NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JANUARY 31, 2016

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, silver and other base metal-bearing properties in Nevada.

The Company's main business consists of assembling and/or acquiring land packages and mining claims the Company believes have potential mining reserves, and expending capital to explore these claims by drilling, geophysical work or other exploration work deemed necessary. The business is a high risk business as there is no guarantee that the Company's exploration work will ultimately discover or produce any economically viable minerals.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in understanding the financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. The accompanying 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, the financial statements 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 our 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 and nine month periods ended January 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending April 30, 2016. All amounts presented are in U.S. dollars. 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, 2015.

Going Concern

As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred operating losses since inception. As of January 31, 2016, the Company has limited financial resources with which to achieve the objectives and obtain profitability and positive cash flows. As shown in the accompanying balance sheets and statements of operations, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $9,262,957 and as of that date the Company's working capital deficit was $36,087. Achievement of the Company's objectives will be dependent upon the ability to obtain additional financing, to locate profitable energy properties and generate revenue from current and planned business operations, and control costs. The Company plans to fund its future operations by joint venturing, obtaining additional financing from investors, and/or lenders, and attaining additional commercial production. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve these objectives, therefore substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern exists. The financial statements do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability of recorded assets nor the implications of associated bankruptcy costs should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. In the event the Company is unable to fulfill the annual exploration expenditures as provided for in each respective Property Option Agreement (Note 4), the Company will default on the agreement(s) and surrender its right to future claims on the respective property.

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.

New Accounting Pronouncement

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15—Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern. The guidance requires an entity’s management to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or

STAR GOLD CORP.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JANUARY 31, 2016

within one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued when applicable). If conditions or events exist that raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, the guidance requires disclosure in the financial statements. The guidance will be effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the new standard and its impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

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 exploration permits.

Fair Value Measures

ASC Topic 820 "Fair Value Measurements" ("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 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.

Mining Interests and Mineral Exploration Expenditures

Exploration costs are expensed in the period in which they occur. The Company capitalizes costs for acquiring and leasing mining properties and expenses costs to maintain mineral rights as incurred. Should a property reach the production stage, these capitalized costs would be amortized using the units-of-production method on the basis of periodic estimates of ore reserves. Mining interests are periodically assessed for impairment of value, and any subsequent losses are charged to operations at the time of impairment. If a property is abandoned or sold, its capitalized costs are charged to operations.

Equipment

Equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation of equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which ranges from three to seven years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Significant improvements are capitalized and depreciated over the useful life of the assets. Gains or losses on disposition or retirement of property and equipment are recognized in operating expenses.

Reclamation and Remediation

The Company's operations are subject to standards for mine reclamation that have been established by various governmental agencies. In the period in which the Company incurs a contractual obligation for the retirement of tangible long-lived assets, the Company will record the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability. A corresponding asset will also be recorded and depreciated over the life of the asset. After the initial measurement of an asset retirement obligation, the liability will be adjusted at the end of each

STAR GOLD CORP.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JANUARY 31, 2016

reporting period to reflect changes in the estimated future cash flows underlying the obligation. To date, the Company has not incurred any contractual obligation requiring recording either a liability or associated asset.

Impaired Asset Policy

The Company periodically reviews its long-lived assets to determine if any events or changes in circumstances have transpired which indicate that the carrying value of its assets may not be recoverable. The Company determines impairment by comparing the undiscounted net 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.

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 and warrants.

The dilutive effect of convertible and outstanding securities as of January 31, 2016 and 2015, would be as follows:


	January 31, 2016		January 31, 2015
Stock options		3,083,667		3,597,000
Warrants		5,855,400		1,614,400
TOTAL POSSIBLE DILUTION		8,939,067		5,211,400

At January 31, 2016 and January 31, 2015, respectively, the effect of the Company's outstanding options and common stock equivalents would have been anti-dilutive.

Income Taxes

The Company recognizes provision for income tax using the liability method. Deferred income tax liabilities or assets at the end of each period are determined using the tax rates 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– PREPAID EXPENSES

The following is a summary of the Company’s prepaid expenses at January 31, 2016 and April 30, 2015:

The Longstreet Property

On December 10, 2014, the Longstreet Property Option Agreement was amended revising the required expenditures and annual stock option obligation.

Under terms of the agreement, for the year ended April 30, 2015, the Company paid $56,000 and issued options to purchase 25,000 shares of common stock with fair value of $3,000 (Note 6). The Company also purchased $9,000 of additional mining interest related to the Clifford claims on the Longstreet property during the year ended April 30, 2015. The Company is obligated to pay $12,000 annually on owners advance royalty payments related to the Clifford claims. For the nine months ended January 31, 2016, the Company purchased $12,000 of additional mining interest on the Longstreet property related to the Clifford claims.

On January 5, 2016, the Longstreet Property Option Agreement was further amended revising the required expenditures and annual stock option obligation. All allowable expenditures in excess of the required annual expenditures shall be carried-over to the subsequent year. The Company is in compliance with all provisions of the Longstreet Property Option Agreement as amended.

For the three months ended January 31, 2016, the Company made an annual required payment to the optioner of $20,000 which is included in “Equipment and Mining Interest”.

The schedule of annual payments, minimum expenditures and number of stock options to be issued pursuant to the amended Longstreet Property Option Agreement of January 5, 2016, is as follows:

Excalibur and Jet Properties

On June 30, 2015, the Company elected to terminate the Property Option Agreements on the Excalibur and Jet properties. The Company impaired the Excalibur and Jet properties at April 30, 2015 and subsequently gave notice of cancellation on the properties. The Company expects to focus capital resources on advancing the Longstreet property and therefore decided to return the Jet and

STAR GOLD CORP.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Excalibur properties to the underlying owner before any further exploration expenditures were due. Under the terms of the original agreements, the Company is responsible for claims payments on the Excalibur and Jet properties one year in advance of which the Company has charged operations $8,945 for the nine months ended January 31, 2016. There are no liabilities or future obligations to the Company on either the Jet or Excalibur properties.

NOTE 5 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

On or about June 30, 2015, the Company entered into a Lease Termination Agreement with Marlin Properties Management, LLC an entity owned by the spouse of the Company’s Chairman of the Board of Directors. The Termination Agreement was effective as of June 1, 2015 and relieves the Company of all obligations under the terms of the lease after that date. For the three months ended January 31, 2016 and 2015, $Nil and $8,558, respectively, was paid to the related entity inclusive of the Company’s pro-rata share of common area expenses.

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.

Star Gold Corp. currently leases with an option to acquire unpatented mining claims located in the State of Nevada and known as the Longstreet Property. The Longstreet Property comprises 125 mineral claims (75 original optioned claims, of which 70 are unpatented staked claims and five claims acquired from local ranchers (Roy Clifford et al)), as well as 50 recently staked claims by Star Gold, covering a total area of approximately 2,500 acres (1,012 ha). The Longstreet property is at an intermediate stage of exploration.

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 an exploration stage mineral company with no producing mines. Mineral exploration is essentially a research activity that does not produce a product. 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.

The Company will perform basic geological work to identify specific drill targets on the properties, and then collect subsurface samples by drilling to confirm the presence of mineralization (the presence of economic minerals in a specific area or geological formation). The Company may enter into joint venture agreements with other companies to fund further exploration and/or development work. It is the Company’s plan to focus on assembling a high quality group of mid-stage mineral (gold and silver) exploration prospects, using the experience and contacts of the management group. By such prospects, the Company means properties that have been previously identified by third parties, including prior owners such as exploration companies, as mineral prospects with potential for economic mineralization. Often these properties have been sampled, mapped and sometimes drilled, usually with indefinite results. Accordingly, such acquired projects will have either prior exploration history or will have strong similarity to a recognized geologic ore deposit model. Geographic emphasis will be place on the western United States.

The geologic potential and ore deposit models have been defined and specific drill targets identified on the majority of the Company’s properties. The Company’s property evaluation process involves using basic geologic fieldwork to perform an initial evaluation of a property. If the evaluation is positive, the Company seeks to acquire, either by staking unpatented mining claims on open public domain, or by leasing the property from the owner of private property or the owner of unpatented claims. Once acquired, the Company then typically makes a more detailed evaluation of the property. This detailed evaluation involves expenditures for exploration work which may include rock and soil sampling, geologic mapping, geophysics, trenching, drilling or other means to determine if economic mineralization is present on the property.

Portions of the Company’s mining properties are owned by third parties and leased to Star Gold as outlined in the following table:

Annual lease payments totaling $247,000, annual exploration expenditures totaling $1.75m, and 185,000 shares due through 2020.

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 and also for equipment and labor related to exploration and development of 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 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. Star Gold Corp. does not currently own title to any real property.

Employees

The Company has no employees other than its executive officers as of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-Q. Star Gold Corp. conducts business largely through independent contractor agreements with consultants.

Research and Development Expenditures

The Company has not incurred any research expenditures since incorporation.

Reports to Security Holders

The Registrant does not issue annual or quarterly reports to security holders other than the annual Form 10-K and quarterly Forms 10-Q as electronically filed with the SEC. Electronically filed reports may be accessed at www.sec.gov. Interested parties also may read and copy any materials filed with the SEC at the SEC’s Public Reference Room at 450 Fifth Street NW, Washington, DC 20549. Information may be obtained on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at (800) SEC-0330.

PLAN OF OPERATION

The financial condition of the Company was positive during Fiscal 2015 and the metals commodity markets were unfavorable for most of the year but with little impact as Star Gold is in the exploration stage.

In the past year the Company completed the following:

A detailed scoping study outlining the potential cash costs and capital required to build a mine at Longstreet property.

A small drill program of approximately 12 holes (3,500 feet) to better define the potential of the eastern side of the Main deposit at the Longstreet Property.

A formal Star Gold Corp board decision to proceed with the studies necessary to allow a mine permit to be issued at Longstreet.

Meeting with United States Forest Service (“USFS”) and Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) and other stakeholders as to an agreed pathway to proceed through to an environmental impact study.

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

Begin a collection of data for preparation of a Baseline Study as required by the USFS and BLM. This entails studies of fauna and flora, metallurgic studies, cultural resource studies and preliminary engineering.

Drilling for water and study of water sufficiency for mining at the Main Deposit zone on Longstreet.

With the exception of hydrology related drilling, the Company does not intend to drill further at Longstreet deposit until permitting has been completed.

The preliminary budget for Fiscal year ending April 30, 2017:


STAR GOLD CORP. – LONGSTREET Au-Ag PROJECT, NEVADA
Environmental impact/Plan of Operations	$	180,000
Hydrogeologic work		150,000
Preliminary engineering and mapping		72,000
Permit fees		45,000
Geo-chemistry		40,000
Cultural resource review		35,000
Flaura and fauna follow-up		3,000
Project management		51,500
Contingency/follow-up		47,000
Total	$	623,500

The preliminary budget is contingent on securing additional financing.

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, joint ventures and/or farm-out a portion of its exploration properties.

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 all necessary steps to apply for a final permit. Although the Company believes it will be able to source additional financing there are no guarantees any needed financing will be available at the time needed or 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 revenues from operations in 2016 or 2015 and does not anticipate earning any revenues, from operations, in the foreseeable future. Star Gold Corp. is an exploration stage company and presently is seeking additional business opportunities.

Mineral exploration expense for the three months ended January 31, 2016 was $35,717, a decrease of $98,931 over the three months ended January 31, 2015 expense of $134,648. Mineral exploration expensed for the nine months ended January 31, 2016 was $235,402, a decrease of $105,177 from the nine months ended January 31, 2015 expense of $340,579. During the three and nine months ended January 31, 2016, the Company engaged technical consultants, engineers and biologists to complete the environmental and permitting phase on the Longstreet project. Professional engineering services for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2016 included a site visit to the Longstreet project and preparation of a memorandum of understanding between the Company and various technical consultants as to the scope of the engagement. For the three and nine months ended January 31, 2015, the Company conducted significantly more drilling and fieldwork and associated geochemical analysis which accounted for the year over year variance.

The emphasis on exploration expense in the current year is on conducting environmental and engineering work geared toward permitting of an open pit heap leach pad operation at Longstreet. Consequently, the Company anticipates limited drilling and field work during the remainder of the fiscal year and greater capital resource allocation toward environmental and permitting activities.

The Company total assets decreased to $361,804 at January 31, 2016 compared to $395,746 at April 30, 2015, primarily as a result of a decrease in cash balance and prepaid exploration expenses.

Equipment and mining interest, net of depreciation increased from $288,499 at April 30, 2015 to $321,999 at January 31, 2016 as a result of the purchase of additional mining interests in thee Clifford claims at the Longstreet Property. Prepaid expenses decreased from $70,837 at April 30, 2015 to $5,658 at January 31, 2016 as prepaid deposits on environmental and permitting activities at the Longstreet Property were utilized during the three months then ended.

At January 31, 2016, the Company had a working capital deficit of $36,087 primarily related outstanding payables and accrued liabilities. The Company is currently seeking additional capital in the form of private placement investment.

The Company is in compliance with all obligations of the Longstreet Property Option Agreement including required cumulative exploration expenditures. During the three months ended, the Company and the optioner entered into an amendment to the Longstreet Property Option Agreement which adjusted the payment schedule and timing of minimum expenditures required on the project.

As of January 31, 2016, the Company had cash of $7,146. Since inception, the sources of the Company’s financing have been through offerings of its equity and debt securities. Star Gold Corp. has not attained profitable operations and its ability to pursue any future plan of operation is likely dependent upon the Company’s ability to obtain additional financing in the future.

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 may result in dilution to the Company's then existing stockholders. The issuance of additional debt securities, instead of equity securities, will likely result in the reduction of the amount of cash available to the Company to utilize in its ongoing operations and may also result in dilution to the Company’s then existing stockholders. There are no assurances that the Company will be able to complete any additional offerings of its securities or that it will be able arrange for any other type of financing to fund its ongoing 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. The prices for gold, silver and other base metals have also recently been subject to fluctuations which have had a material adverse impact on mining related companies’ ability to raise capital. 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 Company's continuation as a going concern or ultimately to attain profitability 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 and to further develop its properties. 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 joint ventures, mergers or sale(s) 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’s plans for its 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 an interest in the Company’s properties and/or any minerals it may produce in the future.
