Any statements about our business, financial results, financial condition and operations contained in this Annual Report that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, the words believes, anticipates, expects, intends, projects, or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Our actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including the risk factors described below and elsewhere in this report. We undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason, except as required by law, even as new information becomes available or other events occur in the future.
Item 1. Description of Business.
In this report, the terms Yukon Gold, Company, we, us and our refer to Yukon Gold Corporation, Inc. The term common stock refers to the Companys common stock, par value $0.0001 per share.
Yukon Gold is an exploration stage mining company. Our objective is to explore and, if warranted and feasible, to develop mineralized material on the mineral claims located in the Mayo Mining District of Yukon, Canada. We hold these claims through our wholly owned subsidiary, Yukon Gold Corp., an Ontario, Canada Corporation (YGC). All of our exploration activities are undertaken through YGC. Our mineral claims are referred to herein collectively as the Marg Property. We cannot ascertain at this time whether a commercially viable mineral resource exists on the Marg Property.
Subsequent to the period covered by this annual report, on May 21, 2009, the Company sold all of its rights to the Mount Hinton Property, as further described in Note 19 in the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended April 30, 2009 included in this report.
RISK FACTORS
1. |
WE HAVE VERY LIMITED WORKING CAPITAL AND MAY NOT BE ABLE TO CONTINUE TO COMPLY WITH APPLICABLE REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS AND THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE EXCHANGES ON WHICH OUR SHARES TRADE |
Yukon Gold does not have sufficient working capital to maintain its ongoing operations, to prepare and file regular reports required to meet the disclosure requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission or the Ontario Securities Commission or to meet the requirements of the exchanges on which our stock trades. We run the risk of being de-listed on all exchanges in which our stock currently trades.
On August 26, 2009, the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX"), announced that it would de-list the Companys common shares, effective at the close of the market on September 25, 2009. The decision was based upon the Companys failure to meet multiple listing requirements of TSX. The Company is appealing this decision
1
2. |
WE MAY HAVE TO PURCHASE ADDITION MINERAL PROPERTIES TO SECURE FINANCNG AND REMAIN VIABLE |
Yukon Gold must immediately secure additional financing to remain viable. Management of Yukon Gold believes that we must identify and purchase new mineral properties in order to obtain such financing.
3. |
WE DO NOT HAVE AN OPERATING BUSINESS. |
Yukon Gold has rights in certain mineral claims located in Yukon, Canada. To date we have done limited exploration of the property covered by our mineral claims. We do not have a mine or a mining business of any kind. There is no assurance that we will develop an operating business in the future.
4. |
WE HAVE NO SOURCE OF OPERATING REVENUE AND EXPECT TO INCUR SIGNIFICANT EXPENSES BEFORE ESTABLISHING AN OPERATING COMPANY, IF WE ARE ABLE TO ESTABLISH AN OPERATING COMPANY AT ALL. |
Currently, we have no source of revenue, we do not have working capital to complete our exploration programs (including feasibility studies) and we do not have any commitments to obtain additional financing. We have no operating history upon which an evaluation of our future success or failure can be made. Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow is dependent upon:
- our ability to raise the capital necessary to conduct this exploration and preserve our interest in these mineral claims;
- our ability to raise capital to develop the Marg Property, establish a mining operation, and operate this mine in a profitable manner; and.
- our ability to raise capital to purchase additional properties that may make our business more attractive to investors in exploration stage mining companies.
Failure to raise the necessary capital to continue exploration and development could cause us to go out of business.
5. |
GOING CONCERN QUALIFICATION. |
The Company has included a going concern qualification in the Consolidated Financial Statements to the effect that we are an exploration stage company and have no established sources of revenue. In the event that we are unable to raise additional capital and/or locate mineral resources, as to which in each case there can be no assurance, we may not be able to continue our operations. In addition, the existence of the going concern qualification in our auditors report may make it more difficult for us to obtain additional financing. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, you may lose all or part of your investment.
6. |
THERE ARE PENNY STOCK SECURITIES LAW CONSIDERATIONS THAT COULD LIMIT YOUR ABILITY TO SELL YOUR SHARES. |
Our common stock is considered a "penny stock" and the sale of our stock by you will be subject to the "penny stock rules" of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The penny stock rules require broker-dealers to take steps before making any penny stock trades in customer accounts. As a result, our shares could be illiquid and there could be delays in the trading of our stock which would negatively affect your ability to sell your shares and could negatively affect the trading price of your shares.
7. |
OUR BUSINESS IS SUBJECT TO CURRENCY RISKS. |
The Company conducts the majority of its business activities in Canadian dollars. Consequently, the Company is subject to gains or losses due to fluctuations in Canadian currency relative to the US dollar.

Item 2. Description of Property
The Marg Property
The Marg Property consists of 402 contiguous mineral claims covering approximately 20,000 acres. Access to the claim group is possible either by helicopter, based in Mayo, Yukon Territory, Canada, located approximately 80 km to the southwest or by small aircraft to a small airstrip located near the Marg deposit. A 50 kilometer winter road from Keno City to the property boundary was completed in 1997. The camp site on the property provides accommodation for up to 12 people. Presently the hydroelectric power grid terminates at Keno City some 50km to the southwest and water is available from the Keno Ladue River, which flows through the property.
The rock formations of the Marg property and the immediate area are divided into four major units which are repeated by southeast dipping thrust faults. The two major faults are the Tombstone Thrust and the Robert Service Thrust. One thrust panel contains the Marg Zone mineralization. Within the thrust panel he rocks within the thrust sheets appear to be tabular. The thrust panel containing the Marg Zone is composed of repeated sequences of quartzite, quartz-sericite phyllite and black graphite phyllite. The quartz-sericite phyllite is probably metamorphosed equivalents of volcanic rocks and metasedimentary rocks. The graphite phyllite is the metamorphosed equivalent of a black shale.
Our claims, held in the name of our wholly owned subsidiary Yukon Gold Corp, are registered in the Mining Recorders Office in the Mayo Mining District of the Yukon Territory and give us the right to explore and mine minerals from the property covered by the claims. These claims are tabulated below:

Marg Acquisition Agreement
The following is a description of the Companys acquisition of the Marg property. During the period covered by this report, the Company completed its acquisition of the Marg property and currently owns it outright.
In March of 2005, our wholly owned Canadian subsidiary, YGC, acquired from Medallion Capital Corp. (Medallion) all of Medallion's rights to purchase and develop the Marg Property which consists of 402 contiguous mineral claims covering approximately 20,000 acres located in the central area of Yukon, Canada. The price paid by the Company was Medallion's cost to acquire the interest. Medallion is owned and controlled by a former director of the Company, Stafford Kelley. The rights acquired by YGC arise under a Property Purchase Agreement between Medallion and Atna Resources Ltd. (Atna), hereinafter referred to as the Marg Acquisition Agreement. Under the terms of the Marg Acquisition Agreement the Company paid $119,189 (CDN$150,000) cash and 133,333 common shares as a down payment. The Company made payments under the Marg Acquisition Agreement of $43,406 (CDN$50,000) cash and an additional 133,333 common shares of the Company on December 12, 2005; $86,805 (CDN$100,000) cash and an additional 133,334 common shares of the Company on December 12, 2006 and $98,697 (CDN$100,000) in cash on December 12, 2007. The Company agreed to make subsequent payments under the Agreement of: $167,645 (CDN$200,000) in cash and/or common shares of the Company (or some combination thereof to be determined) on or before December 12, 2008. On December 4, 2008 the Company and Atna Resources Ltd. (Atna) entered into a letter agreement (the Amendment Agreement) amending the purchase agreement by which the Company acquired its Marg Property (the Marg Acquisition Agreement). Under the terms of the Marg Acquisition Agreement the Company was required to pay to Atna $167,645 (CDN$200,000) (in cash or shares of the Companys common stock) on December 12, 2008. In lieu of making such payment, the Amendment Agreement permitted the Company to pay Atna $19,980 (CDN$25,000) in cash on December 12, 2008 (paid) and $188,600 (CDN$225,000) (payable in cash or shares of the Companys common stock) on April 30, 2009. On April 30, 2009, the Company issued to Atna 6,838,906 common shares which represent $188,600 (CDN$225,000), whereby the common shares were valued at $0.0276 (CDN $0.0329) each. Upon the commencement of commercial production at the Marg Property, the Company will pay to Atna $838,223 (CDN$1,000,000) in cash and/or common shares of the Company, or some combination thereof to be determined.

Our expenditures for exploration on the Marg Property are as follows: On May 16, 2006 the Company accepted a proposed work program, budget and cash call schedule for the Marg Property totaling $1,674,866 (CDN$1,872,500) for the 2006 Work Program. On May 15, 2006 the Company paid $199,016 (CDN$222,500) to the contractor, on June 1, 2006 the Company paid $536,673 (CDN$600,000) to the contractor, and on July 20, 2006 the Company paid $357,782 (CDN$400,000) to the contractor. The fourth payment of $357,782 (CDN$400,000) was paid on August 20, 2006 and the fifth payment of $223,613 (CDN$250,000) paid on September 20, 2006. On April 2, 2007 the Company accepted a proposed work program, budget and cash call schedule for the Marg project totaling $2,100,528 (CDN$2,281,880) for the 2007 Work Program. The Company had approximately $515,561(CDN$550,000) on deposit left over from the 2006 cash call schedule. On May 15, 2007 the Company paid $703,037 (CDN$750,000), on June 15, 2007 the Company paid $703,037 (CDN$750,000), and on July 15, 2007 the Company paid $703,037 (CDN$750,000) being three of the four cash call payments. The fourth and final payment of $402,244 (CDN$380,000) was paid on August 15, 2007. On August 31, 2007 the Company re-allocated $537,864 (CDN$508,120), being the balance of the third cash call payment for the Mount Hinton 2007 Work Program from cash call funds previously allocated to the Marg Project. These re-allocated funds were not needed for the Marg Project. As of January 23, 2008, unused funds of $388,524 (CDN$390,000) were refunded by our work program manager to the Company.
Exploration at Marg Property
The Marg property has had an extensive exploration history with numerous owners and work programs. The area was first staked in 1965 to follow-up anomalous results in a government stream sediment survey. The initial exploration was directed towards finding silver bearing veins but when none were discovered the claims were allowed to lapse. In 1982 the ground was re-staked by a consortium looking for SEDEX style lead-zinc mineralization and this resulted in the discovery of the Marg mineralization. In the following years, exploration consisted of geochemical and geophysical surveying, geological mapping, hand trenching and diamond drilling which progressively expanded the limits of the known mineralization. This work was done by various companies who entered into agreements to explore the ground or relinquish their interests. To date a total of 34,203 meters of diamond drilling has been performed on the Marg property.
Yukon Gold started its exploration efforts in 2005 when 1,184.6 meters were drilled in four holes. Exploration continued in 2006 and 2007 when nine holes totaling 2,986 meters and 3,307 were drilled respectively. The programs were managed by Archer Cathro & Associates (1981) and were designed to test the down-dip extent of the mineralization. During 2008 the company completed 3,674 metres of drilling in ten holes.

Three estimates on the Marg mineralization that are compliant with Canadian National Instrument No. 43-101 (NI 43-101) have been prepared. The first completed by P. Holbek (2005) used the polygonal method the in the second by G. Giroux and R. Carne (2007) used a block model method and the third by Scott Wilson RPA (2008) used a block model method. The Giroux and Carne estimate was based on copper equivalent cutoffs while the Holbek and Scott Wilson RPA estimates were based on NSR values as indicated. The Scott Wilson RPA estimate incorporated all drilling to the end of 2007 The mineralization is contained in four zones with strike lengths from 650 metres to 1,200 metres. Results of these two estimates are tabulated below:

The latest estimate, prepared by Scott Wilson RPA in July of 2008 was based on the following parameters:
1. The classification of mineral
resources follows CIM Definition Standards for Indicated Resources.
2.
Mineral resources have been estimated by kriging into blocks constrained by
wireframed mineral lenses.
3. NSR values are based on assumed metallurgical
recoveries of 60% for Cu, 80% for Zn, and 60% for Pb; and on metal prices of
US$2.50 for Cu, US$0.90 for Zn, US$0.70 for Pb, US$13.50 for Ag and US$800 for
Au; and foreign exchange of C$1.00=US$ 0.90.
We note that the terms indicated resources and resources (used above) refer to a standard that is recognized in Canada but is not accepted by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) for disclosure purposes. Generally, an indicated or inferred estimate does not rise to the level of certainty required by SEC guidelines. A resource should not be confused with a reserve, which has been established using stricter guidelines and may carry an estimate of dollar value.
All previous operators employed Chemex Labs in Vancouver for their analytical work. In Yukon Golds 2006 to 2007 programs, all core sampling, collection of geotechnical data and core logging was done on site. Mineralized intervals were split and one-half was sent to ALS Chemex Labs, North Vancouver, B.C. Blank samples consisting of barren limestone were routinely inserted into the sample stream. Duplicate samples collected by quartering core were inserted into the sample stream. Prepared pulps and coarse rejects were sent as check samples to Acme Analytical Laboratories Ltd. in Vancouver. Reanalysis for results greater than 1% copper, lead or zinc were routinely carried out. The drill core is stored on the property at the camp location. The 2008 program also used the ALS Chemex Laboratories. Standard basemetal samples and blank samples were included with all shipments to the laboratory and duplicate, quarter-core samples were forwarded to G&T Metallurgical Services Ltd, from all mineralized intervals in order to provide check assays
At the laboratory, core samples were weighed, dried and crushed to 70% minus 2 mm, before a 250 g split was taken and pulverized to better than 85% minus 75 microns. A 10 gram split of the pulverized fraction was dissolved in aqua regia and analyzed for 50 elements by a combination of ICPMS and ICPAES techniques. Over limit copper, lead, zinc and silver values were determined using atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). A 30 gram split was analyzed for gold with a fire assay preparation and AAS finish. ALS Chemex operates according to the guidelines set out in ISO/IEC Guide 25 "General requirements for the competence of calibration and testing laboratories" and the company is certified to ISO 9002 by KPMG in Canada and other countries. Duplicate analyses were performed by Acme Analytical Laboratories in Vancouver using a process similar to Chemex for drilling between 2005 and 2008 and by G&T Metallurgical Services Ltd for the 2008 drilling.

Though the property is without known mineral reserves, Yukon Gold believes that exploration potential within the Marg Property is good. Presently the hydroelectric power grid terminates at Keno City some 50km to the southwest and water is available from the Keno Ladue River which flows through the property.
During the summer of 2008, we undertook an exploration program at the Marg Property to extend the currently known mineralization, verify continuity of mineralization and provide samples for initial metallurgical test work. The drilling results of the nine holes drilled at the Marg Property in the summer of 2008 are generally consistent with the previous results from prior drilling programs reflected in the Companys mineral report. We continue to hit mineralized material to the west of known resources.
In November 2008, Yukon Gold announced the results of the 2008 diamond drill program The results of the drilling program are summarized below:

Again, the reader is cautioned that the terms indicated and inferred are not terms that are recognized by the SEC's guidelines for disclosure of mineral properties, however, they are recognized defined terms under Canadian disclosure guidelines. Generally, an indicated or inferred estimate does not rise to the level of certainty required by SEC guidelines. Also, the internal review was based on comparisons with proximate deposits and associated feasibility studies at then current metal prices, estimated trucking and shipping costs, industry treatment and refining costs, average metallurgical recoveries and concentrate grades from five VMS deposits. The internal review has not been analyzed by an independent Qualified Person and therefore the results of this review should not be relied upon. Yukon Gold believes that the internal review provides an indication of the potential of the Marg Deposit and is relevant to ongoing exploration.

Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans.
On October 28, 2003, we adopted the 2003 Stock Option Plan (the "2003 Plan") under which our officers, directors, consultants, advisors and employees may receive stock options. The aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the 2003 Plan is 5,000,000. Options granted under the 2003 Plan were either "incentive stock options", intended to qualify as such under the provisions of section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as from time to time amended (the "Code") or "unqualified stock options". The 2003 Plan is administered by the Board of Directors.
On May 23, 2005, Yukon Gold filed a registration statement on Form S-8 with the SEC pursuant to which it registered 3,300,000 shares of common stock reserved for issuance upon exercise of options granted pursuant to the 2003 Plan. On February 10, 2006 the board of directors adopted a policy of not accepting promissory notes from option holders as payment for the exercise of options.
The Company adopted a new Stock Option Plan at its shareholders meeting on January 19, 2007 (the 2006 Stock Option Plan). The Company cannot issue any further options under the 2003 Plan. The purpose of the 2006 Stock Option Plan is to develop and increase the interest of certain Eligible Participants (as defined below) in the growth and development of the Company by providing them with the opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company through the grant of options ("Stock Options") to acquire Shares.
Under the 2006 Stock Option Plan, Stock Options may be granted to Eligible Participants or to any registered savings plan established for the sole benefit of an Eligible Participant or any company which, during the term of an option, is wholly-owned by an Eligible Participant. The term Eligible Participant includes directors, senior officers and employees of the Company or an Affiliated Entity (as defined below) and any person engaged to provide services under a written contract for an initial, renewable or extended period of twelve months or more (a Consultant), other than services provided in relation to a distribution of securities, who spends or will spend a significant amount of time on the business and affairs of the Company and who is knowledgeable about the business and affairs of the Company. An Affiliated Entity means a person or company that is controlled by the Company.
17
The 2006 Stock Option Plan is administered by the board of directors of the Company. At the option of the board, it may be administered by a committee appointed by the board of directors for that purpose.
Upon adoption in 2006, the aggregate number of Shares which could be issued under the 2006 Stock Option Plan was limited to 2,000,000 Shares, then representing approximately 10.63% of the then currently issued and outstanding Shares. On March 18, 2008 at the 2008 Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders, the shareholders of the Company approved an amendment to the 2006 Stock Option Plan increasing the number of Shares reserved for issuance thereunder from 2,000,000 to 2,899,044, representing approximately 10% of the then issued and outstanding Shares. The 2006 Stock Option Plan was also amended to include a provision requiring shareholder approval for any future increase in the maximum number of Shares reserved for issuance thereunder.
Any Stock Option granted under the 2006 Stock Option Plan which has been exercised shall again be available for subsequent grant under the 2006 Stock Option Plan, effectively resulting in a re-loading of the number of Shares available for grant under the 2006 Stock Option Plan.
Any Shares subject to an option granted under the 2006 Stock Option Plan which for any reason is surrendered, cancelled or terminated or expires without having been exercised shall again be available for subsequent grant under the 2006 Stock Option Plan.
Options shall not be granted for a term exceeding ten years (or such shorter or longer period as is permitted by the TSX) (the Option Period).
On January 19, 2007, the shareholders of the Company approved, subject to regulatory approval, the extension of 2,064,000 options held by all current officers, directors, consultants and employees in the 2003 Stock Option Plan and the adding of an additional 2,000,000 common shares of stock to the 2006 Stock Option Plan. On March 18, 2008 at the 2008 Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders, the shareholders of the Company approved an amendment to the 2006 Stock Option Plan increasing the number of Shares reserved for issuance thereunder from 2,000,000 to 2,899,044, representing approximately 10% of the then issued and outstanding Shares. The TSX approved the 2006 Stock Option plan on March 9, 2007.

Item 6. Selected Financial Data
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis
This section should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes included in this report.
Discussion of Operations & Financial Condition Twelve months ended April 30, 2009
Yukon Gold has no source of revenue and we continue to operate at a loss. We expect our operating losses to continue for so long as we remain in an exploration stage and perhaps thereafter. As at April 30, 2009, we had accumulated losses of $14,906,422. These losses raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to emerge from the exploration stage and conduct mining operations is dependent, in large part, upon our raising additional equity financing.
As described in greater detail below, the Companys major endeavor over the year has been its effort to raise additional capital to meet its administrative expenses and pursue its exploration activities. The Company does not currently have sufficient working capital to continue as a reporting company in the United States and Canada. We are working urgently to obtain additional financing, which may entail the acquisition of additional properties in order to attract such financing.

Revenues
No revenue was generated by the Companys operations during the years ended April 30, 2009 and April 30, 2008.
Net Loss
The Companys expenses are reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations under the category of Operating Expenses. To meet the criteria of United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), all exploration and general and administrative costs related to projects are charged to operations in the year incurred.
The significant components of expense that have contributed to the total operating expense are discussed as follows:
(a) General and Administrative Expense
Included in operating expenses for the year ended April 30, 2009 is general and administrative expense of $987,536, as compared with $1,702,640 for the year ended April 30, 2008. General and administrative expense represents approximately 33% of the total operating expense for the year ended April 30, 2009 and approximately 34% of the total operating expense for the year ended April 30, 2008. General and administrative expense decreased by $715,104 in the current year, compared to the prior year. The decrease in this expense is mainly due to decrease in consulting fees to consultants for providing investor relations and related market advice services and a decrease in stock based compensation expense by $552,470.
Included in the operating expenses for the year ended April 30, 2009 (included as general and administration expense) is stock option compensation expense of $31,858 and compensation expense on issue of warrants for $17,813, as compared with stock option compensation expense of $584,328 and compensation expense on issue of warrants for $123,079 for the prior year ended April 30, 2008. These amounts have been calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, whereby the fair value of the stock options was determined at the time of grant of stock options to the Companys directors, officers and consultants, and expensed over the vesting term, in terms of the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
(b) Project Expense
Included in operating expenses for the year ended April 30, 2009 is project expenses of $1,907,891 as compared with $3,341,682 for the year ended April 30, 2008. Project expense is a significant expense and it represents approximately 63% of the total operating expense for the year ended April 30, 2009 and approximately 66% of the total operating expense for the year ended April 30, 2008. Project expense decreased by $1,433,791 in the current year, as compared to the prior year. The decrease in this expense is mainly due to the availability of limited funds for exploration and the Company not incurring any exploration expense on the Mount Hinton Property claims. All the exploration expense was incurred on the Marg property. In March of 2005, the Company acquired the rights to purchase 100% of the Marg Property. Under the terms of the Marg Acquisition Agreement the Company was required to pay to Atna $163,066 (CDN$200,000) (in cash or shares of the Companys common stock) on December 12, 2008. In lieu of making such payment, the Amendment Agreement permits the Company to pay Atna $19,980 (CDN$25,000) in cash on December 12, 2008 (paid) and $188,600 (CDN$225,000) (payable in cash or shares of the Companys common stock) on April 30, 2009. On April 30, 2009, the Company issued to Atna 6,838,906 common shares which represent $188,600 (CDN $225,000), whereby common shares were valued at $0.0276 (CDN $0.0329) each. This cash payment of $19,980 (CDN $25,000) and issue of Common stock valued at $188,600 (CDN $225,000) formed part of the project expenses. During the prior year ended April 30, 2008, the Company besides incurring exploration expenses on the Marg property, also made an additional payment of $98,697 (CDN $100,000) which formed part of project expenses.

Agreement with Hinton Syndicate Concerning our Former Mount Hinton Property
The following disclosure relates to our former property known as the Mount Hinton property. Our interest in the Mount Hinton property was sold on May 21, 2009.
On July 7, 2002 YGC, the Companys wholly owned subsidiary, entered into an option agreement with the Hinton Syndicate to acquire a 75% interest in the 273 unpatented mineral claims covering approximately 14,000 acres in the Mayo Mining District of Yukon, Canada. This agreement was replaced with a revised and amended agreement (the Hinton Option Agreement) dated July 7, 2005 which superseded the original agreement and amendments thereto. The new agreement was between the Company, its wholly owned subsidiary YGC and the Hinton Syndicate.
The Hinton Option Agreement pertained to an area of interest which included the area within ten kilometres of the outermost boundaries of the 273 mineral claims, which constituted our mineral properties. Either party to the Hinton Option Agreement could stake claims outside the 273 mineral claims, but each must notify the other party if such new claims were within the area of interest. The non-staking party could then elect to have the new claims included within the Hinton Option Agreement. As of December 11, 2006, there were an additional 24 claims staked, known as the Gram Claims which became subject to the Hinton Option Agreement. Subsequent to the year ended April 30, 2009, on May 21, 2009, Gram Claims 1-24 were conveyed by the Companys wholly owned subsidiary to a member of the Hinton Syndicate. On June 16, 2008 an additional 18 claims were staked (#25-#42), known as the Gram Claims, at a cost of $8,679 (CDN$8,887), which became subject to the Hinton Option Agreement. Subsequent to the year ended April 30, 2009, on May 5, 2009 the Company transferred all of its interest in Gram Claims 25-42 to a member of the Hinton Syndicate.
Subsequent to the year ended April 30, 2009, on May 21, 2009, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, YGC, sold its interest in the Mount Hinton Property to the Hinton Syndicate. All of the claims comprising the Mount Hinton Property were conveyed by the Companys subsidiary to a member of the Hinton Syndicate.
21
The Hinton Syndicate paid the Company (i) $104,778 (CDN$125,000) on May 21, 2009 and (ii) granted to the Companys subsidiary a 2% Net Smelter Royalty (an NSR) on the Mount Hinton Property claims. Such 2% NSR may be terminated at any time by payment to Yukon Gold of the following:
If the payment is made to Yukon Gold within
the 12- month anniversary of the Closing: |
$96,386 (CDN$115,000) |
If the payment is made to Yukon Gold after the 12-
month anniversary of the Closing but before the 24- month anniversary of the Closing: |
$117,351 (CDN$140,000) |
If the payment is made to Yukon Gold after
the 24- month anniversary of the Closing but before the 36- month anniversary of the Closing: |
$138,307 (CDN$165,000) |
If the payment is made to Yukon Gold after the 36-
month anniversary of the Closing but before the 48- month anniversary of the Closing: |
$159,262 (CDN$190,000) |
If the payment is made to Yukon Gold after
the 48- month anniversary of the Closing, it shall be increased by $20,956 (CDN$25,000) for each 12-month period following the 49-month anniversary of the Closing |
In addition, Yukon Golds subsidiary assigned its work permit to a member of the Hinton Syndicate and the Hinton Syndicate became responsible for any reclamation costs imposed by the government of Yukon in connection with the work permit. As of May 21, 2009, Yukon Gold and its subsidiary have no further interest or obligations with respect to the Mount Hinton Property.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations. This Statement replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. This Statement retains the fundamental requirements in Statement 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which Statement 141 called the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. This Statement also establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer: a) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree; b) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase and c) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) will apply prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after Companys fiscal year beginning May 1, 2009. The Company is currently assessing the impact of FAS 141(R).
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements. This Statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling (minority) interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 160 is effective for the Companys fiscal year beginning May 1, 2009. The Company is currently assessing the impact of FAS 160.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activitiesan amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (FAS 161). FAS 161 changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entitys financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. The guidance in FAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. This Statement encourages, but does not require, comparative disclosures for earlier periods at initial adoption. The Company is currently assessing the impact of FAS 161.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles" ("SFAS 162"). SFAS 162 is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP for nongovernmental entities. SFAS 162 is effective 60 days following the Securities and Exchange Commission's approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board auditing amendments to AU Section 411, "The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles." The Company does not expect SFAS 162 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2. This FSP amends SFAS 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, SFAS 124, Accounting for Certain Investments Held by Not-for-Profit Organizations, and EITF Issue No. 99-20, Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased Beneficial Interests and Beneficial Interests That Continue to Be Held by a Transferor in Securitized Financial Assets, to make the other-than-temporary impairments guidance more operational and to improve the presentation of other-than-temporary impairments in the financial statements.. This FSP provides increased disclosure about the credit and noncredit components of impaired debt securities that are not expected to be sold and also requires increased and more frequent disclosures regarding expected cash flows, credit losses, and an aging of securities with unrealized losses. Although this FSP does not result in a change in the carrying amount of debt securities, it does require that the portion of an other-than-temporary impairment not related to a credit loss for a held-to-maturity security be recognized in a new category of other comprehensive income and be amortized over the remaining life of the debt security as an increase in the carrying value of the security. This FSP shall be effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating this new FSP but does not believe that it will have a significant impact on the determination or reporting of the financial results.
26
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1). FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 require companies to disclose in interim financial statements the fair value of financial instruments within the scope of FASB Statement No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The fair-value information disclosed in the footnotes must be presented together with the related carrying amount, making it clear whether the fair value and carrying amount represent assets or liabilities and how the carrying amount relates to what is reported in the balance sheet. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 also requires that companies disclose the method or methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments and a discussion of changes, if any, in the method or methods and significant assumptions during the period. The FSP shall be applied prospectively and is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating this new FSP and the impact it will have on the determination or reporting of the financial results.
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165 "Subsequent Events" ("SFAS 165"). SFAS 165 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. SFAS 165 sets forth (1) The period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, (2) The circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements and (3) The disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. SFAS 165 is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 165 will have on its financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166 "Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140" ("SFAS 166"). SFAS 166 improves the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor's continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets. SFAS 166 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity's first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 166 will have on its financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167 "Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)" ("SFAS 167"). SFAS 167 improves financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities and to address (1) the effects on certain provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities", as a result of the elimination of the qualifying special-purpose entity concept in SFAS 166 and (2) constituent concerns about the application of certain key provisions of Interpretation 46(R), including those in which the accounting and disclosures under the Interpretation do not always provide timely and useful information about an enterprise's involvement in a variable interest entity. SFAS 167 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity's first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 167 will have on its financial statements.
27
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168 "The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles-a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162". The FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("Codification") will be the single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. SFAS 168 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. All existing accounting standards are superseded as described in SFAS 168. All other accounting literature not included in the Codification is non-authoritative. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 168 will have on its financial statements.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, particularly those related to the determination of the estimated Canadian exploration tax credit receivable and accrued liabilities. To the extent actual results differ from those estimates, our future results of operations may be affected. Besides this critical accounting policy on use of estimates, we believe the following critical accounting policy affects the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
Acquisition, Exploration and Evaluation Expenditures
The Company is an exploration stage mining company and has not yet realized any revenue from its operations. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties. Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred. Mineral property payments are capitalized only if the Company is able to allocate any economic value beyond proven and probable reserves. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs incurred to develop such property will be capitalized. For the purpose of preparing financial information, the Company is unable to allocate any economic value beyond proven and probable reserves and hence all property payments are considered to be impaired and accordingly written off to project expense. All costs associated with a property that has the potential to add to the Companys proven and probable reserves are expensed until a final feasibility study demonstrating the existence of proven and probable reserves is completed. No costs have been capitalized in the periods covered by these financial statements. Once capitalized, such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve.
Mineral property acquisition costs will also be capitalized in accordance with the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue 04-2 when management has determined that probable future benefits consisting of a contribution to future cash inflows have been identified and that adequate financial resources are available or are expected to be available as required to meet the terms of property acquisition and budgeted exploration and development expenditures. Mineral property payments are expensed as incurred if the criteria for capitalization is not met.
To date, mineral property exploration costs have been expensed as incurred. As of the date of these financial statements, the Company has incurred only property payments and exploration costs which have been expensed. To date the Company has not established any proven or probable reserves on its mineral properties.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
28
Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
See the financial statements and report of Schwartz Levitsky Feldman, LLP contained in this report.
Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
None.
Item 9A(T). Controls and Procedures
(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company's management, with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the Company, respectively, have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
(b) Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There have not been any changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the year ended April 30, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
Management's Report On Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Based on an evaluation as of the date of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-K, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, assessed the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-l5(e). Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC's rules and forms.
The management of Yukon Gold Corporation, Inc. is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule I3a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company's principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the company's board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and includes those policies and procedures that:
* |
Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; | |
* |
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and | |
* |
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce this risk.
29
In making its assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.
Inherent in small business is the pervasive problem of segregation of duties. Given that the Company has a small accounting department, segregation of duties cannot be completely accomplished at this time. Management has added compensating controls to effectively reduce and minimize the risk of a material misstatement in the Company's annual or interim financial statements.
Based on its assessment, management concluded that, as of April 30, 2009, the Company's internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.
Auditor Attestation
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the company to provide only management's report
Changes in Internal Controls
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended April 30, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Yukon Gold
Corporation, Inc.
(An Exploration Stage Company)
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Yukon Gold Corporation, Inc. as at April 30, 2009 and 2008 and the related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and stockholders equity (deficiency) for the years ended April 30, 2009 and 2008 and for the period from incorporation to 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 audits 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 financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Yukon Gold Corporation, Inc. as at 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 for the period from incorporation to April 30, 2009 in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles.
The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the companys internal controls over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company is an exploration stage mining company and has no established source of revenues. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plans regarding these matters are also described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Mining Company)
Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements
April 30, 2009 and April 30, 2008
(Amounts
expressed in US Dollars)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The audited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Yukon Gold Corporation, Inc. (the Company) and its wholly owned Canadian operating subsidiary, Yukon Gold Corp. (YGC). All material inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
2. GOING CONCERN
The Company's financial statements are presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has no source for operating revenue and expects to incur significant expenses before establishing operating revenue. Because of continuing operating losses, negative working capital, stockholders deficiency and cash outflows from operations, the Companys continuance as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain adequate financing and to reach profitable levels of operation. In the event that the Company is unable to raise additional capital, as to which there is no assurance, the Company will not be able to continue doing business. The Companys future success is dependent upon its continued ability to raise sufficient capital, not only to maintain its operating expenses, but to explore for reserves. There is no guarantee that such capital will be available on acceptable terms, if at all or if the Company will attain profitable levels of operation.
The Company is actively pursuing equity and short-term bridge loan financing, which may include financing backed by a pledge of some or all of the Companys exploration property assets. The Company also is simultaneously exploring opportunities to effect business combinations or joint ventures involving additional mining assets that may provide opportunities for greater long-term financing.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally acceptable accounting principles applicable to a going concern. Accordingly, they do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize its assets and liquidate its liabilities and commitments in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
3. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
The Company is an exploration stage mining company and has not yet realized any revenue from its operations. It is primarily engaged in acquisition, exploration and development of its mining properties located in the Yukon Territory in Canada. The Company has not yet determined whether these properties contain mineral reserves that are economically recoverable. The business of mining and exploring for minerals involves a high degree of risk and there can be no assurances that current exploration programs will result in profitable mining operations.
4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a) Use of Estimates
Preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and related notes to financial statements. These estimates are based on management's best knowledge of current events and actions the Company may undertake in the future. Actual results may ultimately differ from such estimates. Significant estimates include accruals, valuation allowance, fair value of stock for services and estimates for calculation of stock based compensation.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES-CONTD
b) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, and any other highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less. The carrying amounts approximate fair values because of the short maturity of those instruments.
c) Other Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of the Companys restricted cash, other receivable, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.
Commodity Price Risk:
The ability of the Company to develop its properties and the future profitability of the Company is directly related to the market price of certain minerals.
Foreign exchange risk:
The Company conducts most of its operating activities in Canadian dollars. The Company is therefore subject to gains or losses due to fluctuations in Canadian currency relative to the US dollar.
d) Long-term Financial Instruments
The fair value of each of the Companys long-term financial assets and debt instruments is based on the amount of future cash flows associated with each instrument discounted using an estimate of what the Companys current borrowing rate for similar instruments of comparable maturity would be.
e) Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, Plant, and Equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is provided commencing in the month following acquisition using the following annual rate and method:
Computer equipment | 20% | declining balance method |
Furniture and fixtures | 20% | declining balance method |
Office Equipment | 20% | declining balance method |
Mining Equipment | 30% | declining balance method |
Computer Software | 30% | declining balance method |
f) Operating and Capital Leases
Costs associated with operating leases are expensed as incurred. The cost of assets acquired via capital leases are capitalized and amortized over their useful lives. An offsetting liability is established to reflect the future obligation under capital leases. This liability is reduced by the future principal payments.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES-CONTD
g) Foreign Currency Translation
The Companys operating subsidiary is a foreign private company and maintains its books and records in Canadian dollars (the functional currency). The subsidiarys financial statements are converted to US dollars for consolidation purposes. The translation method used is the current rate method, which is the method mandated by SFAS No. 52 where the functional currency is the foreign currency. Under the current rate method all assets and liabilities are translated at the current rate, stockholders equity accounts are translated at historical rates and revenues and expenses are translated at average rates for the year.
Due to the fact that items in the financial statements are being translated at different rates according to their nature, a translation adjustment is created. This translation adjustment has been included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss).
h) Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of SFAS No. 109, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Deferred income taxes are provided using the liability method. Under the liability method, deferred income taxes are recognized for all significant temporary differences between the tax and financial statement bases of assets and liabilities.
Current income tax expense (recovery) is the amount of income taxes expected to be payable (recoverable) for the current period. A deferred tax asset and/or liability is computed for both the expected future impact of differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax losses. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax asset to the amount expected to be more likely than not realized in future tax returns. Tax law and rate changes are reflected in income in the period such changes are enacted.
i) Revenue Recognition
The Companys revenue recognition policies are expected to follow common practice in the mining industry. Revenue is recognized when concentrate or dore bars, in the case of precious metals, is produced in a mill processing ore from one or more mines. The only condition for recognition of revenue in these instances is the production of the dore or concentrate. In order to get the ore to a concentrate stage the ore must be mined and transported to a mill where it is crushed and ground. The ground product is then processed by gravity separation and/or flotation to produce a concentrate. In some circumstances chemical treatment is used to extract the precious metals from the concentrate into a solution. This solution is then subjected to various processes to precipitate the precious metals back to a solid state that can be melted down and poured into a mould to produce a dore bar (a combination of gold and silver).
j) Comprehensive Income
The Company has adopted SFAS No. 130 Reporting Comprehensive Income. This standard requires companies to disclose comprehensive income in their consolidated financial statements. In addition to items included in net income, comprehensive income includes items currently charged or credited directly to stockholders equity (deficiency), such as foreign currency translation adjustments, unrealized gains (loses) on available-for-sale securities etc.

k) Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board Statement No. 144, the Company records impairment of long-lived assets to be held and used or to be disposed of when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amount. At April 30, 2009 and April 30, 2008, the Company recognized impairment of $88,069 and $nil respectively. Amortization expense for the years ended April 30, 2009 and 2008 was $33,769 and $21,877 respectively.
l) Acquisition, Exploration and Evaluation Expenditures
The Company is an exploration stage mining company and has not yet realized any revenue from its operations. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties. Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred. Mineral property payments are capitalized only if the Company is able to allocate any economic value beyond proven and probable reserves. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs incurred to develop such property will be capitalized. For the purpose of preparing financial information, the Company is unable to allocate any economic value beyond proven and probable reserves and hence all property payments are considered to be impaired and accordingly written off to project expense. All costs associated with a property that has the potential to add to the Companys proven and probable reserves are expensed until a final feasibility study demonstrating the existence of proven and probable reserves is completed. No costs have been capitalized in the periods covered by these financial statements. Once capitalized, such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve.
Mineral property acquisition costs will also be capitalized in accordance with the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue 04-2 when management has determined that probable future benefits consisting of a contribution to future cash inflows have been identified and that adequate financial resources are available or are expected to be available as required to meet the terms of property acquisition and budgeted exploration and development expenditures. Mineral property payments are expensed as incurred if the criteria for capitalization is not met.
To date, mineral property exploration costs have been expensed as incurred. As of the date of these financial statements, the Company has incurred only property payments and exploration costs which have been expensed. To date the Company has not established any proven or probable reserves on its mineral properties.
m) Stock Based Compensation
On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Statement No.123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123(R)), which is a revision of FASB Statement No.123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. The Company had adopted the provisions of SFAS 123 (R) on May 1, 2005. As of April 30, 2009 there was $5,869 of unrecognized expense related to non-vested stock-based compensation arrangements granted. The total stock-based compensation expense relating to all employees and non employees for the years ended April 30, 2009 and 2008 was $31,858 and $584,328 respectively.
n) Earnings or Loss per Share
The Company has adopted FAS No. 128, Earnings per Share, which requires disclosure on the financial statements of basic and diluted loss per share. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus common stock equivalents (if dilutive) related to stock options and warrants for each year. There were no common equivalent shares outstanding at April 30, 2008 and 2007 that have been included in dilutive loss per share calculation as the effects would have been anti-dilutive. At April 30, 2009, there were 1,566,000 options from the 2003 Stock Option Plan and 1,487,500 options from the 2006 Stock Option Plan and 4,913,141 warrants outstanding. At April 30, 2008, there were 1,566,000 options from the 2003 Stock Option Plan and 1,837,500 options from the 2006 Stock Option Plan and 9,001,050 warrants outstanding.
o) Flow-Through Financing
The Company has financed a portion of its exploration activities through the issue of flow-through shares, which transfer the Canadian tax deductibility of exploration expenditure to the investor. Proceeds received from the issuance of such shares are allocated between the offering of shares and the sale of tax benefits.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES-CONTD
o) Flow-Through Financing-cont'd
The allocation is made based on the difference between the quoted price of the existing shares and the amount the investor pays for the shares. A liability is recognized for the difference.
Resource expenditure deductions for income tax purposes related to exploration and development activities funded by flow-through share arrangements are renounced to investors in accordance with the income tax legislation in Canada. On such renunciation, a deferred tax liability is created and the liability recognized at issuance reversed. The Company recognized the benefit of tax losses to offset the deferred tax liability resulting in an income tax recovery.
p) Recent Pronouncements
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations. This Statement replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. This Statement retains the fundamental requirements in Statement 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which Statement 141 called the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. This Statement also establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer: a) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree; b) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase and c) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) will apply prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after Companys fiscal year beginning May 1, 2009. The Company is currently assessing the impact of FAS 141(R).
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements. This Statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling (minority) interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 160 is effective for the Companys fiscal year beginning May 1, 2009. The Company is currently assessing the impact of FAS 160.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures
about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activitiesan amendment of FASB
Statement No. 133 (FAS 161). FAS 161 changes the disclosure requirements
for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to
provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative
instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are
accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how
derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entitys financial
position, financial performance, and cash flows. The guidance in FAS 161 is
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods
beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. This
Statement encourages, but does not require, comparative disclosures for earlier
periods at initial adoption. The Company is currently assessing the impact of
FAS 161.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles" ("SFAS 162"). SFAS 162 is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP for nongovernmental entities. SFAS 162 is effective 60 days following the Securities and Exchange Commission's approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board auditing amendments to AU Section 411, "The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles." The Company does not expect SFAS 162 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2. This FSP amends SFAS 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, SFAS 124, Accounting for Certain Investments Held by Not-for-Profit Organizations, and EITF Issue No. 99-20, Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased Beneficial Interests and Beneficial Interests That Continue to Be Held by a Transferor in Securitized Financial Assets, to make the other-than-temporary impairments guidance more operational and to improve the presentation of other-than-temporary impairments in the financial statements.. This FSP provides increased disclosure about the credit and noncredit components of impaired debt securities that are not expected to be sold and also requires increased and more frequent disclosures regarding expected cash flows, credit losses, and an aging of securities with unrealized losses. Although this FSP does not result in a change in the carrying amount of debt securities, it does require that the portion of an other-than-temporary impairment not related to a credit loss for a held-to-maturity security be recognized in a new category of other comprehensive income and be amortized over the remaining life of the debt security as an increase in the carrying value of the security. This FSP shall be effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating this new FSP but does not believe that it will have a significant impact on the determination or reporting of the financial results.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1). FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 require companies to disclose in interim financial statements the fair value of financial instruments within the scope of FASB Statement No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The fair-value information disclosed in the footnotes must be presented together with the related carrying amount, making it clear whether the fair value and carrying amount represent assets or liabilities and how the carrying amount relates to what is reported in the balance sheet. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 also requires that companies disclose the method or methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments and a discussion of changes, if any, in the method or methods and significant assumptions during the period. The FSP shall be applied prospectively and is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating this new FSP and the impact it will have on the determination or reporting of the financial results.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES-CONTD
p) Recent Pronouncements-Contd
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165 "Subsequent Events" ("SFAS 165"). SFAS 165 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. SFAS 165 sets forth (1) The period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, (2) The circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements and (3) The disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. SFAS 165 is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 165 will have on its financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166 "Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140" ("SFAS 166"). SFAS 166 improves the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor's continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets. SFAS 166 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity's first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 166 will have on its financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167 "Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)" ("SFAS 167"). SFAS 167 improves financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities and to address (1) the effects on certain provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities", as a result of the elimination of the qualifying special-purpose entity concept in SFAS 166 and (2) constituent concerns about the application of certain key provisions of Interpretation 46(R), including those in which the accounting and disclosures under the Interpretation do not always provide timely and useful information about an enterprise's involvement in a variable interest entity. SFAS 167 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity's first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 167 will have on its financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168 "The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles-a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162". The FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("Codification") will be the single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. SFAS 168 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. All existing accounting standards are superseded as described in SFAS 168. All other accounting literature not included in the Codification is non-authoritative. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 168 will have on its financial statements.
