SANTA FE GOLD CORPORATION
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2014
(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Santa Fe Gold Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Santa Fe” or “Company”) is a U.S. copper, silver and gold exploration and mining company. The Company’s two principal projects are:

	•	The Lordsburg Copper Project, which consists of multiple square miles of patented and unpatented claims within the historic, inactive northern Lordsburg Mining district. The Lordsburg district is located along the middle of the Santa Rita lineament that extends from Copper Flats, through Santa Rita and Chico-Tyrone and into Mexico to Bisbee-Cananea. On June 30, 2008, The Lordsburg Mining Company (“Lordsburg Mining”), a New Mexico corporation, purchased from St. Cloud Mining Company, mineral processing equipment and real property situated adjacent to the Banner mill site located south of Lordsburg, New Mexico. The real property included in the purchase consists of 70 patented and 5 unpatented mining claims, and assignments of mineral leases covering 17 patented and 6 unpatented mining claims. These mining claims and mineral leases, together with the patented mining claims Lordsburg Mining already owned in the area of the Banner mill site, cover approximately 1,500 acres (2.3 square miles) and comprise the core of the northern Lordsburg Mining District. Historical production of copper, gold and silver from the district has been substantial. Lordsburg Mining assumed certain potential environmental obligations in connection with the real property, including those related to reclamation of old workings, should such obligations arise in the future. In December 2014, the Company staked an additional 289 claims, increasing the Lordsburg Copper Project’s land position by approximately nine square miles to approximately 13 square miles.

	•	Our Summit Silver-Gold Project, a fully-permitted silver-gold mine and mill, located near Duncan, Arizona on the New Mexico-Arizona border. In 2006, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Lordsburg Mining. With the acquisition of Lordsburg Mining, the Company acquired the Summit Silver-Gold Project, consisting of approximately 117.6 acres of patented and approximately 520 acres of unpatented mining claims in Grant County, New Mexico; approximately 257 acres of patented mining claims in Hidalgo County, New Mexico; and milling equipment including a ball mill and floatation plant in Sierra County, New Mexico. In April 2012, the Company commenced commercial production at the Summit silver–gold mine. In November 2013 mining operations were suspended at the Summit Silver-Gold Project and the project was placed on “care- and-maintenance.”

Santa Fe’s two primary strategic objectives include:

	•	Strategic Objectives -- Copper: To advance, with a strategic or financial partner, the Lordsburg Copper Project as a deep porphyry copper exploration project; and, to restart a high-grade underground copper mine in the Lordsburg mining district; and

	•	Strategic Objective -- Silver-Gold: To become a low-cost silver-gold producer by restarting the Summit Silver- Gold Project.

Presently, Santa Fe is in active discussions and negotiations with several strategic and financial partners concerning the Lordsburg Copper Project and the Company is exploring financing alternatives to restart the Summit Silver-Gold Project. No assurances can be given that the Company’s efforts will be successful. See “Risk Factors -- In the event that we are unable to raise additional capital to satisfy the terms and conditions of the negotiated restructuring of our senior secured indebtedness, we may be forced to seek reorganization or liquidation under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code” in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended June 30, 2014.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Going Concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. Should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern, it may be unable to realize the carrying value of its assets and to meet its liabilities as they become due.

The Company has incurred a loss of $2,763,296 for the six months ended December 31, 2014. At December 31, 2014, the Company had a total accumulated deficit of $88,745,784 and a working capital deficit of $28,236,260.

The Company began revenue generating operations during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, through the sales of precious metals and flux material. On November 8, 2013 the Company suspended all mining operations and placed the mine and mill on a care and maintenance program. For the three months ended December 31, 2014, the Company did not engage in any mining activities and did not generate any sales. The Company is currently working to restructure its debts and obtain adequate capital to restart operations in the Company’s fiscal 2015 year.

At December 31, 2014, the Company was in default on payments totaling approximately $9.0 million under its Senior Secured Gold Stream Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Waterton Global Value, L.P. (“Waterton”) and approximately $6.8 million under a gold stream agreement (the “Gold Stream Agreement”) with Sandstorm Gold Ltd. (“Sandstorm”). The Company’s consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.

To continue as a going concern, the Company is dependent on continued capital financing for project development, refinancing or repayment of various debt facilities and payment of operating and financing expenses until production at the Summit mine site attains cash flow to cover the Company’s operating costs. Presently, the Company is in active discussions and negotiations with several strategic and financial partners concerning the Lordsburg Copper Project and the Company is exploring financing alternatives to restart the Summit Silver-Gold Project. No assurances can be given that the Company’s efforts will be successful. See “Risk Factors -- In the event that we are unable to raise additional capital to satisfy the terms and conditions of the negotiated restructuring of our senior secured indebtedness, we may be forced to seek reorganization or liquidation under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code” in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for our year fiscal ended June 30, 2014.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Azco Mica, Inc., a Delaware corporation, The Lordsburg Mining Company, a New Mexico corporation, and Santa Fe Gold Barbados Corporation, a Barbados corporation. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassifications

Certain items in these consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.

Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 under different assumptions or conditions.

Significant estimates are used when accounting for the Company’s carrying value of mineral properties, fixed assets, depreciation and amortization, accruals, derivative instrument liabilities, taxes and contingencies, asset retirement obligations, revenue recognition, and stock-based compensation which are discussed in the respective notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value Measurements

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximated their related fair values as of December 30, 2014 and June 30, 2014, due to the relatively short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying value of the Company’s convertible notes payable approximates the fair value based on the terms at which the Company could obtain similar financing and the short term nature of these instruments.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all liquid investments purchased with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash balances. Restricted cash is excluded from cash and cash equivalents and is included in other assets.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable consist of trade receivables from precious metals sales of concentrate and flux. In evaluating the collectability of accounts receivable, the Company analyzes past results and identifies trends for each major payer source of revenue for the purpose of estimating an allowance for doubtful accounts. Data in each major payer source are regularly reviewed to evaluate the adequacy of the allowance, and actual write-offs are charged against the allowance. There was no allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2014, and June 30, 2014.

On June 30, 2013, the Company signed a Waiver of Default Letter (the “Letter”) with Waterton wherein the Company agreed to sell, convey, assign and transfer certain accounts receivable as consideration for Waterton’s waiver for non-payment under the Senior Secured Gold Stream Agreement. The transfer of the accounts receivable to Waterton are to be treated as payment towards outstanding interest amounts with any remaining transfer of receivables to be treated as a payment towards other indebtedness under the Credit Agreement, including principal on the note. The valuation of receivables sold under the Letter was finalized at $1,018,056. Additionally, $813,919 of collected accounts receivable sold to Waterton still remains to be remitted to them and is recorded in Accrued Liabilities at December 31, 2014.

Inventory

Major types of inventories include ore stockpile inventories, in-process inventories, siliceous flux material inventories and concentrate inventories. Inventories are carried at the lower of average cost or net realizable value. The net realizable value of ore stockpile inventories and in-process inventories represents the estimated future sales price of the product based on current and future metals prices, less the estimated costs to complete production and bring the product to sale. Concentrate inventories and siliceous flux material inventories are carried at the lower of full cost of production or net realizable value based on current and future metals prices. Write-downs of inventory are reported as a component of costs applicable to sales. The Company has no inventories at December 31, 2014.

Property, Equipment and Mine Development

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are carried at cost. Maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the life of the respective assets are expensed as incurred. Expenditures for new property or equipment and expenditures that extend the useful lives of existing property and equipment are capitalized and recorded at cost. Upon retirement, sale or other disposition, the cost and accumulated amortization are eliminated and the gain or loss is included in operations. Depreciation is taken over the estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives of property and equipment are shown below. Land is not depreciated.

	Estimated Useful
	Life
Leasehold improvements	3 Years
Office furniture and equipment	3 Years
Mine processing equipment and buildings	7 – 20 Years
Plant	3 – 9 Years
Tailings	3 Years
Environmental and permits	7 Years
Asset retirement obligation	5 Years
Automotive	3 – 5 Years
Software	5 Years

Mine Development

Mine development costs include engineering and metallurgical studies, drilling and other related costs to delineate an ore body, and the building of access ways, shafts, lateral access, drifts, ramps and other infrastructure in an underground mine. Costs incurred before mineralization is classified as proven and probable reserves are expensed and classified as exploration expense. Capitalization of mine development project costs, that meet the definition of an asset, begins once mineralization is classified as proven and probable reserves.

Drilling and related costs are capitalized for an ore body where proven and probable reserves exist and the activities are directed at obtaining additional information on the ore body or converting non-reserve mineralization to proven and probable reserves. All other drilling and related costs are expensed as incurred. Drilling costs incurred during the production phase for operational ore control are allocated to inventory costs and then included as a component of costs applicable to sales.

Mine development is amortized using the units-of-production method based upon estimated recoverable tonnage in proven and probable reserves. To the extent that these costs benefit an entire ore body, they are amortized over the estimated life of the ore body. Costs incurred to access specific ore blocks or areas that only provide benefit over the life of that area are amortized over the estimated life of that specific ore body.

Mineral Properties

Mineral properties are capitalized at their fair value at the acquisition date, either as an individual asset purchase or as part of a business combination. When it is determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing reserves, subsequent mine development are capitalized and are amortized using the units of production method over the estimated life of the ore body based on estimated recoverable tonnage in proven and probable reserves.

The Company’s mineral rights generally are enforceable regardless of whether proven and probable reserves have been established. The Company has the ability and intent to renew mineral interests where the existing term is not sufficient to recover all identified and valued proven and probable reserves and/or undeveloped mineralized material.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews and evaluates long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The assets are subject to impairment consideration if events or circumstances indicate that their carrying amount might not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition is less than its carrying amount. When impairment is identified, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its estimated fair value which is generally derived from estimated discounted cash flows.

The Company is in active and continuing discussions with various strategic and financial financing sources concerning both the Summit Silver-Gold Project and/or the Lordsburg Copper Project. Additionally, the Company believes that it enjoys the support of Waterton, its major creditor at this time. It is unknown if such discussions will be successful in attaining a financing and necessary debt restructure that would allow the Company to continue operations under its current business plan.

If discussions with these strategic and/or financing sources are unsuccessful the Company will not be able to continue as a going concern, and will likely be forced to seek relief under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. At that time the Company would have to evaluate the circumstances and the potential impairment on its long- lived assets.

As of December 31, 2014, and in light of current financing dialog with various potential strategic and financing sources, no events or circumstances have happened to indicate the related carrying values of long-lived assets may not be recoverable.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks.

The Company reviews the terms of convertible debt, equity instruments and other financing arrangements to determine whether there are embedded derivative instruments, including embedded conversion options that are required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as a derivative financial instrument. Also, in connection with the issuance of financing instruments, the Company may issue freestanding options or warrants that may, depending on their terms, be accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities, rather than as equity. The Company may also issue options or warrants to non-employees in connection with consulting or other services.

Derivative financial instruments are initially measured at their fair value. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to income. For warrant-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value the derivative instruments. To the extent that the initial fair values of the freestanding and/or bifurcated derivative instrument liabilities exceed the total proceeds received, an immediate charge to income is recognized, in order to initially record the derivative instrument liabilities at their fair value.

The discount from the face value of the convertible debt or equity instruments resulting from allocating some or all of the proceeds to the derivative instruments, together with the stated interest on the instrument, is amortized over the life of the instrument through periodic charges to income, usually using the effective interest method.

The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is reassessed at the end of each reporting period. If reclassification is required, the fair value of the derivative instrument, as of the determination date, is reclassified. Any previous charges or credits to income for changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument are not reversed. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within twelve months of the balance sheet date.

Reclamation Costs

Reclamation obligations are recognized when incurred and recorded as liabilities at fair value. The liability is accreted over time through periodic charges to earnings. In addition, the asset retirement cost is capitalized as part of the asset’s carrying value and amortized over the life of the related asset. Reclamation costs are periodically adjusted to reflect changes in the estimated present value resulting from the passage of time and revisions to the estimates of either the timing or amount of the reclamation costs. The reclamation obligation is based upon when spending for an existing disturbance will occur. The Company reviews, on an annual basis, unless otherwise deemed necessary, the reclamation obligation at each mine site in accordance with ASC guidance for reclamation obligations. As of December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014, the Company had a reclamation obligation totaling $243,993 and $241,079, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred physically, the price is fixed or determinable, no related obligations remain and collectability is probable.

Sales of all metals products sold directly to the Company’s metals buyers, including by-product metals, are recorded as revenues upon a buyer either taking physical delivery of the metals product in the case of siliceous flux material or upon the buyer receiving all required documentation necessary to take physical delivery of the metals product in the case of concentrate (generally at the time the product is loaded onto a shipping vessel at the originating port and the bill of lading is generated).

Revenues for metals products are recorded at current market prices at the time of delivery and are subsequently adjusted to the current market prices existing at the end of each reporting period. Due to the period of time existing between delivery and final settlement with the buyer, the Company estimates the prices at which sales will be settled. Changes in metals prices between delivery and final settlement will result in adjustments to revenues previously recorded.

Sales of metals products are recorded net of charges from the buyer for treatment, refining, smelting losses, and other negotiated charges. Charges are estimated upon shipment of product based on contractual terms, and actual charges do not vary materially from estimates. Costs charged by smelters include a metals payable fee, fixed treatment and refining costs per ton of product.

Net Loss Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding. During the periods when they are anti-dilutive, common stock equivalents, if any, are not considered in the computation. For the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the impact of outstanding stock equivalents has not been included as they would be anti-dilutive.

Stock-Based Compensation

In connection with terms of employment with the Company’s executives and employees, the Company occasionally issues options to acquire its common stock and issue stock in lieu of cash compensation. Awards are made at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Such options may be exercisable at varying exercise prices and generally vest when issued to over a period of six months to a year.

The Company accounts for share-based compensation based upon on the grant date fair value of the award. The Company estimates the fair value of the award using the Black-Scholes option pricing model for valuation of the share-based payments. The Company believes this model provides the best estimate of fair value due to its ability to incorporate inputs that change over time, such as volatility and interest rates, and to allow for actual exercise behavior of option holders. The simplified method is used to determine compensation expense since historical option exercise experience is limited. The compensation cost is recognized over the expected vesting period.

Accounting Standards to be adopted in Future Periods

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (“ASU 2014-15”), which requires management to evaluate, in connection with financial statement preparation for each annual and interim reporting period, whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued, and to provide related disclosures. ASU 2014-15 applies to all entities and is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. The Company has not studied this guidance and is not certain if the adoption of this guidance will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and the SEC did not, or are not believed by management to, have a material impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 4 - DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENT LIABILITIES

The fair market value of the derivative instruments liabilities at December 31, 2014, was determined to be $280,953 with the following assumptions: (1) risk free interest rate of 0.25% to 0.97%, (2) remaining contractual life of 0.01 to 2.71years, (3) expected stock price volatility of 168.9% to 220.17%, and (4) expected dividend yield of zero. Based upon the change in fair value, the Company has recorded a gain on derivative instruments for the six months ended December 31, 2014, of $86,171 and a corresponding increase in the derivative instruments liability.

		Derivative		Derivative		Gain for
		Liability as of		Liability as of		Six months ended
		June 30, 2014		December 31, 2014		December 31, 2014

Warrants	$	292,124	$	280,953	$	11,171
Amount allocated to note discount at inception						75,000
					$	86,171

The entire amount of derivative instrument liabilities are classified as current due to the fact that settlement of the derivative instruments could be required within twelve months of the balance sheet date.

NOTE 5 –CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

Senior Subordinated Convertible Notes

On October 30, 2007, the Company completed the placement of 10% Senior Subordinated Convertible Notes of $450,000. The notes were placed with three accredited investors for $150,000 each and bear interest at 10% per annum. The notes had term of 60 months at which time all remaining principal and interest was due. Interest accrued for 18 months from the date of closing. Interest on the outstanding principal balance was payable in quarterly installments commencing on the first day of the 19th month following closing. In connection with the transaction, the Company issued a five year warrant for each $2.50 invested, for a total of 180,000 warrants, each warrant giving the note holder the right to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $1.25 per share. At the option of the holders of the convertible notes, the outstanding principal and interest was convertible at any time into shares of the Company’s common stock at conversion price of $1.25 per share. The notes were to be automatically converted into common stock if the weighted average closing sales price of the stock exceeded $2.50 per share for ten consecutive trading days. The shares underlying the notes and warrants are to be registered on request of the note holders, provided the weighted average closing price of the stock exceeds $1.50 per share for ten consecutive trading days.

On October 31, 2012, the notes with the three accredited investors became due and payable. On January 15, 2013, the maturity dates for the convertible senior subordinated notes aggregating $450,000 were extended for a period of two years from the original maturity dates. Additionally, the convertible price of the notes was reduced to $0.40 and the automatic conversion price of $2.50 was reduced to $0.80. In connection with the extension of the notes, 562,500 warrants were issued with a strike price of $0.40 and term of two years from the original maturity dates; 375,000 warrants expired on October 23, 2014 and the remaining 187,500 warrants expired on November 20, 2014.

At December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014 the outstanding principal balance on the senior subordinated convertible notes, was $450,000 and along with any unamortized discount is classified as current.

Holders of $300,000 original principal amount of the 10% Senior Subordinated Convertible Notes have indicated their desire to convert all outstanding principal and interest into shares of the Company’s common stock.

Convertible Secured Notes

In October and November 2012, the Company received advances totaling A$3,900,000, representing cash proceeds of $3,985,000, from International Goldfields Limited (ASX: IGS) in fulfillment of an important condition of the Binding Heads of Agreement dated October 8, 2012 between the Company and IGS. The funds were advanced by way of two secured convertible notes. The convertible notes bear interest at a rate of 6% per annum, have a three-year term, and were secured by the Company’s contractual rights to the Mogollon property. The Company has the right to prepay the notes at any time without any premium or penalty. Should the Company fail to repay the notes on the maturity date or should an event of default occur, then IGS may choose to have the outstanding amounts repaid in the Company’s shares at a conversion rate equal to the daily volume weighted average sales price for the twenty trading days immediately preceding the date of conversion.

In June 2013, the Company negotiated an additional A$2.0 million capital injection from IGS by way of a secured convertible note. In conjunction with this financing, the Company agreed to explore a listing on the Singapore Catalist Stock Exchange (SGX-ST). It was agreed that the convertible note would bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum, has a maturity date of October 31, 2015, and is secured by the Company’s contractual rights in the Mogollon property. The note is repayable in cash or Santa Fe Gold stock, at IGS’s election, upon a refinancing of the Company’s loan from Waterton. Additionally, a facilitation fee of $300,000 common stock of the Company is due to IGS upon the first to occur of the maturity date, refinancing date of the note, or date that all principal and interest on the note is paid-in-full. As of March 31, 2014, the Company had received total advances totaling only $1,250,000 in connection with the secured convertible note. IGS and the Company agreed to have all outstanding amounts under the note s satisfied by the issue of Company’s stock aggregating 9,259,259 shares. The Company recorded a gain of $615,781 on the extinguishment of the debt. The stock was issued pursuant to an exemption from registration under Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

On December 31, 2014, the total outstanding principal balances on all of the IGS Secured Convertible Notes totaled $3,180,840.

Convertible Unsecured Note

On October 22, 2014 the Company signed a $500,000 Convertible Note with an Investor and received a Consideration of net proceeds $75,000, net an original issue discount (“OID) of $8,333. The Consideration on the Note has a Maturity date of two years from the Effective Date and has a 10% OID component attached to it. The Company may repay the Consideration at any time on or before 120 days from the Effect Date and the there would be no interest due on the Consideration. If the Company does not repay a Consideration on or before 120 days from its Effective Date, a one- time interest charge of 12% shall be applied to the principal sum. If the Company does not pay a Consideration prior to the 120-day period, the Company may not make further payments on this Note prior to Maturity Date without written approval from the Investor. The Investor may pay additional Consideration to the Company in such amounts and at such dates as the Investor may choose in its sole discretion.

The original consideration contains an embedded conversion option and is separated from the Note and accounted for as a derivative instrument at fair value and discount to the Note. The initial carrying value of the of the embedded conversion option exceeded the net proceeds received and created a derivative loss of $68,969 in the current period.

The conversion price is the lesser of $0.0425 or 65% of the lowest trade price in the 25 trading days previous to the conversion.

The components of the all convertible notes payable at December 31, 2014 are as follows:

December 31, 2014:		Principal		Unamortized
		Amount		Discount			Net

NOTE 6 – SENIOR SECURED GOLD STREAM CREDIT AGREEMENT

On December 23, 2011, the Company and its subsidiaries entered into a Senior Secured Gold Stream Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) Waterton. The Credit Agreement provided for two $10 million tranches and a $5 million revolving working capital facility. On December 23, 2011, the Company closed the first $10 million tranche of the Credit Agreement. The second $10 million tranche was earmarked to fund the strategic acquisition of Columbus Silver and was not drawn down due to the expiration of the Columbus Silver acquisition agreement.

Proceeds from the initial $10 million tranche of the Credit Agreement were used to retire the Company’s $5 million, 15% Senior Secured Bridge loan with Victory Park Capital Advisors, LLC, in addition to the payment of transaction fees and expenses. The Company utilized the remaining net proceeds for operations and working capital for the Summit silver-gold project.

The Credit Agreement provides for a 9% coupon and the initial $10 million tranche amortized over a 12-month term with the first payment due July 31, 2012. In connection with the transaction, the Company entered into a gold and silver sale agreement (the “Gold and Silver Supply Agreement”) to sell the gold and silver originating from the Summit property to Waterton. See NOTE 9- CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS.

Pursuant to a series of guarantees, security agreements, deeds of trust, a mortgage and a stock pledge agreement, the senior obligations are secured by a first priority lien on the stock of the Company’s subsidiaries and on liens covering substantially all of the Company’s assets, with the exception of the Ortiz gold project, including the Summit silver-gold project, the Black Canyon mica project, and the Planet micaceous iron oxide project. Existing creditor, Sandstorm Gold (Barbados) Ltd., executed an intercreditor agreement that provides for subordination of its security interests in favor of Waterton. The outstanding principal amounts owed under the Credit Agreement are aggregated with Notes Payable for financial statement presentation. See NOTE 7 - NOTES PAYABLE.

On October 9, 2012, the Company entered into the First Amendment to the Credit Agreement which modified the due dates of certain principal payments on the note. The amendment provided for principal payments of $1,082,955 in October 2012, $500,000 on November 30, 2012, $-0- in December 2012 and January 2013, and $3,852,275 on February 28, 2013. All other principal payments remained unchanged and interest payments continued to be due monthly. The Company has not made the principal payments for February 2013 or subsequent months. In addition, interest payments for the six months ended December 31, 2014 have not been made and are included in accrued liabilities at December 31, 2014.

On June 30, 2013, the Company signed a Waiver of Default Letter (the “Letter”) with Waterton wherein the Company agreed to sell, convey, assign and transfer certain accounts receivable as consideration for a waiver for non-payment to Waterton under the Credit Agreement. The transfer of the accounts receivable to Waterton were applied as payment towards outstanding interest payable amounts first with any remaining transfer of receivables treated as payment towards other indebtedness under the Credit Agreement, including principal on the note. The measurement of receivables transferred was subject to revaluation in accordance with mark-to-market adjustments and final settlement of the invoices. The initial valuation of receivables under the Letter was $1,053,599 at June 30, 2013. Under terms of the Letter, interest payable was reduced by $116,693 and the principal portion of the note was reduced by $768,263, while the remaining $168,643 was recorded as financing costs in interest expense at June 30, 2013.

As of December 31, 2013, the valuation of receivables sold under the Letter was finalized at $1,018,056. Accordingly, final valuation adjustments were made to increase the principal portion of the note outstanding by $29,145 and to decrease financing costs by $6,398. After recording final valuation adjustments, the principal portion of the note was ultimately reduced by $739,118, while the amount recorded over two quarters as financing costs in interest expense was $162,245. There was no final valuation adjustment to interest payable. The outstanding principal balance on the note at December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014 was $7,040,427. Additionally, $813,919 of collected accounts receivable sold to Waterton remains to be remitted to them and is recorded in accrued Liabilities at December 31, 2014.

Waterton may revoke the waiver at any time and note the Company in default under the Credit Agreement. In the event that Debt Restructurings are not consummated, or should any of Waterton’s indebtedness be accelerated, the Company will not have adequate liquidity to fund its operations, meet its obligations (including its debt payment obligations) and continue as a going concern, and will likely be forced to seek relief under Chapter 11 or 15 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (or an involuntary petition for bankruptcy relief or similar creditor action may be filed against it).

NOTE 7 – NOTES PAYABLE

Pursuant to Share Exchange Agreement (the "Share Exchange Agreement") with Canarc Resource Corp., a British Columbia, Canada corporation whose common shares are listed on the TSX Exchange under the symbol CCM ("Canarc") on July 15, 2014, the Company and Carnac entered into an interim financing facility pursuant to which Canarc advanced $220,000 to the Company. The loan bears interest at a rate of 1% a month and is due and payable upon the closing of a gold bond financing by the Company or January 15, 2015, if the financing does not close. The financing did close under this Agreement and this amount is outstanding at December 31, 2014, with $200,000 and $20,000 in Notes Payable current portion and Accrued Liabilities, respectively.

On May 8, 2012, the Company entered into an installment sales contract for $46,379 to purchase certain equipment. The term of the agreement is for 36 months at an interest rate of 5.75%, with the equipment securing the loan. The balance owed on the note was $8,294 and $16,354 at December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014, respectively.

On June 1, 2012, the Company entered into an installment sales contract for $593,657 to purchase certain equipment. The term of the agreement is for 48 months at an interest rate of 5.75%, with the equipment securing the loan. The balance owed on the note was $398,793 and $398,793 at December 31 and June 30, 2014, respectively. The Company has been unable to make its monthly payments since November 2013, is currently in default and the equipment has been returned to the vendor for sale and remains unsold at December 31, 2014.

In conjunction with the Merger Agreement, Tyhee and the Company entered into a Bridge Loan Agreement, pursuant to which Tyhee was obligated to advance up to $3 million to the Company in accordance with the terms thereof. Tyhee advanced the Company only $1,745,092 under the Bridge Loan as of June 30, 2014. The Bridge Loan bears an annual interest rate of 24%. At this time the Company and Tyhee are in disagreement as to the due date of the Bridge Loan. Tyhee has provided the Company with purported notice of default under the Bridge Loan Agreement. The Company has numerous claims against Tyhee resulting from the Merger Agreement, Tyhee’s failure to fund the total $3 million under the Bridge loan Agreement and Tyhee’s allocation of the proceeds from the Bridge Loan Agreement. At June 30, 2014, the Company recorded merger expenses that are due to Tyhee of $269,986 and is included in accrued liabilities. This amount is net of a break fee of $300,000 due the Company from Tyhee.

NOTE 8 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value accounting establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques 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 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

	Level 1 –	Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

	Level 2 –	Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability;

	Level 3 –	Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

Asset and liabilities measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to their fair value measurement.

The Company’s financial instruments consist of derivative instruments which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The derivatives are measured on their respective origination dates, at the end of each reporting period and at other points in time when necessary, such as modifications, using Level 3 inputs in accordance with GAAP. The Company does not report any financial assets or liabilities that it measures using Level 1 or 2 inputs. The fair value measurement of financial instruments and other assets as of December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014 are as follows:

						Balance at December 31,
	Level 1	Level 2		Level 3		2014

NOTE 9 - CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS

Summit Silver-Gold Project

The Summit project is subject to two underlying royalties and a net proceeds interest as follows: (1) a 7.5% royalty on net smelter returns toward an end price of $1,250,000; (2) a 5% royalty on net smelter returns toward an end price of $4,000,000 less any amount paid under the royalty described in (1); and (3) a net proceeds interest of 5% of net proceeds from sales of unbeneficiated mineralized rock until such time as the royalties described in (1) and (2) have been satisfied, and 10% of such net proceeds thereafter toward an end price of $2,400,000. The Summit silver-gold project is subject to a property identification agreement between the Company and the former President and Chief Executive Officer. The property identification agreement specifies that a 1% royalty be paid on the value of future production from the project.

A royalty expense was incurred during the six months ended December 31, 2014 aggregating $29,642. At December 31, 2014, the Company had an accrued royalty liability of $719,999, which includes $222,362 payable to the Company’s former President and Chief Executive Officer.

Commodity Supply Agreements

In December 2009, the Company entered into a definitive gold stream agreement (the “Gold Stream Agreement”) with Sandstorm to deliver a portion of the life-of-mine gold production (excluding all silver production) from the Company’s Summit silver-gold mine. Under the agreement the Company received advances of $4,000,000 as an upfront deposit, plus continue to receive future ongoing payments equal to the lesser of: $400 per ounce or the prevailing market price, (the “Fixed Price”) for each ounce of gold delivered pursuant to the agreement for the life of the mine. The Company purchases and delivers refined gold in order to satisfy the requirements of the Gold Stream Agreement and receives the Fixed Price per ounce in cash from Sandstorm. The difference between the prevailing market price and the Fixed Price per ounce for gold delivered is credited against the upfront deposit of $4,000,000 until the obligation is reduced to zero. Future ongoing payments for gold deliveries will continue at the Fixed Price per ounce with no additional credits or advances to be received from Sandstorm. In certain circumstances, including failure to meet minimum production rates, interruption in production due to permitting issues and customary events of default, the agreement may be terminated. In such event, the Company may be required to return to Sandstorm any remaining uncredited balance of the original $4,000,000 upfront deposit. Gold production subject to the agreement includes 50% of the first 10,000 ounces of gold produced, and 22% of the gold thereafter. The net cost of delivering refined gold along with other related transactional costs corresponding to the Gold Stream Agreement are recorded in Other Expenses as financing costs - commodity supply agreements.

On March 29, 2011, the Company entered into Amendment 1 for the Gold Stream Agreement. The amendment extended the original completion guarantee date from April 2011 to June 30, 2012. The completion guarantee test performs a calculation based upon that percentage of underproduction of gold produced relative to the amount of gold planned to have been produced as set out in the agreement. In exchange for the amended completion guarantee date, the Company agreed to deliver an additional 700 ounces of gold at equivalent sales terms over and above the original agreement. Under the terms of the amendment the delivery of the additional gold was to be made prior to June 30, 2011.

On June 28, 2011, the Company entered into Amendment 2 for the Gold Stream Agreement. The amendment extended the delivery date for the additional 700 ounces of gold agreed upon in Amendment 1 from June 30, 2011 until October 15, 2011. In exchange for the new deferred delivery date the Company agreed to pay a per diem of 3 ounces of gold for each day the additional gold under Amendment 1 remained outstanding past June 30, 2011 until the actual date of delivery, no later than October 15, 2011. On August 9, 2011 the Company satisfied the requirements of Amendment 2 and delivered 817 ounces of gold. The net cost of delivering the gold after receiving payment from Sandstorm of $400 per ounce delivered was $1,075,785.

At June 30, 2012, the Company calculated the completion guarantee payable provided by Amendment 1. Based upon the provisions of the Gold Stream Agreement and the related completion guarantee test, incremental financing charges totaling $504,049 were recognized and accrued at June 30, 2012. These accrued charges, combined with the remaining uncredited liability for the upfront deposit totaled $3,359,873 at December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014, respectively, and are reported as the completion guarantee payable.

Under the Gold Stream Agreement the Company has a recorded an obligation at December 31, 2014, of 3,709 ounces of undelivered gold valued at approximately $3.0 million, net of the Fixed Price of $400 per ounce to be received upon delivery.

On December 23, 2011, the Company and its subsidiaries entered into a Senior Secured Gold Stream Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Waterton. The Credit Agreement provided for two $10 million tranches and a $5 million revolving working capital facility. On December 23, 2011, the Company closed the first $10 million tranche of the Credit Agreement. The second $10 million tranche, which was subject to several funding conditions, was earmarked to fund the strategic acquisition of Columbus. The acquisition did not occur and consequently the second tranche was not drawn down. As part of the transaction, the Company agreed pursuant to a gold and silver sale agreement (the “Gold and Silver Supply Agreement”) to sell refined gold and silver to Waterton for the life the Summit mine. Gold and silver subject to the agreement includes all gold and silver originating from the Summit property that is not otherwise committed to delivery to and purchased by Sandstorm, pursuant to the December 9, 2011 Gold Stream Agreement. The sales price for refined gold and silver is based upon a formulation which considers the London Bullion Market Association (“LBMA”) PM fix settlement price for each respective metal, less a discount of three percent for each metal, and a transaction cost of $1.75 per ounce for gold and $0.07 per ounce for silver. The discount on gold and silver is only applicable until and ceases after the latter of either, three years after all outstanding amounts due under the Senior Secured Gold Stream Credit Agreement have been repaid, or the date on which the Company has sold 125,000 gold equivalent ounces under the Gold and Silver Supply Agreement. The Company has a recorded obligation of $242,528 and $611,503 at December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014, respectively, related to the Gold and Silver Supply Agreement and is recorded in Accrued Liabilities.

The Company refers to the Gold Stream Agreement and Gold and Silver Supply Agreement collectively as the commodity supply agreements and records the costs related to these agreements in financing costs – commodity supply agreements.

As of December 31, 2014, the aggregate intrinsic value of all stock options and warrants vested and expected to vest was $63,782 and the aggregate intrinsic value of currently exercisable stock options and warrants was $63,782. The intrinsic value of each option share is the difference between the fair market value of the common stock and the exercise price of such option or warrant share to the extent it is "in-the-money". Aggregate intrinsic value represents the value that would have been received by the holders of in-the-money options had they exercised their options on the last trading day of the quarter and sold the underlying shares at the closing stock price on such day. The intrinsic value calculation is based on the $0.0459 closing stock price of the common stock on December 31, 2014.

The total intrinsic value associated with options exercised during the six months ended December 31, 2014, was $-0-. Intrinsic value of exercised shares is the total value of such shares on the date of exercise less the cash received from the option or warrant holder to exercise the options.

The total fair value of options and warrants granted during the six months ended December 31, 2014, was approximately $662,463. The total grant-date fair value of option and warrant shares vested during the six months ended December 31, 2014, was $662,463.

NOTE 11 – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In October 2013 Lone Mountain Ranch, LLC, owner of the surface estate overlying our Ortiz gold property, filed a lawsuit against the Company and our lessor, Ortiz Mines, Inc. The lawsuit seeks to clarify Lone Mountain Ranch's rights and obligations under the split estate regime. Specifically, Lone Mountain Ranch seeks a declaratory judgment that it may participate in permit hearings, agency proceedings, and private activities related to the permitting of the Ortiz project without being in violation of common law duties to not interfere with development of the mineral estate. The Company conducted a strategic evaluation as whether or not to continue with the Ortiz Gold Project. Given the public opposition to the Ortiz Gold Project, Santa Fe has decided not to further pursue the Ortiz Gold Project.

We are in litigation with two vendors for claims for approximately $140,400 and $125,876, respectively against us. If the Company is unsuccessful in raising additional funding, we may not be able to pay resolve these lawsuits and our business may not continue as a going concern. In the event we cannot raise the necessary capital or we cannot restructure through negotiated modifications, we may be required to effect under court supervision pursuant to a voluntary bankruptcy filing under Chapter 11 or Chapter 7 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (“Chapter 11 or “Chapter 7”). See “Risk factors.”

We are in litigation with a purported royalty holder of our Summit Silver Gold Project. The purported royalty holder is seeking $500,000 in past due royalty payments and a return of the Summit mine. The Company is in discussions with the royalty holder to resolve the dispute If the Company is unable to resolve the dispute, the Company believes that it has valid defenses against the claims the Company intends to file numerous counter-claims and cross-claims seeking damages significantly in excess of $500,000. If the Company is unsuccessful in the litigation or in raising additional funding, we may not be able to resolve this lawsuits and our business may not continue as a going concern. In the event we cannot raise the necessary capital or we cannot restructure through negotiated modifications, we may be required to effect under court supervision pursuant to a voluntary bankruptcy filing under Chapter 11 or Chapter 7 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (“Chapter 11 or “Chapter 7”). See “Risk Factors.”

We are subject from time to time to litigation, claims and suits arising in the ordinary course of business. Other than the above-described litigation, as of December 31, 2014, we were not a party to any material litigation, claim or suit whose outcome could have a material effect on our financial statements.

In accordance with accounting standards regarding loss contingencies, the Company accrues an undiscounted liability for those contingencies where the incurrence of a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, and the Company discloses the amount accrued and the amount of a reasonably possible loss in excess of the amount accrued, if such disclosure is necessary for its financial statements not to be misleading. The Company does not record liabilities when the likelihood that the liability has been incurred is probable but the amount cannot be reasonably estimated, or when the liability is believed to be only reasonably possible or remote.

Because litigation outcomes are inherently unpredictable, the Company’s evaluation of legal proceedings often involves a series of complex assessments by management about future events and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions. If the assessments indicate that loss contingencies that could be material to any one of its financial statements are not probable, but are reasonably possible, or are probable, but cannot be estimated, then the Company discloses the nature of the loss contingencies, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss or a statement that such loss is not reasonably estimable. While the consequences of certain unresolved proceedings are not presently determinable, and an estimate of the probable and reasonably possible loss or range of loss in excess of amounts accrued for such proceedings cannot be reasonably made, an adverse outcome from such proceedings could have a material adverse effect on its financial statements in any given reporting period. However, in the opinion of Management, after consulting with legal counsel, the ultimate liability related to the current outstanding litigation is not expected to have a material adverse effect on its financial statements.

Note 12 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company’s Management evaluated subsequent events through February 23, 2015. There were no material subsequent events that required recognition or additional disclosure in these financial statements.

It also analyzes our financial condition at December 31, 2014. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Management’s Discussion and Analysis, including the audited financial statements for the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 and Notes to the audited financial statements, in our Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended June 30, 2014.

The discussion also presents certain Non-GAAP performance measures that are important to management in its evaluation of our operational results and which are used by management to compare our performance with that of comparable peer group mining companies. For a detailed description of each of the Non-GAAP financial measures, please see discussion under Non-GAAP Measures.

Overview

In April 2012, the Company commenced commercial production at the Summit silver–gold mine. On November 8, 2013, mining operations were suspended at the Summit Silver-Gold Project and the project was placed on “care-and-maintenance.” As such, we had no mining or milling operations during the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2014.

During our six month period ended December 31, 2014, we generated net sales of $64,389 and incurred a net loss of $2,763,296, as compared to the six month period ended December 31, 2013, in which we generated sales of $2,219,257 and incurred a net loss of $5,345,466.

In order to fund operations during the three month period ended December 31, 2014, we relied on proceeds from the sale of 3,375,000 shares of common stock to an accredited investor for net cash proceeds of $202,500 in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to the provisions of Regulation S thereunder.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. Should we be unable to continue as a going concern, we may be unable to realize the carrying value of our assets and to meet our obligations as they become due.

We have a total accumulated deficit of $88,745,784 at December 31, 2014. To continue as a going concern, we are dependent on raising additional capital, consummating a strategic transaction and restructuring our indebtedness with our senior lenders. However, although we are in active discussions and negotiations with several potential strategic or financial partners, currently we have no commitment in place from any party to provide additional capital and there is no assurance that such funding will be available, or if available, that its terms will be favorable to us. In the event that we are unable to raise additional capital to satisfy the terms and conditions of the negotiated restructuring of our senior secured indebtedness, we may be forced to seek reorganization or liquidation under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

Basis of Presentation and Going Concern

The consolidated unaudited financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. Should we be unable to continue as a going concern, we may be unable to realize the carrying value of our assets and to meet our obligations as they become due.

At December 31, 2014, we have a total accumulated deficit of $88,745,784 and have a working capital deficit of $28,236,260. To continue as a going concern, we are dependent on raising additional capital, consummating a strategic transaction and restructuring our indebtedness with our senior lenders. See “-- Liquidity and Capital Resources; Plan of Operation.”

Our consolidated unaudited financial statements do not include any adjustment relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in existence.

Liquidity and Capital Resources; Plan of Operation

On November 8, 2013, the Company suspended all mining operations and placed the mine and mill on a “care and maintenance” program.

As of December 31, 2014, we had cash of $34,996 as compared to $83,825 at June 30, 2014 and we had a working capital deficit of $28,236,260. Also, our accumulated deficit increased to $88,745,784. Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

At December 31, 2014 we were in arrears on payments totaling approximately $9.0 million under its Senior Secured Gold Stream Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Waterton and approximately $6.8 million under a gold stream agreement (the “Gold Stream Agreement”) with Sandstorm.

On June 30, 2013, the Company signed a Waiver of Default Letter (the “Waiver Letter”) with Waterton wherein the Company agreed to sell, convey, assign and transfer certain accounts receivable as consideration for a waiver for non-payment to Waterton under the Credit Agreement. Waterton may revoke the Waiver Letter at anytime and note the Company in default under the Credit Agreement. Should any of Waterton’s indebtedness be accelerated, the Company will not have adequate liquidity to fund its operations, meet its obligations (including its debt payment obligations) and continue as a going concern, and will likely be forced to seek relief under Chapter 11 or 15 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (or an involuntary petition for bankruptcy relief or similar creditor action may be filed against it).

Waterton has indicated its support for the Company’s efforts to secure and strategic and/or financial partner to advance Santa Fe’s Lordsburg Copper Project and restart its Summit Silver-Gold Project. In this regard, we are in active discussions and negotiations with several potential strategic or financial partners. Currently we have no commitment in place from any party to provide additional capital and there is no assurance that such funding will be available, or if available, that its terms will be favorable to us. In the event that we are unable to raise additional capital to satisfy the terms and conditions of the negotiated restructuring of our senior secured indebtedness, we may be forced to seek reorganization or liquidation under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

In connection with our Lordsburg Copper Project, we are pursuing a “farm-in agreement” with a strategic partner pursuant to which such partner will acquire an interest in the Lordsburg Copper Project by carrying out exploration work. As such, should we be successful in entering into a strategic “farm-in agreement” with a strategic partner, we do not anticipate that any significant capital expenditures would initially be required of us in advancing the Lordsburg Copper Project. However, no assurances can be given that such a strategic arrangement will be available, or if available, that its terms will be favorable to us.

Should Santa Fe decide to further advance its Lordsburg Copper Project without the assistance of a strategic partner; or, if a satisfactory strategic relationship cannot be negotiated on terms acceptable to Santa Fe, we anticipate advancing our Lordsburg Copper Project would require approximately $2.0 million, consisting of approximately $123,000 for additional geological mapping, soil sampling, drill core logging and analysis, $300,000 for additional geo-physical testing and analysis, and approximately $1.5 million for drilling two deep porphyry copper targets. No assurances can be given that we will be able to obtain any capital for such exploration efforts or that such an exploration strategy would be successful.

In connection with our Summit Silver-Gold Project restart strategy, we intend to outsource mining operations to an independent mining contractor that will provide the equipment and personnel necessary to restart the Summit mine. In connection with the outsourced restart strategy, we anticipate requiring approximately $2.5 million for capital improvements and working capital purposes, including approximately $1.0 million necessary to expand the tailings dam at our Lordsburg mill, $0.5 million for capital expenditures at the Summit mine and Lordsburg mill and $1.0 million for working capital.

Derivative Financial Instruments

In connection with the issuance of debt or equity instruments, we may issue options or warrants to purchase our common stock. In certain circumstances, these options or warrants may be classified as derivative liabilities, rather than as equity. Additionally, the debt or equity instruments may contain embedded derivative instruments, such as conversion options, which in certain circumstances, may be required to be bifurcated from the associated host instrument and accounted for separately as a derivative instrument liability.

The identification of, and accounting for, derivative instruments is complex. Our derivative instrument liabilities are revalued at the end of each reporting period, with changes in the fair value of the derivative liability recorded as charges or credits to income, in the period in which the changes occur. For warrants that are accounted for as a derivative instrument liability, we determined the fair value of these warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. That model requires assumptions related to the remaining term of the instruments and risk-free rates of return, our current common stock price and expected dividend yield, and the expected volatility of our common stock price over the life of the warrants. The identification of, and accounting for, derivative instruments and the assumptions used to value them can significantly affect our consolidated financial statements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

In November 2013, we placed our Summit mine and Lordsburg mill on “care-and-maintenance.” As such, during the three and six months ended December 31, 2014, we did not engage in any mining activities at the Summit mine and did not operate the Lordsburg mill. We did not have any sales and did not incur any associated mine operating costs during the three months ended December 31, 2014.

Operating Results for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2014 and 2013

Sales, net

During the three months ended December 31, 2014, we recorded price adjustments to sales of ($7,129), compared to $1,025,574 in concentrate and flux sales, net of treatment charge, a decrease of $1,018,445. The change is the result of a drop-off in production as we suspended all mining operations in early November 2013 and placed the mine and mill on a care and maintenance program.

Costs applicable to sales

During the three months ended December 31, 2014, as we had zero sales, we had no associated costs of sales as compared to costs applicable to sales of $1,036,288 for the same comparable period in 2013. The decrease for the period corresponds with our decision to temporarily suspend all mining operations in early November 2013.

Exploration

Exploration and other mine related costs were $1,041,784 for the three months ended December 30, 2014, as compared to $143,564 for the comparable period of measurement, an increase of $898,220. The increase in the current period of measurement is primarily attributable to the write-off of options payments totaling $876,509, which relate to the expiration of the Mogollon option agreement.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses decreased to $807,240 for the three months ended December 31, 2014, from $1,060,807 for the comparative three month period ended December 31, 2013, a decrease of approximately $253,567, or 24%. General and administrative expenses include salaries and benefits, stock-based compensation, professional and consulting fees, professional fees relating to the transactions contemplated by the Canarc Share Exchange Agreement, which agreement expired in October 2014, marketing and investor relations, and travel costs. The decrease is mainly attributable to cutbacks in current operations due to the Company’s decision to suspended all mining operations in early November 2013 and placed the mine and mill on a care and maintenance program and cutbacks at the administrative support office including cancellation of the office lease.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased to $482,464 for the three months ended December 31, 2014, as compared to $660,860 for the three months ended December 31, 2013. The decrease of $178,396 in the current period is attributable primarily to the decrease in production and a corresponding decrease in the amortization of mine development costs, which are amortized on a units-of-production basis. Reduced depreciation on fully depreciated equipment and the return of a large piece of equipment to the vendor for sale also contributed to the decrease.

Other Income and Expenses

Other income and (expenses) for the three months ended December 31, 2014, was $521,265 as compared to $530,743 for the three months ended December 31, 2013, a increase in other income of approximately $9,478. The net decrease in other income for the three months ended December 31, 2014, compared to the same comparable period in 2013, is mainly comprised of the following components: increased gain recognized on foreign currency translation of approximately $12,040; an increased gain on derivative instrument liabilities of approximately $161,495; and an increase gain on extinguishment of debt of $62,939. These increased other income items were offset by an increase in interest expense of approximately $31,127; an increase in financing costs – commodity supply agreements of $204,849 and a decrease in other income of $13,387. Further information regarding the changes in the various components of Other Income and Expenses is discussed in the categories below.

Foreign currency translation gain

For the three months ended December 31, 2014, the foreign currency translation gain totaling $249,928 related to the ICS Secured convertible note. On December 31, 2014, the total outstanding balances on all of the IGS Secured Convertible Notes totaled $3,180,840, which are denominated in Australian dollars (A$). This gain was the result of an increase in the US$ relative to the A$ during the three month periods.

Gain (Loss) on Derivative Financial Instruments

For the three months ended December 31, 2014, the gain on derivative financial instruments totaled $598,886, as compared to $437,371 for the three months ended December 31, 2013. The changes in derivative financial instruments are non-cash items and arise from adjustments to record the derivative financial instruments at fair values in accordance with pronounced accounting standards. These changes are attributable mainly to adjustments to record the change in fair value for the embedded conversion feature of derivative financial instruments, warrants previously issued under our registered direct offerings, changes in the market price of our common stock, which is a component of the calculation model, and the issuance of additional warrants resulting in derivative treatment. We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of the derivative financial instruments. Because Black-Scholes uses our stock price, changes in the stock price will result in volatility to the earnings in future periods as we continue to reflect the derivative financial instruments at fair values.

Interest expense

For the three months ended December 31, 2014, interest expense totaled $384,835 as compared to $353,708 for the three months ended December 31, 2013. The increase of approximately $31,127 is mainly attributable to the Tyhee note payable outstanding in the current period of measurement and offset by interest in the comparable period a on a convertible note that was converted in March 2014.

Operating Results for the Six Months Ended December 31, 2014 and 2013

Sales, net

During the six months ended December 31, 2014, we sales of $64,389, compared to $2,219,257 in concentrate and flux sales, net of treatment charge, a decrease of $2,154,868. The change is the result of a drop-off in production as we suspended all mining operations in early November 2013 and placed the mine and mill on a care and maintenance program.

Costs applicable to sales

During the six months ended December 31, 2014, we had associated costs of sales of $40,000 as compared to costs applicable to sales of $3,213,205 for the same comparable period in 2013. The decrease of $3,173,205 for the period corresponds with our decision to temporarily suspend all mining operations in early November 2013.

Exploration

Exploration and other mine related costs were $1,236,510 for the six months ended December 30, 2014, as compared to $234,177 for the comparable period of measurement, an increase of $1,002333. The increase in the current period of measurement is primarily attributable to the write-off of options payments totaling $876,509, which relate to the expiration of the Mogollon option agreement.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses decreased to $1,176,883 for the six months ended December 31, 2014, from $1,904,045 for the comparative six month period ended December 31, 2013, a decrease of approximately $727,162, or 38%. General and administrative expenses include salaries and benefits, stock-based compensation, professional and consulting fees , professional fees relating to the transactions contemplated by the Canarc Share Exchange Agreement, which agreement expired in October 2014, marketing and investor relations, and travel costs. The decrease is mainly attributable to cutbacks in current operations due to the Company’s decision to suspended all mining operations in early November 2013 and placed the mine and mill on a care and maintenance program and cutbacks at the administrative support office including cancellation of the office lease.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased to $964,712 for the six months ended December 31, 2014, as compared to $1,435,319 for the six months ended December 31, 2013. The decrease of $470,607 in the current period is attributable primarily to the decrease in production and a corresponding decrease in the amortization of mine development costs, which are amortized on a units-of-production basis. Reduced depreciation on fully depreciated equipment and the return of a large piece of equipment to the vendor for sale also contributed to the decrease.

Other Income and Expenses

Total Cash Cost per Gold Equivalent Ounce Sold

We utilize total cash cost (including royalties and resource taxes) per gold equivalent ounce sold, calculated in accordance with the Gold Institute’s Standard, as one indicator for comparative monitoring of our mining operations from period to period. Total cash costs are calculated using cost of sales, plus treatment and refining charges (which are netted against revenues). Total cash costs are divided by gold equivalent ounces sold (gold sold, plus gold equivalent ounces of silver sold converted to gold using our realized gold price to silver price ratio to arrive at total cash cost per gold equivalent ounce sold.

We also utilize operating cash costs per gold equivalent ounce to measure our performance. The principal difference between operating cash costs and total cash costs is that operating cash costs exclude royalty payments and resource taxes whereas total cash costs include royalty payments and resource taxes. Total cash cost per ounce figures for all periods presented in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis are presented on an ounces sold basis. There can be no assurance that our reporting of these Non-GAAP measures is similar to that reported by other mining companies.

We have reconciled operating cash cost per gold equivalent ounce sold and total cash cost per gold equivalent ounce sold to reported U.S. GAAP measures in the table below. The most comparable financial measures to our operating cash cost and total cash cost is costs applicable to sales calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Costs applicable to sales are obtained from the unaudited consolidated statements of operations.

The increase in cash costs per gold equivalent ounce between the six month comparable periods is the result of a decrease in production resulting from fewer tons processed during the current period and accompanied by a decrease in the average grade for silver. Equipment issues and production downtime continued to be encountered during the period, and the mining operations were suspended on November 8, 2013 pending the sourcing of sufficient capital to recapitalize the project and resume profitable operations.
