CREAM SUSPENDS KASLO DRILL PROGRAM DUE TO DRILL RELATED PROBLEMS

Cream Minerals Ltd. (CMA-TSX Venture) has suspended the diamond drill program on its Kaslo Silver Property, located near Kaslo in south-eastern British Columbia.  This two hole drill program was designed to test the lateral and down dip extensions of the high grade silver mineralization found within the strongly faulted Silver Bear shear structure.


Diamond drilling was suspended after attempts to drill through the highly mineralized fault zone were unsuccessful.  The initial drill hole was abandoned at 34 metres when the drill proved incapable of coring the shear zone.  A second steeper angled drill hole was successful in intersecting the hanging wall of the mineralized shear structure.  However, the second hole did not penetrate through the entire width of the shear zone and did not intersect the high-grade footwall mineralization.


Although the drill holes did not reach their proposed depth, the width and intensity of the intersected shear structure is very encouraging.  Prior drilling by Cream in 1998 returned values up to 2,271 g/t silver over 0.51 metres within a 3.25 metre interval that assayed 390.05 g/t silver from drill hole 98SB-05.  The highest silver values intersected in the previous drill program were obtained from the strongest part of the shear zone tested during that program.  These step out holes intersected what appears to be broader and more intense shearing that may be related to higher grade silver values.


The company proposes to return to the Silver Bear area of its Kaslo Silver Property and continue the drill program using a reverse circulation drill.

CREAM MINERALS RECEIVES APPROVAL OF
FENIX GOLD - SILVER PROPERTY OPTION


Cream Minerals Ltd. (CMA-TSX-V) ("Cream") is pleased to announce that the TSX Venture Exchange has accepted the previously announced option to purchase agreement (see press release dated October 29, 2004) between Cream's wholly owned Mexican subsidiary, Cream Minerals de Mexico S.A. de C.V. and Juan Pablo Aguilera Barba and Celina Lopez Camarena (the "Optionors"), whereby Cream's subsidiary may acquire a 51% right, title and interest in and to the "Fenix" and "La Fenix 2" gold-silver properties (the "Property"), located in the Province of Nayarit, Mexico.


Pursuant to the terms of the option agreement, the Optionors will vest the 51% right, title and interest in the Property to Cream's subsidiary in exchange for cash payments totalling US$100,000 over a six-month period and the issuance of 200,000 common shares by Cream over a 12 month period.  In addition to the above cash and share payments, the Subsidiary must incur expenditures on the Property totalling US$300,000 within one year following the date of regulatory approval.


Interest in the Fenix property, 60 km southeast of Tepic, Nayarit, arose when Ferdinand Holcapek, P.Eng., the Company's Qualified Person, was invited by a local miner to visit and sample the La Fenix Mine earlier this year.  Upon examination, a grab sample taken by Ferdinand Holcapek located at the old mine entrance was assayed, yielding the following value:


(Grab)   Gold   Silver   Lead   Zinc  
    31.9 g/t   9,280 g/t   3.76%   9.39%  


Reopening of the mine located an adit into a gently sloping hillside where the remnants of a 1.8 meter wide vein was found on one level.  Subsequent sampling taken by Mr. Holcapek revealed a 96 meter long drift averaging as follows:


Width   Gold   Silver  
2.19 metres   11.838 g/t   1,482.51 g/t  


including a 46 meter high-grade section averaging:


Sample   Width   Gold   Silver  
#182691 to 182696 & #182708 to 182709   1.60 m   39.73 g/t   4,783.25 g/t  


Although numerous other showings on the property are being found and sampled, a Company priority is to determine the size of the high-grade zone through an early drilling program.


Once vested with the 51% right, title and interest in and to the Property, the Subsidiary will enter into a joint venture with the Optionors whereby both parties will transfer their respective right, title and interest in and to the Property into a newly formed Mexican corporation which shall be owned 51% by the Subsidiary and 49% by the Optionors.







- 2 -


No common shares will be issued as bonuses, finder's fees or commissions in connection with this transaction.  The common shares issued pursuant to the Agreement have a four-month hold period expiring four months from the date of each issuance.


The Property centres on two historic, high-grade gold-silver mines that are separated by a distance of about 700 metres horizontally and about 25 metres vertically.  The workings appear to be centred on a fault - breccia zone having an average width of 1.80 metres within a 100 metre wide zone of silicification and quartz stockwork.  The wall rock is bedded, silica flooded rhyolitic tuff showing sericite and argillic alteration with some secondary feldspar.  The original workings were accessed by shallow adits.  The Subsidiary proposes to drill below the workings to determine if the mineralization extends to depth.


The Property is under the supervision of Mr. Ferdinand Holcapek, P.Eng.  Mr. Holcapek is the Company's "Qualified Person" for the purpose of National Instrument 43-101, as defined by National Instrument 43-101, Standards of Disclosure of Mineral Projects, Canadian Securities Administrators.

Cash expenditures on exploration in the six months ended September 30, 2004, total $540,407, which compares to $96,183 in the six months ended September 30, 2003.  Exploration expenditures, by property, for the six months ended September 30, 2004 are as follows:  Nuevo Milenio - $372,656, Fenix - $107,634, Kaslo Silver - $6,402, Goldsmith and other properties in British Columbia - $56,981, and $3,036 on the Stephens Lake Property in Manitoba, which is under option to BHP Billiton Diamonds Inc.

INSTRUCTIONS

This report must be filed by Exchange Issuers within 60 days of the end of their first, second and third fiscal quarters and within 140 days of their year end.  "Exchange Issuer" means an issuer whose securities are listed and posted for trading on the Canadian Venture Exchange and are not listed and posted on any other exchange or quoted on a trading or quotation system in Canada.  Three schedules must be attached to this report as follows:

SCHEDULE A:  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles are required as follows:

For the first, second and third financial quarters:

Interim financial statements prepared in accordance with section 1751 of the CICA Handbook, including the following:  balance sheet, income statement, statement of retained earnings, cash flow statement, and notes to the financial statements.

The periods required to be presented, consistent with CICA Handbook section 1751, are as follows:

  • a balance sheet as of the end of the current interim period and a comparative balance sheet as of the end of the immediately preceding fiscal year;

  • a statement of retained earnings cumulatively for the current fiscal year-to-date, with a comparative statement for the comparable year-to-date period of the immediately preceding fiscal year; and

  • income statements and cash flow statements for the current interim period and cumulatively for the current fiscal year-to-date, with comparative statements for the comparable interim periods (current and year-to-date) of the immediately preceding fiscal year.

For the financial year end:

Annual audited financial statements prepared on a comparative basis.

Exchange Issuers with a fiscal year of less than or greater than 12 months should refer to National Policy No. 51 Changes in the Ending Date of a Financial Year and in Reporting Status for guidance.

Issuers in the development stage are directed to the guidance provided in CICA Accounting Guideline AcG-11 Enterprises in the Development Stage that states "enterprises in the development stage are encouraged to disclose in the income statement and in the cash flow statement cumulative balances from the inception of the development stage."

Issuers that have been involved in a reverse take-over should refer to the guidance found in BCIN #52-701 (previously NIN #91/21) with respect to such transactions including the requirement or disclosure of supplementary information regarding the legal parent's prior financial operations.

SCHEDULE B:  SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

The supplementary information set out below must be provided when not included in Schedule A.

1.

Analysis of expenses and deferred costs

Provide a breakdown of amounts presented in the financial statements for the following:  deferred or expensed exploration, expensed research, deferred or expensed development, cost of sales, marketing expenses, general and administrative expenses, and any other material expenses reported in the income statement and any other material deferred costs presented in the balance sheet.

The breakdown should separately present, at a minimum, each component that comprises 20% or more of the total amount for a material classification presented on the face of the financial statements.  All other components of a material classification may be grouped together under the heading "miscellaneous" or "other" in the cost breakdown; the total for "miscellaneous" should not exceed 30% of the total for a material classification.

Breakdowns are required for the year-to-date period only.

Breakdowns are not required for comparative periods.

Issuers in the development stage are reminded that Section 3(9)(b) of the BC Securities Commission's Rules requires a schedule or note to the financial statements containing an analysis of each of exploration, research, development and administration costs, whether expensed or deferred and if the issuer is a natural resource issuer, that analysis for each material property.  Because the analysis required by Rule 3(9)(b) must be included in the financial statements, the information does not have to be repeated in Schedule B.  Consistent with CICA Accounting Guidelines AcG-11, staff considers an issuer to be in the development stage when it is devoting substantially all of its efforts to establishing a new business and planned principal operations have not commenced.  Further, in staff's view, the lack of significant revenues for the past two years normally indicates that an issuer is in the development stage.

2.

Related party transactions

Provide disclosure of all related party transactions as specified in Section 3840 of the CICA Handbook.

3.

Summary of securities issued and options granted during the period

Provide the following information for the year-to-date period:

(b)

summary of options granted during the period, including date, number, name of optionee for those options granted to insiders, generic description of other optionees (e.g. "employees",) exercise price and expiry date.

CREAM MINERALS LTD.

(an exploration stage company)

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the six months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003


The Company's independent auditor has not performed a review of these financial statements.


1.

Going concern and nature of operations


The accompanying financial statements for the interim periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, are prepared on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in Canada and are unaudited, but in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for fair presentation of the financial position, operations and changes in financial results for the interim periods presented.  The financial statements for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.  These financial statements do not contain the detail or footnote disclosure concerning accounting policies and other matters, which would be included in full year financial statements, and therefore should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2004.  


Cream Minerals Ltd. (the "Company") is incorporated in the Province of British Columbia under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), and its principal business activity is the exploration and development of mineral properties.


Without additional external funding to meet existing obligations and to finance further exploration and development work on its mineral properties, there is substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to operate as a going concern.  These financial statements are prepared on a going-concern basis, which implies that the Company will continue realizing its assets and discharging its liabilities in the normal course of business.  Accordingly, they do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities that would be necessary should the Company be unable to achieve profitable mining operations or obtain adequate financing to continue as a going concern.


The Company has working capital as at September 30, 2004, of $428,383.  Although the Company has been successful in raising funds to date, there can be no assurance that additional funding will be available in the future.


Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest, in accordance with industry standards for the current stage of exploration of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee the Company's title.  Property title may be subject to unregistered prior agreements and non-compliance regulatory requirements.


2.

Mineral property interests


Goldsmith property


The Company holds an option to acquire a 100% interest in the Goldsmith property located near Kaslo, British Columbia.  The option agreement calls for the issuance of 200,000 common shares (100,000 issued) and cash payments totalling $110,000 ($20,000 paid) over six years, beginning in April 2003.  The optionors will retain a 2% net smelters return royalty ("NSR") on all metals.  Cream has the right to reduce the NSR to 1.0% by the payment of $1,000,000 to the Optionor at any time up to and including the commencement of commercial production.  The Goldsmith property is comprised of the Goldsmith property and the Lucky Jack claims.


Lucky Jack claims


The Company entered into an option agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the Lucky Jack mineral claims located near Kaslo, British Columbia.  The option agreement calls for the issuance of 200,000 common shares (100,000 issued) and payments totalling $110,000 ($10,000 paid) over 6 years, beginning in April 2003.  The optionor will retain a 2% NSR royalty on all metals.  Cream has the right to reduce the NSR to 1.0% by the payment of $1,000,000 to the Optionor at any time up to and including the commencement of commercial production.

Mineral property interests (continued)


Trout Claim Group


The Company has jointly entered into an agreement (the "Agreement") with 4378831 Manitoba Ltd. (the "Optionor") to option two (2) staked claims namely the Trout and Trout 1 claims located approximately 130 km east of Gillam, Manitoba (the "Trout Claim Group") and encompassing an area of 256 hectares.  The Trout Claim Group is contiguous with and encompassed by the Stephens Lake Claim Group, which is held by the Optionees (namely the Company, Sultan, and ValGold) and is currently under option to BHP Billiton.


Under the terms of the Agreement the Optionees have agreed to make total cash payments of $110,000 ($3,333 paid) and issue 200,001 common shares (66,667 shares in the capital of each of the Optionees) (16,667 common shares issued) to the Optionor over a 36-month period from July 22, 2004.  In addition, the Optionees must also incur exploration expenses and activities of no less than $5,000 by July 22, 2005, $50,000 cumulative prior to the July 22, 2006, and $250,000 cumulative prior to July 22, 2006.  In exchange for the above cash and share payments, and upon completion of the above exploration expenditures and activities, the Optionees will be vested with 75% right, title and interest in and to the Trout Claim Group.  Upon vesting of the 75% interest as set out above, the Optionees and the Optionor shall enter into a 75:25 Joint Venture for the further exploration and development of the Trout Claim Group.  


Fenix and La Fenix 2 Gold-Silver Properties, Mexico


Subsequent to September 30, 2004, the Company, through its wholly owned Mexican subsidiary, Cream Minerals de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. (CMM), entered into an option to purchase agreement with the optionors to acquire a 51% right, title and interest in the "Fenix" and "La Fenix 2" gold-silver properties, located in the State of Nayarit, Mexico.


Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the optionors will vest 51% right, title and interest in the properties to CMM in exchange for cash payments totalling US$100,000 (US$50,000 paid subsequent to September 30, 2004) over a six-month period and issuance of 200,000 common shares (50,000 issued subsequent to September 30, 2004) of the Company to be received over a 12-month period.  In addition to the above cash and share payments, the CMM must incur expenditures on the property totalling US$300,000 within one year following the date of regulatory approval, which was November 2, 2004.


Once vested with the 51% right, title and interest in the property, CMM will enter into a joint venture with the optionors where both parties will transfer their respective right, title and interest in the property into a newly formed Mexican corporation which will be owned 51% by CMM and 49% by the optionors.

Cream Minerals Ltd.

Quarterly Report

September 30, 2004





PROJECT UPDATES

All work in Mexico is under the direct supervision of and reported by Frederick Holcapeck, P. Eng. Director and General Administrator Cream Minerals de Mexico, S.A. de C.V.

Nuevo Milenio Silver Gold Property, Mexico

The 6,928-hectare Nuevo Milenio property is located south east of the city of Tepic in the State of Nayarit, Mexico.  The property covers several overlapping calderas defined by rhyolitic ring dykes and rhyolite domes.  Work to date has been concentrated within the five km diameter, Nuevo Milenio Caldera.  The main targets of interest are the 1.5-kilometre long Dos Hornos quartz vein structure, the 1-km long Once Boca quartz vein-stock work zone and the Cerro Chacuaco zone encompassing Mina Nanche, Mina Perdida, Mina Chacuaco, Arroyo Chacuaco, Chacuaco West and Cafetal.  Other targets not yet explored are Astasis I & II, Pozo San Antonio, Area Domo El Dragon and argillic alteration and silica caps over an area of 2 km by 1 km.  Near La Labor, argillic alteration covers a zone about 1 km long and 200 m wide.  Other known zones are at Area Domo Esperanza and Area Dos Amigos in mineral claim CMM I.

A final report on an Enzyme Leach orientation study completed on its Nuevo Milenio property in Nayarit State, Mexico was received by the Company.  The study was undertaken by Dr. G. H. Gale, P. Eng., Province of Manitoba, to determine if partial leach analytical methods could be used in delineating exploration targets. (See CMA News Releases dated May 5, 2004 and August 6, 2004).  This work was undertaken during the period April 15, 2004 to April 28, 2004.  

Dr. Gale's consulting report may be summarized as follows:  "The orientation study has successfully demonstrated that the rare earth elements, Au, Mo, W, Sb, Pb and Zn, when used together with other suites of elements, can not only discriminate different metal associations, but also can focus exploration into the most prospective parts of the three major mineralized zones on the property.  All previously known precious metal vein and stockwork zones that were tested by the orientation survey are readily identified by their gold responses (See CMA News Releases dated May 5, 2004 and August 6, 2004).  The results of the orientation study also demonstrate that it is possible to discriminate between different mineralization types within these three known zones, including defining 'bonanza type' veins within zones of disseminated and stockwork mineralization."

Dr. G. H. Gale, P.Eng., recommends that the Once Bocas, Cafetal and South Once Bocas areas be more fully investigated with a partial leach survey to establish potential drill targets in these areas of alteration, disseminated mineralization and silica stockworks.  The cost of the recommended work would be in the order of US $150-175,000, exclusive of a follow-up drill program.

Dr. G. H. Gale, P.Eng., is a "Qualified Person" for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101.

Fenix and La Fenix 2 Gold-Silver Properties, Mexico

Subsequent to September 30, 2004, Cream, through its wholly owned Mexican subsidiary, Cream Minerals de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. (CMM), entered into an option to purchase agreement with the optionors to acquire a 51% right, title and interest in the "Fenix" and "La Fenix 2" gold-silver properties, located in the State of Nayarit, Mexico.

Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the optionors will vest 51% right, title and interest in the properties to CMM in exchange for cash payments totalling US$100,000 (US$50,000 paid subsequent to September 30, 2004) over a six-month period and issuance of 200,000 common shares (50,000 issued subsequent to September 30, 2004) of the Company to be received over a 12-month period.  In addition to the above cash and share payments, CMM must incur expenditures on the property totalling US$300,000 within one year following the date of regulatory approval, which was November 2, 2004.

Once vested with the 51% right, title and interest in the property, CMM will enter into a joint venture with the optionors where both parties will transfer their respective right, title and interest in the property into a newly formed Mexican corporation which will be owned 51% by CMM and 49% by the optionors.




Cream Minerals Ltd.

Quarterly Report

September 30, 2004





The property centres on two historic, high-grade gold-silver mines that are separated by a distance of about 700 metres horizontally and about 25 metres vertically.  The workings appear to be centred on a fault - breccia zone having an average width of 1.80 metres within a 100 metre wide zone of silicification and quartz stockwork.  The wall rock is bedded, silica flooded rhyolitic tuff showing sericite and argillic alteration with some secondary feldspar.  The original workings were accessed by shallow adits.  The Subsidiary proposes to drill below the workings to determine if the mineralization extends to depth.


Kaslo Silver Property, British Columbia

In October 2004 Cream commenced a diamond drill program on its 100% owned Kaslo Silver Property, located in southeastern British Columbia.  In November the diamond drill program was terminated due to poor ground conditions.  This two-hole drill program was designed to test the lateral and down dip extensions of the high grade silver mineralization found within the strongly faulted Silver Bear shear structure.


Diamond drilling was suspended after attempts to drill through the highly mineralized fault zone were unsuccessful.  The initial drill hole was abandoned at 34 metres when the drill proved incapable of coring the shear zone.  A second steeper angled drill hole was successful in intersecting the hanging wall of the mineralized shear structure.  However, the second hole did not penetrate through the entire width of the shear zone and did not intersect the high-grade footwall mineralization.


Although the drill holes did not reach their proposed depth, the width and intensity of the intersected shear structure is very encouraging.  Prior drilling by Cream in 1998 returned values up to 2,271 g/t silver over 0.51 metres within a 3.25 metre interval that assayed 390.05 g/t silver from drill hole 98SB-05.  The highest silver values intersected in the previous drill program were obtained from the strongest part of the shear zone tested during that program.  These step-out holes intersected what appears to be broader and more intense shearing that may be related to higher grade silver values.


The Company plans to return to the Silver Bear area of the Kaslo Silver Property and continue the drill program using a reverse circulation drill.


Kootenay Gemstone Property, British Columbia


The Company holds an option to acquire a 100% interest in the Kootenay Gemstone (formerly called Bayonne Aquamarine) Property located in the Nelson Mining Division, British Columbia.  Additional claims adjacent to those originally optioned have been acquired for Cream by staking.

The Kootenay Gemstone Property is located on the west and south sides of Kootenay Lake, in the Nelson Mining Division of southeastern British Columbia.  The northwestern corner of the property is located 30 kilometres east of Salmo and the southeastern corner of the property is 12 km west of Creston.  The claims cover an area of approximately 5,800 hectares.

Recent prospecting and the establishment of detailed grids over new showings in the northern and southern sections of the property have delineated geological and geochemical trends to the favourable gem-bearing occurrences.  

Proposed Exploration Program

The exploration program, which is currently underway on the Kootenay Gemstone Property, consists of prospecting, mapping and specimen collecting.  Specimens will be submitted to an independent gemologist and an appraiser in order to establish the value and marketability of the coloured beryl crystals.

The Company has an option to acquire 100% of the Goldsmith Property which contains numerous historic, small scale, high-grade gold workings (Lucky Jack, Bullock, Swede, Goldsmith, Gold Park, etc) throughout a 3 kilometre long belt of altered volcanic and sedimentary host rocks.  High-grade gold mineralization in the workings is found in numerous quartz veins which range from a few centimetres to 5 metres in width.  Also of interest on the Goldsmith Property are reported historic gold values obtained from the sulphide-altered wall rock between and adjacent to the quartz veins.  

A 2-kilometre long soil geochemical grid has now been established and sampled on the Goldsmith Property located approximately 60 kilometres north of Kaslo, B.C.  Work recently completed by Cream has included mapping and sampling of numerous historic workings where rock grab and chip samples returned very high gold assay values (see News Releases dated August 1, 2004, December 10, 2003 and July 22, 2003).  Soil sampling over the Goldsmith grid will be continuing, with results to follow as available.  


Location and Access

The Goldsmith Property is located west of the small community of Poplar Creek along Highway 31, 66 km north of Kaslo, BC.  The claims are located on mapsheets 082K.035 and 045 in the Slocan Mining Division of southeastern British Columbia.  Cream received encouraging assay results from a preliminary sampling program carried out on the Goldsmith Property in 2003.  Historic documents indicate extraordinarily high gold grades can be obtained from many of the old workings. Cream's initial exploration program consisted of a small rock grab and chip sampling program designed to confirm the presence of the reported extremely high gold values.

Ms. Linda Dandy, P.Geol. of P&L Geological Consultants is the Company's supervisor and "Qualified Person" for the purpose of National Instrument 43-101 for all properties in British Columbia.

Stephens Lake Property, Manitoba

In early 2003, Cream Minerals Ltd. acquired a 30,000-hectare mineral lease in Northern Manitoba adjacent to two similar sized properties acquired by Sultan Minerals Inc. and ValGold Resources Ltd.  Subsequently, these mineral leases were pooled into one block of 92,194 hectares with each company holding a one third interest.  In April 2004, an additional 80,288 hectares was acquired adjoining to the north and now the property totals 170,482 hectares.

In February 2004, the Companies entered into an agreement with BHP Billiton Diamonds Inc. ("BHP") whereby BHP was granted options to acquire up to a 70% undivided interest and fund all exploration expenditures on the property until they are terminated or fully exercised.

In July 2004 Cream jointly entered into an agreement with 4378831 Manitoba Ltd. to option two (2) staked claims namely the Trout and Trout 1 claims located approximately 130 km east of Gillam, Manitoba (the "Trout Claim Group") and encompassing an area of 256 hectares.  The Trout Claim Group is contiguous with and encompassed by the Stephens Lake Claim Group, which is held by the Optionees (namely the Company, Sultan, and ValGold) and currently under option to BHP.

The Stephens Lake Property is 70 kilometres in length and is situated 100 km east of Gillam, Manitoba.  The property is entirely covered by unconsolidated tills, alluvial sediments and a thin veneer of Paleozoic sediments, below which the geology is believed to consist of rocks belonging to the extension of the Thompson Nickel Belt.  The Thompson Nickel Belt is one of the most important nickel producing regions in the world.  Since its discovery in the late 1950's, there has been production from five main deposits over a distance of 200 km, with production plus reserves in excess of 170 million tonnes.  The largest deposit is the Thompson deposit, where production plus reserves are estimated to be in excess of 100 million tonnes at an average grade of 2.4% nickel.

Quarterly Report

September 30, 2004





BHP Billiton Diamonds Inc. ("BHP Billiton") has advised that a diamond drill program is planned for the Stephens Lake nickel property in Manitoba. The drill program is expected to commence in January 2005 and will test four large, airborne geophysical targets on the 170,482-hectare property.  Two additional targets will be drill tested on the adjacent Big Claim Property under option to BHP Billiton from ValGold Resources Ltd.

In March 2004, BHP flew a large airborne magnetics survey over the property to identify ultra-mafic targets within a stratigraphic package believed to be an extension of the Thompson Nickel Belt.  Several bodies of interest were defined during the aeromagnetic survey and were followed up with a VTEM helicopter electromagnetic survey to determine if the targets were possibly conductive nickel-sulphide mineralization.

The VTEM survey defined an extensive, stratigraphic package of linear coincident electromagnetic and magnetic features.  As Ni-Cu-PGE mineralization is usually both magnetic and conductive, targets were selected along these trends where structural complexities and more intense geophysical responses were apparent.

Drilling is expected to commence in mid January 2005 and will involve a minimum of 2,000 metres of diamond drilling.  Startup of the program is dependant upon snow and ice conditions along a winter road that extends east from Gillam Manitoba.

BHP is currently flying magnetic and electromagnetic surveys over the expanded property.  This work is expected to generate targets for diamond drill testing.


MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of Cream Minerals Ltd. ("Cream") for the years ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, and related notes thereto.  Cream's financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.  

Overview

Cream is a mineral exploration company with no producing properties and consequently has no current operating income or cash flow.  All of Cream's short to medium-term operating and exploration cash flow must be derived from external financing.  

Cream's accounting policy is to capitalize all costs relating to the acquisition, exploration and development of its mineral property interests until the property to which they relate is placed into production, sold, allowed to lapse or abandoned.  As at September 30, 2004, Cream has capitalized $2,044,826 (March 31, 2004 - $1,389,607) on the acquisition and exploration of mineral property interests.

Results of Operations


At September 30, 2004, Cream had working capital of $428,383 (March 31, 2004 - $1,053,260), and an accumulated deficit of $14,590,612 (March 31, 2004 - $14,225,549).

Six Months Ended September 30, 2004, ("fiscal 2005") Compared to Six Months Ended September 30, 2003 ("fiscal 2004")

For the six months ended September 30, 2004, Cream incurred a loss of $365,063 or $0.01 per common share, compared to $103,492, or $0.00 per common share for the six months ended September 30, 2003.  Total operating expenses, before interest income, were $369,347 in fiscal 2005 as compared to $103,535 in

fiscal 2004.  Property write-downs of $9,807 in fiscal 2004 relate to the Raven property.  There were no property write-downs in fiscal 2005.

Legal, accounting and audit fees increased from $10,474 in fiscal 2004 to $21,134 in fiscal 2005, primarily due to increased audit fees.  The increased transactions in Mexico required significantly more time during the year-end audit and the increase in fees reflects this time.  New regulatory requirements have also contributed to the increase in fiscal 2005.  Salaries and benefits increased from $30,371 in fiscal 2004 to $207,716 in fiscal 2005 due to the inclusion of $144,921 in stock-based compensation, with no comparative compensation in fiscal 2004.  

Shareholder communications increased from $27,193 in fiscal 2004 to $69,739 in fiscal 2005.  This is primarily due to investor relations' contracts entered into during the second quarter of fiscal 2005.  Details of these contracts are described below.  Listing and filing fees decreased from $7,837 in fiscal 2004 to $3,678 in fiscal 2005.  Transfer agent fees increased from $1,646 in fiscal 2004 to $8,025 in fiscal 2005.  Transfer agent fees have increased and will likely be higher throughout fiscal 2005.  Website, printing, answering investor queries, and other related costs increased from $9,692 in fiscal 2004 to $24,872 in fiscal 2005.  Stock option compensation of $4,063 is included in fiscal 2005 and relates to the vesting of stock options originally granted in the year ended March 31, 2004.  This figure compares to $6,053 worth of stock option compensation recognized in fiscal 2004.  

The Company has investor relation contracts with Renmark Financial Communications Inc. ("Renmark") and Arbutus Enterprises Ltd. "(Arbutus").  During fiscal 2005 cash payments of $17,000 (fiscal 2004 - $8,000) were made to Renmark and $12,000 was paid to Arbutus.  Renmark and Arbutus are at arms length to the Company.  

Travel and conference costs of $9,430 in fiscal 2005 compare to $4,088 in fiscal 2004.  The increase is primarily due to increased travel to conferences.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2004, Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2003

For the three months ended September 30, 2004 (Q2 2005), Cream incurred a loss of $181,152 or $0.01 per common share, compared to $59,711, or $0.00 per common share for the three months ended September 30, 2003 (Q2 2004).  Total operating expenses, before interest income, were $184,863 in Q2 2005 as compared to $59,735 in Q2 2004.  

Legal, accounting and audit fees increased from $6,242 in Q2 2004 to $10,146 in Q2 2005, primarily due to new regulatory requirements and changes.  Audit time was significantly higher in Q2 2005 as the annual audit required more transaction analysis, particularly the increased exploration costs in Mexico.  Salaries and benefits increased from $22,043 in Q2 2004 to $87,250 in Q2 2005 due to the inclusion of $45,288 in stock-based compensation, with no comparative compensation in Q2 2004.  

Shareholder communications increased from $20,099 in Q2 2004 to $34,653 in Q2 2005.  Listing and filing fees decreased from $4,880 in Q2 2004 to $3,678 in Q2 2005.  Transfer agent fees increased from $542 in Q2 2004 to, $6,412 in Q2 2005.  Transfer agent fees have increased and will likely be higher throughout fiscal 2005.  Website, printing, answering investor queries, and other related costs increased from $6,676 in Q2 2004 to $12,293 in Q2 2005.  Stock option compensation expense of $1,270 for vested stock options granted in the year ended March 31, 2004, is included in Q2 2005, compared to $3,027 in Q2 2004.

The Company has investor relation contracts with Renmark and Arbutus Enterprises Ltd. "(Arbutus").  During Q2 2005 cash payments of $5,000 were made to Renmark, compared to $8,000 in Q2 2004, and $6,000 was paid to Arbutus with no comparative expense in Q2 2004.  Renmark and Arbutus are at arms length to the Company.  

Travel and conference costs of $2,852 in Q2 2005 compare to $437 in Q2 2004, due to attendance at more investor conferences.

Investing Activities and Capital Expenditures

During the six months ended September 30, 2004, Cream incurred cash payments of $32,427 on the acquisition and $529,061 on exploration and development costs on the Nuevo Milenio, Kootenay Gemstone, Goldsmith, and Stephens Lake properties.  The Company also issued 100,000 common shares with a deemed value of $70,500, pursuant to its option agreements on the Goldsmith property, and 16,667 common shares with a deemed value of $5,583 for an option payment on the Trout Claim group.

Exploration expenditures on the Nuevo Milenio Property in fiscal 2005 included $134,382 on drilling, $80,161 on geological, $76,843 on site activities, $35,752 on assays and analysis, and $45,518 on travel and accommodation.  Other exploration expenditures in fiscal 2005 include $63,383 on exploration of its British Columbia properties.  This included $7,166 on assays and analysis, $49,309 on geological services and $6,765 on travel and accommodation.  The Company expended $8,917 on acquisition costs, and $3,036 on geological related costs in fiscal 2005 on the Stephens Lake property in Manitoba, including the Trout claims.

Current assets decreased to $522,225 at September 30, 2004, as compared to $1,269,340 at March 31, 2004.  The Company is able to meet its current commitments of $93,842 (March 31, 2004 - $216,080) from current existing cash balances.  

The market value of investments in marketable securities was $40,461 at September 30, 2004, as compared to $58,023 at March 31, 2004, primarily due to the volatility of the marketable securities held.  The book value of these securities is $43,894.  These investments include shares with a book value of $41,796 that are investments in companies with officers and directors in common with the Company.  Cream also holds 100,000 shares of Terra Gaia Inc., a private company, at a cost of $25,000.  

The Company has jointly entered into an agreement (the "Agreement") with 4378831 Manitoba Ltd. (the "Optionor") to option two (2) staked claims namely the Trout and Trout 1 claims located approximately 130 km east of Gillam, Manitoba (the "Trout Claim Group") and encompassing an area of 256 hectares.  The Trout Claim Group is contiguous with and encompassed by the Stephens Lake Claim Group, which is held by the Optionees (namely the Company, Sultan, and ValGold) and is currently under option to BHP Billiton.

Under the terms of the Agreement the Optionees have agreed to make total cash payments of $110,000 and issue 200,001 common shares (66,667 shares in the capital of each of the Optionees) (16,667 issued) to the Optionor over a 36-month period from July 22, 2004.  In addition, the Optionees must also incur exploration expenses and activities of no less than $5,000 by July 22, 2005, $50,000 cumulative prior to the July 22, 2006, and $250,000 cumulative prior to July 22, 2006.  In exchange for the above cash and share payments, and upon completion of the above exploration expenditures and activities, the Optionees will be vested with 75% right, title and interest in and to the Trout Claim Group.  Upon vesting of the 75% interest as set out above, the Optionees and the Optionor shall enter into a 75:25 Joint Venture for the further exploration and development of the Trout Claim Group.  

The Company holds an option to acquire a 100% interest in the Goldsmith property located near Kaslo, British Columbia, which is comprised of the Goldsmith property and the Lucky Jack mineral claims.  The Goldsmith option agreement calls for the issuance of 200,000 common shares (100,000 issued) and cash payments totalling $110,000 ($20,000 paid) over six years.  

The Lucky Jack option agreement calls for the issuance of 200,000 common shares (100,000 issued) and payments totalling $110,000 ($10,000 paid) over six years.  

Financing Activities

In fiscal 2005, 635,001 share purchase warrants were exercised and 129,000 stock options were exercised to acquire 764,001 common shares, providing $186,250 to the treasury.

Of Cream's issued and outstanding shares, no shares were held in escrow at September 30, 2004 or 2003.  




Cream Minerals Ltd.

Quarterly Report

September 30, 2004





Financial Constraints

All of Cream's short to medium-term operating and exploration cash flow must be derived from external financing.  As discussed below, Cream will continue to have to rely on financing to carry on its proposed exploration programs for fiscal 2005.  In the event that market conditions prevent Cream from receiving external financing, Cream will be forced to review its property holdings and prioritize its project exploration to fit within cash availability.  Cream's primary exploration focus is currently on the Nuevo Milenio property in Mexico and the Goldsmith and Kootenay Gemstone properties in British Columbia.  

With respect to its Kaslo Silver property, Cream has planned a $3 million exploration program that would include geological mapping, expanded geophysical surveys, gravity surveys, additional soil sampling and 12,100 meters of diamond drilling and bulk sampling over existing zones and new targets, on the Black Bear, Black Fox and Ben Hur areas of the property.  This program is contingent on obtaining additional financing.  

During the year ended March 31, 2001, Cream acquired three mining lots in the State of Nayarit, Mexico, by denouncement (the Nuevo Milenio property).  In Mexico, tax payments are due in January and July of each year for all mineral property concessions.  These payments escalate and are indexed for all exploration permits.  To date, Cream has made all required tax payments, including the payment made in July 2004.  The Company completed a drilling and exploration program in May 2004.  Exploration results are detailed in the mineral property section of this quarterly report.  Exploration programs on the Company's mineral property interests are contingent on satisfactory exploration results and the ability of the Company to obtain financing, as the Company has no other source of revenue.

Long-Term Debt and Other Commitments

Cream has no long-term debt.  Cream has several mineral property interests under option, where cash and share payments are required to be made pursuant to the terms of the option agreements.  The Company must make cash payments of $40,000 and issue 200,000 common shares in fiscal 2005 to maintain the mineral property interests held at March 31, 2004, in good standing.  During the six months ended September 30, 2004, cash payments of $20,000 have been made and 116,667 common shares have been issued pursuant to the various option agreements.  

The Company's ability to continue in operation has generally been dependent on the continuing support of its creditors, funding from related parties, and the Company's ability to secure additional financing.  While it has been successful in securing additional financing in the past, there can be no assurance that it will be able to do so in the future.  Accordingly, its financial statements do not reflect adjustments to the carrying value of assets and liabilities and balance sheet classifications that would be necessary if going concern assumptions were not appropriate.  Some adjustments could be material, and as the Company is dependent on external sources of financing, there may be significant doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern in future periods.

Uncertainties and Risk Factors

The uncertainties and risks affecting Cream's activities are discussed in the Annual MD&A.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company continues to follow the accounting policies described in the audited financial statement for the year ended March 31, 2004, that were mailed to shareholders in August of 2004.
