PROSPECTUS
APOLLO GOLD CORPORATION 

35,521,200 Common Shares
 
 
The selling shareholders identified on page 12 may use this prospectus to offer and resell from time to time up to 35,521,200 of the issued and outstanding common shares of Apollo Gold Corporation (together with its subsidiaries, “Apollo,” “we” or “us”) acquired by the selling shareholders in a private placement completed on February 23, 2007. The 35,521,200 common shares is composed of (i) 17,160,000 common shares issuable upon exercise of unsecured convertible debentures (which we sometimes refer to in this prospectus as the “Debentures”), (ii) 17,160,000 common shares issuable upon exercise of share purchase warrants (which we sometimes refer to in this prospectus as the “Purchase Warrants”), and (iii) 1,201,200 common shares issuable upon exercise of share purchase warrants (which we sometimes refer to in this prospectus as the “Compensation Warrants”) issued to Shoreline Pacific, LLC (which we sometimes refer to in this prospectus as “Shoreline”) and Regent Securities Capital Corporation (which we sometimes refer to in this prospectus as “Regent”), who acted as placement agents in the private placement. Each $1,000 principal amount of Debenture is convertible into 2,000 of our common shares at a conversion price of $0.50 per share and each Purchase Warrant and Compensation Warrant is exercisable at $0.50 for one common share of Apollo. Each Debenture matures on February 23, 2009 and each Purchase Warrant and Compensation Warrant and expires on February 23, 2009. We will have the option to force conversion of the Debentures under the following circumstances: (1) at any time after September 24, 2007 and prior to the maturity date if the 20-day weighted average trading price of our common shares equals or exceeds $0.90 (if we force conversion in this circumstance prior to the first anniversary of the issuance of the Debentures, we will be required to pay interest for the full first year after which no further payments will be required; if we force conversion after the one year anniversary, there will be no additional payment beyond the normal course interest amount outstanding) and (2) in the event of a change of control of Apollo. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares resold under this prospectus by the selling shareholders.
 
Our common shares are traded on the American Stock Exchange under the symbol “AGT” and on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol “APG.” On May 17, 2007, the closing price for our common shares on the American Stock Exchange was $0.44 per share and the closing price on the Toronto Stock Exchange was Cdn$0.50 per share.
 
The selling shareholders may sell the shares in transactions on the American Stock Exchange or the Toronto Stock Exchange and by any other method permitted by applicable law. The selling shareholders may sell the shares at prevailing market prices or at prices negotiated with purchasers and will be responsible for any commissions or discounts due to brokers or dealers. The amount of these commissions or discounts cannot be known at this time because they will be negotiated at the time of the sales. We will pay certain of the other offering expenses of the selling shareholders. See “Plan of Distribution” beginning on page 15.
 
References in this prospectus to “$” are to United States dollars. Canadian dollars are indicated by the symbol “Cdn$”.

OUR BUSINESS
 
The earliest predecessor to Apollo Gold Corporation was incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario in 1936. In May 2003, it reincorporated under the laws of the Yukon Territory. Apollo Gold Corporation maintains its registered office at 204 Black Street, Suite 300, Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, Canada Y1A 2M9, and the telephone number at that office is (867) 668-5252. Apollo Gold Corporation maintains its principal executive office at 5655 S. Yosemite Street, Suite 200, Greenwood Village, Colorado 80111-3220, and the telephone number at that office is (720) 886-9656. Our internet address is http://www.apollogold.com. Information contained on our website is not a part of this prospectus.
 
Apollo is engaged in gold mining including extraction, processing, refining and the production of by-product metals, as well as related activities including exploration and development. We are the operator of the Montana Tunnels mine (“Mine”), which is a 50% joint venture with Elkhorn Tunnels, LLC (“Elkhorn”). The Mine is an open pit mine and mill producing gold doré and lead-gold and zinc-gold concentrates.
 
Apollo has a development project, the Black Fox project, which is located near the Township of Matheson in the Province of Ontario, Canada. Apollo also owns Mexican subsidiaries that own concessions at the Huizopa exploration project, located in the Sierra Madres in Chihuahua, Mexico.

RISK FACTORS
 
An investment in the securities involves a high degree of risk. You should consider the following discussion of risks in addition to the other information in this prospectus before purchasing any of the securities. In addition to historical information, the information in this prospectus contains “forward-looking” statements about our future business and performance. Our actual operating results and financial performance may be very different from what we expect as of the date of this prospectus. The risks below address the factors that may affect our future operating results and financial performance.
 
We have identified a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting.
 
In 2006 a major restructuring and streamlining at the corporate office significantly changed the design and structure of our internal controls and procedures at the corporate level. Also, following the closure of the mill in May 2006 and placing the Montana Tunnels mine on care and maintenance and the subsequent resumption of mining activities at the mine in September 2006, our controls at that location are not operating as previously designed related to segregation of duties over procurement, inventory control and accounting duties. Corporate management has increased its involvement with day-to-day oversight and management of the Montana Tunnels mine, but as of this date, management has not had sufficient time to evaluate these controls and therefore believes the change in controls is significant enough to be reported as a material weakness. In an effort to address this material weakness, staffing requirements and other changes in control are being evaluated as the future operational requirements of the Montana Tunnels mine are being determined. This material weakness could result in the misstatement of assets, liabilities, shareholders’ equity or expenses that would result in a misstatement of the interim or annual consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.

As a non-accelerated filer, compliance with the internal control reporting requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 has been deferred and we will be subject to the requirements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2007.
 
The market price of our common shares could experience volatility and could decline significantly.
 
Our common shares are listed on the American Stock Exchange and the Toronto Stock Exchange. Our share price has declined significantly since 2004. Securities of small-cap companies have experienced substantial volatility in the past, often based on factors unrelated to the financial performance or prospects of the companies involved. These factors include macroeconomic developments in North America and globally and market perceptions of the attractiveness of particular industries. Our share price is also likely to be significantly affected by short-term changes in gold and zinc prices or in our financial condition or results of operations as reflected in our quarterly earnings reports. As a result of any of these factors, the market price of our common shares at any given point in time might not accurately reflect our long-term value. Securities class action litigation often has been brought against companies following periods of volatility in the market price of their securities. We could in the future be the target of similar litigation. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and damages and divert management’s attention and resources.
 
If we complete additional equity financings, then our existing shareholders may experience dilution.
 
Any additional equity financing that we obtain would involve the sale of our common shares and/or sales of securities that are convertible or exercisable into our common shares, such as share purchase warrants or convertible notes. There is no assurance that we will be able to complete equity financings that are not dilutive to our existing shareholders.
 
The existence of outstanding rights to purchase common shares may impair our share price and our ability to raise capital.
 
As of March 20, 2007, approximately 46 million additional common shares are issuable on exercise of warrants, options or other rights to purchase common shares at prices ranging from $0.20 to $2.24. In addition, there are approximately 11.7 million common shares issuable upon the conversion of the $8,731,000 outstanding principal amount of our Series B Convertible Debentures at the option of the holder at a conversion price of $0.75 per share and approximately 17.2 million common shares issuable upon the conversion of the $8,580,000

outstanding principal of the convertible debentures issued February 23, 2007 at the option of the holder at a conversion price of $0.50 per share. During the term of the warrants, options and other rights, the holders are given an opportunity to profit from a rise in the market price of our common shares with a resulting dilution in the interest of the other shareholders. Our ability to obtain additional financing during the period such rights are outstanding may be adversely affected, and the existence of the rights may have an adverse effect on the price of our common shares. The holders of the warrants, options and other rights can be expected to exercise them at a time when we would, in all likelihood, be able to obtain any needed capital by a new offering of securities on terms more favorable than those provided by the outstanding rights.
 
There may be certain tax risks associated with investments in our company.
 
Potential investors that are United States taxpayers should consider that we could be considered to be a “passive foreign investment company” (“PFIC”) for federal income tax purposes. Although we believe that we currently are not a PFIC and do not expect to become a PFIC in the near future, the tests for determining PFIC status are dependent upon a number of factors, some of which are beyond our control, and we can not assure you that we will not become a PFIC in the future. If we were deemed to be a PFIC, then a United States taxpayer who disposes or is deemed to dispose of our shares at a gain, or who received a so-called “excess distribution” on the shares, generally would be required to treat such gain or excess distribution as ordinary income and pay an interest charge on a portion of the gain or distribution unless the taxpayer makes a timely qualified electing fund election (a “QEF” election). A United States taxpayer who makes a QEF election generally must report on a current basis his or her share of any of our ordinary earnings and net capital gain for any taxable year in which we are a PFIC, whether or not we distribute those earnings. Special estate tax rules could be applicable to our shares if we are classified as a PFIC for income tax purposes.
 
We have a history of losses and we expect to incur losses in the future.
 
Since our inception through a merger in June 2002, we have incurred significant losses and we expect significant losses to continue for the foreseeable future. Our net losses were $15,587,000, $22,208,000, and $31,007,000 for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. There can be no assurance that we will achieve or sustain profitability in the future.
 
We have a limited operating history on which to evaluate our potential for future success.
 
We were formed as a result of a merger in June 2002 and have only a limited operating history upon which you can evaluate our business and prospects. During this period, we have not generated sufficient revenues to cover our expenses and costs. If we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks and uncertainties, our business, results of operations and financial condition will be materially and adversely affected.
 
We are dependent on certain key personnel.
 
We are currently dependent upon the ability and experience of R. David Russell, our President and Chief Executive Officer; Richard F. Nanna, our Senior Vice President-Exploration; and Melvyn Williams, our Chief Financial Officer and Senior Vice President-Finance and Corporate Development. We believe that our success depends on the continued service of our key officers and there can be no assurance that we will be able to retain any or all of such officers. We currently do not carry key person insurance on any of these individuals, and the loss of one or more of them could have a material adverse effect on our operations.
 
Our earnings may be affected by metals price volatility, specifically the volatility of gold and zinc prices.
 
We historically have derived all of our revenues from the sale of gold, silver, lead and zinc and our development and exploration activities are focused on gold. As a result, our future earnings are directly related to the price of gold. Changes in the price of gold significantly affect our profitability. Gold prices historically have fluctuated widely, based on numerous industry factors including:

·
industrial and jewelry demand;
 
·
central bank lending, sales and purchases of gold;

 
·
forward sales of gold by producers and speculators;
 
·
production and cost levels in major gold-producing regions; and
 
·
rapid short-term changes in supply and demand because of speculative or hedging activities
 
Gold prices are also affected by macroeconomic factors, including:
 
·
confidence in the global monetary system;
 
·
expectations of the future rate of inflation (if any);
 
·
the strength of, and confidence in, the U.S. dollar (the currency in which the price of gold is generally quoted) and other currencies;
 
·
interest rates; and
 
·
global or regional political or economic events, including but not limited to acts of terrorism. 
 
The current demand for, and supply of, gold also affects gold prices. The supply of gold consists of a combination of new production from mining and existing shares of bullion held by government central banks, public and private financial institutions, industrial organizations and private individuals. As the amounts produced by all producers in any single year constitute a small portion of the total potential supply of gold, normal variations in current production do not usually have a significant impact on the supply of gold or on its price. Mobilization of gold held by central banks through lending and official sales may have a significant adverse impact on the gold price.
 
All of the above factors are beyond our control and are impossible for us to predict. If the market prices for gold, silver, zinc or lead fall below our costs to produce them for a sustained period of time, we will experience additional losses and we could also be required by our reduced revenue to discontinue exploration, development and/or mining at one or more of our properties.
 
Our reserve estimates are potentially inaccurate.
 
We estimate our reserves on our properties as either “proven reserves” or “probable reserves.” Our ore reserve figures and costs are primarily estimates and are not guarantees that we will recover the indicated quantities of these metals. We estimate proven reserve quantities based on sampling and testing of sites conducted by us and by independent companies hired by us. Probable reserves are based on information similar to that used for proven reserves, but the sites for sampling are less extensive, and the degree of certainty is less. Reserve estimation is an interpretive process based upon available geological data and statistical inferences and is inherently imprecise and may prove to be unreliable.
 
Our reserves are reduced as existing reserves are depleted through production. Reserves may be reduced due to lower than anticipated volume and grade of reserves mined and processed and recovery rates.
 
Reserve estimates are calculated using assumptions regarding metals prices. These prices have fluctuated widely in the past. Declines in the market price of metals, as well as increased production costs, capital costs and reduced recovery rates, may render reserves uneconomic to exploit. Any material reduction in our reserves may lead to increased net losses, reduced cash flow, asset write-downs and other adverse effects on our results of operations and financial condition. Reserves should not be interpreted as assurances of mine life or of the profitability of current or future operations. No assurance can be given that the amount of metal estimated will be produced or the indicated level of recovery of these metals will be realized.
 
We may not achieve our production estimates.
 
We prepare estimates of future production for our operations. We develop our estimates based on, among other things, mining experience, reserve estimates, assumptions regarding ground conditions and physical

characteristics of ores (such as hardness and presence or absence of certain metallurgical characteristics) and estimated rates and costs of mining and processing. In the past, our actual production from time to time has been lower than our production estimates and this may be the case in the future.
 
Each of these factors also applies to future development properties not yet in production and to the Montana Tunnels mine expansion. In the case of mines we may develop in the future, we do not have the benefit of actual experience in our estimates, and there is a greater likelihood that the actual results will vary from the estimates. In addition, development and expansion projects are subject to unexpected construction and start-up problems and delays.
 
Our future profitability depends in part, on actual economic returns and actual costs of developing mines, which may differ significantly from our estimates and involve unexpected problems, costs and delays.
 
From time to time we will engage in the development of new ore bodies. Our ability to sustain or increase our present level of production is dependent in part on the successful exploration and development of new ore bodies and/or expansion of existing mining operations. Decisions about the development of Black Fox and other future projects are subject to the successful completion of feasibility studies, issuance of necessary governmental permits and receipt of adequate financing.
 
Development projects have no operating history upon which to base estimates of future cash flow. Our estimates of proven and probable ore reserves and cash operating costs are, to a large extent, based upon detailed geologic and engineering analysis. We also conduct feasibility studies that derive estimates of capital and operating costs based upon many factors.
 
It is possible that actual costs and economic returns may differ materially from our best estimates. It is not unusual in the mining industry for new mining operations to experience unexpected problems during the start-up phase and to require more capital than anticipated. There can be no assurance that the Black Fox property will be profitable.
 
Exploration in general, and gold exploration in particular, are speculative and are frequently unsuccessful.
 
Mineral exploration, particularly for gold and silver, is highly speculative in nature, capital intensive, involves many risks and frequently is nonproductive. There can be no assurance that our mineral exploration efforts will be successful. If we discover a site with gold or other mineralization, it will take a number of years from the initial phases of drilling until production is possible, during which time the economic feasibility of production may change. Substantial expenditures are required to establish ore reserves through drilling, to determine metallurgical processes to extract the metals from the ore and, in the case of new properties, to construct mining and processing facilities. As a result of these uncertainties, no assurance can be given that our exploration programs will result in the expansion or replacement of existing ore reserves that are being depleted by current production.
 
We have experienced operational problems at our Montana Tunnels mine.
 
Since the sale of our Florida Canyon and Standard mines in November 2005, all of our revenues have been derived from our milling operations at the Montana Tunnels mine, which is a low grade mine. Historically, the Montana Tunnels mine has been unprofitable. During 2004, we experienced problems related to the milling of low-grade ore at the Montana Tunnels mine, which negatively affected our revenues and earnings. Throughout 2005, we experienced operational problems, particularly in the open pit, leading to the suspension of mining on October 21, 2005 for safety reasons due to increased wall activity in the open pit. After the suspension of mining and until May 12, 2006, we were able to continue to produce gold doré, lead-gold and zinc-gold concentrates from milling low grade stockpiled ore. However, on May 12, 2006, all operations ceased at the mine and it was placed on care and maintenance. On July 28, 2006, we entered into a joint venture agreement with Elkhorn Tunnels, LLC, in respect of the Montana Tunnels mine pursuant to which Elkhorn Tunnels made financial contributions in exchange for a fifty percent interest in the mine. Mill operations recommenced in March 2007, however there can be no assurances that we will not encounter additional operational problems at our Montana Tunnels mine.

We do not currently have and may not be able to raise the funds necessary to explore and develop our Black Fox and Huizopa properties.
 
We do not currently have sufficient funds to complete all of our planned exploration activities at Black Fox and Huizopa or to develop a mine at Black Fox. The development of Black Fox and exploration of Huizopa will require significant capital expenditures. Sources of external financing may include bank and nonbank borrowings and future debt and equity offerings. There can be no assurance that financing will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. The failure to obtain financing would have a material adverse effect on our growth strategy and our results of operations and financial condition.
 
Our Black Fox property is pledged to the holders of our 12% Series 2004-B Secured Convertible Debentures and we may not be able to obtain financing from an asset based lender.
 
Our Black Fox property is pledged to the holders of our 12% Series 2004-B Secured Convertible Debentures as security for our obligations under these debentures. It may be difficult for us to raise additional external funds through banks, asset based lenders, or other types of lenders, which may require us to raise additional funds through future debt and equity offerings. In addition, the inability to pledge any additional significant assets may make it difficult or impossible to obtain financing on acceptable terms, or at all. The failure to obtain acceptable financing would have a material adverse effect on our growth strategy and our results of operations and financial condition.
 
Possible hedging activities could expose us to losses.
 
In the future, we may enter into precious and/or base metals hedging contracts that may involve outright forward sales contracts, spot-deferred sales contracts, the use of options which may involve the sale of call options and the purchase of all these hedging instruments. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully hedge against price, currency and interest rate fluctuations. In addition, our ability to hedge against zinc and lead price risk in a timely manner may be adversely affected by the smaller volume of transactions in both the zinc and lead markets. Further, there can be no assurance that the use of hedging techniques will always be to our benefit. Some hedging instruments may prevent us from realizing the benefit from subsequent increases in market prices with respect to covered production. This limitation would limit our revenues and profits. Hedging contracts are also subject to the risk that the other party may be unable or unwilling to perform its obligations under these contracts. Any significant nonperformance could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
 
We face substantial governmental regulation.
 
Safety. Our U.S. mining operation is subject to inspection and regulation by the Mine Safety and Health Administration of the United States Department of Labor (“MSHA”) under the provisions of the Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”) also has jurisdiction over safety and health standards not covered by MSHA. Our policy is to comply with applicable directives and regulations of MSHA and OSHA. We have made and expect to make in the future, significant expenditures to comply with these laws and regulations.
 
Current Environmental Laws and Regulations. We must comply with environmental standards, laws and regulations that may result in increased costs and delays depending on the nature of the regulated activity and how stringently the regulations are implemented by the regulatory authority. The costs and delays associated with compliance with such laws and regulations could stop us from proceeding with the exploration of a project or the operation or future exploration of a mine. Laws and regulations involving the protection and remediation of the environment and the governmental policies for implementation of such laws and regulations are constantly changing and are generally becoming more restrictive. We have made, and expect to make in the future, significant expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations.
 
Some of our properties are located in historic mining districts with past production and abandoned mines. The major historical mine workings and processing facilities owned (wholly or partially) by us in Montana are being targeted by the Montana Department of Environmental Quality (“MDEQ”) for publicly funded cleanup, which reduces our exposure to financial liability. We are participating with the MDEQ under Voluntary Cleanup Plans on

those sites. Our cleanup responsibilities have been completed at the Corbin Flats Facility and at the Gregory Mine site, both located in Jefferson County, Montana, under programs involving cooperative efforts with the MDEQ. MDEQ is also contemplating remediation of the Washington Mine site at public expense under the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (“SMCRA”). In February 2004, we consented to MDEQ’s entry onto the portion of the Washington Mine site owned by us to undertake publicly funded remediation under SMCRA. In March 2004, we entered into a definitive written settlement agreement with MDEQ and the Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) under which MDEQ will conduct publicly funded remediation of the Wickes Smelter site under SMCRA and will grant us a site release in exchange for our donation of the portion of the site owned by us to BLM for use as a waste repository. However, there can be no assurance that we will continue to resolve disputed liability for historical mine and ore processing facility waste sites on such favorable terms in the future. We remain exposed to liability, or assertions of liability, that would require expenditure of legal defense costs, under joint and several liability statutes for cleanups of historical wastes that have not yet been completed.
 
Environmental laws and regulations may also have an indirect impact on us, such as increased costs for electricity due to acid rain provisions of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. Charges by refiners to which we sell our metallic concentrates and products have substantially increased over the past several years because of requirements that refiners meet revised environmental quality standards. We have no control over the refiners’ operations or their compliance with environmental laws and regulations.
 
Potential Legislation. Changes to the current laws and regulations governing the operations and activities of mining companies, including changes to the U.S. General Mining Law of 1872, and permitting, environmental, title, health and safety, labor and tax laws, are actively considered from time to time. We cannot predict which changes may be considered or adopted and changes in these laws and regulations could have a material adverse impact on our business. Expenses associated with the compliance with new laws or regulations could be material. Further, increased expenses could prevent or delay exploration or mine development projects and could therefore affect future levels of mineral production.
 
We are subject to environmental risks.
 
Environmental Liability. We are subject to potential risks and liabilities associated with environmental compliance and the disposal of waste rock and materials that could occur as a result of our mineral exploration and production. To the extent that we are subject to environmental liabilities, the payment of such liabilities or the costs that we may incur to remedy any non-compliance with environmental laws would reduce funds otherwise available to us and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. If we are unable to fully remedy an environmental problem, we might be required to suspend operations or enter into interim compliance measures pending completion of the required remedy. The potential exposure may be significant and could have a material adverse effect on us. We have not purchased insurance for environmental risks (including potential liability for pollution or other hazards as a result of the disposal of waste products occurring from exploration and production) because it is not generally available at a reasonable price or at all.
 
Environmental Permits. All of our exploration, development and production activities are subject to regulation under one or more of the various state, federal and provincial environmental laws and regulations in Canada, Mexico and the U.S. Many of the regulations require us to obtain permits for our activities. We must update and review our permits from time to time, and are subject to environmental impact analyses and public review processes prior to approval of the additional activities. It is possible that future changes in applicable laws, regulations and permits or changes in their enforcement or regulatory interpretation could have a significant impact on some portion of our business, causing those activities to be economically reevaluated at that time. Those risks include, but are not limited to, the risk that regulatory authorities may increase bonding requirements beyond our financial capabilities. The posting of bonding in accordance with regulatory determinations is a condition to the right to operate under all material operating permits, and therefore increases in bonding requirements could prevent our operations from continuing even if we were in full compliance with all substantive environmental laws.
 
We face strong competition from other mining companies for the acquisition of new properties.
 
Mines have limited lives and as a result, we may seek to replace and expand our reserves through the acquisition of new properties. In addition, there is a limited supply of desirable mineral lands available in the United States, Canada and Mexico and other areas where we would consider conducting exploration and/or production

activities. Because we face strong competition for new properties from other mining companies, some of which have greater financial resources than we do, we may be unable to acquire attractive new mining properties on terms that we consider acceptable.
 
The titles to some of our properties may be uncertain or defective.
 
Certain of our United States mineral rights consist of “unpatented” mining claims created and maintained in accordance with the U.S. General Mining Law of 1872. Unpatented mining claims are unique U.S. property interests, and are generally considered to be subject to greater title risk than other real property interests because the validity of unpatented mining claims is often uncertain. This uncertainty arises, in part, out of the complex federal and state laws and regulations that supplement the General Mining Law. Also, unpatented mining claims and related rights, including rights to use the surface, are subject to possible challenges by third parties or contests by the federal government. The validity of an unpatented mining claim, in terms of both its location and its maintenance, is dependent on strict compliance with a complex body of federal and state statutory and decisional law. In addition, there are few public records that definitively control the issues of validity and ownership of unpatented mining claims.
 
In recent years, the U.S. Congress has considered a number of proposed amendments to the General Mining Law. Although no such legislation has been adopted to date, there can be no assurance that such legislation will not be adopted in the future. If ever adopted, such legislation could, among other things, impose royalties on gold production from unpatented mining claims located on federal lands or impose fees on production from patented mining claims. If such legislation is ever adopted, it could have an adverse impact on earnings from our operations, could reduce estimates of our reserves and could curtail our future exploration and development activity on federal lands or patented claims.
 
While we have no reason to believe that the existence and extent of any of our properties are in doubt, title to mining properties are subject to potential claims by third parties claiming an interest in them and, in September 2006 some of our claims associated with our Black Fox project were listed as reopened for staking on the Ministry of Northern Development and Mines (MNDM) website. Five of these claims totaling 185 acres were immediately staked by local prospectors. None of these reserves or resources at our Black Fox project are located on the properties related to these claims. It is our opinion that these claims were erroneously listed as reopened and overstaked and we are working diligently with the MNDM to correct the overstaking.
 
We may lose rights to properties if we fail to meet payment requirements or development or production schedules.
 
We derive the rights to most of our mineral properties from unpatented mining claims, leaseholds, joint ventures or purchase option agreements which require the payment of maintenance fees, rents, purchase price installments, exploration expenditures, or other fees. If we fail to make these payments when they are due, our rights to the property may lapse. There can be no assurance that we will always make payments by the requisite payment dates. In addition, some contracts with respect to our mineral properties require development or production schedules. There can be no assurance that we will be able to meet any or all of the development or production schedules. Our ability to transfer or sell our rights to some of our mineral properties requires government approvals or third party consents, which may not be granted.
 
Our operations may be adversely affected by risks and hazards associated with the mining industry.
 
Our business is subject to a number of risks and hazards including adverse environmental effects, technical difficulties due to unusual or unexpected geologic formations, and pit wall failures.
 
Such risks could result in personal injury, environmental damage, damage to and destruction of production facilities, delays in mining and liability. For some of these risks, we maintain insurance to protect against these losses at levels consistent with our historical experience and industry practice. However, we may not be able to maintain current levels of insurance, particularly if there is a significant increase in the cost of premiums. Insurance against environmental risks is generally too expensive or not available for us and other companies in our industry, and, therefore, we do not maintain environmental insurance. To the extent we are subject to environmental liabilities, we would have to pay for these liabilities. Moreover, in the event that we are unable to fully pay for the

cost of remediating an environmental problem, we might be required to suspend or significantly curtail operations or enter into other interim compliance measures.
 
You could have difficulty or be unable to enforce certain civil liabilities on us, certain of our directors and our experts.
 
We are a Yukon Territory, Canada, corporation. Some of our assets are located outside of Canada and our head office is located in the United States. Additionally, a number of our directors and the experts named in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are residents of Canada. Although we have appointed Lackowicz, Shier & Hoffman as our agents for service of process in the Yukon Territory, it might not be possible for investors to collect judgments obtained in Canadian courts predicated on the civil liability provisions of securities legislation. It could also be difficult for you to effect service of process in connection with any action brought in the United States upon such directors and experts. Execution by United States courts of any judgment obtained against us, or any of the directors, executive officers or experts named in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, in United States courts would be limited to the assets, or the assets of such persons or corporations, as the case might be, in the United States. The enforceability in Canada of United States judgments or liabilities in original actions in Canadian courts predicated solely upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States is doubtful.

INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
 
 
  U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations
 
The following is a summary of the material anticipated U.S. federal income tax consequences regarding the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our common shares. This summary applies to you only if you acquire common shares, hold such common shares as a capital asset (that is, for investment purposes) and are eligible for benefits under the income tax convention between the U.S. and Canada signed on September 26, 1980, as amended, currently in force, which we refer to as the U.S.-Canada tax treaty. This summary is based upon the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which we refer to as the Code, regulations promulgated under the Code, administrative rulings and judicial decisions and the U.S.-Canada tax treaty, as in effect on the date of this prospectus supplement. Changes in the laws may alter the tax treatment of our common shares, possibly with retroactive effect.
 
This summary is general in nature and does not address estate taxes or the effects of any state or local taxes, or the tax consequences in jurisdictions other than the U.S.  In addition, it does not address all tax consequences that may be relevant to you in your particular circumstances, nor does it apply to you if you are a holder with a special status, such as:
 
1. a person that owns, or is treated as owning under certain ownership attribution rules, 5% or more of our voting shares;
 
2. a broker, dealer or trader in securities or currencies;
 
3. a bank, mutual fund, life insurance company or other financial institution;
 
4. a tax-exempt organization;
 
5. a qualified retirement plan or individual retirement account;
 
6. a person that holds our common shares as part of a straddle, hedge, constructive sale or other integrated transaction for tax purposes;
 
7. a partnership, S corporation, small business investment company or pass-through entity;
 
8. an investor in a partnership, S corporation, small business investment company or pass-through entity;
 
9. a person whose functional currency for tax purposes is not the U.S. dollar;
 
10. a person liable for alternative minimum tax;
 
11. a U.S. Holder (as defined below) who is a resident or deemed to be a resident in Canada pursuant to the Income Tax Act (Canada); and
 
12. a Non-U.S. Holder (as defined below) that has a trade or business in the United States, or is an individual that either has a tax home in the United States or is present within the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year.
 
If a partnership holds common shares, the tax treatment of a partner will generally depend upon the status of the partner and upon the activities of the partnership. A partner of a partnership that owns or may acquire common shares should consult the partner’s tax advisor regarding the specific tax consequences of the acquisition and ownership of our common shares.
 
It is assumed for purposes of this summary that we are not, have not at any time been and will not be after this offering a “controlled foreign corporation,” as defined in Section 957(a) of the Code.
 
YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR OWN ADVISOR REGARDING LOCAL, STATE, FOREIGN AND ESTATE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE ACQUISITION, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF OUR COMMON SHARES AND ANY SPECIAL TAX CONSEQUENCES THAT MAY APPLY IN LIGHT OF YOUR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES.
 
U.S. Holders
The following discussion applies to you if you are a “U.S. Holder.” For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of a common share that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:
 
1. a citizen or individual who is a resident of the United States for U.S. federal income tax purpoes;
 
2. a corporation or partnership created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof;
 
3. an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or
 
4. a trust (1) that validly elects to be treated as a U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or (2) the administration over which a U.S. court can exercise primary supervision and all of the substantial decisions of which one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control.
 
 
Distributions
We do not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future. However, subject to the discussion below under “— Passive foreign investment company,” the gross amount of distributions, if any, payable by us on our common shares generally would be treated as dividend income to the extent paid out of current or accumulated earnings and profits. Any such income would be treated as U.S. source income for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes to the extent paid from earnings and profits accumulated by a domestic corporation engaged in a U.S. trade or business. A distribution on our shares in excess of current or accumulated earnings and profits will be treated as a tax-free return of capital to the extent of the U.S. Holder’s adjusted basis in such shares and then as capital gain. See “Sale or other disposition of common shares.”
 
Canadian withholding tax on dividend distributions paid by us to a U.S. Holder is generally reduced to 15% pursuant to the U.S.-Canada tax treaty. U.S. Holders generally may claim the amount of any Canadian income taxes withheld either as a deduction from gross income or as a credit against U.S. federal income tax liability, subject to numerous complex limitations, which must be determined and applied on an individual basis. A U.S. Holder’s ability to claim such a credit against U.S. federal income tax liability may be limited to the extent that dividends on our common shares are treated as having a U.S. source.
 
 
  Sale or other dispositions of common shares
Subject to the discussion found under “— Passive foreign investment company” below, in general, if you sell or otherwise dispose of common shares in a taxable disposition:
 
1. you will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference (if any) between the U.S. dollar value of the amount realized on such sale or other taxable disposition and your adjusted tax basis in such common shares;
 
2. any gain or loss will be capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if your holding period for the common shares sold is more than one year at the time of such sale or other taxable disposition; and
 
3. any gain or loss will generally be treated as U.S. source income for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes, although special rules apply to U.S. Holders who have a fixed place of business outside the United States to which this gain is attributable.
 
 
Long term capital gains of individual taxpayers are generally subject to a 15% maximum U.S. federal income tax rate, for capital gains recognized before January 1, 2011. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.
 
If you are a cash basis taxpayer who receives foreign currency, such as Canadian dollars, in connection with a sale or other taxable disposition of common shares, the amount realized will be based on the U.S. dollar value of the foreign currency received with respect to such common shares, as determined on the settlement date of such sale or other taxable disposition.
 
If you are an accrual basis taxpayer who receives foreign currency in a sale or other taxable disposition of common shares, you generally may elect the same treatment required of cash basis taxpayers with respect to a sale or other taxable disposition of common shares, provided the election is applied consistently from year to year. The election may not be changed without the consent of the IRS. If you are an accrual basis taxpayer and do not elect to be treated as a cash basis taxpayer (pursuant to the U.S. Treasury Regulations applicable to foreign currency transactions) for this purpose, you might have a foreign currency gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes because of differences between the U.S. dollar value of the foreign currency received prevailing on the date of the sale or other taxable disposition of our common shares and the date of payment. Any such currency gain or loss generally will be treated as ordinary income or loss and would be in addition to gain or loss, if any, that you recognized on the sale or other taxable disposition of common shares.
 
Passive foreign investment company
U.S. Holders of common shares would be subject to a special, adverse tax regime (that would differ in certain respects from that described above) if we were (or were to become) a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We do not believe that we are a PFIC. However, whether or not we will be classified as a PFIC in any taxable year is a factual determination made annually and will depend upon our assets and our activities in each year and is therefore subject to change. There is a possibility that we could be a PFIC for 2007 or become a PFIC in the future as a result of future financial results. In general terms, we will be a PFIC for any tax year in which either (i) 75% or more of our gross income is passive income or (ii) the average percentage, by fair market value, of our assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income is 50% or more. “Passive income” includes, for example, dividends, interest, certain rents and royalties, certain gains from the sale of stock and securities, and certain gains from commodities transactions. If we were, or were to become, a PFIC for any year in which a U.S. Holder owns our common shares, gain on a disposition or deemed disposition by the U.S. Holder of our common shares, and the amount of “excess distributions”, if any, payable on our common shares, would be subject to tax at the highest marginal rates applicable to ordinary income, and would be subject to interest charges to reflect the value of the U.S. income tax deferral, unless (in certain circumstances) the U.S. Holder has timely made a “mark-to-market” election or a “qualified electing fund” election.
 
If we are a classified as a PFIC for any taxable year, the so-called “interest charge regime” of Code Section 1291 will apply to any U.S. Holder of our common shares that does not make a mark-to-market or qualifying electing fund election, as described below. Under the interest charge regime, (i) any gain the U.S. Holder realizes on the sale or other disposition of our common shares and any “excess distribution” that we make to such holder (generally, any distributions to such holder in respect of our common shares during a single taxable year that are greater than 125% of the average annual distributions received by such holder in the three preceding years or, if shorter, such holder’s holding period for the common shares), will be treated as ordinary income that was earned ratably over each day in such holder’s holding period for the common shares; (ii) the portion of such gain or distribution that is allocable to prior taxable years will, with certain exceptions, be subject to tax at the highest rate applicable to ordinary income for the relevant taxable years, regardless of the tax rate otherwise applicable to such holder; and (iii) the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed with respect of the tax attributable to each such year.
 
If we are classified as a PFIC for any taxable year and our common shares qualify as “marketable securities” under applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations, a U.S. Holder may avoid the interest charge regime by making a valid “mark-to-market” election with respect to our common shares. If a valid mark-to-market election is made, the electing U.S. Holder generally (i) will be required to recognize as ordinary income an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the fair market value of the common shares and the holder’s adjusted tax basis in such common shares at the close of each taxable year, and (ii) if the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the common shares exceeds their fair market value, will be allowed to deduct the excess as an ordinary loss to the extent of the net amount of income previously included as a result of the mark-to-market election. The interest charge regime also would not apply to any U.S. Holder who is eligible for and timely makes a valid “qualifying electing fund” (“QEF”) election, in which case such holder would be required to include in income on a current basis such holder’s pro rata share of our ordinary income and net capital gains. However, a QEF election is valid only if we provide certain annual information to our shareholders. We have not made a commitment to provide such annual information and thus it is possible that U.S. Holders will not be able to make a valid QEF election with respect to our common shares.
 
Dividends paid on shares of a PFIC are not eligible for the reduced rate of taxation of dividends received by non-corporate U.S. Holders on shares of qualifying corporations through 2010. Instead, dividends paid on shares of a PFIC are taxed at the higher rates applicable to items of ordinary income.
 
If we are a PFIC in a taxable year and own shares in another PFIC (a “lower-tier passive foreign investment company”), a U.S. Holder also will be subject to the interest charge regime with respect to its indirect ownership of the lower-tier PFIC. The mark-to-market election would not be available for any indirect ownership of a lower-tier passive foreign investment. A QEF election can be made for a lower-tier PFIC, but only if we provide the U.S. Holder with the financial information necessary to make such an election.
 
U.S. Holders who own common shares during any year in which we are a PFIC must file IRS Form 8621 with their U.S. federal income tax return for each year in which such holder owns our common shares.
 
Non-U.S. Holders
The following summary applies to you if you are a non-U.S. Holder of common shares. A non-U.S. Holder is a beneficial owner of common shares that is not a U.S. Holder.
 
Distributions
In general, you will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax or withholding tax on dividends, if any, received from us with respect to common shares, unless such income is effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business in the United States or, if a treaty applies, such income is (instead) attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base you maintain in the United States.
 
Sale or other disposition of common shares
In general, you will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any gain realized upon the sale or other disposition of common shares unless:
 
1. such gain is effectively connected with your conduct of a U.S. trade or business or, if a treaty applies, such gain is attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base you maintain in the United States; or
 
2. you are an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year of disposition or have a tax home in the United States, and certain other requirements are met.
 
Information reporting and backup withholding
U.S. Holders of our common shares may be subject to information reporting and may be subject to backup withholding currently at a rate of 28% on distributions on our common shares or on the proceeds from a sale or exchange of our common shares paid within the United States. Payments of distributions on, or the proceeds from the sale of, our common shares to or through a foreign office of a broker generally will not be subject to backup withholding, although information reporting may apply to those payments in certain circumstances. Backup withholding will generally not apply, however, to a U.S. Holder who:
 
1. furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number and certifies that the U.S. Holder is not subject to backup withholding on IRS Form W-9 (or substitute form); or
 
2. is otherwise exempt from backup withholding.
 
In general, a Non-U.S. Holder will not be subject to information reporting and backup withholding. However, a Non-U.S. Holder may be required to establish an exemption from information reporting and backup withholding by certifying the Non-U.S. Holder’s non-U.S. status on Form W-8BEN.
 
Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld from a payment to a holder under the backup withholding rules may be credited against the holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, and a holder may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by filing the appropriate claim for refund with the IRS in a timely manner.
 
SELLING SHAREHOLDERS
 
    Apollo Gold is registering 35,521,200 common shares for resale, which is composed of (i) 17,160,000 common shares issuable upon conversion of the convertible debentures, (ii) 17,160,000 common shares issuable upon exercise of warrants that accompanied the convertible debentures and (iii) 1,201,200 common shares issuable upon exercise of warrants issued to Shoreline Pacific, LLC and Regent Securities Capital Corporation, who acted as placement agents in the placement of the convertible debentures. Therefore, using the closing price per common share of Apollo Gold on the American Stock Exchange on February 23, 2007 (the closing date of the convertible debenture placement), the total dollar value of (i) the 17,160,000 common shares underlying the convertible debentures is $12,698,400, (ii) 17,160,000 common shares issuable upon exercise of warrants that accompanied the convertible debentures is $12,698,400 (although any exercise would require payment of the exercise price per share of $0.50), (iii) the 1,201,200 common shares issuable upon exercise of warrants issued to Shoreline Pacific, LLC and Regent Securities Capital Corporation is $888,888 (although any exercise would require payment of the exercise price per share of $0.50) and (iv) all 35,521,000 common shares registered for resale is $26,285,540.
 
The selling shareholders identified below are selling all of the common shares being offered under this prospectus.
 
On February 23, 2007, we completed a private placement of $8,580,000 aggregate principal amount of unsecured convertible debentures (which we sometimes refer to in this prospectus as the “Debentures”). Each $1,000 principal amount of Debentures is convertible at the option of the holder into 2,000 of our common shares, at any time until they mature and each $1,000 principal amount of Debentures was accompanied by 2,000 share purchase warrants (which we sometimes refer to in this prospectus as the “Purchase Warrants”).

We will have the option to force conversion of the Debentures under the following circumstances: (1) at any time after September 24, 2007 and prior to the maturity date if the 20-day weighted average trading price of our common shares equals or exceeds $0.90 (if we force conversion in this circumstance prior to the first anniversary of the issuance of the Debentures, we will be required to pay interest for the full first year after which no further payments will be required; if we force conversion after the one year anniversary, there will be no additional payment beyond the normal course interest amount outstanding) and (2) in the event of a change of control of Apollo.

Shoreline Pacific, LLC (which we sometimes refer to in this prospectus as “Shoreline”) and Regent Securities Capital Corporation (which we sometimes refer to in this prospectus as “Regent”) act as placement agents in connection with the issuance and sale of the Debentures and Purchase Warrants. As compensation for their services as placement agents, Regent received compensation warrants (which we sometimes refer to in this prospectus as the “Compensation Warrants”) exercisable for a two-year period into 600,600 shares (which is equal to 7.0% of the gross proceeds raised by Regent from the sale of the Debentures divided by $0.50 per share), and Shoreline received Compensation Warrants exercisable for a two-year period into 600,600 shares (which is equal to 7.0% of the gross proceeds raised by Shoreline from the sale of the Debentures divided by $0.50 per share). Each Compensation Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share of the Corporation at $0.50 per share for a two-year period from the date of issue.
 
Each of the holders of the Debentures and Regent and Shoreline is a party to a Registration Rights Agreement with us (which we sometimes refer to in this prospectus as the “Registration Rights Agreements”). Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreements, we are required to register our common shares underlying the Debentures, the Purchase Warrants and the Compensation Warrants (which we sometimes refer to in this prospectus as the “Underlying Common Shares”) for resale on a registration statement to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on or before April 4, 2007. We agreed to keep the registration statement effective until the earlier of (i) the sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or an effective registration statement of all the Underlying Common Shares or (ii) the expiration of the holding period applicable thereto under Rule 144(k) for all Underlying Common Shares were such securities not held by an affiliate of us and our legal counsel has delivered an opinion letter to such effect.
 
The table below includes information regarding ownership of our common stock by the selling shareholders named herein and the number of shares that may be sold by them under this prospectus. There are no material relationships with the selling shareholders other than those discussed herein. We have prepared this table based on information supplied to us by or on behalf of the selling shareholders on or prior to April 4, 2007.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
 
Each selling shareholder and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their common shares on the American Stock Exchange or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A selling shareholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:
 
 
·
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
 
 
·
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
 
 
·
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
 
 
·
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
 
 
·
privately negotiated transactions;
 
 
·
settlement of short sales entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part;
 
 
·
broker-dealers may agree with the selling shareholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;


 
·
through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
 
 
·
a combination of any such methods of sale; or
 
 
·
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
 
The selling shareholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
 
Broker-dealers engaged by the selling shareholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling shareholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with NASDR Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with NASDR IM-2440.
 
In connection with the sale of the common shares or interests therein, the selling shareholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common shares in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling shareholders may also sell common shares short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common shares to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling shareholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
 
The selling shareholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each selling shareholder has informed us that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the common shares. In no event shall any broker-dealer receive fees, commissions and markups which, in the aggregate, would exceed eight percent (8%).
 
Apollo is required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by us incident to the registration of the shares. We have agreed to indemnify the selling shareholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
 
Because selling shareholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act including Rule 172 thereunder. In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus. There is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the common shares by the selling shareholders.
 
We agreed to keep the registration statement effective until the earlier of (i) the sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or an effective registration statement of all the Underlying Common Shares or (ii) the expiration of the holding period applicable thereto under Rule 144(k) for all Underlying Common Shares were such securities not held by an affiliate of us and our legal counsel has delivered an opinion letter to such effect. The resale shares will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale shares may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M under the Exchange Act, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the selling shareholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M under the Exchange Act, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of the common stock by the selling shareholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling shareholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

Item 17.     Undertakings. 

(a)
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i)
To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) (§ 230.424(b) of this chapter) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;
(iii)
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
Provided, however,
(B)
Paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) of this section do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 (§239.13 of this chapter) or Form F-3 (§239.33 of this chapter) and the information required to be included in a posteffective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) (§230.424(b) of this chapter) that is part of the registration statement.
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(5)
That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:
(ii)
If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C (§230.430C of this chapter), each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying
 
II-2


on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A (§230.430A of this chapter), shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
(b)
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(h)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
