Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited financial statements have been prepared by 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-month period ended March 31, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018.  

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, 2017.

Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred losses since its inception and does not have sufficient cash to fund normal operations and meet debt obligations for the next 12 months without deferring payment on certain current liabilities and/or raising additional funds.

The Company currently has no historical recurring source of revenue and in 2016 received its first cash distribution from the joint venture (Note 3). If these distributions increase in future years and the Company profitably executes its business plan, its ability to continue as a going concern may improve and become less dependent on the Company’s ability to raise capital to fund its future exploration and working capital requirements. The Company’s plans for the long-term return to and continuation as a going concern include the profitable exploitation of its mining properties and financing the Company’s future operations through sales of its common stock and/or debt.

These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

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 were 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.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to conform prior year’s data to the current presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on the results of reported operations or stockholders’ deficit or cash flows.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

We are authorized to issue 250,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.10 par value per share. At March 31, 2018, there were 134,107,809 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding.

For the periods ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the effect of the Company’s outstanding preferred shares, options and warrants, totaling 103,386,073 and 94,263,712, respectively, would have been anti-dilutive.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED:

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 and in which the Company has significant influence, the equity method is utilized whereby the Company’s share of the venture’s 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 influence over its joint venture described in Note 4 Joint Venture, and therefore accounts for its investment using the cost method. The Company recognizes as income, funds received that are distributed from net accumulated earnings of the joint venture.

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 a non-controlling 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.

The Company periodically assesses its investments in joint ventures for impairment. If management determines that a decline in fair value is other than temporary it will write-down the investment and charge the impairment against operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09 Revenue Recognition, replacing guidance currently codified in Subtopic 605-10 Revenue Recognition-Overall. The new ASU establishes a new five step principles-based framework in an effort to significantly enhance comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions, and capital markets. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date. ASU No. 2015-14 deferred the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09 until annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. We adopted ASU No. 2014-09 as of January 1, 2018 using the modified-retrospective transition approach. There was no impact of adoption of the update to our consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

We performed an assessment of the impact of implementation of ASU No. 2014-09, and concluded it does not change the timing of revenue recognition or amounts of revenue recognized compared to how we recognize revenue under our current policies. Adoption of ASU No. 2014-09 involves additional disclosures, where applicable, on (i) contracts with customers, (ii) significant judgments and changes in judgments in determining the timing of satisfaction of performance obligations and the transaction price, and (iii) assets recognized for costs to obtain or fulfill contracts.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842). The update modifies the classification criteria and requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for most leases. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of implementing this update on the consolidated financial statements.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED:

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15 Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. The update provides guidance on classification for cash receipts and payments related to eight specific issues. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of the update on January 1, 2018 had no impact on the consolidated financial statements

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18 Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash. The update requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of the update on January 1, 2018 had no impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, we consider all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

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, asset retirement obligations, stock-based compensation, and deferred tax assets and related valuation allowances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Property, Equipment, and Accumulated Depreciation

Property and equipment are stated at cost, which is determined by cash paid or fair value of the shares of the Company’s common stock issued. The Company’s property and equipment are located on the Company’s unpatented state mining claims located in the Chandalar mining district of Alaska, with only a minor portion located in Spokane, WA, consisting of office equipment.

All property and equipment purchased prior to 2009 are fully depreciated. The Company’s equipment is located at the Chandalar property in Alaska, with a small amount of office equipment located at Company offices in Spokane, Washington. Assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis. Improvements, which significantly increase an asset’s value or significantly extend its useful life are capitalized and depreciated over the asset’s remaining useful life.

When a fixed asset is sold at a price either higher or lower than its carrying amount, or undepreciated cost at the date of disposal, the difference between the sale proceeds over the carrying amount is recognized as gain, while a loss is recognized when the carrying amount exceeds the sale proceeds. The gain or loss is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED:

Mining Properties, Claims, and Royalty Option

The Company capitalizes costs for acquiring mineral properties, claims and royalty option and expenses, costs to maintain mineral rights and leases as incurred. Should a property reach the production stage, these capitalized costs would be amortized using the units-of-production method on the basis of periodic estimates of ore reserves. Mineral properties are periodically assessed for impairment of value, and any subsequent losses are charged to operations at the time of impairment. If a property is abandoned or sold, its capitalized costs are charged to operations.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are recognized in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740 Income Taxes, whereby deferred income tax liabilities or assets at the end of each period are determined using the tax rate expected to be in effect when the taxes are actually paid or recovered. A valuation allowance is recognized on deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some or all of these deferred tax assets will not be realized. ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.

Revenue Recognition

The Company does not have joint control or significant influence over the joint venture; therefore, distributions from our joint venture are recognized using the cost method. In accordance with ASU No. 2014-09, the Company has determined that our revenue does not arise from contracts with customers, does not involve satisfaction of any performance obligations on the part of the Company, or require company assets to be recognized or applied to determine costs to obtain or fulfill any contract generating revenue.

The Company’s revenue is generating through profit percentage split through its non-controlling ownership of the joint venture. Revenues are derived as a percentage of joint venture profits, which are not reasonably estimable and cannot be determined by the joint venture until after the completion of the accounting for each annual mining season, which occurs in the fourth quarter of each year. At the conclusion of 2017 and 2016, Goldrich was allocated a distribution from its joint venture partner of $218,770 and $67,580, respectively. See note 3, Joint Venture.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company periodically issues common shares or options to purchase shares of the Company’s common shares to its officers, directors or other parties. These issuances are recorded at fair value. The Company uses a Black Scholes valuation model for determining fair value of options to purchase shares, and compensation expense is recognized ratably over the vesting periods on a straight line basis. Compensation expense for grants that vest immediately are recognized in the period of grant.

Exploration Costs

Exploration costs are expensed in the period in which they occur.

Derivatives

The Company measures derivative contracts as assets or liabilities based on their fair value. Gains or losses resulting from changes in the fair value of derivatives in each period are recorded in current operating results. None of the Company’s derivative contracts qualify for hedge accounting. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for speculative trading purposes.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED:

Remediation

The Company’s operations have been, and are subject to, standards for mine reclamation that have been established by various governmental agencies. The Company records the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability in the period in which the Company incurs a legal obligation for the retirement of tangible long-lived assets. A corresponding asset is also recorded and depreciated over the life of the long-lived asset using a units of production method. After the initial measurement of the asset retirement obligation, the liability will be adjusted at the end of each reporting period to reflect changes in the estimated future cash flows underlying the obligation. Determination of any amounts recognized is based upon numerous estimates and assumptions, including future retirement costs, future inflation rates and the credit-adjusted risk-free interest rates.

For non-operating properties, the Company accrues costs associated with environmental remediation obligations when it is probable that such costs will be incurred and they are reasonably estimable. Such costs are based on management’s estimate of amounts expected to be incurred when the remediation work is performed.

Fair Value Measurements

When required to measure assets or liabilities at fair value, the Company uses a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used. The Company determines the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements in their entirety fall. The categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Level 1 uses quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, Level 2 uses significant other observable inputs, and Level 3 uses significant unobservable inputs. The amount of the total gains or losses for the period are included in earnings that are attributable to the change in unrealized gains or losses relating to those assets and liabilities still held at the reporting date.

During 2018 and 2017, the Company determined fair value on a recurring basis and non-recurring basis as follows:

The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including notes payable, approximate fair value at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

JOINT VENTURE

On May 7, 2012, the Company entered into a joint venture with NyacAU, LLC (“NyacAU”), an Alaskan private company, to bring Goldrich’s Chandalar placer gold properties into production as defined in the joint venture agreement. 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 Placer, LLC (“Goldrich Placer”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Goldrich and NyacAU (together the “Members”) 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.

JOINT VENTURE, CONTINUED:

Under the terms of the joint venture agreement (the “Agreement”), NyacAU provided funding to the JV. The loans are to be repaid from future production. According to the Agreement, on at least an annual basis, the JV shall allocate and distribute all revenue (whether in cash or as gold) generated from the JV’s placer operation in the following order:

1.

Operating Expenses. GNP will first pay all Operating Expenses as defined in the Operating Agreement for placer mining operations at the Claims for the current mining year. Until Commercial Production is achieved, GNP will drawdown or use a line of credit from NyacAU (“LOC1”) to fund payment of the Operating Expenses and repay LOC1 to the extent of the current year's Operating Expenses.

2.

Members' Distribution - Ten Percent (10%) Portion. After payment of Operating Expenses, GNP will distribute in kind twenty percent (20%) of the remaining gold produced, equally, ten percent (10%) to NyacAU as a Member of GNP and ten percent (10%) to Goldrich as a Member of GNP; provided, however, that, for so long as any secondary line of credit from NyacAU to GNP (“LOC2”) or loan from NyacAU to GNP to purchase the Jumbo Basin royalty (“Loan3”) are not paid in full, GNP shall retain one hundred percent (100%) of this distribution to Goldrich and shall apply such funds as payment to reduce the balance of LOC2 and Loan3 until they are paid in full. LOC2 has never been funded or utilized. At December 31, 2107 and at March 31, 2018, $95,239 of Loan3 remains unpaid.

3.

LOC1 Payments. After payment of Operating Expenses and the Members' distribution, GNP will apply any remaining revenue to reduce the remaining balance of LOC1, if any, until it is paid in full.

4.

Reserves. After payment of Operating Expenses, the Members' distribution, and payment of LOC1, the Company may fund Reserves in an amount that is consistent with the annual budget.

5.

Member Distributions, LOC2 Payments and Loan3 Recovery. After payment of Operating Expenses, the Members', payment of LOC1, and funding of any Reserves, from any remaining gold production or revenue, the Company will distribute fifty percent (50%) to NyacAU as a Member of GNP and fifty percent (50%) to Goldrich as a Member of GNP; provided, however, that, for so long as LOC2 or Loan3 are not paid in full, GNP shall retain one hundred percent (100%) of the distribution to Goldrich and shall apply such funds as payment to reduce the balance of LOC2 and Loan3 until they are paid in full.

Substantially all required allocations and distributions are made no later than October 31st of each year. At the time of distribution and the proceeds are identifiable and the likelihood of collection is determined, the Company recognizes joint venture revenue.

On June 23, 2015, the Company raised net proceeds of $1.1 million through the sale of 12.5% of the cash flows Goldrich Placer receives in the future from its interest in GNP (“Distribution Interest”), paid in cash under items #2 and #5, to Chandalar Gold, LLC (“CGL”) and GVC Capital, LLC, (“GVC”), both of which are non-related entities. Goldrich Placer retained its ownership of its 50% interest in GNP but, after the transaction, subject to the terms of the GNP operating agreement, Goldrich Placer will effectively receive approximately 44%, CGL will effectively receive 6% (12% of Goldrich Placer’s 50% of GNP = 6%) and GVC will effectively receive 0.25% (0.5% of Goldrich Placer’s 50% of GNP = 0.25%) of any distributions produced by GNP. As of December 31, 2017 and March 31, 2018, an amount of $35,794 has been accrued for this 12.5% and is included in accrued liabilities.

NOTES PAYABLE

On February 13, 2018, the Company announced a senior secured notes financing for a possible total net proceeds of $2,200,000. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company received the first tranche of the notes for gross proceeds of $1,794,737, discounted at 5%, resulting in net proceeds of $1,705,000. The financing remains open for an additional $495,000 of net proceeds.

The secured senior notes mature on October 31, 2018, have an interest rate of 15% per annum, calculated on a 360-day year and payable monthly, and were issued net of a 5% original issue discount. A total of 9,422,359 five-year Class T warrants were issued to the lenders. The warrants have an exercise price of $0.03 and expire on November 30, 2022. The Company paid finder fees totaling $30,000 to related party entities, and incurred $21,000 of other finance and placement costs. Interest of $83,450 was expensed during the quarter ended March 31, 2018, and $35,224 is accrued at March 31, 2018 and is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Interest due at March 31, 2018 was timely paid.

The senior secured notes are secured by distributions from the GNP joint venture. The notes rank junior to:

(i)

Any GNP Distributions that are only deemed to be made by GNP to Goldrich Placer pursuant to the Operating Agreement but are then withheld pursuant to Section 10.1 of the GNP Operating Agreement; and

(ii)

Any GNP Distributions that are made by the GNP to Goldrich Placer pursuant to the GNP Operating Agreement but are then withheld to pay Loan 3 and 2012 reclamation expenses; and 

(iii)

Any GNP Distributions that are made by the GNP to Goldrich Placer pursuant to the Operating Agreement but are then used to pay legal fees relating to mediation/arbitration concerning distributions due to Goldrich Placer from GNP; and

(iv)

Any GNP Distributions that are part of the Chandalar Sale, described below; and 

(v)

Any GNP Distributions that are part of the GVC Sale, described below; and

(vi)

Any GNP Distributions which are secured by the Company’s outstanding Senior Gold Forward Sales Contracts.

The Chandalar Sale relates to a purchase agreement, dated as of June 19, 2015, whereby the Company, through its subsidiary Goldrich Placer, sold and assigned to CGL 12% of any and all GNP Distributions to Goldrich Placer, subject to the limitations set forth in the purchase agreement and the related assignment. See Note 3 Joint Venture. The GVC Sale relates to a purchase agreement, dated as of May 22, 2015, whereby the Company, through its subsidiary Goldrich Placer, sold and assigned to GVC 0.50% of any and all GNP Distributions to Goldrich Placer, subject to the limitations set forth in the purchase agreement and the related assignment. See Note 3 Joint Venture.

Repayment of all amounts owed under the notes are guaranteed by Goldrich Placer, which in turn owns a 50% interest in Goldrich NyacAU Placer LLC. See Note 3 Joint Venture. The notes contain standard default provisions, including failure to pay interest and principal when due. Under the terms of the notes, any additional loans will be issued at a 5% discount and, for each loan, the Company will issue 5.25 Class T warrants for each dollar loaned under this agreement.

NOTES PAYABLE, CONTINUED:

At March 31, 2018, the Company had outstanding total notes payable of $1,794,737 less remaining unamortized discounts of $194,445 for a net liability of $1,600,292. At December 31, 2017, the Company had outstanding total notes payable of $1,794,737 less remaining unamortized discounts of $280,747 for a net liability of $1,513,990.

6.

NOTES PAYABLE IN GOLD

During 2013, the Company issued notes payable in gold totaling $820,000, less a discount of $205,000, for 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.

On November 30, 2017, the Company renegotiated terms with the holders. A default condition arising from the non-delivery of the gold in 2017 was alleviated by agreements with the three note holders to extend the delivery date of gold to November 30, 2018, with the following terms:

·

Fifteen percent (15%), or 76 ounces, of the required quantity of gold under the contract, prior to amendment one in 2014, amendment two in 2015, and amendment three in 2016, which was originally due on the Delivery Date of November 30, 2014, was delivered on November 30, 2017. In lieu of gold, the Company could elect to satisfy the delivery of the deliverable required quantity by paying, an amount equal to the deliverable required quantity times the greater of the original purchase price or the index price for the day preceding the date of payment. The Company paid a total of $97,295 in cash to satisfy this renegotiated term.

·

The Company agreed to pay interest on the value of the delayed delivery required quantity of $341,543, at an annual non-compounding percentage rate of 10% payable quarterly with any remaining interest due and payable on the delivery date.

·

If the delivery date index price on November 30, 2018 is less than the original purchase price, an additional adjusted required amount shall be delivered by December 31, 2018.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2018, using a forward gold price of $1,341, the Company recognized a change in fair value of $1,828 in accounting for these notes as derivatives. The fair value was calculated using the market approach with Level 2 inputs. At March 31, 2018, the Company had outstanding total notes payable in gold of $357,777, representing 266.788 ounces of fine gold deliverable at November 30, 2018. At December 31, 2017, the Company had outstanding total notes payable in gold of $355,950, representing 266.788 ounces of fine gold. Interest due at March 31, 2018 was timely paid.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES, CONTINUED:

The Company has a carryover to 2018 of approximately $22.3 million to satisfy its annual labor requirements. This carryover expires in the years 2018 through 2023 if unneeded to satisfy requirements in those years.

The Company challenged certain accounting treatment of capital leases, allocations of tax losses, charges to the JV for funding costs related to the JV manager’s financing, related-party transactions, and other items of dispute in a mediation that was unsuccessful in reaching an agreement. As a result, the Company has filed for arbitration before a panel of three independent arbitrators to address these items. A successful arbitration may result in increases to the 2017 and 2016 distributions under Item 2 of Note 3 Joint Venture, and revise the computation of these distributions in 2018 and future years. No assurance has been given that the arbitration will be successful.

In addition, GNP must meet the Minimum Production Requirements as defined by the operating agreement. The Minimum Production Requirement for each year is determined by the price of gold on December 1 in the preceding year. The Minimum Production Requirements for 2016, 2017 and 2018 are 1,100, 1,200 and 1,300 ounces of fine gold, respectively, distributable to each of Goldrich and NyacAU.

The value of the combined 2016 and 2017 Minimum Production Requirements has been calculated at $2,981,950 using the price of gold at $1,296.50 per ounce at December 31, 2017. However, no receivable has been recorded for this amount due to the potential failure of the JV to meet the Minimum Production Requirements by 2018, which may force the dissolution of the JV and may make the collection of this amount uncertain.

The Minimum Production Requirements for 2016, 2017 and 2018 must substantially be paid by October 31, 2018 and, for each year thereafter, the annual Minimum Production Requirements shall be met if GNP distributes an average of a minimum of fifteen hundred (1,500 ounces) per year to each member of GNP over a rolling three-year period, subject to modification based on the price of gold. If the price of gold falls below $1,500 per ounce, the annual Minimum Production Requirement of 1,500 ounces of gold will be reduced one hundred (100) ounces for each one hundred dollars per ounce decrease in the price, to the minimum price of one thousand dollars ($1,000). If the price of gold falls below one thousand dollars ($1,000) per ounce on December 1 in any year, there will be no minimum production required for the next year and such year will be eliminated from the average minimum calculation. If the Minimum Production Requirements are not met, GNP shall be dissolved unless agreed in writing by the members.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In May 2018, the Company received a second tranche of the Notes Payable financing for gross proceeds of $136,842, discounted at 5%, resulting in net proceeds of $130,000.

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

Overview

Our Chandalar, Alaska gold mining property has seen over a hundred years of intermittent mining exploration and extraction history. There has been small extraction 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 source of the gold becoming evident. As a result of our exploration we have discovered gold in prolific micro-fractures within schist in many places and have petrographic and geochemical evidence linking these and larger vein-hosted gold occurrences to an intrusive source. We are currently defining drilling targets for a hard-rock (lode) gold deposit in an area of interest approximately 1,800 feet wide and over five miles

15

long, possibly underlain by a granitic, mineralized intrusion. Exploration therefore has taken on two directions; one toward defining a low-grade, large tonnage body of mineralization running beneath the headwaters of Little Squaw Creek, the other a deeper, larger mineralized body from which mineralizing fluids have migrated through Chandalar country rock. Our main focus continues to be the exploration of these hard-rock targets; however, weak financial markets prevented us from obtaining funds for any significant exploration in 2012 and 2013. It appears financial markets may be improving and we were successful in raising funds for a limited exploration program in 2014 and reclamation work in 2015.

Because of the weak financial markets suffered by the mining industry in recent years, we endeavored to develop our placer properties as a source of internal cash to protect us from future market fluctuations and to provide funds for future exploration. In 2012, Goldrich and NyacAU LLC (“NyacAU”) formed Goldrich NyacAU Placer LLC (“GNP”), a 50/50 joint-venture company, managed by NyacAU, to mine Goldrich’s various placer properties at Chandalar.

GNP produced approximately 12,340 oz. of fine gold in 2017 compared to approximately 8,227 fine oz. in 2016 and approximately 3,600 oz. of fine gold in 2015. GNP showed a profit of $2,410,873 and $683,765 in 2017 and 2016, respectively; however, these amounts may change subject to the results of the arbitration in which Goldrich and NyacAU are currently involved. All costs up to commercial production (as defined in the joint venture agreement) are required to be funded by NyacAU and will be paid back from cash flow from gold production (as defined in the joint venture agreement).

During 2017, GNP also completed a sonic drill program and drilled 231 holes totaling 14,271 feet. Goldrich is in the process of reviewing the drilling results.

In addition to the drilling completed by GNP, we have completed approximately 15,000 feet of drilling to date on the upper half of the Little Squaw Creek placer project and outlined 10.5 million cubic yards of mineralized material, at an average head grade of 0.025 ounces of gold per cubic yard for an estimated total of approximately 250,000 contained ounces. The mineralized material at Chandalar is not a mineral reserve as defined in SEC Industry Guide 7. Based on a targeted extraction rate of 20,000 ounces of gold per year and the mineralized material drilled out to date, the Little Squaw Creek mine would have a mine life of approximately 12 years. Little Squaw Creek is one of seven potential placer targets on the Chandalar property and is open to expansion. Mining operations at the Chandalar mine utilize conventional gravity technologies for gold recovery. All plants will employ a recirculating closed-loop water system to minimize water usage and protect the environment.

Chandalar Mine

During 2016, the plant ran from the end of May and continued through the middle of September. A total of approximately 10,209 ounces of alluvial gold, equivalent to 8,227 ounces of fine gold, were extracted. Total revenue was $10 million and total production represents an increase of 117% over the 2015 mining season.

During 2017, the plant ran from the end of May and continued through the end of September. A total of approximately 14,991 ounces of alluvial gold, equivalent to 12,340 ounces of fine gold, were extracted. Total revenue was $15.56 million and total production represents an increase of 47% over the 2016 mining season.

2018 Production Forecast:

The GNP budget provided to Goldrich estimates total 2018 production will be approximately 21,000 ounces of fine gold. In 2018, GNP management plans to run the plant for 100 days at 20 hours per day. Subject to weather, the plant normally runs from June to mid-September of each year. In 2017, the plant ran from approximately June 1st to September 27^th.

In addition to plant production days, the GNP budget included a winter trail to transport additional equipment and supplies from February through mid-April, as well as late-winter mining crews to strip overburden.

16

Included in the equipment GNP transported to the mine are six additional haul trucks, an additional excavator, a dozer and scraper. This expanded the total number of haul trucks at site from 12 to 18.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We are an exploration stage company and have incurred losses since our inception. We currently do not have sufficient cash to support the Company through 2017 and beyond. We anticipate that we will incur approximately $650,000 for general operating expenses and property maintenance, $133,161 for interest, $431,571 for payment of the gold notes, and $1,794,767 for the payment of a senior secured loans over the next 12 months as of March 31, 2018. Additional funds will be needed for any exploration expenditures, should any be undertaken. We also anticipate $1.0 million in costs for arbitration but a significant portion of this would be recouped if we are successful in the arbitration. We plan to raise the financing through a combination of debt and/or equity placements, sale of mining property interests, and revenue from the joint venture placer operation.

We have filed an arbitration claim against our joint venture operating partner to challenge certain accounting treatment of capital leases, allocations of tax losses, charges to the JV for funding costs related to the JV manager’s financing, related-party transactions, and other items of dispute. In 2018, our joint venture partners filed a counter-claim against us. Favorable rulings at arbitration could provide significant cash flows to us. We have filed for arbitration before a panel of 3 independent arbitrators to address each of the disputed claims. A successful arbitration may result in significant increases to the 2017 and 2016 distributions and revise the computation of these distributions in 2018 and future years. No assurance has been given that the arbitration will be successful.

In addition, GNP must also meet the Minimum Production Requirements as defined by the operating agreement. The Minimum Production Requirement for each year is determined by the price of gold on December 1 in the preceding year. The Minimum Production Requirements for 2016, 2017 and 2018 are 1,100, 1,200 and 1,300 ounces of fine gold, respectively, distributable to each of Goldrich and NyacAU.

The value of the combined 2016 and 2017 Minimum Production Requirements has been calculated at $2,981,950 using the price of gold at $1,296.50 per ounce at December 31, 2017 and, on the same basis, the total value of all Minimum Production Requirements for 2016, 2017 and 2018 is $4,667,400. However, no receivable has been recorded for this amount due to the potential failure of the JV to meet the Minimum Production Requirements by 2018, which may force the dissolution of the JV and may make the collection of this amount uncertain. Substantially all payments for the Minimum Production Requirements for 2016, 2017 and 2018 must be paid by October 31, 2018 and, for each year thereafter, the annual Minimum Production Requirements shall be met if GNP distributes an average of a minimum of fifteen hundred (1,500 ounces) per year to each member of GNP over a rolling three-year period, subject to modification based on the price of gold.

Failure at arbitration, in receiving distributions under the Minimum Production Requirements or in our efforts to raise needed financing could result in us having to scale back or discontinue exploration activities or some or all of our business operations. Under the joint venture operating agreement, revenue is allocated in accordance with the 5-point schedule outlined in the section Joint Venture Agreement in the Notes to our financial statements and in our annual report as filed on Form 10-K for 2017. In addition, if the minimum production requirement as defined by the operating agreement is not met for years beginning in 2018 and each year thereafter, the joint venture shall be dissolved unless agreed in writing by the members.

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2018, we completed no financings, compared to $103,000 net cash for placements of our securities during the three-month period ended March 31, 2017.

If we are unable to timely satisfy our obligations under the notes payable in gold due November 2018, the interest on the unsecured senior note due quarterly, or the principal of the unsecured senior note due in 2018 and we are not able to re-negotiate the terms of such agreements, the holders will have rights against us,

17

including potentially seizing or selling our assets. The notes payable in gold are secured against our right to future distributions of gold extracted by our joint venture with NyacAU. At March 31, 2018, we had outstanding total notes payable in gold of $357,777, representing 266.789 ounces of fine gold deliverable at November 30, 2018.

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. Additionally, as the placer mine continues its increasing trend of gold extraction, we look forward to internal cash flow and additional options for financing appear to be coming available. To increase its access to financial markets, Goldrich intends to also seek a listing of its shares on a recognized stock exchange in Canada in addition to its listing on the OTCQB in the United States.

The audit opinion and notes that accompany our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017, disclose a ‘going concern’ qualification to our ability to continue in business. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern. We are an exploration stage company and we have incurred losses since our inception. We do not have sufficient cash to fund normal operations and meet debt obligations for the next 12 months without deferring payment on certain current liabilities and raising additional funds. We believe 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 currently have only a brief recent history of a recurring source of revenue and in 2016 received our first cash distribution from the joint venture. If these distributions increase in future years and we profitably execute our business plan, our ability to continue as a going concern may improve and become less dependent on our ability to raise capital to fund our future exploration and working capital requirements. Our plans for the long-term include the profitable exploitation of our mining properties and financing our future operations through sales of our common stock and/or debt. 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 our ability to continue as a going concern. In 2015, GNP completed its mine and plant and extracted approximately 3,857 ounces of fine gold. In 2016, GNP extracted approximately 8,227 ounces of fine gold. In 2017, GNP extracted approximately 12,339 ounces of fine gold. GNP’s forecast for 2018 production is approximately 21,000 ounces of fine gold. A successful mining operation may provide the long-term financial strength for the Company to remove the going concern condition in future years. For more information see Joint Venture Agreement above.

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 were 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.

Results of Operations

On March 31, 2018 we had total liabilities of $3,054,306 and total assets of $1,241,264. This compares to total liabilities of $2,889,259 and total assets of $1,477,386 on December 31, 2017. As of March 31, 2018, our liabilities consist of $387,746 for remediation and asset retirement obligations, $357,777 of notes payable in gold, $1,600,292 of notes payable, $249,693 of trade payables and accrued liabilities, $54,882 of accrued interest payable, $373,299 due to related parties, and $30,618 for dividends payable. Of these liabilities, $2,666,560 is due within 12 months. The increase in liabilities compared to December 31, 2017 is due to an increase in trade and related party payables, and amortization of the discount and warrants of the notes payable. The decrease in total assets was due to a decrease in cash due to no financing activities commensurate with the level of operating expenses, offset by an increase in prepaid expenses during the quarter ended March 31, 2018.

18

On March 31, 2018, we had negative working capital of $2,298,323 and a stockholders’ deficit of $1,813,043 compared to negative working capital of $1,902,856 and stockholders’ deficit of $1,411,873 for the year ended December 31, 2017. Working capital decreased during the quarter ended March 31, 2018 due to the accruals of accounts and trade payables that exceeded payments made against those same types of liabilities. Stockholders’ equity decreased due to an operating loss for the period ended March 31, 2018.

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we used cash from operating activities of $364,161 compared to $95,266 for 2017. Net losses increased year over year due largely to professional service costs in relation to the arbitration, with all other expense categories being relatively stable compared to the same period of 2107.  Net operating losses were $388,012 and $240,549 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, including depreciation of $2,359 and $4,750 for the respective quarters.

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, and 2017 respectively, we used no cash in investing activities.

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, no cash was provided by financing activities, compared to cash of $103,000 provided during the same period of 2017.

Private Placement Offerings

Notes Payable

On February 13, 2018, we announced a senior secured notes financing for a possible total net proceeds of $2,200,000. During the year ended December 31, 2017, we received the first tranche of the notes for gross proceeds of $1,794,737, discounted at 5%, resulting in net proceeds of $1,705,000. The financing remains open for an additional $495,000 of net proceeds.

The secured senior notes mature on October 31, 2018, have an interest rate of 15% per annum, calculated on a 360-day year and payable monthly, and were issued net of a 5% original issue discount. A total of 9,422,359 five-year Class T warrants were issued to the lenders. The warrants have an exercise price of $0.03 and expire on November 30, 2022. We paid finder fees totaling $30,000 to related party entities, with $20,000 accrued and included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and incurred $21,000 of other finance and placement costs. Interest of $83,450 was paid during the quarter ended March 31, 2018, and $22,066 is accrued at March 31, 2018 and is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Interest due at March 31, 2018 was timely paid.

The senior secured notes are secured by distributions from the GNP joint venture. The notes rank junior to:

(vii)

Any GNP Distributions that are only deemed to be made by GNP to Goldrich Placer pursuant to the Operating Agreement but are then withheld pursuant to Section 10.1 of the GNP Operating Agreement; and

(viii)

Any GNP Distributions that are made by the GNP to Goldrich Placer pursuant to the GNP Operating Agreement but are then withheld to pay Loan 3 and 2012 reclamation expenses; and 

(ix)

Any GNP Distributions that are made by the GNP to Goldrich Placer pursuant to the Operating Agreement but are then used to pay legal fees relating to mediation/arbitration concerning distributions due to Goldrich Placer from GNP; and

(x)

Any GNP Distributions that are part of the Chandalar Sale, described below; and 

(xi)

Any GNP Distributions that are part of the GVC Sale, described below; and

(xii)

Any GNP Distributions which are secured by our outstanding Senior Gold Forward Sales Contracts.

The Chandalar Sale relates to a purchase agreement, dated as of June 19, 2015, whereby we, through our subsidiary Goldrich Placer, sold and assigned to CGL 12% of any and all GNP Distributions to Goldrich Placer, subject to the limitations set forth in the purchase agreement and the related assignment.

19

The GVC Sale relates to a purchase agreement, dated as of May 22, 2015, whereby we, through our subsidiary Goldrich Placer, sold and assigned to GVC 0.50% of any and all GNP Distributions to Goldrich Placer, subject to the limitations set forth in the purchase agreement and the related assignment.

Repayment of all amounts owed under the notes are guaranteed by Goldrich Placer, LLC, our wholly owned subsidiary, which in turn owns a 50% interest in Goldrich NyacAU Placer LLC. The notes contain standard default provisions, including failure to pay interest and principal when due. Under the terms of the notes, any additional loans will be issued at a 5% discount and, for each loan, we will issue 5.25 Class T warrants for each dollar loaned under this agreement.

The fair value of warrants issued with the notes payable 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 at $263,826 using the following weighted average assumptions: 

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. The Notes payable are discounted by the fair value of the warrants, which is being amortized over the term of the notes.

At March 31, 2018, we had outstanding total notes payable of $1,794,737 less remaining unamortized discounts of $194,445 for a net liability of $1,600,292.

Notes Payable in Gold

During 2013, we issued notes in principal amounts totaling $820,000, less a discount of $205,000, for proceeds of $615,000. Under the terms of the notes, we 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.

On November 30, 2014 and 2015, we renegotiated terms with the holders. A default condition arising from the non-delivery of the gold was alleviated by agreements with the other three note holders to extend the delivery dates.

On November 30, 2016, we again renegotiated terms with the holders. A default condition arising from the non-delivery of the gold in 2016 was alleviated by agreements with the three note holders to extend the delivery date of gold to November 30, 2017.

As of December 31, 2016, the gold to be delivered was not likely to be produced from our property. In addition, history has shown that we may satisfy the debt through cash payment instead of gold ounces for payment. Due to these provisions, the amended contracts are accounted for as derivatives requiring their value to be adjusted to fair value at each period end.

20

At December 31, 2016, we had outstanding total notes payable in gold of $412,261, representing 342.788 ounces of fine gold deliverable at November 30, 2017.

On November 30, 2017, we again renegotiated terms with the holders. A default condition arising from the non-delivery of the gold in 2017 was alleviated by agreements with the three note holders to extend the delivery date of gold to November 30, 2018, with the following terms:

·

Fifteen percent (15%), or 76 ounces, of the required quantity of gold under the contract, prior to amendment one in 2014, amendment two in 2015, and amendment three in 2016, which was originally due on the Delivery Date of November 30, 2014, was delivered on November 30, 2017. In lieu of gold, we could elect to satisfy the delivery of the deliverable required quantity by paying, an amount equal to the deliverable required quantity times the greater of the original purchase price or the index price for the day preceding the date of payment. We paid a total of $97,295 in cash to satisfy this renegotiated term.

·

We agreed to pay interest on the value of the delayed delivery required quantity of $341,543, at an annual non-compounding percentage rate of 10% payable quarterly with any remaining interest due and payable on the delivery date.

·

If the delivery date index price on November 30, 2018 is less than the original purchase price, an additional adjusted required amount shall be delivered by December 31, 2018.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2018, using a forward gold price of $1,341, we recognized a change in fair value of $1,828 in accounting for these notes as derivatives. The fair value was calculated using the market approach with Level 2 inputs. At March 31, 2018, we had outstanding total notes payable in gold of $357,777, representing 266.788 ounces of fine gold deliverable at November 30, 2018. Interest due at March 31, 2018 was timely paid.

Subsequent Events

In May 2018, we received a second tranche of the Notes Payable financing for gross proceeds of $136,842, discounted at 5%, resulting in net proceeds of $130,000.

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

See Subsequent Events above.

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

21

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.

·

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 5 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 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Not applicable.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

At the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision of, and with the participation of, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our 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 (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, and that information required to be disclosed by the Company in its reports that it files or submits to the SEC under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in applicable rules and forms.

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have also determined that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective, and that material information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow for accurate required disclosure to be made on a timely basis.

22

Changes in internal controls over financial reporting

During the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we implemented a change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

As identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, we made commitments for the CFO to more fully review the results of the reported period to remedy a material weakness identified during the audit of our financial results for the 2017 year. That plan was carried out beginning with the review of the results of the March 31, 2018 quarter.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

In 2017, the Company, its subsidiary and the joint venture, as claimants, filed an arbitration statement of claim against NyacAU, LLC (“NyacAU”), BEAR Leasing, LLC, and Dr. J. Michael James, as respondents. In 2018, the respondents filed a counter-claim against us, the claimants. The arbitration claim alleges, amongst other things, claims concerning related-party transactions, accounting issues, interpretation of the joint venture operating agreement, allocation of tax losses between the joint venture partners, and unpaid amounts due Goldrich relating to the Chandalar Mine. In response to Goldrich’s arbitration claim, the respondents filed a counter-demand alleging various matters against Goldrich. Goldrich considers the alleged matters noted in the respondent’s counter-demand to be without merit. The outcome of the arbitration is not yet determined. The arbitration is scheduled to occur during July and August 2018 in Anchorage, AK. Under the terms of the Operating Agreement, both partners are required to abide by the rulings proceeding from the arbitration panel.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors

There have been no changes to our risk factors as reported in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Item 2.  Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use Of Proceeds

See full disclosure in section entitled “Sale of Unregistered Securities” above, which is incorporated by reference to this Item 2.

Item 3.  Defaults upon Senior Securities

None.

Item 4.  Mine Safety Disclosure

Our exploration properties are subject to regulation by the Federal Mine Safety and Health Administration ("MSHA") under the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (the "Mine Act"). Pursuant to Section 1503(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (The "Dodd-Frank Act"), issuers that are operators, or that have a subsidiary that is an operator, of a coal or other mine in the United States are required to disclose in their periodic reports filed with the SEC information regarding specified health and safety violations, orders and citations, related assessments and legal actions, and mining-related fatalities.

23

During the quarter ended March 31, 2018, at our joint venture, GNP, we had one such specified health and safety violations, orders or citations, related assessments or legal actions, mining-related fatalities, or similar events in relation to our United States operations requiring disclosure pursuant to Section 1503(a) of the Dodd-Frank Act. The safety violation was related to task related training provided to one equipment operator that was completed but not recorded. The gravity of the violation was not significant and substantial, with no likelihood for injury and no lost workdays. The action was terminated with the recording of the training.
