Handeni Gold Inc. is an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. Our principal area of focus is the 800 square kilometer Handeni Gold Project located in the Handeni district, within the Tanga region of the Republic of Tanzania in East Africa, in which we have interests in mineral claims through prospecting licenses (“PLs”) and/or primary mining licenses (“PMLs”) issued by the government of the Republic of Tanzania.

None of our mineral claims contain any substantiated mineral deposits, resources or reserves of minerals to date. Exploration has been carried out on these claims, in particular the 4 PLs of 800 km² in the Handeni District. Accordingly, additional exploration of these mineral claims is required before any conclusion can be drawn as to whether any commercially viable mineral deposit may exist on any of our mineral claims. Our plan of operations is to continue exploration and drilling work in order to ascertain whether our mineral claims warrant further advanced exploration to determine whether they possess commercially exploitable deposits of minerals. We will not be able to determine whether or not any of our mineral claims contain a commercially exploitable mineral deposit, resource or reserve, until appropriate exploratory work has been completed and an economic evaluation based on that work concludes economic viability.

We are considered an exploration or exploratory stage company, because we are involved in the examination and investigation of land that we believe may contain valuable minerals, for the purpose of discovering the presence of ore, if any, and its extent. There is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on the properties underlying our mineral claim interests, and considerable further exploration will be required before a final evaluation as to the economic and legal feasibility for our future exploration is determined.

Currently, our primary focus is on the Handeni District Project. Effective September 21, 2010, our Board of Directors ratified the entering into and immediate closing of a certain Mineral Property Acquisition Agreement (the “Acquisition Agreement”) dated September 15, 2010 with IPP Gold Limited (“IPP Gold”), pursuant to which we acquired an undivided 100% legal, beneficial and registerable interest in and to four PLs, totaling approximately 800 square kilometres, located in the Handeni District of Tanzania and which were owned or controlled by IPP Gold and its affiliates.

In accordance with the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, effective September 21, 2010, IPP Gold has now become a major stakeholder in our Company. Pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, we issued 133,333,333 restricted shares of common stock to IPP Gold in exchange for 100% interest in the four PLs of the Handeni Project, with no further payments in shares or cash required.

The Commissioner for Minerals of Tanzania confirmed the recording in the Central Register and the transfer of 100% of each of the Prospecting License Nos. 6742/2010, 6743/2010, 6744/2010 and 6779/2010, which comprise the Handeni Project, from IPP Gold to our Company, and that such transfer has been duly recorded on the terms and conditions contained in such Prospecting Licenses.

We obtained a Technical Report on the Handeni Property (the “Handeni Report”), dated April 25, 2011, as prepared at our request by Avrom E. Howard, MSc, FGA, PGeol (Ontario), Principal Consultant at Nebu Consulting LLC. Mr. Howard is a Qualified Person in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 “Standards for Disclosure of Mineral Projects” and its Companion Policy (collectively, “NI 43-101”) and is a Practicing Professional Geologist registered with the Association of Professional Geoscientists of Ontario (registration number 0380). The Handeni Report follows on the heels of a detailed geological compilation and exploration report prepared in 2010 by Dr. Reyno Scheepers, a South African professional geologist who has been a director of our Company since 2010 and is our current Chief Executive Officer. Upon independent review by, and to the satisfaction of Mr. Howard, much of the content from Dr. Scheepers’s report has been referred to and referenced in the Handeni Report.

On August 5, 2011, the Company entered a Mineral Property Acquisition Agreement (the “2011 Acquisition Agreement”) with Handeni Resources Limited (“Handeni Resources”), a limited liability company registered under the laws of Tanzania. The Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company has an existing ownership and/or beneficial interest(s) in Handeni Resources. Pursuant to the 2011 Acquisition Agreement, the Company had an exclusive option to acquire from Handeni Resources a 100% interest in mineral licenses covering an area of approximately 2.67 square kilometers to the east of Magambazi Hill, which is adjacent to the area covered by the Company’s four existing prospecting licenses (totaling approximately 800 square kilometers) in the Handeni District.

On November 30, 2011, the Company completed the 2011 Acquisition Agreement and issued 15,000,000 restricted common shares to Handeni Resources as payment. As at November 30, 2011, the fair market price of the Company’s common stock was $0.11 per share; accordingly, the Company recorded a total fair market value of $1,650,000 as the mineral licenses acquisition cost.

To comply with the laws and regulations of the Republic of Tanzania whereby foreign companies may not own PMLs, on July 19, 2012, the Company:

Much of the information regarding the Handeni District Project as provided below is based on information provided in the Handeni Report.

The author of the Handeni Report visited the Handeni property on February 26, 2011, accompanied by Dr. Scheepers. Given the almost total absence of outcrop across the property area, on the one hand, and the abundance of district to regional scale geological data, recent exploration data, intensive artisanal mining activity in the boundary area between the Company’s Handeni property and the adjacent Magambazi property belonging to Canaco Resources Inc. (now East Africa Metals Inc.) and their well-publicized news releases and developments, on the other, the author of the Handeni Report determined that he was able to complete a meaningful property visit within the timeframe of a single day to his technical satisfaction sufficient for the purpose of preparing the Handeni Report.

The Handeni property lies within the historic Handeni artisanal gold mining district, located in Tanga Province, roughly 175 kilometers northwest of Tanzania’s largest city, Dar Es Salaam, and 100 kilometers southwest of the more northerly coastal city of Tanga. The road from Dar Es Salaam to Tanga is paved; the secondary road that heads northwest from this road to the town of Handeni, a distance of 65 kilometers, is currently being upgraded and paved. The Handeni property is located roughly 35 kilometers south of the town of Handeni. From this point, a number of dirt roads head south across various portions of the Handeni property and beyond. Driving time from Dar Es Salaam is approximately five hours, depending on traffic and the weather.

Access during the dry season is not difficult and does not even require a 4X4 vehicle. Roads within the licenses are mostly tracks, some of which are not accessible during the rainy season. The area experiences two rainy seasons, namely a short wet period during November and December and the main rain season lasting from April to June. Exploration conditions during the rainy periods may be difficult, specifically during the April to June period. Fuel is available at a number of points along the north - south portion of the journey and in Handeni town itself.

The average elevation in the Company’s license area is 450 meters above sea level. The area is densely vegetated with tall trees and grass over undulating hills of gneiss that comprise the main topographic feature in the area. Muddy, slow moving rivers and creeks crisscross the valleys and plains; some of the larger streams may experience high flow during intense rainfalls.

The area is scarcely populated with occasional small villages where people are engaged in small scale mixed farming and artisanal gold mining. Handeni town is a community of several thousand inhabitants haphazardly spread over a series of small, rounded hills, where basic services and accommodation are available.

The property comprises four PLs encompassing nearly 800 square kilometers, all of which are in good standing.

PL No.	Area (Sq Km)	Issue Date	Original Recipient	Transfer Date (To IPP Gold)	Transfer Date (To Handeni Gold)	Expiry Date	Renewal Date

Within the property are several, smaller areas that belong to small scale artisanal miners, all of which are indicated in red in the license map presented below. The areas found within PL 6742/2010 predate the arrival of IPP Gold and remain in the hands of the local artisanal miners to whom Primary Licenses, or what are informally known as “Primary Mining Licenses” or PMLs have been issued. The rectangular area in red on PL6743/2010 belonged to Handeni Resources as discussed below. Artisanal gold mining activity remains ongoing in some of these areas.

License Map, Handeni Property Prospecting Licenses, showing excluded areas in red

Toward the western edge of PL 6743/2010 are several more PMLs that do not belong to the Company. The area colored in green in the figure below is a unitized block of four PMLs that were acquired by Canaco Resources Inc. (“CRI”) (now East Africa Metals Inc.) from their owners; this is where the most intensive artisanal gold mining activity is currently taking place, with laborers working at a variety of mining and milling sites adjacent to and up the hill from a shanty town of huts that is found just north of Magambazi hill. It is the Company’s understanding that CRI has reached an agreement with the original owners of these PMLs and the people currently working there which will lead to their ceasing artisanal operations and vacating the site.

Ownership of a single, isolated claim block, depicted in fuchsia below remains uncertain; and which is something that IPP Gold and the Company are attempting to ascertain. Ownership of the smaller, rectangular red block that overlies the CRI-Company boundary also remains unknown; and which again is another matter that IPP Gold and the Company are currently pursuing. The remaining block of 32 PMLs, shown as a grid of blue lines below, belongs to the Company as described above.

General. Mining in Tanzania in the modern era dates back over one hundred years, first under German colonial rule; during the First World War a number of military engagements took place there. After the war ended control of the area was ceded to the British, under whose colonial authority mining and other activities continued and expanded. Mining focused on gold, diamonds and a variety of colored gemstones, notably including the discovery and development of the world’s largest diamondiferous kimberlite pipe (to date) by Canadian geologist John Williamson, a deposit that remains in production to this day. Shortly after achieving independence from the British in 1961, Tanzania nationalized most private sector industries, in turn resulting in the exodus of foreign investment and private capital and the consequent decline in economic activity in all sectors, including mining. Finally, beginning in the 1990s, in line with many other developing countries around the world, the Tanzanian government instituted several reforms to move towards a free market economy, privatize the mining industry and encourage both domestic and foreign investment in all economic sectors. In the case of the mining industry, this was supplemented, in 1998, through the passage of a new, more industry-friendly mining code. This code has been streamlined under the Mining Act of 1998 (revised 2010) (the “Mining Act”) currently controlling exploration, mining and related activities in the country.

Tanzania is a significant producer of gold, diamonds and a variety of colored gemstones including tanzanite; the trade name for generally heat treated, bluish-purple zoisite. The Merelani Hills, east of Arusha, is the only place o n e a r t h where this gemstone variety of V-rich zoisite is found in commercial quantities. A recently discovered uranium deposit is currently under development, as well, in the southeast area of the country. Tanzania is Africa’s third leading gold producer, after Ghana and South Africa, with several major and junior companies producing and exploring for gold, mostly in northwestern Tanzania, south of Lake Victoria, in an area informally known as the Lake Victoria gold belt.

The Handeni Property. Gold has been known in the Handeni area for many years with some attributing its discovery to the Germans prior to World War One; however, it was the increase in gold prices and consequent increase in artisanal gold mining activity in the Handeni area that led to the discovery of larger deposits of placer gold, in turn leading in 2003 to a classic gold rush. The discovery and mining of lode deposits followed, soon after, along with the growth of a shanty mining town at the northern base of Magambazi Hill.

In 2005, the Company’s majority shareholder, IPP Gold, entered into negotiations with a group of 34 local artisanal miners that collectively controlled four PMLs on and near Magambazi Hill, site of the area’s known lode mineralization, and upon failing in this endeavor acquired a number of PMLs east of Magambazi Hill from other local owners. A portion of a large (1,200 km²) Prospecting Reconnaissance License (“PLR”) which belonged to Midlands Minerals Tanzania Limited was also acquired by IPP Gold.

Between 2005 and 2010, IPP Gold carried out exploration over its PLR leading to the upgrading of its holdings from one PLR to four PLs of 800 km2, in August 2010. Exploration work included airborne magnetic and radiometric surveys, ground magnetic surveys, reconnaissance geological mapping, soil sampling, pitting and trenching. It is these four PLs that were acquired by the Company from IPP Gold.

Regional Geology. The geological framework of Tanzania reflects the geologic history of the African continent as a whole. Its present appearance is a result of a series of events that began with the evolution of the Archean shield, followed by its modification through metamorphic reworking and accretion of other continental rocks, in turn covered by continentally derived sediments. Pre-rift magmatism followed by active rifting has also left a major mark upon the Tanzanian landscape.

Several regional geological mapping programs have been carried out across the country over the past one hundred plus years, which has led to the recognition of several major litho-structural provinces from Archean to recent age. The Archean craton covers most of the western two thirds of the country, roughly bounded to the east by the East African Rift. Archean rocks host all of the country’s kimberlite pipes and contained lode diamond deposits, and most of its lode gold deposits. The Archean basement terrain is bounded to the east and west by a series of Proterozoic mobile belts; this area, particularly that to the east, hosts most of the country’s wide variety of colored gemstone deposits. Some recent research suggests that portions of this assumed Proterozoic terrane may actually consist of Archean crust that has undergone a later phase of higher grade metamorphism.

The Phanerozoic is represented by a series of sedimentary units of Paleozoic to Mesozoic age, in turn followed by a pre-rift period of kimberlitic and related, alkalic, mantle-derived intrusive and extrusive activity that presaged active rifting. Rocks related to this event intrude up to Upper Mesozoic and Lower Cenozoic sedimentary formations. Next came a period of rift-related intrusive and extrusive activity concentrated in the Arusha area – to the northeast and Mbeya area – to the southwest, which is responsible for volcanoes such as Mt. Meru and Mt. Kilimanjaro. Finally, a wide variety of recent and largely semi- to un-consolidated wind, water and weathering-derived recent formations are found across the country, a number of which host placer gold, diamond and colored gemstone deposits.

Property Geology. The geology of the Handeni area comprises amphibolite to granulite facies metamorphic rocks interpreted to originally have formed a sequence of ultramafic to felsic volcanic flows, black shales and quartz-bearing sedimentary rocks. High grade metamorphism has converted these original lithologies to a variety of metamorphic equivalents, including biotite-hornblende-garnet-pyroxene gneiss, migmatitic augen garnet- hornblende-pyroxene gneiss, quartzo-feldspathic hornblende-biotite-pyroxene gneiss, pyroxene-hornblende-biotite-garnet granulite and others. The entire assemblage has been folded into a synform with a northwest-southeast axis, complicated by numerous faults, some of which are spatially associated with gold mineralization.

Recent research by geologists from the University of Western Australia suggests that much of what has previously been considered to be of Proterozic age (Usagaran System) may in fact be overprinted Archean crust. This hypothesis has been invoked to help interpret the geology within which gold in this area is found and as the basis for an analogy between this gold mineralization and that found in less metamorphosed, bona fide Archean rocks in the Lake Victoria gold district, a few hundred km to the northwest. However, this is a hypothesis, only, one that may be used for exploration modeling purposes but one that still requires more work.

The Handeni property is at an early stage of exploration. There are no known mineral resources or reserves on the Handeni property, nor are there any known deposits on the property.

Insufficient work has been completed on the Company’s property to be able to comment to any significant extent about the nature of gold mineralization found and that may be found therein. However, comments regarding mineralization may be made upon the basis of information released by CRI, the Company that owns the immediately adjacent Magambazi gold deposit, a deposit that remains the subject of an ongoing drilling program and geological studies and which is considered to be the type occurrence/deposit for the evolving Handeni district. The hill within which this deposit is found extends southeast onto the Company’s property.

According to the aforementioned report prepared by Dr. Scheepers, gold is found within garnet-amphibolite zones within biotite-feldspar gneiss at three locations in the Company’s property, locations where historical lode gold occurrences have been documented. Gold occurs in quartz veins as well as within the garnet amphibolites adjacent to the quartz veins. Proof of this association is informally corroborated by the testimony of local, artisanal miners, who apparently recover gold both from quartz veins and gold-bearing gneiss that is not quartz vein bearing. Gold in the Company’s property has also been documented in soils and placers, at a variety of locations, as well.

Whereas gold was known in the Handeni area prior to the arrival in 2005 of the Company’s predecessor, IPP Gold, there is no history of any formal exploration in the area aside from limited work at Magambazi Hill itself. IPP Gold’s initial work consisted of soil sampling and a ground magnetic survey over an area of 200 square kilometers covering the area now located within PL6743/2010 immediately east of Magambazi Hill. Over the five years that ensued, this was followed by a series of exploration campaigns involving a variety of exploration methods, in turn followed by interpretation and further work in an iterative fashion. A table summarizing the work completed by IPP Gold (much of which was completed under the supervision of Dr. Scheepers) may be found below.

Several exploration targets were delineated on the basis of the aforementioned work either based upon anomalous gold soil geochemical results alone, or other features singly or in combination, that based upon gold deposit models have been deemed significant. Paramount among these are structural features are folds, shear zones, faults and thrust faults that have been interpreted on the basis of the magnetic and radiometric data, particularly where they have been seen to be coincident with anomalous gold in soils or locations of historical artisanal mining. Regardless of the gold deposit model one favors, structure is of fundamental significance as a conduit for and host to gold bearing solutions and, in this light therefore, all locations where anomalous gold has been found coincident with interpreted structures must be considered significant, particularly at this early stage of exploration on the Handeni property and in the district as a whole.

The author of the Handeni Report indicated that the most important conclusions to be derived at this juncture are:

Of the three drill holes drilled on the chargeability zone (outlined in purple on figure above (KW3_01, KW3_02 and KW3_03) (Fig. 1), all three intersected the zone associated with gold mineralization in the Handeni area but only KW3_01 yielded anomalous gold values of 0.24 g/t over 1 m intersections. Thus, despite large percentages of pyrite, as well as some arsenopyrite being present in most of the core intersected on the chargeability anomaly as outlined, general gold values over this anomaly are unexpectedly low. The potential for gold on the perimeter of the chargeability zone however remains high and further drilling is required.

Anomalous gold values were intercepted over large portions of drill core in KW2_10, drilled on a potential south eastern extension of the main Kwandege mineralization zone. Although no values of economic grade are present in this single drill hole, the garnet amphibolite (the favourable zone for gold mineralization) was intersected. The lower values are most likely due to an unfavourable sub-surface structural intersection and further drilling is necessary to assess the (new) south eastern extension of the main Kwandege target.

The best intersections obtained on the first phase of the Kwandege drilling project (32 holes) were:

During our fiscal year ended May 31, 2013, the Company focused its exploration efforts on:

A major focus of the Company at this stage is target prioritization and selection of areas on the property to retain. This process has been finalized and the Company is preparing to submit its final applications to the Ministry of Energy and Minerals well before the final date for submission.

Other exploration related activities currently under way on the Company’s Handeni licenses include:

The estimated budget for the completion of these exploration programs is provided below:

The Mkuvia Alluvial Gold Project is comprised of four PLs covering a total area of 380 square kilometers and is located in the Nachingwea District, Lindi Region of the Republic of Tanzania. The Company is aware that the four prospecting licenses expired during May and June of 2012. The Company is currently evaluating whether any viable interest remains in these PLs, but no final determination has been made as of yet.

The definitions of geological and technical terms used in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are provided below:

As previously disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K as filed with the SEC on August 10, 2011, effective August 5, 2011, our Board of Directors ratified the entering into of a certain 2011 Acquisition Agreement with Handeni Resources. Pursuant to the 2011 Acquisition Agreement, the Company had an exclusive option (the “Option”) to acquire from Handeni Resources a 100% interest in mineral licenses covering an area of approximately 2.67 square kilometers to the east of Magambazi Hill (the “Property”), which is adjacent to the area covered by the Company’s four existing prospecting licenses (totaling approximately 800 square kilometers) in the Handeni District.

Pursuant to the terms of the 2011 Acquisition Agreement, and in order to keep the Option in good standing during the 30-day period starting on August 5, 2011 (the “Option Period”, which period had been extended to October 4, 2011 upon the mutual agreement of our Company and Handeni Resources), we are required to provide the following consideration to Handeni Resources:

Mr. Reginald Mengi, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of our Company, has an existing direct and/or indirect ownership interest in Handeni Resources and/or beneficial interest(s) in and to Handeni Resources. As such, Mr. Mengi did not participate in any discussions by the Board of Directors regarding the 2011 Acquisition Agreement. In addition, Mr. Mengi did not, and was not entitled to, vote on the Board of Directors’ ratification of the 2011 Acquisition Agreement.

To comply with the laws and regulations of the Republic of Tanzania whereby foreign companies may not own PMLs, in July 2012, Handeni Gold Inc. entered into an Addendum agreement to the 2011 Acquisition Agreement with Handeni Resources whereby Handeni Resources will administer the 32 PMLs until such time as a mining license (ML) on the 32 PMLs (2.67 km2) have been allocated. During this period Handeni Resources will be conducting exploration and mining activities on the PMLs as directed by the Company.

We are subject to local laws and regulation governing the exploration, development, mining, production, importing and exporting of minerals; taxes; labor standards; occupational health; waste disposal; protection of the environment; mine safety; toxic substances; and other matters. We require licenses and permits to conduct exploration and mining operations. Amendments to current laws and regulations governing operations and activities of mining companies or more stringent implementation thereof could have a material adverse impact on our Company. Applicable laws and regulations will require us to make certain capital and operating expenditures to initiate new operations. Under certain circumstances, we may be required to close an operation once it is started until a particular problem is remedied or to undertake other remedial actions. This would have a material adverse effect on our results and financial condition.

Our mineral interests in Tanzania are currently held under PLs granted pursuant to the Mining Act for an initial period of three years and are renewable in two successive periods of two years only. The annual rental fees following the first renewal will be US$150 per square kilometer per year and following the second renewal the rental fee will be US$200 per square kilometer per year. There is also an initial one-time “preparation fee” of $200 per license. Upon renewal, we pay a fee of $300 per license. Renewals of our PLs can take many months and even years to process by the regulatory authority in Tanzania.

All PLs in Tanzania require the holder to employ and train local residents, typically amounting to $5,000 per year, and make exploration expenditures, as set out in the Mining Act. At each renewal, at least 50% of our licensed area must be relinquished. If we wish to keep the relinquished one-half portion, we must file a new application for the relinquished portion.

The geographical area covered by a PL may contain one or more previously granted PML. A PML is a mining license granted only to a Tanzanian citizen consisting of an area of not to exceed 10 hectares. Once a PL is granted, no additional PMLs can be granted within the geographical area covered by the PL. The PL is subject to the rights of previously granted and existing PMLs. The holder of a PL will have to work around the geographical area of the PML unless the PL holder acquires the PML and any rights to the land covered by the PML.

We must hold a mining license to carry on mining activities, which are granted only to the holder of a PL covering a particular area. A mining license is granted for a period of 25 years or the life of the mine. It is renewable for a period not exceeding 15 years. Other than the PMLs being held under Handeni Resources, we do not hold any mining licenses, only PL’s. An application for the 32 PMLs being held under agreement by Handeni Resources to be changed into a mining license (ML) is underway. Prospecting and mining license holders must submit regular reports in accordance with mining regulations. Upon commercial production, the government of Tanzania imposes a royalty on the gross value of all production at the rate of 3% of all gold produced. The applicable regulatory body in Tanzania is the Ministry of Energy and Minerals.

In July 1999, environmental management and protection regulations under the Mining Act came into force. An environmental impact statement and an environmental management plan must accompany special mining license, mining license and gemstone mining license applications for mineral rights. In addition to the establishment of environmental regulations, the Tanzanian government has improved management procedures for effective monitoring and enforcement of these regulations by strengthening the institutional capacity, especially in the field offices. The government has provided rules for the creation of reclamation funds to reinstate land to alternative uses after mining and it has developed guidelines for mining in restricted areas, such as forest reserves, national parks, near sources of water and other designated areas. These regulations have not had any material effect on our operations to date.

We operate in a highly competitive industry, competing with other mining and exploration companies, and institutional and individual investors, which are actively seeking minerals exploration properties throughout the world together with the equipment, labour and materials required to exploit such properties. Many of our competitors have financial resources, staff and facilities substantially greater than ours. The principal area of competition is encountered in the financial ability to cost effectively acquire prime minerals exploration prospects and then exploit such prospects. Competition for the acquisition of minerals exploration properties is intense, with many properties available in a competitive bidding process in which we may lack technological information or expertise available to other bidders. Therefore, we may not be successful in acquiring, exploring and developing profitable properties in the face of this competition. No assurance can be given that a sufficient number of suitable minerals exploration properties will be available for acquisition, exploration and development.

Other than our directors and executive officers, we had approximate ten full-time equivalent employees and consultants as of May 31, 2013, seven of which were located in Tanzania. We also retain independent geologists and consultants on a contract basis to conduct the work programs on our mineral properties in order to carry out our plan of operations.

We have not incurred any research or development expenditures since our incorporation.

The Company has two subsidiaries, both of which are Tanzanian companies: (i) HG Limited (formerly DLM Tanzania Limited); and (ii) Douglas Lake Tanzania Limited, which is inactive.

An investment in a company engaged in mineral exploration involves an unusually high amount of risk, both unknown and known, present and potential, including, but not limited to the risks enumerated below. An investment in our common stock involves a number of very significant risks. You should carefully consider the following risks and uncertainties in addition to other information in this annual report in evaluating our Company and its business before purchasing shares of our common stock. Our business, operating results and financial condition could be seriously harmed or cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statements due to any of the following risks. The risks described below may not be all of the risks facing our Company. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently consider immaterial may also impair our business operations and we cannot assure you that we will successfully address these risks or other unknown risks that may affect our business. You could lose all or part of your investment due to any of these risks.

We were incorporated in January 2004 and have a limited operating history which makes it difficult to evaluate the investment merits of our Company. As of May 31, 2013, we had not generated any revenues from operations and incurred a net loss since inception of $113,648,692.

We have incurred net losses since our inception and expect losses to continue.

We have not been profitable since our inception. For the fiscal year ended May 31, 2013, we had a net loss of $4,237,531. Since our inception on January 5, 2004 to May 31, 2013, we had an accumulated net loss of $113,648,692. We have not generated revenues from operations and do not expect to generate revenues from operations unless and until we are able to bring a mineral property into production. The expenditures to be made by us in the exploration of our properties may not result in discoveries of commercially recoverable mineral reserves. There is a risk that we may never bring a mineral property into production that our operations will not be profitable in the future and you could lose your entire investment.

We may not be able to continue as a going concern if we do not obtain additional financing or attain profitable operations.

Our independent accountants’ audit report states that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon attaining profitable operations and obtaining sufficient financing to meet obligations and continue exploration and development activities. We have incurred only losses since our inception. Whether and when the Company can attain profitability is uncertain. These uncertainties cast significant doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as going concern, because we will be required to obtain additional funds in the future to continue our operations and there is no assurance that we will be able to obtain such funds, through equity or debt financing, or any combination thereof, or we are able to raise additional funds, that such funds will be in the amounts required or on terms favourable to us.

Our exploration activities are highly speculative and involve substantial risks.

The mineral properties that we held interests in during our year ended May 31, 2013 are in the exploration stage and no proven mineral reserves have been established. Our exploration work may not result in the discovery of mineable deposits of ore in a commercially economical manner. There may be limited availability of water, which is essential to mining operations, and interruptions may be caused by adverse weather conditions. Our operations are subject to a variety of existing laws and regulations relating to exploration and development, permitting procedures, safety precautions, property reclamation, employee health and safety, air quality standards, pollution and other environmental protection controls. Our exploration activities are subject to substantial hazards, some of which are not insurable or may not be insured for economic reasons. Any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our results and financial condition.

We cannot accurately predict whether commercial quantities of ores will be established.

Whether an ore body will be commercially viable depends on a number of factors beyond our control, including the particular attributes of the deposit such as size, grade and proximity to infrastructure, as well as mineral prices and government regulations, including regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection. We cannot predict the exact effect of these factors, but the combination of these factors may result in a mineral deposit being unprofitable which would have a material adverse effect on our business. We have no mineral producing properties at this time. We have not defined or delineated any proven or probable reserves or resources on any of our properties to date.

We may not be able to establish the presence of minerals on a commercially viable basis.

Substantial expenditures will be required to develop the exploration infrastructure at any site chosen for exploration, to establish ore reserves through drilling, to carry out environmental and social impact assessments, and to develop metallurgical processes to extract the metal from the ore. We may not be able to discover minerals in sufficient quantities to justify commercial operation, and we may not be able to obtain funds required for exploration on a timely basis. Accordingly, you could lose your entire investment.

We will need to incur substantial expenditures in an attempt to establish the economic feasibility of mining operations by identifying mineral deposits and establishing ore reserves through drilling and other techniques, developing metallurgical processes to extract metals from ore, designing facilities and planning mining operations. The economic feasibility of a project depends on numerous factors beyond our control, including the cost of mining and production facilities required to extract the desired minerals, the total mineral deposits that can be mined using a given facility, the proximity of the mineral deposits to a user of the minerals, and the market price of the minerals at the time of sale. Our existing or future exploration programs or acquisitions may not result in the identification of deposits that can be mined profitably and you could lose your entire investment.

Our exploration activities are subject to various local laws and regulations

We may be subject to unforeseen hazards such as unusual or unexpected formations and other conditions. We may become subject to liability for pollution, cave-ins or hazards against which we cannot insure or against which we may elect not to insure. The payment of such liabilities may have a material adverse effect on our financial position.

Exploration activities, including test mining and operating activities are inherently hazardous.

Mineral exploration activities, including test mining activities, involve many risks that even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome.

Operations that we undertake will be subject to all the hazards and risks normally incidental to exploration, test mining and recovery of gold and other metals, any of which could result in work stoppages, damage to property and possible environmental damage. The nature of these risks are such that liabilities might result in us being forced to incur significant costs that could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and business prospects.

The success of our operations and activities is dependent to a significant extent on the efforts and abilities to attract and maintain qualified key management and technical personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense and we may not be able to attract and retain such personnel. We do not maintain key-man life insurance on any of our officers. A loss of any of them could adversely affect our business.

Our officers and directors may have potential conflicts of interest due to their responsibilities with other entities.

The officers and directors of the Company serve as officers and/or directors of other companies in the mining industry, which may create situations where the interests of the director or officer may become conflicted. The companies to which some of our officers and directors provide services may be potential competitors with the Company at some point in the future. The directors and officers owe the Company fiduciary duties with respect to any current or future conflicts of interest.

We may be subject to growth-related risks including capacity constraints and pressure on our internal systems and controls. Our ability to manage growth effectively will require us to continue to implement and improve our operational and financial systems and to attract and retain qualified management and technical personnel to meet the needs of our anticipated growth. Our inability to deal with this growth could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

The economics of developing metal and mineral properties are affected by many factors beyond our control including, without limitation, the cost of operations, variations in the grade ore or resource mined, and the price of such resources. The market prices of the metals for which we are exploring are highly speculative and volatile. Depending on the price of gold or other resources, we may determine that it is impractical to commence or continue commercial production. The price of gold has fluctuated widely in recent years. The price of gold and other metals and minerals may not remain stable, and such prices may not be at levels that will make it feasible to continue our exploration activities, or commence or continue commercial production.

Acquisition of title to mineral properties is a very detailed and time-consuming process, and title to our properties may be affected by prior unregistered agreements or transfer, or undetected defects. Some of our prospecting licenses are currently subject to renewal by the Ministry of Energy and Minerals of Tanzania. 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, which would have a material adverse effect on our business.

Local residents in Tanzania may have registered the right to mine in small areas located within a prospecting license, such rights are evidenced by a mining license. There can be no guarantee that we will be successful in negotiating with mining license owners to acquire their rights if we determine that we need their permission to drill or mine on the land covered by such mining licenses.

We have requirements for and there is an uncertainty of access to additional capital.

At May 31, 2013, we had cash of $206,402 and working capital of $141,650. We will continue to incur exploration costs to fund our plan of operations and intend to fund our plan of operations from working capital, equity subscriptions and debt financing. Ultimately, our ability to continue our exploration activities depends in part on our ability to commence operations and generate revenues or to obtain financing through joint ventures, debt financing, equity financing, production sharing agreements or some combination of these or other means. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain any such financing.

We have no cash flow from operations and depend on equity financing for our operations.

Our current operations do not generate any cash flow. Any work on our properties may require additional equity financing. If we seek funding from existing or new joint venture partners, our project interests will be diluted. If we seek additional equity financing, the issuance of additional shares will dilute the current interests of our shareholders. We may not be able to obtain additional funding to allow us to fulfill our obligations on our existing exploration property or any future exploration properties. Our failure to obtain such additional financing could result in delay or indefinite postponement of further exploration and the possible partial or total loss of our potential interest in certain properties or dilution of our interest in certain properties which would have a material adverse effect on our business.

Our directors and officers are indemnified for any monies they pay in settlement of actions performed while a director or officer.

Sections 78.7502 and 78.751 of the Nevada Revised Statutes provide for indemnification of our officers and directors in certain situations where they might otherwise personally incur liability, judgments, penalties, fines and expenses in connection with a proceeding or lawsuit to which they might become parties because of their position with our Company. We have authorized the indemnification of our officers and directors to the full extent available under the Nevada Revised Statutes.

We are subject to complex federal, provincial, state, local and other laws, controls and regulations that could adversely affect the cost, manner and feasibility of conducting our operations.

Mineral exploration, production, marketing and transportation activities are subject to extensive controls and regulations imposed by various levels of government, which may be amended from time to time. Governments may regulate or intervene with respect to price, taxes, and the exportation. Regulations may be changed from time to time in response to economic or political conditions. The implementation of new regulations or the modification of existing regulations affecting the mining industry could increase our costs, any of which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. In addition, in order to conduct operations, we require licenses from various governmental authorities. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain all of the licenses and permits that may be required to conduct operations that we may desire to undertake.

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 our properties. Any changes in regulations or shifts in political conditions in this country are beyond our control and may materially adversely affect our business. While the Company’s management will propose a measure to mitigate the effects, 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.

As a public company, our compliance costs and risks have increased in recent years.

Legal, accounting and other expenses associated with public company reporting requirements have increased significantly in the past few years. We anticipate that general and administrative costs associated with regulatory compliance will continue to increase with on-going compliance requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as any new rules implemented by the SEC in the future. These rules and regulations have significantly increased our legal and financial compliance costs and made some activities more time consuming and costly. We cannot assure you that we will effectively meet all of the requirements of these regulations, including Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Any failure to effectively implement internal controls, or to resolve difficulties encountered in their implementation, could harm our operating results, cause us to fail to meet reporting obligations, or result in our principal executive officer and principal financial officer being required to give a qualified assessment of our internal control over financial reporting. Any such result could cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a material adverse effect on the trading price of our common stock and our ability to raise capital. These rules and regulations have made it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance in the future. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers.

The price of our common shares may increase or decrease in response to a number of events and factors, including: trends in the mineral sector in which we operate; changes in the market price of gold; current events affecting the global economic situation; changes in financial estimates; our acquisitions and financings; quarterly variations in our operating results; the operating and share price performance of other companies that investors may deem comparable; and purchase or sale of blocks of our common shares. These factors, or any of them, may materially adversely affect the prices of our common shares regardless of our operating performance.

A decline in the price of our common stock could affect our ability to raise further working capital and adversely impact our operations.

A decline in the price of our common stock could result in a reduction in the liquidity of our common stock and a reduction in our ability to raise additional capital for our operations. Because our operations to date have been principally financed through the sale of equity securities, a decline in the price of our common stock could have an adverse effect upon our liquidity and our continued operations. A reduction in our ability to raise equity capital in the future would have a material adverse effect upon our business plan and operations, including our ability to continue our current operations. If our stock price declines, we may not be able to raise additional capital or generate funds from operations sufficient to meet our obligations.

On January 23, 2006, the Pennsylvania Securities Commission (“PSC”) issued an inquiry letter to our Company. The inquiry alleged that we offered and sold securities to investors without being in compliance with Regulation D and without registration. The PSC notified us that an acceptable course of action was for us to offer the Pennsylvania state residents an opportunity to rescind their investment with us. While the Pennsylvania state residents have rejected our offer to repurchase their shares, we do not plan to make the same offer to our other US investors, residents of California, or our British Columbia resident investors. If the investors invoke their rescission right or if any securities commission requires us to offer a right of rescission to the investors, we may have to refund the related funds.

Our stock is a penny stock. Trading of our stock may be restricted by the SEC’s penny stock regulations and FINRA’s sales practice requirements, which may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

Our common stock will be subject to the “Penny Stock” Rules of the SEC, which will make transactions in our common stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in our common stock.

Our common stock is quoted on the OTCQB, which is generally considered to be a less efficient market than markets such as NASDAQ or the national exchanges, and which may cause difficulty in conducting trades and difficulty in obtaining future financing. Further, our securities will be subject to the “penny stock rules” adopted pursuant to Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The penny stock rules apply generally to companies whose common stock trades at less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain limited exemptions. Such rules require, among other things, that brokers who trade “penny stock” to persons other than “established customers” complete certain documentation, make suitability inquiries of investors and provide investors with certain information concerning trading in the security, including a risk disclosure document and quote information under certain circumstances. Many brokers have decided not to trade “penny stock” because of the requirements of the “penny stock rules” and, as a result, the number of broker-dealers willing to act as market makers in such securities is limited. In the event that we remain subject to the “penny stock rules” for any significant period, there may develop an adverse impact on the market, if any, for our securities. Because our securities are subject to the “penny stock rules”, investors will find it more difficult to dispose of our securities. Further, it is more difficult: (i) to obtain accurate quotations, (ii) to obtain coverage for significant news events because major wire services, such as the Dow Jones News Service, generally do not publish press releases about such companies, and (iii) to obtain needed capital.

In addition to the “penny stock” rules promulgated by the SEC, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) has adopted rules that require a broker-dealer to have reasonable grounds for believing that an investment is suitable for a customer when recommending the investment to 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 our shares.

Our principal office is located at Plot 228, Regent Estate, Dar es Salaam, the United Republic of Tanzania and our Vancouver office is located at Suite 500-666 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 3P6, Canada.

Our mineral claim interests and the properties underlying such interests are described above under Item 1, “Business”.

Except as disclosed below, management is not aware of any legal proceedings contemplated by any governmental authority or any other party involving us or our properties. As of the date of this report, no director, officer or affiliate is (i) a party adverse to us in any legal proceeding or (ii) has an adverse interest to us in any legal proceedings. Management is not aware of any other legal proceedings pending or that have been threatened against us or our properties.

On February 8, 2012, Ruby Creek Resources Inc. (“RCR”) filed a lawsuit against the Company in the Supreme Court, State of New York, in which RCR alleges that the Company participated in a fraudulent transfer of certain mineral property interests in Tanzania that RCR had the right to purchase pursuant to a series of agreements with the Company. The Company is of the view that such allegations are without merit and intends to continue to vigorously contest the action.

On February 23, 2012, the Company filed a lawsuit against RCR in the Supreme Court of British Columbia (the “British Columbia Action”), seeking relief for RCR’s breach of its payment obligations under the above-referenced agreements and seeking an order that RCR remove the U.S. restrictive legend from RCR shares issued to the Company under the agreements. To date, RCR is in default with respect to over $1.3 million in scheduled payments due to the Company under the agreements.

In addition to the British Columbia Action, on May 21, 2012 in answering RCR’s claim in New York, the Company counter claimed against RCR on the basis of the alleged breaches set out in the British Columbia Action (the “New York Counter Claim”). On November 19, 2012, the British Columbia Action was dismissed on the grounds that the Court in British Columbia did not have jurisdiction and further that the dismissal was without prejudice to either of the Company’s and RCR’s respective actions in New York against one another. This Order was granted by consent of both the Company and RCR.

On October 25, 2012, Craig Alford filed a lawsuit against the Company in the Supreme Court of British Columbia for breach of an alleged employment agreement. Mr. Alford claims the agreement was for a term of three years, commencing on March 1, 2011, with a monthly salary of $12,500. Mr. Alford claims that the Company wrongfully terminated the agreement in October 2011 and is seeking judgment in the amount of $362,500. The Company is of the view that the allegation is without merit and intends to vigorously contest the action. On February 4, 2013 the Company filed its response to Mr. Alford’s claim with the Supreme Court of British Columbia.

Our shares of common stock were quoted for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “DLKM.OB” on March 23, 2005. On February 14, 2012, the Company changed its name to Handeni Gold Inc., and its trading symbol was changed to “HNDI”. Our common stock is currently trading on OTCQB market tier. The market for our common stock is limited, volatile and sporadic. The following table sets forth the high and low prices relating to our common stock for the periods indicated, as provided by the OTC Bulletin Board. These quotations reflect inter-dealer prices without retail mark-up, mark-down, or commissions, and may not reflect actual transactions.

As at August 9, 2013, we had 321,416,654 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding, which were held by approximately 151 registered holders.

Our transfer agent is Transhare Corporation, whose address is 4626 S. Broadway, Englewood, CO 80113, U.S.A., telephone phone number is 303-662-1112 and fax number is 303-662-1113.

No dividends have been declared or paid on our common stock. We have incurred recurring losses and do not currently intend to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

We adopted a Stock Option Plan, dated April 27, 2007 (the “2007 Stock Option Plan”), under which we were authorized to grant stock options to acquire up to a total of 10,000,000 shares of common stock. No more options may be granted or exercised under the 2007 Stock Option Plan.

We adopted an additional Stock Option Plan, dated October 20, 2008 (the “2008 Stock Option Plan”), under which we were authorized to grant stock options to acquire up to a total of 10,000,000 shares of common stock. No more options may be granted or exercised under the 2008 Stock Option Plan.

We adopted an additional Stock Option Plan, dated August 11, 2010 (the “August 2010 Stock Option Plan”), under which we were authorized to grant stock options to acquire up to a total of 10,000,000 shares of common shares. No more options may be granted or exercised under the August 2010 Stock Option.

We adopted an additional Stock Incentive Plan, dated November 29, 2010 (the “November 2010 Stock Incentive Plan”), under which we are authorized to grant stock and/or stock options to acquire up to a total of 40,000,000 shares of common shares. The following summary of the November 2010 Stock Incentive Plan is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the November 2010 Stock Incentive Plan, a copy of which is incorporated by reference to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2011.

The November 2010 Stock Incentive Plan provides for the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock and other equity awards as set out in the November 2010 Stock Incentive Plan to our directors, officers, employees or consultants. The maximum number of shares that may be issued under the November 2010 Stock Incentive Plan are 40,000,000 shares of our common stock. As of May 31, 2013 and the date of this report, there remained 10,700,000 shares of common stock available to be issued under the November 2010 Stock Incentive Plan. No insider of the Company is eligible to receive an award under the Plan where (i) the insider is not a director or senior officer of the Company, (ii) any award, together with all of the Company’s previously established or proposed awards under the Plan could result at any time in (a) the number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to options granted to the insider exceeding 50% of the outstanding issue of common stock or (b) the issuance to the insider pursuant to the exercise of options within a one-year period of the number of shares exceeding 50% of the outstanding issue of our common stock. Unless the administrator under the Plan determines that an award to a grantee is not designed to qualify as performance-based compensation, the maximum number of shares with respect to options and/or stock appreciation rights that may be granted during any one calendar year under the November 2010 Stock Option Plan to any one grantee is 20,000,000, all of which may be granted as incentive stock options, and the maximum aggregate grant of restricted stock, unrestricted shares, restricted stock units and deferred stock units in any one calendar year to any one grantee is 20,000,000. The November 2010 Stock Incentive Plan is administered by a committee consisting of two or more members of our Board of Directors, who have the authority to, among other things, interpret the November 2010 Stock Option Plan, select eligible participants, determine whether and to what extent awards are granted under the November 2010 Stock Option Plan, approve award agreements under the November 2010 Stock Incentive Plan and amend the terms of any outstanding award granted under the November 2010 Stock Incentive Plan.

The table set forth below presents information relating to our equity compensation plans as of the date of May 31, 2013:

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion of our financial condition, changes in financial position, plan of operations and results of operations should be read in conjunction with (i) our audited consolidated financial statements as at May 31, 2013, May 31, 2012 and for the period from inception (January 5, 2004) to May 31, 2013 and (ii) the section entitled “Business” included in this annual report. All financial information in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A” or the “discussion”) is expressed and prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. All dollar references are to the U.S. dollar, the Company’s reporting currency, unless otherwise noted. Some numbers in this MD&A have been rounded to the nearest thousand for discussion purposes.

This MD&A contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions with respect to the Company’s activities and future financial results, which are made based upon management’s current expectations and beliefs. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, including statements regarding the Company’s capital needs, business plans and expectations. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this annual report. Any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical facts may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Management disclaims any obligation to publicly update these statements, or disclose any difference between its actual results and those reflected in these statements. Given these uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.

To take advantage of Tanzania’s rich natural resources, the Company is engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties in the United Republic of Tanzania, Africa, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, HG Limited (formerly: DLM Tanzania Limited), and Douglas Lake Tanzania Limited which is inactive. Over these years, the Company has built strong relationships with the Ministry of Mines, the Geological Survey of Tanzania, and other government agencies in Tanzania.

In the past two years, the Company has made a strategic decision to focus exclusively on its principal prospective gold property, namely, 800 square kilometer Handeni Gold Project located in Tanzania. The Company’s exploration activities conducted in the past two fiscal years were outlined under Item 1. Business – Our Mineral Claims, above.

Our exploration program and achievements during our fiscal year ended May 31, 2013 are highlighted as follows:

Our plan of operations for the next fiscal year is to continue focus on the exploration of our Handeni mineral property in Tanzania. We anticipate that we will require approximately $1.5 million for our plan of the exploration work and $1.0 million for our general and administration expenses, professional and consulting fees and other operating expenses over the next 12 months ending May 31, 2014. Our actual expenditures may exceed our estimations.

At May 31, 2013, we had working capital of $142,000. Included in the working capital, there was $206,000 in cash. As such, we estimate we will need a minimum of $2.4 million in additional funds to cover our planned operations over the next fiscal year ending May 31, 2014. We anticipate that we will not generate any revenues for so long as we are an exploration stage company. Accordingly, we will be required to obtain additional financing in order to pursue our plan of operations.

We believe that external debt financing will not be an alternative for funding our next fiscal year exploration, as we do not have significant tangible assets to secure any debt financing. Therefore, we anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock and/or related parties debt financing. We cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to obtain sufficient financing to fund our acquisition and exploration program going forward. In the absence of sufficient funding, we will not be able to continue acquisition and exploration of mineral claims and we will be forced to abandon our mineral claims and our plan of operations. Even if we are successful in obtaining financing to fund our acquisition and exploration program, there is no assurance that we will obtain the funding necessary to pursue any advanced exploration of any mineral claims.

We have had no operating revenues since our inception (January 5, 2004) to May 31, 2013. The following table sets out our losses for the periods indicated:

Our net loss for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2013 was $4, 238,000, compared to $6,904,000 for the same period ended May 31, 2012, mainly due to $1,600,000 permanent impairment of marketable securities and the following operation expenses changes.

Our operating expenses for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2013 decreased by $6.8 million to $2,653,000 from $9,448,000 for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2012, as follows:

Our net loss for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2012 was $6,904,000, compared to $72,412,000 for the same period ended May 31, 2011, mainly due to the following expenses changes.

Our operating expenses for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2012 decreased by $66 million to $9,448,000 from $75,608,000 for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2011, as follows:

The Company has been reviewing its budgets for its current business needs and its further exploration. We estimate that our total expenditures for our fiscal year ending May 31, 2014 will be approximately $2.5 million, as outlined above under the heading “Plan of Operations”. At May 31, 2013, we had working capital of approximately $142,000. As such, we believe that we have insufficient capital to fund our plan of operations in the next 12 months and we estimate we will be required to obtain a minimum of $2.4 million additional funds in order to pursue our planned operations through to our fiscal year ending May 31, 2014.

In January 2013, we completed private placements related to the Company’s Tanzanian and East African fund raising for a total of $650,000 subscription proceeds, of which $500,000 was received during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2013 and $150,000 was received during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2012.

On December 7, 2012, we entered into a facility agreement with IPP Ltd. a private company controlled by our Chairman of the Board of Directors. The facility agreement ensures that the Company will have sufficient funding for its key exploration activities up to June 2013. The funding is in the form of an interest free unsecured loan to the Company of up to $720,000 through and including June 2013. As of the date of this report, we received a total of $695,683 which is due to be repaid on or before December 31, 2013 pursuant to this facility agreement.

As of May 31, 2013, there was $579,000 of recoverable value added tax paid in Tanzania and $47,000 of recoverable goods and services tax/harmonized sales tax paid in Canada.Such recoverable amounts were included in our working capital and expected to be refunded during the fiscal year 2014.

We have not generated revenues since the date of inception on January 5, 2004, and our cash has been generated primarily from the sale of our securities. During the 12-month period following the date of this annual report, we anticipate that we will not generate any revenue. We anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock, debt financing, joint ventures or some combination of these or other means. We believe that external debt financing will not be an alternative at this stage for funding additional phases of our exploration as we do not have significant tangible assets to secure any debt financing.

We cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding to continue our acquisition and exploration program going forward. If we are not able to obtain financing in the amounts required or on terms that are acceptable to us, we may be forced to scale back, or abandon, our plan of operations. Even if we are successful in obtaining equity and/or debt financing to fund our acquisition and exploration program, there is no assurance that we will obtain the funding necessary to pursue any advanced exploration of any mineral claims. If we do not continue to obtain additional funding, we will be forced to abandon our mineral claims and our plan of operations.

Net cash used in operating activities was $1.8 million during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2013, as compared to $5.7 million during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2012. During the fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2013, net cash used in operating activities was $401,000, as compared to $1,167,000 during the same period in 2012. Net cash used in operating activities from our inception on January 5, 2004 to May 31, 2013 was $19 million.

Net cash used in investing activities was $41,000 during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2013. During the year, we purchased $9,000 of office equipment and received $50,000 from disposal of equipment and redemption of restricted cash equivalent. During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2012, net cash used in investing activities was $391,000 primarily used in purchase of equipment.

During the fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2013, net cash received in investing activities was $28,726 from redemption of restricted cash equivalent. During the same period in 2012, net cash used in investing activities was $29,000. Net cash used in investing activities from our inception on January 5, 2004 to May 31, 2013 was $835,000 mainly used in purchase of property and equipment.

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2013, we received $500,000 net cash from financing activities (receipt of stock subscriptions), as compared to $164,000 during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2012. In addition, during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2013, we received a $545,683 loan due to a related party. During the fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2013, net cash from financing activities was $150,000 received from a related party as a loan, as compared to $50,000 received from a stock subscription during the same period in 2012. We have funded our business to date primarily from sales of our common stock. From our inception on January 5, 2004 to May 31, 2013, net cash provided by financing activities was $20,259,000.

There are no assurances that we will be able to achieve further sales of our common stock or any other form of additional financing. If we are unable to achieve the financing necessary to continue our plan of operations, then we will not be able to continue our exploration of the property underlying our mineral claim interest and our venture will fail.

We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue any extensive exploration activities. In addition, we had only $142,000 working capital as of May 31, 2013. For these reasons our auditors stated in their report on our audited financial statements for the year ended May 31, 2013 that they have substantial doubt we will be able to continue as a going concern.

We anticipate continuing to rely on equity sales of our common shares, debt financing from our related parties, and/or other financing in order to continue to fund our business operations over the next 12 months. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to our existing shareholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of our equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund our planned exploration activities.

We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.

The details of related party transactions are disclosed in footnote 9 of our Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2013 (Item 8 – FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, below).

The Company operates in one reportable segment, located in Tanzania Africa, being the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. The details of segment disclosures are disclosed in footnote 17 of our Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2013 (Item 8 – FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, below).

We do not believe that inflation has had a significant impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.

We regularly evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to prepare our financial statements. In general, management’s estimates are based on historical experience, on information from third party professionals, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.

We believe the following critical accounting policies require us to make significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

The Company’s 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. The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries described as follows. In June 2011, the Company incorporated in Tanzania a new wholly-owned subsidiary, DLM Tanzania Limited (now known as HG Limited), which undertakes mineral property exploration activities in Tanzania. The Company also has a wholly-owned non-operating Tanzanian subsidiary (Douglas Lake Tanzania Limited).

All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The Company’s fiscal year-end is May 31.

The preparation of consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses in the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the recoverability and useful life of long-lived assets, mineral prospecting licenses, stock-based compensation, deferred income tax asset valuation allowances and contingent liabilities. 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.

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.

ASC 220, Comprehensive Income establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income (loss) and its components in the financial statements. As at May 31, 2013, the Company’s only component of other comprehensive loss and accumulated other comprehensive loss is an unrealized fair value loss on available for sale marketable securities.

Cash and cash equivalents are carried at fair value and they comprise cash on hand, deposits held with banks and other highly liquid investments. Highly liquid investments are readily convertible to cash and generally have maturities of three months or less from the time acquired. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with high quality financial institutions which the Company believes limits credit risk.

The Company reports investments in marketable equity securities at fair value based on quoted market prices. All investment securities are designated as available for sale with unrealized gains and losses included in stockholders’ equity. Unrealized losses that are other than temporary are recognized in earnings. Realized gains and losses are accounted for on the specific identification method.

The Company periodically reviews these investments for other-than-temporary declines in fair value based on the specific identification method and writes down investments to their fair value when an other-than- temporary decline has occurred. When determining whether a decline is other-than-temporary, the Company examines (i) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value of an investment has been lower than its carrying value: (ii) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the investee, including any specific events that may influence the operations of the investee such as changes in technology that may impair the earnings potential of the investee: and (iii) the Company’s intent and ability to retain its investment in the investee for a sufficient period of time to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value. The Company generally believes that an other-than-temporary decline has occurred when the fair value of the investment is below the carrying value for one year, absent of evidence to the contrary.

Equipment consists of office furniture and equipment, automobiles, camp and equipment, and computer software recorded at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis as follows:

The Company has been in the exploration stage since its inception on January 5, 2004 and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties. Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred. Mineral property acquisition costs are initially capitalized. The Company assesses the carrying costs for impairment under ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment at each fiscal quarter end. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs then incurred to develop such property, are capitalized. Such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve. If mineral properties are subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs will be charged to operations.

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 its fair value which is generally determined based on 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.

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 assets retirement obligations as of May 31, 2013 and 2012.

ASC 825, Financial Instruments requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and the fair value of financial instruments, which include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash equivalent, restricted marketable securities, accounts payable and loan from related party were estimated to approximate their carrying values due to the immediate or short-term maturities of these financial instruments.

The Company’s operations are in Canada and Africa, which results in exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency rates. The financial risk is the risk to the Company’s operations that arise from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk.

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. The asset and liability method provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and for operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.

The functional and reporting currency of the Company is the United States dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated to United States dollars in accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Translation Matters, using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at rates of exchange in effect at the date of the transaction. Average rates are used to translate revenues and expenses.

Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income. The Company has not, to the date of these financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

To the extent that the Company incurs transactions that are not denominated in its functional currency, they are undertaken in Canadian dollars and Tanzanian shillings. The Company has not, to the date of these financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

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.

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its consolidated financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years’ financial statements to conform to the current year’s presentation.

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information required under this item.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Handeni Gold Inc. (An Exploration Stage Company) as of May 31, 2013 and 2012 and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, cash flows and stockholders' equity (deficit) for the years then ended and accumulated for the period from January 5, 2004 (Date of Inception) to May 31, 2013. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Handeni Gold Inc. (An Exploration Stage Company) as of May 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended and accumulated for the period from January 5, 2004 (Date of Inception) to May 31, 2013 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has not generated any revenues and has incurred operating losses since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also discussed in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

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

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 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.

Pursuant to ASC 820, the fair value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash equivalent and restricted marketable securities are determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. Management believes that the recorded values of all of the Company’s other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.

As at May 31, 2013, there were no liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis presented on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis were presented on the Company’s balance sheet as of May 31, 2013, as follows:

The Company ac counts for income taxes under ASC 740, Income Taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The measurement of deferred income tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance for any tax benefits, which are, on a more likely than not basis, not expected to be realized. The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period that such tax rate changes are enacted.

The Company is subject to U.S. federal and state income tax and has concluded substantially all U.S. federal and state income tax matters for tax years through May 31, 2010. The tax filings for years from 2011 to 2013 are subject to audit by U.S. jurisdictions. The Company’s Canadian office has filed its Canadian corporate income tax returns under the “Voluntary Disclosure Program”, and the tax filings for years from 2011 to 2013 are subject to audit by Canadian jurisdictions. The Company’s Tanzania subsidiaries are subject to Tanzania income tax, the tax filings for the years 2013 and 2012 are subjected to audit by Tanzania jurisdictions.

Income tax expense differs from the amount that would result from applying the U.S federal income tax rates to earnings before income taxes. The Company has net operating losses carried forward of approximately $25 million available to offset taxable income in future years which begin expiring in fiscal 2025. Pursuant to ASC 740, the potential benefits of the net operating losses carried forward has not been recognized in the financial statements since the Company cannot be assured that it is more likely than not that such benefit will be utilized in future years.

The income tax benefit differs from the amount computed by applying the federal income tax rate of 35% to net loss before income taxes for the years ended May 31, 2013 and 2012 as a result of the following:

The significant components of deferred income tax assets and liabilities at May 31, 2013 and 2012, after applying enacted federal income tax rates, are as follows:

The Company has recognized a valuation allowance for the deferred income tax asset since the Company cannot be assured that it is more likely than not that such benefit will be utilized in future years. When circumstances change and which cause a change in management’s judgment about the realizability of deferred income tax assets, the impact of the change on the valuation allowance is generally reflected in current income.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), Reyno Scheepers, and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), Melinda Hsu, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15b) and 15d-15b) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this annual report. Based upon the evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this annual report, due to the deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting as described below under Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act.

The management of the Company assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments. Based on this assessment, management concluded that, as of the end of our fiscal year ended May 31, 2013, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective due to material weaknesses, as more fully described below.

Management identified the following material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting:

Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth above did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial results and information required to be disclosed by the Company in its reports that it files or submits to the SEC under the Exchange Act within the time period specified in applicable rules and forms. However, management believes that these material weaknesses resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal control over financial reporting can impact the Company’s financial statements for future years. As a result material errors could occur.

The Company and its management are endeavoring to correct the above noted weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting. We have established an audit committee, corporate governance and compensation committee with sufficient independent members, and we have identified an “expert” for the audit committee to advise other members as to correct accounting and reporting procedures. In addition, we are establishing written policies outlining the duties of each of the directors and officers of the Company to facilitate better internal control procedures.

Management will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls and procedures and its internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and is committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.

There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last quarter of our fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2013, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Our executive officers and directors and their respective ages as of the date of this annual report are as follows:

Our directors are appointed for a one-year term to hold office until the next annual general meeting of our stockholders or until removed from office in accordance with our bylaws. Our officers are appointed by our Board of Directors and hold office until removed by the Board.

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2013, our board of directors had five Board of Directors meetings, six Audit Committee meetings, and two Corporate Governance and Compensation Committee meetings through in-person or teleconference calls.

Other than the officers and directors described above, we had approximate ten full-time equivalent employees and consultants as of May 31, 2013, seven of which were located in Tanzania. We also retain independent geologists and consultants on a contract basis to conduct the work programs on our mineral properties in order to carry out our plan of operations.

To the best of our knowledge and belief, none of our directors or executive officers has been involved in any of the following events during the past ten years that is material to an evaluation of the ability of such person to serve as an executive officer or director of our Company:

We are not aware of any material legal proceedings in which any of the following persons is a party adverse to our Company or has a material interest adverse to our Company: (a) any current director, officer, or affiliate of the Company, or any owner of record or beneficial owner of more than five percent of any class of voting securities of the Company; (b) any person proposed for appointment or election as a director or officer of our Company; or (c) any associate of any such person.

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors and officers, and the persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of our common stock, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Copies of all filed reports are required to be furnished to us pursuant to Rule 16a-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act. Based solely on the reports received by us and on the representations of the reporting persons with respect to our most recent fiscal year, we believe that these persons have complied with all applicable filing requirements during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2013, although there was one late Form 4 filing by director Gizman Abbas, with respect to the grant of shares and options to him under the Company’s Stock Incentive Plan..

We have adopted a code of ethics applicable to our directors, principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. A copy of our code of ethics is incorporated by reference as an exhibit to this Report and can be reviewed on our corporate website located at www.handenigold.com. If we make any amendments to our Code of Ethics other than technical, administrative, or other non-substantive amendments, or grant any waivers, including implicit waivers, from a provision of our Code of Ethics, we will disclose the nature of the amendment or waiver, its effective date and to whom it applies on our website or in a report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC.

a)	A helicopter based TEM electromagnetic and radiometric aerial survey program was completed by FUGRO over the entire Company licence area (800 km²) at 200 meter spaced flight lines in a north-south direction. Electromagnetic (TEM) as well as radiometric data for K (Potassium), U (Uranium), and Th (Thorium), as well as total count was collected simultaneously for the 4740 line kilometres flown. Selected areas were flown at a line spacing of 100 meters.

	The interpreted data clearly delineated subsurface geological features of importance to gold and base metal mineralization in this high grade metamorphic terrain. The data proved to be invaluable in the definition of structurally important sites and target definition.

b)	An intensive ground based geophysical program on the Magambazi East as well as the Kwandege target zones was completed. This data (combined with geochemical results) were used to create drill targets on the two selected areas, the results of which are reported below.

c)	A multi-element soil geochemical program was completed on the Kwandege target delineating the extent of the mineralization zone and assisting the interpretation of the geophysical data to locate drill positions.

d)	A large soil sampling program of two targets in PL6743/2010 was initiated and is still continuing.

e)	28 diamond core holes (5,347 meters) were drilled on the Magambazi East and related targets (figure below). 20 of these holes (4228 m or 79.1% of the total 5347 meters of drilling) were drilled on the main geophysical and geochemical anomaly considered to be an extension of the main Magambazi Hill mineralization zone. A single hole (MZD 28; 159 m or 3.0%) was drilled on a potential mineralization zone north of the main Magambazi mineralization trend and one hole (MZD 25; 201 m or 3.8%) was drilled on a potential mineralization zone south of the main mineralization zone. Both these zones were delineated by ground geophysics and soil geochemistry producing well defined drill targets. Six holes (MZD 05, MZD 12, MZD 13, MZD 15, MZD 26 and MZD 27 totaling 445 m or 14.2%) were drilled on targets potentially related to the Magambazi Hill mineralization zones by faulting and / or folding.

	i)	A gold enriched mineralization zone extends for a distance of approximately 500 m to the south east of the Magambazi Hill mineralization as defined by CRI. Gold mineralization along the zone is related to a folded sequence of garnet amphibolite and consists of free gold closely related to quartz veins as well as gold related to sulphides within this zone. The mineralization is structurally complex and is most likely part of a synclinal structure plunging to the north west with higher grade gold zones confined to the fold axis of steeply northwest plunging secondary fold structures on the limbs of the syncline. The repetition distances of these structures are unpredictable based on the current results and drill spacing and an intensive and directed drilling program will be needed to investigate their economic potential. The best intersection achieved on the main zone was 4.2 g/t over 5 meters.

	ii)	A mineralization zone to the north of the main zone (the North eastern Zone) shows gold potential. The strike distance of this zone on the Handeni Gold property is approximately 330 m. Three mineralized intersections were obtained. The zone may be interpreted as refolded main zone on the north eastern flank of the syncline or a “lower amphibolite zone” at a lower level of the main Magambazi synclinal structure. The most promising intersection on this zone was 3.75 g/t over 1 meter.

	iii)	A mineralization zone with a strike distance of approximately 450 m to the south of the main zone (the South western Zone) was intersected. The geological interpretation is the same as for the North eastern zone. Four mineralized intersections were obtained in this zone of which 1.31 g/t over 1 meter was the intersection obtained.

		Evaluation of the economic potential of the three mineralization zones will only be possible with closely spaced directional drilling to follow out the mineralization. We will continue its evaluation of the Magambazi East project based on a detailed interpretation of the available drill core and an intensive program of close spaced ground geophysics. The project will finally be ranked against 15 other already identified targets (the decision to continue drilling on its Kwandege project has already been taken) before a decision on a possible continuation of the drilling program on Magambazi East will be taken. Intercepts were reported as drilling widths due to extreme folding of layers. More drilling will be needed to confirm true widths. For the holes reported for this phase of the assay program sampling was conducted along one meter continuous intervals of the core.

	(1)	entered into an Addendum agreement to the 2011 Acquisition Agreement whereby Handeni Resources will administer the 32 PMLs until such time as a mining license (“ML”) on the 32 PMLs (2.67 km²) have been allocated; and

	(2)	during this period Handeni Resources will be conducting exploration and mining activities on the PMLs as directed by the Company.

	1.	Based upon CRI’s public disclosure, it appears as if a bona fide gold deposit has been discovered at Magambazi Hill, a deposit where ongoing drilling is finding more gold;

	2.	The southeast extension of Magambazi Hill and, presumably, gold mineralization found within, continues onto the Company’s PL6743/2010;

	3.	Historical placer and lode artisanal mining was a guide to Magambazi’s potential;

	4.	There are a number of other locations where intensive placer and artisanal gold mining took place within the Handeni property, notably the Kwandege and Mjembe areas;

	5.	Processed airborne magnetic and radiometric data have delineated linear features that have been interpreted to represent a variety of structures such as shears, thrust faults and cross faults;

	6.	Limited soil geochemical surveying, carried out across some of these interpreted northwest-southeast trending structural features, has revealed several locations hosting anomalous gold in soils (statistically established to be gold values exceeding 10 parts per billion);

	7.	G old appears to be further concentrated at the intersection between the northwest-southeast trending structural features and northeast-southwest trending structural features, interpreted to represent later cross faults; and

	8.	These associations suggest a relationship between structures and gold, in turn providing a basis upon which to select additional areas within the Handeni property for more detailed gold exploration.

	i)	KW2_01 with 4.40 g/t over 12 meters, including 29.5 g/t over 1 m as well as 3.54 g/t over 1 m;
	ii)	KW2_07 with 6.20 g/t over 5 m including 29.60 g/t over 1 m;
	iii)	KW1_08 with 1.1 g/t over 9 m including 5.67 g/t over 1 m;
	iv)	KW1_14 with 1.74 g/t over 6 m including 2.45 g/t over 2m and 3.51 g/t over 1m;
	v)	KW1_07 and KW4_03 each with 2.11 g/t over 1 m, and
	vi)	KW2_08 with 3.70 g/t over 1 m.

	An important feature of the Kwandege target is the fact that low level gold values (0.5 g/t to 1 g/t) were encountered in numerous intersections in the drill holes and also confirmed by the latest assay results. Anomalous gold with some potentially economic intersections have been encountered in an E - W (strike) direction of 1,501 meters (based on the results of the completed phase 1 drilling program). The open ended nature of the mineralization in an E-W direction was confirmed.

	The structural control on the gold mineralization is an important feature of mineralization at Kwandege. Based on the current results, gold is particularly enriched in the upper of two garnet amphibolite layers separated by a felsic gneiss unit. Within the garnet amphibolite, gold is most likely concentrated in the proximity of fold noses. The package of garnet amphibolite as well as felsic gneiss units are contained within a SSW towards NNE thrust unit.

g)	A confined alluvial mining evaluation program was initiated to investigate the potential to economically mine alluvial gold on the prospecting licenses.

	a)	the ranking of its seventeen identified targets and upgrading of the most promising targets to drill target status;
	b)	detailed work on the Kwandege project to plan the second phase of drilling; and
	c)	the evaluation of selected alluvial targets.

a)	collected a total of 5,050 soil samples (including blanks and standards) from targets in PL6743 that are currently being analyzed by XRF and prepared for submission to assay laboratories.

b)	Conducted, in collaboration with the Tanzanian Geological Survey, a soil sampling program on Target 6 on PL6779/2010 consisting of a total of 2,658 soil samples and standards have been completed. The soil samples are currently being analyzed.

c)	received the results of the soil sampling program on Target 5 which to date are highly encouraging with gold in soil values of up to 200 ppb encountered. Au (gold) assay results were received for 2,331 samples. The geochemical target coincides with a magnetic and electro-magnetic geophysical anomaly on surface over an area of approximately 1.8 km (N-S) by 900 m (E-W). The anomalous gold zone apparently dips E - SE as part of a large fold structure. High Au values coincide with topographic highs. The evaluation of this target will be continued by pitting, trenching and ground IP.

d)	completed the field work to evaluate the alluvial potential of the area selected in the vicinity of our Magambazi East target.

e)	completed the geophysical evaluation of our four PLs.

f)	completed a detailed structural investigation into structural controls on gold mineralization on our 4 prospecting licenses.

g)	completed the evaluation of the alluvial, eluvial and colluvial mineralization of a target to the east of Magambazi hill. The fluvial regime showed the highest potential but the average grade is not high enough to warrant a full scale alluvial operation on this target. The Company will continue its alluvial exploration program and the next target on the list is the alluvial potential of targets surrounding the Kwandege and Mjembe deposits.

h)	completed a structural model on the 800km²license area and used this to modify the model and style of mineralization envisaged for the Handeni district. The Company is currently applying this model to better understand our current targets and to assist the generation of drill positions for each target. Ground geophysics will be utilized to support the structural model.

i)	completed a ground geophysics investigation on the Mjembe target to the southeast of Magambazi. The Company completed a soil sampling program and the desk top XRF analyses of 5,028 samples and standards on the Mjembe project. Combined with the geophysics and the structural geology the geochemical signature of this mineralized area is highly encouraging.

	a)	Identification of potential alluvial mining areas other than those currently know and being evaluated by utilizing remote sensing activities.

	b)	A detailed geophysical interpretation of already collected geophysical data.

	c)	A petrological, geochemical and mineralogical investigation of the Kwandege drill core to understand the style of gold mineralization at this locality.

	d)	XRF (hand held) analyses of soil samples taken to produce an algorithm to relate Au anomalies to soil geochemistry. The aim is to reduce assay cost as well as to characterize the two main styles of mineralization identified on the Handeni properties. This exercise is largely completed and the Company has made significant progress, particularly on the Mjembe target.

a)	We collected a total of 5,050 soil samples (including blanks and standards) from targets in PL6743 that are currently being analyzed by XRF and prepared for submission to assay laboratories. In collaboration with the Tanzanian Geological Survey a soil sampling program on Target 6 on PL6779/2010 consisting of a total of 2,658 soil samples and standards have been completed. The soil samples are currently being analyzed.

b)	We received the results of the soil sampling program on Target 5 which to date are highly encouraging with gold in soil values of up to 200 ppb encountered. Au (gold) assay results were received for 2,331 samples. The geochemical target coincides with a magnetic and electro-magnetic geophysical anomaly on surface over an area of approximately 1.8 km (N-S) by 900 m (E-W). The anomalous gold zone apparently dips E - SE as part of a large fold structure. High Au values coincide with topographic highs. The evaluation of this target will be continued by pitting, trenching and ground IP.

c)	We completed the field work to evaluate the alluvial potential of the area selected in the vicinity of our Magambazi East target.

d)	We completed the geophysical evaluation and a detailed structural investigation into structural controls on gold mineralization on our 4 prospecting licenses.

e)	We completed the evaluation of the alluvial, eluvial and colluvial mineralization of a target to the east of Magambazi hill. The fluvial regime showed the highest potential but the average grade is not high enough to warrant a full scale alluvial operation on this target. The Company will continue its alluvial exploration program and the next target on the list is the alluvial potential of targets surrounding the Kwandege and Mjembe deposits.

f)	We completed a structural model on the 800km²license area and used this to modify the model and style of mineralization envisaged for the Handeni district. The Company is currently applying this model to better understand our current targets and to assist the generation of drill positions for each target. Ground geophysics will be utilized to support the structural model.

g)	We completed a ground geophysics investigation on the Mjembe target to the southeast of Magambazi. The Company completed a soil sampling program and the desk top XRF analyses of 5,028 samples and standards on the Mjembe project. Combined with the geophysics and the structural geology the geochemical signature of this mineralized area is highly encouraging.

a)	the identification of potential alluvial mining areas other than those currently know and being evaluated by utilizing remote sensing activities.

b)	A detailed geophysical interpretation of already collected geophysical data.

c)	A petrological, geochemical and mineralogical investigation of the Kwandege drill core to understand the style of gold mineralization at this locality.

d)	XRF (hand held) analyses of soil samples taken to produce an algorithm to relate Au anomalies to soil geochemistry. The aim is to reduce assay cost as well as to characterize the two main styles of mineralization identified on the Handeni properties. This exercise is largely completed and the Company has made significant progress, particularly on the Mjembe target.

1.	Nature of Operations and Continuance of Business

	The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on January 5, 2004. On February 14, 2012, the Company changed its name from Douglas Lake Minerals Inc. to Handeni Gold Inc. (the “Company”). The Company is an Exploration Stage Company, as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 915, Development Stage Entities. The Company’s principal business is the acquisition and exploration of mineral resources located in Tanzania, Africa. The Company has not presently determined whether its properties contain mineral reserves that are economically recoverable.

	These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has never generated revenues since inception and has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends or generate earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations and to determine the existence, discovery and successful exploitation of economically recoverable reserves in its resource properties, confirmation of the Company’s interests in the underlying properties, and the attainment of profitable operations. As at May 31, 2013, the Company has not generated any revenues and has accumulated losses of $113,648,692 since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company plans to raise equity and/or debt financing to fund its operations. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

2.	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 subsidiaries described as follows. In June 2011, the Company incorporated in Tanzania a new wholly-owned subsidiary, HG Limited (formerly DLM Tanzania Limited), which undertakes mineral property exploration activities in Tanzania. The Company also has a wholly-owned non-operating Tanzanian subsidiary (Douglas Lake Tanzania Limited).

		All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The Company’s fiscal year-end is May 31.

	b)	Use of Estimates

		The preparation of consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses in the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the recoverability and useful life of long-lived assets, mineral prospecting licenses, stock-based compensation, deferred income tax asset valuation allowances and contingent liabilities. 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.

	c)	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.

	d)	Comprehensive Income (Loss)

		ASC 220, Comprehensive Income establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income (loss) and its components in the financial statements. As at May 31, 2013, the Company’s only component of other comprehensive loss and accumulated other comprehensive loss is an unrealized fair value loss on available for sale marketable securities.

	e)	Cash and Cash Equivalents

		Cash and cash equivalents are carried at fair value and they comprise cash on hand, deposits held with banks and other highly liquid investments. Highly liquid investments are readily convertible to cash and generally have maturities of three months or less from the time acquired. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with high quality financial institutions which the Company believes limits credit risk.

2.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

	f)	Marketable Securities

		The Company reports investments in marketable equity securities at fair value based on quoted market prices. All investment securities are designated as available for sale with unrealized gains and losses included in stockholders’ equity. Unrealized losses that are other than temporary are recognized in earnings. Realized gains and losses are accounted for on the specific identification method.

		The Company periodically reviews these investments for other-than-temporary declines in fair value based on the specific identification method and writes down investments to their fair value when an other-than-temporary decline has occurred. When determining whether a decline is other-than-temporary, the Company examines (i) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value of an investment has been lower than its carrying value: (ii) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the investee, including any specific events that may influence the operations of the investee such as changes in technology that may impair the earnings potential of the investee: and (iii) the Company’s intent and ability to retain its investment in the investee for a sufficient period of time to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value. The Company generally believes that an other-than-temporary decline has occurred when the fair value of the investment is below the carrying value for one year, absent of evidence to the contrary.

	g)	Property and Equipment

		Property and equipment consists of office equipment, automobiles and computer software recorded at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis as follows:

	h)	Mineral Property Costs

		The Company has been in the exploration stage since its inception on January 5, 2004 and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties. Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred. Mineral prospecting licenses and mineral property acquisition costs are initially capitalized. The Company assesses the carrying costs for impairment under ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment at each fiscal quarter end. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs then incurred to develop such property, are capitalized. Such costs will be amortized using the units-of- production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve. If mineral properties are subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs will be charged to operations.

	i)	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 its fair value which is generally determined based on 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.

	j)	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 May 31, 2013 and 2012.

2.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

	k)	Financial Instruments

		ASC 825, Financial Instruments requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and the fair value of financial instruments, which include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash equivalent, restricted marketable securities, accounts payable and loan from related party were estimated to approximate their carrying values due to the immediate or short-term maturities of these financial instruments.

		The Company’s operations are in Canada and Africa, which results in exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency rates. The financial risk is the risk to the Company’s operations that arise from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk.

	l)	Income Taxes

		The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. The asset and liability method provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and for operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.

	m)	Foreign Currency Translation

		The functional and reporting currency of the Company is the United States dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated to United States dollars in accordance with ASC 830 Foreign Currency Translation Matters, using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at rates of exchange in effect at the date of the transaction. Average rates are used to translate revenues and expenses.

		Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income. The Company has not, to the date of these financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

		To the extent that the Company incurs transactions that are not denominated in its functional currency, they are undertaken in Canadian dollars (“Cdn$”) and Tanzanian shillings. The Company has not, to the date of these financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

	n)	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.

	o)	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

		The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its consolidated financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

	p)	Reclassification

		Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years’ financial statements to conform to the current years’ presentation.

	The four million restricted shares of common stock of Ruby Creek Resources Inc. (“RCR”) were issued to the Company on December 16, 2010 as partial consideration to purchase the mineral property interests under the agreements between RCR and the Company. The initial fair market value of these shares was $2,760,000 based on RCR’s quoted stock price on the issuance date. Refer to Note 7b) for details on the agreements with RCR. As of May 31, 2013, the fair market value of these shares was $140,000 (May 31, 2012: $1,160,000) based on RCR’s quoted stock price and recorded as non-current assets. During the year ended May 31, 2013, the Company determined that $1,600,000 of unrealized losses were other than temporary and were recognized as an other expense in net loss and were removed from accumulated other comprehensive loss.

7.	Mineral Properties and Licenses

	a)	Handeni Properties, Tanzania, Africa

		On September 21, 2010, the Company completed a Mineral Property Acquisition Agreement with IPP Gold Limited (“IPP Gold”), and the Company acquired four prospecting licenses (“PLs”) totalling approximately 800 square kilometres, located in the Handeni District of Tanzania (the “Handeni Properties”). IPP Gold retained a 2.5% net smelter royalty (“NSR”) on the Handeni Properties and the Company has the option to reduce the NSR to 1.25% by paying $5,000,000. If the NSR is reduced to 1.25% the maximum NSR for any year is capped at $1,000,000. In any year the NSR payment is less than $1,000,000 the difference between the actual NSR payment and $1,000,000 will be carried forward to subsequent years. In addition if the London spot price for gold is equal to or greater than $1,500 then the NSR will increase from 2.5% to 3%. The Company issued 133,333,333 restricted shares of common stock to IPP Gold to acquire the Handeni Properties and no further payments to IPP Gold in shares or cash are required.

7.	Mineral Properties and Licenses (continued)

	a)	Handeni Properties, Tanzania, Africa (continued)

		On September 1, 2010, the Company entered into a Transaction Fee Agreement with a consultant for services related to soliciting offers from and in assisting in the negotiation with potential Company financiers, purchasers, acquisition targets and/or joint venture development partners (each such party being a “Potential Investor”). The initial term of the agreement is a period of 60 days and automatically renews monthly unless otherwise specifically renewed in writing by each party or terminated by the Company. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company agreed to pay the consultant a transaction fee for each completed property acquisition transaction in Tanzania (a “Completed Transaction”). The transaction fee is 12.5% of the shares issuable under each Completed Transaction, payable in restricted common shares at the lowest priced security issuable under each Completed Transaction. On September 30, 2010, the Company issued 16,666,667 restricted shares of common stock pursuant to the Transaction Fee Agreement in relation to the acquisition of the Handeni Properties.

		The fair value of the 133,333,333 shares of the Company’s common stock issued to IPP Gold pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement and the 16,666,667 shares of the Company’s common stock issued pursuant to the Transaction Fee Agreement totalled $60,000,000.

		On November 30, 2010, the capitalized acquisition costs of the Handeni Properties were tested for impairment by the Company’s management as required by ASC 360. Management determined that no positive cash flows from the Handeni Properties could be identified or supported and a full impairment loss was recognized in expenses for the $60,000,000 acquisition cost.

		On August 5, 2011, the Company entered a Mineral Property Acquisition Agreement (the “2011 Acquisition Agreement”) with Handeni Resources Limited (“Handeni Resources”), a limited liability company registered under the laws of Tanzania. The Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company has an existing ownership and/or beneficial interest(s) in Handeni Resources. Pursuant to the 2011 Acquisition Agreement, the Company had an exclusive option to acquire from Handeni Resources a 100% interest in mineral licenses covering an area of approximately 2.67 square kilometres to the east of Magambazi Hill, which is adjacent to the area covered by the Company’s four existing PLs (totalling approximately 800 square kilometres) in the Handeni District.

		On November 30, 2011, the Company completed the 2011 Acquisition Agreement and issued 15,000,000 restricted common shares to Handeni Resources as payment. As at November 30, 2011, the fair market price of the Company’s common stock was $0.11 per share; accordingly, the Company recorded a total fair market value of $1,650,000 as the mineral licenses acquisition cost.

		To comply with the laws and regulations of the Republic of Tanzania whereby foreign companies may not own primary mining licenses (“PMLs”), on July 19, 2012, the Company entered into an Addendum agreement to the 2011 Acquisition Agreement whereby Handeni Resources, on behalf of the Company, administers the 32 PMLs until such time as a mining license on the 32 PMLs (2.67 km²) have been allocated. During this period Handeni Resources is conducting exploration and mining activities on the PMLs as directed by the Company.

		During the year ended May 31, 2013, the Company paid $106,081 (2012 - $31,596) in annual rental and license renewal fees related to the Company’s four PLs and 32 PMLs, which were recorded as exploration expenses.

	b)	Mkuvia Alluvial Gold Project, Tanzania, Africa

		The Mkuvia Alluvial Gold Project is comprised of four PLs covering a total area of 380 square kilometers and is located in the Nachingwea District, Lindi Region of the Republic of Tanzania. The Company is aware that the four PLs expired during May and June of 2012. The Company is currently evaluating whether any viable interest remains in these PLs, but no final determination has been made as of yet. As at May 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company has no capitalized costs related to the Mkuvia Alluvial Gold Project.

		By way of background, on June 27, 2008, the Company entered into a Joint Venture Agreement that grants the Company the right to explore for minerals on properties in Liwale and Nachigwea Districts of Tanzania known as the Mkuvia Alluvial Gold Project, in consideration for the payment of $1,000,000 (paid) upon signing the agreement and $540,000 over five years beginning July 15, 2008. The $540,000 is payable in stages on a quarterly basis of which $80,000 must be paid in the first year, and $460,000 over the next five years. The holder of the property licenses retains a net smelter royalty return of 3%.

		On June 5, 2009, the Company entered into a new joint venture which reduced the area covered by the original agreement to approximately 380 square kilometres. Pursuant to the new joint venture agreement, the Company was required to pay $40,000 upon the signing of the new agreement. In addition, the joint venture partner is still entitled to receive a perpetual net smelter royalty return of 3%. By entering into the new joint venture agreement, the Company is no longer required to pay the balance of the $460,000 previously due under the prior joint venture agreement. The new joint venture agreement covers PLs No. 5673/2009, No. 5669/2009, No. 5664/2009, and No. 5662/2009, all of which were renewed on June 12, 2009 for a period of three years.

7.	Mineral Properties and Licenses (continued)

	b)	Mkuvia Alluvial Gold Project, Tanzania, Africa (continued)

		On November 7, 2009, the Company entered into its first agreement with Ruby Creek Resources Inc. (“RCR”) in which RCR has the right to acquire a 70% interest in 125 square kilometres of the Company’s interest in the 380 square kilometres covered by the four PLs in the Mkuvia Alluvial Gold Project in consideration for $3,000,000 payable as follows:

		i)	$100,000 within 5 business days of signing the agreement (received);

		ii)	$150,000 within 15 business days of signing the agreement (received);

		iii)	$100,000 upon satisfactory completion of RCR due diligence (received);

		iv)	$400,000 upon closing and receipt the first mining license;

		v)	$750,000 payable within 12 months of closing;

		vi)	$750,000 payable within 24 months of closing, and

		vii)	$750,000 payable within 36 months of closing. This payment may be made in common shares of RCR. The shares will be valued at the 10 day average trading price of RCR’s common stock prior to the payment date.

	i)	$200,000 due within seven days of execution of the Agreement (received) with $100,000 applied towards costs of environmental permitting and the initial mining license (applied);

	ii)	$150,000 (received) plus the issuance of four million restricted shares of common stock of RCR, with an agreed upon value of $0.80 per share for a deemed valuation of $3,200,000, within 30 days of the receipt of Certificates of Acknowledgement for all underlying and related Agreements from the Commissioner for Minerals in Tanzania as required by the Mining Act of Tanzania (Certificates of Acknowledgement received August 12, 2010). The four million restricted shares of common stock of RCR were issued to the Company on December 16, 2010 and had a fair market value totaling $2,760,000 based on RCR’s quoted stock price on that date.

	iii)	$450,000 on June 1, 2011 (unpaid);

	iv)	$1,000,000 on June 1, 2012 (unpaid); and

	v)	$1,000,000 on June 1, 2013 (which may be satisfied by the issuance of stock by RCR).

		Thus, the combined payments under the November 7, 2009 and the May 24, 2010 agreements provide for a total commitment of $9,000,000 payable to the Company by RCR to purchase a 70% interest in the entire 380 square kilometre Mkuvia Alluvial Gold Project. The ownership structure of the interest in the Mkuvia Alluvial Gold Project shall be a 70% interest RCR, a 25% interest for the Company, and a 5% interest for Mr. Mkuvia Maita, the original owner of the underlying PLs. In addition, Mr. Maita retains a 3% net smelter royalty.

		On June 3, 2010, the Company and RCR incorporated Ruby Creek Resources (Tanzania) Limited (“Ruby Creek Tanzania”) to manage the mining operations in the Mkuvia Gold Project in Tanzania. Ruby Creek Resources (Tanzania) Limited, a joint venture company (the “Joint Venture Company”), is owned by Ruby Creek Resources (70%), the Company (25%) and Mr. Mkuvia Maita (5%).

		During fiscal 2011 the Company recognized a total of $3,110,000 in other income for the receipt of the shares at fair market value and the option payments (i) and (ii). The Company has not yet received the $450,000 option payment (iii) nor received the $1,000,000 option payment (iv) which are overdue and the agreement is in default. PLs numbered 5664/2009 and 5669/2009, which form a part of the joint venture project, were registered to a third party without the Company’s approval.

		RCR filed a lawsuit against the Company in the Supreme Court, State of New York, on February 8, 2012, alleging the Company’s involvement in a fraudulent transfer and breach of agreements. The Company is of the view that such allegations are without merit and intends to continue to vigorously defend against the RCR lawsuit and to pursue its claims against RCR in New York. (Also see Note 13 d), below).

	c)	On April 27, 2006, the Company entered into a Strategic Alliance Agreement with Canaco Resources Inc. (“Canaco”), a Canadian public company. In connection with this agreement, the Company was required to issue 200,000 restricted shares of common stock with a fair value of $88,000. During fiscal 2012, it was determined that the Company no longer has any obligations under this agreement, including the obligation to issue such 200,000 shares, and therefore $88,000 was recorded as a recovery of mineral property costs for stock no longer issuable.
