The 180 square kilometre Rainbow Nickel Project is located 240 kilometres west of Hudson Bay and 380 kilometres northwest of Churchill, Manitoba. The Rainbow Project is characterized by nickel mineralization associated with komatiitic ultramafic rocks, basalts and sedimentary rocks comprising a volcano-sedimentary basin broadly similar to Kambalda in Western Australia, the Thomson Nickel Belt in northern Manitoba and the Raglan area in northern Quebec.

The Main Zone consists of blocks and boulders of disseminated to massive sulphides, interpreted to be in place or locally derived. Sulphides occur within ultramafic volcanic units or along contacts with mafic members. Mineralization tends to be largely restricted to the lower portion of the ultramafic flows. Sixteen grab samples taken by previous operators from the Main Zone range from 1.47% to 2.65% nickel and from 0.15% to 0.46% copper.

See accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements. DONNER MINERALS LTD. (An exploration stage company) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements May 31, 2004 (Canadian Dollars) 1. Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation The Company is a public company incorporated under the Company Act, British Columbia. Its shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. The principal business of the Company is exploration of mineral properties. As of the date of this report, the Company has not determined whether its mineral properties contain ore reserves that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of amounts shown for mineral properties is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete the exploration of the property and future profitable production from the property or proceeds from disposition. These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes to the financial statements required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three month period ended May 31, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended February 28, 2005. The balance sheet at February 29, 2004 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. 2. Significant Accounting Policies These interim financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with the accounting policies described in the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ended February 29, 2004. For further information, refer to the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended February 29, 2004. Effective March 1, 2003 the Company changed its accounting policy on a prospective basis with respect to the method of accounting for stock-based compensation. The Company adopted CICA 3870, Stock-based Compensation and Other Stock-based Payments, and has chosen to account for all grants of options to employees, non-employees and directors after March 1, 2003 in accordance with the fair value method for accounting for stock-based compensation as defined by accounting principles generally accepted in Canada. Stock-based compensation awards expense is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. (“Black-Scholes”). Previously, the Company used the intrinsic value method for valuing stock-based compensation awards granted to employees and directors where compensation expense is recognized for the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the Company’s common shares over the common share exercise price on the day that options are granted. Using the fair value method for stock-based compensation, the Company recorded a charge to operations of $32,000 for the three months ended May 31, 2003 for stock options granted to employees and directors. This amount was determined using Black-Scholes assuming no dividends were paid, vesting occurring on the date of grant, a weighted average volatility of the Company’s share price of 95%, a weighted average annual risk free interest rate of 3.81% and an expected life of two years. 3. Investment May 31, 2004 Percentage Carrying Market of Ownership Value Value Knight Resources Ltd. Common shares 17.0% $ 680,923 $ 6,365,385 February 29, 2004 Percentage Carrying Market of Ownership Value Value Knight Resources Ltd. Common shares 17.4% $ 759,421 $ 9,792,900 3.

The Company’s share of Knight’s net loss for the three months ended May 31, 2004 was $111,604 (2003 - $56,075). As a result of share issuances by Knight during the three months ended May 31, 2004, the Company recorded a gain on deemed disposition of $33,107 (2003 - $333,406). The market value was determined using the closing quoted price of Knight’s stock on the TSX Venture Exchange on May 31, 2004 or February 29, 2004 as applicable. The Company also owns 8,000,000 non-transferable share purchase warrants whereby the Company has the right to purchase one additional common share of Knight at a price of $0.15 per share expiring March 25, 2005. As at May 31, 2004, the intrinsic value (market price of $0.78 less exercise price of $0.15) of the 8,000,000 non-transferable share purchase warrants was $5,040,000. 4.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis Three Months Ended May 31, 2004 The following discussion and analysis of the results of operations and financial condition (“MD&A”) for Donner Minerals Ltd. (“the Company”) should be read in conjunction with the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended May 31, 2004 and related notes thereto. The financial information in this MD&A is derived from the Company’s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles. The effective date of this MD&A is July 27, 2004. This MD&A may contain forward looking statements based on assumptions and judgments of management regarding events or results that may prove to be inaccurate as a result of exploration or other risk factors beyond its control. Actual results may differ materially from the expected results. Description of Business The Company is a mineral exploration company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties with potential for nickel deposits. The Company has projects in the South Voisey Bay area of Labrador, Newfoundland, the Stephens Lake area of Manitoba and the Rainbow Lake area of Nunavut. The Company is a reporting issuer in British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario and its shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbols DML and DNL respectively. Exploration Projects South Voisey Bay Project, Labrador The South Voisey Bay Project is located in central Labrador, in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador. The South Voisey Bay Project covers approximately 650 square kilometres in which the Company has varying interests ranging from 52% to 77%. Recent exploration work on the South Voisey Bay Project has been carried out by Falconbridge Limited (“Falconbridge”). Falconbridge had an option to earn a 50% interest in the entire South Voisey Bay Project by spending $23 million on exploration, over 5 years. Falconbridge spent approximately $4.8 million on exploration during fiscal 2002, 2003 and 2004. In April 2004, Falconbridge advised the Company that they will not be pursuing the option to earn a 50% interest in the South Voisey Bay Project. The South Voisey Bay property is in good standing because of the expenditures incurred to date. The Company and its partners will continue to investigate various means to move the South Voisey Bay Project forward. Stephens Lake Project, Manitoba The Stephens Lake Project is located in northern Manitoba and covers approximately 4,400 square kilometers. The Company has the option to earn from Falconbridge a 50% participating joint venture interest in the Stephens Lake Project by incurring a total of $5 million of expenditures on exploration and related work on or before the end of December 2006. A 6,200 line kilometre deep penetrating GEOTEM airborne electromagnetic and magnetic survey was flown in the fall of 2003. The airborne and follow-up horizontal loop electromagnetic and magnetic ground geophysics identified ten distinct target areas for drill testing. A ten hole (approximately 2,500 metre) diamond drill program began in March 2004. No ultramafic rocks were intersected in any of the drill holes and all conductors were explained by graphite, iron sulphides or oxide iron formation in metamorphic rocks. No significant assays were returned from any of the drill holes. The Company and Falconbridge have no plans to carry out any further work on the Stephens Lake Project at the present time. However, the property is in good standing because of the expenditures incurred to date and all data will be thoroughly evaluated before any decision is made on the future of this project. As of May 31, 2004, the Company has expended a total of $2,918,972 on the Stephens Lake Project. In order to maintain the Company's option with Falconbridge, the Company is required to spend $79,400 during the remainder of calendar 2004. Rainbow Project, Nunavut On June 4, 2004, the Company signed a non binding letter of intent to enter into an option earn-in agreement with Falconbridge Limited to acquire a 50% interest in a new nickel project in Nunavut know as the Rainbow Project. The 180 square kilometre Rainbow Project is located 240 kilometres west of Hudson Bay and 380 kilometres northwest of Churchill, Manitoba. A formal agreement was signed between the parties on June 18, 2004. The Rainbow Project is characterized by nickel mineralization associated with komatiitic ultramafic rocks, basalts and sedimentary rocks comprising a volcano-sedimentary basin broadly similar to Kambalda in Western Australia, the Thomson Nickel Belt in northern Manitoba and the Raglan area in northern Quebec. Sporadic exploration of the project area has occurred from the 1940’s, mostly for iron formation hosted gold deposits. In 1977 Noranda prospected for gold, mapped parts of the area, completed an INPUT magnetic / electromagnetic survey, and located nickel sulphide mineralization. Noranda prospected the area further in 1990 and 1991 for high-grade komatiitic nickel deposits. The Main Zone consists of blocks and boulders of disseminated to massive sulphides, interpreted to be in place or locally derived. Sulphides occur within ultramafic volcanic units or along contacts with mafic members. Mineralization tends to be largely restricted to the lower portion of the ultramafic flows. Sixteen grab samples from the Main Zone range from 1.47% to 2.65% nickel and from 0.15% to 0.46% copper. A glacial boulder approximately 1 kilometre southeast and down ice from the Main Zone assayed 4.7% nickel. A separate glacial boulder approximately 2 kilometres down ice from the Main Zone assayed 7.4% nickel. The glacial boulders are interpreted to be from the vicinity of the Main Zone, but they may be more locally derived. Seven grab samples, located approximately 1 kilometre southwest of the Main Zone in an area known as the West Zone, ranged from 0.42% to 0.86% nickel, and from 0.04% to 0.06% copper, however one additional sample assayed 3.00% nickel. The known nickel sulphide mineralization was not drilled by Noranda. Three short holes were drilled in the area by Inco in the 50’s and may have been in the stratigraphy of interest. The Company has the option to earn a 50% participating joint venture interest in the Property by incurring a total of $4.5 million of expenditures on exploration and related work on or before May 31, 2007. The Company is required to incur a minimum of $1,500,000 of expenditures per year to keep the option in good standing. The Company has committed to the first year’s expenditures. Exploration will be carried out by Falconbridge, under the direction of a Management Committee comprised of one representative from each of the Company and Falconbridge. Falconbridge will be entitled to charge an administrative and overhead charge of 10% of direct project costs during the option period. Falconbridge has the off take right to all concentrates produced from the property. If a Joint Venture is formed, and, provided Falconbridge has at least 35% interest in the Joint Venture, Falconbridge will be entitled to designate any part of the Property as a Specific Project, and will have the right to increase its interest in the Specific Project by an additional 15% interest by carrying out a Feasibility Study on the Specific Project, and to be operator on the Specific Project. The Company and Falconbridge both have a right of first refusal to purchase all or any part of the other party’s interest in the Joint Venture. The Rainbow option earn-in agreement with Falconbridge is subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval. Exploration on the property is expected to begin in July and will consist of an airborne magnetic and electromagnetic survey, a ground magnetic and electromagnetic survey, geological mapping, prospecting and 2,000 metres of diamond drilling. Drilling is expected to begin in August. The program is expected to cost approximately $1,500,000. Results of Operations The Company incurred a loss of $1,013,971(2003 - $80,545). The Company’s loss per share was $0.01 for 2004 compared to a loss per share of $nil for 2003. The Company expended $807,776 on its Stephens Lake Project (2002 - $254,469) and $nil on its Labrador Regional Project (2002 - $47,368). The Labrador Regional exploration agreement with Falconbridge expired on December 31, 2003. The Company incurred $nil (2003 - $32,000) of stock-based compensation costs as the Company did not grant any stock options during the three months ended May 31, 2004. During the three months ended May 31, 2003, the Company recorded a charge to operations of $32,000 for 400,000 stock options granted to employees and directors. Promotion and travel have both decreased in 2004 compared to 2003 because Management did not spend as much time traveling throughout Canada and Europe, and undertaking fund raising activities. During 2003, the Company revised and updated its internet website and printed significantly more promotional material. The Company’s administration and management fees were $69,733 (2003 - $148,667). Management devotes a portion of their time to the Company and a portion of their time to other companies where they are directors and/or officers. Accordingly, management invoices the Company based on the percentage of time each of the individuals devote to the Company. The Company’s business and projects required less management time during the three months ended May 31, 2004 compared to the same period of 2003. The Company paid an arms-length private company $21,000 (2003 - $28,000) for accounting, secretarial and general administrative services and paid the same company $12,000 (2003 - $12,000) for rent. As at May 31, 2004, the Company owns 8,160,750 common shares of Knight Resources Ltd. (‘Knight”) which is approximately 17% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Knight. The Company’s first quarter share of Knight’s net loss was $111,604 (2003 - $56,075). The increase is mainly attributed to Knight’s increased exploration expenditures on its West Raglan project over the three months ended May 31, 2004 compared to 2003. The Company reported a gain on deemed disposition of Knight of $33,107 (2003 - $333,406) as a result of share issuances by Knight during the first quarter. The gain was much smaller in 2004 compared to 2003 because the Company’s percentage of ownership of Knight was roughly 10% more during the three months ended May 31, 2003 compared to the same period ended May 31, 2004. Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company’s working capital position at May 31, 2004 was $3,182,161 compared to $3,677,562 at February 29, 2004, a decrease of $495,401. The primary reason for the decrease in working capital during the three months ended May 31, 2004 is the $807,776 spent on exploration offset by the $432,730 of cash raised through equity financing during the three months ended May 31, 2004. During the three months ended May 31, 2004, the Company issued 20,482,250 common shares at $0.16 per share for gross proceeds of $3,277,160 pursuant to private placement. Along with the common shares, the Company issued 20,482,250 warrants entitling the holder to purchase one additional common share at a price of $0.20 per share until March 2, 2006. Of the 20,482,250 common shares and 20,482,250 warrants issued, 2,589,250 were flow-through common shares and 2,589,250 were flow-through warrants exercisable into flow-through common shares. The Company paid $113,830 in commissions and incurred $59,000 in fees. The Company also issued 1,872,138 Agent’s Warrants as a commission. The Agent’s Warrants are exercisable at $0.20 per share and expire on March 2, 2006. During the three months ended May 31, 2004, the Company issued 500,000 common shares for net proceeds of $60,000 pursuant the exercise of warrants. It is anticipated that the Company will have the necessary funds available to meet its fiscal 2005 operating costs and the $1,500,000 exploration commitment on the Rainbow Project. The Company does not generate sufficient cash flow from operations to fund its exploration activities, its acquisitions and its administration costs. The Company is reliant on equity financing to provide the necessary cash to continue its operations. There can be no assurance that equity financings will be available to the Company in the future that will be obtained on terms satisfactory to the Company.
