STAR GOLD CORP.

(An Exploration Stage Company)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JANUARY 31, 2013

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Star Gold Corp. (the "Company") was initially incorporated as Elan Development, Inc., in the State of Nevada on December 8, 2006. The Company was originally organized to explore mineral properties in British Columbia, Canada but the Company is currently focusing on Gold properties in Nevada.

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 shown in the accompanying balance sheets and statements of operations, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $5,874,815 and net loss of $1,824,387 for the nine months ended January 31, 2013, and as of that date the Company's current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $11,774. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. 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 debt and/or equity securities. 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. There are no assurances, however, with respect to the future success of these plans.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information, as well as the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial statements have been included. Operating results for the three months and nine months ended January 31, 2013, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending April 30, 2013.

For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2012.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant areas requiring the use of management assumptions and estimates relate to asset impairments and stock option valuation. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions and could have a material effect on the Company’s reported financial position and results of operations.

Cash and cash equivalents

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

Restricted cash

Restricted cash represents collateral for bonds held for permits.

Fair Value Measures

ASC Topic 820 "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures" ("ASC 820") requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the

STAR GOLD CORP.

(An Exploration Stage Company)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JANUARY 31, 2013

level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument's categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1: Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets

or liabilities.

Level 2: Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quote prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

Level 3: Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology

that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Stock-based Compensation

The Company estimates the fair value of options to purchase common stock using the Black-Scholes model, which requires the input of some subjective assumptions. These assumptions include estimating the length of time employees will retain their vested stock options before exercising them (“expected life”), the estimated volatility of the Company’s common stock price over the expected term (“volatility”), employee forfeiture rate, the risk-free interest rate and the dividend yield. Changes in the subjective assumptions can materially affect the estimate of fair value of stock-based compensation. Options granted have a ten year maximum term and varying vesting periods as determined by the Board. The value of common stock awards is determined based on the closing price of the Company’s stock on the date of the award.

Loss Per Share

Basic Earnings Per Share ("EPS") is computed as net income (loss) available to common stockholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through stock options, warrants, and other convertible securities.

The dilutive effect of convertible and outstanding securities as of January 31, 2013 and 2012, would be as follows:


		2013		2012

Stock options			2,560,000		518,333
Warrants			7,666,407		131,667
	Total possible dilution		10,226,407		650,000

At January 31, 2013 and 2012, the effect of the Company's outstanding options and common stock equivalents would have been anti-dilutive.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2012 financial statements in order to conform to the 2013 presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on net loss, total assets or accumulated deficit as restated.

NOTE 3 – PREPAID EXPENSES

The following is a summary of the Company’s prepaid expenses at January 31, 2013 and April 30, 2012:


	January 31, 2013		April 30, 2012

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

		Total					$	2,613		$	133,554

Exploration expense at April 30, 2012 was prepaid in order to satisfy required expenditure obligations for the year ended January 15, 2012 for which the corresponding work could not be completed by that date. The prepaid balance was reduced as invoices were applied to ongoing drilling and exploration activities which the Company recognized as exploration expense during the remainder of its fiscal year ending April 30, 2013.

NOTE 4 – EQUIPMENT AND MINING INTERESTS

The following is a summary of the Company's equipment and mining interests at January 31, 2013 and April 30, 2012, respectively:


		January 31, 2013		April 30, 2012

	Total	$	386,204	$	326,655

Excalibur Property

On April 11, 2008, the Company executed a property purchase agreement (the "Excalibur Agreement") with MinQuest, Inc. ("MinQuest") granting the Company the right to acquire 100% of the mining interests of the Nevada mineral exploration property known as the “Excalibur Property.” The Excalibur Property is located in Mineral County, Nevada. On June 18, 2009 the Company entered into an amending agreement to add an additional 42 claims surrounding the original 8 claims, expanding the total claims to 50 claims held.

The Company has completed an initial exploration program on the Excalibur Property, which included geological mapping, rock sampling and assaying. Based on this analysis the Company decided to move forward with the exploration of this property and drilling program. The permitting was completed in June 2010 and the drilling program originally commenced the week of June 20, 2010.

The Excalibur Agreement requires cash payments, from the Company to MinQuest, totaling $100,000 over five (5) years and the issuance, to MinQuest, of 200,000 stock options based on “fair market price” over the same five-year period. The Company also agreed to make work commitments, on the Property, of $275,000 over the same 5 year period. Following the fifth anniversary, if the Company has made all cash payments, issued all required options and all of the required work commitments have been met, the Company shall receive, from MinQuest, a quitclaim for 100% interest in the Property with MinQuest reserving a 3% Net Smelter Return. The Excalibur Property Option Agreement was amended on January 30, 2012 revising the payment date of the final required expenditure to August 31, 2012 and thereafter amended on August 31, 2012 extending the payment date of the final expenditure to January 31, 2013. The Excalibur Property Option Agreement was subsequently amended on September 7, 2012, revising the payment date on the final required expenditure to October 31, 2013. The schedule of remaining annual payments, minimum expenditures and number of stock options to be issued pursuant to the Excalibur Property agreement is as follows:


		Required expenditure		Payment to optioner		Annual stock option obligation

October 31, 2013		$	100,000		20,000		50,000
	Total	$	100,000	$	20,000		50,000

The Longstreet Property

On January 15, 2010, the Company signed an option agreement (the “Longstreet Agreement”) for the Sole Exclusive Rights to lease and obtain the option to acquire 60 unpatented mining claims totaling approximately 490 hectares known as the “Longstreet Property.”

The terms of the Longstreet Agreement included an initial cash payment, MinQuest, of $20,000, issuance, to MinQuest, of 25,000 common shares and 25,000 stock options based on “fair market price.” The Longstreet Agreement terms also include cash payments, to MinQuest, totaling $250,000 payable over seven (7) years and the issuance of 175,000 common shares and 175,000 stock options based on “fair market price” over the same 7year period. The Company also agreed to make work commitments totaling $3,550,000

over the same 7 year period. Following the seventh anniversary of the agreement, if all terms have been met, the Company shall receive a quitclaim deed for a 100% interest in the property with MinQuest retaining a 3% Net Smelter Return.

The schedule of remaining annual payments, minimum expenditures and number of stock options to be issued pursuant to the Longstreet Agreement is as follows:


	Required expenditure			Payment to optioner	Annual stock option obligation	Annual stock grant obligation

	$	2,750,000	$	204,000	100,000	100,000

The Jet Property

On July 7, 2010, the Company acquired, pursuant to the Jet Agreement, the right to earn a 100% mining interest in the Jet Property located in Nevada. The Jet Agreement calls for the Company to invest a total of $110,000 (consisting of $40,000 in direct payments and $70,000 in expenditures towards development of the project) over the seven year period commencing with the execution of the agreement. Under the Jet Agreement, MinQuest is also entitled to receive residual payments if and when the project enters into production. The Jet Property Option Agreement was amended on September 7, 2012 revising the payment date of the required 2013 expenditure from July 7, 2013 to August 31, 2013; the extension was granted only for the 2013 payment. The schedule of remaining annual payments and minimum expenditures pursuant to the Jet Agreement is as follows:

NOTE 5– RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

On October 1, 2008, the Company leased office space for $1,000 per month plus a proportionate share of utilities and insurance from Marlin Property Management, LLC (“Marlin”) an entity owned by the spouse of the Company’s then President and current Chairman of the Board (Lindsay Gorrill). On September 1, 2011, the Company moved its offices from Post Falls, Idaho to Coeur d’Alene, Idaho and continues to lease space from Marlin at the rate of $2,500 per month. The Company believes this office space and facilities are sufficient to meet its present needs, and do not anticipate any difficulty securing alternative or additional space, as needed, on terms acceptable to us. For the three months ended January 31, 2013 and 2012, $8,898 and $6,033 and for the nine months ended January 31, 2013 and 2012, $26,216 and $13,499 was paid to this related entity inclusive of the Company’s pro-rata share of common expenses.

During the years ended April 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company entered into a series of short term promissory notes, with the spouse of the Company’s then President, and current Chairman of the Board (Lindsay Gorrill), in the amount of $145,400. The notes matured October 1, November 1, December 1, 2011 and January 1, 2012 respectively, and bore interest at 12% per annum and were subsequently been extended at the payor's option for an additional six (6) months each. Accrued interest of $5,816 was paid through

issuance of 9,693 shares of common stock at $0.60 per share which approximated fair value of the shares at the date of issuance and is included in “Common stock payable” on the Company’s balance sheet at April 30, 2012.

On or about February 17, 2012, the balance of the short term promissory notes were subsequently transformed into convertible debentures as discussed in Note 6.

On or about October 31, 2012, the Company entered into a short term promissory note with the spouse of the Company’s Chairman of the Board (Lindsay Gorrill) in the amount of $30,000. The note matured December 31, 2012 and bore interest at 6% per annum. On or about December 14, 2012, the balance of the note was paid in full.

NOTE 6 - CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES

On or about February 17, 2012, the Company issued $900,000 in five percent (5%) convertible debentures which were due one (1) year after their original issue date and were convertible into a total of 9,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at the conversion price of $.10 per share. In connection with the issuance the Company issued common stock purchase warrants convertible into a total of 9,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at the exercise price of $.15 per share. The warrants were scheduled to expire one (1) year from their original issue date; the exercise expiration date was subsequently extended as set forth in Note 12 below.

Management recognized a debt discount of $667,571 representing the relative fair value of the detachable warrants, to be amortized over the term of the associated debt. Management determined the fair value of the detachable warrants using a Black-Scholes pricing model with the following inputs:



Stock price	$0.60	$1.15
Exercise price	$0.15	$0.15
Expected life	1 year	1 year
Weighted average volatility	373.9%	376.2%
Risk-free rate	0.18%	0.18%

Management determined the embedded conversion feature in the debentures constituted a beneficial conversion feature, and recognized a debt discount of $87,029. In calculating the accounting conversion rate of the beneficial conversion feature, the intrinsic value exceeded the debt instrument itself. Therefore, the amount of discount assigned to the feature was limited to the proceeds allocated to the convertible instrument.

$145,400 of related-party short term promissory notes (see Note 5) were converted into the debentures. The Company has considered the impact of ASC 470-50 “Debt-Modifications and Extinguishments” on the conversion of the related-party short term promissory notes and concluded that it constitutes a substantial modification and therefore should be accounted for as an extinguishment of debt. During the year ended April 30, 2012, the Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of the short term promissory notes of $1,639,575 representing the difference between the fair value of the debt and warrants and the carrying value of the original notes.

As per Note 7, on April 30, 2012, the Company elected to convert all of the outstanding debentures issued on February 17 2012, into common shares pursuant to the terms of the debentures. Therefore, all remaining debt discount was recognized as an expense as of that date.

On June 18, 2012, the Company closed on a private placement of its securities. The placement consisted of issuing two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000) in five percent (5%) convertible debentures. The debentures were due one (1) year from their original issue date and were convertible into a total of 833,333 shares of the Company’s common stock, at the conversion price of $.30 per share, at any time before maturity, solely at the option of the Company. The placement also included the issuance of warrants to the debenture holders, giving the holders thereof the ability to purchase, at the exercise price of $.75 per share, one (1) share of common stock of the Company for each share of Company’s common stock issuable to the holder upon conversion of the debentures issued in conjunction with the warrants. The warrants expire two (2) years from their original issue date.

Management recognized a debt discount of $119,821 representing the relative fair value of the detachable warrants, to be amortized over the term of the associated debt. Management determined the fair value of the detachable warrants using a Black-Scholes pricing model with the following inputs:

Corporate Background

The Company was originally incorporated on December 8, 2006 under the laws of the State of Nevada as Elan Development, Inc. On April 25, 2008, the name of the company was changed to Star Gold Corp. Star Gold Corp. is an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of precious metal deposit properties and advancing them toward production. The Company is engaged in the business of exploring, evaluating and acquiring mineral prospects with the potential for economic deposits of precious and base metals.

The Company currently owns the rights to acquire up to a 100% mining interest (covering a total of 50 unpatented claims) in a mineral property (known as the Excalibur Property) located in the State of Nevada.

The Company has completed an initial exploration program on the Excalibur Property, which included Geological Mapping, Rock Sampling and Assaying. Based on this analysis the Company has decided to move forward with the permitting of this property and associated drilling program. The permitting was completed in June 2010 and the drilling program originally commenced the week of June 20th, 2010. The Company conducted additional drilling and exploration of the Excalibur Property which commenced in late October 2012.

Star Gold Corp. currently leases with an option to acquire 60 unpatented mining claims (covering approximately 490 Hectares) located in the State of Nevada and known as the Longstreet Property. The Company recently completed a drilling program of 16 test holes and expects to commence additional core drilling of the Main target site in April/May 2012.

On July 7th, 2010, Star Gold Corp. entered into a Property Option agreement whereby it may earn a 100% mineral interest in a Property located in the State of Nevada (approximately 300 kilometers northwest of Las Vegas) known as the Jet Property.

The Company has no patents, licenses, franchises or concessions which are considered by the Company to be of importance. The business is not of a seasonal nature. Since the potential products are traded in the open market, the Company has no control over the competitive conditions in the industry.

Overview of Mineral Exploration and Current Operations

Star Gold Corp. is a mineral exploration stage company with no producing mines. Mineral exploration is essentially a research activity that does not produce a product. Successful exploration often results in increased project value that can be realized through the optioning or selling of the claimed site to larger companies. As such the Company acquires properties which it believes have potential to host economic concentrations of minerals, particularly gold and silver. These acquisitions have and may take the form of unpatented mining claims on federal land, or leasing claims, or private property owned by others. An unpatented mining claim is an interest that can be acquired to the mineral rights on open lands of the federal owned public domain. Claims are staked in accordance with the Mining Law of 1872, recorded with the federal government pursuant to laws and regulations established by the Bureau of Land Management The Company intends to remain in the business of exploring for mining properties that have the potential to produce gold, silver, base metals and other commodities.

Compliance With Government Regulations

If the Company decides to continue with the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties in the State of Nevada it 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 and the United States Federal agencies.

United States

Mining in the State of Nevada is subject to federal, state and local law. Three types of laws are of particular importance to the Company’s U.S. mineral properties: those affecting land ownership and mining rights; those regulating mining operations; and those dealing with the environment.

Land Ownership and Mining Rights.

On Federal Lands, mining rights are governed by the General Mining Law of 1872 (General Mining Law) as amended, 30 U.S.C. §§ 21-161 (various sections), which allows the location of mining claims on certain Federal Lands upon the discovery of a valuable mineral deposit and proper compliance with claim location requirements. A valid mining claim provides the holder with the right to conduct mining operations for the removal of locatable minerals, subject to compliance with the General Mining Law and Nevada state law governing the staking and registration of mining claims, as well as compliance with various federal, state and local operating and environmental laws, regulations and ordinances. As the owner or lessee of the unpatented mining claims, the Company has the right to conduct mining operations on the lands subject to the prior procurement of required operating permits and approvals, compliance with the terms and conditions of any applicable mining lease, and compliance with applicable federal, state, and local laws, regulations and ordinances.

Mining Operations

The exploration of mining properties and development and operation of mines is governed by both federal and state laws.

The State of Nevada likewise requires various permits and approvals before mining operations can begin, although the state and federal regulatory agencies usually cooperate to minimize duplication of permitting efforts. Among other things, a detailed reclamation plan must be prepared and approved, with bonding in the amount of projected reclamation costs. The bond is used to ensure that proper reclamation takes place, and the bond will not be released until that time. The Nevada Department of Environmental Protection, which is referred to as the NDEP, is the state agency that administers the reclamation permits, mine permits and related closure plans on the Nevada property. Local jurisdictions (such as Eureka County) may also impose permitting requirements (such as conditional use permits or zoning approvals).

Environmental Law

The development, operation, closure, and reclamation of mining projects in the United States requires numerous notifications, permits, authorizations, and public agency decisions. Compliance with environmental and related laws and regulations requires us to obtain permits issued by regulatory agencies, and to file various reports and keep records of the Company’s operations. Certain of these permits require periodic renewal or review of their conditions and may be subject to a public review process during which opposition to the Company’s proposed operations may be encountered. The Company is currently operating under various permits for activities connected to mineral exploration, reclamation, and environmental considerations. Unless and until a mineral resource is proved, it is unlikely Star Gold Corp. operations will move beyond the exploration stage. If in the future the Company decides to proceed beyond exploration, there will be numerous notifications, permit applications, and other decisions to be addressed at that time.

Competition

Star Gold Corp. competes 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 the Company competes have greater financial and technical resources. Accordingly, 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 Star Gold Corp.’s ability to finance further exploration and to achieve the financing necessary for the Company to develop its mineral properties.

The Company provides no assurance it will be able to compete in any of its business areas effectively with current or future competitors or that the competitive pressures faced by the Company will not have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and operating results.

Office and Other Facilities

Star Gold Corp. currently maintains its administrative offices at 611 E. Sherman Avenue, Coeur d'Alene, ID 83814. The telephone number is (208) 664-5066.

PLAN OF OPERATION

The Company maintains a corporate office in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. This is the primary administrative office for the company and is utilized by Company Chairman Lindsay Gorrill and Chief Financial Officer Kelly Stopher.

The financial condition of the Company was positive during 2012 and the metals commodity markets were favorable for most of the year.

The Company's plan of operations for the next twelve months, subject to funding, and the availability of contractors, is as follows:

Continue the advanced exploration and pre-development program for the Longstreet Project. This work may include the following:

Phase One:

A program of induced polarization survey, trenching, and in-fill diamond drilling to better outline the zones of known Au-Ag mineralization at the Main Zone target area. This would consist of approximately 1,110 meters (3,640 feet) of diamond-drilling in 17 drill holes. The objective of this work is to fill-in areas where historic drill holes had stopped in mineralization and extend the Au-Ag mineralization at depth.

The preliminary budget for a Phase One program in 2013 is as follows:


Item			Amount ($)	Remarks
Geophysical (IP-Resistivity) survey: 8 line-m at $5,000/km		$	40,000	Survey over the Main Zone and Opal Ridge, across to North Zone.
Diamond drilling: 1,110 m at $200/m			222,000	Infill drilling at Main Zone and extension of known targets; testing 30 m to 125 m below surface.
Mob & demob for drilling program			10,000
Assays: 1,150 samples at $30 each			34,500
Geological support: 30 days at $700 per day			21,000	Includes one geologist, one technician.
Accommodations and meals: 30 days at $150 per day			4,500
Transportation of field crew: 30 days at $72 per day			2,160
Mineralogical studies and metallurgical testing			40,000	On diamond drill core samples.
Travel and related			10,000
Supervision and G&A			35,000
Resource estimation			60,000
Property Maintenance			20,840
	Subtotal, direct costs		500,000
Contingencies at 10%			50,000
	Total	$	550,000

Initiate metallurgical studies to further determine the leachability of the gold/silver mineralization.

Continue to work with potential joint venture or capital partners to advance the project into the next phase of exploration and pre-production goals.

Primary focus of 2013 exploration activities at Longstreet will be to enlarge the known and defined mineralization in the Main Zone. Column leach metallurgical testing will also be conducted during the year with an emphasis on determining the leachability of coarsely crushed material. If funding is available, a third target, Cyprus Ridge, will be tested with a small core drilling program.

Phase Two: A Phase Two drilling program in the order of $2 million may be carried out over the Opal Ridge and Cyprus Ridge targets on the property upon successful results of the Phase One drilling.

Drilling Highlights – Main

Highlights of the drilling results can be found on the Star Gold website at www.stargoldcorp.com/news/CompletedDrillatMainIntervals2012Drilling.pdf. The plan map can be found at www.stargoldcorp.com/news/map.pdf.

2012 drilling began in May and consisted of 23 RC and 4 core holes totaling 11,535 feet. Three of the RC holes were drilled at the North target and one was drilled into the Opal Ridge target.

All drilling samples were collected in five foot intervals, logged and securely shipped to ALS Chemex Labs, Inc. in Reno, Nevada to be analyzed, by fire assay, for gold and silver. A second sample split is kept on site for possible further.

Opal Ridge

LS-1201 was drilled as a stratigraphic hole into the Opal Ridge target just southeast of Main. Opal Ridge is the down-faulted southeast extension of Main target. This hole was drilled vertical for 480 feet. From the surface to 60 feet, the hole contained intercepting volcanic sediments and sinter, deposited after the mineralizing event. Below 60 feet, the drill hole intercepted volcanic rocks (moderately welded multi-lithic rhyolite tuff), identical to host litholigies mineralized at the Main Target, suggesting the unaltered volcanic sediments and sinter are not as thick as had previously been expected. Also of interest, the hole was oxidized to total depth, so any mineralization found should be heap leachable. Further drilling is planned to explore for the possible faulted off portion of the Main resource.

At January 31, 2013, the Company had $60,887 cash on hand, and working capital deficit of $11,774. As such, the Company will require substantial additional financing in the near future in order to meet current obligations and to continue our operations. Currently, Star Gold Corp. does not have any financing arrangements in place and there are no assurances that it will be able to obtain sufficient financing on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all.

Due to the lack of operating history and 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, 2012 that there currently exists substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Management believes it can source additional capital in the investment markets in the coming months and years. The Company may also consider other sources of funding, including potential mergers or farm-out a portion of its exploration properties.

The Company has closed on a private placement of its debentures and warrants. The placement consisted of issuing $250,000 in convertible debentures and warrants. The drilling program discussed above was made possible due to the proceeds from this tranche of the Placement. For more information on the Placement please review the Company’s report on Form 8-K filed on June 19, 2012. The report is available for review at www.sec.gov.

Future liquidity and capital requirements depend on many factors including timing, cost and progress of the Company's exploration efforts. The Company will consider additional public offerings, private placement, mergers or debt instruments.

Additional financing will be required in the future to complete planned exploration projections and expand operations to the production stage. The Company is unsure whether additional financing will be available at the time needed or at on acceptable terms, if at all. If the Company is unable to raise additional financing when necessary, it may have to delay exploration efforts or property acquisitions, or be forced to cease operations. Collaborative arrangements may require the Company to relinquish rights to certain of its mining claims.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company has earned no revenue from operations in 2013 or 2012 and does not anticipate earning any revenues in the foreseeable future. Star Gold Corp. is an exploration stage company and presently is seeking other business opportunities.

Total expenses for the three months ended January 31, 2013 of $356,629 increased $75,594 from total expenses of $281,035 for the comparable period ended January 31, 2012 primarily as a result of additional non-cash stock option expense of $155,083 recognized during the three months ended January 31, 2013.

Exploration and consulting expense for the three months ended January 31, 2013 was $110,379 a decrease of $16,749 over the three months ended January 31, 2012 expense of $127,128. The Company incurred consulting expenses totaling $100,346 for the three months ended January 31, 2013, the bulk of which was related to the preparation of a technical report related to the Company’s Longstreet property. As well, in the prior year, the Company initiated a drilling program at its Longstreet property during the three months ended January 31, 2012, whereas the Company completed the majority of its drilling at Longstreet prior to the quarter ended January 31, 2013, during the most recently concluded drilling season. The Company engaged consultants to prepare an updated technical report on the Longstreet property in the amount of

Management and administrative expenses for the three months ended January 31, 2013 increased $138,804 to $205,846 compared to 2012 expense of $67,042, of which $155,083 of the increase is associated with stock option expense.

General administrative and insurance expense increased $8,507 as a result of the Company acquiring director’s liability, errors and omissions coverage. The Company entered into Executive Compensation agreements with its Chairman, President/Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. However, the Company’s President/CEO, Chief Financial Officer and Chairman agreed to forego compensation previously accrued to them to conserve the Company’s cash and redeploy into additional metallurgical and exploration activities in the upcoming quarter. This forbearance resulted in a reduction of total management and administrative expenses of $135,000 during the three months ended January 31, 2013.

Certain Board members are also compensated on a per diem consulting rate to verify and assess technical information provided by outside consultants.

Legal and professional fees decreased for the three months ended January 31, 2013 from the three months ended January 31, 2012. The decrease in total expense results primarily from non-recurring professional services during the three months ended January 31, 2012. The Company conducted a reverse stock split and convertible debenture offering which resulted in significant legal and professional fees for the three months ended January 31, 2012. The Company did not incur those expenses in the quarter ended January 31, 2013.

Investor relations expense has decreased $35,088 to $23,918 for the three months ended January 31, 2013, compared to $59,006 for the three months ended January 31, 2012. Management engaged an investor relations firm during the quarter ended January 31, 2013 and for the foreseeable future thereafter to help improve liquidity and market awareness.

Management expects an legal and professional fees to remain consistent through the remainder of the fiscal year.

		Net increase (decrease) in cash during period	$	(165,053)	$	128,637

The Company decreased total assets to $471,304 at January 31, 2013 compared to $707,749 at April 30, 2012, primarily as a result of cash expenditures related to exploration activities on the Longstreet Property.

Mining Interests (Note 4) increased from $300,999 at April 30, 2012 to $362,999. Prepaid expenses decreased from $133,554 at April 30, 2012 to $2,613 at January 31, 2013 due to deposits required on exploration activities at the Longstreet Property being utilized for exploration activities at the property and utilization of a legal retainer during the fiscal year to date.

At January 31, 2013, the Company had a working capital deficit of $11,774 primarily as a result of a reduction of $92,424 in prepaid drilling expense.

The Company utilized $41,000 in cash from Investing Activities on certain annual lease payments on capitalized mineral assets at its Longstreet, Jet and Excalibur projects for the three months ended January 31, 2013 per the terms of Property Option Agreement described in Note 3 of the Financial Statements. The Company is in compliance with all obligations of the Property Option Agreements.

As of January 31, 2013, the Company had cash of $60,887. Since inception, the sources of the Company’s financing have been through offerings of its equity securities and through debt financing. Star Gold Corp. has not attained profitable operations and its ability to pursue any future plan of operation is dependent upon our ability to obtain financing.

Star Gold Corp. anticipates continuing to rely on offerings of its debt and/or equity securities in order to continue to fund business operations. Issuances of additional equity securities will result in dilution to the Company's existing stockholders. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete any additional offerings of its securities or that it will be able arrange for other financing to fund its planned business activities.

Disruptions in the credit and financial markets over the past several years have had a material adverse impact on a number of financial institutions and have limited access to capital and credit for many companies. While access to capital has improved recently, these disruptions could, among other things, make it more difficult for the Company to obtain, or increase the cost of obtaining, capital and financing for operations. Access to additional capital may not be available to terms acceptable to the Company or at all.

The audit opinion and Notes that accompany the Company's financial statements for the year ended April 30, 2012, disclose a 'going concern' qualification to the Company's ability to continue in business. The financial statements for the period then ended have been prepared under the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern. Such assumption contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the financial statements for the year ended April 30, 2012, the Company incurred losses and negative cash flows from operating activities for the year then ended, and at April 30, 2012, did not have sufficient cash reserves to cover normal operating activities for the following twelve months. These factors raise substantial doubts about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The Company's 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 as may be required, or ultimately to attain profitability. Potential sources of cash, or relief of demand for cash, include additional external debt, the sale of shares of the Company's stock or alternative methods such as mergers or sale of the Company's assets. No assurances can be given, however, that the Company will be able to obtain any of these potential sources of cash. The Company currently requires additional cash funding from outside sources to sustain existing operations and to meet current obligations and ongoing capital requirements.

The Company plans for the long term continuation as a going concern include financing future operations through sales of our common stock and/or debt and the eventual profitable exploitation of the Company's mining properties. These plans may also, at some future point, include the formation of mining joint ventures with senior mining company partners on specific mineral properties whereby the joint venture partner would provide the necessary financing in return for equity in the property.
