Moydow Mines International Inc.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Operating Results
For the three months ended September 30, 2008
General
This interim management discussion and analysis ("MD&A") is a review of Moydow's financial and operating results for the third quarter
ending September 30, 2008 and is compared with those for the corresponding quarter of 2007. In order to better understand the MD&A, it
should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements ("Consolidated Financial Statements") of the Company and
notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2007. The MD&A has been prepared as at November 10, 2008. The consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles. The reporting currency for the Company
is the United States dollar, and all amounts in the following discussion are in United States dollars unless otherwise noted. The attached
financial statements have not been reviewed by the Company's auditors.
Company Overview
Moydow Mines International Inc. ("Moydow" or the "Company") is an international exploration company with primary interests in precious
and industrial minerals and diamonds. Exploration activities are focused principally in Africa. Moydow Mines' common shares are listed on
both the Toronto Stock Exchange and the AIM Market of the London Stock Exchange (symbol "MOY"). For further information on the Company
please visit our website at www.moydow.com or view our public filings on the SEDAR website at www.sedar.com.
Subsidiaries and affiliated companies of Moydow are organized internationally so that each has a specific geographic area or mineral
project interest. Moydow provides administrative, technical and financial assistance to these companies.
The Company, on July 14, 2008 closed a transaction whereby the Company's 50% (indirect) interest in the Port Loko bauxite exploration
licence in Sierra Leone has been sold to a private company for purposes of accelerated development. Under terms reached with Sierra Alumina
Ltd. ("Sierra"), a company whose largest shareholder is RAB Special Situations (Master) Fund Limited (an investment fund managed by RAB
Capital Plc), the Company will receive cash consideration equal to:
- US$1,525,000 as a non-refundable upfront payment (received on closing); and
- US$5,000,000 on or before November 30, 2008, once Sierra has completed a financing of not less than US$15,000,000 ("Major Financing").
As well, immediately following the Major Financing, the Company will receive:
- Shares in Sierra sufficient to ensure that the Company has at least 11.25% (17% on a fully diluted basis) of the issued and
outstanding shares of Sierra; and
- Warrants in Sierra equal in number to the number of shares it receives at the same strike price as agreed for participants in the
Major Financing.
The Company's joint venture partner has agreed to accept identical consideration for its 50% interest. Sierra may extend the closing
date of November 30, 2008 to no later than February 28, 2009 through the advance payment of an additional sum of US$1,000,000 (for an
aggregate of US$2,000,000) to each of Moydow and its partner.
The Company further understands that Sierra has concurrently purchased all of the share capital of Argyll Resources Corporation, a
company that had disputed ownership of the Port Loko project.
On the Dala project, Angola, a total of eleven anomalies have been drilled and of these, six were considered high priority primary
targets. Of these six high priority targets which have been drilled, four have now intersected kimberlite, one was abandoned due to ground
conditions before reaching target depth and one returned negative results.
There remain in excess of twenty primary anomalies to be drilled on the Dala Project in this current drilling programme consisting of
5,000 metres of drilling. The core will be split and samples sent for analysis for G-10 garnets and micro diamonds. Results of these
analyses will be provided as soon as they become available.
The Dala project continues to produce tremendously positive results. The rate at which drilling is confirming the existence of
kimberlites is testament to the prospectivity of the licence and the abilities of the geological staff on the ground. With so many anomalies
remaining to be drilled, the Dala project has great potential.
The Dala licence comprises some 3,000 square kilometres and is located in the Lunda Sul province of north-eastern Angola, immediately
adjacent to the city of Saurimo. The licence is 40 kilometres south of the Catoca Mine, the world's fourth largest diamondiferous kimberlite
mine, and is adjacent to Petra Diamond's Alto Cuilo property.
Forward-Looking Statements
This MD&A contains "forward-looking statements" that are subject to a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors
that may cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in our forward looking statements. Factors that could cause such
differences include: changes in metal prices, equity markets, results of exploration and related expenses, drilling activity, sampling and
other data, currency exchange rates, change in governments, ability to raise finances and changes to regulations affecting the mining
industry. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events or results to
differ materially from estimated or anticipated events or results implied or expressed in such forward-looking statements.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As at September 30, 2008, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision of and with the participation of the Company's management,
including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures.
Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the design and operation of these
disclosure controls and procedures were effective as at September 30, 2008, to provide reasonable assurance that material information
relating to the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries would be made known to them by others within those entities.
Application of Critical Accounting Estimates
Moydow's accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Set out below is a discussion of the
application of Moydow's critical accounting policies that require the Company to make assumptions about matters that are uncertain at the
time the accounting estimate is made, and where different estimates that could reasonably have been used in the current period, or changes
in the accounting estimate that reasonably likely to occur from period to period would have a material impact on Moydow's financial
statements.
Carrying value of mineral properties
Acquisition costs of mineral properties, together with direct exploration and development expenses incurred thereon, are deferred and
capitalized on a property by property basis. Upon reaching commercial production, these capitalized costs are transferred from exploration
properties to producing properties on the consolidated balance sheets and are amortized into operations using the unit-of-production method
over the estimated useful life of the estimated related ore reserves.
In the event that the long-term expectation is that the net carrying amount of these capitalized exploration costs will not be
recovered, the carrying amount is written down accordingly and the write-down amount charged to operations. Such would be indicated where:
* Exploration activities have ceased;
* Exploration results are not promising such that exploration will not be planned for the foreseeable future;
* Lease ownership rights expire; or
* Insufficient funding is available to complete the exploration program.
The amount shown for mineral properties represents costs incurred to date net of recoveries from option or joint venture participants
and write-downs, and does not necessarily reflect present or future values.
Overview of Exploration Activities, Contractual Obligations and Commitments
Dala project, Angola
The Company is party to two separate exploration projects with the same partners on the Dala property in Angola, relating to the
exploration for alluvial and kimberlite diamonds.
Alluvial diamonds
On October 1, 2004, the Company signed an agreement with Empressa Nacional De Diamantes De Angola (Endiama), the Angolan state diamond
mining company and Cimader-Comercio Geral Limitada (Cimader), a local Angola company, to explore for alluvial diamonds on the Dala
concession, located near the town of Saurimo, in north-east Angola. The concession comprises 3,000 square kilometres. To obtain a 33%
interest, the Company will have to incur expenditures of not less than $5,000,000 on or before February 2008. The licence has been renewed
to February 2009. Cimader and Endiama have a free carried interest in the exploration phase of the project.
The Company has agreed with Concord Minerala LLC ("Concord") to terminate their joint venture with respect to the Dala Diamond Project
("Project") in Angola in exchange for issuing to Concord 4,000,000 common shares of the Company at a price of Cdn$0.20 per share. These
shares were issued to Concord on April 21, 2008. The Company had entered into an agreement with Concord, a private Nevada company, whereby
the Company would transfer its interest in the Project to a joint venture company formed with Concord, and Concord would fund exploration
expenditures on the Project. The Company and Concord agreed not to proceed with this joint venture structure and to issue shares to Concord
to compensate it for the expenditures it incurred on the Project. The Company now holds a 33% interest in the Project with Empressa Nacional
De Diamantes De Angola (Endiama), the Angolan state diamond mining company, holding a 34% interest and Cimader-Comercio Geral Limitada
(Cimader), a local Angola company, holding a 33% interest. The Dala Diamond Project, located near Saurimo in north-east Angola, comprises 3,000 square kilometres.
The Company's cumulative expenditures on the alluvial licence to September 30, 2008, amounted to $5.85 million of which $1.25 million
was incurred during the nine months of 2008.
Kimberlite
On December 16, 2005, the Company signed another agreement with Endiama and Cimader to explore for kimberlite (primary) diamonds on the
Dala concession. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company can earn 40% interest in the concession with the remaining percentages held
by Endiama and Cimader. To obtain its interest, the Company will have to incur expenditures of not less than $10,000,000 on or before
January 14, 2009. Cimader and Endiama have a free carried interest in the exploration phase of the project. The granting of the licence was
ratified by the Angolan Council of Ministers on October 18th, 2006 and was subject to the Company making a deposit of $1 milllion with the
Angolan government. The deposit was made in 2006 and may be refunded provided that Moydow meet certain conditions. The deposit has been
included as a component of the cost to acquire an interest in the Dala project.
The Company's cumulative expenditures on the kimberlite licence to September 30, 2008 amounted to $5.84 million of which $2.16 million
was incurred during the first nine months of 2008.
Port Loko property, Sierra Leone
Cumulative expenditures by the Company to June 30, 2008, amounted to $3.20 million of which $0.16 million was incurred in the first half
of 2008 and $0.08 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2008. The Company, on July 14, 2008, closed a transaction whereby the Company's
50% interest in the Port Loko bauxite exploration licence in Sierra Leone has been sold to a private company for the purpose of accelerated
development. The non-refundable upfront payment of $1.53 million has been offset against the mineral property carrying value.
Ntotoroso property, Ghana
On December 8, 2003, the Company sold its wholly owned subsidiary, Moydow Limited (Isle of Man), which, following an internal
restructuring, owned the Company's 50% joint venture interest in the Ntotoroso property but no other mineral properties, to Newmont Mining
Corporation (Newmont).
In connection with the sale, the Company entered into a royalty agreement, whereby the Company acquired the right to a net smelter
return royalty of 2% on all recovered ounces of gold and silver produced from the Ntotoroso property after the first 1,200,000 gold
equivalent ounces in consideration for $250,000. No value has been ascribed to the royalty rights acquired by the Company.
The project poured it's first gold on July 18, 2006 and as at September 30, 2008, had produced 578,265 ounces of gold of which 79,714
ounces of gold was produced in the three months ended September 30, 2008. Assuming the same rate of production, we expect our first royalty
payment in year 2010.
Hwidem property, Ghana
On November 23, 2007, the Company was granted a one-year extension to its prospecting licence with respect to the Hwidem property by the
Minister for Lands, Forestry and Mines in Ghana. The licence area covers 24.7 square kilometres and it adjoins the Kenyase-Ntotoroso area
currently under lease to Rank Mining Company Limited, a subsidiary of Newmont. The Company incurred exploration expenditures on this
property of $0.01 million in the second quarter of 2008. The minimum exploration expenditures required to be spent by the end of the
extension in order to maintain the licence are $0.52 million, of which $0.59 million had been spent as at September 30, 2008. If gold
mineralization does not exist in sufficient quantities in the area to warrant completion of the work program, the Company is not liable for
any shortfall of the minimum exploration expenditures.
Commitments
The Company, either directly or through certain joint ventures, has obligations to expend various amounts on its mineral properties and
projects in order to keep its mineral property rights in good standing. All agreements are in the normal course of business.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 2008, the Company had negative working capital of $5.72 million (December 31, 2007 - $3.46 million). Cash and cash
equivalents at September 30, 2008 amounted to $0.09 million compared to cash and cash equivalents as the December 31, 2007 of $0.09 million.
A company controlled by certain insiders of the Company advanced money to the Company and interest has been accrued at Libor plus 2%.
The amount of interest charged to the Company during the first nine months of 2008 was $0.26 million. Included in accounts payable and
accrued liabilities as at September 30, 2008, is $5.85 million (December 31, 2007 - $3.44 million) payable to these related parties.
These financial statements have been prepared using Canadian generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern,
which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business as they come due. As at
September 30, 2008, the Company had an excess of current liabilities over current assets of $5.72 million and has recorded losses and net
cash outflows from operations for the past two years. The Company is also required to make expenditures in the near term to keep its mineral
property rights in Angola. The Company will have to secure additional financing to meet its required commitments. These circumstances lend
substantial doubt as to the ability of the Company to meet its obligations as they come due and, accordingly, the appropriateness of the use
of accounting principles applicable to a going concern.
In recognition of these circumstances, the Company is exploring various initiatives to secure capital so that Moydow can continue as a
going concern. It is not possible to determine, with any certainty, the success, adequacy or sufficiency of these initiatives. In July 2008,
the company secured $1.53 million from its part disposal of the Port Loko Licence in Sierra Leone and an additional $5.00 million on or
before November 30, 2008, provided Sierra has completes a financing of not less than US$15 million.
Cash Flow Statements
Cash flow used by operating activities for the quarter ended September 30, 2008, including changes in non-cash working capital of $0.43
million, totalled $0.61 million as compared to cash flow provided by operation activities of $0.062 million in the same period in 2007. In
the three months ended September 30, 2008, cash provided from investing activities was $0.28 million of which (2007 - cash used $0.78
million) $1.24 million was expended on exploration of mineral properties, principally in Angola and the non refundable up front payment of
$1.53 million for the proposed sale of the bauxite project in Sierra Leone has been set off against the carrying value of the project. Cash
flow from financing activities for the period ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, was $nil million, and $nil million, respectively.
On April 21, 2008, the Company issued 4,000,000 common shares to Concord Minerals LLC in connection with the acquisition of its interest
in the Dala property in Angola. The common shares were issued at a price of CA$0.20 per common share, in settlement of the cumulative
expenditures incurred by Concord Minerals LLC on the Dala property of $728,051.
Cash flow provided for operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, including increases in non-cash working
capital of $2.25 million, totalled $1.36 million as compared to cash flow provided for operating activities of $0.91 million in the same
period of 2007. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, cash used in investing activities was $2.15 million and $2.77
million, respectively, which was expended on exploration of mineral properties, principally on the Dala diamond project in Angola and Port
Loko bauxite property in Sierra Leone. The non refundable up front payment of $1.53 million for the proposed sale of the bauxite project in
Sierra Leone has been set off against the carrying value of the project.
Cash flow from financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, was $0.80 million representing , the issue of
4,000,000 common shares to Concord Minerals LLC in connection with the acquisition of its interest in the Dala property, Angola. During the
nine months ended September 30, 2007, cash flow from financing activities was $1.83 million, of which $3.26 million was the proceeds from
the issue of 18,297,186 common shares in the Company less the repayment of loans in the amount of $1.43 million.
Use of Financial Instruments

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

MOYDOW MINES INTERNATIONAL INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(expressed in United States dollars, unless otherwise stated)
* Nature of operations and going concern
Moydow Mines International Inc. (Moydow or the Company) is an international exploration company with primary interests in precious
metals, diamonds and industrial minerals. Moydow's common shares are listed on both the Toronto Stock Exchange and the AIM Market of the
London Stock Exchange.
The Company is exploring its mineral properties and, as at September 30, 2008, had not determined the existence of economically
recoverable reserves. The recoverability of the amounts shown for mineral properties is dependent upon the existence of economically
recoverable mineral reserves, the preservation of the Company's interest in the underlying mineral claims, the ability to obtain necessary
financing, to obtain government approval and to attain profitable production or, alternatively, upon the Company's ability to profitably
dispose of its interests.
These financial statements have been prepared using Canadian generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern,
which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business as they come due. As at
September 30, 2008, the Company had an excess of current liabilities over current assets of $5.72 million and has recorded losses and net
cash outflows from operations for the past two years. The Company is also required to make expenditures in the near term to keep its mineral
property rights in Angola. The Company will have to secure additional financing to meet its required commitments. These circumstances lend
substantial doubt as to the ability of the Company to meet its obligations as they come due and, accordingly, the appropriateness of the use
of accounting principles applicable to a going concern.
In recognition of these circumstances, the Company is exploring various initiatives to secure capital so that Moydow can continue as a
going concern. It is not possible to determine, with any certainty, the success, adequacy or sufficiency of these initiatives.
The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to fund its working capital and exploration
requirements and eventually to generate positive cash flows, either from operations or sale of a property. These financial statements do not
reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported expenses and balance sheet classifications that
would be necessary were the going concern assumption inappropriate. These adjustments could be material.
Operating results for the periods ended September 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
full year ended December 31, 2008. For further information, see the Company's consolidated financial statements including the notes thereto
included in the Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2007.
2) Mineral properties
The Company, either directly or through certain joint ventures, has obligations to expend various amounts on its mineral properties and
