Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited financial statements have been prepared by Goldrich Mining Company (the “Company”) in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information, as well as the instructions to Form 10-Q.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial statements have been included.  Operating results for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2013.  

For further information refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Consolidation of and Accounting for Subsidiaries

At June 30, 2013, the consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the accounts of its 100% owned subsidiaries Minera LSG S.A. and Goldrich Placer LLC. Intercompany items and transactions between companies included in the consolidation are eliminated.

Accounting for Investments in Joint Ventures

For joint ventures in which the Company does not have joint control or significant influence, the cost method is used. Under the cost method, these investments are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. For those joint ventures in which there is joint control between the parties, the equity method is utilized whereby the Company’s share of the ventures’ earnings and losses is included in the statement of operations as earnings in joint ventures and its investments therein are adjusted by a similar amount. Goldrich has no significant control over its joint venture described in Note 3 Joint Venture, and therefore accounts for its investment using the cost method.

For joint ventures where the Company holds more than 50% of the voting interest and has significant influence, the joint venture is consolidated with the presentation of noncontrolling interest. In determining whether significant influence exists, the Company considers its participation in policy-making decisions and its representation on the venture’s management committee. Goldrich currently has no joint venture of this nature.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures.  Significant estimates used in preparing these financial statements include those assumed in estimating the recoverability of the cost of mining claims, accrued remediation costs and deferred tax assets and related valuation allowances.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to conform prior periods’ presentation to the current presentation.  These reclassifications have no effect on the results of operations or stockholders’ equity.

Net Loss Per Share

Basic EPS is computed as net income available to common shareholders after dividends to preferred shareholders, divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through stock options, warrants, and other convertible debt and securities.  The dilutive effect of vested convertible and exercisable securities would be:

For the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the effect of the Company’s outstanding options and common stock equivalents would have been anti-dilutive.  

Fair Value Measures

Our financial instruments consist principally of cash, receivable from equipment sales and notes payable in gold.  These instruments do not require recurring re-measurement at fair value.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For the purposes of the balance sheet and statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be a cash equivalent.

 2.

GOING CONCERN

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern.  The Company is an exploration stage company and has incurred losses since its inception.  In 2013, the Company entered into notes payable in gold, generating $571,352 net cash and received $284,629 from receivables for equipment sold in the previous year.  The Company believes that the going concern condition cannot be removed with confidence until the Company has entered into a business climate where funding of its activities is more assured.  We have sufficient cash to fund our administrative operations for approximately six months, funded by cash received from a note receivable and notes payable in gold completed during the six months ended June 30, 2013.

The Company currently has no historical recurring source of revenue and its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise capital to fund its future exploration and working capital requirements or its ability to profitably execute its mining plan.  The Company’s plans for the long-term return to and continuation as a going concern include financing the Company’s future operations through sales of its common stock and/or debt and the eventual profitable exploitation of its mining properties.  Additionally, the current capital markets and general economic conditions in the United States are significant obstacles to raising the required funds.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

GOING CONCERN, CONTINUED

Goldrich NyacAU Placer, LLC a 50/50 joint-venture company owned by Goldrich and NyacAU, LLC and operated by NyacAU, has successfully completed the work necessary to begin production at Goldrich’s Alaskan Chandalar Property in the 2013 season.  A successful mining operation may provide the long-term financial strength for the Company to remove the going concern condition in future years.  See Note 3 Joint Venture.

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.  If the going concern basis was not appropriate for these financial statements, adjustments would be necessary in the carrying value of assets and liabilities, the reported expenses and the balance sheet classifications used.

JOINT VENTURE

On May 7, 2012, the Company entered into a joint venture (“the JV”) with NyacAU, LLC (“NyacAU”), an Alaskan private company, to bring Goldrich’s Chandalar placer gold properties into production. In each case as used herein in reference to the JV, ‘production’ is as defined by the JV agreement. As part of the agreement, Goldrich and NyacAU formed a 50:50 joint venture company, Goldrich NyacAU Placer LLC (“GNP”), to operate the Chandalar placer mines, with NyacAU acting as managing partner. Goldrich has no significant control or influence over the JV, and therefore accounts for its investment using the cost method. Under the terms of the joint venture agreement (the “Agreement”), NyacAU provided a funding to the JV and the Company of loans that, subject to the timing of production, are estimated to eventually total approximately $10.5 million. The loans are to be repaid from future production. Once all loans have been repaid and working capital and budgeted reserves have been established, profits from the placer production will be paid out on a 50:50 basis to each of the JV partners. NyacAU’s funding to the JV is anticipated to be sufficient in amount to bring the placer deposits at Chandalar into commercial production.

In addition to the funding of the JV, NyacAU also purchased equipment owned by Goldrich at a discount for $900,000, netting cash of $623,980 to the Company during the prior period after the assumption of $276,020 of associated debt (see Note 6 Receivable for Equipment Sale). NyacAU also purchased 2,364,864 shares of Goldrich common stock for $350,000 ($0.148 per share) in accordance with the agreement.

NyacAU also agreed to advance Goldrich $950,000 at the greater of prime plus 2% or 10% interest for direct exploration drilling costs at the Company’s Chandalar property to be performed by Blackrock Drilling, a drilling company in which the owners of NyacAU have a majority interest. The Company did not initiate a drilling program for 2012, and the $950,000 funding for the drilling costs were not advanced by NyacAU to the Company or the drilling company.

The manager of NyacAU, was granted 300,000 five-year stock options at an exercise price of $0.20 per share from the Company’s equity incentive plan. The options were issued during the quarter ended June 30, 2012. The options were determined to have a fair value of $54,300 and were accounted for as part of the Company’s investment in the joint venture. The Company’s investment in the joint venture included $1,000 cash remitted to GNP to fund GNP’s bank account, for a total investment of $55,300 in the joint venture.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Beginning in October 2012, this Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) elected to defer a portion of his salary until the Company is successful in securing financing sufficient to fund future operations. An amount of $62,500 has been deferred and is included in related party deferred compensation at June 30, 2013. This officer also loaned the Company $21,000, which was repaid during the three months ended June 30, 2013.

A total of $11,338 interest is payable at June 30, 2013 to the Company’s former Chief Operating Officer in connection with the settlement of notes payable in gold settled in 2011 and $3,990 is payable to this officer in connection with consulting work that he provided during the three months ended June 30, 2013. An amount of $14,406 had been accrued for fees due to the Company’s Chief Financial Officer at December 31, 2012.  This total was paid during 2013, and at June 30, 2013, $10,791 had been accrued for services performed during the three months ended June 30, 2013.  These amounts are included in related party payable.

A total of $40,700 had been accrued for directors’ fees at December 31, 2012.  For the six months ended June 30, 2013, an additional $17,800 has been accrued for services performed during the period, for a total of $58,500, which is included in accounts payable.

NOTES PAYABLE IN GOLD

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2013, the Company issued notes in principal amounts totaling $820,000, less a discount of $205,000, for cash proceeds of $615,000. Under the terms of the notes, the Company agreed to deliver gold to the holders at the lesser of $1,350 per ounce of fine gold or a 25% discount to market price as calculated on the contract date and specify delivery of gold in November 2014. The notes payable in gold contracts contain standard terms regarding delivery and receipt of gold and payment of delivery costs.  The Company paid a finder’s fee of $42,000, or 7% of $600,000 of the net proceeds contractually obtained, and incurred other placement costs of $2,143, for a total of $44,143 of deferred finance costs.

Additionally, for each dollar of note payable in gold entered into during the three month period ended March 31, 2013, the holder received one half of a common stock purchase warrant.  Each whole warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.40 for a period of two years following the date of issue. A portion of the cash proceeds from the notes were allocated to the warrants, resulting in an increase in additional paid in capital and a discount on the notes payable in gold of $10,247.

The fair value of warrants issued with the notes payable in gold was estimated at the date of issuance using the Black-Scholes fair value model, which requires the use of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected volatility of the stock price, which may be difficult to estimate for small reporting companies traded on micro-cap stock exchanges. The fair value of the warrants was estimated on the issue date using the following weighted average assumptions:

NOTES PAYABLE IN GOLD, CONTINUED

The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve at the time of the grant. The expected term of warrants issued is from the date of issuance. The expected volatility is based on historical volatility. The Company has evaluated previous low occurrences of warrant forfeitures and believes that current holders of the warrants will hold them to maturity as has been experienced historically; therefore, no variable for forfeiture was used in the calculation of fair value.

In the event that the Company’s shares of common stock trade in the United States at a closing price of greater than $1.00 per share for a period of 10 consecutive trading days at any time following the issuance of the warrants, the Company may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the expiration date of the warrants by giving written notice to the holders thereof, and in such case, the warrants will expire on the 20th business day after the date on which such notice is given by the Company.

At June 30, 2013, the Company had outstanding total notes payable in gold of $820,000 less unamortized discounts of $175,987 for a net liability of $644,013, representing 511.193 ounces of fine gold deliverable at November 30, 2014.

RECEIVABLE FOR EQUIPMENT SALE

In the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company entered into an agreement to sell certain equipment to a leasing company owned by the owner of the joint venture partner of GNP (see Note 3), under which equipment with a net book value of $1,130,593 was sold to the leasing company for $878,943, net of $21,057 of discounts for implicit interest at 7% on the note. The note requires monthly principal payments of $47,438, with the balance of the note due in July 2013. The Company recognized a loss on the sale of this equipment of $251,717. The purchaser advanced cash of $244,475, assumed debt totaling $276,020 and entered into a receivable from equipment of $379,505. The Company received cash payments of $47,438 during the quarter ended December 31, 2012, and $284,630 during the six-months ended June 30, 2013, leaving a receivable, net of discounts, of $47,167 due at June 30, 2013.

Stock-Based Compensation:

During 2013, the Company issued 25,000 options to an employee.  The fair value of these options was determined using a Black Scholes model, resulting in a total fair value of $2,700 for these options.  The fair value of the options was estimated on the issue date using the following weighted average assumptions:

In 2009, the Company issued 750,000 options to the President and CEO for a term of five-years.  On February 20, 2013, the board voted to cancel the options and issue new options at the same exercise price of $0.405 to effectively extend to a total of 10-years with the same exercise price.  This resulted in an additional fair value of $37,575 for these options.

For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company recognized share-based compensation for employees of $40,275 and $16,131, respectively.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition or Plan of Operation

This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve known or unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance, or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Except for historical information, the matters set forth herein, which are forward-looking statements, involve certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ. Potential risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, unexpected changes in business and economic conditions; significant increases or decreases in gold prices; changes in interest and currency exchange rates; unanticipated grade changes; metallurgy, processing, access, availability of materials, equipment, supplies and water; results of current and future exploration and production activities; local and community impacts and issues; timing of receipt and maintenance of government approvals; accidents and labor disputes; environmental costs and risks; competitive factors, including competition for property acquisitions; and availability of external financing at reasonable rates or at all, and those set forth under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 15, 2013. Forward- looking statements can be identified by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continues” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, it cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Forward-looking statements are made based on management’s beliefs, estimates, and opinions on the date the statements are made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update such forward-looking statements if these beliefs, estimates, and opinions should change, except as required by law.

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

General

Our Chandalar, Alaska gold mining property has seen over a hundred years of intermittent mining, exploration and extraction history. There has been small production of gold from several alluvial, or placer gold streams, and from an array of small quartz veins that dot the property. However, only in very recent times is the primary potential source of the gold becoming evident. As a result of our exploration we have discovered gold mineralization disseminated in schist and in prolific micro-fractures within schist in many places and have defined a drilling target for a stratabound gold deposit at Chandalar. This type of deposit is typically large and low grade, but capable of containing significant amounts of extractable gold, some worldwide examples in the millions of ounces.

Our Chandalar gold property does not have “proven” or “probable” reserves under SEC Industry Guide 7 standards and our operations at the property and those of our joint venture with NyacAU as described below are exploratory in nature.

14

2013 Exploration Plans

Securing outside financing for exploration in the current market continues to be difficult. We did not perform any significant exploration activities in 2012 and, based on current market conditions, we do not expect to perform any significant exploration activities in 2013.

2013 Planned Mining Activities by Joint Venture

In 2012, we entered into a joint-venture (“the JV”) with NyacAU, LLC. (“NyacAU”), an Alaskan private company, to bring Goldrich’s Chandalar placer gold properties in Alaska into production. In each case as used herein in reference to the JV, ‘production’ is as defined by the JV agreement. Under the terms of the joint venture agreement (the “Agreement”), NyacAU agreed to provide a funding package of loans and equity that, subject to the timing of production, are estimated to total approximately $12.7 million. The loans are to be repaid from future production.

As part of the agreement, we formed a 50:50 joint venture company with NyacAU called Goldrich NyacAU Placer LLC (“GNP”), to operate the Chandalar placer deposits, with NyacAU acting as managing partner. Once all loans have been repaid and working capital and budgeted reserves have been established, profits from the placer production will be paid out on a 50:50 basis to each of the JV partners. The agreement covers production from all placer deposits on Goldrich’s Chandalar property including, but not limited to, Little Squaw Creek, Big Squaw Creek, Big Creek and Tobin Creek, as well as all future properties within two miles of these claims or within the creek drainages to their termination that come from the Chandalar claim block.

NyacAU’s funding includes effectively non-interest bearing loans to the JV, sufficient in amount to bring the placers at Chandalar into commercial production, enter into capital leases and fund equipment purchases. The total amount of funding is currently estimated to be $8.9 million, subject to timing of production, consisting of approximately $5.0 million for start-up costs, $3.0 million for capital expenditures for mining equipment as well as $0.9 million for lease/purchase payments of mining equipment to Goldrich. The loans will earn interest at the applicable short-term federal rate, currently 0.25%, but are effectively non-interest bearing loans as Goldrich will receive a special payment from the JV equal to the interest paid to NyacAU on this loan.

NyacAU also agreed to advance Goldrich $950,000 at the greater of prime plus 2% or 10% interest for direct drilling costs with Blackrock Drilling, a drilling company in which the owners of NyacAU have a majority interest. The balance of the funding package, $350,000, was provided by an equity financing for the purchase of common stock from Goldrich. We did not initiate a drilling program for 2012, and the $950,000 funding for the drilling costs were not advanced to us or the drilling company. The $350,000 of equity financing was completed, resulting in issuance of 2,364,864 shares of common stock at a price of $0.148 per share, the 90-day weighted volume average price of Goldrich stock on the last business day proceeding the signing of the definitive documents for the JV agreement.

In addition to the funding noted above, NyacAU had the option to lend the JV $250,000 to purchase an existing 2% royalty agreement on all production from certain Goldrich mining claims. The loan would carry interest at the greater of prime plus 2% or 10% and would be repaid from Goldrich’s portion of production. Goldrich would also have the exclusive right to purchase the royalty at any time. The royalty would be extinguished upon payback of the loan or purchase by Goldrich. The JV exercised the option to purchase the royalty on August 13, 2012, and the 2% royalty was purchased for the contracted $250,000, funded by the loan from NyacAU.

15

A summary of funding provided by or estimated to be funded by NyacAU is as follows:

(1)

In the fourth quarter of 2012, we entered into an agreement to sell certain equipment to a leasing company owned by the owner of NyacAU, under which equipment with a net book value of $1,130,593 was sold to the leasing company for $878,943, net of $21,057 discounts for implicit interest at 7% on the note. The note requires monthly principal payments of $47,438, with the balance of the note due in July 2013. The Company recognized a loss on the sale of this equipment of $251,717. Additionally, the purchaser assumed equipment notes totaling $276,020 secured by the equipment. The Company received $291,913 cash during the year ended December 31, 2012, leaving a net receivable of $324,476 due at December 31, 2012.  During the six-months ended June 30, 2013, the Company received $284,629, leaving a net receivable of $47,167.

(2)

GNP leases the equipment from a NyacAU affiliate. The lease rate for the equipment is basically calculated using the depreciated book value for accounting purposes as of December 31, 2011, or the purchase date if later, plus a 15% annual return, amortized over a five-year term.  At the conclusion of the lease, GNP has the option to purchase the equipment by paying an amount equal to 10% of the purchase price.

(3)

As part of his service agreement, the manager of NyacAU was granted 300,000 five-year stock options at an exercise price of $0.20 per share from Goldrich’s employee stock incentive program. The options were issued during the quarter ended June 30, 2012, with the $54,300 fair value of the options accounted for as an increase in our investment in the joint venture.

The timing of repayment of the amount to be paid back from production will be affected by timing of gold production by the joint venture. The JV will commence payments to NyacAU as soon as production begins.

Our primary exploration asset is the hard-rock exploration target at Chandalar and the terms of the Agreement ensure we will retain access to all of its properties for exploration purposes. The JV entered into a lease of the mining rights to placer gold on Goldrich’s Chandalar properties, but a formula is provided for Goldrich to purchase back these rights if the property is needed for hard-rock mining or to the extent hard-rock exploration significantly interferes with placer mining.

16

GNP completed mine construction at Chandalar during 2012 but modified its mining plan in 2013 for expansion. Gold production at Goldrich’s Chandalar property will normally be from mid-June to mid-September. Production in 2013 is expected to begin in mid-August . The production goal for 2013 is subject to the modifications of the new mining plan and is approximately 10,000 ounces of fine gold for 2014 and per season thereafter. Total production could substantially increase if a second gold recovery plant is installed. The construction of a second plant has already begun. All costs up to commercial production are required to be funded by NyacAU and will be paid back from cash flow from gold production.

On May 9, 2013, we reported GNP has successfully completed mobilizing equipment and supplies needed for its placer drill program and placer mining operation for the 2013 summer season at Chandalar. Equipment and supplies with an approximate value of $4 million were delivered over the 90-mile winter trail between Coldfoot, Alaska and Chandalar. Total investment in equipment and assets mobilized to the site for both exploration and mining activities, including equipment previously purchased, now exceeds $8 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We are an exploration stage company and have incurred losses since our inception. We anticipate that we will incur approximately $640,000 for general operating expenses over the next 12 months. As of June 30, 2013, we currently have sufficient cash to support the Company for approximately 5 months.

The $12.7 million financing described above in Joint Venture Agreement included $950,000 for an exploration program and general operating costs in the form of financed drilling costs. The exploration program, including this funding, was deferred due to lack of funds to fully execute the planned drill program in 2012 and 2013.

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2013, the Company issued notes in principal amounts totaling $820,000, less a discount of $205,000, for cash proceeds of $615,000. Under the terms of the notes, the Company agreed to deliver gold to the holders at the lesser of $1,350 or a 25% discount to market price as calculated on the contract date and specify delivery of gold in November 2014. The notes payable in gold contracts contain standard terms regarding delivery and receipt of gold and payment of delivery costs.  The Company paid a finder’s fee of $42,000, or 7% of $600,000 of the net proceeds and incurred other placement costs of $2,143, for a total of $44,143 of deferred finance costs.

Additionally, for each dollar of note payable in gold entered into during the three month period ended March 31, 2013, the holder received one half of a common stock purchase warrant.  Each whole warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.40 for a period of two years following the date of issue. The Company recognized an additional discount of $10,247 for the fair value of the warrants.

In the event that our shares of common stock trade in the United States at a closing price of greater than $1.00 per share for a period of 10 consecutive trading days at any time following the issuance of the warrants, the Company may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the expiration date of the warrants by giving written notice to the holders thereof, and in such case, the warrants will expire on the 20th business day after the date on which such notice is given by the Company.

At June 30, 2013, the Company had outstanding total notes payable in gold of $820,000 less unamortized discounts of $175,987 for a net liability of $644,013, representing 511.193 ounces of fine gold deliverable at November 30, 2014.

During the six-months ended June 30, 2013, we generated $571,352 net cash from the notes payable in gold and received $284,629 from receivables for equipment in the previous year.

The Company plans to enter into additional financing through debt and/or equity placements. Failure to raise needed financing could result in us having to scale back or discontinue exploration activities or some or all of our business operations.

17

Current capital markets, the fluctuation of gold prices and significant pull back in risk tolerance financing in most of the developed world caused by general economic conditions in much of the developed world may be obstacles to raising the required financing. We believe we will be able to secure sufficient financing for further operations and exploration activities of our Company but we cannot give assurance we will be successful in attracting financing on terms acceptable to us, if at all. To increase its access to financial markets, Goldrich intends to seek a listing of its shares on a recognized stock exchange in Canada in addition to its listing on the FINRA OTCBB in the United States.

Going Concern

The audit opinion and notes that accompany our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012, disclose a “going concern” qualification as to our ability to continue in business. The consolidated financial statements for the year then ended have been prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern. Such assumption contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012, and the quarter ended June 30, 2013, we incurred losses and negative cash flows from operating activities for the periods then ended. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. We have sufficient cash to fund our administrative operations for approximately five months, funded by cash received from a note receivable and notes payable in gold completed during the six-months ended June 30, 2013.

With the exception of gold sales revenue in 2009 and 2010, we currently have no historical recurring source of revenue sufficient to support on-going operations. Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet our obligations on a timely basis, to attain profitability in a gold extraction operation, or to obtain additional financing as may be required. Potential sources of cash, or relief of demand for cash, include additional external debt, the sale of shares of our stock, or alternative methods such as mergers, joint ventures or sale of our assets. No assurances can be given, however, that we will be able to obtain any of these potential sources of cash.

Results of Operations for the Quarter ended June 30, 2013

On June 30, 2013 we had total liabilities of $1,354,439 and total assets of $1,616,906. This compares to total liabilities of $833,890 and total assets of $1,663,952 on December 31, 2012. As of June 30, 2013, our liabilities consist of $644,013 for notes payable in gold, net of discounts, $330,352 for environmental remediation and asset retirement obligations, $269,372 of trade payables and accrued liabilities, $88,619 due to related parties, and $22,083 for dividends payable. Of these liabilities, $380,074 is due within 12 months. The increase in liabilities compared to December 31, 2012 is largely due to the gold notes entered into during the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The increase in total assets was due to the cash received from notes payable in gold and increases in prepaid expenses for insurance premiums paid, offset by the decreases in the receivable from the sale of equipment due to payments received and depreciation taken on capital equipment. At the end of the quarter, we had cash available to meet short-term needs in paying trade accounts payable.

On June 30, 2013, we had working capital of $146,975 and stockholders’ equity of $262,467 compared to negative working capital of $27,002 and stockholders’ equity of $830,062 for the year ended December 31, 2012. Working capital increased due to the receipt of cash from the notes payable in gold, offset changes in trade accounts payable as proceeds of the notes payable were used to pay trade vendors. Stockholders’ equity decreased due to the net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

18

During the six-months ended June 30, 2013, we used cash from operating activities of $511,931 compared to $684,141 for same period of 2012. The decrease in cash used is due to the deferral of exploration activities. As of June 30, 2013, we had accumulated approximately $21.1 million in federal and state net operating losses, respectively, which may enable us to generate approximately $21.1 million in net income prior to incurring any significant income tax obligation.  The net operating losses will expire in various amounts from 2013 through 2032.

During the six-months ended June 30, 2013, cash of $284,629 was provided by investing activities compared to cash used of $56,347 in 2012. We received cash of $284,629 from the receivable arising from the sale of equipment during the year ended December 31, 2012. We purchased no additional capital equipment in the June 2013 quarter, compared to purchases of $56,347 in the June 2012 quarter.

During the six-months ended June 30, 2013, cash of $550,352 was provided by financing activities primarily from the proceeds of notes payable in gold, compared to cash received of $229,844 during the six-months ended June 30, 2012 from issuance of common stock and warrants, partially offset by principal payments on equipment notes payable. Those equipment notes were assumed by the purchaser of the equipment.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Inflation

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

Contractual Obligations

We have no contractual obligations

Critical Accounting Policies

We have identified our critical accounting policies, the application of which may materially affect the financial statements, either because of the significance of the financials statement item to which they relate, or because they require management’s judgment in making estimates and assumptions in measuring, at a specific point in time, events which will be settled in the future. The critical accounting policies, judgments and estimates which management believes have the most significant effect on the financial statements are set forth below:

§

Estimates of the recoverability of the carrying value of our mining and mineral property assets. We use publicly available pricing or valuation estimates of comparable property and equipment to assess the carrying value of our mining and mineral property assets. However, if future results vary materially from the assumptions and estimates used by us, we may be required to recognize an impairment in the assets’ carrying value.

§

Expenses and disclosures associated with accounting for stock-based compensation. We used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair market value of stock options issued under our stock-based compensation plan, which determines the recognition of associated compensation expense. This valuation model requires the use of judgment in applying assumptions of risk-free interest rate, stock price volatility and the expected life of the options. While we believe we have applied appropriate judgment in the assumptions and estimates, variations in judgment in applying assumptions and estimates used in this valuation could have a material effect upon the reported operating results.

20

§

Estimates of our environmental liabilities. Our potential obligations in environmental remediation, asset retirement obligations or reclamation activities are considered critical due to the assumptions and estimates inherent in accruals of such liabilities, including uncertainties relating to specific reclamation and remediation methods and costs, the application and changing of environmental laws, regulations and interpretations by regulatory authorities.

§

Accounting for Investments in Joint Ventures. For joint ventures in which we do not have joint control or significant influence, the cost method is used. Under the cost method, these investments are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. For those joint ventures in which there is joint control between the parties and in which we have significant influence, the equity method is utilized whereby our share of the ventures’ earnings and losses is included in the statement of operations as earnings in joint ventures and our investments therein are adjusted by a similar amount. We have no significant influence over our joint venture described in Note 3 Joint Ventures to the financial statements, and therefore account for our investment using the cost method. For joint ventures where we hold more than 50% of the voting interest and has significant influence, the joint venture is consolidated with the presentation of a non-controlling interest. In determining whether significant influence exists, we consider our participation in policy-making decisions and our representation on the venture’s management committee. We currently have no joint venture of this nature.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

At the end of the period covered by this report, 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 design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a – 15(e) and Rule 15d – 15(e) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended).
