PART I
Certain statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K constitute forward-looking statements. These statements, identified by words such as plan, anticipate, believe, estimate, should, expect, and similar expressions include our expectations and objectives regarding our future financial position, operating results and business strategy. These statements reflect the current views of management with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements, or industry results, to be materially different from those described in the forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include those set forth under the caption Managements Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation and elsewhere in this Annual Report. We advise you to carefully review the reports and documents we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), particularly our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and our Current Reports on Form 8-K.
As used in this Annual Report, the terms we, us, our, Star Gold, and the Company, mean Star Gold Corp., unless otherwise indicated. All dollar amounts in this Annual Report are expressed in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise indicated.
ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
CORPORATE BACKGROUND
We were incorporated on December 8, 2006 under the laws of the State of Nevada. We are an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. We currently own a 100% undivided interest in mineral a property located in the Province of British Columbia, Canada we call the Copper Belle Property. Additionally, we have an agreement to acquire a 98% interest in a Property located in the State of Nevada known as the Excalibur Property.
We have completed Phase I of our exploration program on the Copper Belle Property, which included Geological Mapping, Rock Sampling and Assaying. Our Consulting Geologist has recommended that we proceed to Phase II of our exploration program based on the results of Phase I.
We have completed an initial exploration program on the Excalibur Property, which included Geological Mapping, Rock Sampling and Assaying. Our Geologist has recommended, additional exploration work be done, and has provided us with an exploration program and accompanying budget which includes additional Mapping and Sampling as well as Diamond Drilling.
Compliance with Government Regulations
If we decide to continue with the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties in the Province of British Columbia, we will be required to comply with all regulations, rules and directives of governmental authorities and agencies applicable to the exploration of minerals in the Province of British Columbia. The main agency that governs the exploration of minerals in the Province of British Columbia is the Ministry of Mines.
The Ministry of Mines manages the development of British Columbia's mineral resources, and implements policies and programs respecting their development while protecting the environment. In addition, the Ministry of Mines regulates and inspects the exploration and mineral production industries in British Columbia to protect workers, the public and the environment.
The material legislation applicable to us is the British Columbia Mineral Tenure Act, and the British Columbia Mines Act, as well as the Health, Safety and Reclamation Code and the Mineral Exploration Code.
The Mineral Tenure Act and its regulations govern the procedures involved in the location, recording and maintenance of mineral titles in British Columbia. The Mineral Tenure Act also governs the issuance of leases which are long term entitlements to minerals.
Additionally, if we decide to continue with the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties in the State of Nevada we will be required to comply with all regulations, rules and directives of governmental authorities and agencies applicable to the exploration of minerals in the State of Nevada. The main agency that governs the exploration of minerals in the State of Nevada is the Nevada Bureau of Mines.
3
All mineral exploration activities carried out on a mineral claim or mining lease in British Columbia must be done in compliance with the Mines Act. The Mines Act applies to all mines during exploration, development, construction, production, closure, reclamation and abandonment. It outlines the powers of the Chief Inspector of Mines, to inspect mines, the procedures for obtaining permits to commence work in, on or about a mine and other procedures to be observed at a mine. Additionally, the provisions of the Health, Safety and Reclamation Code for mines in British Columbia contain standards for employment, occupational health and safety, accident investigation, work place conditions, protective equipment, training programs, and site supervision. Also, the Mineral Exploration Code contains standards for exploration activities including construction and maintenance, site preparation, drilling, trenching and work in and about a water body.
Additional approvals and authorizations may be required from other government agencies, depending upon the nature and scope of the proposed exploration program. If the exploration activities require the falling of timber, then either a free use permit or a license to cut must be issued by the Ministry of Forests. Items such as waste approvals may be required from the Ministry of Environment, Lands and Parks if the proposed exploration activities are significantly large enough to warrant them. Waste approvals refer to the disposal of rock materials removed from the earth which must be reclaimed. An environmental impact statement may be required.
In addition, we will also have to sustain the cost of reclamation and environmental remediation for all exploration work undertaken. Both reclamation and environmental remediation refer to putting disturbed ground back as close to its original state as possible. Other potential pollution or damage must be cleaned-up and renewed along standard guidelines outlined in the usual permits. Reclamation is the process of bringing the land back to its natural state after completion of exploration activities. Environmental remediation refers to the physical activity of taking steps to remediate, or remedy, any environmental damage caused. The amount of these costs is not known at this time as we do not know the extent of the exploration program that will be undertaken beyond completion of the recommended work program. Because there is presently no information on the size, tenor, or quality of any resource or reserve at this time, it is impossible to assess the impact of any capital expenditures on earnings, our competitive position or on us in the event a potentially economic deposit is discovered.
If we anticipate disturbing ground during our mineral exploration activities, we will be required to make an application under the Mines Act for a permit. A permit is issued within 45 days of a complete and satisfactory application. We do not anticipate any difficulties in obtaining a permit, if needed. Initial exploration activities (grid establishment, geological mapping, soil sampling, geophysical surveys) do not involve ground disturbance and as a result do not, at this time, require a work permit. Any follow-up trenching and/or drilling will require permits, applications for which will be submitted well in advance of the planned work.
If we enter the production phase, of which there is no assurance, the cost of complying with permit and regulatory environment laws will be greater because the impact on the project area is greater. Permits and regulations will control all aspects of the production program if the project continues to that stage. The regulatory requirements that we will have to meet will likely include:
| (vi) | The socio-economic impact of the project will have to be evaluated and if deemed negative, will have to be re-mediated; and |
|
|
|
| (vii) | There will have to be an impact report of the work on the local fauna and flora including a study of potentially endangered species. |
4
Competition
We are an exploration stage company. We compete with other mineral resource exploration and development companies for financing and for the acquisition of new mineral properties. Many of the mineral resource exploration and development companies with whom we compete have greater financial and technical resources than us. Accordingly, these competitors may be able to spend greater amounts on acquisitions of mineral properties of merit, on exploration of their mineral properties and on development of their mineral properties. In addition, they may be able to afford greater geological expertise in the targeting and exploration of mineral properties. This competition could result in competitors having mineral properties of greater quality and interest to prospective investors who may finance additional exploration and development. This competition could adversely impact on our ability to finance further exploration and to achieve the financing necessary for us to develop our mineral properties.
Employees
We have no employees other than our executive officers and directors as of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We conduct our business largely through agreements with consultants and arms length persons.
Research and Development Expenditures
We have not incurred any research expenditures since our incorporation.
Patents and Trademarks
We do not own, either legally or beneficially, any patent or trademark.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
If we do not obtain additional financing, our business plan will fail.
Our current operating funds are estimated to be sufficient to complete the first and second phase of exploration on our mining claim. However, we will need to obtain additional financing in order to complete our business plan. Our business plan calls for significant expenses in connection with the exploration of our mining claim. We have not made arrangements to secure any additional financing.
Because our President and director, Lindsay Gorrill, owns 58.54% of our outstanding common stock, investors may find that corporate decisions controlled by Mr. Gorrill are inconsistent with the interests of other stockholders.
Lindsay Gorrill, our President, and Treasurer controls 58.54% of issued and outstanding shares of our common stock. Accordingly, in accordance with our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, Mr. Gorrill is able to control who is elected to our board of directors and thus could act, or could have the power to act, as our management. Since Mr. Gorrill is not simply a passive investor but is also one of our active executives, his interests as an executive may, at times, be adverse to those of passive investors. Where those conflicts exist, our shareholders will be dependent upon Mr. Gorrill exercising, in a manner fair to all of our shareholders, his fiduciary duties as an officer or as a member of our board of directors. Also, due to his stock ownership position, Mr. Gorrill will have: (i) the ability to control the outcome of most corporate actions requiring stockholder approval, including amendments to our Articles of Incorporation; (ii) the ability to control corporate combinations or similar transactions that might benefit minority stockholders which may be rejected by Mr. Gorrill to their detriment, and (iii) control over transactions between himself and Star Gold.
We may conduct further offerings in the future in which case investors shareholdings will be diluted.
Since our inception, we have relied on equity sales of our common stock to fund our operations. We may conduct additional equity offerings in the future to finance any future business projects that we decide to undertake. If common stock is issued in return for additional funds, the price per share could be lower than that paid by our current stockholders. We anticipate continuing to rely on equity sales of our common stock in order to fund our business operations. If we issue additional stock, investors percentage interest in us will be diluted. The result of this could reduce the value of their stock.
5
Because of the speculative nature of mineral exploration, there is substantial risk that no commercially viable mineral deposits will be found.
Exploration for commercially viable mineral deposits is a speculative venture involving substantial risk. We cannot provide investors with assurance that our mining claim contains commercially viable mineral deposits. The exploration program that we will conduct on our claim may not result in the discovery of commercial viable mineral deposits. 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 may be unable to complete our business plan and you could lose your entire investment in this offering.
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 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 insure or against which we may elect not to insure. We currently have no such insurance nor do we expect to get such insurance for the foreseeable future. If a hazard were to occur, the costs of rectifying the hazard may exceed our asset value and cause us to liquidate all of our assets resulting in the loss of your entire investment in this offering.
Because our stock is a penny stock, stockholders will be more limited in their ability to sell their stock.
The shares of our common stock constitute penny stocks under the Exchange Act. The shares will remain classified as a penny stock for the foreseeable future. The classification as a penny stock makes it more difficult for a broker/dealer to sell the stock into a secondary market, which makes it more difficult for a purchaser to liquidate his or her investment. Any broker/dealer engaged by the purchaser for the purpose of selling his or her shares will be subject to rules 15g-1 through 15g-10 of the Exchange Act. Rather than having to comply with these rules, some broker-dealers will refuse to attempt to sell a penny stock.
The "penny stock" rules adopted by the SEC under the Exchange Act subjects the sale of the shares of our common stock to certain regulations which impose sales practice requirements on broker/dealers. For example, brokers/dealers selling such securities must, prior to effecting the transaction, provide their customers with a document that discloses the risks of investing in such securities.
Legal remedies, which may be available to an investor in "penny stocks, are as follows:
(a) | if "penny stock" is sold to an investor in violation of his or her rights listed above, or other federal or states securities laws, the investor may be able to cancel his or her purchase and get his or her money back. |
|
|
(b) | if the stocks are sold in a fraudulent manner, the investor may be able to sue the persons and firms that caused the fraud for damages. |
|
|
(c) | if the investor has signed an arbitration agreement, however, he or she may have to pursue his or her claim through arbitration. |
If the person purchasing the securities is someone other than an accredited investor or an established customer of the broker/dealer, the broker/dealer must also approve the potential customer's account by obtaining information concerning the customer's financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives. The broker/dealer must also make a determination whether the transaction is suitable for the customer and whether the customer has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be reasonably expected to be capable of evaluating the risk of transactions in such securities. Accordingly, the SEC's rules may limit the number of potential purchasers of the shares of our common stock.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.
We rent office spaces from our President and chief executive officer and director, Lindsay Gorrill, at 6240 East Seltice Way Suite C, Post Falls, Idaho, USA 83854. This office space consists of approximately 250 square feet, and Mr. Gorrill supplies this office space to the company at a cost of $400 per month.
We currently do not own any physical property or own any real property.
THE COPPER BELLE PROPERTY
On April 17, 2007, we acquired the Copper Belle Property comprising of one claim block, number 534165, covering 186.5 hectares in the Nicola Mining District, British Columbia from Andrew Sostad for $6,000.
The mining claim lies approximately 190 air km North East of Vancouver BC. The closest community is that of Merritt BC, approximately 3.3 km to the southeast of the claim block. The claim is centered on latitude 50° 7' 18 N and longitude 120° 50' 11. W There is no electrical power that can be utilized on the claim other than electrical power that can be provided by gas or diesel generators that we would bring on site.
Title to the Copper Belle Property
Under the Mineral Tenure Act, title to British Columbia mineral claims can only be held by individuals, British Columbia corporations or foreign corporations extra-provincially registered in British Columbia. In order for us to delay the cost of incorporating a British Columbia subsidiary or extra-provincially registering our company until such time as we are able to determine if there are commercially exploitable mineral reserves located on our property, Mr. Sostad has agreed to hold title to our mineral claim in trust, for our benefit.
A copy of the Declaration of Trust executed by Mr. Sostad has been filed as an exhibit to our Registration Statement on Form SB-2 filed with the SEC on June 14, 2007. As we are the beneficial owners of the Copper Belle Property, we will continue to pay the costs of maintaining the Copper Belle Property and the cost of exploration activities on the property.
In order to maintain the Copper Belle Property in good standing, we must complete minimum exploration work on the mineral claim and file confirmation of the completion of the work with the Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources for the Province of British Columbia (the Ministry of Mines). In lieu of completing this work, we may pay a fee equal to the minimum exploration work that must be performed with the Ministry of Mines. The completion of mineral exploration work or payment in lieu of exploration work in any year will extend the existence of our mineral claim for one additional year. Our mineral claim is currently in good standing until March 19, 2009.
Description of Copper Belle Property
The Copper Belle Property is recorded with the Ministry of Mines as follows:
Name of Mineral | Area in Hectares | Tenure Number | Expiry Date |
Copper Belle | 186.5 | 534165 | March 19, 2010 |
The Province of British Columbia owns the land covered by the mineral claim. To our knowledge, there are no aboriginal land claims that might affect our title to our mineral claim or the Provinces title of the property.
Location
The Copper Belle Property mining claim lies approximately 190 air km miles northeast of Vancouver BC. The closest community is that of Merritt BC, approximately 3.3km to the southeast of the claim. The claim are centered on latitude 50º 07' 18" N and longitude 120º 50' 11" W. Active roads may provide excellent access, however we have not confirmed the conditions of road access to the claim themselves.

Climate
The region is situated within the dry belt of British Columbia, with yearly rainfall between 10 and 12 inches. Temperatures during the summer months could reach a high of 85° F with an average of 40° F. Temperatures during the winter months could reach a low of -20° F with an average of 15° F. On the property, snow cover on the ground could be from November to April and could hamper a year-round exploration and/or development program.
Infrastructure
Currently there is no plant or equipment located on the Copper Belle Property. There are many creeks located on the property, which should provide sufficient water for all phases of the exploration plan that may be undertaken. There are no electrical facilities currently built on the property. Diesel-electrical power will be required in the initial stages of development.
History
The following history is summarized from the report prepared by our consulting geologist, Robert Weicker dated May 29, 2007, concerning our mining claim which is situated to the northwest of Merritt in the Nicola Valley. The history of the Copper Belle Property dates back to 1880s when copper and silver mineralization was first found. Early work on the Copper Belle prospect comprises several short adits and a number of rock cuts over a 300 meter strike length. Historically, between 1908 and 1913 a number of small hand sorted shipments, including 47 tons averaging 7.19% copper in 1913, were sent to the Trail and Tacoma smelters. Our objective is to conduct exploration activities on our mining claim to assess whether the claim have any commercially viable Copper deposits. Until we can validate otherwise, the claim are without known reserves and we have planned a four phase program to explore our claim.
Property Geology
The claim is underlain by volcanic flows and tuffs and minor sediments of the Nicola Series of Triassic age. Where exposed, these are relatively thin bedded, in the order of a few feet to a few tens of feet in thickness. The tuffs are moderately coarse, frequently brown, to reddish, and only a few feet thick. The flows are generally andesitic, often exhibit broken glow tops with considerable calcification, and some strong amygdaloidal. The amgdules are often much elongated, especially near the flow bases, and consist mostly of silica with some calcite on occasion. Copper mineralization in the area is found disseminated in the flows and occupying fine fractures. Major Tertiary structures on the Copper Belle property include the notably the Guichon Creek Fault and Clapperton-Coldwater Faults intersect west of Merritt and are extensional features. The rocks underlying the current Copper Belle property comprise two principal groups. The Nicola Group of Upper Triassic age (UTrNW) chiefly consists of volcanic greenstones which are mainly andesitic with minor basaltic flows. The andesite is porphyritic in places. The Coast Intrusives of Jurassic (Eocene) (Etp) age is possibly a member of the Iron Mask batholiths comprising granite, granodiorite, syenite, monzonite and gabbro. The intrusive rocks are located 300-500 meters west of the western boundary of the property indicate volcanics of the Nicola Group comprising andesite to basalt flows, with minor breccia and tuff lenses, and intrusive rocks, comprising feldspar porphyry. The age of the intrusive rocks is indicated as Late Triassic-Pore Tertiary, which is believed to indicate an Eocene age.
Until we can validate otherwise, the claim is without known reserves and we have planned a four phase program to explore our claim.
Current Exploration
We received a geological evaluation report on the Copper Belle Property entitled Geological Evaluation Report on the Copper Belle Property prepared by Robert Weicker. on May 29, 2007,. In his geological report, Mr. Weicker recommended that a four phase continuing exploration program be conducted as follows:
8
Phase | Exploration Program | Cost | Status |
Phase I | Geological Mapping, Rock Sampling | $5,900 | Completed as of October,2007 |
Phase II | Compilation and data Input, Limited Trenching, Soil, Rock Sampling | $12,500 | Not commenced. |
Phase III . | Geological mapping and sampling, VLF-EM & MAG, Additional Trenching, Geological supervision. | $26,400 | In order to proceed with Phase III, will be based on the results of Phase II, |
Phase IV . | Diamond Drilling | $270,000 | In order to proceed with Phase IV, will be based on the results of Phase III, |
| Total Estimated Cost | $314,800 |
|
Phase I of our exploration program was completed in October of 2007. We received the Phase I report from Mr. Weicker on March 27, 2008. According to the report, samples that were taken from the property as part of the Phase I work indicated potential areas of significant mineralization on the Copper Belle Property. In his Phase I report, Weicker recommended that we proceed with Phase II of our exploration program.
THE EXCALIBUR PROPERTY
On April 11, 2008, Star Gold Corp. formerly Elan Development, Inc. (the "Registrant") executed a property purchase agreement (the "Agreement") with MinQuest, Inc. ("MinQuest") granting the Registrant the right to acquire 100% of the mining interests of one Nevada mineral exploration property currently controlled by MinQuest, a natural resource exploration company. The property named the Excalibur Property ( the Property"). The Property is located in Mineral County Nevada and currently consists of 8 unpatented mining claims. On June 18, 2009 Star Gold Corp. and MinQuest entered into an amending agreement to add an additional 42 Claims surrounding the current 8 claims, expanding the total claims to 50 claims held under the original purchase agreement.
We have completed an initial exploration program on the Excalibur Property, which included Geological Mapping, Rock Sampling and Assaying.. Our Geologist has recommended, additional exploration work be done, and has provided us with an exploration program and accompanying budget which includes additional Mapping and Sampling as well as Diamond Drilling.
EXCALIBUR EXPLORATION BUDGET
Grid Sampling 200 samples with time and expenses -
Or acquisition of previous exploration package $10,000
Permitting and bonding $20,000
Site preparation $15,000
Drilling 10 holes @ 300 feet/hole and assays $87,000
Geologist and expenses $18,000
Total $150,000
HISTORY
The Moho vein was discovered in 1903 and mined intermittently until the 1930s.According to the US Bureau of Mines IC 6941 written in 1937, the property produced over $100,000 of ore at an average grade of 1 opt gold, 6.5 opt silver and 1.4% lead. This equates to about 5000 tons of hand sorted ore. The report also states that an additional250,000 tons of ore were blocked out which average approximately 8.5 ppm gold over 3.2 feet of width. Since 1937 additional work was completed along the northern portion of the project. However, no additional production information is available for the property. The property went into foreclosure around 1984 and was held by the lender until 2006 when Tesoro Resources purchased the property. Although there is significant underground work and numerous trenches along strike of the mineralized zones, no apparent drilling was found within Tesoros property during this investigation. In 1991 Dennis Flagle discovered the Excalibur area. He leased the project to Alta Gold in 1996. The project is located approximately 3000 feet northeast of the Moho mine.
9
Alta staked an additional 120 claims south and east of Flagles original Excalibur claims. Alta reportedly conducted minimal geology, a soil sampling program and completed eleven RC drill holes from 1997 to 1998. Although this data is not currently available, it has been offered for sale by Mr. Flagle. Mr Flagle reports that some highly anomalous gold was encountered in two or more of the drill holes. Alta Gold went into receivership in 1998 and the property reverted to the lessor. The claims were abandoned shortly thereafter. MinQuest acquired the ground through staking of eight unpatented mining claims in 2004 and leased the project to Star Gold in 2007. Since that time an additional 46 claims have been added, 175 rock chip samples have been collected throughout the property and a geologic map with structure, alteration and cultural features has been completed.
GEOLOGY
Outcrops within the project boundary have been mapped as Permian Mina Formation to recent alluvial fill.
The oldest apparent unit outcropping in the area is at least partially of Permian age known as the Mina Formation. It has been age dated by K-Ar dates of detrital hornblende and by fossil fusulinids. The Formation is composed of silty to sandy shale and greywacke. Graded bedding and turbidity structures were noted in the field and were
useful in identifying the upside of steeply dipping beds. This unit is green to gray grading from sands to feldspathic mudstone. Massive units are green in color and probably derived from a basic volcanic component. This unit is at least 600 feet thick based on mapping within the project area. The middle unit is composed of tuff with a pumice-rich basal layer. This unit is distinctive and can be used as a top-set indicator since bedding and sag structures in
shale are generally destroyed by alteration. This unit is rather thin from a few feet to 20 feet thick. The upper unit is composed of massive to laminated gray to red-brown chert. It may be up to 200 feet thick in some places. However, this unit may be thickened by folding and faulting where mapped. The Mina Formation has been intruded by a Cretaceous quartz-eye granite porphyry stock on the south end of the project. This porphyry ranges from 89 to 93 Ma. The sediment contact is metamorphosed to slate and bleached quartzite. Feldspathic diorite plugs intrude the north and central portion of the property. The diorite has distinctive (calcic?) feldspar laths, often encased in another (sodic?) feldspar. These plugs may be lower Miocene in age correlating with other feldspathic diorite bodies
elsewhere in the range. The age dates for similar plugs in the area range from 15 to 22 Ma. Fractionated mafic dikes or sills are probably related to the feldspathic diorite plugs. The dikes or sills utilize fault planes for emplacement. Most of the mineralization occurs during this phase and strongly affects adjacent slate, meta-tuff. Mild alteration effects are also noted within the quartz porphyry. The dikes are generally bleached and altered to clay suggesting mineralizing fluids are related to this event or at least provided plumbing for later hydrothermal fluids. A late stage leucocratic dike swarm parallels the main northwesterly trending valley bisecting the project. This dike swarm cuts all rock types and appears to be the youngest rock formation within the project boundary. No age dates are known for this unit.
MINERALIZATION
Mineralization appears to be related to the mafic dikes and portions of the feldspathic diorite contacts. These intrusive events appear to have acted as conduits for hydrothermal fluids to migrate upwards and deposit minerals. Prospecting preferentially occurs along the diorite contact near the south-central portion of the claims, along the
Moho Vein, and along altered mafic dikes and plugs identified elsewhere on the property. There are three distinct types of breccias related to historic prospecting activities. The first breccia type occurs along fault zones that contain zones of rubble up to 10 feet thick flanked by bright orange to red iron oxide staining. A second breccia type is
represented by chert fragments cemented by chalcedonic silica. The third type of breccia is related to narrow calcite-filled fault zones and associated weak hematite staining resulting in pink calcite and breccia float trails which are poorly exposed. The following targets The bulk of the historic prospecting occurs along multiple, continuous, en echelon zones from 0.5 to 10 feet thick composed of hematite and sparcemented pebble breccias. These breccias wind through the faults zones and can be discontinuous and in discordant orientations. The zones are sometimes 'slaggy' specifically near diorite and mafic dike contacts. The Moho mine and parallel zones are 6 strongly associated with the diorite contact and along mafic dikes. The Moho Veins have been prospected to depths of 200 feet or more by multiple shafts and adits. The entire Moho Vein zone can be traced for over 7500 feet in length, 600 feet in width and over 1000 feet in elevation. Previous reports indicate an inferred resource of ~250,000
tons grading 8.5 ppm gold and 90 ppm silver has been blocked out by extensive underground sampling of existing workings. The Central Target is represented by the extension of the Moho that lies within the current claim position can be traced for over 1800 feet before it is lost under alluvial debris. Samples along this extension range from 0.8 to 7 g/t gold and 6 to 90 g/t silver. The workings are less extensive on Stargolds claim position. However, the low angle deposition of the mineralization coupled with multiple stacked veins indicates potential for either open pit or underground mining. Recent sampling and mapping have identified alteration consisting of silicified and brecciated zones with associated anomalous gold and silver concentrations. These alteration zones are located within the southern and northeastern portions of the property.
10
The Southern target is defined by an area roughly 1200 by 1500 feet composed of chert fragments cemented with chalcedonic silica. In places, later fault zones cut this material. The later faults contain clay gouge probably related to the aforementioned dikes and iron oxides. Gold values can be as high as 3 g/t, but are generally in the 0.1 to 0.8 g/t range. Silver values range from 3 to 80 g/t. The Northeastern target is hosted within brecciated chert and silicified diorite. Barite veins have been noted locally. Gold values range from 0.1 to 1.5 g/t and average 0.7 g/t while silver values can reach 10 g/t. This area was soil sampled by Alta Gold in 1997 and reportedly contained gold to 3 g/t in soils and 8 g/t in select rock chips. In 1998 Alta drilled five holes to test this target. The hole collars were poorly selected and proved to be too far from the target. Three holes failed to intersect any alteration while two holes were lost as they entered the mineralized zone. The area of anomalous gold is roughly 2500 feet by 900 feet. A target was also identified in the northwestern corner of the property. Samples collected from this area range from 0.8 to 14 g/t gold and 3 to 90 g/t silver from various pits and shafts. To date, this area appears to represent narrow, discontinuous structures hosted by a diorite plug. The target is currently considered too small and will need more work to bring it to a potential drill target.

(a) | we would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business; or |
|
|
(b) | our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed, if we were to be dissolved at the time of distribution, to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of stockholders who may have preferential rights and whose preferential rights are superior to those receiving the distribution (except as otherwise specifically allowed by our Articles of Incorporation). |

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.
PLAN OF OPERATION
Based on the recommendations of our consulting geologists, we have decided to continue our exploration program on the Copper Belle Property and the Excalibur Property. However, as at April 30, 2009, we had 15,018 cash on hand, of and a working capital deficit of $220,232. As such, we will require substantial additional financing in the near future in order to meet our current obligations and to continue our operations. Currently, we do not have any financing arrangements in place and there are no assurances that we will be able to obtain sufficient financing on terms acceptable to us, if at all.
Due to the lack of our operating history and our present inability to generate revenues, our auditors have stated in their audit report included in our audited financial statements for the year ended April 30, 2009 that there currently exists substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Net Increase (Decrease) in Cash During Period | $(12,048) | $(49,411) |
The decrease in our working capital at April 30, 2009 from our year ended April 30, 2008 is primarily a result of the fact that we had no revenue or sources of long-term financing during the year ended April 30, 2009.
As of April 30, 2009, we had cash on hand of $15,018. Since our inception, our sole sources of financing have been sales of our common stock. We have not attained profitable operations and our ability to pursue any future plan of operation is dependent upon our ability to obtain financing. For these reasons, our auditors stated in their report to our audited financial statements for the period ended April 30, 2009 that there is substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern.
We anticipate continuing to rely on sales of our common stock in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to our existing stockholders. There is no assurance that we will be able to complete any additional sales of our equity securities or that we will be able arrange for other financing to fund our planned business activities.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to our stockholders.
13
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
We have identified certain accounting policies, described below, that are most important to the portrayal of our current financial condition and results of operations. Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in the notes to the audited financial statements included in this Annual Report.
Foreign Currency Translation
We use the United States of America dollar as our reporting currency for consistency with the registrants of the SEC and in accordance with FAS No. 52.
Assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency at period-end are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the period-end and capital accounts are translated at historical rates. Income statement accounts are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the period. Any gains or losses arising as a result of such translations are not included in operations, but are reported as a separate component of equity as foreign currency translation adjustments, if applicable.
Transactions undertaken in currencies other than the functional currency are translated using the exchange rate in effect as of the transaction date. Any exchange gains or losses are included in other income or expenses on the statement of operations, if applicable.
Mineral Property
Cost of lease, acquisition, exploration, carrying and retaining unproven mineral lease properties are expensed as incurred.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We do not hold any derivative instruments and do not engage in any hedging activities. Because most of our purchases and sales will made in Canadian dollars, any exchange rate change affecting the value of the in Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar could have an effect on our financial results as reported in U.S. dollars. If the in Canadian dollar were to depreciate against the U.S. dollar, amounts reported in U.S. dollars would be correspondingly reduced. If the in Canadian dollar were to appreciate against the U.S. dollar, amounts reported in U.S. dollars would be correspondingly increased.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
Index to Financial Statements:
Audited financial statements as of April 30, 2009, including:
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To The Shareholders and Board of Directors
of Star Gold Corp.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Star Gold Corp., (an Exploration Stage Company) as of April 30, 2009 and 2008 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders equity and cash flows for the year ended April 30, 2009 and 2008 and for the period from December 8, 2006 (inception) through April 30, 2009. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the 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 consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provided a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Star Gold Corp., as of April 30, 2009 and 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended April 30, 2009 and 2008 and the period from December 8, 2006 (inception) through April 30, 2009 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements referred to above have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 1, the Companys need to seek new sources or methods of financing or revenue to pursue its business strategy, raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plans as to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period of December 8, 2006 (inception)
through April 30, 2009
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Elan Development Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 8, 2006 The Company was organized to explore mineral properties in British Columbia, Canada.
These financial statements are presented on the basis that the Company is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business over a reasonable length of time. As of April 30, 2009, the Company had $15,018 in cash, working capital of $6,268, and shareholders equity of $6,268 and accumulated net losses of $220,232 since inception. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Its continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis, to obtain additional financing or refinancing as may be required, to develop commercially viable mining reserves, and ultimately to establish profitable operations.
Management's plans for the continuation of the Company as a going concern include financing the Company's operations through issuance of its common stock. If the Company is unable to complete its financing requirements or achieve revenue as projected, it will then modify its expenditures and plan of operations to coincide with the actual financing completed and actual operating revenues.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary Elan Development Corp, a Company incorporated under the Company Act of Alberta on March 15, 2007. All inter-company transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 these financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Regulatory Matters
The company and its mineral property interests are subject to a variety of Canadian national and provincial regulations governing land use, health, safety and environmental matters. The companys management believes it has been in substantial compliance with all such regulations, and is unaware of any pending action or proceeding relating to regulatory matters that would affect the financial position of the Company.
Impaired Asset Policy
The Company periodically reviews its long-lived assets when applicable to determine if any events or changes in circumstances have transpired which indicate that the carrying value of its assets may not be recoverable, pursuant to guidance established in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 ("SFAS 144"), "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets". The Company determines impairment by comparing the undiscounted future cash flows estimated to be generated by its assets to their respective carrying amounts. If impairment is deemed to exist, the assets will be written down to fair value.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Start-up Expenses
The Company has adopted Statement of Position No. 98-5 ("SOP 98-5"), "Reporting the Costs of Start-up Activities," which requires that costs associated with start-up activities be expensed as incurred.
Accordingly, start-up costs associated with the Company's formation have been included in the Company's general and administrative expenses for the period from inception on December 8, 2006 to April 30, 2007.
Mineral Property Costs
Mineral property acquisition, exploration and development costs are expenses as incurred until such time as economic reserves are quantified. From that time forward, the Company will capitalize all costs to the extent that future cash flows from mineral resources equal or exceed the costs deferred. The deferred costs will be amortized over the recoverable reserves when a property reaches commercial production. Costs related to site restoration programs will be accrued over the life of the project. To date, the Company has not established any proven reserves on its mineral properties.
On April 11, 2008, Elan Development, Inc. (the "Registrant") executed a property purchase agreement (the "Agreement") with MinQuest, Inc. ("MinQuest") granting the Registrant the right to acquire 100% of the mining interests of one Nevada mineral exploration property currently controlled by MinQuest, a natural resource exploration company. The property named the Excalibur Property ( the Property"). The Property is located in Mineral County Nevada and currently consists of 8 unpatented mining claims. Since the payment obligations are non-refundable, if the Company does not make any payments under the Agreement, they will lose any payments made and the rights to the respective property. If all said payments under the Agreements are made, the Company will acquire all mining interests in the respective property.
Because the claims have no proven mineral reserves, the amount allocated toward mineral rights and claims was considered 100% impaired and written off at the date of acquisition. The Company has paid approximately $37,000 towards this agreement as of April 30, 2009.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Companys functional currency is the Canadian dollar as substantially all of the Companys operations are in Canada. The Company used the United States dollar as its reporting currency for

consistency with registrants of the Securities and Exchange Commission and in accordance with the SFAS No. 53 Foreign Currency Translation.
Assets and liabilities that are denominated in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the year end and capital accounts are translated at historical rates. Income statement accounts are
translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the period. Translation adjustments from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included in the Comprehensive Income statement account in Shareholders Equity, if applicable. There were no translation adjustments as of April 30, 2009.
Transactions undertaken in currencies other than the functional currency of the entity are translated using the exchange rate in effect as of the transaction date. If applicable, exchange gains and losses are included
in other items on the Statement of Operations. There were no exchange gains or losses as of April 30, 2009.
Loss Per Share
The Company computed basic and diluted loss per share amounts for April 30, 2009 pursuant to the SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share. There are no potentially dilutive shares outstanding and, accordingly, dilutive per share amounts have not been presented in the accompanying statements of operations.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
SFAS No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, requires disclosures of information regarding the fair value of certain financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate the value. For purpose of this disclosure, the fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale of liquidation.
Comprehensive Loss
SFAS No.130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. As of April 30, 2009 the Company

has no items that represent comprehensive loss and therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive loss in financial statements.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are recognized in accordance with SFAS 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", whereby deferred income tax liabilities or assets at the end of each period are determined using the tax rate
expected to be in effect when the taxes are actually paid or recovered. A valuation allowance is recognized on deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some or all of these deferred tax assets will not be realized.
NOTE 3 MINERAL LEASES AND CLAIMS
The Company has a 100% interest in a certain mineral property in the Nicola Mining Division British Columbia, Canada, collectively referred as to the Copper Belle Property.
On April 17, 2007, the Company acquired a 100% interest in numerous claims known as the Copper Belle Property and is located in the Nicola Mining Division, British Columbia. The claims were purchased for $6,000 cash.
NOTE 4 RECENT AUTHORITATIVE PRONOUNCEMENTS
Recent accounting pronouncements that the Company has adopted or will be required to adopt in the future are summarized below.
In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS No. 159). SFAS No. 159 allows companies to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. SFAS No. 159 will become effective for the Company beginning in fiscal 2009. The Company is currently evaluating what effects the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have on the Companys future results of operations and financial condition.
In June 2006, the FASB ratified Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 06−3 (EITF 06-3), “How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the

Income Statement (That Is, Gross versus Net Presentation). EITF 06−3 applies to any tax assessed by a governmental authority that is directly imposed on a revenue producing transaction between a seller and a customer. EITF 06−3 allows companies to present taxes either gross within revenue and expense or net. If taxes subject to this issue are significant, a company is required to disclose its accounting policy for presenting taxes and the amount of such taxes that are recognized on a gross basis. EITF 06−3 is required to be adopted during the first quarter of fiscal year 2008. The Company does not collect taxes from customer and does not expect that its adoption will impact currently presents such taxes net. These taxes are currently not material to the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. SFAS 157 addresses the requests from investors for expanded disclosure about the extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure fair value and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. SFAS 157 applies whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value, and does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and will be
adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008. The Company is unable at this time to determine the effect that its adoption of SFAS 157 will have on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 13-1 (As Amended), Accounting for Rental Costs Incurred during a Construction Period (FAS 13-1). This position requires a company to recognize as rental expense the rental costs associated with a ground or building operating lease during a construction period, except for costs associated with projects accounted for under SFAS No. 67, Accounting for Costs and Initial Rental Operations of Real Estate Projects. FAS 13-1 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2005 and was adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2007. The Companys adoption of FAS 13-1 will not materially affect its consolidated results of operations and financial position.
In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, "Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements" (SAB 108). SAB 108 provides guidance on the consideration of the effects of prior year misstatements in quantifying current year misstatements for the purpose of a materiality assessment. SAB 108 establishes an approach that requires quantification of financial statement errors based on the effects of each on a company's balance sheet and statement of operations and the related financial statement disclosures.

The Company does not expect the adoption of SAB 108 to have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
FSP FAS 123(R)-5 was issued on October 10, 2006. The FSP provides that instruments that were originally issued as employee compensation and then modified, and that modification is made to the
terms of the instrument solely to reflect an equity restructuring that occurs when the holders are no longer employees, then no change in the recognition or the measurement (due to a change in classification) of those instruments will result if both of the following conditions are met: (a). There is no increase in fair value of the award (or the ratio of intrinsic value to the exercise price of the award is preserved, that is, the holder is made whole), or the antidilution provision is not added to the terms of the award in contemplation of an equity restructuring; and (b). All holders of the same class of equity instruments (for example, stock options) are treated in the same manner. The provisions in this FSP shall be applied in the first reporting period beginning after the date the FSP is posted to the FASB website.
The company does not expect the adoption of FSP FAS 123(R)-5 to have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
In October 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109" (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing the recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet
before being recognized in the financial statements. It also provides guidance on derecognizing, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The cumulative effects, if any, of applying FIN 48 will be recorded as an adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, and the Company is required to adopt it in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008. The Company has
adopted FIN 48 and is evaluating the effect it will have on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition and is not currently in a position to determine such effects, if any.

NOTE 6 - INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes arise from timing differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods. A deferred tax asset valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be realized. A valuation allowance of 100% of the deferred tax assets was made, and there are no deferred taxes as of April 30, 2009 and 2008. There was no income tax expense for the years ended April 30, 2009 and 2008 due to the Companys net losses.
The Companys tax benefit differs from the expected tax benefit for the years ended April 30, 2009, which is (computed by applying the Federal Corporate tax rate of 34% to loss before taxes), as follows

TERM OF OFFICE
Our directors are appointed for a one-year term to hold office until the next annual general meeting of our stockholders or until removed from office in accordance with our Bylaws. Our officers are appointed by our board of directors and hold office until removed by the board.
SIGNIFICANT EMPLOYEES
We have no significant employees other than our officers and directors.
AUDIT COMMITTEE
We are not a listed issuer and as such our Board of Directors is not required to maintain a separately-designated standing audit committee. As a result, our entire Board of Directors acts as our audit committee. Our sole director does not meet the definition of an audit committee financial expert. We believe that the cost related to appointing a financial expert to our Board of Directors at this time is prohibitive.

Based on our review of the copies of such forms received by us, other than as described below, no other reports were required for those persons. We believe that, during the year ended April 30, 2009, all Reporting Persons complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to them.

(1) | Based on 30,155,000 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding as of July 29, 2009,. Under Rule 13d-3, certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in this table does not necessarily reflect the persons actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number of shares of common stock actually outstanding on April 30, 2009 |

On May 28, 2008 Colleen Ewanchuk the Companys former president transferred to Lindsay Gorrill the Companys new president 18,000,000 common shares for the sum of $25,000.
ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.
Except as described below, none of the following parties has, since our date of incorporation, had any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction with us or in any presently proposed transaction that has or will materially affect us, other than noted in this section:
| (i) | Any of our directors or officers; |

| (iii) | Any person who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, shares carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to our outstanding shares of common stock; |
| (iv) | Any of our promoters; and |
| (v) | Any relative or spouse of any of the foregoing persons who has the same house as such person. |
On April 5, 2007, we issued 6,000,000 total shares of common stock who at the time was our sole executive officer and sole director, Colleen Ewanchuk , at a price of $0.001 per share. The shares were issued pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and are restricted shares as defined in the Securities Act. The shares were subsequently split in early 2008 on a 3 to 1 basis giving Colleen Ewanchuk 18,000,000 common shares. On May 28, 2008 Colleen Ewanchuk the Companys former president transferred to Lindsay Gorrill the Companys new president 18,000,000 common shares for the sum of $25,000.
Director Independence
Quotations for our common stock are entered on the OTC Bulletin Board inter-dealer quotation system, which does not have director independence requirements. For purposes of determining director independence, we have applied the definitions set out in NASDAQ Rule 4200(a)(15). Under NASDAQ Rule 4200(a)(15), a director is not considered to be independent if he or she is also an executive officer or employee of the corporation.
