Basis of Presentation:

a)

The Company, incorporated under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, is a natural resource company engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of silver, gold and precious metal properties. The Consolidated financial statements of Paramount Gold Mining Corp. include the accounts of its wholly owned subsidiaries, Paramount Gold de Mexico S.A. de C.V. and Compania Minera Paramount SAC.

These unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for interim financial information. These financial statements are condensed and do not include all disclosures required for annual financial statements.  The organization and business of the Company, accounting policies followed by the Company and other information are contained in the notes to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements filed as part of the Company’s June 30, 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. This quarterly report should be read in conjunction with such annual report.

In the opinion of management, these consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s consolidated financial position at March 31, 2007 and the consolidated results of operations and consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The results of operations for the three months and nine months ended March 31, 2007, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year.

b)

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

c)

Exploration Stage Enterprise

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting and according to the provision of Statement of Financial Accounting No. 7 (“SFAS 7”), “Accounting and Reporting for Development Stage Enterprises”, as it were devoting substantially all of its efforts to acquiring and exploring mineral properties. It is industry practice that mining companies in the development stage are classified under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles as exploration stage companies. Until such properties are acquired and developed, the Company will continue to prepare its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in accordance with entities in the exploration or development stage.

2.

Principal Accounting Policies

The fair value of financial instruments classified as current assets including cash approximate carrying value due to the short-term maturity of the instruments.

Long Term Assets

Mineral Properties

Cost of acquiring mineral properties are capitalized until the properties have been sold, abandoned or an impairment test concludes a write-down is necessary.

Fixed Assets

Fixed Assets are capitalized at cost. Amortization is recorded on a declining balance basis at a rate between 20% and 30% per annum. In the year of acquisition only one half year of amortization is taken.

Mineral Property Exploration Costs

The Company expenses all costs related to the maintenance and exploration of mineral claims in which it has secured exploration rights prior to establishment of proven and probable reserves.  To date, the Company has not established the commercial feasibility of its exploration prospects; therefore, all exploration costs are being expensed.

Income Taxes

Potential benefits of income tax losses are not recognized in the accounts until realization is more likely than not. The Company has adopted SFAS No. 109 as of its inception. Pursuant to SFAS No. 109 the Company is required to compute tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward. Potential benefits of net operating losses have note been recognized in these financial statements because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years; and accordingly is offset by a valuation allowance.

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar. Translation gains and losses that arise from exchange rates fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred. Transactions in foreign currency are translated into U.S dollars as follows:

-

monetary items at the rate prevailing at the balance sheet date;

-

non-monetary items at the historical exchange rate;

2.

Principal Accounting Policies (continued):

-

revenue and expenses that are monetary items are valued at the average rate in effect during the applicable accounting period.

Asset Retirement Obligation

The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143 (“SFAS 143”), “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations”, which requires that an asset retirement obligation (“ARO”) associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset be recognized as a liability in the period in which it is incurred and becomes determinable, with an offsetting increase in the carrying amount of the associated asset. The cost of the tangible asset, including the initially recognized ARO, is depleted, such that the cost of the ARO is recognized over the useful life of the asset. The ARO is recorded at fair value, and accretion expense is recognizable over time as the discounted liability is accreted to its expected settlement value. The fair value of the ARO is measured using expected future cash flow, discounted at the Company’s credit-adjusted-risk-free interest rate. To date, no material asset retirement obligation exists due to the early stage of the Company’s mineral exploration. Accordingly, no liability has been recorded.

Environmental Protection and Reclamation Costs

The operations of the Company have been, and may in the future be affected from time to time in varying degrees by changes in environmental regulations, including those for future removal and site restoration costs. Both the likelihood of new regulations and their overall effect upon the Company may vary form region to region and are not predictable.

Environmental expenditures that relate to ongoing environmental and reclamation programs are charged against statements of operations as incurred or capitalized and amortized depending upon their future economic benefits. The Company does not anticipate any material capital expenditures for environmental control facilities.

Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share

The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share”. SFAS No. 128 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS give effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. In computing Diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti dilutive. The basic and diluted EPS has been retroactively restated to take into effect the 2 for 1 stock split that occurred on July 11, 2005.

Concentration of Credit and Foreign Exchange Rate Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit and foreign exchange risk consist principally of cash, deposited with a high quality credit institution and amounts receivable, mainly representing value added tax recoverable from a foreign government. Management does not believe that the Company is subject to significant credit or foreign exchange risk from these financial instruments.

Stock Based Compensation

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option valuation model to value stock options granted. The Black- Scholes model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. The model requires management to make estimates, which are subjective and may not be representative of actual results. Changes in assumptions can materially affect estimates of fair values. For purposes of the calculation, the following assumptions were used:

 

 

2006

 

Risk free interest rate

 

4.18%

 

Expected dividend yield

                    

0%

 

Expected stock price volatility

 

76% - 80%

 

Expected life of options

 

5 years

 

The grant-date fair value of options granted during the quarter ended March 31, 2007 was between $1.24 - $1.52.

Total stock-based compensation for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 was $2,009,152, recorded as stock based compensation in the statement of operations.

Background

We are an exploration stage mining company which has as its core business, precious metals exploration. We currently have two projects under option, the San Miguel Groupings property in Mexico and the Andean Gold Alliance with Teck Cominco Limited, initially comprising 21 properties in Argentina, Chile and Peru. A third project is the acquisition of the Cotaruse property in Peru. There is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on any of these properties, and that further exploration will be required before a final evaluation as to the economic and legal feasibility is determined.

Paramount does not expect to generate revenues from either the San Miguel or Cotaruse projects in the next 2 years. Further, it is not Paramount’s objective to enter the mine management business, but rather hopes to identify a resource that will enable them to attract a larger company to partner with who has experience developing and managing a mine.

We have been dependent upon private financings to operate our business.

Our Management:

Our chief executive officer is Christopher Crupi, a former Vice President of PricewaterhouseCoopers. Mr. Crupi oversees our administrative and operational activities. In addition to his duties at Paramount, Mr. Crupi is also President and Chief Financial Officer of AmMex Gold Mining Corp., a publicly traded mining exploration company with property interests in both the United Sates and Mexico.  Our other Board members include Charles Reed, John Carden and Daniel Hachey.

Charles William (“Bill”) Reed serves as our Manager of Exploration in Mexico and has committed 70% of his time to his duties at Paramount. In addition to his duties at Paramount, Mr. Reed is also Chief Geologist of AmMex Gold Mining Corp., a publicly traded mining exploration company with mining interests in both the United States and Mexico.

Dr. John Carden has more than twenty years experience in exploration management, teaching, and research. Past positions include President of Latitude Minerals Corporation (LTU), a publicly traded company on the Canadian Venture Exchange, and Director of U.S. exploration for Echo Bay Mining.

Daniel Hachey is a member of our board of directors. Mr. Hachey has a strong capital markets background with twenty years of experience in investment banking largely in the area of public equity financing including initial public offerings (IPO’s) and private placements Currently, Mr. Hachey is President and CEO of Greenwich Global Capital Inc., a public capital pool company listed on the TSX-V.

Our Chief Operating Officer in Mexico is Larry Segerstrom. Our Manager of Exploration in South America is Alain Vachon, an independent geologist. Mark Slaeunwhite, formerly of Barrick Gold, is a senior geologist working with our project teams in Mexico and South America.

Our Operations:

San Miguel Groupings

We have acquired a 70% interest in the San Miguel Groupings property in Mexico. San Miguel is located in Chihuahua, Mexico and lies in the Temoris mining district, part of the gold-silver belt of the Sierra Madre Occidental, just a few kilometres northwest of the town of Temoris. It can be accessed by vehicle and railway and has well-developed infrastructure with a recently constructed 33,000 volt power line. The project covers approximately 800 acres with an estimated 6 kms of strike in the historic gold/silver mining district.

The Temoris mining district lies within a northwest trending belt of gold and silver deposits in the western portion of the Sierra Madre Occidental. gold/silver mineralization in the project occurs as quartz veins and breccias within the west-northwest- and north-northwest-striking faults.

Andean Gold Alliance

We also have an agreement with Teck Cominco Limited called the Andean Gold Alliance (“AGA”) which initially consisted of 21 properties (10 in Argentina, 7 in Chile and 4 in Peru). The alliance creates a strategic alliance between Paramount and Teck Cominco for gold exploration in these three countries. The AGA also provides for a mutual Right of First Offer with respect to the divestiture of new and existing gold exploration properties in other parts of Argentina, Chile and Peru.

Linda Property - Peru

The Linda property in Peru is under option with Minera ABX Exploraciones S.A., a subsidiary of Barrick Gold Corporation. The option agreement, dated October 6, 2005, enables us to earn a 51% interest in the Linda property by drilling 6,000 meters within 30 months of the date of the option agreement. During the period, as a result of unsatisfactory drill results, the Company terminated its option with Minera ABX Exploraciones S.A. and satisfied all its liabilities thereunder.

Cotaruse Property – Peru

We have signed an agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the Cotarusee property located in Department of Apurimac in Southern Peru.  The purchase price is $3 million and we are obligated to incur exploration expenditures of $2,000,000 over a period of four years. The first year’s payment will be $150,000, followed by payments of $750,000 in year two, $800,000 in year three and $1.3 million at the end of year four.  The owner also receives a 2.5% NSR of which 1.5% can be bought back upon a lump sum payment of $2 million. The project consists of a 1,000 hectare mining concession with main infrastructures in place, including highway, electricity and water, which are readily accessible within 5 kms of the center of the property.

Recent Financings:

On March 30, 2007, we closed a $21,836,841 private placement offering (the “Financing”) of 10,398,496 units  (the “Units”) at a price of $2.10 per Unit (the “Issue Price”). Each unit is comprised of one share of Common Stock in the capital of the Company and one-half of one common stock purchase warrant of the Company.  Each whole Warrant shall entitle the holder thereof to acquire one share of common stock in the capital of the Company (a “Warrant Share”) at an exercise price of $2.90 for 24 months following the closing date of the offering. Also in connection with the Financing, we issued 623,909 broker warrants which are exerciseable for a period of 24 months at an exercise price of $2.10 per share. We filed a report on Form 8-k with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 6, 2007 detailing this transaction.

Financing fees were $1,620,615 representing fees paid in connection with the closing of our $21.8 million financing and were recorded as a reduction in share capital and not in the Statement of Operations.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three and Nine months ended March 31, 2007 to the Three and Nine Months Ended March 31, 2006.

Revenues

We are an exploratory mining company with no revenues from operations to date. All of our revenues to date represent interest income which we have earned as a result of our cash holdings. Our cash holdings were generated from the sale of our securities. Interest income was $2,434 and $2,695 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to $3,892 and $5,018 during the comparable period in the prior year. Interest income declined as we utilized a significant portion of our cash reserves for geological fees, acquisition of mining interests and general working capital. We anticipate our interest income will increase in the coming year with the completion of our latest round of financing and irrespective of any proceeds from the exercise of any common stock purchase warrants.

Operating Expenses

We incurred expenses totaling $6,255,101 and $12,232,732 for the three and nine month period ended March 31, 2007 as compared to $743,140 and $1,077,895 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2006. Consulting fees were $1,264,229 and $2,851,036 as compared to $484,518 and $486,018. We did not record any financing fees prior to the quarter ended March 31, 2007. Corporate communications and investor relation fees were valued at $904,947 and $2,235,250 as compared to $484,518 and $486,018. The significant increase in all of these expenses as well the other expenses identified in our Statement of Operations is the result of increased costs that we have incurred in acquiring various mining rights and exploratory costs related thereto.

We issued a total of 920,000 shares of our Common Stock for services rendered and 400,000 shares of our Common Stock for the acquisition of mineral properties. The value of the Common Stock was determined based upon the closing bid price of our Common Stock on the date of grant.

We recorded stock based compensation expense of $2,009,152 as a result of stock options granted to employees and management pursuant to the 2006/07 Stock Incentive and Compensation Plan. All stock options were priced at fair market value based on trading prices on the date of grant.

Net Income (loss)

Our Net Loss for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2007 was $4,243,515 and $10,220,885 as compared to a Net Loss of $739,248 and $1,072,877 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2006. Our Net Loss per Share was $(0.163) and $(0.357) as compared to a Net Loss per Share of $(0.024) and $(0.035) for the comparable periods in 2006. Until such time as we are able to identify mineral deposits which we believe can be extracted in a commercially reasonable manner, of which there can be no assurance, we anticipate that we will continue to incur ongoing losses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Assets and Liabilities

As of March 31, 2007, we had cash totaling $19,863,136 as compared to $465,791 as of June 30, 2006. Accounts receivable totaled $436,508 as compared to $177,110 and prepaid expenses and deposits of $2,828,513 as compared to $230,665. We had total current assets of $23,128,157 as compared to $873,566. The significant increase in our cash holdings is directly attributable to the completion of our Financing.

Our long term assets at March 31, 2006 were $4,502,296 as compared to $2,932,800 while our fixed assets totaled $164,634 as compared to $42,303. Total assets as at March 31, 2007 were $27,795,087 as compared to $3,848,669 as at June 30, 2006. The significant increase in our fixed assets is in connection with our mineral properties and the payments we have made in connection therewith.

Our current liabilities as of March 31, 2007 was $1,333,453 as compared to $429,246 as of June 30, 2006. We have a working capital surplus of $21,794,704 as compared to a working capital surplus of $444,320. As a result of the Financing, we anticipate that we will be able to meet our currently existing ongoing contractual commitments for any property or mineral rights and have sufficient financial resources to fund our ongoing exploration and geological endeavors.

SUBEQUENT EVENTS

Following the quarter ended March 31, 2007, we paid Daniel Hachey a consulting fee of $870,000. The fee was paid to Mr. Hachey in connection with the assistance he provided in connection with strategic planning and consulting services and has been accrued in the accounts payable as at March 31, 2007.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Financial Reporting Release No. 60, which was released by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), encourages all companies to include a discussion of critical accounting policies or methods used in the preparation of financial statements. The Company’s consolidated financial statements include a summary of the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. Management believes the following critical accounting policies affect the significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements.

Use of Estimates - Management’s discussion and analysis or plan of operation is based upon the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates these estimates, including those related to allowances for doubtful accounts receivable and long-lived assets. Management bases these estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

We review the carrying value of property and equipment for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets is measured by comparison of its carrying amount to the undiscounted cash flows that the asset or asset group is expected to generate. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the property, if any, exceeds its fair market value.

Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment,” under the modified prospective method. SFAS No. 123(R) eliminates accounting for share-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value method prescribed under APB Opinion No. 25,



21





“Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and requires instead that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. Under the modified prospective method, we are required to recognize compensation cost for share-based payments to employees based on their grant-date fair value from the beginning of the fiscal period in which the recognition provisions are first applied. For periods prior to adoption, the financial statements are unchanged, and the pro forma disclosures previously required by SFAS No. 123, as amended by SFAS No. 148, will continue to be required under SFAS No. 123(R) to the extent those amounts differ from those in the Statement of Operations.

Item 3.

Controls and Procedures.

As of the end of the period covered by this Report, the Company’s chief executive officer and its principal financial officer (the “Certifying Officers”), evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based on that evaluation, the Certifying Officers concluded that, as of the date of their evaluation, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s periodic filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management, including these officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Christopher Crupi currently serves as our chief executive officer and chief financial officer and is the “Certifying Officer” in this report.

The Certifying Officers have also indicated that there were no significant changes in our internal controls or other factors that could significantly affect such controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation and there were no corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

Our management, including the Certifying Officers, do not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal controls will prevent all errors and fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. In addition, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the control. The design of any systems of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Because of these inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
