Message to Shareholders
Dear Shareholder,
Your Company continues to finalize arrangements to commence drilling on the Dala
kimberlite licence in Angola in the next several weeks. Drilling of a minimum
of 5,000 metres is planned with an option to drill another 5,000 metres.
The Dala licence is one of the most prospective areas in the diamond rich
country of Angola and comprises some 3000 square kilometres located in the Lunda
Sul province of north-eastern Angola, immediately adjacent to the city of
Saurimo. The licence is bordered both to the west and east by the BHP/Petra
Diamonds' Alto Cuilo and Muriege diamond properties, respectively, and is 40
kilometres south of the Catoca Mine, the world's fourth largest producing
kimberlite diamond mine.
The Company also holds a 2% net smelter return royalty on a portion of the
Newmont owned Ahafo mine in Ghana, which began production in mid-2006. The
agreement is that the Company receives the royalty on all recovered ounces of
gold and silver produced from the Ntotoroso property after the first 1.2 million
gold equivalent ounces. Since start up in mid-2006 to September 30, 2007 a
total of 346,000 ounces has been recovered from the Ntotoroso property. Current
production is about 80,000 ounces per quarter. Newmont is investigating the
potential for an underground mine on the property. Your Company believes that
there may be as much as 4 million ounces of gold available from the open pits
and the possible underground development on the property.
The Company is also in discussions with other mining companies regarding its
interest in the Port Loko bauxite property.
The Company will focus its efforts on securing capital to continue to add value
to its properties. Future cash flow from the royalty on the Ntotoroso gold
property will provide funds with which to evaluate and capitalize on new gold
and precious metal opportunities.

Moydow Mines International Inc.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
And Operating Results
General
This interim management discussion and analysis ("MD&A") is a review of the
Moydow Mines International Inc. ("Moydow" or "the Company") financial and
operating results for the third quarter ending September 30, 2007, and is
compared with those for the corresponding quarter of 2006. In order to better
understand the MD&A, it should be read in conjunction with the audited
consolidated financial statements of the Company and notes thereto for the year
ended December 31, 2006. The MD&A has been prepared as at November 6, 2007.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
Canadian generally accepted accounting principles. The reporting currency for
the Company is the United States dollar, and all amounts in the following
discussion are in United States dollars unless otherwise noted. The attached
financial statements have not been reviewed by the Company's auditors.
Company Overview
Moydow Mines International Inc. is an international exploration company with
primary interests in precious metals, industrial minerals and diamonds.
Exploration activities are focused principally in Africa. Moydow Mines' common
shares are listed on both the Toronto Stock Exchange and the AIM Market of the
London Stock Exchange (symbol "MOY"). For further information on the Company
please visit our website at www.moydow.com or view our public filings on the
SEDAR website at www.sedar.com.
Subsidiaries and affiliated companies of Moydow are organized internationally so
that each has a specific geographic area or mineral project interest. Moydow
provides administrative, technical and financial assistance to these companies.
Forward-Looking Statements
This MD&A contains "forward-looking statements" that are subject to a number of
known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual
results to differ materially from those anticipated in our forward looking
statements. Factors that could cause such differences include: changes in metal
prices, equity markets, results of exploration and related expenses, drilling
activity, sampling and other data, currency exchange rates, change in
governments, ability to raise finances and changes to regulations affecting the
mining industry. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown
risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events or results to differ
materially from estimated or anticipated events or results implied or expressed
in such forward-looking statements.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As at September 30, 2007, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision of
and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the
Company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the
Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the
design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures were effective,
as at September 30, 2007, to provide reasonable assurance that material
information relating to the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries would be
made known to them by others operating within those entities.
Application of Critical Accounting Estimates
Moydow's accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2006. Set out below is a
discussion of the application of Moydow's critical accounting policies that
require the Company to make assumptions about matters that are uncertain at the
time the accounting estimate is made, and where different estimates could
reasonably have been used in the current period, or changes in the accounting
estimate that reasonably likely to occur from period to period would have a
material impact on Moydow's financial statements.
Carrying value of mineral properties
Acquisition costs of mineral properties, together with direct exploration and
development expenses incurred thereon, are deferred and capitalized on a
property by property basis. Upon reaching commercial production, these
capitalized costs are transferred from exploration properties to producing
properties on the consolidated balance sheets and are amortized into operations
using the unit-of-production method over the estimated useful life of the
estimated related ore reserves.
In the event that the long-term expectation is that the net carrying amount of
these capitalized exploration costs will not be recovered, the carrying amount
is written down accordingly and the write-down amount charged to operations.
Such would be indicated where:
* Exploration activities have ceased;
* Exploration results are not promising such that exploration will not be
planned for the foreseeable future;
* Lease ownership rights expire; or
* Insufficient funding is available to complete the exploration program.
The amount shown for mineral properties represents costs incurred to date net of
recoveries from option or joint venture participants and write-downs, and does
not necessarily reflect present or future values.
Overview of Exploration Activities, Contractual Obligations and Commitments
Dala project, Angola
The Company is party to two separate exploration projects with the same partners
on the Dala property in Angola, relating to the exploration for alluvial and
kimberlite diamonds.
Alluvial diamonds
On October 1, 2004, the Company signed an agreement with Empressa Nacional De
Diamantes De Angola (Endiama), the Angolan state diamond mining company and
Cimader-Comercio Geral Limitada (Cimader), a local Angola company, to explore
for alluvial diamonds on the Dala concession, located near the town of Saurimo,
in north-east Angola. The concession comprises 3,000 square kilometres. To
obtain a 33% interest, the Company will have to incur expenditures of not less
than $5,000,000 on or before February 1, 2008. Cimader and Endiama have a free
carried interest in the exploration phase of the project.
The Company entered into a separate agreement with Concord Minerals LLC
(Concord), a private Nevada company, whereby Concord was granted the right to
earn up to 50% of Moydow's interest in the concession by funding exploration
expenditures under Moydow's agreement with Endiama and Cimader. However,
Concord has not exercised this right in full and it presently holds a 10%
interest in the Moydow-Concord agreement.
The Company's cumulative expenditures on the alluvial licence to September 30,
2007, amounted to $3,915,813 of which $346,727 was incurred during the third
quarter 2007.
Kimberlite
On December 16, 2005, the Company signed another agreement with Endiama and
Cimader to explore for kimberlite (primary) diamonds on the Dala concession.
Under the terms of the agreement, the Company can earn a 40% interest in the
concession with the remaining percentages held by Endiama and Cimader. To
obtain its interest, the Company will have to incur expenditures of not less
than $10,000,000 on or before January 14, 2009. Cimader and Endiama have a free
carried interest in the exploration phase of the project. The granting of the
licence was ratified by the Angolan Council of Ministers on October 18th, 2006
and was subject to the Company making a deposit of $1 million with the Angolan
government. The deposit was made in 2006 and may be refunded provided that
Moydow meets certain conditions. The deposit has been included as a component
of the cost to acquire an interest in the Dala project.
The Company also has an agreement with Concord, whereby Concord was granted the
right to earn up to 50% of Moydow's interest in the kimberlite concession, by
funding exploration expenditures under Moydow's agreement with Endiama and
Cimader. As in the case of the alluvials, Concord has not exercised its right
in full and its interest presently stands at 10% in the Moydow-Concord
agreement.
The Company's cumulative expenditures on the kimberlite licence to September 30,
2007, amounted to $3,416,906 of which $725,332 was incurred during the third
quarter of 2007.
Port Loko property, Sierra Leone
The Company has a 50% interest in the Port Loko bauxite exploration project in
Sierra Leone, West Africa. The other 50% interest in the project is held by
Gondwana Investments Limited (Gondwana), a company incorporated in Luxembourg.
Since the licence expired in November 2006, the Company has applied to the
Sierra Leone government for a renewal of its licence in respect of its activity
at Port Loko. In the event that the licence is not renewed, the Company will be
required to write-off its investment in this project. Work continues on
reviewing the various options to advance the property.
Cumulative expenditures by the Company to September 30, 2007, amounted to
$2,911,129 of which $42,702 was incurred in the second quarter of 2007.
Ntotoroso property, Ghana
On December 8, 2003, the Company sold its wholly-owned subsidiary, Moydow
Limited (Isle of Man), which, following an internal restructuring, owned the
Company's 50% joint venture interest in the Ntotoroso gold property in Ghana but
no other mineral properties, to Newmont Mining Corporation ("Newmont").
In connection with the sale, the Company entered into a royalty agreement
whereby the Company acquired the right to a net smelter return royalty of 2% on
all recovered ounces of gold and silver produced from the Ntotoroso property
after the first 1.2 million gold equivalent ounces for a consideration of $0.25
million. No value has been ascribed to the royalty rights acquired by the
Company due to the uncertainty associated with this asset. Newmont commenced
production on this property in mid-2006 and to September 30, 2007 had produced a
total of 346,000 ounces of gold equivalent ounces.
Hwidem property, Ghana
On October 3, 2005, the Company was granted a two-year extension to its
prospecting licence with respect to the Hwidem property, by the Minister for
Lands, Forestry and Mines in Ghana. The Company has applied to the Minister for
Lands, Forestry and Mines for an extension to its prospecting licence and
expects to receive the licence in the fourth quarter of 2007. The licence area
covers 24.7 square kilometres and it adjoins the Kenyase-Ntotoroso area
currently under lease to Rank Mining Company Limited, a subsidiary of Newmont.
The minimum exploration expenditures required to maintain the licence are $0.52
million which has been spent as at September 30, 2007.
Commitments
The Company, either directly or through certain joint ventures, has obligations
to expend various amounts on its mineral properties and projects in order to
keep its mineral property rights in good standing. All agreements are in the
normal course of business.
Payments due ($ thousand) Total Less than 1 year 1 to 3 years
Exploration and development $15,523 $5,523 $10,000
For amounts spent to date on exploration and development as part of these
commitments refer to Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Segmented Information
The Company has one reportable operating segment, being exploration of mineral
properties in geographic areas disclosed in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements.
Results of Operations
Net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2007, was $0.36 million or $0.01
per share compared to a loss of $0.33 million in same period in 2006 or $0.01
per share.
General and administrative expenses were $0.28 million during the third quarter
of 2007 as compared with $0.20 million in the same period of 2006. The increase
in 2007 compared with 2006 is a result of operating currencies strengthening
against the United States dollars together with additional professional fees,
associated with the issue of capital stock.
On July 13, 2007, the Company issued 3.3 million stock options. The Company
issued 2.1 million options at Cdn$0.20 per common share which vest on July 13,
2007 and, in addition, the Company issued 1.2 million options at Cdn$0.33 per
share which vest on July 13, 2008. The expiry date for all the options is July
13, 2012.
The estimated fair value of the stock options issued on July 13, 2007 was
Cdn$232,519. The fair value of each stock option granted was estimated on the
date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following
assumptions:
Risk-free interest rate 3.75%
Expect Life 5 years
Estimated volatility 80.00%
Dividend yield NIL%
The foreign exchange gain for the period ended September 30, 2007, was $0.02
million compared to a loss of $0.01 million in the same period of 2006. The
foreign exchange gain resulted from the movements in exchange rates between
operating currencies and the United States dollar.
The Company earned deposit interest income of $0.003 million and $0.002 million
in the third quarter of 2007 and 2006, respectively.
The Company's revenues are derived from: interest which is dependent on

$0.02 per share compared to a loss of $0.63 million in the same period in 2006
or $0.02 per share. The increase in 2007 compared with 2006 is a result of
operating currencies strengthening against the United States dollars together
with additional professional fees, associated with the issue of capital stock.
During the nine month period ended September 30, 2006, the Company sold its
remaining 45,000 Newmont common shares for proceeds of $2.53 million. The
Company recognized a gain of $0.31 million on the sale of these shares.
General and administrative expenses were $0.85 million during the first nine
months of 2007 as compared with $0.64 million in the same period of 2006.
On July 13, 2007, the Company issued 3.3 million stock options. The Company
issued 2.1 million options at Cdn$0.20 per common share which vest on July 13,
2007 and, in addition, the Company issued 1.2 million options at Cdn$0.33 per
share which vest on July 13, 2008. The expiry date for all the options is July
13, 2012.
The estimated fair value of the stock options issued on July 13, 2007 was
Cdn$232,519. The fair value of each stock option granted was estimated on the
date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following
assumptions:
Risk-free interest rate 3.75%
Expect Life 5 years
Estimated volatility 80.00%
Dividend yield NIL%
The foreign exchange loss in the first nine months of 2007 was $0.04 million
compared to a gain of $0.18 million in the same period of 2006. The foreign
exchange gain resulted from the movements in exchange rates between operating
currencies and the United States dollar.
The Company earned dividend income of $nil and $0.001 million during the period
ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The dividend income was
received from the Company's shareholding in Newmont.
The Company earned deposit interest income of $0.004 million and $0.008 million
during the first nine months of 2007 and 2006, respectively.
The Company's revenues are derived from: interest and dividend income, which is
dependent on available cash balances and prevailing interest rates and returns
on investments which are dependent on the prevailing market at the time of sale.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company recorded a
recovery of income taxes in the sum of $0.11 million and $0.05 million
respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 2007, the Company had negative working capital of $2.51 million
(December 31, 2006 - $2.24 million). Cash and cash equivalents at September 30,
2007 amounted to $0.11 million compared to cash and cash equivalents as the end
of 2006 of $0.14 million.
During 2006, the Company entered into an unsecured loan agreement with certain
parties. The Company was advanced $1.43 million (including $0.13 million for
related parties) which is repayable on demand. The loan was non-interest
bearing. On March 30, 2007, the Company closed a private placement of 9,547,186
common shares of the Company at a price of Cdn$0.20 per share in settlement of
US$1.62 million of debts owed for loans by the Company.
These financial statements have been prepared using Canadian generally accepted
accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the
realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of
business as they come due. As at September 30, 2007, the Company had an excess
of current liabilities over current assets of $2.51 million (December 31, 2006 -
$2.24 million) and has recorded losses and net cash outflows from operations for
the past two years. The Company is also required to make expenditures in the
near term to keep its mineral property rights in Angola. The Company will have
to secure additional financing to meet its required commitments. These
circumstances lend substantial doubt as to the ability of the Company to meet
its obligations as they come due and, accordingly, the appropriateness of the
use of accounting principles applicable to a going concern.
Cash Flow Statements
Cash flow provided in operating activities for the three months ended September
30, 2007, including changes in non-cash working capital of $0.20 million,
totalled $0.06 million as compared to cash flow used of $1.71 million in the
third quarter of 2006. In the three months ended September 30, 2007, cash used
in investing activities was $0.78 million (2006-$0.55 million) which was
expended on exploration of mineral properties principally in Angola and Sierra
Leone.
Cash flow from financing activities for the three months ended September 30,
2007, was $nil million, (2006 cash flow from financing activities - $2.25
million principally from the issue of 7,655,143 common shares for cash in the
amount of $1.25 million). During 2006, the Company was advanced $1.43 million
(including $0.13 million for related parties) which was repayable on demand.
The loan was non-interest bearing. On March 30, 2007, Moydow closed a private
placement of 9,547,186 common shares of the Company at a price of Cdn$0.20 per
share in settlement of $1.62 million of debts owed for loans by the Company.
Cash flow provided for operating activities for the nine months ended September
30, 2007, including increases in non-cash working capital of $1.68 million,
totalled $0.91 million as compared to cash flow used in operating activities of
$2.96 million in the same period of 2006. During the nine months ended
September 30, 2007 cash used in investing activities was $2.77 million which was
expended on exploration of mineral properties, principally on the Dala diamond
project in Angola and Port Loko bauxite property in Sierra Leone. During the
nine months ended September 30, 2006, cash used in investing activities was
$0.19 million representing the proceeds from the sale of 45,000 Newmont common
shares in the sum of $2.52 million less $2.33 million expended on exploration of
mineral properties, principally on the Port Loko bauxite property in Sierra
Leone and the Dala diamond project in Angola.
Cash flow from financing activities for the nine months ended September 30,
2007, was $1.83 million representing $3.26 million, being the proceeds from the
issue of 18,297,186 common shares in the Company (2006 cash flow from financing
activities - $1.25 million from the issue of 7,655,143 common shares for cash )
less the repayment of loans in the amount of $1.43 million. During 2006, the
Company was advanced $1.43 million (including $0.13 million for related parties)
which was repayable on demand. The loan was non-interest bearing.

minimize its investment risk, currency risk or commodity risk. There are no
off-balance sheet arrangements.

Regulatory, Environmental and Other Risk Factors
The Company intends to fulfil all statutory commitments on its current licences
over the next year and will apply for licence renewals in the normal course of
business.
The Company's operating income and cash flow are affected by changes in the U.S.
/Canadian dollar exchange rate together with movement in the local currencies in
Angola, Sierra Leone, Ghana, and Ireland, as a portion of the Company's costs
are incurred in these currencies.
The profitability of any mining operation will be significantly affected by
changes in the market price of commodities. Commodity prices fluctuate on a
daily basis and are affected by numerous factors such as world supply, Central
Bank selling, stability of exchange rates, forward sales and inflationary
forces, among other factors beyond Moydow's control.
Exploration companies are subject to various laws and regulations, including but
not limited to environmental and health and safety matters, together with
political risks which are outside the Company's control. Moydow is committed to
a program of environmental protection at all of its projects and exploration
sites.
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared on the basis that the
Company will continue as a going concern which presumes that it will be able to
realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of
business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be
necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. If
management is unsuccessful in securing capital, the Company's assets may not be
realized or its liabilities discharged at their carrying amounts and these
differences could be material.
Outlook
The Company will focus its efforts on securing capital to continue to add value
to its properties. Future cash flow from the royalty on the Ntotoroso gold
property will provide funds with which to evaluate and capitalize on new gold
and precious metal opportunities.

MOYDOW MINES INTERNATIONAL INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(expressed in United States dollars, unless otherwise stated)
1) Nature of operations and going concern
Moydow Mines International Inc. ("Moydow" or "the Company") is an international
exploration company with primary interests in precious and industrial minerals
and diamonds. Moydow's common shares are listed on both the Toronto Stock
Exchange and the AIM Market of the London Stock Exchange.
The Company is exploring its mineral properties and, as at September 30, 2007,
had not determined the existence of economically recoverable reserves (Note 3).
The recoverability of the amounts shown for mineral properties is dependent upon
the existence of economically recoverable mineral reserves, the preservation of
the Company's interest in the underlying mineral claims, the ability to obtain
necessary financing, to obtain government approval and to attain profitable
production or, alternatively, upon the company's ability to profitably dispose
of its interests.
These financial statements have been prepared using Canadian generally accepted
accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the
realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of
business as they come due. As at September 30, 2007, the Company had an excess
of current liabilities over current assets of $2,512,892 and has recorded losses
and net cash outflows from operations for the past two years. The Company is
also required to make expenditures in the near term to keep its mineral property
rights in Angola. The Company will have to secure additional financing to meet
its required commitments. These circumstances lend substantial doubt as to the
ability of the Company to meet its obligations as they come due and,
accordingly, the appropriateness of the use of accounting principles applicable
to a going concern.
In recognition of these circumstances, the Company is exploring various
initiatives to secure capital so that Moydow can continue as a going concern.
It is not possible to determine, with any certainty, the success, adequacy or
sufficiency of these initiatives.
The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its
ability to fund its working capital and exploration requirements and eventually
to generate positive cash flows, either from operations or sale of a property.
These financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values
of assets and liabilities and the reported expenses and balance sheet
classifications that would be necessary were the going concern assumption
inappropriate. These adjustments could be material.
Operating results for the periods ended September 30, 2007 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ended December
31, 2007. For further information, see the Company's consolidated financial
statements including the notes thereto included in the Annual Report for the
year ended December 31, 2006.
