Nature and continuance of operations

Midway Gold Corp. (the “Company” or “Midway”) was incorporated on May 14, 1996 under the laws of the Province of British Columbia and its principal business activities are the sourcing, exploration and development of mineral properties.

The Company has not generated revenues from operations. These consolidated financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business in the foreseeable future. Management believes that the Company’s cash on hand at March 31, 2011 is sufficient to finance exploration activities and operations through the next twelve months. Additionally, as of April 21, 2011 (note 14), the Company is authorized by the Canadian Securities Exchanges and the Securities Exchange Commission to offer up to US$60,000,000 of the Company’s common shares. The Company’s ability to continue on a going concern basis beyond the next twelve months depends on its ability to successfully raise additional financing for the substantial capital expenditures required to achieve planned principal operations. While the Company has been successful in the past in obtaining financing, there is no assurance that it will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or that such financing will be on terms acceptable to the Company.

These financial statements do not reflect adjustments that would be necessary if the going concern assumption were not appropriate.

Significant accounting policies and change in accounting policy

These consolidated interim financial statements for the Company have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”). They do not include all of the information and disclosures required by US GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation have been included in these financial statements. The interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements including the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2010 which may be found on the Company’s profile on SEDAR and EDGAR.

The accounting policies followed by the Company are set out in note 2 to the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 and have been consistently followed in the preparation of these consolidated interim financial statements, except as follows:

Recently adopted accounting policies

On April 16, 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update ASU 2010-13 Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718: Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency of the Market in which the Underlying Equity Security Trades. This ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2010. This ASU added to or amends sections of Accounting Codification Standards (“ACS”) Topic 718. These amendments and additions impact the accounting treatment as follows:

A share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which a substantial portion of the entity’s equity securities trades shall not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition and, therefore shall not be classified as a liability if it otherwise qualifies for equity classification.

If an award is indexed to a factor in addition the entity’s share price. If that factor is not a market, performance, or service condition (e.g., indexed to the market price of a commodity such as gold), the award shall be classified as a liability.

In accordance with ACS Topic 718, as amended, at March 31, 2011 the fair value of the Company’s share-based compensation is considered a component of equity. Adopting this ASU had no impact on the Company.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value measurement establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

The valuation of investments in marketable securities include available for sale securities. The Company’s Level 1 assets include common shares available for sale with no trading restrictions as determined using a market approach based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets in an active market. Level 1 assets also include warrants that are considered derivatives and are marked to market each reporting period based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets in active markets. The Company’s Level 2 assets include common shares with trading restrictions that will be removed within one year of the financial period reporting date as determined using a market approach and based upon quoted prices for identical assets in an active market adjusted by a discount to market comparable to the discount allowed by the TSX Venture Exchange for private placements. The Company’s Level 3 assets include warrants with trading restrictions that will be removed within one year of the financial reporting date as determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model and a discount to market comparable to the discount allowed by the TSX Venture Exchange for private placements.

The determination of fair value for financial reporting purposes is at March 31, 2011 utilizing the applicable framework is as follows:


Financial Instrument	Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets	Significant other observable inputs	Significant unobservable inputs	Total at March 31, 2011
	Level 1	Level 2	Level 3
Available-for-sale securities	$ 100,000	$ -	$ -	$ 100,000
Derivatives	-	30,353		30,353
Total	$ 100,000	$ 30,353	$ -	$ 130,353

Financial instruments measured at fair value as at December 31, 2010 were as follows:


Financial Instrument	Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets	Significant other observable inputs	Significant unobservable inputs	Total 2010
	Level 1	Level 2	Level 3
Available-for-sale securities	$ -	$ 56,250	$ -	$ 56,250

Total	$ -	$ 56,250	$ 24,437	$ 80,687

Investments

As consideration of certain area of interest obligations of NV Gold Corporation (“NVX”) that apply to the Roberts Gold project, the Company was issued 250,000 common shares of NVX and 250,000 common share purchase warrants (the “NVX Warrants”) on October 26, 2010. The NVX Warrants entitle the Company to purchase one common share of NVX at an exercise price of $0.40 until October 26, 2012. If the volume weighted average price of the common shares of NVX exceed $0.60 for twenty consecutive trading days, NVX may notify the Company in writing that the NVX Warrants will expire 15 trading days from receipt of such notice unless exercised by the Company before such date. The common shares and the common shares issued pursuant to the exercise of any NVX Warrants were restricted from trading until February 27, 2011. Accordingly the NVX common shares were categorized as Level 2 and a discount of 25% was applied to the quoted market value on the date of receipt and on December 31, 2010. Subsequent to February 27, 2011, the date trading restrictions were removed, the NVX common shares were reclassified to Level 1 and the 25% discount was not applied to the March 31, 2011 fair value.

The NVX Warrants are considered derivatives. At December 31, 2010 they were categorized as Level 3 and were fair valued using the Black-Scholes valuation model and a discount of 25% applied to their fair value on the date of receipt and on December 31, 2010. The following assumptions were used on the date of receipt: expected life of 2 years; volatility of 100%; no dividend yield; and a risk free interest rate of 1.42%. The NVX Warrants will be revalued each reporting period with gains or losses recorded in the Statement of Operations. The following assumptions were used on December 31, 2010: expected life of 1.8 years; volatility of 100%; no dividend yield; and a risk free interest rate of 1.66%. With the trading restriction expiration on February 27, 2011 the warrants were reclassified from Level 3 to Level 2. The following Black-Scholes valuation assumptions were used on March 31, 2011: expected life of 1.56 years; volatility of 101%; no dividend yield; and a risk free interest rate of 1.72%.


	March 31, 2011
	Number of shares or warrants		Cost	Accumulated unrealized gains (losses)	Fair Value
Available for sale - common shares	250,000	$ 43,125		$ 56,875	$ 100,000

Total investments		$ 60,120		$ 70,233	$ 130,353

During the three month period ended March 31, 2011 the Company recorded an unrealized gain on the common shares of NVX of $43,750 in accumulated other comprehensive income and an unrealized gain on the NVX Warrants of $5,916 in the Statement of Operations for the difference in the fair value at March 31, 2011 as compared to December 31, 2010.

Stock options

The Company has an incentive share option plan (the “Plan”) that allows it to grant incentive stock options to its officers, directors, employees and consultants. The Plan was amended on May 12, 2008 to add an appendix called the 2008 Stock Incentive Plan for United States Resident Employees (the “U.S. Plan”) to supplement and be a part of the Plan. The purpose of the U.S. Plan is to enable the Company to grant Incentive Stock Options, as that term is used in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time, and any regulations promulgated thereunder to qualifying employees who are citizens or residents of the United States of America. This does not change the aggregate number of options that can be granted pursuant to the Plan.

The purpose of the Plan permits the Company’s directors to grant incentive stock options for the purchase of shares of the Company to persons in consideration for services. Stock options must be non-transferable and the aggregate number of shares that may be reserved for issuance pursuant to stock options may not exceed 10% of the issued shares of the Company at the time of granting and may not exceed 5% to any individual (maximum of 2% to any consultant). The exercise price of stock options is determined by the board of directors of the Company at the time of grant and may not be less than the closing price of the Company’s shares on the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the option is granted and publicly announced, less an applicable discount, and may not otherwise be less than $0.10 per share. Options have a maximum term of ten years and terminate 90 days following the termination of the optionee’s employment, except in the case of death or disability, in which case they terminate one year after the event.

The continuity of stock options is as follows:

Contingency

On January 27, 2011 the Company was delivered a summons that it is being sued in the state of Nevada by Redcor

Drilling, Inc. (“Redcor”) for non-payment of the balance of a drilling invoice that is under dispute by the Company. Redcor is demanding the Company pay US$241,477.24 together with interest at the rate of 4% per annum from September 18, 2010. On March 10, 2011, the Company responded to the summons and intends to continue to protest payment of the amount demanded on the basis of non-performance of services. The Company has recorded the full amount as an accrued liability without accruing interest as the amount of the liability can be estimated and it is likely the Company may be required to pay some portion of the disputed amount.

Redcor placed a mechanic’s lien on a portion of the Pan project that the Company leases from Newark Valley Mining Corp. Subsequently, the Company posted a surety bond for the disputed amount, thereby releasing the mechanic’s lien.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report filed on Form 10-Q. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth under the heading “Risk Factors and Uncertainties” in our Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 17, 2011, and elsewhere in this report.

This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related notes. The discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations are based upon the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires Midway to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of any contingent liabilities at the financial statement date and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis Midway reviews its estimates and assumptions. The estimates were based on historical experience and other assumptions that Midway believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results are likely to differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions, but Midway does not believe such differences will materially affect our financial position or results of operations. Critical accounting policies, the policies Midway believes are most important to the presentation of its financial statements and require the most difficult, subjective and complex judgments, are outlined below in “Critical Accounting Policies,” and have not changed significantly.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

In addition, certain statements made in this report may constitute “forward-looking statements”. These forward-looking statements involve known or unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance, or achievements of Midway to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Except for historical information, the matters set forth herein, which are forward-looking statements, involve certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ. Potential risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, unexpected changes in business and economic conditions; significant increases or decreases in gold prices; changes in interest and currency exchange rates; unanticipated grade changes; metallurgy, processing, access, availability of materials, equipment, supplies and water; determination of reserves; results of current and future exploration activities; results of pending and future feasibility studies; joint venture relationships; political or economic instability, either globally or in the countries in which we operate; local and community impacts and issues; timing of receipt of government approvals; accidents and labor disputes; environmental costs and risks; competitive factors, including competition for property acquisitions; and availability of external financing at reasonable rates or at all. Forward- looking statements can be identified by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continues” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology.

Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors Regarding Reserve and Resource Estimates

The mineral estimates in this Form 10-Q have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the securities laws in effect in Canada, which differ from the requirements of United States securities laws. The terms “mineral reserve”, “proven mineral reserve” and “probable mineral reserve” are Canadian mining terms as defined in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the “CIM”) - CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council, as amended. These definitions differ from the definitions in United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Industry Guide 7 under the United States Securities Act of 1993, as amended. Under SEC Industry Guide 7 standards, a “final” or “bankable” feasibility study is required to report reserves, the three-year historical average price is used in any reserve or cash flow analysis to designate reserves and the primary environmental analysis or report must be filed with the appropriate governmental authority.

In addition, the terms “mineral resource”, “measured mineral resource”, “indicated mineral resource” and “inferred mineral resource” are defined in and required to be disclosed by NI 43-101; however, these terms are not defined terms under SEC Industry Guide 7 and are normally not permitted to be used in reports and registration statements filed with the SEC. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into reserves. “Inferred mineral resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, except in rare cases.

Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource exists or is economically or legally mineable. Disclosure of “contained ounces” in a resource is permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations; however, the SEC normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute “reserves” by SEC Industry Guide 7 standards as in place tonnage and grade without reference to unit measures.

Accordingly, information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the documents incorporated by reference herein contain descriptions of our mineral deposits that may not be comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements under the United States federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

Overview

Company Overview

Midway is an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition, exploration, and, if warranted, development of gold and silver mineral properties in North America. Our mineral properties are located in Nevada and Washington. The Midway, Spring Valley, Pan, Gold Rock, and Golden Eagle gold properties are exploratory stage projects and have identified gold mineralization and the Thunder Mountain and Burnt Canyon projects are earlier stage gold and silver exploration projects.

Business Strategy and Development

The Company is currently working towards transitioning itself from an exploration company to a gold production company with plans to advance the Pan gold deposit located in White Pine County, Nevada through to production by as early as 2013.

The map below shows the location of Midway’s properties located in Nevada, USA.

Highlights for the first quarter 2011 and up to May 10, 2011:

Spring Valley project - fourth quarter 2010 drilling results were received from Barrick and a new resource estimate was received

Pan project - a positive Prefeasibility Study was completed, an agreement for water rights was executed, and a reverse circulation drilling program commenced

Midway project - a cooperative agreement with the Town of Tonopah was signed, an initial underground mineable resource estimate was completed, and a core drilling program commenced

Gold Rock project - a technical report reviewing historic data was completed in advance of a planned 2011 work program

Activities on Midway’s properties in the first quarter ended March 31, 2011 and up to May 10, 2011 the date of this Quarterly Report filed on Form 10-Q, are described in further detail below.

Spring Valley Project, Pershing County, Nevada

Barrick conducted and funded exploration in 2010 on the Spring Valley project to meet its minimum expenditure requirement of US$5,000,000. Barrick has the exclusive right to earn a 60% interest in the Spring Valley project by spending US$30,000,000 on the property over five years. Barrick may increase its interest by 10% (70% total) by spending an additional US$8,000,000 in the year immediately after vesting at 60%. At the Company’s election, Barrick may also earn an additional 5% (75% total) by carrying the Company to a production decision and arranging financing for the Company’s share of mine construction expenses with the carrying and financing costs plus interest to be recouped by Barrick once production has been established.

Barrick forwarded results from fourth quarter 2010 drilling. The Company reported these results, including an extension of the mineralized strike length by about 1.8 km to the south-southwest of the previously known gold resource. A step out drill hole intersected strong, relatively shallow Spring Valley-type mineralization in similar structures and host rocks as seen in the existing gold resource. The drill hole is south of property acquired in December of 2010 and is believed to indicate very strong exploration potential for the new, untested parcels.

Barrick has informed Midway that it intends to conduct and fund the minimum required program of US$7,000,000 in 2011 for a cumulative amount of US$16,000,000 by December 31, 2011. Drilling in 2011 is expected to focus on expanding the resource and evaluating satellite targets, particularly within the recently acquired land south of the existing resource.

The Company engaged an independent engineer, Gustavson Associates, LLC of Lakewood, Colorado to review the drilling results and provide a new resource update that incorporated all Barrick drilling to date, resulting in the conversion of 2.16 million ounces of gold to the Measured and Indicated categories, consisting of 0.93 million ounces in the Measured category and 1.23 million ounces in the Indicated category at a cut-off grade of 0.14 grams per tonne (g/t). The new drilling also produced an additional Inferred resource of 1.97 million ounces of gold at the same cut-off grade. The Measured resource is contained within 59.0 million tonnes grading 0.49 g/t, the Indicated resource is contained within 85.8 million tonnes grading 0.45 g/t and the Inferred resource is contained within 103.9 million tonnes grading 0.59 g/t.

Measured and Indicated resources are estimated pursuant to Canadian industry standards. See “Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors Regarding Reserve and Resource Estimates” above. The Spring Valley project is without known reserves, as defined under SEC Guide 7, and the proposed program for the property is exploratory in nature.

Barrick is funding the majority of the ongoing costs of this project. In the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company incurred $27,515 primarily to fund engineering and legal costs incurred on the portion of the Seymork land that falls outside of the Barrick agreement area of interest.

Pan Project, White Pine County, Nevada

The Pan property is located at the northern end of the Pancake mountain range in western White Pine County, Nevada, approximately 22 miles southeast of Eureka, Nevada, and 50 miles west of Ely, Nevada. The Pan deposit is a Carlin-style, disseminated gold deposit, located along the Battle Mountain-Eureka Trend.

Mine planning and engineering design were on-going through the first quarter. Initial results were reported as part of a positive Prefeasibility Study and additional work is underway for a Feasibility Study scheduled for completion in the first half of 2011. Environmental studies are continuing in support of permitting including a plan of operations and reclamation plan to be submitted to management agencies.

The Company executed a lease agreement for water rights needed to develop the project, which provides for a 10 year primary term, extendable by 15 years, and annual payments at a rate of the water used. The Company estimates that, at anticipated production levels, the cost of water under the lease will be approximately US$1.00 per ounce of gold produced. The Company will be able to use water for exploration and other project related purposes prior to commencing production.

The Company commenced a 6,500 meter reverse circulation (RC) drilling program in the first quarter. A 600 meter diamond core program will be added later. The Pan deposit is still open to the North, the South and at depth and this 2011 drilling is designed to expand the resource by following up on 2010 drilling that identified higher gold grades and a possible new gold zone. Drilling will also test for mineralization beneath proposed mine facility sites.

On April 4, 2011, the Company reported the results of a Prefeasibility Study for the Pan project, prepared by Gustavson Associates. The Prefeasibility Study demonstrated positive economic results and technical favorability of the Pan project and included a new resource estimate. Highlights of the study are included below.

* Proven and probable reserves are estimated pursuant to Canadian industry standards. See “Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors Regarding Reserve and Resource Estimates” above.

Mineral Reserves and Resources

The open pit mineral reserves and resources were completed by Gustavson, with Ms. Terre A. Lane and Mr. Donald E. Hulse acting as the Qualified Persons (QP). The Prefeasibility Study demonstrates the project is economically viable therefore the Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources within the designed pits are considered Proven and Probable Reserves. Only the two main ore bodies (North Pan and South Pan) are included in the mine design. A 0.008 oz/ton cutoff grade resulted in the highest NPV for the project and is the selected Base Case. Mineral Reserves were based upon a design pit using Lerchs Grossmann generated pit surfaces that maximize revenue based on a $1,050 per ounce three-year trailing average price of gold.

The resource estimation includes all data collected through February 28, 2011, including 15 core holes drilled in 2010 by Midway as well as new lithology and alteration models for breccia controlled mineralization. Ordinary Kriging was used to estimate gold grades in a block model with blocks 20 feet wide, 20 feet long and 20 feet high. Measured and Indicated resource estimates are limited to drill intervals with fire assay results. Inferred resource estimates include all available assay data.

The mineral resources and reserves are summarized below. Mineral resources are inclusive of mineral reserves.

Expansion Potential

Additional mineralization not included in the Prefeasibility Study includes Inferred resources in the $1,050 pit, open mineralization at depth and along strike at North and South Pan. Mineralization at North Pan has not been closed off at depth, particularly along the Pilot Shale-Devil’s Gate Limestone contact, or to the north where it trends under Tertiary volcanic rocks. At the South Pan deposit, mineralization is open to the east and to the south where the deposit also trends under Tertiary volcanic rocks.

Mining and Production

Midway plans to use conventional open pit mining methods, using front end loaders and in-pit crush and convey with mobile jaw crushers and mobile conveyors conveying waste to the waste dump. The majority of the material from the mine will be drilled and blasted prior to loading. The initial mining fleet consists of two loaders, two jaw crushers, and two 100-ton trucks, with various support equipment. The mine plan produces 6.1 million tons of ore per year for delivery to the heap leach (17,000 tpd). Peak ore and waste production is estimated to be 52,000 tpd. The pit design is based on inter-ramp slope angles of 50 degrees for South Pan, 45 degrees for North Pan. The face slope angles are 70 degrees for South Pan and 63 degrees for North Pan.

Metallurgy and Processing

Material from the North and South Pan pits will be processed using conventional heap leaching methods. Ore from both pits will be crushed by the primary in-pit mobile jaw crusher and secondary and tertiary cone crushers to a nominal 0.5 inches prior to leaching. The fines will be agglomerated. Crush size and leach kinetics are based on current metallurgical testing. Additional testing for optimization is underway.

Barren solution will be distributed on the leach pad with drip tube emitters. Pregnant solution and storm water storage ponds are integral to the leach pad system. Pregnant solutions will be treated in an adsorption/desorption refining (ADR) plant using conventional unit processes.

The Prefeasibility Study was prepared to the standards of National Instrument 43-101 and was filed on SEDAR on April 4, 2011. The Prefeasibility Study was prepared under the supervision of William J. Crowl, Vice President of Mining, Donald E. Hulse, Principal Mining Engineer, Terre A. Lane, Principal Mining Engineer and Donald J. Baker, Associate Principal Geologist of Gustavson, and Deepak Malhotra, President of Resource Development, Inc., each of whom are independent of the Company and are qualified persons.

The Company incurred $1,104,700 of expenditures at the Pan project in the three months ended March 31, 2011 of which, 37% was the cost of engineering, environmental, geochemical and geological work for the prefeasibility study and advancing work toward the feasibility study, 25% on the ongoing drill program and the balance on advancing study and permitting activities.

Midway Project, Nye County, Nevada

The Midway property is located in Nye County, Nevada, approximately 15 miles northeast of the town of Tonopah, 210 miles northwest of Las Vegas and 236 miles southeast of Reno. The property is over the northeastern flank of the San Antonio Mountains and in the Ralston Valley. Water is readily available from water wells drilled on the property under a temporary grant of water rights and power is accessible as a power line crosses the property.

An initial resource estimate was completed during the quarter on select veins of the Discovery and Dauntless zones that could possibly be developed using underground mining methods. Additional engineering studies are underway to support further underground mine analyses and to guide future work programs. A core drilling program is underway to provide additional geological information and to confirm past RC drill results. An agreement was executed with the Town of Tonopah providing a framework for cooperation during development of the Midway project.

A NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate was completed by Gustavson Associates, LLC to evaluate a limited number of vein-like structures primarily in the Discovery Zone. Mineralization was modeled using Indicator Kriging to analyze zones of potential high grade mineralization. This indicator model was calibrated by comparison with veins modeled on cross sections, and appears to have identified higher grade areas with continuous gold mineralization that could possibly be mined by underground methods.

The resource was prepared to the standards of National Instrument 43-101 and was filed on SEDAR on April 1, 2011. The report was prepared under the supervision of William J. Crowl, Vice President of Mining, Donald E. Hulse, Principal Mining Engineer, Terre A. Lane, Principal Mining Engineer and Donald J. Baker, Associate Principal Geologist of Gustavson, each of whom are independent of the Company and are qualified persons.

The Company incurred $85,834 of expenditures at the Midway project in the three months ended March 31, 2011 of which 49% was the cost of engineering studies and the balance on work to support the discussions for the water rights.

Gold Rock Project, White Pine County, Nevada

The Gold Rock property is situated in the eastern Pancake Range in western White Pine County, Nevada. The property is 8 miles southeast of the Company’s Pan project. Access is via the Green Springs road from US Highway 50 approximately 65 miles from Ely, Nevada. Water is readily available from wells in the region. Power will likely be available by extending power lines from the Pan property.

A technical report was completed in the first quarter by Gustavson Associates, LLC to review geological and historical drill data prior to a planned 2011 drilling program. Historic drill results include 673 drill holes within and surrounding the Easy Junior open pit mine. Review of select drill data confirmed that assays in the database are consistent with original assay certificates. These drill results suggest there could be significant unmined gold mineralization along strike of Easy Junior that may represent a bulk tonnage epithermal gold target.

Gustavson reviewed a historic resource estimate that was completed in 1988 prior to mining by International Mining Consultants of Tucson, Arizona (“IMC”) (see table below). During operations, the mine reportedly produced approximately 52,400 ounces of gold. A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current mineral resources; Midway is not treating the historical estimate as a current mineral resource and the historical estimate should not be relied upon.

Gustavson’s evaluation confirms that Gold Rock contains a gold system that warrants additional exploration and evaluation. The mineralizing system is strong, with a known strike length of over 8,000 feet. The lithology, alteration, and mineralization are similar to other sediment hosted Carlin-type systems such as Alligator Ridge, Bald Mountain, Rain, and Midway’s Pan Project, 8 miles to the northwest. Only a portion of the system has been explored and mined, and drilling outside of the Easy Junior pit area is widely spaced and shallow. The Gold Rock system has structural controls that have not been explored at depth. Previous exploration has not closed off mineralization in any direction.

Gustavson’s evaluation was prepared to the standards of National Instrument 43-101 and was filed on SEDAR on March 30, 2011. The report was prepared under the supervision of William J. Crowl, Vice President of Mining, Donald E. Hulse, Principal Mining Engineer, Terre A. Lane, Principal Mining Engineer and Donald J. Baker, Associate Principal Geologist of Gustavson, each of whom are independent of the Company and are qualified persons.

The Company incurred $34,828 expenditures at the Gold Rock project in the three months ended March 31, 2011 of which 35% was the cost of engineering studies and the balance on geological programs.

Burnt Canyon Project, Pershing County, Nevada

Burnt Canyon is a volcanic hosted epithermal system with gold identified in numerous rock and soil samples. The project lies between high grade veins in the Seven Troughs district to the south and the Wildcat disseminated gold deposit to the north in Pershing County, Nevada.

The Company did not conduct any work on the Burnt Canyon project in the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Thunder Mountain Project, Nye County, Nevada

Thunder Mountain is a gold and silver rich epithermal vein and disseminated gold system hosted in rhyolite tuffs and flow dome complexes located six miles southeast of the Midway project in Nye County, Nevada.

The Company did not conduct any work on the Thunder Mountain project in the three months ended March 31, 2011.

The Company incurred $191 expenditures at the Thunder Mountain project in the three months ended March 31, 2011 all of which were for labor costs

Golden Eagle Project, Ferry County, Washington

The Golden Eagle property is located on private land in the Eureka (Republic) mining district in Ferry County,

Washington. The property is two miles northwest of the town of Republic, Washington and is accessed by the Knob Hill county road.

The Company has commissioned a preliminary economic assessment to evaluate the economics of different mining options at Golden Eagle using current gold prices. Engineering studies were initiated in the first quarter and will include evaluations of methods for processing sulfide mineralization and issues related to permitting.

The Company incurred $118,776 of expenditures at the Golden Eagle project in the three months ended March 31, 2011, primarily for engineering studies.

Results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010

The net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $2,714,283 (2010 - $392,220).

Significant differences between the periods are as follows:

Consulting totaled $43,687 (2010 - $22,500) an increase of $21,187 over the comparative period. Management engaged a consultant to assist the Company on legislative/political issues related to mining in the state of Nevada.

Investor relations and travel totalled $100,861 (2010 - $82,941) an increase of $17,920 over the comparative period. Midway has focused its investor relations efforts on increasing the market’s awareness of Midway by travelling to meet potential investors and by attendance at selected industry investor shows. Of the increase, $10,712 was due to increased investor relations related travel and $5,516 in investor relations related consulting and other fees.

Exploration expenses were $1,385,222 (2010 - $148,476). The details of the expenses in each period may be found in the schedule to the unaudited consolidated interim financial statements. Exploration levels are determined by the success of previous exploration programs on each project and cash available to fund additional programs. Exploration salaries and labor include the non-cash estimated fair value of stock based compensation for stock options granted to technical employees in the period of $24,191 (2010 - $11,405). Management fees earned from Barrick for the Spring Valley project were $3,717 (2010 - $4,520).

Office and administration expenses in the current period were $62,884 (2010 - $42,645) an increase of $20,239 over the comparative period. This increase is the result of an increase in staff sizes at both the Englewood, Colorado and Ely, Nevada locations. In the comparative period in 2010 the corporate office was located in Helena, Montana.

Transfer agent and filing fees in the current period was $60,861 (2010- $34,851) an increase of $26,101 over the comparative period. $8,682 of the increase related to increased fees paid to Computershare as a result of the large volume of share warrant exercises in the current period. $18,073 additional costs were incurred for regulatory and filing fees.

Director’s fees, salaries and benefits were $804,384 inclusive of $504,766 of non-cash stock based compensation. The majority of the fair value of the January 13, 2011 options grant was included as stock based compensation in the salaries and benefits for the three months ended March 31, 2011. In the comparative period $233,142 included a $376 credit of non-cash stock based compensation due to a stock option forfeiture.

The foreign exchange gain in the current period was $49,595 compared to a gain in the comparative period of $260,847. There was an unrealized gain of $147,942 for the current period. $271,449 was unrealized in the comparative period. The unrealized foreign exchange relates to restatement of the US dollar denominated future income tax liability.

A loss on the change in fair value of warrant liability of $592,026 was recognized in the current period. There was no comparable amount for the three month period ended March 31, 2010. This liability is described in notes 8 and 13. These warrants were either exercised or they expired in the current period and there was no warrant liability at March 31, 2011.

Notes and Factors Affecting Comparability of Quarters:

(1)

The Company is a mineral exploration company at the development stage and has no operating revenues. Exploration costs fluctuate between periods depending on results of each successive phase on each project and the Company’s ability to fund exploration and development activities.

(2)

Stock based compensation costs are a non-cash expense and represent an estimate of the fair value of stock options granted. These expenses are often the largest item included in the Statement of Operations and they represent a significant source of variation in loss from quarter to quarter. Stock based compensation is allocated between salaries and benefits and mineral exploration expenditures.

(3)

Costs for the June 30 quarter tend to be higher due to printing and mailing of shareholder material for the Company’s annual general meeting and costs of conducting this meeting.

(4)

Costs for the December 31 quarter also tend to be higher due to accruals for the annual audit. Administratively, management tends to critically review all exploration projects in detail at this time of year and makes decisions about which projects it wishes to continue and which projects it will abandon.

Financial Condition and Liquidity

The Company began the 2011 year with cash and cash equivalents of $6,062,816. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company expended $2,214,251 on operations, invested a total of $646,407 in mineral properties and equipment and received $4,310,825 from warrant exercises to end at March 31, 2011 with cash and cash equivalents of $7,512,983.

The Company has not generated revenues from operations. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of its assets and the settlement of its liabilities in the normal course of operations. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, confirmation of the Company’s interests in the underlying properties, the attainment of profitable operations and/or realizing proceeds from the sale of one or more of the properties. As at March 31, 2011, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $64,808,858 and working capital of $7,143,168 which management believes is sufficient to fund ordinary operations through the next twelve months, however the Company intends to raise additional equity funds as the opportunity presents itself.

There was a severe deterioration in global credit and equity markets in 2007 through 2009. This resulted in the need for government intervention in major banks, financial institutions and insurers and also resulted in greater volatility, increased credit losses and tighter credit conditions. These disruptions in the credit and financial markets have had a significant material adverse impact on a number of financial institutions and have limited access to capital and credit for many companies. While market conditions have generally improved through 2010 and into 2011, access to capital and credit remains limited compared to capital markets before the deterioration in 2007. Continued disruptions could, among other things, make it more difficult for us to obtain, or increase our cost of obtaining, capital and financing for our operations. Our access to additional capital and financing may not be available on terms acceptable to us or at all.

On April 21, 2011, the Canadian Securities Commissions accepted the Company’s Short Form Prospectus, which along with the Company’s S-3 Shelf Registration Statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, declared effective by the SEC on February 14, 2011 (jointly the “2011 Prospectus”), allows the Company to offer and sell, from time to time over a twenty-five month period, up to US$60,000,000 of the Company’s common shares, without par value, with or without warrants to purchase common shares, or any combination thereof in one or more transactions under the 2011 Prospectus. The Company may also offer under this 2011 Prospectus any common shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants.

As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there are 7,200,000 stock options outstanding at prices ranging from $0.56 to $3.36 and 4,953,256 share purchase warrants at a price of $0.80. While it is probable that some of these options and share purchase warrants will be exercised, it is not possible to predict the timing or the amount of funds which might be received.

Contractual Obligations

There are no contractual obligations other than those described in the notes to the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.

Off-balance sheet arrangements

There are no off balance sheet arrangements.

Inflation

We do not believe that inflation has had a significant impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

Environmental Compliance

Our current and future exploration and development activities, as well as our future mining and processing operations, are subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations in the countries in which we conduct our activities. These laws and regulations govern the protection of the environment, prospecting, development, production, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, mine safety, toxic substances and other matters. We expect to be able to comply with those laws and do not believe that compliance will have a material adverse effect on our competitive position. We intend to obtain all licenses and permits required by all applicable regulatory agencies in connection with our mining operations and exploration activities. We intend to maintain standards of environmental compliance consistent with regulatory requirements.

Midway has an obligation to reclaim its properties after the surface has been disturbed by exploration methods at the site. As of March 31, 2011, we have accrued US$50,645 ($49,105 at March 31, 2011 compared to $41,445 at December 31, 2010) related to reclamation and other closure requirements at our properties. These liabilities are covered by a combination of surety bonds and restricted cash totaling $268,783 at March 31, 2011 (December 31, 2010 - $260,087). We have accrued as a current liability what management believes is the present value of our best estimate of the liabilities as of March 31, 2011; however, it is possible that our obligations may change in the near or long term depending on a number of factors.

Critical accounting policies

Critical accounting estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements include our estimate of recoverable value on our property, plant and equipment, site reclamation and rehabilitation as well as the value assigned to stock-based compensation expense. These estimates involve considerable judgment and are, or could be, affected by significant factors that are out of our control.

The factors affecting stock-based compensation include estimates of when stock options might be exercised and the stock price volatility. The timing for exercise of options is out of our control and will depend, among other things, upon a variety of factors including the market value of Midway shares and financial objectives of the holders of the options. We used historical data to determine volatility in accordance with Black-Scholes modeling, however the future volatility is inherently uncertain and the model has its limitations. While these estimates can have a material impact on the stock-based compensation expense and hence results of operations, there is no impact on our financial condition.

Midway’s recoverability evaluation of its mineral properties and equipment is based on market conditions for minerals, underlying mineral resources associated with the assets and future costs that may be required for ultimate realization through mining operations or by sale. Midway is in an industry that is exposed to a number of risks and uncertainties, including exploration risk, development risk, commodity price risk, operating risk, ownership and political risk, funding and currency risk, as well as environmental risk. Bearing these risks in mind, Midway has assumed recent world commodity prices will be achievable. We have considered the mineral resource reports by independent engineers on the Midway, Spring Valley, Pan and Golden Eagle projects in considering the recoverability of the carrying costs of the mineral properties. All of these assumptions are potentially subject to change and most are out of our control; however changes to the assumptions are not determinable. Accordingly, there is always the potential for a material adjustment to the value assigned to mineral properties and equipment.

Midway has an obligation to reclaim its properties after the surface has been disturbed by exploration methods at the site. As a result Midway has recorded a liability for the fair value of the reclamation costs it expects to incur. The Company estimated applicable inflation and credit-adjusted risk-free rates as well as expected reclamation time frames. To the extent that the estimated reclamation costs change, such changes will impact future reclamation expense recorded.

Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

At the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2011, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision of and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation the CEO and the CFO have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that: (i) information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits to the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in applicable rules and forms and (ii) material information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow for accurate and timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the period covered by this report, there were no changes to internal control over financial reporting that materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings.

A civil complaint filed in federal court in Nevada against the Company on May 9, 2009. On December 29, 2009 the federal court issued an order dismissing the negligence and unjust enrichment claims against the Company with prejudice and the wrongful attachment claim was dismissed without prejudice. ING Novex Insurance Company of Canada did not amend its claim against the Company and the statute of limitations has expired.

On January 27, 2011 the Company was delivered a summons that it is being sued in the state of Nevada by Redcor Drilling, Inc. ("Redcor") for non-payment of the balance of a drilling invoice that is under dispute by the Company. Redcor is demanding the Company pay US$241,477.24 together with interest at the rate of 4% per annum from September 18, 2010. The Company has filed for an extension of time to respond to the summons and intends to continue to protest payment of the amount demanded on the basis of non-performance of services. The Company has recorded the full amount as an accrued liability without accruing interest as the amount of the liability can be estimated and it is likely the Company may be required to pay some portion of the disputed amount.

Redcor placed a mechanic's lien on a portion of the Pan project that the Company leases from NVMC. Subsequently, the Company posted a surety bond for the disputed amount which released the lien from the property.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors.

There are no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Midway’s Form 10-K filed on March 31, 2011 with the SEC.

Item 2.

Defaults Upon Senior Securities.

None.

Item 4.

Item 5.

Other information.

Mine Safety and Health Administration Regulations

We consider health, safety and environmental stewardship to be a core value for the Company.

Our exploration properties are subject to regulation by the Federal Mine Safety and Health Administration ("MSHA") under the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (the "Mine Act"). Pursuant to Section 1503(a) of the recently enacted Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (The "Dodd-Frank Act"), issuers that are operators, or that have a subsidiary that is an operator, of a coal or other mine in the United States are required to disclose in their periodic reports filed with the SEC information regarding specified health and safety violations, orders and citations, related assessments and legal actions, and mining-related fatalities. During the quarter ended March 31, 2011, we had no such specified health and safety violations, orders or citations, related assessments or legal actions, mining-related fatalities, or similar events in relation to our United States operations requiring disclosure pursuant to Section 1503(a) of the Dodd-Frank Act.
