PART I
GENERAL NOTE
In accordance with directive from the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC) and Industry Guide 7, reference for all intent and purposes to the
Company's employees as miners, its properties as mines or its operation as
mining does not diminish the fact that the Company has no proven reserves and
is in the "exploration state" as defined in Guide 7(a)(4)(iii).
ITEM 1: BUSINESS
Description of Business
Original Sixteen to One Mine, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated in 1911 in
California. It mines gold on properties it owns in fee simple or on which it has
claims in the Alleghany Mining District, about 65 miles northeast of the
intersection of I-80 and California State Route 49.
The primary operation is the Sixteen to One mine from which more than 1,111,628
troy ounces of gold have been retrieved since the mine commenced operation in
1896. It is a traditional hard rock underground mine where employees create
horizontal levels at various elevations and raise into favorable areas. The
geology of the mineral deposit is well documented. Gold is not distributed
evenly within the quartz veins; however, concentrations of gold deposits are
found scattered within these quartz veins. Because the gold appears
intermittently, the Company has never declared reserves according to
contemporary industry standards.
Operations are characterized by significant amounts of preparation, tunneling,
underground property maintenance and upgrading, all of which are necessary to
permit access to and extraction of gold. The Company from time to time focuses
substantially all of its resources on infrastructure development and
maintenance, and during these periods, little gold is mined. At other times,
employees are primarily searching for gold. Accordingly, business is subjected
to two very different cycles, one dependent on whether the Company is directing
its resources towards infrastructure or underground development and the other
as a function of gold production. The operation resembles the classical "boom
or bust" cycles regardless of outside influences.
Metal detection technology enables exploration to detect gold from zero to 48
inches from quartz faces in the wall rock. (The size of the concentration is a
factor). The Company works with others interested in developing new
technologies for deeper penetration. These arrangements allow the Company to
benefit from research activities without incurring the full costs associated
with research and development.
Advancement in metal detection technology has steadily progressed over the past
nineteen years. Greater sensitivity in metal detection has historically
increased gold production throughout the mine. Since the Company lacks the
funds to carry forth scientific research, it is impossible to predict when a new
device will be developed; however, the hardware used in advanced gold detection
has continued to improve. Also the same physics principles that are used in
governmental programs for Directed Energy Weapons and Security may stimulate
research and development.
For accounting purposes gold revenues are accrued when the metal has been
recovered. For tax purposes revenues are not recognized until the gold is sold.
Rare highgrade gold and quartz is sold at a premium to museums, collectors and
jewelry manufacturers. This market has become a significant financial factor
since its beginning in 1993. Demand for the Sixteen to One gold quartz
gemstone is currently greater than the amount mined.
The Company lacks sufficient funds to implement major construction projects to
significantly increase production of gold. Sinking a new shaft in the center
of the property is one project. The company has plans to raise working capital
for this project. Other mining related projects are: joining a public stock
exchange, building and testing a gold detector specifically designed for the
Sixteen to One vein. Future development and testing of advanced metal
detection will likely increase the production of gold.
Supplies and equipment used for underground exploration are commonly available.
Labor requirements are available. The Company believes that within the Sixteen
to One mine substantial exploration opportunities exist.
No particular seasonality exists for the marketing of gold (other than the
Company's gold jewelry sales for which some modest bias toward the fourth
quarter is recorded). Business is not seasonal except for the adverse
effect of winter storms on the ability of a crew to access the mine.
Management believes it is in substantial compliance with all applicable federal,
state and local laws and regulations relating to the environment. The Company
does not presently anticipate any material capital expenditures for
environmental control facilities, either for the remainder of its current fiscal
year or for the succeeding fiscal year.
In December of 2007, management elected to discontinue its exploration program
at the Sixteen to One Mine in favor of focusing its attention on surface and
underground repairs and maintenance. The work is ongoing.
The Company's executive office is located at 527 Miners Street, Alleghany,
California 95910. It maintains a website: www.origsix.com.
Risk Factors
(a) Price of Gold
The price of gold has increased significantly from the low of $254 in 1999. Any
significant drop in the price of gold may have an adverse effect on the results
of the Company's operations unless the Company is able to offset such a price
drop by increasing production or jewelry sales.
(b) Lack of Proven Reserves
Because proven reserves are not utilized as a component for evaluating future
earnings or ore values, a sense of uncertainty of existence arises. Caution is
recommended in using the doctrines of reserves as an economic tool for valuing
the Sixteen to One mine. While (i) the Company has recovered over one million
ounces of gold and (ii) management believes that substantial additional virgin
veins exists in the Sixteen to One mine, the Company has no ability to measure
using the mathematical tools generally recognized in the mining industry;
however, the company can prove that approximately eighty percent (80%) of its
vein system has not been developed.
(c) Governmental Regulation
The attached financial statements have not been audited by a Securities
Exchange Commission (SEC) accounting firm due to the existence of an unpaid
bill. Therefore, the Company is not in compliance with this SEC regulation
for companies listed on an exchange.
Mining is generally subjected to regulation by state and federal authorities.
State and federal statutes regulate environmental quality, safety, exploration
procedures, reclamation, employees health and safety, use of explosives, air
quality standards, pollution of stream and fresh water sources, noxious
odors, noise, dust, and other environmental protection controls as well as the
rights of adjoining property owners. Laws may change preventing or delaying
the commencement or continuance of given operations.
The Company is substantially in compliance with all known safety and
environmental standards and regulations. There can be no assurance that future
changes in the laws, regulations or reckless interpretations thereof will not
have a material adverse effect.
(d) Liquidity
Gold inventory at December 31, 2010, was $372,199, primarily as specimens or
gold held as jewelry. While history of actual cash sales supports an
inventory value exceeding the spot price, no such increases are used to compute
the inventory. The difference in the recorded value and the actual cash value
is a significant increase in determining asset value but cannot be included on
the balance sheet due to accounting rules. All inventory of raw material is
recorded at spot price per troy ounce. In addition, contract manufacturing
costs of jewelry are included in the finished jewelry inventory. Periodic
shortfalls in liquidity occur which are not likely to be bridged by
institutional debt financing. Management addresses these issues as they arise.
(e) Price of Stock
Bids and offers are publicly recorded on the stock page of the Company's web
site. Exposure is limited. The price of stock may not accurately reflect its
fair market value because of the limited marketplace. The company maintains
no program to support or promote its stock and is unlikely to conduct a program
until a public marketplace is secured.
There are conflicting bids, offers and trades between the Company's website
and the unregulated Pink Sheet Gray Market, ticker symbol OSTO. Because of
these discrepancies the market price is unpredictable.
ITEM 2: PROPERTIES
Properties
The Sixteen to One mine was incorporated into Original Sixteen to One Mine, Inc.
in 1911. Properties acquired prior to 1925 are carried on the Company's books
at their original purchase price and are fully amortized through depletion.
In 1999, the Company acquired the Plumbago mine in the Alleghany Mining
District, which is located approximately two miles southeast of the Sixteen to
One mine. The property includes a twenty-acre patented claim, mineral rights to
eight patented claims and sixteen unpatented claims. The property has a
history of rich gold production. The Company will pursue the potential within
this property when funding becomes available for exploration and development.
On June 22, 2005, the Company acquired the mineral rights to fourteen claims,
the patent rights to one claim and the mill of the Gold Crown mine, adjacent to
the Sixteen to One Mine. The Board of Directors decided that it is a long-term
investment and important to the long-term welfare of the Company.
No depletion has been applied to the Gold Crown or Plumbago properties.
The Brown Bear Mine was listed with Coldwell Banker at Trinity Alps Realty on
May 27, 2009. Escrow opened with a related party on November 17, 2009 with a
sale price of $580,000. Escrow closed in January 2010. The company has a
three-year option to buy back the property.
The Alleghany properties consist of 26 patented claims (470 acres), 160 acres of
mineral rights on patented claims and approximately 320 acres of unpatented
claims. The following table sets forth further information with respect to the
Company's mining claims.

ITEM 3: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In July the Company and its president were served a complaint for damages in
Superior Court of the State of California, County of Sierra by the California
Regional Water Quality Control Board, Central Valley Region. Both defendants
filed an answer on August 20, 2009 denying that the state is entitled to any
damages. Sierra County Superior Court Case No. 7019. Discovery is in process.
On January 6, 2010, the California Department of Conservation, formerly the
Division of Mines and Geology filed a complaint for statutory reporting and
mining fees and penalties alleging failures by the Company. Various Public
Resources Code Sections were cited substantially related to surface mining.
On March 24, 2010, the Company filed verified answers denying any wrongdoing.

ITEM 6: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
Balance Sheet
Original Sixteen to One Mine, Inc. is a distinct company in that it is the
only operating company of its kind remaining in the United States. Management
believes that the assets of the Company are understated. Gold inventory is
recorded at spot price despite proven additional value for specimen and gem-
stone material which is substantially greater than spot price. On hand jewelry
is recorded at labor plus gold cost.
No value is recorded on the balance sheet for timber. The company owns 470
acres of prime forested timberland. No value is recorded on the balance sheet
for the Company owned water-rights. Reduced value is recorded on the balance
sheet for buildings, equipment and land. No value is recorded on the balance
sheet for marketable aggregate and decorative stone currently stockpiled on the
property. No value is recorded on the balance sheet for goodwill. Fixed assets
are recorded at historic cost less depreciation.
Balance Sheet
Balance Sheet Comparisons
(a) Comparisons of 2010 with 2009.
Assets:
For the one-year period ended December 31, 2010:
Current assets decreased by $44,611 (10%) due primarily to a decrease in
inventory which was sold to maintain operations.
Mining property decreased by $297,354 (52%) due to the sale of the Brown Bear
Mine. (see note 4 at end of financial statements).
Vehicles decreased by $149,714 (58%) and equipment decreased by $114,839 (12%)
due to the write-off of old vehicles and equipment no longer in use. These
assets were fully depreciated. The write-off of these assets along with all
accumulated depreciation, combined with new depreciation of $17,414, resulted
in the net decrease of $16,044 in Fixed Assets.
Liabilites:
For the one-year period ended December 31, 2010:
Accounts payable & accrued expenses increased by $169,063 (26%) due primarily
to increases in accounts payable and accrued wages.
Notes due to related parties reflects a decrease of $342,707 (53%) primarily
due to an advance on the sale of the brown bear mine that was posted to this
account in 2009 and applied to the sale of the asset in Jan. 2010 with the
closing of escrow.
Notes payable due within one year decreased by $58,700 (100%) as the note to
Gold Country Lenders was satisfied.
Statement of Operations
(b) Comparison of 2010 with 2009
Income:
For the one-year period ended December 31, 2010 compared to the one-year period
ended December 31, 2009 revenue decreased by $56,306 (28%) due to more sales
in 2009 than 2010.
Operating Expenses:
For the one-year period ended December 31,2010 compared to the one-year period
ended December 31,2009 operating expenses increased by $325,047 (120%).
A small crew was hired in 2010 to do rehab and maintenance work, the increased
operating expenses related directly to the crew are: Salaries and Wages
increased $132,811 (194%), taxes (includes payroll taxes) increased $16,413
(67%) and insurance increased $38,827 (5,102%) due to an exorbitant worker's,
compensation insurance premium. The increased activity at the mine also
resulted in an increase in utilities of $28,279 (65%), supplies increased
$70,878 (487%), small equipment and repairs increased $6,112 (55%), drayage
increased $12,866 (84%), compliance/safety increased $1,998 (152%), and other
operating expensed increased by $19,286 (174%).
Other Expenses:
Other expenses decreased by $205,983 (85%) primarily due to less interest
expense in 2010 than 2009.
Other Income:
Other income increased by $209,380 (208%) due primarily to the gain on the sale
of the Brown Bear Mine.
For the one-year period ended December 31, 2010 the company showed a loss of
$181,063 compared to a loss of $215,873 for the same period in 2009. The 16%
difference can be attributed to the sale of the Brown Bear Mine.
The basic and diluted loss per share of .01 per share was about the same for
both years. The number of shares used in the 2010 calculation was 13,399,505
and for the 2009 calculation 13,373,505 shares were used.
(c) Comparison of 2009 with 2008
Income:
For the one-year period ended December 31, 2009 compared to the one-year period
ended December 31, 2008 revenue increased by $92,583 (87%). This was due
primarily to a large sale of inventory in the third quarter of 2009 to a
related-party lender. The company has an option to buy back the material.
Expenses:
For the one-year period ended December 31, 2009 compared to the one-year period
ended December 31, 2008 operating expenses decreased by $112,897 (29%) this
was mainly due to a decrease in legal expenses of $84,231.
For the one-year period ended December 31, 2009 the company showed a loss of
$215,873 compared to a loss of $368,330 for the same period in 2008. The 41%
difference can be attributed to higher income and lower expenses in 2009.
The basic and diluted loss per share is .01 per share in 2009 compared to
a basic and diluted loss per share of .02 in 2008.

Correspondent.
Andrew Yeiser ~ Director
Andrew Yeiser has taken an active interest in Original Sixteen to One Mine for
19 years. In 1992, at Michael Miller's request, he took his ground penetrating
radar (GPR) equipment in the mine to investigate the possibility of using GPR
to locate gold deposits at distances greater than the range of metal detectors.
The concept was proven by the detection of echoes from 600 feet away. "The
mountain is transparent to radar!" was the surprised remark of Lamber Dalphin,
Stanford Research Institute's GPR expert who assisted him. The proof of
concept was successful, yet the equipment had been designed for surface use and
was not suitable for use in a mine.
Mr. Yeiser holds a BA in Physics from MIT and a MA in Physics from UC Berkely.
He is a professor Emeritus in Computer Engineering at UCLA and UCI and has
taught classes around the world. His management experience includes: project
manager of the Polaris Atomic Submarine satellite navigation computer, ANBRN-1,

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Business: Original Sixteen to One Mine, Inc. (the Company) was
incorporated in 1911 and is actively involved in operating a gold mine in
Alleghany, California; currently on maintenance status. In accordance with
directive from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)and Industry Guide
7, reference for all intent and purposes to the Company's employees as miners,
its properties as mines or its operation as mining does not diminish the fact
that the Company has no proven reserves and is in the "exploration state" as
defined in Guide 7(a)(4)(iii).
Inventory: Inventory consists of gold bullion, specimens and jewelry. Gold
bullion and specimens are quoted at the market price for gold bullion. (PM
London Fix on the last day of the quarter.) The quarterly valuation adjustment
to inventory is recorded as an expense when the value decreases and as revenue
when the value increases and is combined with Gold Sales Revenue on the
Condensed Income Statement. This serves the dual purpose of fairly presenting
the value of the gold inventory on the balance sheet and adjusts Cost of Goods
Sold to reflect the actual spot gold price. Jewelry is quoted at the market
price for the gold content plus labor cost. Gold Bullion and jewelry are
accounted for using the FIFO method. Specimens are accounted for using the
specific identification method.
Fixed Assets: Fixed assets are stated at historical cost. Depreciation is
calculated using straight-line and accelerated methods over the following
useful lives: Vehicles 3 to 5 years, Equipment 5 to 7 years, Buildings 18 to
31.5 years.
Depletion Policy: Because of the geological formation in the Alleghany Mining
District, estimates of ore reserves currently cannot be calculated, and
accordingly, a cost per unit depletion factor cannot be determined. Should
estimates of ore reserves become available, the units of production method of
depletion will be used. Until such time, no depletion deduction will be
recorded.
Revenue Recognition: As they are mined, gold specimens are recorded in
inventory and revenue is recognized using quoted market prices for gold.
For income tax purposes revenues are not recognized until the gold is sold.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts
of 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 these estimates.
