PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

ITEM 13 – OTHER EXPENSES OF ISSUANCE AND DISTRIBUTION

ITEM 14 – INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

The Company's Bylaws and Articles of Incorporation (the "Certificate of Incorporation") provide that we shall, to the full extent permitted by the Nevada General Business Corporation Law, as amended from time to time (the "Nevada Corporate Law"), indemnify all of our directors and officers. Section 78.7502 of the Nevada Corporate Law provides in part that a corporation shall have the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

Similar indemnity is authorized for such persons against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred in defense or settlement of any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and provided further that (unless a court of competent jurisdiction otherwise provides) such person shall not have been adjudged liable to the corporation. Any such indemnification may be made only as authorized in each specific case upon a determination by the stockholders or disinterested directors that indemnification is proper because the indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct. Under our Certificate of Incorporation, the indemnitee is presumed to be entitled to indemnification and we have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption. Where an officer or a director is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, we must indemnify him against the expenses which such offer or director actually or reasonably incurred. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

ITEM 15 – RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES

In the past three years, we have offered and sold the following securities in unregistered transactions pursuant to exemptions under the Securities Act.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2009, the Company issued 7,161,500 shares of our common stock on the exercise of common share purchase warrants for aggregate proceeds of Cdn$1,289,070. The shares of our common stock were issued upon exercise of the warrants to certain accredited investors pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of Securities Act provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, an exclusion from such registration requirements provided by Regulation S under the Securities Act and in each case pursuant to state and local securities laws and regulations.

On February 5, 2010, to permit the Company to exercise the Option, the Company, the Debtholders and Nevada Eagle entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Option Agreement (“Amendment No. 1”) pursuant to which, amongst other items, (i) the Company obtained the right, in lieu of the $500,000 cash payment, to issue a $500,000 promissory note to the Debt holders payable on the earlier of the receipt of proceeds $500,000 from a contemplated private placement or February 19, 2010; (ii) to delete certain unmet conditions required to be satisfied by Gryphon in connection with the exercise of the Option; and (iii) update the schedule of properties listed to secure repayment of the Amended Note. The securities were issued upon exercise of the warrants to certain accredited investors pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

As consideration for entering into Amendment No. 1, on February 5, 2010, the Company and the Debt holders entered into an Option Consideration Agreement (the “Option Consideration Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to (i) issue the Debtholders 1,500,000 shares of our common stock of Gryphon and (ii) amend the terms of the Amended Note to reduce the conversion price (the “Amendment Consideration”), which Amendment Consideration was subject to obtaining Toronto Stock Exchange approval and, if required by the Toronto Stock Exchange, stockholder approval (the “Approvals”). The conversion price of Amended Note was amended upon receipt of such Approvals to be convertible at $0.60 per share from February 5, 2010 through March 30, 2010, at $0.70 per share from March 31, 2010 through March 30, 2011 and at $0.80 per share from March 31, 2011 to March 30, 2012. The securities were issued upon exercise of the warrants to certain accredited investors pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

On February 5, 2010, we exercised the Option to restructure the Convertible Note by converting $2,500,000 of principal of the Convertible Note, through the issuance of 4,000,000 shares of our common stock and a promissory note in the principal amount of $500,000 to the Debt holders, and issuing the Amended Note for the remaining $2,500,000 of principal of the Convertible Note to the Debt holders due and payable on March 30, 2012. The securities were issued pursuant to an exemption from registration in reliance upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

On February 18, 2010, we closed the private placement announced on January 22, 2010 and issued 10,897,353 units at a purchase price of Cdn.$0.17 per unit for gross proceeds of $1,762,701 (Cdn$1,852,550). Each unit consists of one share of common stock and one half of one common stock purchase warrant. Each whole common stock purchase warrant is exercisable for a period of two years from the date of closing of the private placement to purchase one additional share of common stock at an exercise price of US$0.25. The units were offered for sale directly by the Company. In connection with the private placement, the Company has paid qualified registered dealers cash commissions in the aggregate amount of $162,003 (Cdn$170,261) and has issued to such qualified registered dealers compensation options to acquire up to 990,500 shares of common stock of the Company, exercisable at a price of US$0.21 for a period of up to twelve months from the date of closing of the private placement. The units were placed outside the United States pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act under Rule 903 of Regulation S of the Securities Act on the basis that the sale of the units was completed in an "offshore transaction", as defined in Rule 902(h) of Regulation S. In determining the availability of this exemption, Gryphon relied on representations made by the investors in the subscription agreements pursuant to which the units were purchased.

On June 16, 2010, we closed the private placement with Sage and issued 1,464,429 units at a purchase price of Cdn.$0.14 per unit for gross proceeds of $200,000 (Cdn.$205,000). Each unit consisted of one share of common stock and one half of one common stock purchase warrant. Each whole common stock purchase warrant is exercisable for a period of two years from the date of closing of the private placement to purchase one additional share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.20. The units were offered for sale directly by us. The proceeds of this offering were applied to fund the continuation of our exploration and development programs. The shares of our common stock were issued pursuant to an exemption from registration in reliance upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

On August 23, 2010, we issued 1,500,000 shares of its common stock to Gerald W. Baughman and Fabiola Baughman (the “Baughmans”) pursuant to the terms of an Option Consideration Agreement by an between the Company and the Baughmans, dated February 5, 2010 (the “Option Consideration Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Option Consideration Agreement and in order to satisfy the requirements of the Toronto Stock Exchange, the issuance of the shares of our common stock to the Baughmans was subject to approval by Gryphon’s stockholders at Gryphon’s next meeting of stockholders. On August 20, 2010, stockholders approved the issuance of the shares of our common stock to the Baughmans. The shares of our common stock were issued pursuant to an exemption from registration in reliance upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

On January 21, 2011, we closed a private financing and raised net proceeds of approximately $1.3 million. The Company issued 6,500,000 units in a private placement, each unit consisting of one share of its common stock and one-half of a warrant to purchase a share of its common stock. The warrants are exercisable for a period of twenty-four months following the date of issuance at an exercise price of $0.30 per share. The purchasers of the units are entitled to registration rights on the shares of common stock and warrants. The units were placed outside the United States pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act under Rule 903 of Regulation S of the Securities Act on the basis that the sale of the units was completed in an "offshore transaction", as defined in Rule 902(h) of Regulation S. In determining the availability of this exemption, Gryphon relied on representations made by the investors in the subscription agreements pursuant to which the units were purchased.

On May 20, 2011, in connection with the exercise of an option to fix the royalty on our Borealis Project at 5%, we issued a $1.6 million promissory note, due May 20, 2013, with installment payments due upon commencement of production on the Borealis Property; 7,726,250 shares of common stock and a 5% convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of $1,909,500, due May 20, 2014, convertible into shares of Gryphon common stock at $0.70 per share through May 20, 2012, $0.80 per share through May 20, 2013 and $0.90 per share through May 20, 2014. These securities were issued to accredited investors pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

On July 27, 2011, we closed a Cdn$3,000,000 private placement of units at price of Cdn$1,000 per Unit. The offering was conducted by a lead agent in Canada and by a U.S. agent in the United States. Each Unit consists of Cdn$1,000 principal amount of 10% secured subordinated debentures maturing July 28, 2012 and 1,500 warrants. Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one common share in the capital of the Company at a price of $0.20 per share. The Warrants expire on January 27, 2013. The shares of our common stock were issued pursuant to an exemption from registration in reliance upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

On November 22, 2011, we closed a Cdn$4,479,000 private placement of units at a price of Cdn$1,000 per unit. The offering was conducted by a lead agent in Canada and by a U.S. agent in the United States. Each unit consists of Cdn$1,000 principal amount of 10% secured subordinated debentures maturing November 22, 2012 and 750 warrants. Each warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one common share in the capital of the Company at a price of $0.40 per share. The warrants expire on May 22, 2013. The securities were issued pursuant to an exemption from registration in reliance upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

On March 20, 2012, we entered into a Bridge Loan facility with Waterton Global Value, L.P for $1,500,000 (the “Bridge Loan”). The Bridge Loan was to be paid within 60 days or be subject to immediate repayment from the $15,000,000 Senior Facility. Security for the Bridge Loan was a perfected lien and a first priority security interest in all tangible and intangible properties and assets of Gryphon Gold. The Bridge Loan accrued interest at a rate of 15% rate and was subject to a $30,000 structuring fee as well as the issuance of 1,500,000 warrants, each entitling the lender to purchase one common share of Gryphon Gold stock at a strike price of 115% of the 5-day volume weighted average price of Gryphon’s common stock on the date of the agreement but provided that the price will not exceed $0.20 per share. The warrants expire on the third anniversary of their issue date. The securities were issued pursuant to an exemption from registration in reliance upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

In conjunction with the Bridge Loan, the noteholders of the July and November 2011 debentures were issued an aggregate total of 14,955,308 warrants, each exercisable to acquire our common shares at a price of $0.164 for a period of 18 months. The securities were issued pursuant to an exemption from registration in reliance upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

On April 18, 2012, we entered into a Senior Secured Gold Stream credit facility with Waterton Global Value, L.P. (the “Senior Facility”). The monthly repayments will be based on a formula using 80% of the gold spot price as the value of gold. As part of the Senior Facility, we entered into a Gold and Silver Supply Agreement with Waterton Global Value, L.P. whereby Waterton Global Value, L.P. has the right to purchase all of the gold and silver produced by BMC at the Borealis property. The Gold and Silver Supply agreement is effective from the closing date of the Senior Facility until the Borealis Property ceases operations. The proceeds were used to repay the Bridge Loan of $1,500,000 entered into with Waterton Global Value, L.P. in March 20, 2012 as well as our Cdn$3,000,000 10% subordinated secured notes, due in July of 2013, and our Cdn$4,500,000 10% subordinated secured notes, due November 27, 2013. The Senior Facility accrues interest at a rate of 5% per annum. On September 24, 2012, we and Waterton amended our Senior Facility, to increase Waterton’s commitment amount under the Senior Facility by $5 million, bringing the aggregate borrowings under the Senior Facility from $15 million to $20 million. Under the amended Senior Facility, amounts drawn down from the Senior Facility will be repayable in monthly payments beginning in December 2012 and ending in November 2014, with initial payments being approximately $50,000 per month and increasing to approximately $900,000 per month in March 2013 through to the end of the term in November 2014. The monthly repayments will be based on a formula using 80% of the gold spot price as the value of gold. On each repayment date, we may pay the monthly repayment amount in gold to Waterton’s gold account, or, if requested by Waterton, pay the amount in cash. We intend to use the remaining proceeds for working capital and additional capital expenditures related to our Borealis Project. We anticipate that the remaining proceeds from the amended Senior Facility and cash flow from operations will be sufficient to fund our cash requirements to achieve full production and processing capabilities at the Borealis Project. Senior Facility is secured by a first priority charge on the assets of Gryphon Gold and BMC. In addition, we issued an aggregate of 14,062,500 share purchase warrants were issued to Waterton in connection with the Senior Facility. Each warrant is exercisable at a price of Cdn$0.16 to acquire one common share in the capital share of the Registrant and expire three years from the date of issuance The securities were issued pursuant to an exemption from registration in reliance upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

ITEM 17 – UNDERTAKINGS

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) (§230.424(b) of this chapter) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

(iii)     To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

(3)     That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(4)     To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(5)     That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
