Goldrich Mining Company
(An Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
1.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
The unaudited financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information, as well as the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Companys management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial statements have been included. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2011.
For further information refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Net Loss Per Share
Basic EPS is computed as net income available to common shareholders after dividends to preferred shareholders, divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through stock options, warrants, and other convertible debt and securities. The dilutive effect of vested convertible and exercisable securities would be:
| March 31, | March 31, |
For periods ended | 2011 | 2010 |
|
|
|
Convertible preferred stock | 1,050,000 | 2,550,000 |
Stock options | 3,065,000 | 3,065,000 |
Warrants | 5,851,803 | 1,946,681 |
Convertible notes payable in gold | 0 | 722,304 |
Total possible dilution | 9,966,803 | 8,283,985 |
For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010, the effect of the Companys outstanding options and common stock equivalents would have been anti-dilutive.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to conform prior periods presentation to the current presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on the results of operations or stockholders equity (deficit).
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Significant estimates used in preparing these financial statements include those assumed in estimating the recoverability of the cost of mining claims, accrued remediation costs, beneficial conversion features of convertible debt, fair value of warrants, and deferred tax assets and related valuation allowances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION, CONTINUED:
Fair Value Measures
Our financial instruments consist principally of cash, equipment notes payable and notes payable in gold. These instruments do not require recurring re-measurement at fair value.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For the purposes of the balance sheet and statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be a cash equivalent.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized, net of treatment and refining charges, from a sale when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price is determinable, the product has been delivered, the title has been transferred to the customer and collection of the sales price is reasonably assured.
2.
GOING CONCERN
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company is an exploration stage company and has incurred losses since its inception and does not have sufficient cash at March 31, 2011 to fund normal operations and meet debt obligations for the next 12 months. The Company raised $255,666 net cash proceeds from the exercise of warrants during the quarter ended March 31, 2011, but still requires additional cash to execute its exploration plans and meet its debt obligations in the next twelve months.
The Company currently has no historical recurring source of revenue and its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Companys ability to raise capital to fund its future exploration and working capital requirements or its ability to profitably execute its mining plan. The Companys plans for the long-term return to and continuation as a going concern include financing the Companys future operations through sales of its common stock and/or debt and the eventual profitable exploitation of its mining properties. Additionally, the current capital markets and general economic conditions in the United States are significant obstacles to raising the required funds. In addition, the Company does not have sufficient gold to satisfy notes payable in gold which will mature in the next twelve months. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.
The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. If the going concern basis was not appropriate for these financial statements, adjustments would be necessary in the carrying value of assets and liabilities, the reported expenses and the balance sheet classifications used.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Pursuant to the terms of his contract, the Companys former Chief Operating Officer had previously elected to accrue fees owed to him until such time as the Company has sufficient cash reserves to pay them. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2011, the Company accrued no additional fees, and has accrued a total of $278,239 in fees and expenses as of the end of the quarter. The Companys President and Chief Executive Officer had previously elected to defer his salary. The Company has accrued no additional compensation and expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2011, and had accrued a total of $171,290 deferred compensation and expenses as of the end of the quarter, all of which was paid subsequent to the end of the quarter.
Additionally, an amount of $82,512 has been accrued for fees and expenses due to the Companys Chief Financial Officer at March 31, 2011, of which $27,225 was accrued in the quarter then ended. The entire amount due to the Chief Financial Officer was paid subsequent to the end of the quarter. A total of $56,762 has been accrued for directors and related party consultants, of which $20,258 was accrued in the quarter ended March 31, 2011.
Total interest expense recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2011 for notes payable in gold with related parties, including the amortization of discounts on those notes, was $17,782.
4.
NOTES PAYABLE IN GOLD
At March 31, 2011, the Company had total outstanding notes payable in gold of $660,714, less unamortized discounts of $62,089 for a net liability of $598,625, with 406.178 ounces of fine gold deliverable at November 30, 2011, and 219.894 ounces of alluvial gold deliverable at November 1, 2012. The Company did mine sufficient gold to meet its 2010 gold deliveries but chose to sell the gold to fund operations. The Company did not make the required 2010 payments on these notes by delivering the contracted gold to the holders of the notes payable in gold, which represented default on those agreements. In January and February 2011, the Company alleviated the default conditions arising from the non-delivery of the gold in 2010 by agreements with note holders to convert defaulted notes to shares of common stock, or to extend terms of gold deliveries to November 1, 2012.
The Company is not required to purchase gold on the open market to meet delivery obligations. In the event that sufficient gold is not produced to meet future distribution requirements, the Company may be required to renegotiate the terms of the notes with the holders to avoid default on the notes not converted to common stock. A renegotiation or default may require a change in future accounting treatment to that of derivative accounting as required by ASC 815.
Conversion of Notes Payable in Gold Contracts
On January 31, 2011 and February 1, 2011, the Company entered into a series of conversion agreements (the Conversion Agreements) in respect of certain Fine Gold and Alluvial Gold Forward Sales Contracts (the Converted Forward Sales Contracts), accounted for as notes payable in gold previously entered into by the Company. Under the Conversion Agreements, the Company converted 769.59 ounces of alluvial gold and 628.23 ounces of fine gold due under the Converted Forward Sales Contracts into 10,931,982 common shares of the Company. Prior to the conversion of gold into common shares under the Converted Forward Sales Contracts, the Company owed 422.43 ounces of fine gold deliverable in October 2010, 989.49 ounces of alluvial gold deliverable in November 2010 and 611.98 ounces of fine gold deliverable in October 2011, and was in default of the Converted Forward Sales Contracts that required delivery of gold in October and November 2010. As a result of the conversion into common stock, notes payable in gold with a net liability of $1,376,528 were classified as long term debt at December 31, 2010.

NOTES PAYABLE IN GOLD, CONTINUED
Accordingly, by issuing common shares pursuant to the Conversion Agreements, the Company has performed its obligations under the Converted Forward Sales Contracts and is no longer in default and has been released from any liability for default under the Converted Forward Sales Contracts that required delivery of gold in November 2010.
The conversion of notes payable in gold represents a settlement of that debt in the quarter ended March 31, 2011. Notes payable in gold totaling $1,434,125, less unamortized discounts of $54,438 for a net liability of $1,379,687 were converted to 10,931,982 common shares of the Company. At the time of conversion on January 31, 2011 and February 1, 2011, the common shares had a fair value $0.28 per share, or $3,060,955, as measured by the closing price of the Companys stock on the FINRA OTCBB exchange on each of those dates. After giving effect to relief of $29,337 in accrued interest payable to holders under the terms of conditions of default, and $28,442 unamortized discounts related to warrants associated with the converted contracts, the conversion of the notes payable in gold resulted in a loss of $1,623,489, or $0.03 per basic share of outstanding common stock.
Amendment of Notes Payable in Gold Contracts
On February 4, 2011, the Company entered into amendments (the First Amendment) in respect to certain Alluvial Gold Forward Sales Contracts (the Amended Forward Sales Contracts), accounted for as notes payable in gold previously entered into by the Company which were not converted as described in the foregoing summary. Under the terms of the First Amendment, the Company agreed to amend the delivery date of the required quantity of gold from November 1, 2010 to November 1, 2012. In consideration for the amended delivery date, the Company agreed to continue paying interest on the value of the gold that was due November 1, 2010 until the required quantity of gold is delivered or all amounts due under the Amended Forward Sales Contracts are otherwise paid and to increase the interest rate by four percent to a rate equal to the lesser of prime plus eight percent (8%) per annum or twelve percent (12%) compounded annually. Prior to entering into the First Amendment, the Company was in default of its delivery obligations under the Amended Forward Sales Contracts. Accordingly by entering into the First Amendment to the Amended Forward Sales Contracts, the Company is no longer in default and has been released from any liability for default under the Amended Forward Sales Contracts. The interest accrued or paid under the amended interest rates would equate to approximately $22,800 per year. These amended notes give rise to the deliveries of alluvial gold noted in the foregoing paragraphs.

STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY (DEFICIT)
On February 2, 2011, a holder of 250,000 shares Series A Convertible Preferred exercised his conversion right to 1,500,000 shares of common stock. This resulted in no proceeds to the Company, and after conversion, there are 175,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred outstanding which are convertible into 1,050,000 shares of common stock.
On January 31, 2011 and February 1, 2011, the Company issued a total of 10,931,982 common shares for conversion of certain notes payable in gold. See Note 4 Notes Payable in Gold.
On December 20, 2010, the Board of Directors approved a temporary reduction in exercise price for the Series E and Series F warrants to the lesser of $0.20 per share of common stock or 30% discount of market price of the Companys stock. The reduction was effective through January 31, 2011, later amended to February 18, 2011. No warrants were exercised during 2010 under these terms, and in the quarter ended March 31, 2011, a total of 35,000 Series E Warrants and 1,393,332 Series F Warrants were exercised, resulting in net cash proceeds to the Company of $255,666.

Except for historical information, the matters set forth herein, which are forward-looking statements, involve certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ. Potential risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, unexpected changes in business and economic conditions; significant increases or decreases in gold prices; changes in interest and currency exchange rates; unanticipated grade changes; metallurgy, processing, access, availability of materials, equipment, supplies and water; results of current and future exploration and production activities; local and community impacts and issues; timing of receipt and maintenance of government approvals; accidents and labor disputes; environmental costs and risks; competitive factors, including competition for property acquisitions; and availability of external financing at reasonable rates or at all, and those set forth under the heading Risk Factors in our Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 21, 2011. Forward- looking statements can be identified by terminology such as may, will, should, expects, intends, plans, anticipates, believes, estimates, predicts, potential, continues or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, it cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Forward-looking statements are made based on managements beliefs, estimates, and opinions on the date the statements are made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update such forward-looking statements if these beliefs, estimates, and opinions should change, except as required by law.
This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes. The discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations are based upon the unaudited consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of any contingent liabilities at the financial statement date and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis the Company reviews its estimates and assumptions. The estimates were based on historical experience and other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results are likely to differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions, but the Company does not believe such differences will materially affect our consolidated financial position or results of operations. Critical accounting policies, the policies the Company believes are most important to the presentation of its consolidated financial statements and require the most difficult, subjective and complex judgments, are outlined below in Critical Accounting Policies, and have not changed significantly.
Chandalar, Alaska
The Chandalar gold property is currently our only mineral property. It is an exploration stage property. We were attracted to the Chandalar district because of its similarities to productive mining districts, its past positive exploration results, and the opportunity to control multiple attractive gold quartz-vein prospects and adjacent unexplored target areas for large sediment hosted disseminated gold deposits. The gold potential of the Chandalar district is enhanced by similarities to important North American mesothermal gold deposits, a common attribute being a tendency for the mineralization to continue for up to a mile or more at depth, barring structural offset. We believe that our dominant land control eliminates the risk of a potential competitor finding ore deposits located within adjacent claims. Summarily, the scale, number and frequency of the Chandalar district gold-bearing exposures and geochemical anomalies compare favorably to similar attributes of productive mining districts.
Going forward, our primary focus is development of our hard-rock (lode) exploration targets at Chandalar. Subject to sufficient financing, we plan an aggressive diamond-core drilling program on the hard-rock exploration targets which are believed to be the sources of the alluvial gold. The plan calls for about 40 to 45 drill holes totaling about 20,000 feet. Drill hole depths would range from 300 to 700 feet, and the holes would be spread along a five-mile-long mineralized trend that our geological work has identified. The drilling targets are embodied in concepts developed from the technical data that point up the discovery potential for huge, low grade orogenic gold deposits. The Chandalar mineralization can best be classified as orogenic owing to the
13
finely disseminated nature of the gold, close association with sulfides and deposition within an original bedded organic rich (carbon) sedimentary host (Mikado phyllite). The phyllite is highly deformed as a result of tectonic processes. The original sedimentary rocks have been successively altered by multiple phases of metamorphic and hydrothermal alteration which has remobilized gold within the original carbonaceous sediments and into axial fold structures, faults and quartz veins above and peripheral to them.
The Company maintains an extensive file of the prospecting and exploration of the Chandalar Mining district, cataloging documents dated as early as 1904. Most previous work was by mining companies and individuals who were focused on mining the gold placers and quartz veins but who conducted little organized geologically based exploration. Even less attention was given beyond existing vein exposures. There is no reliable accounting of the exploration expenditures over the entire hundred-year period; however, since we (new management) acquired the Company in 2003, $2.468 million of qualifying assessment work has been accomplished (excludes infrastructure, capital equipment, transport cost, and office support). Two drill programs account for a significant portion of the exploration expenditures: a 7,763-foot, reverse circulation, 39-hole reconnaissance-level lode exploration drill program in 2006 and a 15,304-foot, 107-hole reverse circulation placer evaluation drill program in 2007. We also accomplished local mapping of about 40 identified prospect areas; collection and geochemical analyses of approximately 1,400 soil, 1,400 rock, 70 stream sediment and 11 water samples, and preparation of anomaly maps; a trenching program of 45 trenches aggregating of 5,937 feet was of which 4,954 feet exposed bedrock and collection of about 550 trench-wall channel samples; ground magnetometer survey grids of 15 prospect areas, survey lines totaling 28 miles. We have collected and assayed a total of 3,431 surface samples at Chandalar. In addition, approximately 4,500 drill samples have been analyzed.
The Chandalar district has a history of prior production, but there has been no significant recurrent production over the years. Our 2007 exploration work discovered and partially drilled out a large placer gold deposit in the Little Squaw Creek drainage. In 2009, we opened the Little Squaw Creek Gold Mine as a test project. Favorable results lead to the expansion of the mine in 2010. So far, start-up production of the Little Squaw Creek Gold Mine amounts to 2,022 ounces of fine gold. This deposit is geologically characterized as an aggradational placer gold deposit. It is unusual in the sense that it is the only such known alluvial, or placer, gold deposit in Alaska, although many exist in Siberia. Our discovery contrasts to others in Alaska that are commonly known as bedrock placer gold deposits. Aggradational alluvial gold deposits contain gold particles disseminated through thick sections of unconsolidated stream gravels in contrast to bedrock placer deposits where thin but rich gold-bearing gravel pay streaks rest directly on bedrock surfaces. Aggradational placer gold deposits are generally more uniform and thus more conducive to bulk mining techniques incorporating economies of scale. This contrasts with bedrock placer gold deposits where gold distribution tends to be erratic and highly variable. The plan view of our discovery is somewhat funnel-shaped, and as such has been divided into two distinct geomorphological zones: a Gulch, or narrower channel portion, and a Fan, or broad alluvial apron portion.
During the summer of 2009, we permitted and successfully completed a test mining operation on the upper end of the Gulch portion of the Little Squaw Creek alluvial gold deposit. We mined about 40,000 bank cubic yards of glacial overburden and processed through our wash plant about 9,875 bank cubic yards of gold bearing paleo-stream alluvium, yielding approximately 594 ounces of placer gold which was then converted into about 500 ounces of fine gold. During the following winter of 2009/2010, we raised additional funds to ramp-up the Little Squaw Creek Gold Mine into production. That involved substantial infrastructure upgrades, including building a new 30 man mining camp located about two miles from the exploration camp that had been in use since 2004.
The 2010 seasonal mining operation involved stripping an estimated 130,000 bank cubic yards of waste material and the mining and processing through our wash plant of about 31,680 bank cubic yards of gold bearing gravels, yielding about 1,522 ounces of fine gold, making it one of the largest of the approximately 250 placer gold mines in Alaska.
14
At this time, we have initiated an effort to secure up to $2.0 million through a private placement to finance the 2011 seasonal, normally mid-May through mid-September, exploration program which will consist of a core drilling program to build on reverse circulation drilling, trenching, sampling and geo-chemical analysis performed in prior years. We are also looking for a contractor or other qualified company to continue the placer mining operation at the Little Squaw Creek Gold Mine in 2012 and future years. Financing alternatives include, but are not limited to, joint ventures, contract mining with an in-kind or a net profits sharing agreement, or leasing specific claims to a competent operator while retaining a gold production royalty.

2011 Exploration Plans
Our principal exploration target is the newly identified hard-rock stratabound gold target. Subject to obtaining sufficient financing, a 20,000-foot diamond-core drilling program consisting of approximately 40 to 45 drill holes to explore this structure is planned for the 2011 summer field season. The drilling would test a zone of schist, or sequence of schist beds, that our geologists have identified as fertile for discovery of a stratabound type of gold deposit. Our targeted drilling area is approximately 1800 feet wide and over five miles long, where it ends under the Little Squaw Creek alluvial gold deposit. We believe that the erosion of this schist is the source of the alluvial gold in Little Squaw Creek and all of the other creeks in the Chandalar district. An independent contractor would be used for the diamond-core drilling and independent certified laboratories would be used for analyses. The estimated cost for the entire program is approximately 1.5 to 2.0 million dollars.
17
Financial Condition and Liquidity
We are an exploration stage company and have incurred losses since our inception. At this time, we have initiated an effort to secure financing through a private placement to finance our 2011 seasonal exploration program, which will consist of a core drilling program to build on reverse circulation drilling, trenching, sampling and geo-chemical analysis performed in prior years. We anticipate that we will incur the following expenses over the next twelve months as of March 31, 2011:
1.
$1.5 to $2.0 million for 2011 exploration plan
2.
$375,000 for payment of third-party debt obligations
3.
$636,000 for general operating expenses
Failure to raise needed financing could result in us having to scale back or discontinue exploration activities or some or all of our business operations.
Gold prices are at record highs, with continuing upward trends, but the current capital markets and general economic conditions in the United States may be obstacles to raising the required financing. We believe we will be able to secure sufficient financing for further operations and exploration activities of the Company but we cannot give assurance we will be successful in attracting financing on terms acceptable to us, if at all. To increase its access to financial markets, Goldrich intends to seek a listing of its shares on a recognized stock exchange in Canada in addition to its listing on the FINRA OTCBB in the United States.
The audit opinion and notes that accompany our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010, disclose a going concern qualification to our ability to continue in business. The consolidated financial statements for the year then ended have been prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern. Such assumption contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As a result of continuing losses in 2010 and the first quarter of 2011, we have not yet successfully exited this going concern condition. As shown in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010, we incurred losses and negative cash flows from operating activities for the year then ended, and at December 31, 2010, did not have sufficient cash reserves to meet debt obligations and cover normal operating expenditures for the following 12 months. We also had negative working capital of $789,267 at December 31, 2010. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2011, we raised $255,666 through the exercise of warrants under a temporary reduction of exercise price of Class E and Class F warrants to $0.20 per common share. Those funds were used for general corporate purposes during the quarter. Additionally, on January 31 and February 1, 2011, we converted into common stock certain notes payable in gold obligations and have extended to 2012 the gold delivery terms on unconverted notes that required delivery in 2010. As a result of these agreements, the Company has classified those notes as long-term at December 31, 2010 and has rectified the default conditions.
With the exception of gold sales revenue over the past two years, we currently have no historical recurring source of revenue sufficient to support on-going operations. Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet our obligations on a timely basis, to produce enough gold to satisfy our obligations under our notes payable in gold, to obtain additional financing as may be required, or ultimately to attain profitability. Potential sources of cash, or relief of demand for cash, include additional external debt, the sale of shares of our stock, the forward sale of planned gold production at our Chandalar property, or alternative methods such as mergers or sale of our assets. No assurances can be given, however, that we will be able to obtain any of these potential sources of cash. We will require additional cash funding from outside sources to sustain existing operations and to meet current obligations and ongoing capital requirements. We have sufficient cash to fund our administrative operations for at least the next twelve months, however, without additional cash infusions we may not be able to accomplish the full breadth of our 2011 exploration plans, may have to renegotiate the a portion of the third party debt obligations or may be required to sell equipment or other corporate assets.
18
On March 31, 2011, we had total liabilities of $2,367,254 and total assets of $3,237,619. This compares to total liabilities of $3,656,443 and total assets of $3,436,452 on December 31, 2010. As of March 31, 2011, the Companys liabilities consist of $306,659 for environmental remediation and asset retirement obligations, $598,625 in notes payable in gold contracts, $598,644 in equipment notes payable, $283,233 of trade payables and accrued liabilities, $386,720 due to related parties, $171,290 for deferred compensation and $22,083 for dividends payable. Of these liabilities, $1,481,504 is due within 12 months, including $225,032 in the current portion of equipment notes payable and $393,146 representing the current portion of notes payable in gold. The decrease in total liabilities compared to December 31, 2010 is largely due to the conversion of several notes payable in gold contracts to common shares, which increased stockholders equity by approximately $3.1 million. Other changes were due to an increase in accounts payable and other accrued liabilities in anticipation of receipt of cash from the private placement closed subsequent to March 31, scheduled payments on equipment notes payable and an increase in dividends payable to recognize dividends due on converted preferred stock. The decrease in total assets was due to the continuing depreciation of equipment during the quarter ended March 31, 2011, with smaller effects of amortization of prepaid expenses and amortization of the asset recovery obligation asset.
On March 31, 2011 we had negative working capital of $984,180 and stockholders equity of $870,365 compared to $789,267 in negative working capital and negative stockholders equity of $219,991 as of December 31, 2010.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2011, we used cash from operating activities of $221,753 compared to $244,545 for the same quarter of 2010. Increased expenses in exploration expense and other general and administration expense were offset by reductions to management fees and salaries, with other expense categories remaining generally steady period over period.
During the first quarter of 2011, we paid $53,709 in principal on equipment notes and purchased a minor asset for $4,110, whereas in the first quarter of 2010, we invested $446,944 in equipment and took on $933,534 in capital lease and equipment notes payable financing. In the 2011 first quarter, we raised $255,666 net cash proceeds from the exercise of warrants, compared to cash raised in the 2010 first quarter of $208,501 from issuance of common shares and warrants and $325,038 proceeds from entering into notes payable in gold.

Critical Accounting Policies
We have identified our critical accounting policies, the application of which may materially affect the financial statements, either because of the significance of the financials statement item to which they relate, or because they require managements judgment in making estimates and assumptions in measuring, at a specific point in time, events which will be settled in the future. The critical accounting policies, judgments and estimates which management believes have the most significant effect on the financial statements are set forth below:
·
Estimates of the recoverability of the carrying value of our mining and mineral property assets. We use publicly available pricing or valuation estimates of comparable property and equipment to assess the
19
carrying value of our mining and mineral property assets. However, if future results vary materially from the assumptions and estimates used by us, we may be required to recognize an impairment in the assets carrying value.
·
Expenses and disclosures associated with accounting for stock-based compensation. We used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair market value of stock options issued under our stock-based compensation plan, which determines the recognition of associated compensation expense. This valuation model requires the use of judgment in applying assumptions of risk-free interest rate, stock price volatility and the expected life of the options. While we believe we have applied appropriate judgment in the assumptions and estimates, variations in judgment in applying assumptions and estimates used in this valuation could have a material effect upon the reported operating results.
·
Estimates of our environmental liabilities. Our potential obligations in environmental remediations, asset retirement obligations or reclamation activities are considered critical due to the assumptions and estimates inherent in accruals of such liabilities, including uncertainties relating to specific reclamation and remediation methods and costs, the application and changing of environmental laws, regulations and interpretations by regulatory authorities.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Not applicable.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
At the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision of, and with the participation of, the Companys management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a 15(e) and Rule 15d 15(e) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were adequately designed and effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in its reports that it files or submits to the SEC under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in applicable rules and forms.
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have also determined that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow for accurate required disclosure to be made on a timely basis.
Changes in internal controls over financial reporting
During the period covered by this report, there have been no changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

This resulted in no proceeds to the Company, and after conversion, there are 175,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred outstanding which are convertible into 1,050,000 shares of common stock.
The common shares were issued pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, provided by Section 3(a)(9) thereof.
Conversion of Notes Payable in Gold Contracts:
On January 31, 2011 and February 1, 2011, Goldrich Mining Company (the Company) entered into a series of conversion agreements (the Conversion Agreements) in respect of certain Fine Gold and Alluvial Gold Forward Sales Contracts (the Converted Forward Sales Contracts), accounted for as notes payable in gold previously entered into by the Company. Under the Conversion Agreements, the Company converted 769.59 ounces of alluvial gold and 628.23 ounces of fine gold due under the Converted Forward Sales Contracts into 10,931,982 common shares of the Company (Common Shares). Prior to the conversion of gold into Common Shares under the Converted Forward Sales Contracts, the Company owed 422.43 ounces of fine gold deliverable in October 2010, 989.49 ounces of alluvial gold deliverable in November 2010 and 611.98 ounces of fine gold deliverable in October 2011, and was in default of the Converted Forward Sales Contracts that required delivery of gold in November 2010. Accordingly, by issuing Common Shares pursuant to the Conversion Agreements, the Company has performed its obligations under the Converted Forward Sales Contracts and is no longer in default and has been released from any liability for default under the Converted Forward Sales Contracts that required delivery of gold in October and November 2010. As a result of the conversion into common stock after year end, notes payable with a net liability of $1,376,528 have been classified as long term debt at December 31, 2010.
The common shares were issued pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, provided by Section 3(a)(9) thereof.

Exercise of Series E and Series F Warrants:
On December 20, 2010, the Board of Directors approved a temporary reduction in exercise price for the Series E and Series F warrants to the lesser of $0.20 per share of common stock or 30% discount of market price of the Companys stock. The reduction was effective through January 31, 2011, later amended to February 18, 2011. No warrants were exercised during 2010 under these terms, and in the quarter ended March 31, 2011, a total of 35,000 Series E Warrants and 1,393,332 Series F Warrants were exercised, resulting in net cash proceeds to the Company of $255,666.
The shares were issued to accredited investors (as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D) in private placement transactions pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
