MAGELLAN GOLD CORPORATION

(An Exploration Stage Company)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

We use the terms “Magellan,” “we,” “our,” and “us” to refer to Magellan Gold Corporation.

Note 1 – Organization, Basis of Presentation, and Continuance of Operations:

We were incorporated on September 28, 2010, in Nevada. We are an exploration stage company and our principal business is the acquisition and exploration of mineral resources. We have not presently determined whether our mineral properties contain mineral reserves that are economically recoverable.

We have only recently begun operations and we rely upon the sale of our securities and borrowings from significant shareholders to fund our operations as we have not generated any revenue.

Basis of Presentation

We prepare our financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information in accordance with Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 2014, are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. While we believe that the disclosures presented herein are adequate and not misleading, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the footnotes thereto contained in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Liquidity and Going Concern

Our financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that we will be able to meet our obligations and continue our operations during the next fiscal year. Asset realization values may be significantly different from carrying values as shown in our financial statements and do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values of assets and liabilities should we be unable to continue as a going concern. At March 31, 2014, we had not yet generated any revenues or achieved profitable operations and we have accumulated losses of $845,088 since our inception. We expect to incur further losses in the development of our business, all of which casts substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  Our ability to continue as a going concern depends on our ability to generate future profits and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations arising from

---

normal business operations when they come due.  On December 31, 2013 we amended our credit agreement with Mr. John Gibbs, a related party, to increase the borrowing limit under the line of credit to $750,000, which provides the Company an additional $290,396 available under the credit line at March 31, 2014.  We anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of additional loans from officers, directors or significant shareholders, or equity financing from the sale of our common stock.

Note 2 – Mineral Rights:  

As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, our mineral rights consist of the following:

		March 31, 2014		December 31, 2013
Silver District Claims		$   223,200		$   143,200
Sacramento Mountains Project		-		-
Pony Express Claims		-		-
		$   223,200		$   143,200

Silver District Claims

In August, 2012, we entered into an option agreement with Columbus Silver Corporation, which grants the Company the right to acquire all of Columbus’ interest in its Silver District properties located in La Paz County, Arizona.  We paid Columbus an initial $63,200 on signing of the option. In addition, we made a $50,000 payment in December 2012 to Columbus as required under the option agreement.  During February 2014 and January 2013, we paid an additional $80,000 and $30,000, respectively, for the underlying purchase obligation entered into between Columbus and a third party.  See also Note 5 regarding certain commitments for future payments for these claims.

The Silver District property consists of 117 unpatented mining claims, four patented claims held under lease agreements, and one state lease, totaling over 2,000 acres.  The property is subject to third party net smelter royalties of varying percentages. We also must make payments under the option agreement to maintain the underlying claims, leases and purchases contracts.

In August 2013, we renewed these claims with the Bureau of Land Management and recorded a notice of intent to hold mining claims with La Paz County and these claims remain in good standing through August 31, 2014.   In July 2013, we staked and filed with the Bureau of Land Management and recorded with La Paz County an additional 9 claims or approximately 180 acres to our Silver District land holdings.   We renewed these claims with the Bureau of Land Management in August 2013 and they remain in good standing through August 31, 2014.

During August and September 2013, we made payments to a third party landowner of $7,500 for an annual lease payment on a patented claim under the Columbus option agreement and successfully renewed our exploration permit on portions of a State section that comprises part of our Silver District land package.

In November 2013, we paid $21,457 to the Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) representing a deposit for potential reclamation of proposed drilling sites should the Company decide to drill exploratory holes on its Silver District project.  The deposit is included in other non-current assets in the accompanying balance sheet at December 31, 2013 as a Deposit with BLM.

Sacramento Mountains Project

Magellan staked fifty (50) unpatented lode mining claims known as the “Sacramento Mountains Project” totaling approximately 1,000 acres, in which they have a 100% unencumbered interest, on Federal (BLM) land in October 2012 and filed the claims with the BLM in January 2013.    The Project is located in the northwest corner of the Sacramento Mountains approximately 10 miles WNW of Needles, California.    In August 2013, we renewed these claims with the Bureau of Land Management and recorded a notice of intent to hold mining claims with San Bernardino County in September 2013 and our claims remain in good standing through August 31, 2014.  

During 2013, we paid $8,639 to the Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) representing a deposit for potential reclamation of proposed drilling sites should the Company decide to drill exploratory holes on its Sacramento Mountains project.  The deposit is included in other non-current assets in the accompanying balance sheet at December 31, 2013 as a Deposit with BLM.

A plan of operation for a small exploration drill program was submitted and approved by the Bureau of Land Management in 2013.  As of the date of this report no decision to drill within the project has been made.  

Due to the decline in precious metals prices and the absence of currently available funds to further develop this early stage project, we recorded an impairment charge equal to the amount of our capitalized mineral rights at December 31, 2013 in the amount of $10,350. We intend to leave our deposit in place for the Sacramento Mountains project with the BLM and maintain our claims so that the project is available for further exploration should capital formation conditions improve.

Pony Express Claims

In November 2010, we filed two unpatented lode mining claims giving us the right to explore, develop and conduct mining operations on these claims located in Churchill County, Nevada.    

In August 2013, we renewed these claims with the Bureau of Land Management and recorder a notice of intent to hold mining claims with Churchill County in September 2013 and our claims remain in good standing through August 31, 2014.

Due to the decline in precious metals prices and the absence of currently available funds to further develop this early stage project, we have recorded an impairment charge equal to the amount of our capitalized mineral rights at December 31, 2013 in the amount of $4,471.   We intend to maintain our claims so that the project is available for further exploration should capital formation conditions improve.

Note 3 – Line of Credit – Related Parties:

Effective December 31, 2012, we entered into a line of credit arrangement with John D. Gibbs, a significant investor, to facilitate timely cash flows for the Company’s operations.  The line of credit originally provided for a maximum balance of $250,000, and accrued interest at 6% annually.  The line of credit expires and becomes due on December 31, 2014.

At the effective date of the line of credit, Mr. Gibbs was owed a total of $65,000 from previous loans, $40,000 of which was from the previous year and $25,000 of which was received during 2012.  These amounts were converted to the line of credit at December 31, 2012 and are included in the line of credit balance at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

On December 31, 2013 we amended our credit agreement with Mr. Gibbs to increase the borrowing limit under the line of credit to $750,000.  All other terms of the credit agreement, including the interest rate and maturity date remained unchanged.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, draws totaling $60,000 and $74,604 were made, and were primarily used to fund working capital and certain obligations due to maintain our mining rights and properties.  At March 31, 2014 a total of $459,604 was outstanding under this line of credit.  In addition, a total of $26,797 of interest has been accrued on this obligation and is included in Due to related parties on the accompanying balance sheet at March 31, 2014.

Note 4 – Notes Payable – Related Parties:

In August 2011, we entered into an unsecured loan from John Power, the Company’s sole executive officer, evidenced by a $20,000 promissory note. The promissory note bears interest at 6% per annum and is payable on demand with thirty days’ notice from the lender.  In July 2013, the Company paid Mr. Power $1,198 representing accrued interest on this note at June 30, 2013.  And in January 2014, we entered into an unsecured loan from John Power, the Company’s sole executive officer, evidenced by a $50,000 promissory note. The promissory note bears interest at 6.75% per annum and is payable on demand with thirty days’ notice from the lender.  At March 31, 2014 a total of $1,510 of interest was accrued on this promissory note and is included in Due to related parties on the accompanying balance sheet at March 31, 2014.

Note 5 - Commitments and Contingencies:

Under the Columbus Silver - Silver District option, we were required to make a $400,000 payment due December 31, 2013, and a final $500,000 payment due December 31, 2014 to complete the purchase. On August 20, 2013 the agreement was amended to defer the due dates of the $400,000 and $500,000 payments to December 31, 2014 and 2015, respectively.  In addition, the amendment also requires that we make payments under the option agreement to maintain the underlying claims, leases and purchase contracts through December 31, 2014.  The required payments include federal and state claim renewal payments due in August and September 2014 of approximately $25,000.

Note 6 – Shareholders’ Equity:

During the three months ended March 31, 2014 no shares of common stock or other equity instruments or derivatives were issued.

Note 7 – Related Party Transactions:

Conflicts of Interests

Athena Silver Corporation is a company under common control. Mr. Power is also a director and CEO of Athena. Mr. Gibbs is a significant investor in both Magellan and Athena. Magellan and Athena are both exploration stage companies involved in the business of acquisition and exploration of mineral resources.

Silver Saddle Resources, LLC is also a company under common control. Mr. Power and Mr. Gibbs are significant investors and managing members of Silver Saddle. Magellan and Silver Saddle are both exploration stage companies involved in the business of acquisition and exploration of mineral resources.

 

The existence of common ownership and common management could result in significantly different operating results or financial position from those that could have resulted had Magellan, Athena and Silver Saddle been autonomous.

Management Fees

On January 1, 2014, we extended, for one year, our month-to-month management agreement with Mr. Power requiring a monthly payment, in advance, of $2,500 as consideration for the day-to-day management of Magellan.

Management fees to Mr. Power totaling $7,500 for both the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 are included in general and administrative expenses in our statement of operations.  All management fees due Mr. Power through March 31, 2014 have been paid.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

We use the terms “Magellan,” “we,” “our,” and “us” to refer to Magellan Gold Corporation.

The following discussion and analysis provides information that management believes is relevant for an assessment and understanding of our results of operations and financial condition. This information should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, filed with the Commission on March 7, 2014, and our interim unaudited condensed financial statements and notes thereto included with this report in Part I. Item 1.

Forward-Looking Statements

Some of the information presented in this Form 10-Q constitutes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that include terms such as “may,” “will,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “continue,” “believe,” “plan,” or the like, as well as all statements that are not historical facts.  Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations.  Although we believe our expectations are based on reasonable assumptions within the bounds of our knowledge of our business and operations, there can be no assurance that actual results will not differ materially from expectations.

All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made.  We undertake no obligation to update such statements to reflect events that occur or circumstances that exist after the date on which they are made.

Overview

We were incorporated on September 28, 2010, in Nevada. We are an exploration stage company and our principal business is the acquisition and exploration of mineral resources. We have not presently determined whether the properties to which we have mineral rights contain mineral reserves that are economically recoverable.

We have only had limited operations to date and we rely upon the sale of our securities and borrowings from significant investors to fund our operations, as we have not generated any revenue.

In August 2012, we entered into an option agreement to purchase  “The Silver District” project consisting of 85 unpatented lode mining claims, 4 patented lode claims, an Arizona mining lease of 154.66 acres and 23 unpatented mill site claims, totaling over 2,000 acres in Lap Paz County, Arizona.   In addition to our option payments to Columbus Silver to acquire the project, the underlying claims are also subject to third party lease and or purchase obligations and net smelter

royalties of varying percentages.  We are obligated to make certain significant payments during 2014 to maintain our option on the Silver District properties.

We also have staked fifty (50) unpatented lode mining claims known as the “Sacramento Mountains” project totaling approximately 1,000 acres, in which we have a 100% unencumbered interest, on Federal (BLM) land in October 2012 and filed the claims with the BLM in January 2013.    The Project is located in the northwest corner of the Sacramento Mountains approximately 10 miles WNW of Needles, California.

Our primary focus during the next twelve months, and depending on available resources, will be to acquire, explore, and if warranted and feasible, permit and develop our mineral properties.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014 we incurred $13,737 of exploration costs as compared to $34,872 during the same period in 2013.  Exploration costs for the three months ended March 31, 2014 are primarily comprised of $11,651 in consulting geologist fees and related expenses associated with the preparation for our small exploratory drilling program on our Silver District project planned for April 2014.    Other exploration costs totaling $2,086 primarily consist of other exploration related costs associated with our planned drill program.

14

---

During the three months ended March 31, 2013 we incurred $34,872 of exploration costs.  Exploration costs for the three months ended March 31, 2013 are entirely comprised of consulting geologist fees and related expenses associated with the review of the Silver District and Sacramento Mountains projects.  The primary objective was to develop drill targets on both projects and file applications with the BLM to conduct exploratory drilling as capital became available.

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2014 totaling $24,522 were comprised professional fees including accounting and audit fees of $10,723, legal fees totaling $3,370, management fees to Mr. Power totaling $7,500, investor relations fees totaling $724, advertising and promotional fees of $1,768, and other expenses totaling $437 mainly comprised of bank service fees and other office related expenses.

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2013 totaling $27,465 were comprised of accounting and audit fees of $9,250, legal fees totaling $4,066, management fees to Mr. Power totaling $7,500, investor relations and other professional fees totaling $2,140, and other expenses of $4,509 primarily comprised of travel expenses, office expenses and other licenses and fees.

Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 totaled $7,337 and $2,584, respectively, and is attributable to our related party line of credit, which accrues interest at the rate of 6.0% per year, and our related party notes payable which accrue interest at a weighted average interest rate of 6.54%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

We intend to meet our cash requirements for the next 12 months primarily through the expansion of and utilization of our line of credit established in December 2012 and the private placement of debt or equity instruments. We currently do not have any arrangements in place to complete private placement financings and there is no assurance that we will be successful in completing any such financings on terms that will be acceptable to us.

On December 31, 2012, we entered into a line of credit arrangement with John D. Gibbs, a significant investor, to facilitate timely cash flows for the Company’s operations.  The line of credit initially provided for a maximum balance of $250,000, and accrues interest at 6%, which is payable from time to time and due at maturity.  On December 31, 2013 we amended our credit agreement with Mr. Gibbs to increase the borrowing limit under the line of credit to $750,000.  All other terms of the credit agreement, including the interest rate and maturity date remained unchanged.

Our primary priority is to retain our reporting status with the SEC, which means that we will first ensure that we have sufficient capital to cover our legal and accounting expenses. Once these costs are accounted for, in accordance with how much financing we are able to secure, we will focus on exploration and development of our mineral properties. We will likely not expend funds on the remainder of our planned activities unless we have the required capital.

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures:

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including John C.

Management necessarily applied its judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures, which, by their nature, can provide only reasonable assurance regarding management’s control objectives.

Our management, with the participation of our CEO, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon this evaluation, our CEO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of such date as a result of a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting due to lack of segregation of duties and a limited corporate governance structure as discussed in Item 9A of our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.

 While we strive to segregate duties as much as practicable, there is an insufficient volume of transactions at this point in time to justify additional full time staff. We believe that this is typical in many exploration stage companies. We may not be able to fully remediate the material weakness until we commence mining operations at which time we would expect to hire more staff. We will continue to monitor and assess the costs and benefits of additional staffing.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
