ITEM 1.   DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS


Corporate Organization and History within Last Five Years


Company Overview

Energizer Resources Inc. (formerly Uranium Star Corp.) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 1, 2004 and reincorporated in the State of Minnesota on May 14, 2008. Our fiscal year-end is June 30. On December 16, 2009, we effected a name change from “Uranium Star Corp” to “Energizer Resources Inc.”. We are an exploration stage company engaged in the search for vanadium, uranium, gold and other minerals.  We have an interest in properties located in Madagascar and Canada (Province of Québec).  None of the properties in which we hold an interest has known mineral reserves of any kind at this time.  As such, the work programs planned by us are exploratory in nature.

We have not had any bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceeding since incorporation. There have been no material reclassifications, mergers, consolidations or purchases or sales of any significant amount of assets not in the ordinary course of business since the date of incorporation.


Summary of Our Business

Energizer Resources Inc. is an exploration stage company engaged in the search for vanadium, uranium, gold and other minerals. We have an interest in properties located in Madagascar and Canada (Province of Québec). None of the properties in which we hold an interest has known mineral reserves of any kind at this time.  As such, the work programs planned by us are exploratory in nature.

The Company’s executive offices are currently located at 520–141 Adelaide Street West, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5H 3L5. Our telephone number is (416) 364-4911. We maintain a website at http://www.energizerresources.com. These offices are leased on a month-to-month basis, and the Company’s monthly rental payments are currently approximately CAD$3,500.

UNTIL WE CAN VALIDATE OTHERWISE, THE PROPERTIES OUTLINED BELOW HAVE NO KNOWN MINERAL RESERVES OF ANY KIND AND WE ARE PLANNING PROGRAMS THAT ARE EXPLORATORY IN NATURE.  

Further details regarding the Corporation’s properties, although not incorporated by reference, including the comprehensive geological report prepared in compliance with Canada’s National Instrument 43-101 on the Company’s Sagar property in Northern Quebec and the Company’s Three Horses Property (now called Green Giant Property) in Madagascar can be found on the Company’s website:  www.energizerresources.com or in the company’s filings on www.sedar.com.


Milestones


Green Giant Property, Madagascar

On August 22, 2007, the Company acquired a 75% interest in approximately 225 sq. kilometres of mineral permits in the District of Toliara, Madagascar.  This interest is held by a limited liability company that was formed  under the laws of Madagascar which held a 75% interest in the property.  The remaining 25% interest was held by Madagascar Minerals and Resources sarl.  Exploration programs have been carried out in the first quarter of 2007 and the first half of 2008 on the Green Giant Property as well as the Ianapera Coal Property located to the north of the Green Giant Property.


Drilling of 31 holes (4,073 meters) was carried out in the fourth quarter of 2008. Vanadium mineralization of potential economic consequence was intersected in a number of holes. In the first half of 2009 a series of 56 trenches were established, using mechanical excavators, over an 18 kilometre strike length of the property. Analytical results provided by XRF instrumentation indicated significant widths of vanadium mineralization in the majority of the trenches. The Company then proceeded to drill 54 diamond drill holes (8,931 meters) in the latter half of 2009 to delineate a vanadium resource on the Property. A further 46 diamond drill holes (8,952 meters) were emplaced on the Property in 2010 to further enhance the resource delineation.  An additional drill program is anticipated on the Property commencing in the 4th quarter of the 2010 calendar year. A consulting engineering group has been retained to start preliminary economic assessments of the property. Metallurgical and mineralogical work is also being carried out. For a more detail discussion on the planned exploration activities, refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis”.



4






On July 9, 2009, the Company acquired the remaining 25% interest in the Madagascar property and now holds a 100% in interest in the property.


Sagar Property – Romanet Horst, Labrador Trough, Québec, Canada

A drill program has been completed for the Sagar Property. A total of 164 reverse circulation drill holes (2,625 meters) and 5,610 meters of diamond drill holes (46) have been completed.  Additionally, in excess of 3,500 soil samples have been collected and analyzed. Target areas on the Sagar Property have shown distinctly anomalous situations. Subsequent exploration activity is designed to identify the potential source area of the Mistamisk Boulder Field as well as other potential sources of gold and uranium mineralization.


Competitive Conditions

The mineral exploration and mining industry is competitive in all phases of exploration, development and production. The Company competes with a number of other entities and individuals in the search for, and acquisition of, attractive mineral properties. As a result of this competition, the majority of which is with companies with greater financial resources than the Company, the Company may not in the future be able to acquire attractive properties on terms it considers acceptable.  Furthermore, the Company competes with other resource companies, many of whom have greater financial resources and/or more advanced properties that are better able to attract equity investments and other capital.  Factors beyond the control of the Company may affect the marketability of minerals mined or discovered by the Company.


Employees

As of June 30, 2010 the Company had nil total employees and nil full-time employees. The Company engages consultants to serve as officers and to perform professional and administrative functions of the Company.

Agreement

On August 22, 2007, we entered into a joint venture agreement with Madagascar Minerals and Resources sarl (“MMR” or “Madagascar Minerals”), a company incorporated under the laws of Madagascar. The joint venture, to be known as the “Three Horses Joint Venture”, was operated through a Madagascar limited liability company in which the Company held 75% undivided interest and Madagascar Minerals held the remaining 25% interest.


The consideration paid to Madagascar Minerals to acquire the 75% stake in the joint venture consisted of:

(i)

a signing fee of $15,000 within 15 days of the properties vesting in the joint venture;

(ii)

a payment of $750,000 within 15 days of the properties vesting in the joint venture; and

(iii)

the issuance of 1,250,000 of our common shares and 500,000 of our common share purchase warrants within 30 days of the properties vesting in the company created for the joint venture under Madagascar law. Each common share purchase warrant is exercisable at $1.00 per share for a period of 2 years from the date of issuance.


In the event that one or other of the parties is unable to make their contribution to funding, their interest will be diluted accordingly.  In the event that a joint venture party’s interest in the joint venture is diluted below 10%, then that interest will be exchanged with the majority shareholder for a 2% net smelter return.  Furthermore, the remaining joint venture party may acquire that royalty as follows:

(i)

the first 1% at US$1,000,000 in cash or our common shares; and

(ii)

the second 1% at US$1,500,000 in cash or our common shares;

both at the option of the remaining shareholder.


On July 9, 2009, our company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the remaining 25% interest of the “Three Horses Joint Venture” for cash consideration of $100,000. On acquisition of the remaining 25% the joint venture with MMR was terminated.  MMR retains a 2% net smelter return (“NSR”). We can acquire the NSR on this 25% interest portion at a price of $500,000 in cash or common shares for the first 1% and at a price of $1,000,000 in cash or common shares for the second 1% at our option.


Exploration Programs

The Green Giant Property, consists of 31 squares, covering an area of approximately 194 square kilometers, and displays extensive gossans’ outcroppings at surface. An examination of part of the Property revealed several large areas covered with gossanous boulders, which are believed to overlie massive sulphide mineralization.


All phases of the exploration projects have been managed by Taiga Consultants Ltd. of Calgary, Canada.


We conducted a first phase of exploration from September to November 2007 for the “Three Horses Joint Venture”, which included the following activities:

·

Stream Sediment sampling of all stream on the property area

·

Detailed Geological mapping over selected startigraphic horizons

·

Reconnaissance geological mapping over the entire property

·

Soil sampling over selected target areas

·

Prospecting over selected target areas.

·

Limited trenching over selected targets

·

Construction of a cinder block base camp

·

Construction of a one kilometer long surfaced airstrip

·

Repair and surfacing of the access road from base camp to the airstrip

·

Airborne geophysical surveying over the Green Giant Property by Fugro Airborne Surveys Limited


In the latter part of March 2008 to June 2008 a full field exploration program following up on the airborne geophysical survey and results of the 2007 exploration program was implemented. This exploration consisted of the following activities:

·

Infill stream sediment sampling

·

Detailed Geological mapping over selected stratigraphic horizons

·

Prospecting over selected target areas

·

Grid emplacement over selected target areas

·

Ground-based magnetometer and frequency domain EM surveys

·

Soil sampling over selected target areas




7






After reviewing the analytical data obtained from the March to June, 2008 program, additional exploration was conducted on the property from July 1 to September 30, 2008 in preparation for a drill program. This exploration consisted of the following activities:

·

Infill stream sediment sampling

·

Detailed Geological mapping over selected stratigraphic horizons

·

Prospecting over selected target areas with the aid of a mobile XRF analyzer


Based on compiled analytical results obtained from the various exploration programs, a drill program was initiated on the property from September 30 to November 24, 2008. This exploration program consisted of the following activities:

·

Prospecting over selected target areas with the aid of a mobile XRF analyzer

·

Ground-based scintillometer surveying over selected target areas

·

Diamond drilling of 31 holes over 4,073 metres


The discovery of potentially significant vanadium mineralization from the 2008 exploration program resulted in the initiation of resource delineation drill program from September 1, 2009 to December 20, 2009. This exploration program consisted of the following activities:

·

XRF soil sample analyses (8,490 samples) on lines 200 meters apart and covering 18 kilometre strike length

·

Scintillometer surveying (112 line kilometres) on lines 200 meters apart and covering 18 kilometre strike length

·

Trenching (140 trenches for 17,105 meters)

·

Diamond drilling of 54 diamond drill holes over 8,931 meters


Based on the drill results from the 2009 exploration program, PEG Mining Consultants Inc. estimated in 2010, a NI 43-101 compliant Indicated resource estimate of 21.74 million tonnes at an average grade of 0.759% V2O5 (vanadium pentoxide), and a NI 43-101 compliant Inferred resource estimate of 4.15 million tonnes at an average grade of 0.655% V2O5. Based upon these resource estimates, the Company initiated an exploration program from May 1 to July 24, 2010 to delineate further vanadium resources. This exploration program consisted of the following activities:

·

Diamond drilling of 46 diamond drill holes over 8,952 meters.


2008 Diamond Drill Hole Locations

Diamond drilling completed in 2008 on the Green Giant Property tested a series of gossans and EM conductors, however no Volcanic Massive Sulphide (VMS) mineralization of significance was encountered. Drilling did confirm the presence of a series of mineral occurrences highly enriched in vanadium and a number of associated anomalous elements, which were first seen in stream sediment sampling programs. Due to this unexpected result the focus of exploration shifted to vanadium mineralization part way through the 2008 drill program.

The serendipitous discovery of potentially economic vanadium mineralization on the property changed the course of the 2008 diamond-drilling program.  Through a combination of prospecting, ground based scintillometer surveying, and analysis of airborne radiometrics, five vanadium-bearing trends were identified over the course of the 2008 exploration program.

 

 

[energizer10k09272010004.jpg]

Vanadium-bearing Trends

Based on positive early indications of the presence of potentially economic grades and volumes of vanadium on the Green Giant Property, another exploration program was initiated on the Green Giant Project in the spring of 2009. The program (completed between April 23 and July 16, 2009) consisted of an extensive X-Ray Fluorescence analysis (XRF) soil sampling program coupled with mechanical trenching and scintillometer surveys over known areas of vanadium enrichment and new areas, defined by the soil XRF survey.


After reviewing the analytical results from the spring 2009 exploration program, an additional exploration program was carried out between September and December 2009. This exploration program involved mechanical trenching, diamond drilling with accompanying litholgical, structural and geotechnical logging, specific gravity determination, point load tests and metallurgical sampling. All work was carried out under a well-supervised Quality Assurance and Quality Control program.


The primary aim of the September to December 2009 drill program was to delineate reserves at the Jaky and Manga targets. A total of 8,931 meters (4509.2m in 30 drill holes at the Jaky target and 4422m in 24 drill holes at the Manga target) of diamond drilling was completed. Selected drill holes were oriented with point load test and orientation measurements recorded.

All drill core assays have been received, and PEG Mining Consultants Inc. was retained to undertake a resource calculation for the Manga and Jaky Zones.


Metallurgy

Generally, the following observations can be made on the property, based on certain metallurgical testing:

·

High free acid levels of 100 g/L H2SO4 led to higher V extraction in both samples than the test performed under 20 g/L H2SO4 conditions.


·

The tests performed with 100 g/L FA concentrations seem to continue leaching at 24 hrs (based on increasing extraction and decreasing residue assays.


·

Overall extraction of vanadium from the silicate sample is higher (78.2%) than from the oxide sample (69.9%).


·

Despite the higher extraction of vanadium from the silicate samples, acid consumption (using the 100 g/L series of tests) is generally lower with the silicate sample (179 kg/t) than with the oxide sample (250 kg/t). This can be attributed to higher co-extraction of acid consuming elements such as aluminum, magnesium and manganese.


·

It was observed that a precipitate formed in the filtrate of the Silicate Composite leaches if the pulp was filtered hot. These filtrate samples were filtered again and the precipitate from all of the filtrate samples was combined to be analysed. At 23% Ca this precipitate is presumed to be mainly gypsum.

Vanadium Extraction vs Time

Further metallurgical analysis was initiated in December 2009. A 250kg sample of mineralization from the Jaky Zone has been sent to Mintek Laboratories in South Africa for additional metallurgical test work. The results of this work should be available in the second quarter of 2010. Another 200kg sample of higher-grade mineralization was collected from the Manga Zone.  


Current metallurgical work is aimed at upgrading the V2O5 content of the mineralization before subjecting it to acid leaching. A significant decrease in acid consumption is expected.

Future Programs

The property merits an exploration program consisting of exploratory and infill diamond drilling over vanadium-bearing zones identified by diamond drilling and trenching completed in 2008, 2009 and 2010. The goal of the program is to establish a NI 43-101 compliant vanadium resource in the Jaky, Manga and Mainty Zones at a minimum, and to continue exploration on other less well-developed target areas mainly the Fondrana and Maitso Zones. A 2,000 meter, 12-hole drill program will employ one Boart Longyear diamond drill to verify additional mineralized zones previously confirmed through trenching and/or prospecting.


The Company’s National Instrument 43-101 compliant resource estimate confirmed that a significant amount of vanadium has been discovered in two mineralized zones that account for a very small portion (1.35 kilometers) of the overall 18-kilometre trend of continuous vanadium mineralization.


The Manga zone has a high-grade core with vanadium values assaying as high as 1.2% V2O5 and is open along strike to the south and at depth. In just 500 meters of strike-length drilled to date, the Manga zone accounts for 77% of the total resource estimate.



To date, 131 diamond drill holes and 151 trenches, totaling 38,643 meters have been completed on the property. Assay results for the 2010 exploration program have been received, and the Company hopes to complete a NI 43-101 compliant preliminary economic assessment (scoping) study by the end of 2010.


The economic potential of the property rests upon the ability to extract vanadium using reasonable, potentially economic parameters. We are carrying out further larger sample tests and more complete mineralogy and metallurgical testing of vanadium ores to establish the technological and economic parameters of vanadium processing. The goal of this work is to identify a potentially economic processing method to extract vanadium from both the vanadium silicate and vanadium oxide types, which are known to exist on the property.


The expected cost of the recommended program through December 31, 2010 is $1,000,000.

SAGAR PROPERTY

[energizer10k09272010007.jpg]


Property Description and Location

The Sagar Property comprises 219 blocks of claims in the Territory of Nunavik, Province of Québec, Canada.  The approximate center of exploration activity is circa 56°22’ N latitude and circa 68° 00’ W longitude.  Details on the individual claims are available on-line at the Government of Québec’s Ministère des Resources Naturelles et de la Faune GESTIM website at https://gestim.mines.gouv.qc.ca. This property can be accessed by air.


The area comprising these claims is approximately 6,580 hectares.  In this part of the Province of Québec, “map staking” predetermines claim outlines.  Previously the map-staking grid, producing some of the small parcels, superimposes upon staked claims. There are no carried environmental liabilities on the property. All surface work requires provincial government permits, including camp construction permits. These have been acquired.


Agreement

On May 4, 2006, Virginia Mines Inc. (“Virginia”) and the Company entered into a binding agreement whereby the Company was granted an option to acquire an undivided 75% participating interest in 200 claims constituting the Sagar Property located in the Labrador Trough in Northern Québec.  Under the terms of this agreement, the Company had the option to earn a 75% interest in the Sagar Property by issuing to Virginia 2,000,000 common shares and 2,000,000 common share purchase warrants of the Company, each warrant entitling Virginia to acquire one common share of the Company at a price of US$1.00 for a period of three years from the date of issue thereof, and by incurring total exploration expenditures of $2,000,000 on the Sagar Property by August 2008.  Furthermore, Virginia had the option, at any time, to sell its remaining 25% participating interest in the Sagar Property in consideration for the issue to it of 1,000,000 common shares and 1,000,000 common share purchase warrants of the Company.  The common share purchase warrants shall be exercisable at a price equal to the 20-trading day weighted average closing price preceding the selling date, and shall be valid for a period of two years from the date of issuance.  Upon the Company earning a 100% interest in the Sagar Property, Virginia shall retain a 1.5% royalty (net smelter returns).  In the event of a gold discovery on the Sagar Property with an NI 43-101 indicated resource of no less than 500,000 ounces, Virginia shall be entitled to exercise a back-in right to re-acquire a 51% interest in the Sagar Property by making a cash payment or issuing common shares equivalent to an amount equal to 250% of the expenditures incurred by the Company on the Sagar Property at such time.  Upon the exercise of such back-in right, Virginia would become the operator of the Sagar Property.




25






On June 2, 2006, we exercised our option to earn a 75% interest in the Sagar Property by issuing to Virginia 2,000,000 common shares and 2,000,000 common share purchase warrants of the Company, each warrant entitling Virginia to acquire one common share of the Company at a price of US$1.00 for a period of three years from the date of issue thereof, and by incurring total exploration expenditures of $2,000,000 on the Sagar Property by August 2008.


On February 19, 2007, Virginia exercised its option to sell its 25% remaining interest in the Sagar Property to the Company and in connection therewith, the Company issued to Virginia 1,000,000 common shares and 1,000,000 common share purchase warrants, with each such warrant being exercisable at a price of $1.24 for a period of two years from the date of issuance. As a result of this exercise, the Company now holds a 100% interest in the Sagar Property, subject to a royalty equal to 1% of net smelter returns on certain claims, 0.5% on net smelter returns on other claims owned by Pierre Poisson and Joanne Jones (the “P&J Royalty”) (see below), and a royalty in favor of Virginia equal to 1.5% of net smelter returns. Under the agreement with Virginia, the Company must incur aggregate exploration expenditures of at least $2,000,000 on the Sagar Property on or before August 31, 2008. As at June 30, 2010, the Company incurred an aggregate of $7,363,663 of exploration expenditures on the Sagar Property.


The agreement with Virginia is subject to a royalty agreement dated May 27, 1992 (as amended by agreements dated May 10, 1993 and November 3, 1993, collectively, the “Virginia Royalty Agreement”) between Virginia Gold Mines Inc. (predecessor to Virginia) and Pierre Poisson and Joanne Jones.  Pursuant to the Virginia Royalty Agreement, Virginia acquired a 100% interest in the Sagar Property, subject to the P&J Royalty.  Pursuant to the Virginia Royalty Agreement, Virginia had the right to buy back half of the 1% net smelter return royalty (0.5%) for $200,000, and half of the 0.5% net smelter return royalty (0.25%) for $100,000, such P&J Royalty repurchase rights are now held by the Company.


We are currently up to date with all obligations required to maintain the property in good standing.



FERDERBER CLAIMS


Property Description and Location

The Company acquired a 100% undivided right, title and interest in and to 19 mining claims (0036315, 0036316, 0036317, 0036318, 0036319, 0036320, 0036321, 0036322, 0036323, 0036324, 0036325, 0036326, 0036327, 0030649, 0030650, 0030640, 0030638, 0030612, 0030613) held by Mr. Peter Ferderber, covering an area of approximately 64 hectares located in the Central Labrador Trough Region of Québec, 13 of which are contiguous to the Company’s Sagar Property. This property can be accessed air.


In consideration of the Company receiving a 100% interest in these claims, subject to any net smelter return royalties, the Company paid CAD$6,000, and issued 150,000 common shares and a warrant exercisable for 75,000 common shares, exercisable at $1.00 per share for a three year period from date of issuance.


Underlying net Smelter Royalty (“NSR”)

Mr. Ferderber retains a 1% NSR on this property and agreed that the Company shall have a first right of refusal to purchase the 1% NSR should Mr. Ferderber, at his sole discretion, elect to sell the royalty.


We are currently up to date with all obligations required to maintain the property in good standing.


Sagar Property and Ferderber Claims Highlights

The following are key features of the Sagar Property:


The geological setting of the property is the northwest trending Romanet Horst within the Labrador Trough. The significant mineral potential of this geological setting is well demonstrated by the abundance and diversity of uranium-gold showings, which range from veins to breccia’s to shear zones. There is also locally significant sedimentary-hosted copper mineralization. The most spectacular mineralization found to date is the 500 x 200 meter Mistamisk boulder field which contains 150 boulders that range up to 640 g/t gold and 4.11% uranium, with 70 tested boulders averaging 64.9g/t gold and 1.3% uranium. The boulders discovered within the Mistamisk boulder field range in length from 0.30 to 2.0 meters. Previous work has not determined the bedrock source of this boulder field.




26






Copper mineralization has been defined in a number of locations, the most significant being the Dehli-Pacific showing, which has reported 4.2% copper over 7.6 meters within a drill hole that intersected a shear zone along a sediment-gabbro contact.

Future Programs

In light of empirical observations collected during the course of 2007 exploration activities, other targets have been identified which could prove to be volumetrically more significant than the source of the Mistamisk Boulder Field.  In order of priority, management believes future exploration on the Sagar Property should focus on the discovery of:


1.

Gold and uranium mineralization at redox boundaries along major faults. This work should focus on the intersection between the Romanet fault and the reducing lithologies of the Dunphy and Lace Lake formations.


2.

Unconformity associated polymetallic uranium-style mineralization at the Archean basement contact.  The ‘Kilo’ soil anomaly should be targeted for this exploration due to the anomalous soil, RC, and DDH geochemistry, as well as the numerous coincident geophysical anomalies.  


3.

Iron-Oxide Copper Gold (IOCG) mineralization.  This work should focus on the east-west structure bisecting the Romanet Horst.  In particular, the area to the south-west of the Lac Plisse showing should be drill tested as it has coincident gravity and magnetic highs, and has an anomalous IOCG-related geochemical signature for RC, soil, and water geochemical data. Additionally, the DDH geochemistry and alteration mineralogy observed from holes in the ‘Alpha’ soil target area should be re-examined in the context of IOCG mineralization.


4.

Source mineralization for the Mistamisk Boulder Field. The anomalous Alpha, Delta, and Kilo soil targets, as well as A, B, and E RC targets identified during the course of the 2007 exploration program should be examined to ascertain the source mineralization for the Mistamisk Boulder Field.

ITEM 1A. - RISK FACTORS


Our business is subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the risks and uncertainties described below. If any of the risks  described below, or elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, or the Company’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), were to occur, our financial condition and results of operations could suffer and the trading price of our common stock could decline. Additionally, if other risks not presently known to us, or that we do not currently believe to be significant, occur or become significant, our financial condition and results of operations could suffer and the trading price of our common stock could decline.


The report of our independent registered public accounting firm contains explanatory language that substantial doubt exists about our ability to continue as a going concern.

The independent auditor’s report on our financial statements contains explanatory language that substantial doubt exists about our ability to continue as a going concern. Due to our lack of operating history and present inability to generate revenues, we have sustained operating losses since our inception.  Since our inception to June 30, 2010, we had accumulated net losses of $47,119,497.  If we are unable to obtain sufficient financing in the near term or achieve profitability, then we would, in all likelihood, experience severe liquidity problems and may have to curtail our operations. If we curtail our operations, we may be placed into bankruptcy or undergo liquidation, the result of which will adversely affect the value of our common shares.


We will be required to issue additional common shares if the registration statement is not declared effective by December 15, 2010.

On March 15, 2010, we completed the brokered and non-brokered offerings consisting of 21,666,667 units at US$0.30 per unit for gross proceeds of US$6,500,000. Each unit consisted of one common share and one common share purchase warrant. Each common share purchase warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share at an exercise price of US$0.50 for a period beginning July 15, 2010 and ending May 5, 2013, subject to earlier expiration in certain events.


In connection with the brokered and non-brokered offerings, we agreed to use commercially reasonable best efforts to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission and cause it to become effective as soon as practicable after the closing of the brokered and non-brokered offerings.  If the registration statement has not been declared effective on or before December 15, 2010, each holder of a common share comprising a unit issued in the brokered and non-brokered offerings will be entitled to be issued one-tenth of one common share beginning on December 15, 2010 and an additional one-tenth of one common share on every six month anniversary thereafter in which the registration statement has not been declared effective until December 15, 2011, such that the maximum number of common shares which may be issued pursuant to filing rights is equal to 30% of the common shares comprising the units issued in the brokered and non-brokered offerings.


Our common shares have been subject to penny stock regulation.

Our common shares have been subject to the provisions of Section 15(g) and Rule 15g-9 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), commonly referred to as the “penny stock” rule. Section 15(g) sets forth certain requirements for transactions in penny stocks and Rule 15g-9(d)(1) incorporates the definition of penny stock as that used in Rule 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act. The Commission generally defines penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price less than US$5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Rule 3a51-1 provides that any equity security is considered to be penny stock unless that security is: registered and traded on a national securities exchange meeting specified criteria set by the Commission; issued by a registered investment company; excluded from the definition on the basis of price (at least US$5.00 per share) or the registrant’s net tangible assets; or exempted from the definition by the Commission. If our common shares are deemed to be “penny stock”, trading in common shares will be subject to additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell penny stock to persons other than established customers and accredited investors.


Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) sales practice requirements may also limit a shareholder’s ability to buy and sell our common shares.

In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers.



28






FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common shares, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.


We may not have access to sufficient capital to pursue our business and therefore would be unable to achieve our planned future growth.

We intend to pursue a growth strategy that includes development of our company’s business plan. Currently we have limited capital, which is insufficient to pursue our plans for development and growth. Our ability to implement our exploration plans will depend primarily on our ability to obtain additional private or public equity or debt financing.  Such financing may not be available at all, or we may be unable to locate and secure additional capital on terms and conditions that are acceptable to us.  Financing exploration plans through equity financing may have a dilutive effect on our common shares.  Our failure to obtain additional capital will have a material adverse effect on our business.


We do not intend to pay dividends.

We do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common shares in the foreseeable future. We may not have sufficient funds to legally pay dividends. Even if funds are legally available to pay dividends, we may nevertheless decide in our sole discretion not to pay dividends. The declaration, payment and amount of any future dividends will be made at the discretion of our board of directors, and will depend upon, among other things, the results of our operations, cash flows and financial condition, operating and capital requirements, and other factors our board of directors may consider relevant. There is no assurance that we will pay any dividends in the future, and, if dividends are paid, there is no assurance with respect to the amount of any such dividend.


Because we are quoted on the OTCBB instead of a national securities exchange in the United States, our U.S. investors may have more difficulty selling their stock or experience negative volatility on the market price of our stock in the United States.

Our common shares are currently listed for trading in Canada on the TSX-V. In the United States, our common shares are currently quoted on the OTCBB. The OTCBB is often highly illiquid, in part because it does not have a national quotation system by which potential investors can follow the market price of shares except through information received and generated by a limited number of broker-dealers that make markets in particular stocks. There is a greater chance of volatility for securities that trade on the OTCBB as compared to a national securities exchange in the United States, such as the New York Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ Stock Market or the NYSE Amex. This volatility may be caused by a variety of factors, including the lack of readily available price quotations, the absence of consistent administrative supervision of bid and ask quotations, lower trading volume, and market conditions. U.S. investors in our common shares may experience high fluctuations in the market price and volume of the trading market for our securities. These fluctuations, when they occur, have a negative effect on the market price for our common shares. Accordingly, our U.S. shareholders may not be able to realize a fair price from their shares when they determine to sell them or may have to hold them for a substantial period of time until the market for our common shares improves. In addition our common shares are listed on the Frankfurt Exchange under the symbol YE5.


As a public company we are subject to complex legal and accounting requirements that will require us to incur significant expenses and will expose us to risk of non-compliance.

As a public company, we are subject to numerous legal and accounting requirements that do not apply to private companies. The cost of compliance with many of these requirements is material, not only in absolute terms but, more importantly, in relation to the overall scope of the operations of a small company. Our relative inexperience with these requirements may increase the cost of compliance and may also increase the risk that we will fail to comply. Failure to comply with these requirements can have numerous adverse consequences including, but not limited to, our inability to file required periodic reports on a timely basis, loss of market confidence, delisting of our securities and/or governmental or private actions against us. We cannot assure you that we will be able to comply with all of these requirements or that the cost of such compliance will not prove to be a substantial competitive disadvantage vis-à-vis our privately held and larger public competitors.


Failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.

If we fail to comply with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act regarding internal control over financial reporting or to remedy any material weaknesses in our internal controls that we may identify, such failure could result in material misstatements in our financial statements, cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and have a negative effect on the trading price of our common shares.



29







Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and current SEC regulations, we are required to prepare assessments regarding internal controls over financial reporting. In connection with our on-going assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, we may discover “material weaknesses” in our internal controls as defined in standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or the PCAOB. A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. The PCAOB defines “significant deficiency” as a deficiency that results in more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected.

In the event that a material weakness is identified, we will employ qualified personnel and adopt and implement policies and procedures to address any material weaknesses that we identify. However, the process of designing and implementing effective internal controls is a continuous effort that requires us to anticipate and react to changes in our business and the economic and regulatory environments and to expend significant resources to maintain a system of internal controls that is adequate to satisfy our reporting obligations as a public company. We cannot assure you that the measures we will take will remediate any material weaknesses that we may identify or that we will implement and maintain adequate controls over our financial process and reporting in the future.


Any failure to complete our assessment of our internal control over financial reporting, to remediate any material weaknesses that we may identify or to implement new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could harm our operating results, cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations or result in material misstatements in our financial statements. Any such failure could also adversely affect the results of the periodic management evaluations of our internal controls. Inadequate internal controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our common shares.


The price at which you purchase our common shares may not be indicative of the price that will prevail in the trading market. You may be unable to sell your common shares at or above your purchase price, which may result in substantial losses to you. The market price for our common shares is particularly volatile given our status as a relatively unknown company with a small and thinly traded public float, limited operating history and lack of profits which could lead to wide fluctuations in our share price.

The market for our common shares is characterized by significant price volatility when compared to seasoned issuers, and we expect that our share price will continue to be more volatile than a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future. The volatility in our share price is attributable to a number of factors. First, as noted above, our common shares are sporadically and thinly traded. As a consequence of this lack of liquidity, the trading of relatively small quantities of shares by our shareholders may disproportionately influence the price of those shares in either direction. The price for our shares could, for example, decline precipitously in the event that a large number of our common shares are sold on the market without commensurate demand, as compared to a seasoned issuer which could better absorb those sales without adverse impact on its share price. Secondly, we are a speculative or “risky” investment due to our limited operating history and lack of profits to date, and uncertainty of future market acceptance for our potential products. As a consequence of this enhanced risk, more risk-adverse investors may, under the fear of losing all or most of their investment in the event of negative news or lack of progress, be more inclined to sell their shares on the market more quickly and at greater discounts than would be the case with the stock of a seasoned issuer. Many of these factors are beyond our control and may decrease the market price of our common shares, regardless of our operating performance. We cannot make any predictions or projections as to what the prevailing market price for our common shares will be at any time, including as to whether our common shares will sustain their current market prices, or as to what effect that the sale of shares or the availability of common shares for sale at any time will have on the prevailing market price.


Shareholders should be aware that, according to SEC Release No. 34-29093, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (1) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (2) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (3) boiler room practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (4) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differential and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (5) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequent investor losses. Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market. Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities. The occurrence of these patterns or practices could increase the volatility of our share price.



30






 


Volatility in our common share price may subject us to securities litigation, thereby diverting our resources that may have a material effect on our profitability and results of operations.

As discussed in the preceding risk factors, the market for our common shares is characterized by significant price volatility when compared to seasoned issuers, and we expect that our share price will continue to be more volatile than a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future. In the past, plaintiffs have often initiated securities class action litigation against a company following periods of volatility in the market price of its securities. We may in the future be the target of similar litigation. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and liabilities and could divert management’s attention and resources.


Should we lose the services of our key executives, our financial condition and proposed expansion may be negatively impacted.

We depend on the continued contributions of our executive officers to work effectively as a team, to execute our business strategy and to manage our business. The loss of key personnel, or their failure to work effectively, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Specifically, we rely J.A. Kirk McKinnon, our Chief Executive Officer, Julie A. Lee Harrs, our President and Chief Operating Officer, and Richard E. Schler, our Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer.   We do not maintain key man life insurance on Julie A. Lee Harrs or Richard E. Schler.   Should we lose either or both of their services and we are unable to replace their services with equally competent and experienced personnel, our operational goals and strategies may be adversely affected, which will negatively affect our potential revenues.


Minnesota law and our articles of incorporation protect our directors from certain types of lawsuits, which could make it difficult for us to recover damages from them in the event of a lawsuit.

Minnesota law provides that our directors will not be liable to our company or to our stockholders for monetary damages for all but certain types of conduct as directors. Our articles of incorporation require us to indemnify our directors and officers against all damages incurred in connection with our business to the fullest extent provided or allowed by law. The exculpation provisions may have the effect of preventing stockholders from recovering damages against our directors caused by their negligence, poor judgment or other circumstances. The indemnification provisions may require our company to use its assets to defend our directors and officers against claims, including claims arising out of their negligence, poor judgment, or other circumstances.


We have not identified any mineral reserves or resources and due to the speculative nature of mineral property exploration, there is substantial risk that no commercially exploitable minerals will be found and our business will fail.

Exploration for minerals is a speculative venture involving substantial risk. We cannot provide investors with any assurance that our claims and properties contain commercially exploitable reserves. The exploration work that we intend to conduct on our claims or properties may not result in the discovery of commercial quantities of uranium, gold or other minerals. Problems such as unusual and unexpected rock formations and other conditions are involved in mineral exploration and often result in unsuccessful exploration efforts. In such a case, we would be unable to complete our business plan.


We are a mineral exploration company with a limited operating history and expect to incur operating losses for the foreseeable future.

We are a mineral exploration company. We have never earned any revenues and we have never been profitable. Prior to completing exploration on our claims, we may incur increased operating expenses without realizing any revenues from those claims. There are numerous difficulties normally encountered by mineral exploration companies, and these companies experience a high rate of failure. The likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays encountered in connection with the exploration of the mineral properties that we plan to undertake. These potential problems include, but are not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to exploration and additional costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates. We have no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that our business will prove successful, and we can provide no assurance to investors that we will generate any operating revenues or ever achieve profitable operations.






31






Because of the speculative nature of mineral property exploration, there is substantial risk that no commercially exploitable minerals will be found and our business will fail.

Exploration for minerals is a speculative venture involving substantial risk. We cannot provide investors with any assurance that our claims and properties contain commercially exploitable reserves. The exploration work that we intend to conduct on our claims or properties may not result in the discovery of commercial quantities of uranium, gold or other minerals. Problems such as unusual and unexpected rock formations and other conditions are involved in mineral exploration and often result in unsuccessful exploration efforts. In such a case, we would be unable to complete our business plan.


Because of the inherent dangers involved in mineral exploration, there is a risk that we may incur liability or damages as we conduct our business.

The search for valuable minerals involves numerous hazards. As a result, we may become subject to liability for such hazards, including pollution, cave-ins and other hazards against which we cannot, or may elect not, to insure. We currently have no such insurance, but our management intends to periodically review the availability of commercially reasonable insurance coverage. If a hazard were to occur, the costs of rectifying the hazard may exceed our asset value and cause us to liquidate all our assets.


If we confirm commercial concentrations of vanadium, uranium, gold or other minerals on our claims and interests, we can provide no assurance that we will be able to successfully bring those claims or interests into commercial production.

If our exploration programs are successful in confirming deposits of commercial tonnage and grade, we will require significant additional funds in order to place the claims and interests into commercial production. This may occur for a number of reasons, including because of regulatory or permitting difficulties, because we are unable to obtain any adequate funds or because we cannot obtain such funds on terms that we consider economically feasible.


Because access to most of our properties is often restricted by inclement weather, our exploration programs are likely to experience delays.

Access to most of the properties underlying our claims and interests is restricted due to their remote locations and because of weather conditions. Most of these properties are only accessible by air. As a result, any attempts to visit, test, or explore the property are generally limited to those periods when weather permits such activities. These limitations can result in significant delays in exploration efforts, as well as mining and production efforts in the event that commercial amounts of minerals are found. This could cause our business to fail.


As we undertake exploration of our claims and interests, we will be subject to the compliance of government regulation that may increase the anticipated time and cost of our exploration program.

There are several governmental regulations that materially restrict the exploration of minerals. We will be subject to the mining laws and regulations in force in the jurisdictions where our claims are located, and these laws and regulations may change over time. In order to comply with these regulations, we may be required to obtain work permits, post bonds and perform remediation work for any physical disturbance to land. While our planned budget for exploration programs includes a contingency for regulatory compliance, there is a risk that new regulations could increase our costs of doing business and prevent us from carrying out our exploration program, or that the budgeted amounts are inadequate.


Our operations are subject to strict environmental regulations, which result in added costs of operations and operational delays.

Our operations are subject to environmental regulations, which could result in additional costs and operational delays. All phases of our operations are subject to environmental regulation. Environmental legislation is evolving in some countries and jurisdictions in a manner that may require stricter standards, and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringer environmental assessments of proposed projects, and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors, and employees. There is no assurance that any future changes in environmental regulation will not negatively affect our projects.


We have no insurance for environmental problems.

Insurance against environmental risks, including potential liability for pollution or other hazards as a result of the disposal of waste products occurring from exploration and production, has not been available generally in the mining industry. We have no insurance coverage for most environmental risks. In the event of a problem, the payment of environmental liabilities and costs would reduce the funds available to us for future operations. If we are unable to fund fully the cost of remedying an environmental problem, we might be required to enter into an interim compliance measure pending completion of the required remedy.

Due to external market factors in the mining business, we may not be able to market any minerals that may be found.

The mining industry, in general, is intensely competitive. Even if commercial quantities of minerals are discovered, we can provide no assurance to investors that a ready market will exist for the sale of these minerals. Numerous factors beyond our control may affect the marketability of any substances discovered. These factors include market fluctuations, the proximity and capacity of markets and processing equipment, and government regulations, including regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, mineral importing and exporting and environmental protection. The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but any combination of these factors may result in our not receiving an adequate return on invested capital.


Our performance may be subject to fluctuations in market prices of vanadium, uranium, gold and other minerals.

The profitability of a mineral exploration project could be significantly affected by changes in the market price of the relevant minerals. Recently, the market price of uranium has increased due in large measure to projections as to the number of new nuclear energy plants that will be constructed in China, the United States and other jurisdictions. With respect to the market prices of gold, mine production and the willingness of third parties such as central banks to sell or lease gold affects the supply of gold. Demand for gold can also be influenced by economic conditions, attractiveness as an investment vehicle and the relative strength of the U.S. dollar and local investment currencies.  A number of other factors affect the market prices for other minerals. The aggregate effect of the factors affecting the prices of various minerals is impossible to predict with accuracy. Fluctuations in mineral prices may adversely affect the value of any mineral discoveries made on the properties with which we are involved, which may in turn affect the market price and liquidity of our common shares and our ability to pursue and implement our business plan. In addition, the price of vanadium has in the past fluctuated significantly on a month-to-month and year-to-year basis.


Because from time to time we hold a significant portion of our cash reserves in Canadian dollars, we may experience losses due to foreign exchange translations.

From time to time we hold a significant portion of our cash reserves in Canadian dollars. Due to foreign exchange rate fluctuations, the value of these Canadian dollar reserves can result in translation gains or losses in U.S. dollar terms. If there was to be a significant decline in the Canadian dollar versus the U.S. dollar, our U.S. dollar cash position would also significantly decline. We have not entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations. Such foreign exchange declines could cause us to experience losses.


Until we can validate otherwise, the properties described below have no known mineral reserves of any kind and we are planning programs that are exploratory in nature. Further details regarding the Company’s properties, although not incorporated by reference, including the comprehensive geological report prepared in compliance with Canada’s National Instrument 43-101 on the Company’s Sagar Property in Northern Québec can be found on the Company’s website at http://www.energizerresources.com or within the Company’s filings on Sedar at http://www.sedar.com. The comprehensive geological report prepared in compliance with Canada’s National Instrument 43-101 on the Company’s Green Giant Property located in Madagascar has recently been filed within the Company’s filings on Sedar at http://www.sedar.com but such filing is not incorporated into this annual report.

Compliance with changing regulation of corporate governance and public disclosure will result in additional expenses and pose challenges for our management.

Changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure, including the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and SEC regulations, have created uncertainty for public companies and significantly increased the costs and risks associated with accessing the U.S. public markets. Our management team will need to devote significant time and financial resources to comply with both existing and evolving standards for public companies, which will lead to increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention from revenue generating activities to compliance activities.


SHOULD ONE OR MORE OF THE FOREGOING RISKS OR UNCERTAINTIES MATERIALIZE, OR SHOULD THE UNDERLYING ASSUMPTIONS PROVE INCORRECT, ACTUAL RESULTS MAY DIFFER SIGNIFICANTLY FROM THOSE ANTICIPATED, BELIEVED, ESTIMATED, EXPECTED, INTENDED OR PLANNED.

Dividends

We have never declared any cash dividends with respect to our common shares. Future payment of dividends is within the discretion of our board of directors, and will depend upon, among other things, the results of our operations, cash flows and financial condition, operating and capital requirements, and other factors our board of directors may consider relevant. Although there are no material restrictions limiting, or that are likely to limit, our ability to pay dividends on our common shares, we presently intend to retain future earnings, if any, for use in our business and have no present intention to pay cash dividends on our common shares.

Recent Issuances of Unregistered Securities

All issuances of unregistered securities by the Company during the period from July 1, 2007 to June 30, 2008  were previously reported on the reports on Form 10-QSB, Form 10-Q and Form 8-K filed by the Company during that period. During the year ended June 30, 2010 and since January 1, 2009, the Company issued the following unregistered securities:


On January 27, 2009, the Company issued 2,500,000 common shares to directors, officers and consultants as compensation for services rendered at a fair value of $250,000.  The shares were valued at an estimated fair market value of $0.10 per share based on the prevailing quoted market price on the date of issue.


On April 21, 2009, the Company issued 1,600,000 common shares to directors, officers and consultants as compensation for services rendered at a fair value of $128,000. The shares were valued at an estimated fair market value of $0.08 per share based on the prevailing quoted market price on the date of issue.


On June 24, 2009, the Company issued 750,000 common shares and 375,000 share purchase warrants valued at $131,924 to a director and to a special advisory member to the Board of Directors as incentive for their current and future services. The share purchase warrants issued are exercisable at $0.20 per share for a period of two years from the date of issuance.


Between June 15, 2009 and June 30, 2009, the Company closed a private placement comprising of 6,800,000 units for gross proceeds of $680,000.  Each unit consists of one common share and one-half share purchase warrant. Each warrant is exercisable at $0.20 per share for a period of two years from date of issuance.  In connection with the private placement, the Company paid 408,000 common shares and 408,000 broker warrants valued at $0.10 per unit as commission. Each broker warrant is exercisable at $0.10 per share for a period of 2 years from the date of issuance.  We offered and sold the securities in the 2009 Private Placement outside the United States in compliance with Rule 903 of Regulation S under the Securities Act. Each purchaser of securities in the 2009 Private Placement has represented to us that it is not a U.S. Person, and is not acquiring the securities for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person or person in the United States.




36






On August 17, 2009, the Company issued 2,250,000 common shares to directors, officers and consultants as compensation for services rendered at a fair value of $382,500. The shares were valued at an estimated fair market value of $0.17 per share based on the prevailing quoted market price on the date of issue.


On October 5, 2009 the Company issued 500,000 shares of common stock, valued at $340,000, and 250,000 share purchase warrants valued at $113,125 to a director.  The shares were valued at an estimated fair market value of $0.68 per share based on the prevailing quoted market price on the date of issue. The share purchase warrants issued are exercisable at $0.58 per share for a period of two years from date of issuance.  The warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The following assumptions were used: risk free interest rate – 2.25%; expected volatility – 172%; dividend yield – NIL; and expected life – 2 years.


On March 15, 2010, the Company closed a private placement of 21,666,667 units for gross proceeds of $6,500,000 (the “2010 Offering”).  Each unit consists of one common share and one common share purchase warrant.  Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share at an exercise price of $0.50 for a period of three years following the later of March 15, 2010 and the date of listing on the TSX-V, which occurred on May 5, 2010 under the trading symbol EGZ.  The expiry of the warrants may be accelerated by the Company if the common shares trade at a price greater than $0.75 at any time after 9 months from March 15, 2010 for a period of 21 consecutive days on the OTC Bulletin Board ("OTCBB") or the TSX-V, provided that the Company has filed, and had declared effective, the Registration Statement (as defined below).


The units were issued together with listing and filing rights, which rights may be converted into an escalating number of common shares if the Company does not complete its TSX-V Listing or file a resale registration statement for the securities issued in connection with the 2010 Offering (the “Registration Statement”) by certain specific dates.  A maximum of 17,333,333 common shares may be issued pursuant to such rights.


In the event that the common shares of the Company had not commenced trading on the TSX-V on or before June 15, 2010, each holder of a unit share would have been entitled to be issued one-tenth of one common share (each whole share a “Listing Rights Share”) on June 15, 2010 and an additional one-tenth of one Listing Rights Share on every six month anniversary thereafter in which the Company fails to complete the TSX-V Listing until June 15, 2012 such that the maximum number of Listing Rights Shares which may be issued pursuant to such rights is equal to 50% of the Unit Shares issued under the 2010 Offering.


In the event that the Registration Statement has not been declared effective on or before December 15, 2010, each holder of a unit share shall be entitled to be issued one-tenth of one common share (each whole share a “Filing Rights Share”) starting on December 15, 2010 and an additional one-tenth of one Filing Rights Share on every six month anniversary thereafter in which the Company fails to have the Registration Statement declared effective until December 15, 2011 such that the maximum number of Filing Rights Shares which may be issued pursuant to such rights is equal to 30% of the number of Unit Shares issued under the 2010 Offering.


As consideration for their services in connection with the brokered offerings, Clarus Securities Inc. and Byron Securities Limited (together, the “Agents”) were (i) paid a cash commission of 6% of the gross proceeds of the brokered offerings, (ii) issued 870,000 Class A broker warrants, and (iii) issued 870,000 Class B broker warrants. Each Class A broker warrant entitles the holder to acquire one common share at an exercise price of US$0.30 until March 15, 2012. Each Class B broker warrant entitles the holder to acquire one common share at an exercise price of US$0.50 at any time after a corresponding number of Class A broker warrants have been exercised by the particular Agent and on or before May 5, 2013. In addition, Clarus was issued 400,000 common shares and 400,000 Class C broker warrants as consideration for certain advisory services in connection with the brokered offerings. Each Class C broker warrant entitles the holder to acquire one common share at an exercise price of US$0.30 until March 15, 2013. During July 2010, the Company issued 500,000 common share purchase warrants to Clarus for services it provided in connection with the listing of our common shares on the TSX-V. Each such warrant entitles the holder to acquire one common share at an exercise price of US$0.20 until July 2, 2012.


We offered and sold the securities in the brokered and non-brokered offerings outside the United States in compliance with Rule 903 of Regulation S under the Securities Act. Each purchaser of such securities has represented to us that it is not a “U.S. person”, as defined under Regulation S (a “U.S. Person”), and is not acquiring the securities for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person or person in the United States.

ITEM 6. – SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

Omitted.  Refer to the financial statements included within this report.



ITEM 7. - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF PLAN OF OPERATION


Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included herein.  Further, this MD&A should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Financial Statements and Notes to Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the years ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009, as well as the “Business” and “Risk Factors” sections of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.  The Company's financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles


Management’s Discussion and Analysis contains various “forward looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, regarding future events or the future financial performance of the Company that involve risks and uncertainties. Certain statements included in this Form 10-Q, including, without limitation, statements related to anticipated cash flow sources and uses, and words including but not limited to “anticipates”, “believes”, “plans”, “expects”, “future” and similar statements or expressions, identify forward looking statements. Any forward-looking statements herein are subject to certain risks and uncertainties in the Company’s business and any changes in current accounting rules, all of which may be beyond the control of the Company. The Company adopted at management’s discretion, the most conservative recognition of revenue based on the most astringent guidelines of the SEC. Management will elect additional changes to revenue recognition to comply with the most conservative SEC recognition on a forward going accrual basis as the model is replicated with other similar markets (i.e. SBDC). The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth therein.


Based on the nature of our business, we anticipate incurring operating losses in the foreseeable future. We base this expectation, in part, on the fact that very few mineral properties in the exploration stage ultimately develop into producing, profitable mines. Our future financial results are also uncertain due to a number of factors, some of which are outside our control. These factors include, but are not limited to:

- our ability to raise additional funding;

- the market price for vanadium, gold and uranium;

- the results of our proposed exploration programs on our mineral properties; and

- our ability to find joint venture partners for the development of our property interests.


Any future equity financing will cause existing shareholders to experience dilution of their interest in our company. In the event we are not successful in raising additional financing, we anticipate that we will not be able to proceed with our business plan. In such a case, we may decide to discontinue our current business plan and seek other business opportunities in the resource sector. Any business opportunity would require our management to perform diligence on possible acquisition of additional resource properties. Such due diligence would likely include purchase investigation costs such as professional fees by consulting geologists, preparation of geological reports on the properties, conducting title searches and travel costs for site visits. It is anticipated that such costs will not be sufficient to acquire any resource property and additional funds will be required to close any possible acquisition.


During this period, we will need to maintain our periodic filings with the appropriate regulatory authorities and will incur legal and accounting costs. In the event no other such opportunities are available and we cannot raise additional capital to sustain operations, we may be forced to discontinue business. We do not have any specific alternative business opportunities in mind and have not planned for any such contingency.


Due to our lack of operating history and present inability to generate revenues, our auditors have stated their opinion that there currently exists substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.


Plan of Operation

Our plan of operations for the period until the end of the calendar year ending December 31, 2010 (to the end of the Company’s second quarter 2011) is to complete the following objectives within the time periods specified, subject to our obtaining the necessary funding and/or permits for continued exploration of the mineral properties. The following table, although subject to revision and although assurances can be provided that the objectives will be reached, summarizes the anticipated exploration expenditures on our current properties for the period until December 31, 2010.



38






Estimated Exploration Budget

Our plan is to incur approximately $1,000,000 on exploration up to December 31, 2010 and approximately $20,00 on other projects


Future Programs

The property merits an ambitious exploration program consisting of exploratory and infill diamond drilling over vanadium-bearing zones identified by diamond drilling and trenching completed in 2008 and 2009. The goal of the program is to establish a compliant vanadium resource in the Jaky, Manga and Mainty Zones at a minimum, and to continue exploration on other less well-developed target areas mainly the Fondrana and Maitso Zones. A 7,000 meter, 35-hole drill program will employ two Boart Longyear diamond drills and will include a number of step-out drill holes along the main vanadium trend to verify additional mineralized zones previously confirmed through trenching.


Our National Instrument 43-101 compliant resource estimate confirmed that a significant amount of vanadium has been discovered in two mineralized zones that account for a very small portion (1.35 kilometers) of the overall 21-kilometre trend of continuous vanadium mineralization.


The Manga zone has a high-grade core with vanadium values assaying as high as 1.2% V2O5 and is open along strike to the south and at depth. In just 500 meters of strike-length drilled to date, the Manga zone accounts for 77% of the total resource estimate.


To date, 131 diamond drill holes and 151 trenches, totaling 38,643 meters have been completed on the Green Giant Property.  Our management  expects, but cannot guarantee, to complete a NI 43-101 compliant preliminary economic assessment (scoping) study by the end of this fiscal year.


The economic potential of the property rests upon the ability to extract vanadium using reasonable, potentially economic parameters. We are carrying out further larger sample tests and more complete mineralogy and metallurgical testing of vanadium ores to establish the technological and economic parameters of vanadium processing. The goal of this work is to identify a potentially economic processing method to extract vanadium from both the vanadium silicate and vanadium oxide types, which are known to exist on the property.



RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

We have had no operating revenues from inception on March 1, 2004 through to the period ended June 30, 2010. Our activities have been financed from the proceeds of share subscriptions.  From inception, on March 1, 2004, to June 30, 2010, we raised net aggregate proceeds of $24,285,694 from private offerings of our securities.


For the period from inception, March 1, 2004, to June 30, 2010, we incurred a loss before income taxes of $47,200,285.  Expenses included $24,084,241 in mineral property and exploration costs. These costs charged to operations were for the acquisition of the Madagascar properties, Sagar Properties in Canada and other abandoned properties.  This amount includes ancillary costs related to the mineral properties. We also incurred $2,449,499 in professional fees since inception.  In addition, since inception, we have recorded general and administrative expenses of $3,495,720; stock based compensation valued at $18,799,853, a foreign exchange translation gain of $745,427, donated services and expenses of $18,750 and total other income (including interest) of $948,714.


Management anticipates spending approximately $250,000 to $300,000 in ongoing general and administrative expenses per quarter for the next twelve months.  These general and administrative expenses are primarily costs relating to running the office and include things like marketing expenses, transfer agent fees, rent and other general office expenses.   However, the overall general and administration expenses will vary in direct proportion with the level of activity relating to future acquisitions and exploration programs.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As at June 30, 2010, we had cash on hand of $2,505,480 and a working capital of $2,434,546.  Our business has been funded to date through the sale of our common shares.




39






From time to time we hold a significant portion of cash reserves in Canadian dollars. Due to foreign exchange rate fluctuations, the value of these Canadian dollar reserves can result in both translation gains and losses in US dollar terms.  If there was to be a significant decline in the Canadian dollar versus the US Dollar the US dollar cash position would also significantly decline.  We have not entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations.  Such foreign exchange declines could cause us to experience losses.


There are no assurances that we will be able to achieve further sales of common shares or any other form of additional financing. If our company is unable to achieve the financing necessary to continue the plan of operations, then we will not be able to continue our exploration and our venture will fail.


We expect to have sufficient working capital to fund our operations for the next two to three quarters.


Capital Financing

From inception to June 30, 2004, we raised $59,750 through the issuance of 9,585,000 common shares.


For the year ended June 30, 2005, we did not raise any new financing.


For the year ended June 30, 2006, we raised $795,250 through the issuance of 2,750,000 common shares and 2,265,000 common share purchase warrants.


For the year ended June 30, 2007, we raised $17,300,000 through the issuance of 34,600,000 common shares and 29,000,250 common share purchase warrants.


For the year ended June 30, 2008, we did not raise any new financing.


For the year ended June 30, 2009, we raised $680,000 through the issuance of 6,800,000 common shares and 3,400,000 common share purchase warrants.


For the year ended June 30, 2010, we raised $6,500,000 through the issuance of 21,666,667 common shares and 21,666,667 common share purchase warrants.


We anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common shares. However, our company cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of common shares for additional phases of exploration. Our management believes that debt financing will not be an alternative for funding additional phases of exploration. We do not have any arrangements in place for any future equity financing.


Issuances of Securities

We have funded our business to date from sales of our common shares. On March 15, 2010, we completed brokered and non-brokered offerings consisting of 21,666,667 units at US$0.30 per unit for gross proceeds of US$6,500,000. We sold 14,500,000 units for gross proceeds of US$4,350,000 in the brokered offerings and 7,166,667 units for gross proceeds of $2,150,000 in the non-brokered offerings. Each unit consisted of one common share and one common share purchase warrant. Each common share purchase warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share at an exercise price of US$0.50 for a period beginning July 15, 2010 and ending May 5, 2013. We may accelerate the expiry of the common share purchase warrants if our common shares trade at a closing price greater than US$0.75 per common share for 21 consecutive days on the OTCBB or TSX-V at any time after December 15, 2010, provided the registration statement has been declared and remains effective.


In connection with the brokered and non-brokered offerings, we agreed to use commercially reasonable best efforts to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission and cause it to become effective as soon as practicable after the closing of the brokered and non-brokered offerings, and to cause the registration statement to remain effective until the earlier of: (i) the date on which all the common shares issued in the brokered and non-brokered offerings and all of the common shares acquirable upon the exercise of the common share purchase warrants issued in the brokered and non-brokered offerings have been sold pursuant to the registration statement or Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933; and (ii) the date on which all such common shares have ceased to be outstanding (whether as a result of the repurchase and cancellation, conversion or otherwise), provided that the selling shareholders furnish in writing to us all information within their possession or knowledge that we or our counsel may reasonably require in order to keep the registration statement continuously effective.




40






The units were issued together with listing rights and filing rights.  If our common shares had not commenced trading on the TSX-V on or before June 15, 2010, each holder of a common share comprising a unit issued in the brokered and non-brokered offerings would have been entitled to be issued one-tenth of one common share beginning on June 15, 2010 and an additional one-tenth common share pursuant to such listing right on every six month anniversary thereafter in which our common shares do not commence trading on the TSX-V until June 15, 2012, such that the maximum number of common shares which may be issued pursuant to the listing rights is equal to 50% of the common shares comprising the units issued in the brokered and non-brokered offerings. As our common shares commenced trading on the TSX-V on May 5, 2010, all listing rights have expired and no common shares will be issued pursuant to such listing rights. Accordingly, we are not seeking to register any common shares issuable pursuant to listing rights under the registration statement. If the registration statement has not been declared effective on or before December 15, 2010, each holder of a common share comprising a unit issued in the brokered and non-brokered offerings will be entitled to be issued one-tenth of one common share beginning on December 15, 2010 and an additional one-tenth of one common share pursuant to such filing right on every six month anniversary thereafter in which the registration statement has not been declared effective until December 15, 2011, such that the maximum number of common shares which may be issued pursuant to filing rights is equal to 30% of the common shares comprising the units issued in the brokered and non-brokered offerings.


In connection with the strategic investments by Dundee Corporation and Consolidated Thompson Iron Mines Limited, we granted Dundee and Consolidated Thompson with certain pre-emptive rights to participate in our future financings and the right to appoint one member to our board of directors. Dundee will have the right to participate for up to 20% of all future financings of the Company until March 15, 2012, provided it holds 10% of our issued and outstanding common shares. Upon the closing of the brokered offering, Dundee was granted the right to immediately appoint one member to the Company’s board of directors, and provided it holds 10% of our issued and outstanding common shares, Dundee will have the right to nominate one person to the list of director nominees forwarded by management of the Company for election at the annual shareholders meeting. Consolidated Thompson will have the right to participate for up to 7% of all future financings of the Company until March 15, 2012, provided it holds 5% of our issued and outstanding common shares. Upon the closing of the non-brokered offering, Consolidated Thompson was granted the right to immediately appoint one member to the Company’s board of directors, and provided it holds 5% of our issued and outstanding common shares, Consolidated Thompson will have the right to nominate one person to the list of director nominees forwarded by management of the Company for election at the annual shareholders meeting.

Each Class A broker warrant entitles the holder to acquire one common share at an exercise price of US$0.30 until March 15, 2012. Each Class B broker warrant entitles the holder to acquire one common share at an exercise price of US$0.50 at any time after a corresponding number of Class A broker warrants have been exercised by the particular Agent and on or before May 5, 2013.  In addition, Clarus was issued 400,000 common shares and 400,000 Class C broker warrants as consideration for its services in connection with the brokered offerings. Each Class C broker warrant entitles the holder to acquire one common share at an exercise price of US$0.30 until March 15, 2013. We also agreed to pay the legal fees of Agents’ counsel incurred in connection with the brokered offerings and the preparation and review of the registration statement. In July 2010, we issued 500,000 common share purchase warrants to Clarus for services it provided in connection with the listing of our common shares on the TSX-V. Each such warrant entitles the holder to acquire one common share at an exercise price of US$0.20 until July 2, 2012.


A registration statement was filed to register an aggregate of 52,873,332 common shares of which (i) 22,066,667 common shares are currently outstanding, (ii) 24,306,667 common shares are acquirable upon the exercise of the common share purchase warrants and broker warrants issued in connection with the brokered and non-brokered offerings at the exercise prices and exercise periods described above and (iii) up to 6,499,998 common shares may be issued to the holders of common shares comprising the units issued in the brokered and non-brokered offerings in the event the registration statement is not declared effective by the dates specified above.

On August 22, 2007, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with Madagascar Minerals and Resources sarl ("Madagascar Minerals"), a company incorporated under the laws of Madagascar. The joint venture was established with the Company owning a 75% undivided interest and Madagascar Minerals the remaining 25% interest.

We anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common shares. However, we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of our common shares for additional phases of exploration. We believe that debt financing will not be an alternative for funding additional phases of exploration. We do not have any arrangements in place for any future equity financing.


There are no assurances that we will be able to achieve further sales of our common shares or any other form of additional financing. If we are unable to achieve the financing necessary to continue our plan of operations, then we will not be able to continue our exploration and our venture will fail.


Foreign exchange matters

From time to time we hold a significant portion of our cash reserves in Canadian dollars. Due to foreign exchange rate fluctuations, the value of these Canadian dollar reserves can result in either translation gains or losses in US dollar terms. If there was to be a significant decline in the Canadian dollar versus the US Dollar our US dollar cash position would also significantly decline. We have not entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations. Such foreign exchange declines could cause us to experience losses.


Off-balance sheet arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements including arrangements that would affect the liquidity, capital resources, market risk support and credit risk support or other benefits.


CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.


Mineral Property Costs

The Company has been in the exploration stage since its inception on March 1, 2004, and has not yet realized any revenues from its mineral operations.  Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred.  Mineral property acquisition costs are initially capitalized when incurred using the guidance in ASC Topic-930,  "Whether Mineral Rights Are Tangible or Intangible Assets".  The Company assesses the carrying costs for impairment under ASC Topic-360, at each fiscal quarter end.  

When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs then incurred to develop such property, will be capitalized.  Such costs will be amortized using the units of production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve. If mineral properties are subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs will be charged to operations.


Financial Instruments

The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, amounts receivable, marketable securities and accounts payable were estimated to approximate their carrying values due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments.  The Company's exploration operations are in Canada and Madagascar, which result in exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency rates.  Financial risk is the risk to the Company's operations that arise from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates.  Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk


Foreign Currency Translation

The Company's functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar.  Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated in accordance with ASC Topic-830, "Foreign Currency Translation", using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date.  Gains and losses arising on settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the Statement of Operations.  Foreign currency transactions are primarily undertaken in Canadian dollars and Malagasy Aviary



43






 


Stock Based Compensation

The Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of ASC Topic-718, using the modified retrospective transition method.  The Company had not issued any stock options or share based payments prior to January 1, 2006.  Accordingly, there was no effect on the Company's reported loss from operations, cash flows or loss per share as a result of adopting ASC Topic-718.


RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

FASB Accounting Standards Codification — Effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009, the FASB has defined a new hierarchy for U.S. GAAP and established the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) as the sole source for authoritative guidance to be applied by nongovernmental entities. The adoption of the ASC changes the manner in which U.S. GAAP guidance is referenced, but it does not have any impact on the Company’s Balance Sheet or Statement of Operations.


Beginning July 1, 2008, the Company partially applied FAS 157 (ASC Topic–820) as allowed by FASB Staff Position ("FSP") 157-2, (ASC Topic–820-10) which delayed the effective date of ASC Topic–820 for nonfinancial assets and liabilities.  As of July 1, 2008 the Company has applied the provisions of ASC Topic–820 to its financial instruments and the impact was not material.  The Company adopted ASC Topic–820 to its non-financial assets and liabilities. The adoption did not have a material impact on the financial statements.


The Company primarily applies the market approach for recurring fair value measurements and utilizes the best available information.  Accordingly, the Company uses valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.  The Company is able to classify fair value balances based on the observability of those inputs.


ASC Topic–820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value.  The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement).  The three levels of the fair value hierarchy defined by ASC Topic-820 are as follows:  


Level 1 - Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.  Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.  Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments such as exchange-traded derivatives, listed equities and U.S. government treasury securities.


Level 2 - Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.  Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies.  These models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, volatility factors, and current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace.  Instruments in this category include non-exchange-traded derivatives such as over the counter forwards, options and repurchase agreements.


Level 3

- Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources.  These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management's best estimate of fair value from the perspective of a market participant. Level 3 instruments include those that may be more structured or otherwise tailored to customers' needs.  At each balance sheet date, the Company performs an analysis of all instruments subject to ASC Topic–820 and includes in Level 3 all of those whose fair value is based on significant unobservable inputs.  


As of June 30, 2010, all of marketable securities owned by the Company were level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.




44






The Company adopted ASC Topic-855, “Subsequent Events,” which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued. The adoption of the ASC Topic-855 on June 30, 2010 did not have a material impact in these financial statements.

No other accounting standards or interpretations issued recently are expected to a have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, operations or cash flows.



ITEM 7.1. - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We do not hold any derivative instruments and do not engage in any hedging activities. Most of our activity is the development and mining of our mining claim.



ITEM 8. - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The financial statements required by this Item, the accompanying notes thereto and the reports of independent accountants are included, as part of this Form 10-K immediately following the signature page.



ITEM 9. - CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

None.



ITEM 9A. - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Our management team, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), as of the last day of the fiscal period covered by this report, December 31, 2008. The term disclosure controls and procedures means our controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2010.


Management’s report on internal control over financial reporting

Our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f). Management is required to base its assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting on a suitable, recognized control framework, such as the framework developed by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO). The COSO framework, published in Internal Control-Integrated Framework, is known as the COSO Report. Our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, have has chosen the COSO framework on which to base its assessment.  Based on this evaluation, we have concluded that, as of June 30, 2010, internal controls and procedures were not effective to detect the inappropriate application of US GAAP rules as described below.


The matters involving internal controls and procedures that the Company’s management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (1) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; (2) lack of a majority of independent directors on the Company’s board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (3) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements; and (4) ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes.


Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Furthermore, smaller reporting companies face additional limitations. Smaller reporting companies employ fewer individuals and find it difficult to properly segregate duties. Often, one or two individuals control every aspect of the Company's operation and are in a position to override any system of internal control. Additionally, smaller reporting companies tend to utilize general accounting software packages that lack a rigorous set of software controls

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm over management’s assessment regarding internal control over financial controls due to a transition period established by rules of the SEC for non-accelerated filers.  Our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, report was not subject to attestation by the company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.


It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance that the objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of certain events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.


Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2010, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.



ITEM 9B. - OTHER INFORMATION

We are currently not involved in any litigation that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of our company or any of our subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting our company, our common stock, any of our subsidiaries or of our companies or our subsidiaries' officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect.

Audit Committee and Audit Committee Financial Expert

The Company has an audit committee and is comprised of John Sanderson, Richard Schler and Quentin Yarie, all of whom are financially literate.  Messers Sanderson and Yarie are independent directors as they do not have any involvement in the day to day operations of the Company.  In the opinion of the members of the audit committee, Mr. Schler qualifies as an audit committee financial expert, although he is not independent.  The audit committee is a key component of the Company’s commitment to maintaining a higher standard of corporate responsibility.


The audit committee assists our board of directors in its oversight of the company’s accounting and financial reporting processes and the audits of the company’s financial statements, including (i) the quality and integrity of the company’s financial statements, (ii) the company’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, (iii) the independent auditors’ qualifications and independence and (iv) the performance of the company’s internal audit functions and independent auditors, as well as other matters which may come before it as directed by the board of directors. Further, the audit committee, to the extent it deems necessary or appropriate, among its several other responsibilities, shall:

 

·

be responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention, termination and oversight of the work of any independent auditor engaged for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or performing other audit, review or attest services for the Company;

·

discuss the annual audited financial statements and the quarterly unaudited financial statements with management and the independent auditor prior to their filing with the SEC in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q;

·

review with the company’s financial management on a periodic basis (a) issues regarding accounting principles and financial statement presentations, including any significant changes in the company’s selection or application of accounting principles, and (b) the effect of any regulatory and accounting initiatives, as well as off-balance sheet structures, on the financial statements of the company;

·

monitor the Company’s policies for compliance with federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations and the Company’s policies on corporate conduct;

·

maintain open, continuing and direct communication between the board of directors, the committee and both the company’s independent auditors and its internal auditors; and

·

monitor our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, with the authority to initiate any special investigations of conflicts of interest, and compliance with federal, state and local laws and regulations, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires the Company’s directors and executive officers, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities, to file reports of beneficial ownership and changes in beneficial ownership of the Company’s securities with the SEC on Form 3 (Initial Statement of Beneficial Ownership), Form 4 (Statement of Changes of Beneficial Ownership of Securities) and Form 5 (Annual Statement of Beneficial Ownership of Securities).  Directors, executive officers and beneficial owners of more than 10% of the Company’s Common Stock are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms that they filed.

On April 21, 2009, our Board of Directors unanimously approved the re-pricing of 7,630,000 stock options outstanding under our 2006 Stock Option Plan by amending the exercise prices ranging between $0.55 to $0.85 per share to $0.15 per share. The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $128,328 as a result of this modification. Our Board of Directors determined to make this adjustment to the exercise price of outstanding options so as to provide an incentive to holders of outstanding options to exercise those options, as well as to permit option-holders to participate in future increases in the Company’s value (as compared to the Company’s current value on a per share basis).

a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful;

·

a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys' fees actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. Indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper; and

·

to the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the corporation shall indemnify him against expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense.


56







Our articles of incorporation require us to indemnify our directors and officers against all damages incurred in connection with our business to the fullest extent provided or allowed by law.


Our bylaws provide that we will advance all expenses incurred to any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suite or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was our director or officer, or is or was serving at our request as a director or executive officer of another company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, prior to the final disposition of the proceeding, promptly following request. This advanced of expenses is to be made upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay said amounts should it be ultimately determined that the person was not entitled to be indemnified under our bylaws or otherwise.


Our bylaws also provide that no advance shall be made by us to any officer in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, if a determination is reasonably and promptly made: (a) by the board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the proceeding; or (b) if such quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, that the facts known to the decision-making party at the time such determination is made demonstrate clearly and convincingly that such person acted in bad faith or in a manner that such person did not believe to be in or not opposed to our best interests.


Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers or controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Commission this indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm



To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Energizer Resources Inc.


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Energizer Resources Inc. (the "Company") as at June 30, 2010 and 2009 and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss and stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended and accumulated for the period from March 1, 2004 (Date of Inception) to June 30, 2010.  These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Energizer Resources Inc. as at June 30, 2010 and 2009 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended and accumulated for the period from March 1, 2004 (Date of Inception) to June 30, 2010 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has not generated any revenues or profitable operations since inception and will need equity or debt financing to begin realizing upon its business plan.  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 result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Energizer Resources Inc. (formerly Uranium Star Corp.)

(An Exploration Stage Company)

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

For the year ended June 30, 2010

(Expressed in US Dollars)




1.

Exploration Stage Company and Going Concern


Energizer Resources Inc. (formerly Uranium Star Corp. referred to as "the Company") was incorporated in the State of Nevada, United States of America on March 1, 2004 and reincorporated in the State of Minnesota on May 14, 2008.  The Company is an Exploration Stage Company, as defined by ASC Topic-915, "Development Stage Entities".  During fiscal 2008 the Company incorporated Uranium Star (Mauritius) Ltd., a subsidiary in the country of Mauritius and Energizer Resources Madagascar Sarl (formerly Uranium Star Madagascar Sarl), a subsidiary in the country of Madagascar.  In fiscal 2009, the Company incorporated THB Venture Ltd, a company incorporated in Mauritius to hold the interest in Energizer Resources Minerals Sarl (formerly Uranium Star Minerals Sarl) which holds the Madagascar properties. The Company's principal business is the acquisition and exploration of mineral resources.  The Company has not presently determined whether its properties contain mineral reserves that are economically recoverable.


These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.  The Company has yet to generate revenue from mining operations or pay dividends and is unlikely to do so in the immediate or foreseeable future.  The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations and the attainment of profitable operations.  As at June 30, 2010, the Company has accumulated losses of $47,200,285. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.


2.

Significant Accounting Policies


Principals of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Energizer Resources Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Uranium Star (Mauritius) Ltd., THB Ventures Ltd, Energizer Resources Madagascar Sarl and its now 100% owned interest in Energizer Resources Minerals Sarl.  All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.  These consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"), and are expressed in US dollars.  The Company's fiscal year end is June 30.


Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period.  Significant management estimates related to the determination of the useful service life of the equipment, a valuation allowance for future income tax assets, accounts payable and accrued laities, valuation of stock based compensation and warrants and foreign  currency translation .  Actual results could differ from those estimates.


Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share

The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC Topic-260, "Earnings per Share".  ASC Topic-260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the Statement of Operations.  Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period.  Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if converted method.  In computing Diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants.  Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.  Basic and diluted loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  Diluted EPS and the weighted average number of common shares exclude all dilutive potential shares since their effect is anti-dilutive.

Significant Accounting Policies - continued


Comprehensive Income (Loss)

ASC Topic-220, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances.  As at June 30, 2010, the Company's only component of other comprehensive income is unrealized losses on marketable securities.


Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.


Marketable Securities

The Company classifies and accounts for debt and equity securities in accordance with ASC Topic-320, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities".  The Company has classified all of its marketable securities as available for sale, thus securities are recorded at fair market value and any associated unrealized gain or loss, net of tax, are included as a separate component of stockholders’ equity, “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss.”

 

Equipment

Equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation, and consists of exploration equipment.  Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over 5 years.

 

Long Lived Assets

In accordance with the ASC Topic-360, "Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets", the carrying value of intangible assets and other long lived assets is reviewed on a regular basis for the existence of facts or circumstances that may suggest impairment.  The Company recognizes impairment when the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset.  Impairment losses, if any, are measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its estimated fair value.


Mineral Property Costs

The Company has been in the exploration stage since its inception on March 1, 2004, and has not yet realized any revenues from its mineral operations.  Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred.  Mineral property acquisition costs are initially capitalized when incurred using the guidance in ASC Topic-930,  "Whether Mineral Rights Are Tangible or Intangible Assets".  The Company assesses the carrying costs for impairment under ASC Topic-360, at each fiscal quarter end.  


When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs then incurred to develop such property, will be capitalized.  Such costs will be amortized using the units of production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve. If mineral properties are subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs will be charged to operations.


Financial Instruments

The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, amounts receivable, marketable securities and accounts payable and accrued liabilities were estimated to approximate their carrying values due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments.  The Company's exploration operations are in Canada and Madagascar which result in exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency rates.  Financial risk is the risk to the Company's operations that arise from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates.  Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk.

Significant Accounting Policies - continued


Foreign Currency Translation

The Company's functional and reporting currency is United States Dollars.  Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated in accordance with ASC Topic-830, "Foreign Currency Translation", using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date.  Gains and losses arising on settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the Statement of Operations.


Stock Based Compensation

The Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of ASC Topic-718, using the modified retrospective transition method.  The Company had not issued any stock options or share based payments prior to January 1, 2006.  Accordingly, there was no effect on the Company's reported loss from operations, cash flows or loss per share as a result of adopting ASC Topic-718.


Income Taxes

The Company has adopted ASC Topic–740 "Accounting for Income Taxes" as of its inception.  Pursuant to ASC Topic-740, the Company is required to compute tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward.  Potential benefits of net operating losses have not been recognized in these consolidated financial statements as the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years.


Management does not believe unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change within twelve months of the balance sheet date.  Interest and penalties related to income tax matters are recognized in income tax expense.  As of June 30, 2010, there is no accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions.


Asset Retirement Obligations

The operations of the Company are subject to regulations governing the environment, including future site restoration for mineral properties.  The Company recognizes the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred and when a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made.  If a reasonable estimate of fair value cannot be made in the period the asset retirement is incurred, the liability is recognized when a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made.  The Company has determined that there are no asset retirement or any other environmental obligations currently existing with respect to its mineral properties and therefore no liability has been recognized.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements

FASB Accounting Standards Codification — Effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009, the FASB has defined a new hierarchy for U.S. GAAP and established the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) as the sole source for authoritative guidance to be applied by nongovernmental entities. The adoption of the ASC changes the manner in which U.S. GAAP guidance is referenced, but it does not have any impact on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet or Consolidated Statement of Operations.


Beginning July 1, 2008, the Company partially applied FAS 157 (ASC Topic–820) as allowed by FASB Staff Position ("FSP") 157-2, (ASC Topic–820-10) which delayed the effective date of ASC Topic–820 for non-financial assets and liabilities.  As of July 1, 2008 the Company has applied the provisions of ASC Topic–820 to its financial instruments and the impact was not material.  The Company adopted ASC Topic–820 to its non-financial assets and liabilities. The adoption did not have a material impact on the financial statements.


The Company primarily applies the market approach for recurring fair value measurements and utilizes the best available information.  Accordingly, the Company uses valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.  The Company is able to classify fair value balances based on the observability of those inputs.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements - continued

ASC Topic–820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value.  The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement).  The three levels of the fair value hierarchy defined by ASC Topic-820 are as follows:  


 

Level 1 - Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.  Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments such as exchange-traded derivatives, listed equities and U.S. government treasury securities.
   
Level 2 - Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.  Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies.  These models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, volatility factors, and current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace.  Instruments in this category include non-exchange-traded derivatives such as over the counter forwards, options and repurchase agreements.
   
Level 3 - Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources.  These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management's best estimate of fair value from the perspective of a market participant. Level 3 instruments include those that may be more structured or otherwise tailored to customers' needs.  At each balance sheet date, the Company performs an analysis of all instruments subject to ASC Topic–820 and includes in Level 3 all of those whose fair value is based on significant unobservable inputs.  


As of June 30, 2010, all of marketable securities owned by the Company were level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.


The Company adopted ASC Topic-855, “Subsequent Events,” which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued. The adoption of the ASC Topic-855 on June 30, 2010 did not have a material impact in these consolidated financial statements.

Mineral Properties


Three Horses Property, Madagascar, Africa

On August 22, 2007, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with Madagascar Minerals and Resources Sarl ("MMR"), a Madagascar incorporated company.  The joint venture was established with the Company owning a 75% undivided interest and MMR owning the remaining 25% interest in the Three Horses Property.  In order to acquire the 75% interest, the Company paid a total of $765,000, and issued of 1,250,000 common shares and 500,000 share purchase warrants of the Company.  Each share purchase warrant is exercisable at $1.00 per share for a period of 2 years from the date of issuance.  On December 10, 2007, the Company issued 1,250,000 common shares valued at $375,000 based on the prevailing quoted market price of $0.30 per share and 500,000 now expired share purchase warrants valued at $60,560 using the Black-Scholes pricing model.  Accordingly, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $1,200,560 which represents the total cash paid and the value of common shares and warrants issued, as it has not yet been determined whether the property has there are proven or probable reserves.


The properties in the joint venture are comprised of mineral permits consisting of 36 "squares" with each square representing approximately 6.25 sq. kilometres.  The properties are located in the District of Toliara and are referenced as TN 12306, P(R); TN 12814, P(R); TN 12887 P(R); TN 12888 P(R); TN 13020 P(R); TN 13021 P(R) as issued by the Bureau de Cadastre Minier de Madagascar ("BCMM") pursuant to the Mining Code 1999 (as amended) and its implementing decrees.

Sagar Property - Romanet Horst, Labrador Trough, Quebec, Canada

On May 2, 2006, the Company signed a letter of intent for an option to acquire a 75% interest in 200 claims located in northern Quebec, Canada.  The vendor had the right and option to sell the remaining 25% interest in the property.  This agreement was subject to a NSR dated May 27, 1992, as amended November 3, 1993.  The vendor had previously acquired a 100% interest in the property, subject to a 1% NSR on certain claims, and a 0.5% NSR on other claims.  The vendor has the right to buy back half of the 1% NSR for $200,000 and half of the 0.5% NSR for $100,000.  In order to exercise its option, the Company issued 2,000,000 common shares, 2,000,000 now expired share purchase warrants and incurred exploration expenditures greater than $2,000,000 on the property before September 1, 2008.  The Company has incurred exploration expenditures of $7,363,663 as at June 30, 2010.  Further, on February 28, 2007 the vendor exercised its option to sell its remaining 25% interest on the property to the Company for 1,000,000 common shares (valued at $1,219,000) and 1,000,000 share purchase warrants valued at $752,985 using the Black-Scholes pricing model.  The Company now owns a 100% interest in this property.

On March 15, 2010, the Company closed a private placement of 21,666,667 units for gross proceeds of $6,500,000 (the “2010 Offering”).  Each unit consists of one common share and one common share purchase warrant.  Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share at an exercise price of $0.50 for a period of three years following the later of March 15, 2010 and the date of listing on the TSX-V, which occurred on May 5, 2010 under the trading symbol EGZ.  The expiry of the warrants may be accelerated by the Company if the common shares trade at a price greater than $0.75 at any time after 9 months from March 15, 2010 for a period of 21 consecutive days on the OTC Bulletin Board ("OTCBB") or the TSX-V, provided that the Company has filed, and had declared effective, the Registration Statement (as defined below).


The units were issued together with listing and filing rights, which rights may be converted into an escalating number of common shares if the Company does not complete its TSX-V Listing or file a resale registration statement for the securities issued in connection with the 2010 Offering (the “Registration Statement”) by certain specific dates.  A maximum of 17,333,333 common shares may be issued pursuant to such rights.  In the event that the Registration Statement has not been declared effective on or before December 15, 2010, each holder of a unit share shall be entitled to be issued one-tenth of one common share (each whole share a “Filing Rights Share”) starting on December 15, 2010 and an additional one-tenth of one Filing Rights Share on every six month anniversary thereafter in which the Company fails to have the Registration Statement declared effective until December 15, 2011 such that the maximum number of Filing Rights Shares which may be issued pursuant to such rights is equal to 30% of the number of Unit Shares issued under the 2010 Offering.


As consideration for their services in connection with the brokered offerings, Clarus Securities Inc. and Byron Securities Limited (together, the “Agents”) were (i) paid a cash commission of 6% of the gross proceeds of the brokered offerings, (ii) issued 870,000 Class A broker warrants, and (iii) issued 870,000 Class B broker warrants. Each Class A broker warrant entitles the holder to acquire one common share at an exercise price of US$0.30 until March 15, 2012. Each Class B broker warrant entitles the holder to acquire one common share at an exercise price of US$0.50 at any time after a corresponding number of Class A broker warrants have been exercised by the Agent and on or before May 5, 2013. In addition, Clarus was issued 400,000 common shares and 400,000 Class C broker warrants for certain advisory services in connection with the brokered offerings. Each Class C broker warrant entitles the holder to acquire one common share at an exercise price of US$0.30 until March 15, 2013.
