Management Discussion and Analysis
Interim MD&A – March 31, 2006
This Management Discussion and Analysis of Entourage Mining Ltd. (the “Company”) provides analysis of the Company’s financial results for three month period ended March 31, 2006. The following information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying un-audited financial statements and the notes to un-audited financial statements.
1.1 Date of Report May 30, 2006
1.2 Overall Perfomance
Nature of Business and Overall Performance
The Company’s shares have been publicly traded since February 2nd, 2004 when the Company was called for trading on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board in the United States under the symbol ETGMF. The Company is a reporting issuer in both the United States and in British Columbia.
Entourage Mining Ltd. (“Entourage”, the “Company” or “We”) was originally incorporated under the name, Entourage Holdings Ltd., pursuant to the Company Act (British Columbia) on June 16, 1995. On June 25, 1996, we changed our name to Entourage Mining Ltd. On February 18, 1998, we became a reporting Issuer as defined under the Securities Act of the Province of British Columbia in British Columbia, Canada.
We have one subsidiary company, Entourage USA Inc., domiciled in Reno, Nevada. This subsidiary is used to acquire additional exploration properties in the United States of America.
We are a natural resource company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of natural resource properties. We commenced operations in 1996 and currently have entered into four option agreements:
to acquire a fifty per cent (50%) interest in four claim blocks totaling 16,900 hectares of prospective uranium property situated at Hatchet Lake on the Athabasca Basin of north-central Saskatchewan; and
to acquire a 100% interest in the 72 gold-silver Black Warrior claims situate in Esmeralda County, Nevada, USA, of which a total 20% interest has been optioned by us to two other companies;
to acquire an 80% interest in 520 prospective diamond exploration claims situated in the Forte a la Corne/Smeaton area of central Saskatchewan; and
to acquire a one hundred per cent (100%) interest in 44 claim uranium prospective claim blocks in Costebelle Township known as the Doran property;
and we intend to seek and acquire additional properties worthy of exploration and development.
Entourage is an exploration stage company and there is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on any of the properties, and further exploration will be required before a final evaluation as to the economic and legal feasibility of all of our claims is determined.
1.2.1 Mineral Properties: Background and Agreements
1.2.1(a) Hatchet Lake Properties
By agreement dated April 7, 2005 as amended October 20, 2005, the Company obtained an option to acquire a 50% right in a certain prospective mineral property located in the Athabaska Basin area of Saskatchewan (the “Hatchet Lake Property”) in consideration for:
(i) a cash payment of $220,000 on or before November 15, 2005 (paid);
1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(ii) making the following exploration expenditures on the property:
(iii) $100,000 on or before December 31, 2005 (completed February 2, 2006);
(iv) An additional $300,000 on or before February 1, 2006 (extended to June 30, 2006, per February 2, 2006 letter agreement);
(v) An additional $450,000 on or before November 15, 2006; and
(vi) An additional $450,000 on or before November 15, 2007.
Upon payment of the $220,000 cash payment and completion of the expenditures as noted in (ii)(a) to (c) above, Entourage will have exercised the Option as to a 25% interest in the property.
Upon payment of the $220,000 cash payment and completion of all of the expenditures as noted in (ii) above, the Company will have exercised the option and earned a 50% interest in the Property.
The term of the Agreement is for 5 years at which time the agreement, and the option granted thereunder, shall terminate if the option has not been exercised.
On October 20, 2005, the Company, by way of an assignment agreement with CMKM and United Carina the Company increased its interest in the Hatchet Lake property by assuming all of the interests of CMKM in the Hatchet Lake properties.
As consideration for the assignment agreement, the Company agreed to issue 15,000,000 of its common shares (issued January 3, 2006) to the CMKM shareholders. The 15,000,000 shares have been recorded as mineral property expenditures and an obligation to issue shares totaling $2,650,500 in the year ended December 31, 2005.
As a result of this assignment agreement, and the subsequent “New Hatchet Lake Option Agreement”, also dated October 20, 2005, the Company now has a right to earn a 50% interest in the Hatchet Lake property by:
(i) paying $220,000 on or before November 15, 2005 (paid), to United Carina; and
(ii) making the following exploration expenditures on the property:
(a) on or before December 31, 2005, $100,000 (completed February 2, 2006);
(b) on or before February 1, 2006, an additional $300,000 (extended to June 30, 2006);
(c) on or before November 15, 2006, an additional $450,000; and
(d) on or before November 15, 2007, an additional $450,000.
In the fall of 2005, United Carina announced to the Company that line cutting and trench sampling was completed on the property. Drilling of targets on the Hatchet lake prospect began in the last week of March 2006. The original 10-hole program was shortened due to un-seasonally warm spring weather in the area. Assays from the 4 completed drill holes did not identify anomalous uranium values.
There is no NI 43-101 compliant report yet completed on the Hatchet Lake property. United Carina Resources Corp. is the Operator of the Hatchet Lake prospect. The companies hope to resume the remainder of the 10-hole program in the late fall of 2006 when frozen conditions permit travel by land.
1.2.1(b) Nevada Property
In June 2004, we announced that we signed a definitive agreement with Goodsprings Development Corp. (“Goodsprings”), a Nevada based corporation, whereby we may earn a 100% interest in the GBW project in Esmeralda County, Nevada commonly known as the “Black Warrior Project” in the Company’s other disclosure documents. We have optioned a total 20% interest in the project (as described in the agreement summary below) to two other companies. The project comprises patented and un-patented mineral claims in the Walker Lane mineral belt.
2
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Walker Lane continues to be one of the focal points of mineral exploration in Nevada and has produced over 20 million ounces of gold. Gold and silver mineralization on the project is hosted in low-angle, structurally controlled zones and in widespread zones of jasperoid. There has been very limited previous exploration work, and Entourage plans an aggressive mapping and sampling campaign followed by an RC drilling program to test the targets.
The GBW project, upon signing of the definitive agreement, consisted of 10 un-patented and 2-patented mineral claims as referenced in the Company’s SEC 6-k filing dated June 23, 2004. A further 20 un-patented mineral claims were staked on behalf of Entourage by Goodsprings Development Corp. as referenced in the Company’s SEC 6-k filing dated July 6th, 2004. Furthermore, an additional 40 claims were staked on behalf of Entourage and referenced in the Company ‘s August 5th, 2004 SEC 6-k filing bringing Entourage’s total land package on the Walker Lane Trend to 70 un-patented and 2 -patented mineral claims.
To date we have made project property payments, county filing charges, Nevada Bureau of Land Management (BLM) payments, sample assaying, staking costs, drilling, drill core assaying and administrative costs totaling $300,452.00USD. The following table illustrates Entourage’s GBW financial obligations going forward:

Nevada Property Agreement Summary
The sub-lease Agreement between Goodsprings Development Corp. (the “Lessee”) and Entourage Mining Ltd. (the “Sub-Lessee”), wherein the Sub-Lessee assumes all of the responsibilities of the Lessee, continues from the original lease Agreement between Apex Deep Mines (the“Owner” or the “Lessor”) and the Lessee wherein the Owner grants to Lessee the exclusive right to purchase the Property, subject to the Royalty ( 3% “Net Smelter”) reserved by Owner and subject to Lessee’s obligations under the conveyance executed and delivered by Owner on the closing of the Option. The Purchase Price for the Property shall be Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($400,000.00) . The Rental Payments paid by Lessee to Owner shall be credited against the Purchase Price. Lessee shall pay the real property transfer taxes, if any, the costs of escrow and all recording costs incurred in closing of the Option. On closing of the Option, Lessee shall pay the balance of the Purchase Price to Owner, in cash or by wire transfer to an account designated by Owner.
The Agreement shall extend to and include the un-patented mining claims described in the Agreement and in the exhibits that are part of the Agreement, and all other interests, mining claims and property rights made part of and subject to the Agreement. All un-patented mining claims located by Owner or Lessee which are partially or wholly
3
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
in the Area of Interest shall be located in Owner’s name and shall be part of and subject to the Agreement. “Area of Interest” means the geographic area within two (2) miles from the exterior boundaries of the Property.
To the extent required by law, beginning with the annual assessment work period of September 1, 2004, to September 1, 2005, and for each following annual assessment work year commencing during the term of this Agreement, Lessee shall perform for the benefit of the Property, work of a type customarily deemed applicable as assessment work and of sufficient value to satisfy the annual assessment work requirements of all applicable Federal, state and local laws, regulations and ordinances, if any, and shall prepare evidence of the same in form proper for recordation and filing, and shall timely record and/or file such evidence in the appropriate. The Entourage-Goodsprings Sub-lease Agreement does not proscribe a measurable work commitment other than the annual assessment work described above. As well, the Company is required to make monetary payments only and no Company shares are to be paid as consideration for the Sub-Lease.
All payment required under the Entourage-Goodsprings Agreement have been paid and are current at this filing date. As noted in the table above, a rental payment of $5,000 due in February 2006 has been paid; furthermore, claim maintenance fees, Bureau of Land Management fees and reclamation bonds have been paid and posted and all drilling contractor charges and assay fees have been paid.
The agreement with Goodsprings Development Corp. is described more fully in the Company’s report on Form 6-K dated June 29, 2004 and filed on the SEC’s EDGAR website at
www.sec.gov. A compliant 43-101 technical report on the Black Warrior properties has been completed as of this filing date and was filed on Sedar and Edgar in February 2005.
On April 11, 2005, the Company announced that it has granted to United Carina Resources Corp. and CMKM Diamonds Inc. the right to each acquire a 10% interest in the Property (being a total 20% interest). Each of these two optionees can exercise their option to acquire a 10% interest by:
(a) paying to Entourage $40,000; and
(b) making $85,000 in work commitments on the Property.
To date, neither of the optionees has made a payment or committed any funds to the Property and the options remain unexercised. As CMKM Diamonds Inc. may not now be an operating company, it is not anticipated that they will choose to exercise the option to acquire a 10% interest.
To date the Company has drilled 11 holes on the Black Warrior project. The initial 9 holes did not find anomalous gold or silver showings however the final two holes intersected 30 feet of slightly anomalous gold values ranging up to .435 g/t.
On May??, the Company received confirmation from the vendor (Goodsprings Development Corp.) that negotiations between Entourage and Goodsprings for an easement of the terms of the June 1, 2006, twenty thousand dollar ($20,000 USD) property payment, had been successful and the Board of Directors of Goodsprings had agreed to accept four quarterly five thousand dollar ($5,000 USD) payment commencing June 1, 2006.
1.2(c) Smeaton/Forte a la Corne Property
On October 20, 2005, the Company announced a series of property option (earn-in interest) agreements (the “Saskatchewan Property transactions”)* with CMKM Diamonds Inc., United Carina Resources Corp. and 10104075 Saskatchewan Ltd. (a private company) (“1010”), whereby the Company assumed the earn-in rights to properties optioned to CMKM. CMKM was about to default on its option agreements and Entourage realized an opportunity to acquire prospective diamond and uranium prospects in Saskatchewan. One such property is termed the Smeaton/Forte a la Corne/Green Lake Diamond prospect (the “Smeaton Property”).
The Smeaton Property consisted of a 1.5 million acre parcel of claims. Previous to the Entourage-CMKM agreements, CMKM and 1010 had flown an airborne geophysical survey of the Smeaton Properties. The Company’s geologist, James Turner, P. Geo., reviewed the results of the survey and reported to the Company that 20 priority diamond targets existed on the parcel, but in light of the $12 hectare maintenance fees payable, certain of the claims should be allowed
4
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
to lapse for lack of potential. The present parcel remains at approximately 500 claims (200,000 hectares) but will eventually be whittled down to only those claims that contain mineralized potential. 10104075 Saskatchewan Ltd. is the operator of the Smeaton Property.
