Effective January 29, 2009, the Company changed its jurisdiction from the Province of British Columbia to the State of Nevada.  Effective the same date, the Company's authorized capital was changed from an unlimited number of common shares without par value to 500,000,000 common shares with a par value of $0.001 per share. Ruby Creek Resources (Tanzania) Limited (“RCRTz) was incorporated on May 21, 2010 in Tanzania, a joint venture which is 70% owned by the Company.
 
Going Concern
 
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.  The Company is in the exploration stage and has not generated revenues since inception.  The Company has incurred significant losses from inception through November 30, 2010 approximating $3,828,000 and has a working capital deficit of $377,000 at November 30, 2010, raising substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.  The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain necessary financing to settle outstanding debts, fund ongoing operating losses and to determine the existence, discovery and successful exploitation of economically recoverable mineral reserves on its resource properties and ultimately on the attainment of future profitable operations.  The Company has received limited amounts of private equity and/or convertible debt financing and is currently offering Units of its equity securities (see Note 7e and 8) to certain current shareholders and new investors.  While the Company plans to raise funds on this private placement, and management believes it has made significant progress on its plan of operations, additional working capital and capital funds will be required to finance the Company’s operations until commercial operations commence and positive cash flow can be achieved.  Management believes that additional financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company. However, there can be no assurance of this, nor that commercial operations will be reached.  These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
 
Basis of Presentation
 
Unaudited Interim Financial Statements
 
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("US GAAP") for interim financial information and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and on the same basis as the annual audited consolidated financial statements.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
a) 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at

the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
b) 
Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share
 
The Company computes loss per share in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the statement of operations.  Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period.  Dilutive loss per share excludes all potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. 
Shares of common stock issuable upon conversion or exercise of potentially dilutive securities at November 30, 2010 are as follows:
 
Shares issuable upon exercise of warrants  - July 2009 private placement
   
200,000

c)
Mineral Property Costs
 
The Company has been in the exploration stage since its formation on May 3, 2006 and has not realized any revenues from its planned operations. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. The Company classifies its mineral rights as tangible assets and accordingly acquisition costs are initially capitalized as mineral property costs. Generally accepted accounting principles require that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In performing the review for recoverability, the Company is to estimate the future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition.  If the sum of the undiscounted expected future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized. Mineral exploration costs are expensed as incurred until commercially mineable deposits are determined to exist within a particular property.  To date the Company has not established any proven or probable reserves.
 
The Company accounts for the initial measurement and subsequent accounting for obligations associated with the sale, abandonment, or other disposal of long-term tangible assets arising from the acquisition, construction or development and for normal operations of such assets.  As of November 30, 2010, the Company has not incurred any potential costs related to the retirement of mineral property interests since operation have not commenced.
 
 
Upon commencement of commercial operations, the Company will accrue costs associated with environmental remediation obligations in accordance with ASC 410-20, Asset Retirement Obligations. In accordance with ASC 410-20-25, Asset Retirement Obligations -Recognition, the Company will record a liability for the present value of the estimated environmental remediation costs in the period in which the liability is incurred and becomes determinable, with an offsetting increase in the carrying amount of the associated asset. The liability will be accreted and the asset will be depreciated over the life of the related assets. Adjustments for changes resulting from the passage of time and changes to either the timing or amount of the original present value estimate underlying the obligation will be made. As reclamation work is performed or liabilities are otherwise settled, the recorded amount of the liability will be reduced.

NOTE 1 - Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued
 
The Company will accrue costs associated with any environmental remediation obligation when it is probable that such costs will be incurred and they are reasonably estimable. Estimates for reclamation and other closure costs are prepared in accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies, or ASC 410-30-25, Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations - Recognition. Costs of future expenditures for environmental remediation will not be discounted to their present value unless subject to a contractually obligated fixed payment schedule. Such costs will be based on management’s then current best estimate of amounts to be incurred when the remediation work is performed, within current laws and regulations.
 
Future reclamation and environmental-related expenditures are difficult to estimate, in many circumstances, due to the early stage nature of the exploration project, and uncertainties associated with defining the nature and extent of environmental disturbance and the application of laws and regulations by regulatory authorities and changes in reclamation or remediation technology. The Company will be required to periodically review accrued liabilities for such reclamation and remediation costs as evidence becomes available indicating that the liabilities have potentially changed. Changes in estimates will be reflected in the statement of operations in the period an estimate is revised.
 
e) 
Foreign Currency Translation 
 
The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar. The functional currency of the Company’s Tanzanian subsidiary is the Tanzanian Shilling. The financial statements of the subsidiary are translated to United States dollars in accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Translation Matters. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at rates of exchange in effect at the date of the transaction. Average monthly rates are used to translate revenues and expenses. Related translation adjustments are reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity, whereas gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in results of operations.
 
f)
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability. The fair value should be calculated based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, not on assumptions specific to the entity. In addition, the fair value of liabilities should include consideration of non-performance risk including the entity’s own credit risk.
 
A fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs is established. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. Each fair value measurement is reported in one of the three levels and which is determined by the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
 
These levels are:
 
Level 1 – inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.
 
Level 2 – inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
 
Level 3 – inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques that include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques.
 
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts payable, accrued interest, loan payable, convertible notes and amounts due to Douglas Lake. The carrying value of these financial instruments approximates their fair value based on their liquidity, their short-term nature or application of appropriate risk based discount rates to determine fair value. These financial assets and liabilities are valued using level 3 inputs, except for cash which is at level 1. The Company is not exposed to significant interest, exchange or credit risk arising from these financial instruments.

g) 
Stock-Based Compensation
 
The Company records stock-based compensation in using the fair value method.  All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.  Equity instruments issued to employees and the cost of the services received as consideration are measured and recognized based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued.  Certain warrants and options include cashless exercise provisions.
 
h) 
Income Taxes
 
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. The asset and liability method provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.
 
i) 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
Accounting Standards Codification
 
The Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) has become the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).  The ASC only changes the referencing of financial accounting standards and does not change or alter existing GAAP.
 
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASC No. 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosure and Fair Value Measurements”, which requires that purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements for Level 3 measurements be disclosed.  ASC No. 2010-06 is effective for its fiscal quarter beginning after 15 December 2010.  The adoption of ASC No. 2010-06 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-11, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Scope Exception Related to Embedded Credit Derivatives”. ASU No. 2010-11 clarifies the type of embedded credit derivative that is exempt from embedded derivative bifurcation requirements. Specifically, only one form of embedded credit derivative qualifies for the exemption – one that is related only to the subordination of one financial instrument to another. As a result, entities that have contracts containing an embedded credit derivative feature in a form other than such subordination may need to separately account for the embedded credit derivative feature. The amendments in ASU No. 2010-11 are effective for each reporting entity at the beginning of its first fiscal quarter beginning after 15 June 2010. Early adoption is permitted at the beginning of each entity’s first fiscal quarter beginning after 5 March 2010. The adoption of ASC No. 2010-11 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In February 2010, the FASB issued ASC No. 2010-09, “Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements”, which eliminates the requirement for SEC filers to disclose the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events.  ASC No. 2010-09 is effective for its fiscal quarter beginning after 15 December 2010.  The adoption of ASC No. 2010-06 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements

NOTE 2 - Mineral Properties
(a)    On November 7, 2009, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Douglas Lake, for the right to acquire and develop a portion of Douglas Lake’s Mkuvia Gold Project. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company acquired a seventy percent (70%) interest in 125 square kilometers of the 380 square kilometers Mkuvia Gold Project for total gross consideration of $3,000,000, payable over three years. In accordance with the terms of the Agreement, the Company initially paid $250,000, and upon satisfactory due diligence paid an additional $100,000. For financial reporting purposes, the transaction contemplated by the Agreement has an effective date of March 15, 2010.
 
Upon issuance and receipt of the first mining license, the Company will be required to make (i) an additional payment of $400,000 to Douglas Lake (this amount has been classified as a current liability in the accompanying balance sheet);  and (ii) three additional payments of $750,000 within 12, 24 months and 36 months of that date, respectively. The Company has the option to satisfy the final $750,000 payment, by issuing restricted shares of its common stock based upon the Volume Weighted Average Price (“VWAP”) for the 10 days immediately preceding the payment date.  For financial reporting purposes, the series of payments due after one year in the gross amount of $2,250,000 were recorded at their fair value of $1,694,042 determined utilizing a discount rate of 12% per annum.  Interest expense for the three months ended November 30, 2010 includes amortization of $53,951 of this debt discount, with a remaining balance at November 30, 2010 of $1,834,405.
 
Additionally, the Agreement provides that within 12 months of receipt of the initial mining license, the Company has the option to increase its interest to 75 percent of the 125 square kilometers by making an additional $1,000,000 payment to Douglas Lake.  In all cases, the original owner of the four prospecting licenses, Mr. Mkuvia Maita, retains a 3 percent Net Smelter Royalty as per the original agreement between Mr. Maita and Douglas Lake.
 
The Mkuvia Gold Project is located in the Liwale and Nachingwea Districts, Lindi Region of the United Republic of Tanzania.
 
(b)    On March 7, 2010, the Company entered into an agreement for the creation of a Tanzanian joint venture company (“RCRTz”) formed for the ownership and management of the 125 square kilometer Mkuvia Gold Project. The joint venture company is owned 70% by the Company, 25% by Douglas Lake and 5% by Mr. Maita Mkuvia (subject to conditions as described below), the original Prospecting License owner. The joint venture company was officially formed in Tanzania on May 21, 2010. RCRTz will be the operating company holding the mineral rights to the 125 square kilometers of land relating to Mkuvia Gold Project as well as the additional 255 sq km of the Mkuvia Gold Project acquired on June 16, 2010 as described below. A second Joint Venture Agreement (the “JVA”) was entered into by the parties with respect to the additional 255 sq km of the Mkuvia Gold Project whereby RCRTz assumed control of the permitting and licensing processes. The JVA provides that Mr. Mkuvia’s 5% interest shall vest when RCRTz obtains a mining license over a portion of the area covered by the Prospecting Licenses relating to the 380 sq km of the Project and a retention license over the balance for the area.
 
(c)    Effective on June 16, 2010, the Company acquired the exclusive mineral and mining rights to the remaining 255 square kilometers of the Mkuvia Gold Project in Tanzania from Douglas Lake. As consideration, the Company is required to pay Douglas Lake $6,000,000 over a three-year period in a combination of cash and common shares. The Company has paid $250,000 and issued 4,000,000 common shares of the Company with a fair market value of $2,120,000 at $0.53 per share (fair market value on date of issuance), which was due within 30 days of receipt of governmental Certificates of Acknowledgement. For contractual purposes these 4,000,000 shares had a value of $3,200,000, based upon a stated value of $0.80 per share. In addition $450,000 is due on June 1, 2011; $1,000,000 is due on June 1, 2012; and $1,000,000 is due on June 1 2013. An additional $100,000 due to Douglas Lake is being retained to satisfy Douglas Lake’s financial obligation to deliver an environmental study and an initial mining license. The Company has the option to satisfy the final $1,000,000 payment due on June 1, 2013 by issuing shares of its common stock based upon the Volume Weighted Average Price (“VWAP”) for the 20 days immediately preceding the payment date.  Scheduled cash payments can be accelerated in the event of future equity financing or obtaining additional mining licenses. The new Purchase Agreement also provides that the Company has the option to increase its interest from the current 70% to 75% of the Project by making an additional $1,000,000 payment to Douglas Lake. For financial reporting purposes, the series of future payments in the gross amount of $2,450,000 were recorded at their fair value of $1,882,127 (of which $398,565 was current as of the transaction date) determined utilizing a

discount rate of 12% per annum resulting in a discount of $567,872. Interest expense for the three months ended November 30, 2010 includes amortization of $58,874 of this debt discount, resulting in a remaining net balance of these future payments as of November 30, 2010 of $2,001,861. As a result of the transactions above the Company owns 70% of the mineral and mining rights to the entire 380 sq km of the Mkuvia Gold Project, and has the option to increase its interest from 70% to 75% for $2,000,000.
 
(d)    On September  9, 2010, the Company signed an agreement with Carlos JK Kapinga (“CJKK”) (the property rights owner) and Magembe Cheyo (“MC”) (the introducing party), whereby the Company was granted the exclusive right for six months to acquire the mineral and mining rights to the 340 sq km Kapinga property for a fixed purchase price of $500,000. A non-refundable deposit of $30,000 (including fees) has been paid and is included in the accompanying balance sheet. Should the Company exercise its purchase option in the contractual  six month due diligence period ending March 9, 2011, the Kapinga Gold Property will be transferred on closing into a Tanzanian joint venture company, Ruby Creek Gold (Tanzania) Limited. The Company will own 87% of the joint venture,  CJKK 10% and MC 3%.  According to the terms of the agreement, if the Company exercises its right, a total of $230,000  will be due at that time.  The final $250,000 payment is due upon the issuance of the first mining license for the Kapinga Gold Property.  Payments can be made in cash, or at the option of CJKK, in common shares of the Company. MC received $10,000 upon execution and is entitled to (i) additional consideration of $20,000 and 25,000 common shares of the Company if the Company exercises its rights to acquire the property and (ii) $20,000 and 25,000 common shares of the Company upon issuance of a mining license.
 
Both the Kapinga Gold Project and the Company’s Mkuvia Gold Project are located in the Liwale and Nachingwea Districts, Lindi Region of the United Republic of Tanzania.
 
NOTE 3 - Bridge Loan
 
On December 22, 2009, the Company received $75,000 in proceeds of a bridge loan transaction (the “Bridge”) from a significant shareholder and special advisor (currently a director) (“Holder”).  The loan bears interest at the rate of 12% per annum.  The loan agreement grants the holder the right to convert any portion of the balance plus accrued interest into common shares of the Company at a price of $0.125 per share.  The original due date of the bridge of January 22, 2010 was extended several times by mutual consent, ultimately to March 23, 2010.  In consideration of the loan and these extensions, the Company agreed to additional consideration in the form of units of securities and additional warrants.  This additional consideration resulted in the issuance of an aggregate of 180,000 common shares and two year warrants to purchase an additional 390,000 common shares at $0.25 per share.  The fair value of this consideration of $61,300 was included in interest expense for the year ended August 31, 2010.  This amount consisted of fair value of the common shares ($31,500), and the fair value of the warrants ($29,800) based upon the Black-Scholes option pricing model.   On March 23, 2010, the Company defaulted on the payment of interest and principal on the bridge.  Upon occurrence of the default, the Holder converted the outstanding balance of the note ($75,000) and accrued interest ($2,244) into 1,544,877 shares of common stock of the Company at the contractual conversion price of $0.05 per share. In addition, as a result of this default, the Company was obligated to issue to the Holder, a two year warrant to purchase 1,500,000 common shares at an exercise price of $0.05 per share.  This default resulted in a financing charge of $787,369, comprised of $386,219 fair value of common shares issuable in excess of book value of liabilities and $401,150 fair value of the warrant, which recorded effective on the default date.  The Company estimated the fair value of the warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: an expected life of two years, a risk-free interest rate of 1.02%, a dividend rate of 0% and an expected volatility of 136%. 
 
In November 2010, the Holder exercised his conversion rights to the 1,500,000 default warrant and the Company received $75,000 and issued 1,500,000 restricted common shares. 
 
 
On November 27, 2009, the Company issued two $50,000, 11% convertible notes for total proceeds of $100,000 to a significant shareholder and special advisor (currently a director) and to another significant shareholder.  These notes were due and payable on November 27, 2010.   In addition, each holder of the note received warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.05 for a term of three years.  The Company calculated an associated beneficial conversion feature and discount of $100,000 which amount was reflected as a discount of the face amount of these debentures on the date of the transaction.  The amount was determined using the relative fair value method.   The Company estimated the fair

value of the warrant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: an expected life of three years, a risk-free interest rate of 2.57%, a dividend rate of 0% and an expected volatility of 116%. This discount was amortized to interest expense over the term of the debentures, and was reflected as a non-cash charge in the accompanying financial statements of which $75,890 was amortized to interest expense in the year ended August 31, 2010 and $24,110 for the three months ended November 30, 2010. 
 
On November 27, 2010, the holders of the convertible notes elected to convert these notes, plus an aggregate of $11,000 in interest earned, into 2,220,000 shares of common stock at the conversion price of $0.05 per common share. 
 
NOTE 5 - Other Related Party Transactions
 
At November 30, 2010, the Company was indebted to its CEO in the amount of $12,901, including amounts due for accrued compensation.  At August 31, 2010, the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) was indebted to the Company in the amount of $39,668. This represents net amounts advanced for travel and mining related expenses to be incurred while in Tanzania.  During the year ended August 31, 2010, the CEO purchased 1,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company at $0.05 per share by applying $50,000 of his balance due from the Company on that date.  On September 1, 2009, the Company granted 1,100,000 compensation warrants to the CEO at an exercise price of $0.05 per share for a term of 5 years.  These options vested 25% every three months over a period of one year.  The Company estimated the fair value of these warrants to be $72,500 at the date of grant, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: expected life of three years, a risk-free interest rate of 2.57%, a dividend yield of 0% and an expected volatility of 100%.  Stock-based compensation of $18,125 was recorded during the three months ended November 30, 2009 as management services (2010 - Nil).
 
At November 30, 2010 and August 31, 2010, respectively, $44,000 and $32,000 was owing to a significant shareholder and special advisor (currently a director) for consulting services.
 
All related party transactions are in the normal course of business and are measured at the exchange amount, which is the amount of consideration established and agreed to by the related parties.
 
NOTE 6 – Commitments and Contingencies

a)
On March 8, 2010, the Company was served with a Writ of Summons from its former general counsel, Lang Michener LLP of Vancouver, Canada, for the collection of its alleged uncollected fees in the amount of approximately $105,000.  On November 23, 2010, the parties settled this litigation and the Company paid approximately $75,000 in full satisfaction of the debt resulting in a gain of approximately $30,000. Mutual releases were exchanged.
   
b)
In April 2010, the Company entered into an arrangement with a company affiliated with a principal shareholder for the use of its office space and facilities in New York City for a one year period in the amount of $36,000. This obligation was satisfied by the issuance of 144,000 restricted common shares of the Company valued at $0.25 per share.  This amount is being recognized as rent expense in results of operations at the rate of $3,000 per month commencing in June 2010.

As used in this quarterly report: (i) the terms "we", "us", "our" and the "Company" mean Ruby Creek Resources, Inc.; (ii) "SEC" refers to the Securities and Exchange Commission; (iii) "Exchange Act" refers to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; and (iv) all dollar amounts refer to United States dollars unless otherwise indicated.
 
The following discussion of our plan of operations, results of operations and financial condition for the comparative three-month period ended November 30, 2010 should be read in conjunction with our unaudited interim financial statements and related notes for the comparative three month periods ended November 30, 2010 included in this quarterly report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including, but not limited to, some of which are outside our control.
 
Plan of Operations
 
Based on the nature of our business, we anticipate incurring operating losses in the foreseeable future. We base this expectation, in part, on the fact that very few prospecting licenses in the exploration stage ultimately develop into producing, profitable mines. As noted above, our future financial results are also uncertain due to a number of factors, some of which are outside our control.
 
Due to our lack of operating history and lack of operating revenues, uncertainty on the availability of adequate financial resources to support operations and to fund future payment obligations associated with the acquisitions of the Mkuvia Gold Project and the Kapinga Gold Property and, there exists substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Even if we (i) complete our current exploration and test mining program related to the Mkuvia Gold Project, (ii) consummate the Kapinga transaction and secure our first mining license and (iii) we are successful in identifying mineral deposits, we will have to spend substantial funds on further drilling and engineering studies, mining equipment and/or contractors before we will know if we have a commercially viable mineral deposit or reserve. Our plan of operations for the next twelve months is to obtain the funding necessary for the continued exploration and development of the Mkuvia Gold Project and other potential exploration properties.
 
Liquidity and Financial Condition
 
At November 30, 2010, we had cash of approximately $652,000 and a working capital deficit of approximately $377,000, including a current liability approximating $924,000 to Douglas Lake Minerals (see Note 2).  In addition to working capital requirements, our need for liquidity includes payment obligations remaining under our Mkuvia Gold Property and other property purchases. With respect to the 125 Sq Km Mkuvia Property rights acquisition, the Company will be required to make (i) a payment of $400,000 to Douglas Lake Minerals upon the issuance of the initial mining license which is anticipated to occur in the first half of fiscal 2011; and (ii) three additional payments of $750,000 within 12, 24 months and 36 months of that date.  The Company has the option to satisfy the final $750,000 payment (which would be due on September, 2013, should the mining license be issued in September 2010) by issuing shares of its common stock based upon the Volume Weighted Average Price (“VWAP”) for the 10 days immediately preceding the payment date.  In connection with the acquisition of the rights to the 225 sq km of the Mkuvia Gold Project on June 16, 2010 we have remaining obligations to pay $450,000 on June 1, 2011; $1,000,000 on June 1, 2012; and $1,000,000 on June 1 2013. The Company has the option to satisfy the final $1,000,000 payment due on June 1, 2013, by issuing shares of its common stock based upon the Volume Weighted Average Price (“VWAP”) for the 20 days immediately preceding the payment date. Complete details of these agreements are included elsewhere in this document. The Purchase Agreements also provide us with the option to increase our interest from the current 70% to 75% of the Project by making an aggregate payment of an additional $2,000,000 to Douglas Lake. Therefore, in total with respect to the entire 380 sq km of the Project, we have the option to increase our interest from 70% to 75% for $2,000,000. The convertible debentures are payable in three equal payments due six, twelve an eighteen months after closing,  plus accrued interest on the declining balance. The holders may elect to receive in payment of any portion of interest and/or principal restricted common shares of the Company valued at $0.50 per share.
 
The transaction is subject to satisfactory completion of due diligence procedures and is scheduled to close no later than 90 days after the contract dates.
 
Upon consummation of the Kapinga Gold Property transaction, we will require an additional $225,000 on closing which is scheduled to occur no later than March 2011. An additional $250,000 payment is due on obtaining the first mining license for this property. The seller has the option to elect payment in common shares of the Company or cash.

Ruby Creek Resources, Inc.

November 30, 2010

 
On January 12, 2011, we entered into agreements to acquire from Gold Standard Ltd, a private limited liability Cayman Islands Company and Gold Standard Tanzania Ltd, (“GSTZ”) a private limited liability Tanzanian Company, a 95% controlling interest of Gold Standard Tanzania Ltd.  and mining equipment located both on-site and in Dar es Salaam.  GSTZ’s assets include a 25-year, 10 square kilometer mining license issued in September 2010, two Prospecting License Joint Ventures of 50 (inclusive of the mining license) and 89 square kilometers, respectively, a Regional Environmental Report on the combined 139 square kilometer property and an established mining camp. The closing of the transaction is subject to satisfactory completion of due diligence procedures and is scheduled to close no later than April 2011. The aggregate purchase price of $3,585,000 is comprised of $100,000 due contract (paid), $900,000 on closing, the issuance of a $2 million in the form of 8% convertible debentures due in 18 months, plus the assumption of $585,000 in liabilities. The holders may elect to receive in payment of any portion of interest and/or principal restricted common shares of the Company valued at $0.50 per share.
 
In fiscal 2010 and through January 14, 2011, we received additional funding as follows:
 
From December 29, 2009 to February 19, 2010 we raised $200,000 and filed a Form D pursuant to Rule 506 of the SEC, Notice of Exempt Offering of Securities.  Under this offering we issued 1,600,000 shares of our common stock at $0.125 per share and warrants to purchase an additional 800,000 common shares for 2 years at $0.25 per share.
 
For the period from April 3, 2010 to August 26, 2010, we conducted an offering of our securities under Regulations D and S offering pursuant to Rule 506 of the SEC for $350,000. We ultimately sold 5,356,000 Units at a price of $0.25 per Unit and received total proceeds of $1,339,000 on this offering. Each Unit consisted of one common share and one warrant.  Two warrants are required to buy one common share at a price of $0.50 per share for a period of up to two years.
 
On October 18, 2010, we commenced another offering of our equity securities pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D and Regulation S for up to $3,000,000 consisting of 6,000,000 million units.  Through January 14, 2011, the Company has received $1,312,000 in proceeds for the sale of 2,624,000 Units at a price of $0.50 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one common share and one common stock purchase warrant.  One warrant is required to buy one common share at a price of $1.00 per share exercisable for a period of up to two years. This offering is continuing and we anticipate, but cannot guarantee, that we will be receiving additional funds.
 
On November 27, 2010, the holders of our 11% convertible debentures and accrued interest in the aggregate amount of $111,000 elected to convert these securities into 2,220,000 common shares, extinguishing this obligation.
 
In the period from September 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010, three holders of an aggregate of 450,000 warrants, issued in the private placement described in Note 7b to the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, exercised their right to purchase 225,000 shares of common stock for which we received $56,250.
 
In November, 2010, the holder of a 1,500,000 common share default warrant issued in connection with a $75,000 bridge loan (which itself was converted in March 2010) exercised this warrant, for which we received proceeds of $75,000.
 
Future Financings
 
We anticipate that any future additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock or other securities convertible into our common stock. In addition to equity and equity related financing sources, we believe that debt financing may be a viable alternative for funding additional phases of exploration.  However, while management believes that it will be successful, there can be no assurance that any potential subsequent financings will be, or that any funds raised will be sufficient for us to conduct and sustain our operations, fund our obligations under property acquisition agreements and pay our expenses for the next twelve months. In the absence of such financing, we will not be able to continue exploration of our joint venture prospecting licenses for the Mkuvia Gold Mining Project, the Kapinga Gold Project or the Gold Standard prospects and our business plan could fail.  Even if we are successful in obtaining debt or equity financing to fund our various acquisition and exploration programs, there is no assurance that we will obtain the funding necessary to pursue any advanced exploration of any prospecting licenses we presently have or that we may acquire or that the any project will yield commercially viable levels of minerals.  If we do not continue to obtain additional financing, we will be forced to abandon our plan of operations.

Results of Operations for the year three months ended November 30, 2010.
 
Mining exploration and preoperating costs
 
In the three months ended November 30, 2010, we incurred approximately $278,000 in mining exploration and preoperating costs as compared to $0 in the comparable period of the preceding year. These costs include the establishment of base camp operations on the Mkuvia, housing facilities, salaries of full time and part time personnel, security personnel, operating personnel and equipment related costs of test mining activities; and administrative office and personnel costs of Dar es Salaam office. It is expected that these costs will increase in future quarters as operations expand.
 
Consulting Services
 
In the three months ended November 30, 2010, we incurred approximately $93,000 in consulting costs as compared to $65,000 in comparable period of the preceding year. We are incurring fees for board level advisory and members to assist us in operations in Tanzania and in support of board of directors and financing activities and strategies, and other legal and administrative support. Of the total amount incurred, approximately $34,000 was in payments requiring cash, and $59,000 was in stock based compensation.
 
Interest and Financing Fees
 
In the three months ended November 30, 2010, we incurred approximately $140,000 of interest and financing fees as compared to $0 in the comparable period of the preceding year. Approximately $137,000 were non-cash financing costs related to the fair value of derivative instruments issued in connection with the 11% convertible debentures ($24,000) and the amortization of debt discount related to the amounts due Douglas Lake minerals ($113,000).
 
Management Services
 
In the three months ended November 30, 2010, we incurred approximately $139,000 for the cost of management services as compared to $42,000 in the comparable period of the preceding year. The increase reflects the full time services of our CEO in the current period as compared to the preceding year’s comparable period, the retention of a CFO on February 1, 2010 and of a director of corporate communications in July 2010. For the three month period ended November 30, 2010, $39,000 represents stock based compensation comprised of the fair value of compensation warrants and common share issuances earned in 2010.  Approximately $21,000 in non-cash compensation was incurred in the preceding year.
 
Office and General, Professional Fees, and Shareholder Relations
 
In the three months ended November 30, 2010, we incurred approximately $162,000 (excluding costs related to mining operations) of these costs as compared to $14,000 in the comparable period of the preceding year. These expenses increased in a manner consistent with the increased complexity and scope or operations of the company, including the retention of investor relations firms to enhance our profile in the public markets, travel and related costs arising from attendance at various industry and investor conferences, directors and officers insurance and additional support staff and facilities costs.
 
Net Loss
 
We had a net loss of approximately $831,000 for the three month period ended November 30, 2010 as compared to a net loss of approximately $122,000 for the comparable period of the preceding year.  Our net loss from inception of the Company on May 3, 2006 until November 30, 2010 was approximately 3,828,000. Our net loss for the three months ended November 30, 2010 is attributable to the execution of our business plan to become a producing company.  For the three months ended November 30, 2010, stock based compensation approximated $78,000, the value of shares issued for services approximated $5,000 and non-cash financing costs approximated $137,000 for an aggregate of $220,000 in non-cash cost included in results of operations.

Going Concern
 
We are in the exploration stage and have not generated revenues since inception.  We have incurred significant losses to date and further losses are anticipated raising substantial doubt about the ability of our Company to continue operating as a going concern.  The continuation of our Company as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, meet the Douglas Lake and other obligations and to determine the existence, discovery and successful exploitation of economically recoverable reserves on our resource properties and ultimately on the attainment of future profitable operations. Since inception to November 30, 2010, we had accumulated losses of $3,828,000.  These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis.  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
 
We regularly evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to prepare our financial statements.  In general, management's estimates are based on historical experience, on information from third party professionals, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances.  Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.
 
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Mineral Property Costs
 
The Company has been in the exploration stage since its formation on May 3, 2006 and has not realized any revenues from its planned operations.  It is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral resources.
 
The Company classifies its mineral rights as tangible assets and accordingly acquisition costs are capitalized as mineral property costs. Generally accepted accounting principles require that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  In performing the review for recoverability, the Company is to estimate the future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the undiscounted expected future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized.  Mineral exploration costs are expensed as incurred until commercially mineable deposits are determined to exist within a particular property.  To date the Company has not established any proven or probable reserves.
 
The Company accounts for asset retirement obligations by recording the initial measurement and subsequent accounting for obligations associated with the sale, abandonment, or other disposal of long-term tangible assets arising from the acquisition, construction or development and for normal operations of such assets.  As of August 31, 2010, any potential costs related to the retirement of the Company's mineral property interests have not yet been determined.
 
Foreign Currency Translation
 
The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar. The functional currency of the Company’s Tanzanian subsidiary is the Tanzanian Shilling. The financial statements of the subsidiary are translated to United States dollars in accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Translation Matters. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at rates of exchange in effect at the date of the transaction. Average monthly rates are used to translate revenues and expenses. Related translation adjustments are reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity, whereas gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in results of operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
Effective September 1, 2009, the Company adopted ASC 855, Subsequent Events. ASC 855 requires companies to recognize in the financial statements the effects of subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet, including the estimates inherent in the process of preparing financial statements. An entity shall disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated, as well as whether that date is the date the financial statements were issued. Companies are not permitted to recognize subsequent events that provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the date of the balance sheet but arose after the balance sheet date and before financial statements are issued. Some non recognized subsequent events must be disclosed to keep the financial statements from being misleading. For such events a company must disclose the nature of the event, an estimate of its financial effect, or a statement that such an estimate cannot be made. This Statement applies prospectively for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of ASC 855 did not have an impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial position.
 
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASC No. 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosure and Fair Value Measurements”, which requires that purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements for Level 3 measurements be disclosed.  ASC No. 2010-06 is effective for its fiscal quarter beginning after December 15, 2010. The adoption of ASC No. 2010-06 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-11, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Scope Exception Related to Embedded Credit Derivatives”. ASU No. 2010-11 clarifies the type of embedded credit derivative that is exempt from embedded derivative bifurcation requirements. Specifically, only one form of embedded credit derivative qualifies for the exemption – one that is related only to the subordination of one financial instrument to another. As a result, entities that have contracts containing an embedded credit derivative feature in a form other than such subordination may need to separately account for the embedded credit derivative feature. The amendments in ASU No. 2010-11 are effective for each reporting entity at the beginning of its first fiscal quarter beginning after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted at the beginning of each entity’s first fiscal quarter beginning after March 5, 2010. The adoption of ASC No. 2010-11 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
Other recent pronouncements issued are not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
 
 
We are currently not subject to any material market risks.
 
Item 4T. Controls and Procedures
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report, based on their evaluation of these controls and procedures required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15, due to certain material weaknesses in our internal control over interim financial reporting as of November 30, 2010, as described in our management’s report on internal control over financial reporting included in our annual report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended August 31, 2010, which deficiencies have not been remedied as of November 30, 2010.
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
Effective February 1, 2010, the Company has retained an interim CFO and it is believed his participation has strengthened internal controls, and certain new controls have been installed or are in the process of being implemented.  We believe that this did and will continue to improve and strengthen our internal controls over financial reporting.
