In addition, this hole cuts through a part of carbonaceous phyllite overlying that intersected in the first two holes. DJP-3-06 revealed a series of veining and brecciation zones, all in carbonaceous phyllite. This hole looks promising in terms of development of structure, veining and sulphide content. Several intervals with good structure and veining have been intersected.
Figure 5: DJP-3-06 - veined and brecciated carbonaceous phyllite at 244 to 253m.
4) DJP-4-06
				DJP-4-06 is targeting extensions of the mineralized veins exposed in road-cut channel sampling, which have values of up to 19g/t gold (Fig. 4). The current drill hole DJP-4-06 is at 198.5 meters within sericite-quartz phyllite containing locally abundant sulphides.
				As expected, this hole starts from the muddy unit (carbonaceous phyllite) and soon gets into the sandy unit (quartz phyllite). Structures with quartz and/or quartz-carbonate veining are encountered frequently, and they appear to cluster into three major zones near 7-14m, 41-69m and 130-164m. It appears that some of the high gold values assayed for samples from road-cut probably represent the structures and veins intersected in the two lower zones. The first upper zone was not exposed and therefore not sampled on road-cut.
				Photographs of some of the altered and mineralised core appear in Figure 5.
Figure 6: Plan of DJP-4-06 design
Figure7: DJP-4-06 core photos of intensely brecciated and veined quartz
						phyllite (upper) and sulphide-bearing quartz phyllite
				This observed alteration and mineralization in holes DJP-3-06 and DJP-4-06 is typical of the rocks comprising gold ore at Southwestern’s Boka project, located south of Huidong along the same geologic trend. However, Magnus’ management cautions investors that while these initial visual results are encouraging, the Company must receive gold assay results from the analytical laboratory to determine the gold content, and a specific inference regarding the gold content of drill cores cannot be made at this time.
				Planning for the next holes in Dingjiaping is proceeding well with access now ready for drilling targets DJP-6, 7 & 9. Core sampling is now up-to-date with the drilling program, and drill core is being sent to the SGS laboratory on an ongoing basis. Currently, the SGS lab in Tianjin is processing an unusually large volume of material for gold assay causing a longer turnaround time of results for all of its clients. Management believes the program will lead to improved understanding of the mineralized systems already observed at Huidong, and could lead to a discovery in this very favorable exploration terrain.
Huidong East
At Huidong East, geophysical features within the surface soil gold anomalies have been identified which are consistent with interpreted fault zones through graphitic conductive zones or carbonaceous sediments.
				Strong localized IP chargeability in fault zones at the LaoShuiJing area within Huidong East may be the combined response from clay alteration, sheared graphite and sulphide (+Au) mineralization, and these features will be tested by drilling. Drill targets (shown below) have been selected to test different types of conceptual models. Results of drilling will be used to refine the models to provide the best guide to locating gold mineralization in this area.
Figure 8: Drill targets at Laoshijing - Huidong East shown on color image of soil gold geochemistry.
						Targeted geophysics features are explained in the diagram.
Figure 9: Drill targets at Laoshijing - Huidong East shown on color image of soil gold geochemistry,
						with elevation contour lines at 100m intervals. Each square represents one square kilometer.
Drilling at the Huidong East Target commenced in late June and is being completed by two Chinese built XY-2 drill rigs. Hole targeting is based on integrated geophysical and structural (from surface mapping) targets within a coherent and significant soil geochemical anomaly. Holes LSJ-6-06 and LSJ-11-06 are being drilled and are at depths of 120.98 and 81.3 meters respectively as of September 21, 2006.
				There is a large surface anomaly feature to drill test at Huidong East, and we are still in the very early stages of drill testing the targets at Huidong East. What the Magnus team learns from drill intercepts of geophysical features and geologic targets in this early stage of drilling will guide the exploration and drilling program.

						Huidong East with surface gold geochemistry along mapped northwesterly fault structure
Huidong South
At the Laowangshan area within the Huidong South target, reconnaissance geophysics has identified targets which coincide spatially with previously known zones of elevated gold and copper concentrations in soil. Drill testing of geophysical anomaly features is planned to test depth extent of the surface mineralization (shown below). Geophysical characteristics of each target to be tested are explained in the figure, and each target resides within a well-expressed surface feature of anomalous gold in soils.

Mangshi Joint Venture Property
Property Location and Geology
The Company’s Mangshi Property is located in the Luxi Gold Belt, a 40km northeasterly geological trend, in the southwestern part of Yunnan Province, Peoples Republic of China. The exploration license held by Magnus and Team 209’s joint venture company, Yunnan Western Mining Ltd., is for 113.96 square kilometers located approximately 25km southwest of Luxi City. Sparton Resources Inc (TSX-V:SRI) is currently advancing a successful discovery along the same Luxi gold trend adjacent to Magnus’ Mangshi property. Depending on the cut-off grade used, Sparton’s staff has reported a minimum possible mineral deposit of between 210,000 and 320,000 oz gold at its Luxi property. This resource estimate is based on results reported up to mid-September 2005 from their first 34 drill holes.
				Luxi City is a regional center of approximately 300,000 people and accessible by road and air transportation from several major destinations in China. The property itself also allows for easy access, with a major highway providing access to the exploration license area as close as 6 km away, and the surrounding terrain allows for easy over-ground access from the highway year round.
				The Mangshi Property is chiefly underlain by a Permian dolomitic limestone and Triassic to Jurassic sedimentary units juxtaposed by northeasterly and generally west-dipping normal and reverse faults. There appear to be two styles of gold mineralization at the Mangshi Property. The gold at the two existing heap leach operations occur as fine particles in silicified and clay-altered clasts in a breccia-like flat-lying unit at the contact of Permian dolomitic limestone and Jurassic sandstone. The thickness of the breccia unit ranges up to 30 meters. The other style of mineralization comprises pyrite and gold in dominantly silicified and clay-altered fine grained Jurassic sandstone. This latter style of gold mineralization is deemed more significant as it bears resemblance to similar sedimentary rock-hosted gold deposits in neighboring Gizhou Province, which are considered of the Carlin type gold deposition model.
Exploration History
There is an abundance of geological information already available about the property, and a report on the property pursuant to Canadian National Instrument 43-101, dated October 27, 2003, has already been published. The report was prepared by Ruben S. Verzosa, P. Eng., and an updated version is available on the Company’s website located at www.magnusresources.com. Mr. Verzosa is a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 in Canada and is a member of the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of British Columbia. Mr. Verzosa has been hired by the Company to assist with the immediate exploration of the Mangshi Property.
Exploration Progress and Future Plans for the Mangshi Property
An environmental baseline study was completed in 2005 to establish the environmental status upon commencement of exploration activity at Mangshi. The exploration plan for the Mangshi Property comprises three scales of exploration:
Local scale exploration: focusing on the Maiwoba - Guoyuan - Mulingba Au shear zone
Intermediate scale: follow-up trenching at the Qingtang River target
District scale Au targets: follow-up of stream drainage anomalies within the Mengdan exploration license 			
Local scale exploration is designed to test the known Maiwoba - Guoyuan - Mulingba Au trend defined by Au-mineralized rock and greater than 100 ppb Au in soil. The Au trend is covered by the 113.96 km 2 exploration license (covered by the Mangshi Joint Venture) and the mining permits within the Mangshi Property (recently acquired by Yunnan Western Mining Ltd. by Transfer Agreement, see “Description of Business - Joint Venture Agreements - Yunnan Western Mining Ltd.”, above) at Maiwoba and Guoyuan.
Figure 13: Mangshi Exploration Area
Testing along the Maiwoba - Guoyuan - Mulingba Au trend comprised additional detailed mapping and sampling of mineralized rock and identified breccia zones, as well as the pit floors from the small-scale oxide ore mining operations. A dipole-dipole Induced Polarization (IP) geophysical survey was executed by the Yunnan Institute of Geophysics and Geochemistryhas and completed 30 line kilometers of surveying. The IP survey identified zones of sulphides (pyrite) and zones of silicification along the depth extent of the northwest-dipping fault and shear zones believed to control Au mineralization in the area. Detailed drill target definition for the initial 5,000 meter diamond core drilling program was conducted based on the mapping, sampling, and geophysical surveying. The program is expected to test the depth extent of the Maiwoba - Guoyuan - Mulingba Au trend.
				Exploration drilling has been ongoing on the Mangshi Concession, and to date 25 drill holes have been completed and a total of 5,282 meters of HQ core have been drilled.
				A summary of the current drilling progress shows the progression of the drilling program.
			Analysis results for these holes all have been received, and results from gold-mineralized intersections are tabulated below.
				Drill hole locations are displayed in the figure below. The figure illustrates that only a relatively small portion of the mining license and mineralized trend at Mangshi has been drill tested.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the period ended July 31, 2006, and the related notes thereto.
Overview
Magnus is currently in the development stage and is engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of precious and base metals. To this end, the Company has entered, and plans to enter, various joint venture agreements with Chinese parties and entities (see “Description of Business - Letters of Intent and Preliminary Agreements” and “Description of Business - Joint Venture Agreements” above). Generally, these joint venture arrangements require the Company to contribute capital toward the exploration and development of various properties while requiring the Chinese individual or entity to obtain mineral rights for desirable mineral properties in China, and obtain all required permits and licenses to commence exploration and mining activities.
Outlook
Mineral prices rose steadily during our last fiscal year. At July 31, 2005, the price of gold was $429.50 per ounce compared to $635.30 at July 28, 2006, representing an increase of approximately 48%. Similarly, the value of copper and the value of silver both increased during the same period. Management believes that this trend will continue, and as a result the properties that are owned and controlled by the Company which contain mineralized material could gain in value. However, there is no assurance that gold prices will continue to rise.
				At April 30, 2006, we had interests in two properties that might contain mineralized material (see “Description of Business - Joint Venture Properties”, above), and one further interest than may materialize in the near future (see “Other Projects”, above).
				The Company does not currently generate operating cash flows. Subject to sustained mineral prices, management expects to generate revenues and cash flows in the future.
				The Company had working capital of $22,846 at July 31, 2006. Total cash requirements stipulated under the Company’s Joint Venture Agreements with Team 209 of China calls for a $5,000,000 equity investment into the joint venture company called Yunnan Long Teng Mining Ltd., and a $3,010,000 investment into the joint venture company called Yunnan Western Mining Ltd., by Magnus.
Under the Huidong (Long Teng) joint venture agreement, Magnus is required to contribute not less than $460,000 within three months after the issuance of the joint venture company business license; $1,000,000 within twenty four (24) months after the issuance of the joint venture company business license; $1,550,000 within thirty-six (36) months after the issuance of the joint venture company business license; and based on the results of the exploration by the joint venture company, if required, an additional $1,990,000 within forty-eight (48) months after the issuance of the joint venture company business license. As of November 3, 2006 the Company had contributed $2,965,000 to the joint venture company. . The business license for the joint venture company was approved and issued on July 29, 2004. Thus, the Company has 36 months from July 29 2004 to contribute an additional $45,000 to the joint venture as per the schedule above.
Under the Mangshi Joint Venture Agreement, Magnus was required to contribute to the joint venture company a total of $500,000 by December 31, 2005; an additional $1,000,000 by December 31, 2006; and an additional $1,510,000 by December 31, 2007. As of November 3, 2006, the Company had contributed $1,447,500 to Yunnan Western Mining Ltd.. thus leaving it due to contribute an additional $ 52,500 to the joint venture by December 31, 2006 as per the schedule above.
The Company will need to raise additional funds through private placements in order to meet its future investment requirements in the above joint ventures. While the Company has been successful in raising money by private placements in the past, there are no guarantees that the Company will be successful in the future. Management believes, however, that absent sufficient funding through a private placement or some other financing the Company will not generate sufficient revenue to cover any shortfall in the next year.
Results from Operations
Summary
The Company's consolidated net loss for the current fiscal year was $9,401,834 or $0.27 per share compared to the previous year’s consolidated net loss of $3,771,493 or $0.15 per share for a net increase of $5,630,341. The largest expense was related to the cost of exploration of the properties in China (see “Letters of Intent and Preliminary Agreements” and “Joint Venture Agreements”). The second largest expense was related to investor relations.
Mineral production and revenue
As we are still an exploration stage company and in the exploration stage of development on our two Chinese properties, we have not, as of yet, produced any revenues nor produced any minerals.
Exploration, property evaluation and holding costs
We are committed to contribute at least $3,010,000 to the Long Teng Mining joint venture company within 36 months of July 29, 2004, of which 2,680,000 was contributed by July 31, 2006. In addition, the Company is committed to contribute a total of at least $1,500,000 to the Mangshi Joint Venture by December 31, 2006 which $1,400,000 was contributed by July 31, 2006 This contribution is used for the ongoing geological testing described above under “Exploration Progress and Future Plans for Mangshi Property.” At this preliminary stage, it is difficult to estimate whether the exploration costs will exceed the Company’s total capital commitments required under the joint venture agreements.
Corporate administration and investor relations
Corporate administrative and investor relations costs were $2,808,692 in the current fiscal year compared to $462,387 in the previous year, representing an increase of $2,346,305. Included in these costs are the costs of an investor relations program started in the year, and business development costs in association with new joint ventures in China. Also included are travel expenses for executives and geologists to China, travel to various conferences, and other miscellaneous office expenses.
Financial Position, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash used in Operations
Cash used in operations was $8,216,610 in the current fiscal year compared to cash uses of $2,794,681 in the previous year.
The increase of $5,421,929 can be attributed to the exploration and administrative increases noted above, the addition of the Mangshi Joint Venture, an employee and several consultants, and other costs (legal, accounting, etc.) associated with increased business activity.
Financing Activities
The Company received cash from financing activities of $7,105,030 in the current fiscal year compared to $4,155,805 in the previous year.
As of September 30, 2006, the Company has received payment for subscriptions to purchase 350,000 units (each a “Unit”) of the Company at a price of $1.00 per Unit for total proceeds of $350,000. Each Unit consists of one share of common stock of the Company and one-half of one share purchase warrant (each a “Warrant”). Each whole Warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one
				additional share of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $2.00 per share with an expiry date of two years from the date of issuance of the Warrants.
Financing activities for the year are described fully above under “Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities”.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At July 31, 2006, the Company's total assets were $1,251,451 as compared to $2,233,599 the previous year. Long-term liabilities as of July 31, 2006 totaled $0 as compared to $0 in the previous year. The Company had working capital of $22,846 at July 31, 2006. The Company has received payment for additional subscriptions to purchase 107,143 units of the Company (see above under “Financing Activities”), and intends to do additional financings in the future.
Major cash commitments in the next fiscal year are related to proposed exploration activities, corporate administration, investor relations and operations (including financial commitments to the Chinese joint venture companies, as described above).
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis which assumes that the Company will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.
The Company has experienced total losses amounting to $14,910,654 as of July 31, 2006. As of July 31, 2006, the Company had a total of $414,695 in cash and cash equivalents; however this amount is insufficient to sustain operations over the course of the next twelve months. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to meet its commitments as they become payable, including the completion of acquisitions, exploration and development of mineral properties and projects, is dependent on the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing or achieving a profitable level of operations. There are no assurances that the Company will be successful in achieving these goals.
The Company is in the process of exploring and evaluating its mineral properties and projects and has not yet determined whether these properties contain economically recoverable ore reserves. The underlying value of the mineral properties is entirely dependent on the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete development and upon future profitable production or sufficient proceeds from the disposition thereof.
The financial statements do not give effect to adjustments to the amounts and classifications to assets and liabilities that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Transactions with Related Parties / Subsequent Events
On October 5, 2006 Magnus announced that it had entered into a letter of intent to acquire African Mineral Fields Inc., a British Virgin Islands company which holds an exclusive option to acquire 100% interests in four gold projects in Uganda. Graham Taylor, President, CEO and a director of Magnus, is the founder, sole director and majority shareholder of African Mineral Fields Inc. The acquisition comes as part of Magnus’ decision to expand its mineral portfolio into Africa.
				Subject to definitive agreement, the Company intends to issue a total of six million common shares and two hundred thousand Series “B” preferred shares to acquire 100% of African Mineral Fields, Inc., which is majority owned by Graham Taylor, President, CEO and director of the Company. The two hundred thousand Series “B” preferred shares will convert to up to two million common shares subject to the properties of African Mineral Fields Inc. developing a minimum of 250,000 resource category gold ounces and based upon one common share for each gold ounce in the inferred, resource and proven categories.
ITEM 7A.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITIATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position, results of operations or cash flows due to adverse change in foreign currency and interest rates.
Exchange Rate
Our reporting currency is United States Dollars (“USD”). The Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”) has been informally pegged to the USD. However, China is under international pressure to adopt a more flexible exchange rate system. If the RMB were no longer pegged to the USD, rate fluctuations may have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial reporting and make realistic revenue projections difficult. Recently (July 2005) the Renminbi was allowed to rise 2%. This has not had an appreciable effect on our operations and seems unlikely to do so.
As Renminbi is used for expenditures by Magnus and its subsidiaries in conducting their operations in China, the fluctuation of exchange rates of Renminbi may have positive or negative impacts on the results of operations of the Company.
Interest Rate
Interest rates in China are low and stable and inflation is well controlled, due to the habit of the population to deposit and save money in the banks (among with other reasons, such as the PRC’s perennial balance of trade surplus). Our loans, if any, relate mainly to trade payables and are mainly short-term. However our debt is likely to rise with physical plant in connection with expansion and, were interest rates to rise at the same time, this could become a significant impact on our operating and financing activities.
				We have not entered into derivative contracts either to hedge existing risks or for speculative purposes.

(a development stage company) as of July 31, 2006, the related consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity (deficit), operations and cash flows for the year ended July 31, 2006 and for the period from August 1, 2002 (re-entered into developing stage on June 2, 2003 described in Note 2) to July 31, 2006. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. The consolidated financial statements as of July 31, 2005 and for the cumulative period from August 1, 2002 to July 31, 2005 were audited by other auditors whose reports dated October 31, 2003, October 15, 2004 and November 15, 2005 expressed unqualified opinions on those statements. The financial statements for the period from August 1, 2002 to July 31, 2005 include total revenues and net loss of $nil and $5,585,963 since inception ($77,143 before re-entering into developing stage and $5,508,820 after re-entering into developing stage), respectively. Our opinion on the statements of stockholders’ equity (deficit), operations and cash flows for the period August 1, 2002 (re-entered into developing stage on June 2, 2003) to July 31, 2006, insofar as it relates to amounts for prior periods through July 31, 2005 is based solely on the reports of other auditors.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits and the reports of the other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
			In our opinion, based on our audit and the reports of other auditors, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of July 31, 2006, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended July 31, 2006, and for the cumulative period from August 1, 2002 (re-entered into developing stage on June 2, 2003) to July 31, 2006 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
			The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1, the Company has recurring losses from operations since inception and has a working capital deficiency that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
					Organization and Description of Business
The Company was incorporated as Gravity Spin Holdings, Inc. in the State of Nevada on April 4, 2001. On June 30, 2001, the Company acquired all the outstanding stock of Gravity Spin, Inc. (“Gravity Spin”, formerly E-Fusion ATP Inc.), a company incorporated on March 3, 2000 in Canada, by issuing 10,000,000 shares of its common stock. Gravity Spin engaged in advertising, sales promotion, graphic design, branding, new media, and design services principally in Canada. The two companies were under common control. Prior to the acquisition, the Company had only nominal assets and liabilities. The transaction was treated as a reverse acquisition for accounting purposes, which is a capital transaction and not a business combination. The Company sold its subsidiary, Gravity Spin, Inc., on June 2, 2003.
				Subsequent to the sale of its operating subsidiary on June 2, 2003, the Company entered an exploration stage in pursuit of new business opportunities (Note 5). As an exploration stage company, the Company presents its financial statements in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States that apply in establishing operating enterprises. The Company discloses the deficit accumulated during the exploration stage and the cumulative statements of operations and cash flows from the inception of the exploration stage through July 31, 2006.
				The Company formed a subsidiary called Gravity Spin Event Marketing, Inc., in May 2003. The Company formed two new subsidiaries called Magnus International Resources Inc. (“Magnus BVI”) and Magnus Resources (HK) Limited (“Magnus HK”) in April 2004 and December 29, 2003, respectively. Gravity Marketing, Magnus BVI and Magnus HK have no transactions as of July 31, 2006.
				Effective May 4, 2004 the Company changed its name to Magnus International Resources Inc. The Company has an office in Vancouver, Canada.
				On September 29, 2004 the joint venture agreement entered into by the Company on July 6, 2004 was approved by the Chinese government. With the approval, a new joint venture company, Yunnan Long Teng Mining Ltd., (“Long Teng”) was formed. The company owns 90% of the issued shares of Long Teng as at July 31, 2006. The activities of Long Teng are governed by the joint venture agreement.
				The Company owns 100% of Golden River Resources Corp. (“Golden River”). Golden River is participating in a co-operative joint venture in China. Under the joint venture, Golden River acquires a 90% interest in the sino-foreign joint venture company Yunnan Western Mining Ltd. (“Western Mining”) by making capital contributions on the schedule required by the joint venture agreement. Golden River has recognized its interest in Western Mining as 90%.

						Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

						(Expressed in US Dollars)
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Golden River, Gravity Marketing, Magnus BVI and Magnus HK and its 90%-owned subsidiaries, Long Teng and (indirectly) Western Mining. All significant inter-company balances and transactions are eliminated. Minority interest represents the other venturer’s interests in the net assets of the joint venture companies after deducting the minority interest share of net losses of the ventures.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents comprise certain highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased. As at July 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company did not have any cash equivalents.
Mineral Properties and Exploration Expenses
Mineral property acquisition, exploration and development costs are charged to operations as incurred until such time that proven or probable ore reserves are discovered. From that time forward, the Company will capitalize all costs to the extent that future cash flow from reserves equals or exceeds the costs deferred. The deferred costs will be amortized using the unit-of-production method when a property reaches commercial production. As at July 31, 2006, the Company did not have proven or probable reserves.
Asset Retirement Obligations
The Company has adopted SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset 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 a liability to be recorded for the present value of the estimated site restoration costs with corresponding increase to the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. 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.
The Company has recorded the estimated site restoration costs attributable to the work completed on the mineral properties in China to July 31, 2006. In the future, the Company may have additional asset retirement obligations in respect of the mineral properties in China. Under Chinese law, companies with exploration licences may be required to incur expenses to reclaim the properties or to pay for disruption to properties. The obligations and amounts with respect to a given property are subject to negotiation with the government at the time the work on a property is completed.

					Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are carried at cost less a provision for depreciation on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives as follows:
Computer equipment
							3 to 5 years
Computer software
							3 years
Field equipment
							5 years
Leasehold improvements
							2 years
Office furniture and equipment
							5 years
Vehicles
							10 years
Advertising Expenses
Advertising expenses are expensed as incurred.
Foreign Currency
The parent company’s operation of the Company is located in Canada. It maintains both U.S. Dollar and Canadian Dollar bank accounts. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency, which is U.S. Dollars, at the rate in effect at the time of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in the foreign currencies are presented in the balance sheet at the rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations are included in the results of operations.
			The subsidiaries’ operations of the Company are located in China, and they maintain their accounting records in Chinese Renminbi Yuan. The monetary assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries are translated into U.S. Dollars at the rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate. The resulting foreign exchange gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations are included in the results of operations.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of United States of America 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. Management makes its best estimate of the ultimate outcome for these items based on historical trends and other information available when the financial statements are prepared. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Loss Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share of common stock is computed by dividing the net earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted
MAGNUS INTERNATIONAL RESOURCES INC.
(An Exploration Stage Company)
					Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
					July 31, 2006
					(Expressed in US Dollars)
earnings (loss) per share is equal to the basic loss per share for the year ended July 31, 2006 and 2005 because common stock equivalents consisting of options to acquire 4,935,000 (2005 - 4,330,000) shares of common stock and warrants to acquire 1,524,874 (2005 - 7,256,818) shares of common stock that are outstanding at July 31, 2006 and 2005 are anti-dilutive, however, they may be dilutive in future.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying value of cash, advances receivable, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities at July 31, 2006 and 2005, reflected in these financial statements, approximates their fair value due to the short-term maturity of the instruments.
Comprehensive Income
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income”. Comprehensive income includes net income and all changes in equity during a period that arises from non-owner sources, such as foreign currency items and unrealized gains and losses on certain investments in equity securities.
Income taxes
The Company records deferred taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." The statement requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and the amounts at which they are carried in the financial statements, based upon the enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
Concentrations
The Company uses one supplier, Geology Brigade 209 of the Nuclear Industry of Yunnan Province of China (“Team 209”), which is also the joint venture partner, to supply the licenses and exploration permits and approximately 75% of the manpower and technical expertise for the minerals exploration at the Company’s two joint ventures in China.
			The Company holds cash in bank accounts that are not insured against financial institution failure due to holding US currency in Canada and holding US and Chinese currency in China.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company periodically analyzes its long-lived assets for potential impairment, assessing the appropriateness of lives and recoverability of unamortized balances through measurement of undiscounted operation cash flows in accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets. If impairment is deemed to exist, the asset will be
MAGNUS INTERNATIONAL RESOURCES INC.
(An Exploration Stage Company)
					Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
					July 31, 2006
					(Expressed in US Dollars)
written down to its fair value. Fair value is generally determined using a discounted cash flow analysis. As at July 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company does not believe any adjustment for impairment is required.
Finders’ fees
Finders’ fees paid to consultants for referring investors are capitalized and are offset against the proceeds of the offering if successful and are expensed and charged to operations if the offering is not successful.
Stock-Based Compensation
			As of July 31, 2006, the Company has implemented the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share- Based Payment (“SFAS No. 123R”), which replaced Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (“SFAS No. 123”) as amended by No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure. Compensation expense is recorded in accordance with the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123R beginning in 2006 for options issued to employees. Prior to 2006, the Company accounted for stock options granted to its employees and directors using the intrinsic value method of accounting, as prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and related interpretations. Under the intrinsic value method, no compensation expense is recorded if the exercise price of the options is equal to or greater than the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant. As the exercise price of the Company’s employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of the grant, no compensation expense was recognized under APB25 for 2005 and prior.
			Options issued to non-employees are recorded in accordance with the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123R, which are the same as the provisions previously followed under SFAS No. 123..
The Company has a stock-based compensation plan that is described more fully in Note 9.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions”. SFAS No. 153 requires exchanges of productive assets to be accounted for at fair value, rather than at carryover basis, unless (1) neither the asset received nor the asset surrendered has a fair value that is determinable within reasonable limits or (2) the transactions lack commercial substance. SFAS 153 is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of FASB No. 153 does not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
MAGNUS INTERNATIONAL RESOURCES INC.
(An Exploration Stage Company)
					Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
					July 31, 2006
					(Expressed in US Dollars)
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections”. SFAS No. 154 replaces APB Opinion No. 20 “Accounting Changes” and SFAS No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements”. SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. The adoption of SFAS No. 154 does not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
There were various other accounting standards and interpretations issued during 2006, none of which are expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position, operations or cash flows.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION - GOING CONCERN
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis which assumes that the Company will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.
The Company has experienced losses since the inception of the exploration stage amounting to $14,910,654 as of July 31, 2006. As of July 31, 2006, the Company had a total of $414,695 in cash and cash equivalents, however this amount is insufficient to sustain operations over the course of the next year. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to meet its commitments as they become payable, including the completion of acquisitions, exploration and development of mineral properties and projects, is dependent on the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing or achieving a profitable level of operations. There are no assurances that the Company will be successful in achieving these goals.
The Company is in the process of exploring and evaluating its mineral properties and projects and has not yet determined whether these properties contain economically recoverable ore reserves. The underlying value of the mineral properties is entirely dependent on the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete development and upon future profitable production or sufficient proceeds from the disposition thereof.
These financial statements do not give effect to adjustments to the amounts and classifications to assets and liabilities that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
3. DEPOSIT RECEIVABLE
The deposit receivable is in respect of an option to purchase a 30% interest in a rutile titanium property in central China. Under the Term Sheet Agreement, $500,000 was paid by the Company to the property owner on agreement execution, refundable in the event Magnus determines not to proceed. The Company had a 90 day due diligence period from the date of execution of the
MAGNUS INTERNATIONAL RESOURCES INC.
(An Exploration Stage Company)
					Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
					July 31, 2006
					(Expressed in US Dollars)
Agreement allowing the Company not to proceed if the property was deemed by the Company’s geology staff not to be economically viable. The Company has determined the property is not economically viable, and gave notice within the 90 day period that the Company would not proceed. The property owner has given verbal assurances of intention to refund the deposit but has delayed repayment for several months. As of October 10, 2006, the Company has received $250,000 of the deposit refund. The Company has provided an allowance of $250,000 in case the deposit refund is not received in full.

5. MINERAL PROPERTIES AND JOINT VENTURES
To July 31, 2006, the Company had entered into the following material agreements with respect to mineral properties and exploration licenses in China.
Yunnan Long Teng Mining Ltd.
On July 6, 2004, the Company entered into a formal Cooperative Joint Venture Contract (“JV Agreement”) with Geology Brigade 209 of the Nuclear Industry of Yunnan Province of China ("Team 209") to form a new joint venture company called Yunnan Long Teng Mining Ltd. (“Long Teng”), a Chinese corporation. Long Teng will carry out mineral exploration and development in Luquan county, Yunnan province and Huidong county, Sichuan province, China. Under the terms of the JV Agreement, the Company will contribute $5,000,000 as an equity investment into Long Teng over the next four (4) years and Team 209 will transfer certain gold and copper exploration licenses to Long Teng in return for US$678,513 (RMB5,500,000) and a 10% interest in Long Teng. Upon initial capital contributions by the Company and the transfer of
MAGNUS INTERNATIONAL RESOURCES INC.
(An Exploration Stage Company)
					Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
					July 31, 2006
					(Expressed in US Dollars)
the exploration licenses by Team 209, the Company will own a 90% interest in Long Teng. Subject to certain conditions precedent being satisfied, the Company is required to contribute $5,000,000 as follows:
not less than $460,000 within three months after the issuance of the business license;
$1,000,000 within twenty-four months after the issuance of the business license;
$1,550,000 within thirty-six months after the issuance of the business license; and
an additional $1,990,000 within forty-eight months after the issuance of the business license, if required, based on the results of the exploration by Long Teng. 		
If further funding is required for carrying out more exploration and development activities, the Company will be responsible for providing such funding. Team 209 will remain a 10% owner of Long Teng.
The Company was required to provide Team 209 with the equivalent of $750,000 in shares of its common stock within 15 days after the issuance of the business license of Long Teng, the joint venture company, and the completion of transfer of exploration licenses for the two joint venture properties ($250,000 in shares for successful transfer of the Luquan property license and $500,000 in shares for the successful transfer of the Huidong license, respectively). On September 29, 2004, the JV Agreement was approved by the Chinese Government and a business license for Long Teng Mining Ltd. was issued. The exploration license for one of the two properties covered by the Joint Venture Agreement (Huidong) was successfully transferred into the Joint Venture Company, Long Teng, on July 27, 2005. In connection with this successful transfer, Magnus issued Team 209 $500,000 in common shares. The parties agreed to value the common stock at $1.75 at the time the exploration license had been successfully transferred. Thus, 285,714 shares were issued to Team 209 on August 26, 2005.
In July and August of 2005, the Board of Directors gathered all available geological information surrounding the Luquan property, and upon consultation with senior Company geologists, it was determined that the Company’s resources would be better expended on the exploration of the Company’s two core projects and in seeking out other prospective properties. After consultation with Team 209, it was agreed that Team 209 would not transfer the Luquan exploration license to Long Teng Mining, and that the Luquan property would not be explored by Long Teng Mining.
			The Company agreed to pay a finder’s fee of 200,000 shares of its common stock valued at $190,000 and $200,000 cash to a corporation. The finder’s fee, totaling $390,000, was expensed in 2004. The 200,000 shares were issued on December 15, 2005.
Yunnan Western Mining, Ltd.
On July 26, 2005, Magnus and First Fortune Investments Inc. entered into a Letter Agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) whereby Magnus agreed to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Golden River Resources Corp., a private British Columbia company (“Golden River”), which was
MAGNUS INTERNATIONAL RESOURCES INC.
(An Exploration Stage Company)
					Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
					July 31, 2006
					(Expressed in US Dollars)
owned by First Fortune Investments Inc. (“First Fortune”), and which was participating in a co-operative joint venture with Team 209 pursuant to an agreement dated August 29, 2003 (the “Mangshi Joint Venture”), between Golden River and Team 209. The acquisition of Golden River was completed on November 25, 2005.
			Under the Mangshi Joint Venture, Golden River and Team 209 formed a Sino-foreign joint venture company, Yunnan Western Mining Ltd. (“Western Mining”). The Mangshi Joint Venture gives Golden River a 90% interest in Western Mining, which holds a mineral exploration license comprising approximately 114 square kilometers. The license is located in the Luxi Gold Belt in the western part of Yunnan Province, People’s Republic of China, and the property is known as the Mangshi Property (“Mangshi”).
Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, Magnus acquired 100% of the shares of Golden River for a total consideration of up to $400,000. $300,000 of the consideration was payable to First Fortune and up to $100,000 is payable directly to Team 209 on behalf of First Fortune towards Golden River’s outstanding debt owing to Team 209 with respect to operating costs of Western Mining to date. The Company has paid the $300,000 to First Fortune.
Upon closing the Letter Agreement on November 25, 2005, the Company assumed all of Golden River’s obligations and benefits under the terms of the Mangshi Joint Venture. The terms of the Mangshi Joint Venture require Golden River to expend, through its Sino-foreign joint venture company, Yunnan Western Mining Ltd., a total of $3,010,000 on the area covered by the exploration license over a period of roughly four years. The amended Mangshi Joint Venture capital contribution schedule, which was approved by the Yunnan Provincial government, requires the following capital contributions by the following dates: $500,000 by December 31, 2005; an additional $1,000,000 by December 31, 2006, and; an additional $1,510,000 by December 31, 2007. Increments of 30% interest in Western Mining shall be earned for every aggregate of $1,000,000 contributed by the Company. Team 209 will retain a carried interest of 10% in Western Mining upon the completion of the contributions by the Company of the aggregate total of $3,010,000. Further contributions by the Company beyond $3,010,000 will not dilute the 10% carried interest of Team 209. (Note 10). As at July 31, 2006, Golden River has directly contributed $1,400,000 in capital to Yunnan Western Mining Ltd.
Within the Mangshi exploration area are two smaller mining permits where Team 209 is conducting small scale heap leach mining operations. On October 29, 2005, the Company (through Western Mining) agreed to purchase these mining permits from Team 209 (from a division of Team 209 known as 209 Geo-brigade of Yunnan Provincial Nuclear Industry, Mangshi Gold Mine) in exchange for 150,000 shares of common stock of the Company. The shares have not yet been issued as of July 31, 2006. The Company has recognized the allotment of the shares at a value of $1.70 per share, being the trading price of the company’s stock on October 29, 2005.

for approximately 3 square kilometers in Sichuan Province known as the Xintaizi mining area (“Xintaizi”). Magnus and Team 209 had planned to form a new joint venture company and apply for all necessary approvals from the Chinese government to begin development of the Xintaizi project.
			Under the agreement to purchase Kangding Kangma, the Company was to pay, on behalf of Long Teng, RMB 2,100,000 (approximately $253,725 US dollars) to Kangding Kangma’s owners (the “Vendors”). RMB 1,150,000 (about US$139,026) has been paid to the Vendors as of July 31, 2005, with the remaining RMB 950,000 due on the day the transfer of Kangding Kangma’s equity is successfully registered in the name of Magnus and Team 209 (in proportions of 90% and 10% respectively) and such transfer is effected and approved under Chinese law. As of October 30, 2005, the equity in Kangding Kangma had been successfully transferred to the Deputy General Manager of Long Teng, acting as agent to Magnus. However, the subsequent transfer of Kangding Kangma to Magnus and Team 209 was significantly delayed.
			Initial exploration work conducted by the Company indicated ore grades in the Xintaizi area were insufficient to justify further exploration. Team 209 formally agreed, in an agreement signed October 30, 2005, to assume ongoing ownership and liability for Kangding Kangma and the Xintaizi Mining License, and to compensate Magnus for the delays in the transfer of the equity. Under the Agreement on Compensation for the Failed Transfer of Mining Rights for the Xintaizi Gold Mine in Kangding, Magnus, through Long Teng Mining, will receive 1,500,000 RMB within 20 days of execution of the Compensation Agreement. From the date of execution of the Compensation Agreement, Team 209 has assumed all ownership and liability for Kangding Kangma and the Company has no further involvement in Kangding Kangma. As of July 31, 2006 the compensation has not been paid, but has been recovered by way of offset against amounts owing by Yunnan Long Teng Mining Ltd. to Team 209.
6. ENVIRONMENTAL RESTORATION COSTS
The Company’s exploration work results in damage to forests and disruption of lands and water supplies for which the Company will be required to provide compensation or remediation. The Company has provided for all known and estimable liabilities for costs of remediation or compensation based on the work carried out to July 31, 2006. The Company has recognized $82,418 in such costs to July 31, 2006. Accrued liabilities includes $62,750 for remediation and compensation liabilities, which is management’s estimate of the liabilities existing as at July 31, 2006.
7. LEASES
The Company has the following commitments for leased office premises:
			Vancouver, Canada - $7,517 per month for 22 months from July 31, 2006
			Kunming, China - $690 per month for 8 months from July 31, 2006
			Las Vegas, Nevada - $ 167 per month for 9 months from July 31, 2006

If not previously exercised or canceled, options outstanding at July 31, 2006 will expire as follows:
		The fair values of the options granted in the year ended July 31, 2006 were estimated at values ranging from $0.18 per share to $1.08 per share. The fair values of the options granted in the years 2005 and 2004 were estimated at $1.05 per share and $0.47 per share, respectively, using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model with the following weighted average assumptions:
Volatility:

Expected lives (years):
		Option-pricing models require the use of highly subjective estimates and assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Changes in the underlying assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimates and therefore, in management’s opinion, existing models do not necessarily provide reliable measure of the fair value of the Company’s stock options.
		The following table illustrates the effect on net earnings (loss) and earnings (loss) per share for the 2006 year as reported due to implementation of SFAS 123R and for the 2005 year on a proforma basis if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provision of SFAS 123R:

On December 16, 2005 the Company dismissed Ernst & Young LLP as the principal independent accountant of the Company. The Board of Directors of the Company authorized the dismissal of Ernst & Young LLP on December 16, 2005.
		During the Company's preceding fiscal year, there were no disagreements with Ernst & Young LLP which were not resolved on any matter concerning accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Ernst & Young LLP would have caused Ernst & Young LLP to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports. Ernst & Young LLP as the Company’s principal independent accountant, did not provide an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion to the Company’s financial statements, nor modify its opinion as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. The audit opinion of Ernst & Young LLP was modified to contain a going concern qualification for the Company's fiscal year ended July 31, 2005.

ITEM 9A.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, an evaluation was performed by our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
		In June 2005, the Magnus Board of Directors implemented the following financial controls on Long Teng Mining, its operating subsidiary in China:
The acting Manager for Long Teng Mining, Mr. Anthony Tam, was to be the only member of the Long Teng Board to have signing authority (or the Chinese equivalent) over Long Teng accounts;
Either the General Manager or Deputy General Manager can approve expenditures under US$150;
Both the General Manager and Deputy General Manager need to approve expenditures from US$151 to US$1000;and 		
The General Manager and either the Chairman of Long Teng Mining (Graham Taylor) or the other Magnus director (formerly Peter Smith, now Steven Tan) and the Deputy General Manager or the Deputy Chairman need to approve any expenditures above US$1000. 		
There have been no other significant changes in the Company’s internal controls over the financial reporting that occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
			The Company intends to add the following additional elements to its financial controls and procedures in the near future:
to form an audit committee, which is expected to contain a majority of disinterested directors;
to appoint a financial expert who will also be appointed as a director of the Company and the Company’s audit committee; and
to adopt a code of ethics.

Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans
On January 9, 2004, the Board of Directors of the Company unanimously approved and adopted a stock option plan (the “Stock Option Plan”). The purpose of the Stock Option Plan is to advance the interests of the Company and its shareholders by affording key personnel of the Company an opportunity for investment in the Company and the incentive advantages inherent in stock ownership in the Company. Pursuant to the provisions of the Stock Option Plan, stock options (the “Stock Options”) will be granted only to key personnel of the Company, generally defined as a person designated by the Board of Directors upon whose judgment, initiative and efforts the Company may rely including any director, officer, employee or consultant of the Company. 		
The Stock Option Plan is to be administered by the Board of Directors of the Company, which shall determine (i) the persons to be granted Stock Options under the Stock Option Plan; (ii) the number of shares subject to each option; (iii) the exercise price of each Stock Option; and (iv) whether the Stock Option shall be exercisable at any time during the option period of ten (10) years or whether the Stock Option shall be exercisable in installments or by vesting only. The Stock Option Plan provides authorization to the Board of Directors to grant Stock Options to purchase a total number of shares of common stock of the Company, not to exceed thirty percent (30%) of the total issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company as at the date of adoption by the Board of Directors of the Stock Option Plan. At the time the Stock Option is granted under the Stock Option Plan, the Board of Directors
			shall fix and determine the exercise price at which shares of common stock of the Company may be acquired; provided, however, that any such exercise price shall not be less than that permitted under the rules and policies of any stock exchange or over-the-counter market which is applicable to the Company.
			In the event an optionee who is a director or officer of the Company ceases to serve in that position, any Stock Option held by such optionee generally may be exercisable within up to ninety (90) days after the effective date that his position ceases, and after such ninety-day period any unexercised Stock Option shall expire. In the event an optionee who is an employee or consultant of the Company ceases to be employed by the Company, any Stock Option held by such optionee generally may be exercisable within up to ninety (90) days (or up to thirty (30) days where the optionee provided only investor relations services to the Company) after the effective date that his employment ceases, and after such ninety or thirty-day period any unexercised Stock Option shall expire.
No Stock Options granted under the Stock Option Plan will be transferable by the optionee, and each Stock Option will be exercisable during the lifetime of the optionee subject to the option period of ten (10) years or limitations described above. Any Stock Option held by an optionee at the time of his death may be exercised by his estate within one (1) year of his death or such longer period as the Board of Directors may determine.
The exercise price of a Stock Option granted pursuant to the Stock Option Plan shall be paid in cash or certified funds upon exercise of the option.
Incentive Stock Options
The Stock Option Plan further provides that, subject to the provisions of the Stock Option Plan, the Board of Directors may grant to any key personnel of the Company who is an employee eligible to receive options one or more incentive stock options to purchase the number of shares of common stock allotted by the Board of Directors (the “Incentive Stock Options”). The option price per share of common stock deliverable upon the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option shall be no less than fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of grant of the Incentive Stock Option. In accordance with the terms of the Stock Option Plan, “fair market value” of the Incentive Stock Option as of any date shall not be less than the closing price for the shares of common stock on the last trading day preceding the date of grant. The option term of each Incentive Stock Option shall be determined by the Board of Directors, which shall not commence sooner than from the date of grant and shall terminate no later than ten (10) years from the date of grant of the Incentive Stock Option, subject to possible early termination as described above.
As of the date of this Annual Report, the Company has 5,925,444 Stock Options and/or Incentive Stock Options outstanding.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
On November 29, 2003, Magnus and Mr. Anthony Tam entered into a consulting agreement (the “Consulting Agreement”) with an effective date of November 1, 2003 and a termination date of February 28, 2004, whereby Mr. Tam provided to the Company consulting services designed to assist the Company as its chief representative in China with respect to negotiations on joint venture option agreements on properties of merit as well as initial geological assessment and engineering assessment of properties of merit to help develop the business of the Company. As consideration for Mr. Tam’s services, the Company issued 100,000 shares of common stock of the Company and registered such shares on a Form S-8, which was filed on April 9, 2004.
On December 31, 2003, Magnus entered into a Finder’s Fee Agreement with True North Management Ltd. (“True North”), whereby Magnus issued 200,000 shares of common stock of Magnus to True North for the execution of the letter of intent entered into between Magnus and Guangxi Non-ferrous Metals Trading & Management Company (“Guangxi”), a company organized under the laws of the People's Republic of
			China, for the further prospecting and development of the Guangxi Bobai Yingqiao Silver Mine located in Yingqiao Town, Bobai County in Guangxi Province, China.
			On January 15, 2004, Magnus entered into a Finder’s Fee Agreement with True North, whereby Magnus issued 400,000 shares of common stock of Magnus to True North for the execution of the two letters of intent entered into between Magnus and Team 209 with respect to forming two co-operative joint venture companies for the exploration and development of the gold and copper deposits in the 129.5 sq. km. area of the Jinlong Mountain gold district and the exploration and development of the gold and copper deposits in the 200 sq. km. area of the Zhamashi gold and copper deposits in Qilian County of Qinghai Province.
			On February 24, 2004, Magnus and Michael Tan entered into a consulting agreement whereby Magnus pays Michael Tan $8,000 per month in consulting fees for assisting Magnus in management and marketing to develop the business of Magnus. Michael Tan is the son of one of the Company’s directors, Steven Tan. This agreement has a term of three years and as of the date of this Annual Report, this consulting agreement remains in effect.
			On March 1, 2004, Magnus and True North (beneficially owned by Mr. Anthony Tam) entered into a consulting agreement whereby Magnus pays True North $10,000 per month in consulting fees for providing consulting services designed to assist the Company as its chief representative in China with respect to negotiations on joint venture option agreements on properties of merit as well as initial geological assessment and engineering assessment of properties of merit to help develop the business of the Company (see “Significant Employees/Consultants”). As of the date of this Annual Report, this consulting arrangement remains in effect.
On April 6, 2004, Magnus entered into a Finder’s Fee Agreement with True North, whereby Magnus agreed to issue 200,000 shares of common stock of Magnus and $200,000 to True North upon the execution of a formal joint venture agreement between Magnus and Team 209 for the formation of a co-operative joint venture company to carry out minerals exploration and development in an 83.29 sq. km. area of Huidong County in Sichuan Province located across the Jinsha Jiang River to the immediate northwest of the Boka gold project in Yunnan Province. A formal joint venture agreement was executed between Magnus and Team 209 on July 6, 2004. Magnus issued the shares to True North during the year ended July 31,2006.
On April 6, 2004, Magnus entered into a Finder’s Fee Agreement with True North, whereby Magnus agreed to issue 100,000 shares of common stock of Magnus and $100,000 to True North upon the execution of a formal joint venture agreement between Magnus and Team 209 for the formation of a co-operative joint venture company to carry out mineral exploration and development in the 200 sq. km. area of Zhamashi gold and copper deposits in Qilian County of Qinghai Province. As of the date of this Annual Report Magnus and Team 209 have not executed a formal joint venture agreement with respect to the Zhamashi gold and copper deposits in Qilian County. The deadline for executing this formal joint venture has passed, and it does not appear that the joint venture, in this case, will formalize.
In relation to the Huidong Joint Venture Agreement, Magnus is required to provide Team 209 with the equivalent of $750,000 in shares of its common stock within 15 days after the Chinese government approves of the issuance of the Long Teng Mining Ltd. business license and the transfer of all relevant exploration permits from Team 209 into Long Teng Mining Ltd. Of the $750,000 in shares to be issued to Team 209, $500,000 is in relation to the Huidong property and $250,000 is in relation to the Luquan property.
On September 29, 2004, the Huidong Joint Venture Agreement was approved by the Chinese Government and a business license for Long Teng Mining Ltd. was issued. The exploration license for one of the two properties covered by the Joint Venture Agreement (Huidong) was successfully transferred into the Joint Venture Company, Long Teng, on July 27, 2005. In connection with this successful transfer, Magnus issued Team 209 $500,000 in common shares. The parties agreed to value the common stock at $1.75 at
			the time the exploration license had been successfully transferred. Thus, 285,714 shares were issued to Team 209. In addition, Magnus appointed Messrs. Graham Taylor, Pete Smith, and Anthony Tam to the Long Teng board. However, on June 23, 2006, Pete Smith resigned from all positions with Magnus and its subsidiaries.
On October 5, 2006 Magnus announced that it had entered into a letter of intent to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares in the capital of African Mineral Fields Inc., a British Virgin Islands company, which holds an exclusive option to acquire 100% interests in four gold projects in Uganda. Graham Taylor, President, CEO and a director of Magnus, is the founder, sole director and majority shareholder of African Mineral Fields Inc. When the board of directors of Magnus votes on approving this transaction, Mr. Graham Taylor will abstain from voting as a director on such transaction.
