Nature of Operations and Going Concern

     

Lake Victoria Mining Company, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on December 11, 2006 under the laws of the State of Nevada. The Company’s administrative office is located in Vancouver, Canada. The Company is an Exploration Stage Company, as defined by Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 915, Development Stage Entities. The Company has been in the exploration stage since inception and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations.

     

The principal business of the Company is to search for mineral deposits or reserves which are not in either the development or production stage. The Company is conducting exploration activities on gold and uranium properties located in Tanzania.

     

As of June 30, 2012, none of the Company’s mineral property interests had proven or probable reserves as determined under the requirements of SEC Industry Guide No. 7. Planned principal activities have not yet begun. The ability of the Company to emerge from the exploration stage with respect to any planned principal business activity is dependent upon its successful efforts to raise additional debt or equity financing and/or attain profitable mining operations. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $17,071,966 incurred through June 30, 2012. The Company also has no revenues. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management intends to seek additional capital from new equity securities offerings that will provide funds needed to continue the exploration for gold and uranium. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or that it can be obtained on terms acceptable to the Company and its shareholders. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue as a going concern.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     
a)

Basis of Presentation

     

These consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in U.S. dollars. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Kilimanjaro Mining Company, Inc. (“Kilimanjaro”), Lake Victoria Resources Company, (T) Ltd., Jin 179 Company Tanzania Ltd. and Chrysos 197 Company Tanzania Ltd. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Company’s fiscal year-end is March 31.

     

These interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Form 10-Q. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Therefore, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended March 31, 2012, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed June 29, 2012 with the SEC.

     

The financial statements included herein are unaudited; however, they contain all normal recurring accruals and adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position at June 30, 2012, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. The results of operations for the period ended June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future quarters or the full year.

     
b)

Use of Estimates

     

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses in the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to long-lived assets, mineral property costs, asset retirement obligations, stock-based compensation, financial instrument valuations and deferred income tax asset valuations. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

     
c)

Business Combinations

     

The Company follows the guidance in ASC 805, Business Combinations, and ASC 810, Consolidation. The net loss attributable to non-controlling interest recognized during the period from December 11, 2006 (date of inception) to June 30, 2012 was previously the minority interest held by certain passive shareholders at the consolidated financial statement level of Kilimanjaro, and whose interests were eliminated for accounting purposes by the August 7, 2009 share exchange agreement. The Company, after August 7, 2009, had no further non-controlling interests. As of June 30, 2012, a cumulative loss of $8,719,455 had been attributed to the non-controlling interest of the Company’s controlled subsidiary.

     
d)

Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share

     

The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share, which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti dilutive. As of June 30, 2012, the Company had 45,209,901 potentially dilutive securities outstanding.

     
e)

Cash and Cash Equivalents

     

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance or may be redeemed without significant penalties to be cash equivalents.

     

As of June 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company has approximately $16,000 and $691,000, respectively, deposited at FDIC insured banks in the United States. FDIC deposit insurance covers the balance of each depositor’s account up to $250,000 per insured bank.

     

As of June 30 2012 and 2011, the Company has approximately $147,000 and $624,000 deposited in Canada including $33,655 (CAD$ 34,500) and $Nil, respectively, of guaranteed investment certificates bearing variable interest at primate less 2.05% which is restricted in use for corporation credit cards.

     

As of June 30, 2012, the Company has Tanzania shillings of 32,856,000 (approximately $20,371) and $31,839 deposited in Tanzania. The Deposit Insurance Board in Tanzania insures up to 1,500,000 Tanzanian Shillings (approximately $930 as of June 30, 2012) per customer per bank. Any amount beyond the basic insurance amount may expose the Company to loss.

     
f)

Property and Equipment

     

Property and equipment consists of mining tools and equipment, furniture and equipment and computers and software which are depreciated on a straight line basis over their expected lives of five years.

     
g)

Mineral Property Costs

     

Under US GAAP mineral property acquisition costs are ordinarily capitalized when incurred using FASB ASC Topic 805-20-55-37, Whether Mineral Rights are Tangible or Intangible Assets. The carrying costs are assessed for impairment under ASC Topic 360-10-35-21, Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long- Lived Assets, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying costs may not be recoverable. The Company expenses as incurred all property maintenance and exploration costs.

     

The Company also evaluates the carrying value of acquired mineral property rights in accordance with ASC Topic 930-360-35-1, Mining Assets: Impairment and Business Combinations, using the Value Beyond Proven and Probable (VBPP) method. The fair value of a mining asset generally includes both VBPP and an estimate of the future market price of the minerals.

     

When the Company has capitalized mineral property costs, these properties will be periodically assessed for impairment of value. Once a property reaches the production stage, the related capitalized costs will be amortized, using the units of production method. The Company records its interests in mining properties and areas of geological interest at cost. The Company has capitalized mineral properties costs of $548,200 and $556,750 as at June 30 and March 31, 2012, respectively.

Summary of Significant Accounting Principles (continued)

     
h)

Long-Lived Assets

     

In accordance with ASC 360, Property Plant and Equipment the Company tests long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life. Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset and the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as well as specific appraisal in certain instances. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds fair value.

     
i)

Asset Retirement Obligations

     

The Company accounts for asset retirement obligations in accordance with the provisions of ASC 440, Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations which requires the Company to record the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability in the period in which it incurs a legal obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and/or normal use of the assets. The Company did not have any asset retirement obligations as of June 30, 2012.

     
j)

Financial Instruments

     

ASC 825, Financial Instruments requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 825 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 825 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:

     

Level 1

     

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

     

Level 2

     

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

     

Level 3

     

Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

     

The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, advances and deposits, accounts payable, accounts payable to related party and other payables.

     

Pursuant to ASC 825, the fair value of cash and cash equivalents are determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The Company believes that the recorded values of advances and deposits, accounts payable, accounts payable to related party and other payables approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective relatively short maturity dates or durations.

Foreign Currency Translation

     
 

The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated to United States dollars in accordance with ASC 740, Foreign Currency Matters, using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income.

     
 

To the extent that the Company incurs transactions that are not denominated in its functional currency, they are undertaken in Canadian dollars and the Tanzanian Schilling. A portion of business transactions in Tanzania and mineral option purchase agreements are denominated in Tanzanian Schilling.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

     
o)

Stock-Based Compensation

     

The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Based Compensation and ASC 505, Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense based on estimated fair values for all share-based awards made to employees and directors, including stock options.

     

ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model as its method of determining fair value. This model is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of subjective variables. These subjective variables include, but are not limited to the Company’s expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviours. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense in the statement of operations over the requisite service period.

     

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.

     
p)

Recent Corporate Developments

Since the commencement of the three month period ended June 30, 2012, we experienced the following significant corporate developments:

  1.

At Kahama South, we have commenced a ground magnetic survey and a geologic mapping program of the 245 square kilometer project.

     
  2.

In July 2012, the Company received results from the recent core drilling program at Kiabakari East project in northeastern Tanzania. The four hole drill program, completed in June 2012, totaled 648.72 meters and was the first drilling. Final drill hole locations were determined by detailed geologic mapping, geophysical surveying and trench sampling. Drilling was focused at BIF Hill where previous trenching returned significant gold grades within Banded Iron Formation rocks (Refer Press Releases of 6th February and 23th April 2012). The drill holes were located on the south side of BIF hill and were spaced 40 meters apart on N- S drill fences. The holes, drilled due north at angles of -50 and -55 degrees below the horizontal, were designed to test the grade and to define the geometry of the gold mineralization.

Our Current Business

We are an exploration stage corporation focused on acquiring, exploring and developing gold deposits in the Lake Victoria Greenstone Belt in Tanzania, East Africa. We hold prospective gold projects, consisting of 27 Prospecting Licenses (PLs) and 71 Primary Mining Licenses (PMLs) and five uranium projects consisting of 9 Prospecting and Reconnaissance Licenses plus two licenses currently under application, within its Tanzania property portfolio, covering approximately 1,326 square kilometers (563,153 acres). We carry out our business by acquiring, exploring and evaluating mineral properties through our ongoing exploration program. Following exploration, we intend to either advance them to a commercially feasible mining stage, enter joint ventures to further develop these properties, sell or dispose of them if the properties do not meet our requirements. Our properties are all early stage exploration properties. Within our mineral exploration land in Tanzania our focus is primarily on gold, although our portfolio also contains uranium prospects.

We have no revenues, we have incurred losses since inception and we have relied upon the sale of our securities to fund operations. To date, we have not discovered a commercially viable ore body, mineral deposit or mineral reserve on any of our properties and we will be unable to do so until further exploration is done and a comprehensive evaluation concludes an economic and legal feasibility study.

Our property portfolio is large, therefore we may interest other companies in our properties to either participate by means of option or joint venture agreements in the exploration of them or to finance and establish production if mineralization is found.

Prospective Gold Projects

The following is a brief overview of portfolio of prospective mineral properties, the exploration developments on them where applicable and some of the details of the historical option agreements for them. During the three months ended June 30, 2012, our exploration work was primarily concentrated on the Uyowa and the Kiabakari East Project.

Musoma Bunda Murangi Gold Project

Exploration Strategy


No exploration was undertaken on the Kinyambwiga (PL 4653/2007) , Suguti (PL PL3966/2006 ) and Murangi (PL4511/2007) licences during the quarter. A new artisanal mining site has recently being exploited 1 kilometer along strike to the east of Kanunga2.

Future work

Kinyambwiga (PL 4653/2007)

The anomalous stone layer as encountered from previous RAB drilling during 2009 as well as the soil anomaly over the school requires further investigation. A number of auger drill traverses are planned to test the strike towards the SW where a number of anomalous soil samples have been indicated (Map 1).

A scoping study leading into a possible small scale mining operation of the Kanunga 1 Prospect is currently being considered.

Map 1: Kanunga 1 East and School soil anomalies

Suguti (PL PL3966/20Future Exploration Further exploration is to be focused mainly at Target 1 and 3 across the known soil anomalies (Map 2). Infill soil sampling, including Auger drilling over mbuga covered areas, has been undertaken along 200 meter N-S traverse line on 10 meter sample intervals in order to define the present soil anomalies. To date 157 samples including 84 auger drill samples, have been collected and are pending submission to SGS laboratories Mwanza. Results will determine whether a trenching programme is warranted across the targets.


Additional auger drill sampling is planned to be undertaken on the 200 ppb gold anomaly as well as the strike extensions of Zone 1,2 and 3 of Target 1 where no sampling has yet been undertaken (Map 2).

Map 2: Current state of exploration on the Suguti Licence showing present coverage of Auger drill and soil sampling across 3 target areas.

Murangi(PL4511/2007)

Future Exploration

Exploration is to be focused primarily on 5 ground magnetic targets (Map 3) in which the following work is to be undertaken::

i. Mapping of the target areas on 1:2000 scale
ii.  Gradient IP survey across the entire license
iii Auger drilling, with the Company’s recently purchased Auger Rig, across each of the Ground magnetic and IP Targets to soil sample beneath the “mbuga” cover.

Map 3. Target generation map of the Murangi PL4511/2007 based on ground magnetic interpretation.

Singida Gold Project

Future exploration

An evaluation of the Reverse Circulation drill results for both Phase 1 and 2 programs undertaken during 2010 and 2011 has shown that gold mineralization at the Singida-Londoni project consists of narrow medium to low grade and often discontinuous lenses. The shear structures hosting the gold-rich zones typically “pinch and swell” along strike, which in places, has resulted in larger pods of limited size as at Sambaru 3 and Sambaru 4 which indicates that the gold deposits have limited potential to be developed into a major ore resource contrary to the Company’s vision of discovering substantially larger and economically viable gold deposits in the short term. In this regard, the Company believes that the nature and extent of the mineralization revealed thus far may lend itself rather towards a small-scale commercial mining operation. The Company intends to explore the possibilities of undertaking a small scale mining operation on a number of PMLs once a scoping study has been completed.,

Kiabakari East (PL7142/2011)

The Kiabakari East Project is located approximately 55 kilometers southeast of Musoma town, in the Mara Region. The PL, covering 15.2 square kilometers and lying within the central part of the Musoma-Mara Greesntone Belt, was granted to Lake Victoria Resources by the Ministry of Mines in April 2011.

The PL was previously investigated by Randgold Resources who excavated a number of N-S trenches across a small hill, rising some 50 meters above the landscape, comprising of Banded Iron Formation (BIF Hill) rocks in the central to southern part of the PL. They also undertook 3 N-S drill fences, totalling 24 reverse circulation drill holes, along strike to the east of the BIF hill. No information is currently available. Minor artisanal mining activities are present on the BIF hill. Recently, the eastern part of the license at the Kyarano Prospect has been invaded by + 500 artisanal miners who have exposed a NNE-SSW trending gold bearing structure hosted by a quartz porphyry dyke within a metasedimentary rock sequence.


Exploration Strategy

The following exploration work has been completed across the Kiabakari East License:

  • Landsat Imagery for the license area and surrounding environs.
  • Detailed mapping
  • Trenching (342.7 meters) including the re-opening of existing trenches as well as new trenches were mapped and sampled across BIF Hill
  • Regional geological mapping
  • In-house ground magnetic surveying along 200 meter spaced N-S traverse lines
  • In-house Gradient IP Survey was undertaken along the same grid as used for the ground magnetic survey
  • Regional rock sampling of specific localities on the PL
  • Termite sampling
  • Soil sampling – regional sampling on 200 meter x 50 meter centers utilizing the geophysics grid

Schlumberger Survey- Schlumberger VES N-S and E-W profiles were undertaken across BIF Hill and the artisanal workings at the Kyarano Prospect respectively (Table 1, Map 4).

*Significant IP anomalies


Inconsistent IP results were noted from the surveys undertaken across the Kyarano workings which failed to distinguish the pyritised quartz porphory rock

A distinct chargeability with low resistivity, situated some 100m north of the interpolated strike extensions of the mineralised BIF unit, was noted from a number of E-W Schlumberger profiles undertaken across BIF Hill (Table 1).

Diamond drilling

A total of 4 inclined diamond drill holes, amounting to 648.72 meters, was collared on the southern side of BIF Hill on 40 meter spaced N-S drill fences and drilled to the north at declinations of 50 and 55 degrees to test and define the geometry of the BIF hosted gold mineralization, comprising of chert, siltstone and greywackes (Table 2).

Each borehole was drilled across the BIF package of rocks comprising of cyclic sequences of siltstone and banded cherts having an overall width of 80 meters, until the footwall pebble conglomerate unit was encountered on the northern side of the hill. The BIF unit dips steeply to the south. Although occasional intraformational sedimentary slump breccias are present, the unit has been complexly folded. A possible NNE trending fault is present which appears to have displaced the eastern part of the ore shoot some 40 meters to the north as well as being responsible for down-throwing the BIF unit to the east (Map 5).

Map 5. Plan of BIF Hill showing results of trench and drill holes and interpolated position of NNE fault.

Massive sulphides, consisting of syngenetic magnetite and pyrrhotite-rich bands occur throughout the BIF unit. Crackle brecciation and fracturing is more common in the brittle chert beds which are often infilled with later pyrrhotite and/or pyrite mineralization. Gold is associated with the sulphide filled fractures as well as within zones of massive pyrite and, to a lesser extent, massive pyrrhotite mineralization.

All the core was cut in half by a rock saw with the half core (or quarter core if over wider intervals of >1 meter) being sampled according to the intervals as per geologic log. Strict quality control has been maintained in which 5% of the sample batch, comprising 20 samples, contained a blank, a Commercail Standard and a duplicate. The samples batches were submitted to SGS Laboratory Mwanza for 50gm Fire assay.


Results

The limited drill programmer of 648.72 meters intersected wide zones of anomalous gold mineralization throughout all four boreholes drilled including 1.03 g/t gold over 37.50 meters and 0.58g/t Au over 43.35 meters, inclusive of higher grade intersections of 1.75 g/t gold over 6.13 meters and 2.05 g/t over 3.00 meters. Mineralized intercepts are summarized in Table 3 below.

The gold mineralization, having been offset by the NNE fault, plunges steeply to the east. Anomalous gold mineralization of greater than 250 ppb gold was encountered over substantial widths in each of the boreholes with improved grades being intersected in the deeper whole (KED004) drilled to the east. Mineralization is open down dip and along strike both to the west and down plunge to the east (Map 6).

Kyarano Prospect

The Kyarano Prospect, located on the eastern side of the Kiabakari East Permit, is a recent and active artisanal site in which upto +500 illegal miners have been present. Shafts, aligned along a NNE trend were sunk into a quartz porphyry/felsite “dyke” rock for a strike distance of some 400 meters. Mining activities decreased as flooding of the shafts occurred from 15-20 meters below ground. A number of the shafts were sampled and assayed for gold by 50 gm fire assay, results of which are shown in Table 4 and Map 4.

Diamond drilling

A short drilling programme was been planned to test the NNE trending pyritic quartz felsite porphyry at the Kyarano Prospect located on the eastern side of the project area some 1.5 kilometres east of BIF Hill. Two boreholes, collared 240 meters apart on E-W drill fences (Table 2) are to test the area 80 meters beneath the active artisanal workings in order to examine the hosting lithologies and alteration associated with this known gold mineralisation. However, due to budget constraints, the two diamond drill holes previously planeed to test the Kyarano Prospect, were not drilled.


NW Prospect

A number of old trenched were discovered in the northwestern corner of the licence immediately south of the granite – greenstone contact (Map 7).

Map 7. Aerial photograph of the trench excavations undertaken by Rand Gold in the NW part of the Kibakari East Licence (after Google Earth).

The area is underlain by BIF rocks comprising of chert and siltstone rocks. It is cut by a N-S trending quartz diorite dyke. Two areas of artisanal mining have exposed highly oxidized and leached sulphidic zones within the BIF rocks. A number of grab samples were collected and Fire assayed for gold by SGS Laboratories Mwanza (Table 5) .

Future exploration


Once the Diamond drilling programme has been completed, the following field exploration is planned:

Repeat and infill sampling on 50 meter x 25 meter grids are planned to validate and define the current soil anomalies. Previous termite sampling to the south of BIF Hill and the Kyarano Prospect which returned anomalous values but were not reflected in the surrounding soils, are to be further investigated by pitting in order to determine the validity of the gold values derived from the termite mounds.

A Reverse circulation drill programme is planned to develop a gold resource at both BIF Hill and the Kyarano prospect 

Uyowa Gold Project

Introduction

The Uyowa Gold project, located 120 kilometers northwest of Tabora town, consists of seven (7) Prospecting Licenses (PLs) that initially cover a total area of 729.73 square kilometers in the west-central area of Tanzania.

However, many of the licences in the Uyowa project were due for renewal during 2011 and according to Governmnet degree, 50% of the areas were relinquished reducing the total land package to 421.75 square kilometers (Map 8).

Map 8: Current licence distribution of the Uyowa Project

Exploration has been mainly focused in the northern license blocks PL 3425/2007 and PL5153/2008 of Target 3 (Map 9). PL5153/2008 was previously investigated by Ashanti Gold in 2003, in which they undertook 999 meters of Reverse Circulation drilling. The area is now an active artisanal mining site.


Exploration

Exploration on the Uyowa Project commenced in the 1st quarter of 2011 and to date the following work has been undertaken:

Diamond drilling

The 1459 meter diamond drill program , primarily aimed at defining and understanding the structural controls of the 4 gold veins across 300 meters of strike length within the central to western parts of the 1700 meter long E-W shear zone, was undertaken from March to May 2012. The 11 hole program, planned on 40 meter spaced N-S sections, also tested the down-dip extensions of mineralization to a vertical depth of some 150 meters. A total of 1459 meters was drilled in 11 boreholes (Table 6, Map 13 ).

Map 13: Diamond drill collar plan


Drilling has revealed that the gold mineralization is hosted by a number of semi-continuous ductile shears zones of up to 7 meters wide and containing disseminated pyrite mineralization, dipping between 55 to 70 degrees to the north. In all sections, the mineralized gold zones have been traced to vertical depths of 100 meters and are open at depth.

A “twin” hole was drilled to compare the gold grades and widths in order to increase gold grade confidence of the previous RC drilling results and to work towards establishing a gold resource.

A single diamond drill hole was drilled at either end of the known mineralized zone, confirming the presence of the mineralized shear zone continuing out along strike both to the east and to the west.

All borehole samples across the mineralized zones have been split, sampled and submitted to SGS Laboratories Mwanza for 50 gm Fire assay. Strict quality control was maintained with 5% of each of the sample batches having a blank, duplicate and Commercial standard inserted as part of the sample stream.

Results

Notable results include: 27.3 g/t Au over 0.40 meters, 16.3g/t over 0.35 meters, 3.05g/t Au over 4 meters and 2.21 g/t Au over 6 meters are shown in Table 7.

Drilling successfully intersected the mineralized lenses as identified from the RC drill program of August 2011. Diamond drilling has further defined the geometry of the mineralized zones to comprise of 2 gold lenses, situated approximately 25 meters apart, dipping moderately to the north at 65 degrees. The dip of the 2 lenses steepens to 75 degrees further along strike to the east (Map 14). The southern lens is the more dominant of the two gold structures in having both a higher gold grade and a more continuous strike length. Gold mineralization is hosted by pyrite within narrow ductile shear zones having a maximum intersected width of upto 7.8 meters.

Map 14. Distribution and location of shear hosted gold structures as defined both by RC and diamond drilling.



The distribution of gold in Lens 2 suggests that there are 3, equally spaced gold “shoots” of approximately 80 meters broad plunging at 30 degrees to the west which are open at depth (Map 15). A left lateral fault on the western side of the main drilling target has offset the strike of the lenses by some 100 meters. Some of the highest gold intercepts, which have been reported from drilling, occur in the western shoot. The central and eastern ore shoots appear to have lower overall gold grades and narrower intercepts.

Future exploration

PL3425/2007

  • Ground truthing of Landsat and ASTER imaging by following up on a number of iron alteration zones
  • Field investigation and follow up sampling/pitting/trenching on the soil anomalies as delineated from the earlier soil sampling program completed in 2011.
  • Selected Gradient IP surveys and Schlumberger VES profiling across delineated ground magnetic targets.
  • RAB/RC drilling over prioritized targets.

PL5153/2008

Interpretation of the ground magnetic survey suggests the presence of a graben structure that coincides with the last of the artisanal workings on the western side of known mineralized zone. The area, unlike the artisanal site where laterite is often exposed on surface, is overlain by sand cover for some 500 meters to the west before lateritic soils are again present suggesting possible continuation of the mineralized trend further to the west. Landsat imagery clearly shows area of laterite and lateritic soil over the area. Based on the recent soil geochemistry results, follow up specific soil sampling is planned across the interpolated trend of gold mineralization to both the west and east of the artisanal workings covering a total strike length of 3.5 kilometers as shown in Map 16.

Conventional soil sampling is planned across areas of lateritic soil cover. Initially a RAB program had been recommended to test the intervening areas covered by black cotton soil (“mbuga’). However, prior to embarking on such a program, an orientation survey using enzyme geochemistry has been recommended as a trial study over a portion of the area to be sampled. Should results be positive further sampling incorporating this geochemical method will continue to be used to outline the gold anomaly.


Follow-up investigation using possibly both methods of soil sampling will be undertaken across a number of ground magnetic targets (Map 17) in order to priorities targets for later testing by RAB drilling.

Reverse Circulation drilling has been planned to undertake infill drilling on 40 meters spaced N-S sections across the artisanal site in order to undertake a resource calculation. Furthermore, part of the program will also focus on testing the soil anomaly along strike.

Handeni Gold Project

The Handeni Project initially comprised of three (3) Prospecting Licenses and covering a total area of 200.59 square kilometers (Table8), is located approximately 240 kilometers by road north-west of Dar es Salaam and some 30 kilometers south of Handeni town within the Handeni District (Map 18). Subsequent exploration has resulted in both the Amani (PL7002/2011) and the Mkulima (PL4816/2007) being relinquished and the properties have been returned to their prospective owners. The Company has retained 100% of the mineral rights of the remaining PL4816/2007.

Exploration

No exploration was undertaken on the Handeni Project during the quarter.

Future exploration

An infill soil sampling programme on 100 meter x 25 meter grid is recommended across the Mkulima Hill (188 samples) in order to better define the apparent gold anomalies prior to planning a trenching programme across the main anomalous zones (Map 19). Should a trenching programme be warranted, further soil sampling on 100 meter x 50 meter grid is proposed around the hill on 200 meter x 50 meter grid (623 samples) to increase the area of investigation and strike extend of the gold anomalies (Table 9 , Map 19).

North Mara Gold Projects

The North Mara Gold Project, comprising of 10 Prospecting licences and covering 585.07 square kilometers, have been divided into 3 blocks, namely the Tarime, Nyabigena and the Kubiasi Kiserya project areas which includes the Kiagata Project. A recent addition to the North Mara Gold project is the Maji Moto licence (HQ-P23869), located28 kilometers to the SW of the African Barrick, North Mara Gold mine.Kiagata Project (PL 4225/2006)

The Kiagata project, located within the North Mara Greestone belt, is situated in the Musoma District and is about 30 kilometers from Musoma Town, the main commercial hub in the area. The project is located immediately south of the Mara river and west of the Serengeti National Park.

A reconnaissance survey involving mapping, termite sampling, and selected soil and rock sampling were carried out but results suggest that no gold mineralization is present on the property. The licence is to be relinquished.

Kubiasi Kiserya (PL4833/2007)

The Kiserya project is located in northeastern Tanzania approximately 18 kilometers southeast from African Barrick’s North Mara Gold Mine, within the N Mara Gold Belt. The licence lies adjacent to the Mara River and to the north of the Serengeti Game Reserve. The northern and western parst of the licence are underlain by greenstone rocks that tend to crop out as series of large hills that dot the surrounding plains. The remainder of the licence is underlain by granite. Little to no colluvium of black clay “mbuga” is present.

Exploration

No exploration activities were undertaken during the quarter

Future Exploration

  Exploration is to be focused on investigating:
i. Anomaly 1, located along the granite/metavolcanic contact that has been cut by a prominent NW-SE shear zone (Map 20). Active artisanal workings occur along the shear zone some 500 meters NW of the licence.
ii. The E-W striking quartz veins in Anomalies 2 and 3 which returned anomalous gold values
iii. The N-S trending Anomaly 4.



iv.

The quartz vein that returned 5.15 g/t gold on the northern slope of Kiterere Hill in the Eastern part of the Prospect.

v.

The old colonial shaft at the base of Getangana Hill

Mapping, trenching and possible Schlumberger VES profiling are planned to complete this phase of exploration.

Maji Moto HQ-P23869 

A recent acquisition to the N Mara group of licences is the Maji Moto licence that was awarded to the Company by the Ministry of Mines through application and tender in April 2012.

The licence is situated in the N Mara Greenstone Belt (Eastern Musoma Goldfields) approximately 28 kilometers to the SW of African Barrick’s N Mara Gold Mine (Map 21). Three artisanal gold mining sites are known on the licence.

Exploration

Exploration has not yet commenced on the licence.


Map 21:. Location map of Maji Moto HQ-P23869


Note: HQ-O23869 is the Application number. The licence has yet to be allocated a PL number by the Ministry. 

Future exploration

The following exploration strategy (Phase 1) will be followed as soon as a field camp is established on site:

  • Regional ground Magnetic surveyRegional mapping of the licenceRegional soil sampling on 200 meter x 50 meter sample gridDetailed mapping and soil/rock sampling at and around the artisanal sitesSchlumberger profiles across the known artisanal sites

Phase 2 will be dependant on the results achieved from the Phase 1 exploration programme

Acquisition of Prospecting Licenses in Tanzania

General

The following is a discussion and analysis of our plan of operation and results of operations for the three month period ended June 30, 2012, and the factors that could affect our future financial condition. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated unaudited financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this quarterly report. Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. All references to dollar amounts in this section are in United States dollars unless expressly stated otherwise.


Plan of Operation

As of June 30, 2012, we had negative working capital of approximately $210,000. We plan to spend approximately $50,000 for our property acquisitions and holding costs and $200,000 for exploration activities for the next twelve months, with work being conducted on several projects including soil sampling, trenching and drilling. We will need to raise additional funds to finance the exploration activities on our projects. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or that it can be obtained on terms acceptable to the Company and its shareholders. Our estimated expenses over the next twelve months are as follows:

Cash Requirements during the Next Twelve Months

                                                                             Expense ($)
Property acquisition and holding costs 50,000
Exploration expenses 200,000
Professional fee 150,000
General and administration fee 500,000
Total 900,000

There is no historical financial information about us upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. We are an exploration stage corporation and have not generated any revenues from operations. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business operations. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources, possible delays in the exploration of our properties, possible cost overruns due to price and cost increases for services and economic conditions. Because the Company does not currently derive any production revenue from operations, its ability to conduct exploration and development on properties is largely based upon its ability to raise capital by equity funding.

Our exploration objective is to find an economic mineral body containing gold. Our success depends upon finding mineralized material. This includes a determination by our contracted consultants and professional staff whether the property contains resources and/or reserves. Mineralized material is a mineralized body, which has been delineated by appropriately spaced drilling or underground sampling to support sufficient tonnage and average percentage grade of metals to justify removal. If we don’t find mineralized material or we cannot remove mineralized material, either because we do not have the money to do so or because it is not economically feasible to do so, we will cease operations or seek other properties.

Revenue

We had no operating revenues for the three month period ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. We anticipate that we will not generate any revenues until we generate additional financing to support our planned operations.


Operating Costs and Expenses

The major components of our expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 are outlined in the table below:

Total Expenses   1,238,495     403,656  

General and Administrative Expenses

The Company reported a loss of $1,238,495 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared with a loss of $403,656 for same period in fiscal 2011. The increased loss in the current period is mainly attributed to increased exploration costs and stock-based compensation.

The $21,421 increase in our general and administrative expenses for the three month period ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the same period in fiscal was primarily due to increase in licenses holding costs and salary.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Current Assets $  267,023   $  586,592  
Current Liabilities   476,910     219,879  
Working Capital $  (209,887 ) $  366,713  

Cash Flows

    Three Months Ended  
    June 30, 2012  
Cash used in Operating Activities $  (622,444 )
Cash used in Investing Activities   (331 )
Cash provided by Financing Activities   286,975  
Net Increase (Decrease) in Cash $  (335,800 )

We had a cash balance of approximately $188,000 and negative working capital of $210,000 as of June 30, 2012 compared to cash of $523,000 and working capital of $367,000 as of March 31, 2012. The decrease of cash balance and working capital primarily due to cash spent on exploration and development. We anticipate that we will incur approximately $900,000 for operating expenses, including professional, legal and accounting expenses during the next twelve months. Accordingly, we will need to obtain additional financing in order to complete our full business plan.

Going Concern

The unaudited financial statements accompanying our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that our company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. Our company has not generated revenues since inception and has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends or generate earnings in the immediate future. The continuation of our company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from our shareholders, the ability of our company to obtain necessary equity financing to achieve our operating objectives, and the attainment of profitable operations. As of June 30, 2012, we had a cash balance of approximately $188,000 and we estimate that we will require approximately $650,000 for general and administration costs and professional fees, and $250,000 for property acquisition holding and exploration costs associated with our plan of operation over the next twelve months. We do not have sufficient funds for general and administration activities and planned mineral property acquisition and exploration activities and therefore we will be required to raise additional funds. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or that it can be obtained on terms acceptable to the Company and its shareholders.


The advancement of our business is dependent upon us raising additional financial support. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.

Future Financings

We had an approximate cash balance of $188,000 and negative working capital of $210,000 as of June 30, 2012 compared to a cash balance of $523,000 and working capital of $367,000 as of March 31, 2012 and we estimate that we will require approximately $900,000 for costs associated with our plan of operation over the next twelve months. Accordingly, we do not have sufficient funds for planned operations and we will be required to raise additional funds for operations. We intend to raise additional funds from another equity offering or loans. At the present time, we are attempting to raise additional money, but there is no assurance that we will be successful. If we need additional funds and are unable to raise them, we will have to suspend or cease operations until we succeed in raising additional funds.

Outstanding shares and options

As of August 14, 2012, we have 111,770,733 shares of common stock outstanding, 9,520,000 stock options outstanding and 35,689,901 warrants outstanding.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no 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 are material to stockholders.

Risks And Uncertainties

Much of the information included in this quarterly report includes or is based upon estimates, projections or other “forward looking statements”. Such forward looking statements include any projections and estimates made by us and our management in connection with our business operations. While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the direction of our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions or other future performance suggested herein.

Such estimates, projections or other “forward looking statements” involve various risks and uncertainties as outlined below. We caution the reader that important factors in some cases have affected and, in the future, could materially affect actual results and cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed in any such estimates, projections or other “forward looking statements”.

Risks Associated with Mining

All of our properties are in the exploration stage. There is no assurance that we can establish the existence of any mineral resource on any of our properties in commercially exploitable quantities. Until we can do so, we cannot earn any revenues from operations and if we do not do so we will lose all of the funds that we expend on exploration. If we do not discover any mineral resource in a commercially exploitable quantity, our business could fail.


Despite exploration work on our mineral properties, we have not established that any of them contain any mineral reserve, nor can there be any assurance that we will be able to do so. If we do not, our business could fail.

A mineral reserve is defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission in its Industry Guide 7 (which can be viewed over the Internet at http://www.sec.gov/divisions/corpfin/forms/industry.htm#secguide7) as that part of a mineral deposit which could be economically and legally extracted or produced at the time of the reserve determination. The probability of an individual prospect ever having a “reserve” that meets the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Industry Guide 7 is extremely remote; in all probability our mineral resource property does not contain any ‘reserve’ and any funds that we spend on exploration will probably be lost.

Even if we do eventually discover a mineral reserve on one or more of our properties, there can be no assurance that we will be able to develop our properties into producing mines and extract those resources. Both mineral exploration and development involve a high degree of risk and few properties which are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines.

The commercial viability of an established mineral deposit will depend on a number of factors including, by way of example, the size, grade and other attributes of the mineral deposit, the proximity of the resource to infrastructure such as a smelter, roads and a point for shipping, government regulation and market prices. Most of these factors will be beyond our control, and any of them could increase costs and make extraction of any identified mineral resource unprofitable.

Mineral operations are subject to applicable law and government regulation. Even if we discover a mineral resource in a commercially exploitable quantity, these laws and regulations could restrict or prohibit the exploitation of that mineral resource. If we cannot exploit any mineral resource that we might discover on our properties, our business may fail.

Both mineral exploration and extraction require permits from various foreign, federal, state, provincial and local governmental authorities and are governed by laws and regulations, including those with respect to prospecting, mine development, mineral production, transport, export, taxation, labour standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, land use, environmental protection, mine safety and other matters. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain or maintain any of the permits required for the continued exploration of our mineral properties or for the construction and operation of a mine on our properties at economically viable costs. If we cannot accomplish these objectives, our business could fail.

We believe that we are in compliance with all material laws and regulations that currently apply to our activities but there can be no assurance that we can continue to remain in compliance. Current laws and regulations could be amended and we might not be able to comply with them, as amended. Further, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain or maintain all permits necessary for our future operations, or that we will be able to obtain them on reasonable terms. To the extent such approvals are required and are not obtained, we may be delayed or prohibited from proceeding with planned exploration or development of our mineral properties.

Our business activities are conducted in Tanzania.

Our mineral exploration activities in Tanzania may be affected in varying degrees by political stability and government regulations relating to the mining industry and foreign investment in that country. The government of Tanzania may institute regulatory policies that adversely affect the exploration and development (if any) of the Company’s properties. Any changes in regulations or shifts in political conditions in this country are beyond the control of the Company and may adversely affect its business. Investors should assess the political and regulatory risks related to the Company’s foreign country investments. Our operations may be affected in varying degrees by government regulations with respect to restrictions on production, price controls, export controls, foreign exchange controls, income taxes, expropriation of property, environmental legislation and mine safety.

We may not have clear title to our properties.


Acquisition of title to mineral properties is a very detailed and time-consuming process, and the Company’s title to its properties may be affected by prior unregistered agreements or transfers, or undetected defects. Several of the Company’s prospecting licenses are currently subject to renewal by the Ministry of Energy and Minerals of Tanzania. In result, there is a risk that we may not have clear title to all our mineral property interests, or they may be subject to challenge or impugned in the future. We have exploration licenses. We do not have a license to mine any minerals or reserves whatsoever at this time on any part of our properties. Once exploration has advanced to a point where mining on one or more of our properties is feasible, we plan to apply for a mining license or licenses.

If we establish the existence of a mineral resource on any of our properties in a commercially exploitable quantity, we will require additional capital in order to develop the property into a producing mine. If we cannot raise this additional capital, we will not be able to exploit the resource, and our business could fail.

If we do discover mineral resources in commercially exploitable quantities on any of our properties, we will be required to expend substantial sums of money to establish the extent of the resource, develop processes to extract it and develop extraction and processing facilities and infrastructure. Although we may derive substantial benefits from the discovery of a major deposit, there can be no assurance that such a resource will be large enough to justify commercial operations, nor can there be any assurance that we will be able to raise the funds required for development on a timely basis. If we cannot raise the necessary capital or complete the necessary facilities and infrastructure, our business may fail.

Mineral exploration and development is subject to extraordinary operating risks. We do not currently insure against these risks. In the event of a cave-in or similar occurrence, our liability may exceed our resources, which would have an adverse impact on our company.

Mineral exploration, development and production involve many risks, which even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome. Our operations will be subject to all the hazards and risks inherent in the exploration for mineral resources and, if we discover a mineral resource in commercially exploitable quantity, our operations could be subject to all of the hazards and risks inherent in the development and production of resources, including liability for pollution, cave-ins or similar hazards against which we cannot insure or against which we may elect not to insure. Any such event could result in work stoppages and damage to property, including damage to the environment. We do not currently maintain any insurance coverage against these operating hazards. The payment of any liabilities that arise from any such occurrence would have a material adverse impact on our company.

Mineral prices are subject to dramatic and unpredictable fluctuations.

We expect to derive revenues, if any, either from the sale of our mineral resource properties or from the extraction and sale of precious and base metals such as gold, silver and copper. The price of those commodities has fluctuated widely in recent years, and is affected by numerous factors beyond our control, including international, economic and political trends, expectations of inflation, currency exchange fluctuations, interest rates, global or regional consumptive patterns, speculative activities and increased production due to new extraction developments and improved extraction and production methods. The effect of these factors on the price of base and precious metals, and therefore the economic viability of any of our exploration properties and projects, cannot accurately be predicted.

The mining industry is highly competitive and there is no assurance that we will continue to be successful in acquiring mineral claims. If we cannot continue to acquire properties to explore for mineral resources, we may be required to reduce or cease operations.

The mineral exploration, development, and production industry is largely un-integrated. We compete with other exploration companies looking for mineral resource properties. While we compete with other exploration companies in the effort to locate and acquire mineral resource properties, we will not compete with them for the removal or sales of mineral products from our properties if we should eventually discover the presence of them in quantities sufficient to make production economically feasible. Readily available markets exist worldwide for the sale of mineral products. Therefore, we will likely be able to sell any mineral products that we identify and produce.

In identifying and acquiring mineral resource properties, we compete with many companies possessing greater financial resources and technical facilities. This competition could adversely affect our ability to acquire suitable prospects for exploration in the future. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will acquire any interest in additional mineral resource properties that might yield reserves or result in commercial mining operations.


If our costs of exploration are greater than anticipated, then we may not be able to complete the exploration program for our Tanzanian properties without additional financing, of which there is no assurance that we would be able to obtain.

We are proceeding with the initial stages of exploration on our Tanzanian properties. We are carrying out an exploration program that has been recommended by a consulting geologist. This exploration program outlines a budget for completion of the recommended exploration program. However, there is no assurance that our actual costs will not exceed the budgeted costs. Factors that could cause actual costs to exceed budgeted costs include increased prices due to competition for personnel and supplies during the exploration season, unanticipated problems in completing the exploration program and delays experienced in completing the exploration program. Increases in exploration costs could result in our not being able to carry out our exploration program without additional financing. There is no assurance that we would be able to obtain additional financing in this event.

Because of the speculative nature of exploration of mining properties, there is substantial risk that no commercially exploitable minerals will be found and our business will fail.

We are in the initial stages of exploration of our mineral property, and thus have no way to evaluate the likelihood that we will be successful in establishing commercially exploitable reserves of gold, silver or other valuable minerals on our Tanzanian properties.

The search for valuable minerals as a business is extremely risky. We may not find commercially exploitable reserves of gold, silver or other valuable minerals in our mineral property. Exploration for minerals is a speculative venture necessarily involving substantial risk. The expenditures to be made by us on our exploration program may not result in the discovery of commercial quantities of ore. The likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays encountered in connection with the exploration of the mineral properties that we plan to undertake. Problems such as unusual or unexpected formations and other conditions are involved in mineral exploration and often result in unsuccessful exploration efforts. In such a case, we would be unable to complete our business plan.

Because our executive officers have limited experience in mineral exploration and do not have formal training specific to the technicalities of mineral exploration, there is a higher risk that our business will fail.

Our executive officers have limited experience in mineral exploration and do not have formal training as geologists or in the technical aspects of management of a mineral resource exploration company. As a result of this inexperience, there is a higher risk of our being unable to complete our business plan for the exploration of our mineral property. With no direct training or experience in these areas, our management may not be fully aware of many of the specific requirements related to working within this industry. Our decisions and choices may not take into account standard engineering or managerial approaches mineral resource exploration companies commonly use. Consequently, the lack of training and experience of our management in this industry could result in management making decisions that could result in a reduced likelihood of our being able to locate commercially exploitable reserves on our mineral property with the result that we would not be able to achieve revenues or raise further financing to continue exploration activities. In addition, we will have to rely on the technical services of others with expertise in geological exploration in order for us to carry out our planned exploration program. If we are unable to contract for the services of such individuals, it will make it difficult and maybe impossible to pursue our business plan. There is thus a higher risk that our operations, earnings and ultimate financial success could suffer irreparable harm and our business will likely fail.

Risks Relating to Our Common Stock

If we issue additional shares in the future, it will result in the dilution of our existing shareholders.

Our articles of incorporation authorize the issuance of up to 250,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.00001 per share. Our board of directors may choose to issue some or all of such shares to acquire one or more businesses or to provide additional financing in the future. The issuance of any such shares will reduce the book value and market price of the outstanding shares of our common stock. If we issue any such additional shares, such issuance will reduce the proportionate ownership and voting power of all current shareholders. Further, such issuance may result in a change of control of our corporation.


Our common stock is illiquid and shareholders may be unable to sell their shares.

There is currently a limited market for our common stock and we can provide no assurance to investors that a market will develop. If a market for our common stock does not develop, our shareholders may not be able to re-sell the shares of our common stock that they have purchased and they may lose all of their investment. Public announcements regarding our company, changes in government regulations, conditions in our market segment or changes in earnings estimates by analysts may cause the price of our common shares to fluctuate substantially. In addition, stock prices for junior mineral exploration companies fluctuate widely for reasons that may be unrelated to their operating results. These fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of our common shares.

Penny stock rules will limit the ability of our stockholders to sell their stock.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors”. The term “accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock.

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, has adopted sales practice requirements which may also limit a shareholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for its shares.

Because of the early stage of development and the nature of our business, our securities are considered highly speculative.

Our securities must be considered highly speculative, generally because of the nature of our business and the early stage of our development. We are engaged in the business of identifying, acquiring, exploring and developing commercial reserves of primarily gold and potentially uranium. Our properties are in the exploration stage only and are without known reserves of gold and/or uranium. Accordingly, we have not generated any revenues nor have we realized a profit from our operations to date and there is little likelihood that we will generate any revenues or realize any profits in the short term. Any profitability in the future from our business will be dependent upon locating and developing economic reserves of gold and/or uranium, which itself is subject to numerous risk factors as set forth herein. Since we have not generated any revenues, we will have to raise additional monies through the sale of our equity securities or debt in order to continue our business operations.


We do not intend to pay dividends on any investment in the shares of stock of our company.

We have never paid any cash dividends and currently do not intend to pay any dividends for the foreseeable future. To the extent that we require additional funding currently not provided for in our financing plan, our funding sources may prohibit the payment of a dividend. Because we do not intend to declare dividends, any gain on an investment in our company will need to come through an increase in the stock’s price. This may never happen and investors may lose all of their investment in our company.

Risks Related to Our Company

Our by-laws contain provisions indemnifying our officers and directors.

Our by-laws provide the indemnification of our directors and officers to the fullest extent legally permissible under the Nevada corporate law against all expenses, liability and loss reasonably incurred or suffered by them in connection with any action, suit or proceeding. Furthermore, our by-laws provide that our board of directors may cause our company to purchase and maintain insurance for our directors and officers, and we have implemented director and officer insurance coverage.

Because most of our directors and officers are residents of other countries other than the United States, investors may find it difficult to enforce, within the United States, any judgments obtained against our directors and officers.

Most of our directors and officers are nationals and/or residents of countries other than the United States, and all or a substantial portion of such persons’ assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to enforce within the United States any judgments obtained against our officers or directors, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Not Applicable.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

As required by Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated our company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, these disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by our company in reports it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities Exchange Commission and to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our company’s management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The conclusion that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective was due to the presence of the following material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting which are indicative of many small companies with small staff: (i) inadequate segregation of duties and effective risk assessment; and (ii) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of both United States generally accepted accounting principles and Securities and Exchange Commission guidelines. Management anticipates that such disclosure controls and procedures will not be effective until the material weaknesses are remediated.

We plan to take steps to enhance and improve the design of our internal controls over financial reporting. During the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, we have not been able to remediate the material weaknesses identified above. To remediate such weaknesses, we plan to implement the following changes during our fiscal year ending March 31, 2013, subject to obtaining additional financing: (i) appoint additional qualified personnel to address inadequate segregation of duties and ineffective risk management; and (ii) adopt sufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting. The remediation efforts set out above are largely dependent upon our securing additional financing to cover the costs of implementing the changes required. If we are unsuccessful in securing such funds, remediation efforts may be adversely effected in a material manner.


It should be noted that while our management believes our disclosure controls and procedures provide a reasonable level of assurance, they do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived or operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of internal control is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three month period ended June 30, 2012 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.

In April, 2012 we completed a first closing of a private placement of 14,285,000 shares at a price of $0.06 per share for gross proceeds of $857,100. We issued an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares to one subscriber that each represented that it was not a US person (as that term is defined in Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933) in an offshore transaction pursuant to Regulation S and/or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and an additional 12,285,000 shares to eight accredited investors, who represented that they were each a “US Person” as defined in Regulation S, pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D and/or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. Proceeds of the private placement are intended to be applied to the Company’s ongoing work program on its mining projects, continued exploration for new projects and general working capital.
