3.A.3.  Exchange Rates

In this Registration Statement, unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in Canadian Dollars (CDN$).  The Government of Canada permits a floating exchange rate to determine the value of the Canadian Dollar against the U.S. Dollar (US$).


Table No. 4 sets forth the exchange rates for the Canadian Dollar at the end of five most recent fiscal years ended March 31st and for the six-month periods ended September 30th.  The average rates for the periods, and the range of high and low rates for the periods.  The data for each month during the most recent eight months is also provided.


For purposes of this table, the rate of exchange means the noon buying rate in New York City for cable transfers in foreign currencies as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.  The table sets forth the number of Canadian Dollars required under that formula to buy one U.S. Dollar.  The average rate means the average of the exchange rates on the last day of each month during the period.

3.D.  Risk Factors


Keegan Has Not Yet Achieved Profitable Operations and Expects to Incur Further Losses in the Development of Its Business, All of Which Casts Substantial Doubt About the Company’s ability to continue as a Going Concern.  

The Company’s Ability to Continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due.  


Keegan Has No Revenues from Operations and No Ongoing Mining Operations of Any Kind. The Chances of Keegan Ever Reaching the Development Stage Are Remote.

The expenditures to be made by Keegan in the exploration of its properties as described herein may not result in discoveries of mineralized material in commercial quantities.  Most exploration projects do not result in the discovery of commercially mineable ore deposits and this occurrence could ultimately result in Keegan having to cease operations. Management feels that if exploration efforts were unsuccessful for a period of ten years, the Company would cease operations. If that were the case, investors would lose their entire investment in the company.


Keegan Has No Reserves on the Properties in Which It Has an Interest and If Reserves Are Not Defined the Company Could Have to Cease Operations:

The properties in which Keegan has an interest or the concessions in which Keegan has the right to earn an interest are in the exploratory stage only and are without a known body of ore.  If Keegan does not ultimately find a body of ore, it would have to cease operations. As stated above, management believes that if reserves are not defined on any of the properties on which Keegan has an interest after a period of ten years, the Company would cease operations. If that were the case, investors would lose their entire investment in the Company.









9



Keegan Has No Positive Cash Flow and No Recent History of Significant Earnings and Is Dependent Upon Public and Private Distributions of Equity to Obtain Capital in Order to Sustain Operations. The sale of securities to the public results in dilution to existing shareholders:

None of Keegan ’s properties have advanced to the commercial production stage and Keegan has no history of earnings or positive cash flow from operations. Keegan does not know if it will ever generate material revenue from mining operations or if it will ever achieve self-sustaining commercial mining operations. Historically, the only source of funds available to Keegan has been through the sale of its common shares. Any future additional equity financing would cause dilution to current stockholders.


Keegan currently has 2,655,000 share purchase options outstanding and 1,986,350-share purchase warrants outstanding. If all of the share purchase warrants and share purchase options were exercised, the number of common shares issued and outstanding would increase from 16,114,871 (as of 11/20/2006) to 20,756,221 .  This represents an increase of 29% in the number of shares issued and outstanding and would result in significant dilution to current shareholders.


Dilution Through Employee/Director/Consultant Options Could Adversely Affect Keegan’s Stockholders

Because the success of Keegan is highly dependent upon its respective employees, the Company has granted to some or all of its key employees, Directors and consultants options to purchase common shares as non-cash incentives.  To the extent that significant numbers of such options may be granted and exercised, the interests of the other stockholders of the Company may be diluted. There are currently 2,655,000 share purchase options outstanding, which, if exercised, would result in an additional 2,655,000 common shares being issued and outstanding. (For a breakdown of dilution, refer to the risk factor entitled: “Keegan Has Minimal Positive Cash Flow and No Recent History of Significant Earnings and Is Dependent Upon Public and Private Distributions of Equity to Obtain Capital in Order to Sustain Operations. Public distributions of capital result in dilution to existing shareholders”)

 

The Amount of Capital Necessary to Meet All Environmental Regulations Associated with the Exploration Programs of Keegan Could Be In An Amount Great Enough to Force Keegan to Cease Operations:

The current and anticipated future operations of Keegan, including further exploration activities require permits from various Federal and Provincial governmental authorities in Canada, the United States and the Republic of Ghana.   Such operations are subject to various laws governing land use, the protection of the environment, production, exports, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, mine safety and other matters.  Unfavorable amendments to current laws, regulations and permits governing operations and activities of resource exploration companies, or more stringent implementation thereof, could have a materially adverse impact on the Company and cause increases in capital expenditures which could result in a cessation of operations by the Company.


Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions there under, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing operations to cease or be curtailed, and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment or remedial actions. Parties engaged in resource exploration may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of the mining activities and may have civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed for violation of applicable laws or regulations.




10


Large increases in capital expenditures resulting from any of the above factors could force Keegan to cease operations. If that were the case, investors would lose their entire investment in the Company.


The Risks Associated with Penny Stock Classification Could Affect the Marketability of the Common Stock of Keegan and Shareholders Could Find It Difficult to Sell Their Stock:

Keegan’s stock is subject to “penny stock” rules as defined in 1934 Securities and Exchange Act rule 3a51-1.  The Commission has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks.  Keegan ’s common shares are subject to these penny stock rules. Transaction costs associated with purchases and sales of penny stocks are likely to be higher than those for other securities.  Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than U.S. $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system).


The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market.  The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account.  The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation.


In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from such rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction.  These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the Company’s common shares in the United States and shareholders may find it more difficult to sell their shares.


Keegan is Dependent on Key Personnel and the Absence of Any of These Individuals Could Result in the Company Having to Cease Operations:

While engaged in the business of exploring mineral properties, the nature of Keegan  ’s business, its ability to continue its exploration of potential exploration projects, and to develop a competitive edge in the marketplace, depends, in large part, on its ability to attract and maintain qualified key management personnel.  Competition for such personnel is intense and the Company may not be able to attract and retain such personnel.  Keegan’s growth will depend, on the efforts of its Senior Management, particularly its President, Daniel T. McCoy, its Chief Financial Officer, Tony Ricci, its Corporate Secretary, Michael Bebek and its Board of Directors that includes Richard Haslinger, Robert McLeod, and Gordon Fretwell, in addition to Mr. McCoy and Mr. Ricci. Keegan does not carry key-man insurance on any individuals. Dr. McCoy and Mr. Bebek are under contract to Keegan.










11




U.S. Investors May Not Be Able to Enforce Their Civil Liabilities Against Us or Our Directors, Controlling Persons and Officers

It may be difficult to bring and enforce suits against Keegan.  Keegan is a corporation incorporated in the province of British Columbia under the British Columbia Corporations Act.  A majority of the Company's directors must be residents of Canada, and all or substantial portions of their assets are located outside of the United States, predominately in Canada.  As a result, it may be difficult for U.S. holders of our common shares to effect service of process on these persons within the United States or to realize in the United States upon judgments rendered against them.  In addition, a shareholder should not assume that the courts of Canada (i) would enforce judgments of U.S. courts obtained in actions against us or such persons predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws or other laws of the United States, or (ii) would enforce, in original actions, liabilities against us or such persons predicated upon the U.S. federal securities laws or other laws of the United States.


As a "foreign private Keegan ”, Keegan is exempt from the Section 14 proxy rules and Section 16 of the 1934 Securities Act May Result in Shareholders Having Less Complete and Timely Data

The submission of proxy and annual meeting of shareholder information (prepared to Canadian standards) on Form 6-K may result in shareholders having less complete and timely data.  The exemption from Section 16 rules regarding sales of common shares by insiders may result in shareholders having less data.

4.B.  BUSINESS OVERVIEW


Historical Corporate Development

Keegan is a natural resource company currently engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral resources in Canada, the United States of America and West Ghana. Traditionally, the Company has been involved in the exploration for mineral resources.


After Keegan became public on June 22, 2001, the Company searched for resource property acquisitions. At the time Keegan was classified as a “capital pool company”.


Under the TSX Venture Exchange’s Policy 2.4, a company with only minimal working capital is allowed to list on the Exchange for the purposes of negotiating an acquisition of, or the participation in, assets or businesses. Such companies are classified as a “Capital Pool Company”, or “CPC” and are governed by a specific set of rules and regulations.


The sole purpose of a CPC is to identify and evaluate existing businesses or assets for possible acquisition, which if acquired, would provide the company for a full listing on the TSX-V. The only business a CPC is allowed to conduct prior to its Initial Public Offering and listing on the TSX-V is to prepare for its offering. This typically consists of raising a limited amount of seed capital, establishing a management team and board of directors, as well as hiring professionals to assist in the offering, including an auditor, legal counsel, and an agent for the Offering.


The minimum total of seed capital raised must be equal to or greater than $100,000. The maximum gross proceeds from the IPO must be at least $200,000 but not exceed $1,900,000. Once the IPO is completed, the company will use the net proceeds to seek and finance a business in order to complete its “Qualifying Transaction” (“QT”). Once a suitable asset or business has been identified, the CPC will attempt to negotiate an acquisition or participation in the asset or business. The management of the CPC will negotiate with the targeted acquisition regarding acquisition terms. The Board of Directors of the CPC will examine proposed acquisitions on the basis of business fundamentals before approving any proposed transaction.


From the date of listing on the TSX-V, the CPC originally had 18 months (now 24 months) to complete its QT. If the CPC had not completed its QT in that timeframe, the CPC’s shares would be suspended from trading, and possibly face delisting, until such time as a QT has been approved and completed.





15


The CPC may used cash, secured or unsecured debt, the issuance of securities, or a combination thereof, in order to finance its acquisition as its QT. Any QT is subject to approval by the majority of the minority shareholders of the CPC, approval from the TSX-V, and sponsorship of a TSX-V member firm. Trading in the CPC stock will initially be halted from trading before the announcement of a pending QT. The stock will remain halted until the Exchange has completed any preliminary background investigations into the proposed transaction and sponsor firm has been retained.


All securities, which will be held by Principals of the proposed post-QT issuer, are required to be held in escrow. Shares will be released from escrow subject to a formula prescribed in the CPC Escrow Agreement, which is subject to approval, by the TSX-V.


Once the QT is complete, the company will resume trading on the TSX-V under its new name and symbol.


On June 11, 2003, Keegan announced that it had entered into a letter of intent to purchase an interest in a property located in Australia. On July 22, 2003, Keegan announced that it had decided not to proceed with this transaction. Keegan decided not to proceed with this transaction because upon further examination of the property, management decided that it did not warrant additional work.


On September 5, 2003, Keegan announced that it entered into another letter of intent to purchase a 100% interest in some mining claims located in British Columbia. This agreement was also terminated during the year ended March 31, 2004 because upon further examination of the property, management decided that it did not warrant additional work.


Keegan had not completed a “QT” by December 2003. The directors of the Company scheduled an extraordinary general meeting of its shareholders to request shareholder approval to the proposed listing of Keegan’s shares on the NEX Exchange. The NEX Exchange is a separate board of the TSX Venture Exchange for companies previously listed on the TSX Venture Exchange or the Toronto Stock Exchange, which have failed to maintain compliance with the ongoing financial listing standards of either of these stock exchanges. (Keegan had not completed a “qualifying transaction” in the time permitted by the TSX Venture Exchange so it did not meet the financial listing standards.) Shareholder approval was obtained and Keegan’s common shares began trading on the NEX Stock Exchange on February 12, 2004.


On September 7, 2004, Keegan entered into agreements with the Hunter Dickinson Group, Inc. (“HDG”), Anaconda Gold Corp. (“Anaconda”) and Barrick Gold Exploration Inc. (“Barrick”) whereby it acquired the right to earn an interest in the Horse Mountain Project located in Nevada.


On January 31, 2005, Keegan announced that the TSX Venture Exchange had accepted the transaction pertaining to the Horse Mountain Project as the “qualifying transaction” for the Company and that it no longer considered Keegan to be a Capital Pool Company.  Keegan was reclassified by the TSX Venture Exchange as a “Gold Ore Mining” company. At this time Keegan’s common share trading moved from the NEX Stock Exchange to the TSX Venture exchange. The share symbol of the Company changed from “QSV.H” to “QSV”.


On March 1, 2005, the Company began trading on the TSX Venture Exchange under the name Keegan Resources with the stock symbol of “KGN”.


On March 4, 2005, Keegan announced that it had entered into an option agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the Regent Gold Silver Project located in Mineral County, Nevada.



16


On March 11, 2005, Keegan announced that it had entered into an option agreement to acquire the Asumura Gold Project located in West Ghana.


On May 31, 2005, Keegan announced that it had entered into an option agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the Fri Property located in Nye County, Nevada. During Fiscal 2006, ended 3/31/2006, the Company decided not to pursue its options agreement pertaining to the Fri Property. Management came to this conclusion because, after completing preliminary exploration work, they decided that the results did not warrant further work.


On December 7, 2005, Keegan announced that it had entered into an option agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the Black Velvet Gold Project located in Pershing County, Nevada.


During Fiscal 2006, ended 3/31/2006, management announced that it had decided not to pursue the Company’s option to earn an interest in the Horse Mountain Claims and that as a result, $1,018,587 in acquisition and deferred exploration expenditures associated with the property were written-off. Management took this action because it decided to concentrate the Company’s efforts on its more recent acquisitions.


As at September 30, 2006 Keegan had cash of $29,223. Subsequent to that date, Keegan completed a private placement financing, as disclosed in ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY, Financings, raising $3,600,000. Outstanding share purchase warrants from previous financings, if exercised, would raise an additional $3,317,335. (There is no guarantee that these share purchase warrants will be exercised.) Outstanding share purchase options, if exercised, would raise an additional $4,275,600. (There is no guarantee that these share purchase options will be exercised.)


Keegan has budgeted $11,200,000 for general/administrative expenses, $3,000,000 for property acquisition costs and $6,000,000 for exploration expenses through the end of Fiscal 2008, ending March 31st.


Management believes that with the cash the Company currently has on hand and with the potential exercise of the share purchase options and share purchase warrants, Keegan will be able to fund its expenditures through March 31, 2008 without additional sales of common stock.

Material Effects of Government Regulations

The current and anticipated future operations of Keegan including further exploration activities, require permits from various Canadian, U.S. and West Ghanaian, Federal, Provincial, and/or state governmental agencies.  Such operations are subject to various laws governing land use, the protection of the environment, production, exports, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, well safety and other matters.  Unfavorable amendments to current laws, regulations and permits governing operations and activities of resource exploration companies, or more stringent implementation thereof, could have a materially adverse impact on Keegan and cause increases in capital expenditures which could result in a cessation of operations by Keegan.  Keegan has had no material costs related to compliance and/or permits in recent years, and anticipates no material costs in the next year.

Within the property boundary, one existing claim, REGENT #9, controlled by Ventures Nevada, has been excluded from the lease. The claim has a small pad with crushed material stacked upon it, with the activity pre-dating Kennecott’s involvement on the property. None of the Company’s anticipated exploration activity occurs within the excluded claim.


The property is wholly under the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The regional office of the BLM responsible for permit approval on the property is located in Carson City, Nevada.


Accessibility, Climate, Infrastructure and Physiography

Gentle to moderate topographic relief at elevations of 1650-1800m characterizes the Regent Gold Project area. Temperatures range from -15 to 40 degrees centigrade, with daytime temperatures ranging from –5 degrees centigrade in the winter to 40 degrees centigrade in the summer. Annual precipitation is 12 – 17 cm, falling predominantly in December through April. Major mines in the region operate 365 days per year.


Fallon, the nearest full service town, is about 70 kilometers by road. Paved state highway and graveled county roads extend all the way to the property and are adequate for tracked or rubber tired drilling or excavating equipment to access the property.

Regional and Property Geology

The property is located along the northeast margin of the northwest trending Walker Lane Belt. The primary units of the Belt are Tertiary volcanics which have been known to host epithermal silver/gold deposits of both low and high sulfidation types, with the low more common in the northern portion of the Belt, and the high more common in the southern portion. The property covers a series of Tertiary volcanics and related intrusions which have undergone extensive hydrothermal alteration and mineralization. Local breccia zones and faults have acted as conduits for mineralizing hydrothermal fluids. Veins and low-grade mineralization display NNW, NE and ENE trends. Most of the Tertiary volcanics in the Belt have significant magnetic content and produce relative magnetic highs. Hydrothermal alteration associated with epithermal deposits are, on the other hand, magnetic lows. The property contains two prominent magnetic lows. One is a semi-circular feature the eastern margin of which defines the area of Kennecott’s most dense drilling as described below. The second is a linear ENE trending magnetic anomaly which is poorly understood as it has not yet been well explored.


History

The Rawhide gold, silver district (2.5 km SE of Regent) was discovered on Christmas day in 1906. Within a few years, up to 10,000 people occupied the historical town of Rawhide. Most of the historical mining in both the Rawhide and Regent areas took place during this time. By 1909, most of the easily accessible veins that were economic using technology of the day had been mined. By 1910, the population had dropped significantly and the final resident left in 1966. A total of 80,000 ounces of gold and 600,000 ounces of silver were mined in the district throughout these years. Only minor activity took place until the 1980’s. Newmont Mining Corporation (“Newmont”), an unrelated public company, was the first modern mining exploration company to explore at Regent, drilling a total of 111 holes. Kennecott Mining Co. (“Kennecott”), an unrelated public company, acquired the Rawhide property in 1982 and began open pit – heap leach mining operations in 1990 and continued through 2004.

During exploration and development of the Rawhide district, Kennecott also acquired and explored the Regent property, drilling a total of 469 holes, thus bringing the total number of drill holes on the Regent property to 580. Of these holes, 573 are reverse circulation holes; only 7 are core. The average depth of the holes is 477 feet; only five holes exceed 800 feet in depth. Less than 20% of the holes are angled. Kennecott also performed a ground magnetic survey over the region.


Newmont and Kennecott designed their exploration programs to delineate bulk tonnage resources. According to unpublished memos written by Mine Development Associates of Reno, Kennecott delineated a gold and silver resource using a $300 US gold price. The Regent resource was permitted for mining, but plans to mine were aborted due to sub US$300 gold prices when Kennecott ceased mining at Rawhide in 2002. At that time, Kennecott ended its active gold exploration programs in the Great Basin due to low gold prices as well as a change in corporate strategy.


Between 1995 and 2001 Jerry Baughman slowly gained control of the Regent property by staking lapsed claims and obtaining quit claim deeds from other parties no longer interested in the district. By 2001, the Baughman’s and newcomer Nevada Sunrise Mining, LLC were the only two parties remaining. In 2002, Nevada Sunrise commissioned Mine Development Associates (MDA) of Reno, Nevada to deliver a new reserve model. MDA performed their estimate on the low-grade resource at various gold price levels. By 2004 Nevada Sunrise Mining, LLC quitclaimed all of their property to the Baughman’s in exchange for interests in other of Baughman’s properties.

The property was brought to the attention of Keegan Resources Inc. by Hunter Dickinson Inc. Hunter Dickinson was attracted to the property because significant high-grade drill intercepts both within and outside of Kennecott’s resource area at Regent represents a similar scenario to that which resulted in the Hollister discovery by one of the Hunter Dickinson companies. Hunter Dickinson collected 117 surface rock chip samples, re-logged approximately 7,600m of RC drill chips and 600m of diamond drill core and compiled drill cross-sections and a geologic map of the Regent property as part of its property assessment. This sampling confirmed the presence of high-grade, gold-silver, epithermal quartz veins exposed at surface previously indicated by the high-grade intercepts at depth.


Hunter Dickinson decided not to enter into negotiations for the property, because of its current focus on advanced staged mine development opportunities.


Recent Activities by Keegan

Keegan has completed a four hole drill program on this property. One of these drill holes, Hole R05-02, intersected 52.5 feet at 2.7 g/t gold including 13.5 feet of 5.5 g/t gold and 3.7 feet of 12.6 g/t gold, whereas Hole R05-01 intersected 4.6 feet of 166 g/t silver. Hole R05-04, designed to intersect a down dip extension of the structure intercepted in R-05-02, encountered difficult drilling conditions in a clay zone at the projected structure. Over 36 feet were drilled without any core being recovered.


Currently, oriented core measurements, logs and geologic interpretations are being incorporated in the Company’s 3-D model and interpretation of the project in preparation for further drilling.


Planned Work Program

Keegan plans to take the approach to this project of drilling angled and partially oriented core holes to delineate veins with sufficient strike, width and thickness to be mined underground. The Company will initially target structures identified by historical higher grade intercepts (greater than 5 ft, greater than 5 g/t Au), followed by systematic step out drilling along strike, depth and into other underexplored prospective areas within the “hydrothermal boundary” suggested by the magnetic low. To accomplish this goal, the Company has designed an exploration program with 5 top priority drill target areas (see map below). Two are within Kennecott’s mineralized area and the other three are spread out over a 2 km area within the magnetic anomaly. In addition, the Company intends to conduct some pediment soil orientation studies to efficiently explore prospective pediment on the property.

As of September 30, 2006, the Company had expended $ 728,292 in acquisition costs and deferred exploration on the Regent project.



2. The Asumura Project

The Asumura Project is without known reserves and the work being done by Keegan is exploratory in nature. Keegan’s interest in this property stemmed from earlier exploration work, as described below, that was done in the area.


Acquisition of Interest

Keegan entered into an agreement with GTE minerals, an unrelated privately held Ghanaian company, which allows Keegan to acquire 100% of the Asumura Property by performing work expenditures totaling US$1Million, deliver cash payments adding together $100,000 USD and delivering shares of Keegan totaling US$100,000 in value over a period of three years, under the following schedule:

Location




[keegan20famend1004.jpg]


The property is located in the southwestern part of Ghana and is divided into two parts by the Bia River. The western part of the property is within the Western Region of Ghana in the Juabeso Bia District and the eastern part is in the Brong Ahafo Region of Ghana.  


Accessibility, Climate, Infrastructure and Physiography

This property is accessible from the town of Kumasi by road, the majority of which is asphalt. The last 22 miles is a laterite road. Laterite is a surface formation, found mostly in tropical areas, which is enriched in iron and aluminum. Within the property, there is a good network of laterite roads and foot trails, which provide access for the exploration crews.


Annual rainfall is between 58 inches and 78 inches and temperatures vary between 72 degrees and 97 degrees Fahrenheit with an average of about 84 degrees Fahrenheit. A major rainy season occurs from April to July followed by a minor one from September through October.


The closest town, Goaso, is about 24 miles away. It contains hotels, markets and restaurants, hospitals and medical clinics, a cell phone tower, a network of land phones connected to the Ghana Telephone system via radio, and an internet café with satellite dish.


The property itself is sparsely populated.

Land Status, Existing Agreements and Permits to Work


The Asumura property currently consists of two exploration concessions:  Fosukrom and Asumura, which together equal 279.4 sq km.  Keegan entered into an agreement with GTE minerals, an unrelated privately held Ghanaian company, which allows Keegan to acquire 100% of the private interest in the Asumura Property by performing work expenditures totaling US$1Million, deliver cash payments adding together $100,000 USD and delivering shares of Keegan totaling US$100,000 in value over a period of three years. GTE will retain a 3.5% Net Smelter Return, 50% of which may be purchased for $2 million USD by Keegan.  The Ghanaian government is also entitled to claim a 3-6% NSR after the property is converted to a mining license; a 3% has been standard in recent history.  The Ghanaian government is also entitled to participate up to 10% in the project.  


The exploration license allows Keegan permission to trench and drill on the property, providing Keegan obtains a permit from the Environmental Protection Agency.  Keegan obtained its permit for 2006 in January and is currently working on a permit for 2007.


Regional and Property Geology

The property is located in Southwest Ghana which is dominated by the Birmian Supergroup of metasedimentary and metavolcanic rocks with various granitoid intrusions. Within the Birmian Supergroup, northeast striking mafic metavolcanic belts are separated from intervening metasedimentary basins by major faults. The property is situated on the NW edge of the Sefwi-Bibiani Greenstone Belt along a well-defined zone of gold occurrences. It covers a 6 kilometer segment of grandiorite-metasediment contact and a 5 kilometer segment of a metavolcanic-metasediment contact.


Sampling has found gold present in stream sediments, in soils, and in rare rock rubble on the surface. Gold-in-stream sediment sampling by the Company led to the discovery and delineation of three gold-in-soil anomalies. A pilot IP study in the area found significant resistivity and chargeability anomalies coincident with the gold-in-soil anomaly. Trenching to bedrock found the bedrock to consist of iron stained phyllite with abundant secondary sericite and quartz in shear zones.


History

This property was once licensed by Anglo American, an unrelated public company. Keegan is unaware of any surface exploration that Anglo American carried out in the area.  There are no recorded mineral resources, reserves, or production from this property.  When Keegan entered into the option agreement with GTE, there were no known exploration samples of any kind taken from the property.  Zaknet, Inc.  a private Ghanaian company unrelated to Keegan, acquired a reconnaissance concession from the Ghanaian government in 2003.  They quit claimed the property to GTE Minerals in 2004 and Keegan entered into an option agreement with GTE in 2005.


Recent Activities by Keegan

Keegan initially explored the concession using stream sediment techniques.  After discovering significant stream sediment anomalies, Keegan conducted reconnaissance soil sampling in the drainages, which showed anomalous gold in the stream sediments.  Keegan subsequently used grid sampling soil techniques at approximately 100 meter line spacing and 25 meter sample spacing together with IP geophysical surveying.  The end result was the discovery of three distinct anomalies in the Twiapasi, Wagyakrom and Mangoase areas. The Twiapasi and Wagyakrom anomalies are on the southern side of a large topographic depression that hosts the Bia River and one of its major tributaries.  The Mangoase anomaly is on the north side of the trough and parallels the east north east trend. The next phase will include further soil sampling, induced polarization geophysical studies and augur drilling.


25


Keegan received approval from the Ghanaian government during the latter part of 2005 to convert its holdings from reconnaissance to exploration concessions. This conversion allowed exploration trenching and drilling to proceed after successful permitting from the Ghanaian Environmental Protection Agency in early 2006.

 

The Company began drilling at Asumura shortly after receiving the approval from the government. Keegan drilled 124 shallow (30-102 meter) reverse circulation holes and 13 core holes.  Keegan discovered from 10-30 meter widths of 0.5-1.68 g/t Au mineralization at the Wagyakrom and Mangoase anomalies.

 

Subsequent to the initial drilling, Keegan was able to obtain aeromagnetic geophysical data for the entire property that caused Keegan to prioritize the existing Mangoase area and to identify a new potential mineralized structure: the Bia structure, which underlies the previously described topographic depression transcending the length of the property.  This zone had not been previously explored due to alluvial cover.


Keegan is currently working on obtaining an additional permit from the Ghanaian Environmental Protection Agency for the drilling it has planned in spring 2007.


Rock Formations and Mineralization of potential economic significance


The Asumura Concession is located on the major fault bounding structure on the NW edge of the Sefwi-Bibiani Greenstone Belt, a well-defined aeromagnetic feature along which many gold occurrences occur. Volcanic and granitic rocks dominate the belts, while basin sedimentary rocks occur outboard to the belt. Approximately 15 km of this tectonic-depositional boundary is contained within the Asumura Concession.


Condition and Description of Equipment, Plants and Infrastructure


There are no existing equipment, plants or infrastructure on the Asumura project.


Potential sources of power and water


The closest town, Goaso, is about 35 km away. It contains hotels, markets and restaurants, hospitals and medical clinics, a cell phone tower, a network of land phones connected to the Ghana Telephone system via radio, and high voltage, high tension power lines connected to the national power grid.



3. The Black Velvet Gold Project

The Black Velvet Gold Project is without known reserves and the work being done by Keegan is exploratory in nature. Keegan’s interest in this property stemmed from earlier exploration work, as described below, that was done in the area.

















26


[keegan20famend1005.jpg]


Acquisition of Interest

The Company entered into an option agreement dated December 7, 2005 with Gerald Baughman and Fabiola Baughman, two individuals unrelated to Keegan, whereby the Company may acquire 100% interest in the Black Velvet Gold Project in Pershing County, Nevada.


Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will have the option to deliver cash payments of US$150,000 and 150,000 shares of the Company to the Optionors over a period of four years as follows:


27


Deliver cash payment of US$2,500 upon execution of the agreement; US$27,500 on December 1, 2006; US$30,000 on May 31, 2007; US$40,000 on May 31, 2008; and US$50,000 on May 31, 2009.


Issue 10,000 common shares upon Exchange approval; 20,000 common shares on May 31, 2006; 30,000 common shares on May 31, 2007; 40,000 common shares on May 1, 2008; and 50,000 common shares on May 31, 2009.


During the three month period ended 12/31/2005, the Company paid US$2,500 and issued 10,000 common shares as per the terms of the agreement. After meeting these commitments, Keegan will have an undivided 100% interest in the property.


Location

The Black Velvet Gold Project consists of two unpatented Bureau of Land Management claims located in Pershing County Nevada about 26 miles west of the town of Lovelock. It covers an area of approximately 21 acres and is accessible by highway and gravel road.


Accessibility, Climate, Infrastructure and Physiography

The main access to the Velvet Property is State Route 399, a two lane paved road which extends northwestward 35 km from he town of Lovelock in Pershing County, Nevada. An unimproved dirt road continues south 4 km to the Velvet Property. The climate is very dry, with very little vegetation.  Rainfall averages about 20 cm per year and temperature ranges from -5 to 35 degrees Celsius with high diurnal variations. Topography is gentle; several small creeks that are dry most of the year transverse the property.


History

The earliest record of prospecting and gold mining in the Velvet District occurred prior to 1913. In 1994 Uranerz USA, a private company unrelated to Keegan, completed a exploratory drilling program of approximately 8 holes on the Velvet Property.  They received assays showing 28.7 g/t Au over a drilled width of 8 meters starting at 75 meters feet below the surface. Uranerz drilled additional holes around this intercept without having a clear indication of the potential orientation or width of the intercept.  As they did not encounter similar assays in their further holes, they abandoned the property.  The property was intermittently held by various small prospectors until 2005, when Jerry Baughman acquired the property


Recent Activities by Keegan

To date, Keegan has done no work on this property due to its current focus on its Ghana projects. As of September 30, 2006, the Company had expended $18,280 in acquisition costs and zero on exploration.


4. Esaase Gold Property

The Esaase Gold Property is without known reserves and the work being done by Keegan is exploratory in nature. Keegan’s interest in this property stemmed from earlier exploration work, as described below, that was done in the area.


Acquisition of Interest

Under an agreement dated May 9, 2006 between the Company and Sammetro Co. Ltd (“Sammetro”), the Company can earn a 100% interest (subject to the Ghanian Government retaining a 10% underlying interest and NSR) in the Esaase Project located in Ghana. To earn its interest, the Company must pay US$540,000, issue 780,000 common shares, and spend US$2,250,000 in exploration on the project, all over a 4 year period, to both Sammetro and to the Esaase Liquidating Committee (the “Committee”) under the following schedule:


a)

Payment of US$100,000 by May 17, 2006 (paid);


b)

Payment of US$100,000 by June 30, 2006 which payment Sammetro will deliver to the Committee (paid);


28


c)

Payment of US$40,000 on the first anniversary;


d)

Payment of US$300,000 to the Committee over a four year period;


e)

Issuance of 780,000 common shares to Sammetro over a four year period;


f)

expend US$2,250,000 on exploration over a four year period.


In addition, the Company is required to pay Sammetro US$50,000 on the fourth anniversary and every anniversary thereafter until production. Upon production, the Company is required to pay US$100,000 to Sammetro and US$200,000 to the Committee.


A finder’s fee equal to 10% of the consideration paid to Sammetro is also due. To date, US$10,000 and 4,000 common shares have been issued as finder’s fees.


Location

The property is located in southwestern Ghana in the Amansi East district within the Ashanti region. The concession covers 42.32 square kilometers.

[keegan20famend1006.jpg]

Accessibility, Climate, Infrastructure and Physiography

The large towns closest to the concession include the District Assemby in Masno Nkwanta, located approximately 30 kilometers south and one hour by car, or the Kumasi, the regional capital, located 35 kilometers to the northeast, one hour by car. Access is from Kumasi by asphalt roads for the majority of the distance, and then via laterite roads to the town of Tetrem, which is central to the concession and the location of the exploration camp. Roads pass through the length of the concession, and access is available to all areas of the concession by way of numerous roads and trails which are also used by local farmers.


Annual rainfall is between 58 and 78 inches, and and temperatures vary between 72 degrees and 97 degrees Fahrenheit with an average of about 84 degrees Fahrenheit. A major rainy season occurs from April to July followed by a minor one from September through October. The concession is drained by the Bonte River which flows southwest. The river is bounded by steep hills which reach to a height of about 1600 feet in elevation. The area is predominately farmland, with some forest and thick brush.


29


Electricity is available in the 8 villages within the concession and in the exploration camp. No land line telephones are available, but several of the villages have radio phones connected to the telephone grid. Cellular phones have limited coverage in several areas of the concession, and a satellite dish is installed at the exploration camp for internet access. As the regional capital, Kumasi contains a hospital and government offices, and food and supplies are easily available.


Regional and Property Geology

The property is located in Southwest Ghana which is dominated by the Birmian Supergroup of metasedimentary and metavolcanic rocks with various granitoid intrusions. Within the Birmian Supergroup, northeast striking mafic metavolcanic belts are separated from intervening metasedimentary basins by major faults. The property is situated in the center of the Kumasi basin, equidistant between the northwest flank of the Ashanti Belt and the southeast flank of the Sefwi-Bibiani Belt. The concession contains a portion of the Asankrangwa Gold Belt, a complex northeast trending shear system. Gold mineralization in the area is hosted in Birimian metasediments and basin type granitoid.


Mineralization within the concession is known to occur in two ways. Lower grade gold occurs in strong quartz-sericite-iron oxide altered metasediments, particularly where there are well developed stockwork veins. The orientation of these broader zones is suggested to be northeast. Higher grade gold occurs in quartz veins which trend northwest and dip northeast.


History

The concession shows evidence of pre-colonial quartz vein mining, as well as adits which date from 1900 to 1939 with indigenous miners working both within the old adits and by hand on alluvial gravels, continuing to the present day.


In 1966-1967, exploration work was conducted on the Bonte river valley alluvial sediments. In 1990, a mining lease was granted to Akrokeri-Ashanti Gold Mines (“AAGM”), an unrelated Canadian public company, which was later transferred to Bonte Gold Mines, a local subsidiary of AAGM. AAGM constructed and operated an alluvial processing plant on the concession, and public records show an estimated 200,000 ounces of alluvial gold production by AAGM from the concession. Low gold prices forced AAGM to suspend production before placing Bonte Gold Mines into receivership in 2002.


Historical work on the property was largely confined to the study and production of the surface placer gold located in the Bonte River valley and little to no exploration was ever conducted on the sub-surface potential of the property.  


Recent Activities by Keegan

In June 2006, Keegan announced that it had successfully completed title due diligence on the Esaase gold property in southeast Ghana and had begun a surface and underground exploration program.  Previous soil and rock sampling by the Company during technical due diligence uncovered a northeast trending mineralized bedrock fault and gold bearing lode quartz veins, which have historic shafts and adits.  There are numerous and extensive stockwork veined zones that have yet to be adequately sampled. The soils also revealed other parallel bedrock soil anomalies in more recessed terrains that have yet to be explored.


In October 2006, the Company initiated a 6,000 meter core drill program on the property. Approximately 30 holes are planned to test the 1,500 meter strike length where the Company has discovered widespread disseminated gold mineralization in its bedrock trenching program. The program is expected to take approximately three months to complete.

ITEM 5.  OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS

The following discussion for the Fiscal Years Ended 3/31/2006, and 3/31/2005 should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of Keegan and the notes thereto.


Overview

During Fiscal 2003, ended March 31st, Keegan raised no capital through the sale of shares.


During Fiscal 2004, ended March 31st, Keegan raised no capital through the sale of shares.


31


During Fiscal 2005, ended March 31st, Keegan raised $972,875 through the sale of shares as described earlier.


During Fiscal 2006, ended March 31st, Keegan raised $2,400,000 through the sale of shares as described earlier.


During Fiscal 2007, through December 5, 2006, Keegan raised $5,705,900 through the sales of shares and the exercise of share purchase warrants as described earlier.


During Fiscal 2005 Keegan obtained interests in mineral properties located in the United States and during Fiscal 2006, Keegan obtained interests in mineral properties located in the United States and Ghana. These events are described earlier in this document in ITEM 4.D. Property, Plant and Equipment.


Results of Operations

The Fiscal Quarter Ended 9/30/2006 vs. The Fiscal Quarter Ended 9/30/2005

During the period, the Company reported a loss of ($1,060,707) or ($0.08) per share compared to a loss of ($ 777,114 ) or ($0. 10 ) per share during the same period in the previous year, an increase in loss by $368,972. The increase in loss was primarily attributable to an increased corporate activity during the period ended September 30, 2006 as a result of various expenses incurred in connection with the property acquisitions described in ITEM 4.D. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY, PROPERTY PLANT AND EQUIPMENT.


General and administrative expenses increased by $274,882, from $775,811 during the period ended September 30, 2005 to $1,050,693 during the period ended September 30, 2006 as a result of a significant increase in the expense categories of “travel, promotion and investor relations”. Travel, promotion and investor relations” increased to $485,730 from $70,611 in the prior like period. Keegan initiated an investor relations program during the six months ended September 30, 2006, which included participation in trade shows, advertising in Canada and meetings with stock brokers and financial analysts in Canada.


During the period, the Company recorded stock compensation expense of $201,462  for stock options granted to directors, officers and consultants.


Fiscal 2006 Ended 3/31/2006 vs. Fiscal 2005 Ended 3/31/2005

During the year, Keegan terminated the agreements to acquire an interest in both the Horse Mountain Property and the Fri Property. Consequently it wrote down $179,531 in acquisition and deferred expenditures pertaining to the Fri Property and $1,018,587 in acquisition and deferred expenditures pertaining to the Horse Mountain Property.


During the year ended March 31, 2006, Keegan reported a loss of ($2,989,019) or ($0.31) per share compared to a loss of ($629,372) or ($0.09) per share during the previous year, an increase in loss of $2,359,647.


The primary reason for the increase in the loss was the write-down of both the Horse Mountain Property and the Fri Property in the amount of $1,198,118. Other significant factors were the increase in stock based compensation in the amount of $362,241; the increase in travel and promotion in the amount of $448,103; and, the increase in consulting fees in the amount of $261,244.


The Horse Mountain and Fri properties were both written off because management decided to concentrate the majority of the Company’s efforts on its properties in Ghana and its Regent property located in Nevada. Management felt that, as a result of the results obtained from the exploration work on the Horse Mountain Property and the Fri Property, it was prudent not to expend additional funds on either one.


32


The increase in stock based compensation resulted from continued vesting of options granted near the end of fiscal 2005 and an additional 280,000 options granted during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006.


Travel and promotion increased because of Keegan’s increased involvement in Ghana. In prior years, much of Keegan’s efforts were concentrated only in Canada and Nevada. The involvement of the Company in Ghana increased expenses. Promotion increased because the Company increased its level of activity in the area of keeping investors advised of corporate activities. This included attending trade shows, an increased web presence and meetings with stockbrokers, analysts and fund managers in Canada.


Consulting fees increased by $261,244 as compared to the prior fiscal year primarily due to consulting agreements entered into with the Company President and Corporate Secretary. Keegan entered into an agreement to purchase the Asumura Reconnaissance Concession on February 18, 2005. By the terms of this agreement, Keegan must complete US$1 million of exploration work by July 31, 2007; must pay US$100 thousand to the vendors by October 8, 2007; and, issue common shares to the vendor equivalent to US$100 thousand. Also, Keegan entered into an agreement to purchase the Regent Gold Silver Project located in Nevada on March 4, 2005. In the case of the Regent Gold Silver Project, the Company must complete US$3 million of exploration work by February 2010; must pay $270,000 to the vendor by February 2010 and must issue 500,000 common shares to the vendor by February 2011.


Fiscal 2005 Ended 3/31/2005 vs. Fiscal 2004 Ended 3/31/2004

During the year, Keegan entered into agreements with Hunter Dickinson Group Inc. (“HDG”), Anaconda Gold (USA) Inc. (“Anaconda”) and Barrick Gold Exploration Inc. (“Barrick”), whereby it acquired the right to earn an interest in the Horse Mountain Project in Nevada. The transactions with Anaconda and Barrick (collectively the “Acquisition”) served as Keegan’s Qualifying Transaction for the purposes of the policies of the Exchange.


During the year ended March 31, 2005, Keegan reported a loss of ($629,372) or ($0.09) per share compared to a loss of ($55,857) or ($0.01) per share during the previous year, an increase in loss of $573,515. The increase in loss was primarily attributable to various expenses incurred in the evaluation of potential businesses, due diligence in connection with Keegan’s Qualifying Transaction as well as the establishment of new corporate offices for Keegan.


Administrative expenses during the year ended March 31, 2005 were $601,137 compared to $60,638 during the same period in the previous year, an increase in expenses by $540,499. The increase in administrative expenses resulted from compensation expense of $194,961, foreign exchange loss of $31,956 and from increases in consulting fees by $111,060, office, rent and administration by $72,679, professional fees by $64,693, regulatory fees by $14,054, transfer agent fees by $34,687 and travel and promotion by $42,102.


In 2004, Keegan adopted a prospective application for stock based compensation whereby it accounts for awards to employees and consultants based on the fair value method. As a result, during the year, Keegan recorded compensation expense of $194,961 for stock options granted to directors and consultants.


The increase in consulting fees by $111,160 during the year was a result of various consulting agreements entered into by Keegan, its President & CEO, Corporate Secretary and consultants performing investor relations services. In addition, Keegan paid fees to various parties in connection with the acquisition of its interests in resource properties.


The increase in office, rent and administration by $72,679 was a result of Keegan’s signing of a lease agreement for its office premises for $3,767 per month, hiring of a temporary administrative staff, website development, office and computers set up and maintenance and other expenses such as printing, supplies and insurance.

33


The increase in professional fees by $64,693 was a result of increased legal and accounting services required in connection with Keegan’s Qualifying Transaction.


The increase in travel and promotion by $42,102 was a result of various mining conferences and road shows as well as various travels by Keegan’s directors who are based in Nevada to Vancouver. In addition, Keegan’s consultants incurred travel expenses during the evaluation of the resource properties located in Nevada.


Transfer agent and shareholder information expenses increased by $34,687 as a result of insurance purchased by Keegan in the amount of $19,000 in connection with its Filing Statement for its Qualifying Transaction, corporate profiles created for shareholder information and an increase in transfer fees due to increased shareholder activity.


Regulatory fees increased by $14,054 due to various fees paid to the Exchange for private placements, NEX maintenance, stock option plan, name change, etc. and for the Company’s Qualifying Transaction.


Fiscal 2004 Ended 3/31/2004 vs. Fiscal 2003 Ended 3/31/2003

Keegan had no income from operations during the fiscal years ended 3/31/2004 and 3/31/2003.


During the year-ended March 31, 2004, the Company reported a loss of ($55,857) or ($0.01) per share compared to a loss of ($31,563) or ($0.01) per share during the year ended March 31, 2003, an increase in loss by $24,294. The increase in loss was primarily attributable to additional administrative and general expenses incurred in connection with the Company’s intent to complete a “qualifying transaction” during the year. This effort consisted of searching for and examining potential property transactions. Administrative expenses during the period ended March 31, 2004 were $60,638 compared to $41,932 during the same period in the previous year, an increase in expenses by $18,706. The increase in administrative expenses resulted from an increase in professional fees by $14,813, promotion and entertainment by $1,745, regulatory fees by $1,615 and transfer agent fees by $2,857.


The only activities that Keegan was involved in during the year ended March 31, 2004 consisted of efforts to complete a “qualifying transaction”. These efforts involved entering into two option agreements to purchase an interest in mineral properties. Upon completing the examination of these properties, Keegan cancelled each one because management, after examination work, felt that neither property contained the economic potential required by the Company.


Fiscal 2003 Ended 3/31/2003 vs. Fiscal 2002 Ended 3/31/2002

Keegan had no income from operations during the fiscal years ended 3/31/2003 and 3/31/2002.


During the year-ended March 31, 2003, the Company reported a loss of ($31,563) or ($0.01) per share compared to a loss of ($22,082) or ($0.01) per share during the year ended March 31, 2002, an increase in loss by $9,481. The increase in loss was primarily attributable to additional administrative and general expenses incurred in connection with the Company’s intent to complete a “qualifying transaction” during the year. This effort consisted of searching for and examining potential property transactions. Administrative expenses during the period ended March 31, 2003 were $41,932 compared to $28,094 during the same period in the previous fiscal year, an increase in expenses by $13,838. The increase in administrative expenses resulted from an increase in professional fees by $7,245 and office, rent and administration in the amount of $7,502. Other expenses were minimal and essentially the same in both fiscal years.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Six Months Ended 9/30/2006

Cash and cash equivalents of the Company are all held in Canadian dollars.


The Company reported virtually no working capital ($39) at September 30 2006 compared to a working capital deficit of ($605K) at September 30, 2005.


Subsequent to the end of this fiscal period, the Company completed a private placement, as described in ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY, Financings, which provided capital in the amount of $3,600,000. As disclosed earlier, Keegan has share purchase options and share purchase warrants outstanding that, if exercised, would result in the Company receiving an additional $6,917,335. There is no guarantee that these share purchase options and share purchase warrants will be exercised.


Management believes that its current working capital position, which includes the proceeds of the recent financing, is sufficient to complete its operations through the end of Fiscal 2007, ending March 31st. If a portion of the share purchase options or share purchase warrants are not exercised, Keegan will have to attempt to raise additional funds through additional private placements.

During the prior period, net changes in non-cash working capital balances utilized $12,951 of cash, increasing cash utilized in operating activities to $253,067.


During the period, the Company utilized $285,194 of its cash for resource property acquisition payments pursuant to agreements, utilized $1,575,781 of its cash for deferred exploration and $15,978 for an equipment purchase and for leasehold improvements. During the same period in the previous year, the Company utilized $177,592 of its cash for resource property acquisition payments pursuant to agreements and $664,351 for deferred exploration expenses.


During the period, the Company generated an aggregate cash of $2,105,900 for the exercise of 1,953,750 warrants at $1.00 per share and 179,000 warrants at $0.85 per share.


The other sources of funds potentially available to the Company are through the exercise of outstanding 526,250 share purchase warrants at a price of $1.00 per share which expire October 13, 2007; 1,000,000 share purchase warrants at $2.40 per share which expire May 2, 2008; and, 460,100 share purchase warrants at $0.85 which expire on January 31, 2007.

Fiscal 2006 Ended 3/31/2006     

The Company reported working capital of $625,226 at March 31, 2006 compared to working capital of $664,231 at March 31, 2005, representing an increase in working capital by $39,005. As at March 31, 2006, the Company had net cash on hand of $838,809 compared to $674,917 at March 31, 2005. Financing for the Company’s operations was funded primarily from non-brokered private placements carried out during the period of 3,000,000 units at $0.80 per unit for gross proceeds of $2,400,000 and $858,205 from the exercise of share purchase warrants and share purchase options.


Current assets excluding cash at March 31, 2006 increased by $8,699, from $38,227 at March 31, 2005 to $46,926 at March 31, 2006. The increase in current assets is attributable to an increase in prepaid expenses by $13,337.

 

Current liabilities as at March 31, 2006, which mainly consisted of accounts payable and accrued liabilities, increased by $211,596. This increase resulted from outstanding payables to various exploration vendors.


Changes in non-cash working capital balances were $202,897 of cash for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, decreasing cash utilized in operating activities to $1,020,466. During the prior period, net changes in non-cash working capital balances were only $694, decreasing cash utilized in operating activities to $428,007.


During the period, the Company utilized an aggregate of $180,471 of its cash to acquire various interests in resource properties, utilized $1,718,723 for deferred exploration and $1,816 to purchase equipment. These expenditures are disclosed in Item 4.D. Property, Plant and Equipment.


During the period, the Company generated cash of $745,505 from the exercise of 785,300 warrants at a price of $0.85 and $1.00 per share. The Company also raised $2,400,000 from a non-brokered private placement of up to 3,000,000 units of the Company at a price of $0.80 per unit. Each unit consisted of one common share and one non-transferable share purchase warrant, entitling the holder to purchase within two years one additional common share of the Company at a price of $1 per share. The warrants will be subject to an acceleration clause whereby if the shares of the Company trade above $2 for a period of 10 consecutive trading days, the Company will have the option to require the earlier exercise of the warrants within 30 days of formal notice from the Company. The Company paid an aggregate of $160,000 to various finders and regulatory fees of $12,838 for this private placement. In addition, an aggregate of 104,000 brokers’ warrants were granted on the same terms as the private placement warrants. The Company also realized $112,700 from the exercise of 122,500 share purchase options.


The other sources of funds potentially available to the Company are through the exercise of outstanding 2,584,000 share purchase warrants at a price of $1.00 per share which expire October 13, 2007, 639,100 share purchase warrants at $0.85 per share which expire January 31, 2007, 1,145,000 options at $1.16 per share which expire November 22, 2010 and 60,000 options exercisable at $2.48 per share expiring on February 2, 2011. There can be no assurance, whatsoever, that any of these outstanding exercisable securities will be exercised.


Financing for the Company’s operations was funded primarily from various share issuances through private placements and exercise of warrants. The Company has and may continue to have capital requirements in excess of its currently available resources. In the event the Company’s plans change, its assumptions change or prove inaccurate, or its capital resources in addition to projected cash flow, if any, prove to be insufficient to fund its future operations, the Company may be required to seek additional financing.




36


Although the Company has been successful in raising the above funds, there can be no assurance that the Company will have sufficient financing to meet its future capital requirements or that additional financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company in the future. The Company has just recently acquired interests in resource properties and its overall success will be affected by its current or future business activities.


The Company is in the process of acquiring and exploring its interests in resource properties and has not yet determined whether these properties contain mineral deposits that are economically recoverable. The continued operations of the Company and the recoverability of expenditures incurred to earn an interest in these resource properties are dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, securing and maintaining title and beneficial interest in the properties, obtaining necessary financing to explore and develop the properties, and upon future profitable production or proceeds from disposition of the resource properties.


Fiscal 2005 ended 3/31/2005

As at 3/31/2005, Keegan had working capital of $664,231 as compared to working capital of $413,667 at 3/31/2004. The increase in working capital of $250,564 was due to the financing which occurred during Fiscal 2005 as described above in ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY, FINANCINGS. Cash and cash equivalents of $674,917 represented the majority of the current asset position at 3/31/2005 and the current liabilities of $48,913 were simply debts incurred in the normal course of business such as monthly rent, current amounts owing for property investigation costs, regulatory and filing fees and travel. None of these liability accounts were past due and were paid as agreed.


Cash used for Operating Activities during the year ended 3/31/2005 was ($428,007) including the net loss for the fiscal year of ($629,372). The adjustments in the category of items not affecting cash for the fiscal year were amortization in the amount of $5,710 and stock based compensation in the amount of $194,961.


The amortization was attributed to furniture and equipment, computers and leasehold improvements. The basis for the furniture and equipment and the computers was on the declining balance and the basis on the leasehold improvements was on a straight-line basis. The furniture and equipment is amortized at 20%, the computers are amortized at 30% and the leasehold improvements are amortized for the term of the lease.


The stock based compensation was related to the stock options, which were granted to directors and consultants of the Company.


Effective January 1, 2003 the Company adopted the new accounting recommendations of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (“CICA”) Handbook, Section 3870, Stock-based compensation and other stock-based payments, released in November 2003, whereby it will be expensing all stock-based compensation awards, made or altered on or after January 1, 2003, on a prospective basis. The standard requires that all new or altered stock based awards provided to employees and non-employees are measured and recognized using a fair value based method. Fair values are determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Any consideration paid by employees on the exercise of the options is credited to share capital.


The Company granted 1,348,000 stock options to directors and employees during the year ended 3/31/2005. During the fiscal year ended 3/31/2004, Keegan cancelled 363,333 stock options, which had been granted to former directors and officers of the Company. These options were cancelled because these individuals were no longer associated with the Company.




37


Cash Used for Investing Activities during the year ended 3/31/2005 totaled ($285,410) which consisted of expenditures on Keegan ’s mineral properties, and the purchase of furniture, equipment and leasehold improvements. The expenditures associated with the mineral properties are described in ITEM 4.B BUSINESS OVERVIEW; ITEM 4.D, PROPERTY PLANT AND EQUIPMENT and ITEM 5, OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS (Results of Operations, Fiscal 2004, Ended 3/31/2005 vs. Fiscal 2004, Ended 3/31/2004).


Cash Provided by Financing Activities during Fiscal 2005 was $964,675 and consisted of the cash received for the issuance of common shares as described in ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY, FINANCINGS.

Stock-based compensation – The Company records compensation expense for U.S. GAAP purposes following the fair value method of accounting for stock options issued to employees. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value its stock options as described in Note 5 to the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006.


Net earnings per share and escrow shares – Under U.S. GAAP, performance-based escrow shares are considered to be contingently issuable until the performance criteria has been satisfied and are excluded from the computation of the weighted average of shares outstanding. The Company's escrow shares are not performance-based and therefore no adjustments have been made to the calculation of earnings per share.


On August 4, 2004, the Company entered into an escrow agreement with certain of its shareholders in respect of their 150,000 shares. The shares are being released from escrow as to 10% on final Exchange approval and the balance on a pro-rata basis at 15% semi-annually, with the final release scheduled for February 12, 2007. As of March 31, 2006, there were 90,000 shares still held in escrow.


Resource properties –  Under Canadian GAAP, acquisition and exploration costs are capitalized. Under U.S. GAAP, costs are expensed as incurred unless commercial feasibility is established.


Under U.S. GAAP, resource properties are reviewed by management for impairment whenever circumstances change which could indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable. Such review has not been completed, as there are no capitalized properties for U.S. GAAP purposes.

Critical Accounting Policies

Management is required to make judgments, 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  On a regular basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions.  We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.


These critical accounting policies include:


Resource Properties and Deferred Exploration Costs

The Company accounts for mineral property costs in accordance with the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants Handbook Section 3061, “Property, plant and equipment” (“CICA 3061”), and abstract EIC-126, “Accounting by Mining Enterprises for Exploration Costs” (“EIC-126”) of the Emerging Issues Committee. CICA 3061 provides for the capitalization of the acquisition and exploration costs of a mineral property where such costs are considered to have the characteristics of property, plant and equipment.


40


EIC-126 provides that a mining enterprise is not precluded from considering exploration costs to have the characteristics of property, plant and equipment when it has not established mineral reserves objectively and therefore does not have a basis for preparing a projection of the estimated future net cash flow from the property.


Mineral property costs include initial acquisition costs and related option payments, which are recorded when paid. Exploration and development costs are capitalized until properties are brought into production, when costs are amortized on a unit-of-production basis over economically recoverable reserves. Option payments are credited against mineral property costs when received. No gain or loss on disposition of a partial interest is recorded until all carrying costs of the interest have been offset by proceeds of sale or option payments received.  No gain or loss on disposition of a partial interest is recorded until all carrying costs of the interest have been offset by proceeds of sale or option payments received.


CICA 3061 also provides that property, plant and equipment be written down when the long-term expectation is that the net carrying amount will not be recovered. EIC-126 states that a mining enterprise which has not objectively established mineral reserves and therefore does not have a basis for preparing a projection of the estimated future cash flow from a property is not obliged to conclude that the capitalized costs have been impaired. However, EIC-126 references certain conditions that should be considered in determining subsequent write-downs, such as changes or abandonment of a work program or poor exploration results, and management reviews such conditions to determine whether a write-down of capitalized costs is required. When the carrying value of a property exceeds its net recoverable amount, provision is made for the impairment in value.


Accounting standards subsequently issued by the CICA dealing with Intangible Assets (CICA 1581 and CICA 3062) include reference to “Use rights such as drilling, water, air, mineral, timber cutting, and route authorities” as examples of intangible assets. CICA 3062 also states, inter alia, that intangible assets should be amortized over their useful life and tested for impairment. Management has reviewed this potential reporting conflict with the previously issued standards and is of the opinion that it is appropriately accounting for its mineral properties as having the characteristics of property, plant and equipment.

Asset Retirement Obligations


Effective April 1, 2004, the Company adopted the CICA Handbook Section 3110, “Asset Retirement Obligations” (“HB 3110”). HB 3110 requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation, such as site reclamation costs, be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The Company is required to record the estimated present value of future cash flows associated with site reclamation as a liability when the liability is incurred and increase the carrying value of the related assets for that amount. The obligations recognized are statutory, contractual or legal obligations.  The liability is accreted over time for changes in the fair value of the liability through charges to accretion, which is included in depletion, amortization and accretion expense.  The costs capitalized to the related assets are amortized in a manner consistent with the depletion and amortization of the related asset.  


As of March 31, 2006, the Company has determined that it does not have material obligations for asset retirement obligations. Accordingly, adoption of HB 3110 had no impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Stock Options  

The terms of incentive options grantable by Keegan are done in accordance with the rules and policies of the TSX Exchange and the British Columbia Securities Commission, including the number of common shares under option, the exercise price and expiry date of such options, and any amendments thereto.  Keegan  adopted a formal written stock option plan (the "Plan") on 6/22/2004. At the Annual Meeting held on September 29, 2006, Shareholders approved revisions to the Company’s Stock Option Plan.


The principal purposes of Keegan ’s Plan is to give Eligible Persons, as additional compensation, the opportunity to participate in the success of the Company. Eligible Persons include Directors, Officers, Employees, Consultants, Consultant Companies, or Management Company Employees.


The Plan provides that the aggregate number of shares of Keegan, which may be issued and sold under the Plan, is 2,774,683. All optionees under the Plan in aggregate shall not exceed 20% of the currently issued and outstanding share capital. Options granted to Insiders as a group may not exceed 20% of the issued shares, and to any one individual may not exceed 5% of the issued shares on a yearly basis, and 2% of the issued shares on a yearly basis if the optionee is engaged in investor relations activities or is a consultant, on a non-diluted basis.


Options granted under the Plan will be exercisable over periods of up to five years as determined by the board of directors of the Company. The price of each option shall be at a price not less than the Market Price prevailing on the date the option is granted less applicable discount, if any, permitted by the policies of the Exchanges and approved by the Board. The Directors, subject to the policies of the Exchange, may determine and impose terms upon which each option shall become vested. Current policies of the TSX Venture Exchange provide that minimum vesting requirements shall be 25% of the option upon TSX Venture Exchange approval and a further 12 ½% every quarter thereafter. The Directors have adopted this vesting schedule.

If an optionee ceases to be an Eligible Person under the Plan, his her vested options will be exercisable as follows:

a)

Death or Disability: the earlier of 365 days after the date of death or disability or the Expiry Date.


b)

Termination for Cause: Cancelled as of the date of termination.


c)

Early Retirement, Voluntary Resignation or Termination Other than for Cause: The earlier of the Expiry Date or 90 datys (30 days if the Optionee was engaged in Investor Relations Activities) after the Optionee ceases to be an Eligible Person.


In the event of a bonafide Take-Over Bid where the offeror becomes a control person of the Company, all Option Shares will become vested and the option may be exercised in whole or in part by the Optionee to permit the Optionee to tender the Option Shares received in such exercise pursuant to the offer. If the Take-Over offer is not completed within the time specified, or all of the Option Shares tendered by the Optionee pursuant to the offer are not taken up or paid for by the offeror, then the option shares received upon the exercise may be returned by the Optionee to the Company and reinstated as authorized but unissued shares. In respect to such returned shares, the Option shall be reinstated as if it had not been exercised and the terms upon which such Option Shares were to become vested shall be reinstated and the Company shall refund the exercise price to the Optionee.

10.A.7.  Resolutions/Authorizations/Approvals

---No Disclosure Necessary---


10.B.  Memorandum and Articles of Association


Keegan Resources Inc. (“Keegan” or the “Company”) was incorporated as “Quicksilver Ventures Inc.” on September 23, 1999 under the British Columbia Company Act. Pursuant to a resolution passed at a meeting of the shareholders of the Company that was held on August 13, 2004, the Company changed its name from Quicksilver Ventures Inc. to Keegan Resources Inc.


At the Annual and Special General meeting of the Company held on September 17, 2004, shareholders passed appropriate resolutions to complete the transition procedures to revise the Company’s Articles under the new British Columbia Business Corporations Act (the “New Act”). At the Annual and Special Meeting held on September 29, 2006, shareholders approved an increase of the number of common shares which the Company is authorized to issue to an unlimited number of common shares and an unlimited number of preferred shares. The Notice of Alteration of the Company’s Articles was filed with the British Columbia Registrar of Companies on October 11, 2006.


There are no restrictions on the business the Company may carry on in the Articles of Incorporation.


Under Part 17 of the Company’s Articles and Division 3 of the New Act, a director or senior officer must declare its interest in any existing or proposed contract or transaction with the Company and such director is not allowed to vote on any transaction or contract with the Company in which has a disclosable interest, unless all directors have a disclosable interest in that contract or transaction, in which case any or all of those directors may vote on such resolution. A director may hold any office or place of profit with the Company in conjunction with the office of director, and no director shall be disqualified by his office from contracting with the Company. A director or his firm may act in a professional capacity for the Company and he or his firm shall be entitled to remuneration for professional services. A director may become a director or other officer or employee of, or otherwise interested in, any corporation or firm in which the Company may be interested as a shareholder or otherwise. The director shall not be accountable to the Company for any remuneration or other benefits received by him, subject to the New Act.


Part 16 of the Company’s articles address the duties of the directors. Directors must manage or supervise the management of the business and affairs of the Company and have the authority to exercise all such powers which are not required to be exercised by the shareholders, or as governed by the New Act. Part 19 addresses Committees of the Board of Directors. Directors may, by resolution, create and appoint an executive committee consisting of the director or directors that they deem appropriate. This executive committee has, during the intervals between meetings of the Board, all of the directors’ powers, except the power to fill vacancies in the Board, the power to remove a Director, the power to change the membership of, or fill vacancies in, any committee of the Board and any such other powers as may be set out in the resolution or any subsequent directors’ resolution. Directors may also by resolution appoint one or more committees other than the executive committee. These committees may be delegated any of the directors’ powers except the power to fill vacancies on the board of directors, the power to remove a director, the power to change the membership or fill vacancies on any committee of the directors, the power to appoint or remove officers appointed by the directors, and make any delegation subject to the conditions set out in the resolution or any subsequent directors’ resolution. Part 18 details the proceedings of directors. The quorum necessary for the transaction of the business of the directors may be fixed by the directors and if not so fixed shall be two directors.


Part 8 details the borrowing powers of the Directors. They may, on behalf of the Company:

Borrow money in a manner and amount, on any security, from thesources and on the terms and conditions that they consider appropriate;

Issue bonds, debentures, and other debt obligations either outright or as security for any liability or obligation of the Company or any other person and at such discounts or premiums and on such other terms as they consider appropriate;

Guarantee the repayment of money by any other person or the performance of any obligation of any other person; and

Mortgage, charge, whether by way of specific or floating charge, grant a security interest in or give other security on, on the whole or any part of the present or future assets and undertaking of the Company.


A director need not be a shareholder of the Company, and there are no age limit requirements pertaining to the retirement or non-retirement of directors. The directors are entitled to the remuneration for acting as directors, if any as the directors may from time to time determine. If the directors so decide, the remuneration of directors, if any, will be determined by the shareholders. That remuneration may be in addition to any salary or other remuneration paid to any officer or employee of the Company as such who is also a director. The Company must reimburse each director for the reasonable expenses that he or she may incur in and about the business of the Company. If any director performs any professional or other services for the Company that in the opinion of the directors are outside the ordinary duties of a director, or if any director is otherwise specially occupied in or about the Company’s business, he or she may be paid remuneration fixed by the directors, or, at the option of that director, fixed by ordinary resolution and such remuneration may be either in addition to, or in substitution for, any other remuneration that he or she may be entitled to receive.


Part 21 provides for the mandatory indemnification of directors, senior officers, former directors, and alternate, as well as their respective heirs and personal or other legal representatives, or any other person, to the greatest extent permitted by the New Act. The indemnification includes the mandatory payment of expenses. The failure of a director, alternate director, or officer of the Company to comply with the Business Corporations Act or the Company’s Articles does not invalidate any indemnity to which he or she is entitled under Part 21. The directors may cause the Company to purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of eligible parties.

55

create special rights or restrictions for, and attach those special rights or restrictions to, the shares of any class or series of shares, whether or not any or all of those shares have been issued; or


56


(2)

vary or delete any special rights or restrictions attached to the shares of any class or series of shares, whether or not any or all of those shares have been issued.

The Directors may, as they see fit, to convene an extraordinary general meeting. An extraordinary general meeting, if requisitioned in accordance with the New Act, shall be convened by the Directors or, if not convened by the Directors, may be convened by the requisitionists as provided in the New Act.


There are no limitations upon the rights to own securities.


There are no provisions that would have the effect of delaying, deferring, or preventing a change in control of the Company.


There is no special ownership threshold above which an ownership position must be disclosed. However, any ownership level above 10% must be disclosed to the TSX Venture Exchange and the British Columbia Securities Commission.

Under an agreement dated July 28, 2004 between the Company and Hunter Dickinson Group Inc. (“HDG”), the Company entered into an assignment agreement with HDG where HDG assigned its interest in a letter agreement between HDG, Anaconda Gold (“Anaconda”) on the Horse Mountain property in Elko County, Nevada. Under the agreement, the Company could earn a 55% interest in the Anaconda Horse Mountain claims by making exploration expenditures of US$1,500,000 over 6 years, with the first US$150,000 mandatory in Year 1, as well as making US$385,000 in cash option payments over 4 years, with US$80,000 payable in year one of which $15,000 was payable with 24,000 common shares of Keegan.

Keegan also reimbursed HDM US$23,376.50 for BLM payments due September 1, 2004 which HDG had already paid. Once the Company had earned a 55% interest in the property, it could earn an additional 15% (for a total interest of 70%) by funding a feasibility study. The Company could purchase a 100% interest in the Anaconda Horse Mountain claims for US$7,500,000. The Company also issued 25,000 common shares to Anaconda to opt-out of an Area of Influence clause contained in the original agreement.


Under a separate agreement between the Company and Barrick Gold (“Barrick”), the Company could earn a 70% interest in additional claims which made up the Horse Mountian Project. Under this agreement, the Company was required to make exploration expenditures of US$1,500,000 over four years, with the first US$200,000 in expenditures mandatory in Year 1. Once Keegan had earned its 70% interest, Barrick could, at its election, form a joint venture with Keegan at an initial 30% interest; earn back up to a 70% interest by making the next US$3,000,000 in exploration expenditures; or Keegan could purchase Barrick’s 30% interest for US$2,500,000 within one year, with Barrick retaining a 2% NSR.


During the year ended March 31, 2006, the Company decided not to further pursue the option agreement on the property and wrote down its entire capitalized acquisition and deferred exploration costs.

Under an agreement dated May 31, 2005 between the Company and Gerald Baughman and Fabiola Baughman, the Company could acquire a 100% interest (subject to a 2.5% NSR) in the Fri property located in Nye County, Nevada.

Restrictions on Share Ownership by Non-Canadians:  There are no limitations under the laws of Canada or in the organizing documents of Keegan  on the right of foreigners to hold or vote securities of Keegan , except that the Investment Canada Act may require review and approval by the Minister of Industry (Canada) of certain acquisitions of "control" of Keegan  by a "non-Canadian". The threshold for acquisitions of control is generally defined as being one-third or more of the voting shares of Keegan. "Non-Canadian" generally means an individual who is not a Canadian citizen, or a corporation, partnership, trust or joint venture that is ultimately controlled by non-Canadians.


10.E.  Taxation

The following summary of the material Canadian federal income tax consequences are stated in general terms and are not intended to be advice to any particular shareholder. Each prospective investor is urged to consult his or her own tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of his or her purchase, ownership and disposition of shares of Common Stock. The tax consequences to any particular holder of common stock will vary according to the status of that holder as an individual, trust, corporation or member of a partnership, the jurisdiction in which that holder is subject to taxation, the place where that holder is resident and, generally, according to that holder’s particular circumstances.  This summary is applicable only to holders who are resident in the United States, have never been resident in Canada, deal at arm’s length with the Company, hold their common stock as capital property and who will not use or hold the common stock in carrying on business in Canada.  Special rules, which are not discussed in this summary, may apply to a United States holder that is an issuer that carries on business in Canada and elsewhere.


This summary is based upon the provisions of the Income Tax Act of Canada and the regulations thereunder (collectively, the "Tax Act" or “ITA”)and the Canada-United States Tax Convention (the “Tax Convention”) as at the date of the Annual Report and the current administrative practices of Canada Customs and Revenue Agency.  This summary does not take into account provincial income tax consequences.


Management urges each holder to consult his own tax advisor with respect to the income tax consequences applicable to him in his own particular circumstances.


CANADIAN INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

Disposition of Common Stock.

The summary below is restricted to the case of a holder (a “Holder”) of one or more common shares (“Common Shares”) who for the purposes of the Tax Act is a non-resident of Canada, holds his Common Shares as capital property and deals at arm’s length with the Company.


Dividends

A Holder will be subject to Canadian withholding tax (“Part XIII Tax”) equal to 25%, or such lower rates as may be available under an applicable tax treaty, of the gross amount of any dividend paid or deemed to be paid on his Common Shares. Under the Tax Convention, the rate of Part XIII Tax applicable to a dividend on Common Shares paid to a Holder who is a resident of the United States is, if the Holder is a company that beneficially owns at least 10% of the voting stock of the Company, 5% and, in any other case, 15% of the gross amount of the dividend. The Company will be required to withhold the applicable amount of Part XIII Tax from each dividend so paid and remit the withheld amount directly to the Receiver General for Canada for the account of the Holder.

60


Disposition of Common Shares


A Holder who disposes of Common Shares, including by deemed disposition on death, will not be subject to Canadian tax on any capital gain thereby realized unless the common Share constituted “taxable Canadian property” as defined by the Tax Act. Generally, a common share of a public corporation will not constitute taxable Canadian property of a Holder unless he held the common share as capital property used by him carrying on a business in Canada, or he or persons with whom he did not deal at arm’s length alone or together held or held options to acquire, at any time within the 60 months preceding the disposition, 25% or more of the issued shares of any class of the capital stock of the Company.


A Holder who is a resident of the United States and realizes a capital gain on disposition of Common Shares that was taxable Canadian property will nevertheless, by virtue of the Treaty, generally be exempt from Canadian tax thereon unless (a) more than 50% of the value of the Common Shares is derived from, or from an interest in, Canadian real estate, including Canadian mineral resources properties, (b) the Common Shares formed part of the business property of a permanent establishment that the Holder has or had in Canada within the 12 months preceding disposition, or (c) the Holder (i) was a resident of Canada at any time within the ten years immediately preceding the disposition, and for a total of 120 months during any period of 20 consecutive years, preceding the disposition, and (ii) owned the Common Shares when he ceased to be resident in Canada.


A Holder who is subject to Canadian tax in respect of a capital gain realized on disposition of Common Shares must include one half of the capital gain (“taxable capital gain”) in computing his taxable income earned in Canada. The Holder may, subject to certain limitations, deduct one half of any capital loss (“allowable capital loss”) arising on disposition of taxable Canadian property from taxable capital gains realized in the year of disposition in respect to taxable Canadian property and, to the extent not so deductible, from such taxable capital gains of any of the three preceding years or any subsequent year.


UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES


The following is a discussion of material United States Federal income tax consequences, under the law, generally applicable to a U.S. Holder (as defined below) of common shares of the Company. This discussion does not cover any state, local or foreign tax consequences.


The following discussion is based upon the sections of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“the Code”), Treasury Regulations, published Internal Revenue Service (“IRS) rulings, published administrative positions of the IRS and court decisions that are currently applicable, any or all of which could be materially and adversely changed, possible on a retroactive basis, at any time.  In addition, the discussion does not consider the potential effects, both adverse and beneficial, or recently proposed legislation which, if enacted, could be applied, possibly on a retroactive basis, at any time. The discussion is for general information only and it is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any holder or prospective holder of common shares of the Company. Each holder and prospective holder of common shares of the Company is advised to consult their own tax advisors about the federal, state, local, and foreign tax consequences of purchasing, owning and disposing of common shares of the Company applicable to their own particular circumstances.








61


U.S. Holders


As used herein, a (“U.S. Holder”) includes a holder of common shares of the Company who is a citizen or resident of the United States, a corporation created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or of any political subdivision thereof, an estate whose income is taxable in the United States irrespective of source or a trust subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and control of a United States fiduciary as described in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code. This summary does not address the tax consequences to, and U.S. Holder does not include, persons subject to special provisions of Federal income tax law, such as tax-exempt organizations, qualified retirement plans, financial institutions, insurance companies, real estate investment trusts, regulated investment companies, broker-dealers, non-resident alien individuals, persons or entities that have a “functional currency” other than the U.S. dollar, shareholders who hold common shares as part of a straddle, hedging or conversion transaction, and shareholders who acquired their common shares through the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation for services. This summary is limited to U.S. Holders who own common shares as capital assets. This summary does not address the consequences to a person or entity holding an interest in a shareholder or the consequences to a person of the ownership, exercise or disposition of any options, warrants or other rights to acquire common shares.


Distribution on Common Shares of the Company

U.S. Holders receiving dividend distributions (including constructive dividends) with respect to common shares of the Company are required to include in gross income for United States Federal income tax purposes the gross amount of such distributions equal to the U.S. dollar value of such distributions on the date of receipt (based on the exchange rate on such date), to the extent that the Company has current or accumulated earnings and profits, without reduction for any Canadian income tax withheld from such distributions.  Such Canadian tax withheld may be credited, subject to certain limitations, against the U.S. Holder’s United States Federal Income tax liability or, alternatively, individuals may be deducted in computing the U.S. Holder’s United States Federal taxable income by those individuals who itemize deductions.  (See more detailed discussion at “Foreign Tax Credit” below).  To the extent that distributions exceed current or accumulated earnings and profits of the Company, they will be treated first as a return of capital up to the U.S. Holder’s adjusted basis in the common shares and thereafter as gain from the sale or exchange of the common shares. Dividend income will be taxed at marginal tax rates applicable to ordinary income while preferential tax rates for long-term capital gains are applicable to a U.S. Holder which is an individual, estate or trust.  There are currently no preferential tax rates for long-term capital gains for a U.S. Holder which is a corporation.


In the case of foreign currency received as a dividend that is not converted by the recipient into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt, a U.S. Holder will have a tax basis in the foreign currency equal to its U.S. dollar value on the date of receipt. Generally any gain or loss recognized upon a subsequent sale of other disposition of the foreign currency, including the exchange for U.S. dollars, will be ordinary income or loss.


Dividends paid on the common shares of the Company will not generally be eligible for the dividends received deduction provided to corporations receiving dividends from certain United States corporations.  A U.S. Holder which is a corporation may, under certain circumstances, be entitled to a 70% deduction of the United States source portion of dividends received from the Company (unless the Company qualifies as a “foreign personal holding company” or a “passive foreign investment company”, as defined below) if such U.S. Holder owns shares representing at least 10% of the voting power and value of the Company.  The availability of this deduction is subject to several complex limitations which are beyond the scope of this discussion.


62


Under current Treasury Regulations, dividends paid on the Company’s common shares, if any, generally will not be subject to information reporting and generally will not be subject to U.S. backup withholding tax. However, dividends and the proceeds from a sale of the Company’s common shares paid in the U.S. through a U.S. or U.S. related paying agent (including a broker) will be subject to U.S. information reporting requirements and may also be subject to the 31% U.S. backup withholding tax, unless the paying agent is furnished with a duly completed and signed Form W-9. Any amounts withheld under the U.S. backup withholding tax rules will be allowed as a refund or a credit against the U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the required information is furnished to the IRS.


Foreign Tax Credit

For individuals whose entire income from sources outside the United States consists of qualified passive income, the total amount of creditable foreign taxes paid or accrued during the taxable year does not exceed $300 ($600 in the case of a joint return) and an election is made under section 904(j), the limitation on credit does not apply.


A U.S. Holder who pays (or has withheld from distributions) Canadian income tax with respect to the ownership of common shares of the Company may be entitled, at the option of the U.S. Holder, to either a deduction or a tax credit for such foreign tax paid or withheld.  Generally, it will be more advantageous to claim a credit because a credit reduces United States Federal income taxes on a dollar-for-dollar basis, while a deduction merely reduces the taxpayer’s income subject to tax.  This election is made on a year-by-year basis and applies to all foreign income taxes (or taxes in lieu of income tax) paid by (or withheld from) the U.S. Holder during the year.  There are significant and complex limitations which apply to the credit, among which is the general limitation that the credit cannot exceed the proportionate share of the U.S. Holder’s United States income tax liability that the U.S. Holder’s foreign source income bears to his/her or its worldwide taxable income in the determination of the application of this limitation. The various items of income and deduction must be classified into foreign and domestic sources. Complex rules govern this classification process.  In addition, this limitation is calculated separately with respect to specific classes of income such as “passive income”, “high withholding tax interest”, “financial services income”, “shipping income”, and certain other classifications of income. Dividends distributed by the Company will generally constitute “passive income” or, in the case of certain U.S. Holders, “financial services income” for these purposes.  The availability of the foreign tax credit and the application of the limitations on the credit are fact specific and management urges holders and prospective holders of common shares of the Company to consult their own tax advisors regarding their individual circumstances.


Disposition of Common Shares of the Company

A U.S. Holder will recognize gain or loss upon the sale of common shares of the Company equal to the difference, if any, between (I) the amount of cash plus the fair market value of any property received, and (ii) the shareholder’s tax basis in the common shares of the Company.  Preferential tax rates apply to long-term capital gains of U.S. Holders, which are individuals, estates or trusts. This gain or loss will be capital gain or loss if the common shares are capital assets in the hands of the U.S. Holder, which will be a short-term or long-term capital gain or loss depending upon the holding period of the U.S. Holder.  Gains and losses are netted and combined according to special rules in arriving at the overall capital gain or loss for a particular tax year.  Deductions for net capital losses are subject to significant limitations.  For U.S. Holders, which are not corporations, any unused portion of such net capital loss may be carried over to be used in later tax years until such net capital loss is thereby exhausted, but individuals may not carry back capital losses. For U.S. Holders, which are corporations (other than corporations subject to Subchapter S of the Code), an unused net capital loss may be carried back three years from the loss year and carried forward five years from the loss year to be offset against capital gains until such net capital loss is thereby exhausted.


63


Other Considerations


In the following circumstances, the above sections of the discussion may not describe the United States Federal income tax consequences resulting from the holding and disposition of common shares of the Company.


Foreign Personal Holding Company


If at any time during a taxable year more than 50% of the total combined voting power or the total value of the Company’s outstanding shares is owned, actually or constructively, by five or fewer individuals who are citizens or residents of the United States and 60% (50% after the first tax year) or more of the Company’s gross income for such year was derived from certain passive sources (e.g. from interest income received from its subsidiaries), the Company would be treated as a “foreign personal holding company.”  In that event, U.S. Holders that hold common shares of the Company would be required to include in gross income for such year their allocable portions of such passive income to the extent the Company does not actually distribute such income.


The Company does not believe that it currently has the status of a “foreign personal holding company”. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will not be considered a foreign personal holding company for the current or any future taxable year.


Foreign Investment Company


If 50% or more of the combined voting power or total value of the Company’s outstanding shares are held, actually or constructively, by citizens or residents of the United States, United States domestic partnerships or corporations, or estates or trusts other than foreign estates or trusts (as defined by the Code Section 7701(a)(31), and the Company is found to be engaged primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting, or trading in securities, commodities, or any interest therein, it is possible that the Company might be treated as a “foreign investment company” as defined in Section 1246 of the Code, causing all or part of any gain realized by a U.S. Holder selling or exchanging common shares of the Company to be treated as ordinary income rather than capital gains.


Passive Foreign Investment Company


As a foreign corporation with U.S. Holders, the Company could potentially be treated as a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”), as defined in Section 1297 of the Code, depending upon the percentage of the Company’s income which is passive, or the percentage of the Company’s assets which is held for the purpose of producing passive income.


Certain United States income tax legislation contains rules governing PFICs, which can have significant tax effects on U.S. shareholders of foreign corporations.  These rules do not apply to non-U.S. shareholders.  Section 1297 (a) of the Code defines a PFIC as a corporation that is not formed in the United States and, for any taxable year, either (I) 75% or more of its gross income is “passive income”, which includes interest, dividends and certain rents and royalties or (ii) the average percentage, by fair market value (or, if the company is a controlled foreign corporation or makes an election, by adjusted tax basis), of its assets that produce or are held for the production of “passive income” is 50% or more.  The taxation of a US shareholder who owns stock in a PFIC is extremely complex and is therefore beyond the scope of this discussion.  Management urges US persons to consult with their own tax advisors with regards to the impact of these rules.  





64


Controlled Foreign Corporation


A Controlled Foreign Corporation (CFC) is a foreign corporation more than 50% of whose stock by vote or value is, on any day in the corporation’s tax year, owned (directly or indirectly) by U.S. Shareholders. If more than 50% of the voting power of all classes of stock entitled to vote is owned, actually or constructively, by citizens or residents of the United States, United States domestic partnerships and corporations or estates or trusts other than foreign estates or trusts, each of whom own actually or constructively 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company could be treated as a “controlled foreign corporation” under Subpart F of the Code.  This classification would affect many complex results, one of which is the inclusion of certain income of a CFC, which is subject to current U.S. tax. The United States generally taxes United States Shareholders of a CFC currently on their pro rata shares of the Subpart F income of the CFC. Such United States Shareholders are generally treated as having received a current distribution out of the CFC’s Subpart F income and are also subject to current U.S. tax on their pro rata shares of the CFC’s earnings invested in U.S. property. The foreign tax credit described above may reduce the U.S. tax on these amounts. In addition, under Section 1248 of the Code, gain from the sale or exchange of shares by a U.S. Holder of common shares of the Corporation which is or was a United States Shareholder at any time during the five-year period ending with the sale or exchange is treated as ordinary income to the extent of earnings and profits of the Company (accumulated in corporate tax years beginning after 1962, but only while the shares were held and while the Company was “controlled”) attributable to the shares sold or exchanged. If a foreign corporation is both a PFIC and a CFC, the foreign corporation generally will not be treated as a PFIC with respect to the United States Shareholders of the CFC. This rule generally will be effective for taxable years of United States Shareholders beginning after 1997 and for taxable years of foreign corporations ending with or within such taxable years of United States Shareholders. The PFIC provisions continue to apply in the case of PFIC that is also a CFC with respect to the U.S. Holders that are less than 10% shareholders. Because of the complexity of Subpart F, a more detailed review of these rules is outside of the scope of this discussion.


The amount of any backup withholding will not constitute additional tax and will be allowed as a credit against the U.S. Holder’s federal income tax liability.


Filing of Information Returns.  Under a number of circumstances, United States Investor acquiring shares of the Company may be required to file an information return with the Internal Revenue Service Center where they are required to file their tax returns with a duplicate copy to the Internal Revenue Service Center, Philadelphia, PA 19255. In particular, any United States Investor who becomes the owner, directly or indirectly, of 10% or more of the shares of the Company will be required to file such a return. Other filing requirements may apply, and management urges United States Investors to consult their own tax advisors concerning these requirements.

A PARTNERSHIP OF INCORPORATED PROFESSIONALS

CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



To the Shareholders of

Keegan Resources Inc.

(An Exploration Stage Company)

We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Keegan Resources Inc. (An Exploration Stage Company) as at March 31, 2006 and 2005 and the consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and stockholders’ deficiency for the years ended March 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004.  These consolidated 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 Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America).  Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance 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. 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, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at March 31, 2006 and 2005 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended March 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.


Comments by Auditor for US Readers on Canada-US Reporting Conflict

In the United States, reporting standards for auditors require the addition of an explanatory paragraph (following the opinion paragraph) when there is substantial doubt about a Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The accompanying financial statements hae been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business.  As discussed in Note 1 to the accompanying financial statements, the Company has accumulated substantial losses since its inception and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business.  Its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due.

Our report to the shareholders dated July 20, 2006 is expressed in accordance with Canadian reporting standards which do not permit a reference to such events and conditions in the auditor's report when these are adequately disclosed in the consolidated financial statements.

1.

Nature and continuance of operations


The Company was incorporated on September 23, 1999 under the laws of British Columbia. The Company was a capital pool company as defined in the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”) Policy 2.4.  


During the year ended March 31, 2004, the common shares of the Company commenced trading on the NEX. NEX is a separate board of the Exchange for companies which were previously listed on the Exchange which have failed to maintain compliance with the ongoing financial listing standards of the Exchange. NEX was created so publicly listed shell companies may still continue to trade their securities while they seek and undertake transactions to complete their reactivation.


During the year ended March 31, 2006, the Company completed its Qualifying Transaction through the acquisition of interests in mineral properties (see note 4). As a result, the Company is no longer considered a capital pool company. The Company’s listing has been transferred from NEX to TSX Venture under a Tier 2 issuer classification. In conjunction with the completion of the Qualifying Transaction, the Company changed its name from Quicksilver Ventures Inc. to Keegan Resources Inc.  


The Company is in the exploration stage and its principal business activity is the sourcing and exploration of mineral properties. The Company has interest in mineral properties located in the United States and the Republic of Ghana.


The recoverability of amounts shown for mineral properties and related deferred exploration costs is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, continuation of the Company's interest in the underlying mineral claims, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete their development and upon future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition thereof.


These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for its next fiscal year.  Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown and these financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. At March 31, 2006, the Company had working capital of $625,226 which may be insufficient to sustain operations over the next twelve months, had not yet achieved profitable operations and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business, all of which casts substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due.

2.

Significant accounting policies


The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  The consolidated financial statements have, in management’s opinion, been properly prepared using careful judgment within the framework of the significant accounting policies summarized below.


(a)

Basis of consolidation


The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned inactive subsidiary, Quicksilver Ventures (Nevada), Inc.. All significant intercompany amounts and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.


(b)

Financial instruments


The carrying amounts of cash and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.  Unless otherwise noted, it is managements opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.


(c)

Furniture, equipment and leasehold improvements


Furniture, equipment and leasehold improvements are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is determined at rates which will reduce original cost to estimated residual value over the useful life of each asset. The annual rates used to compute amortization are as follows:


Asset

Basis

Rate

   

Furniture and equipment

declining balance

20%

Computers

declining balance

30%

Leasehold improvements

Straight-line

term of lease


Amortization is recorded at half the annual rate in the year of acquisition.

2.

Significant accounting policies (continued)


(a)

Mineral properties and deferred exploration costs


The Company accounts for mineral property costs in accordance with the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants Handbook Section 3061, “Property, plant and equipment” (“CICA 3061”), and abstract EIC-126, “Accounting by Mining Enterprises for Exploration Costs” (“EIC-126”) of the Emerging Issues Committee. CICA 3061 provides for the capitalization of the acquisition and exploration costs of a mineral property where such costs are considered to have the characteristics of property, plant and equipment. EIC-126 provides that a mining enterprise is not precluded from considering exploration costs to have the characteristics of property, plant and equipment when it has not established mineral reserves objectively and therefore does not have a basis for preparing a projection of the estimated future net cash flow from the property.


Mineral property costs include initial acquisition costs and related option payments, which are recorded when paid. Exploration and development costs are capitalized until properties are brought into production, when costs are amortized on a unit-of-production basis over economically recoverable reserves. Option payments are credited against mineral property costs when received. No gain or loss on disposition of a partial interest is recorded until all carrying costs of the interest have been offset by proceeds of sale or option payments received.  No gain or loss on disposition of a partial interest is recorded until all carrying costs of the interest have been offset by proceeds of sale or option payments received.


CICA 3061 also provides that property, plant and equipment be written down when the long-term expectation is that the net carrying amount will not be recovered. EIC-126 states that a mining enterprise which has not objectively established mineral reserves and therefore does not have a basis for preparing a projection of the estimated future cash flow from a property is not obliged to conclude that the capitalized costs have been impaired. However, EIC-126 references certain conditions that should be considered in determining subsequent write-downs, such as changes or abandonment of a work program or poor exploration results, and management reviews such conditions to determine whether a write-down of capitalized costs is required. When the carrying value of a property exceeds its net recoverable amount, provision is made for the impairment in value.


Accounting standards subsequently issued by the CICA dealing with Intangible Assets (CICA 1581 and CICA 3062) include reference to “Use rights such as drilling, water, air, mineral, timber cutting, and route authorities” as examples of intangible assets. CICA 3062 also states, inter alia, that intangible assets should be amortized over their useful life and tested for impairment. Management has reviewed this potential reporting conflict with the previously issued standards and is of the opinion that it is appropriately accounting for its mineral properties as having the characteristics of property, plant and equipment.

Significant accounting policies (continued)


(e)

Asset retirement obligations


Effective April 1, 2004, the Company adopted the CICA Handbook Section 3110, “Asset Retirement Obligations” (“HB 3110”). HB 3110 requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation, such as site reclamation costs, be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The Company is required to record the estimated present value of future cash flows associated with site reclamation as a liability when the liability is incurred and increase the carrying value of the related assets for that amount. The obligations recognized are statutory, contractual or legal obligations.  The liability is accreted over time for changes in the fair value of the liability through charges to accretion, which is included in depletion, amortization and accretion expense.  The costs capitalized to the related assets are amortized in a manner consistent with the depletion and amortization of the related asset.  


As of March 31, 2006, the Company has determined that it does not have material obligations for asset retirement obligations. Accordingly, adoption of HB 3110 had no impact on the consolidated financial statements.


(f)

Foreign currency translation


Foreign denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated to their Canadian dollar equivalents using foreign exchange rates which prevailed at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items are translated at exchange rates prevailing when the assets were acquired or the obligations incurred. Foreign currency denominated revenue and expense items are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the transaction date. Exchange gains or losses arising on foreign currency translation are included in the determination of operating results for the year.


(g)

Earnings (loss) per share


The Company uses the treasury stock method to compute the dilutive effect of options, warrants and similar instruments.  Under this method the dilutive effect on earnings per share is recognized on the use of the proceeds that could be obtained upon exercise of options, warrants and similar instruments.  It assumes that the proceeds would be used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the year.


Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated using the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the year.  For the years ended March 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, the inclusion of the Company’s stock options and warrants in the computation of diluated loss per share would have an anti-dilutive effect on loss per share and therefore are excluded from the computation.

Significant accounting policies (continued)


(h)

Stock-based compensation


The Company accounts for the granting of share purchase options to employees and non-employees using the fair value method whereby all awards to employees and non-employees will be recorded at fair value on the date of the grant.  The fair value of all share purchase options are expensed over their vesting period with a corresponding increase to contributed surplus.  Upon exercise of share purchase options, the consideration paid by the option holder, together with the amount previously recognized in contributed surplus, is recorded as an increase to share capital.


The Company uses the Black-Scholes option valuation model to calculate the fair value of share purchase options at the date of grant.  Option pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected price volatility.  Changes in these assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate and, therefore, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Company’s share purchase options.


(i)

Income taxes


The Company accounts for income taxes by the asset and liability method.  Under this method, current income taxes are recognized for the estimated income taxes payable for the current year.  Future income tax assets and liabilities are recognized in the current year for temporary differences between the tax and accounting basis of assets and liabilities as well as for the benefit of losses available to be carried forward to future years for tax purposes that are more likely than not to be realized.

Title to mineral properties involves certain inherent risks due to the difficulties of determining the validity of certain claims as well as the potential for problems arising from the frequent ambiguous conveyancing history characteristic of many mineral properties.  The Company has investigated title to all of its mineral properties and, to the best of its knowledge, title to all of its properties are in good standing.  However, this should not be construed as a guarantee to title.  The concessions may be subject to prior claims, agreements or transfer and rights of ownership may be affected by undetected defects.

Horse Mountain Claims


During the year ended March 31, 2005, the Company entered into agreements with Hunter Dickinson Group Inc. (“HDG”), Anaconda Gold (USA) Inc. (“Anaconda”) and Barrick Gold Exploration Inc.

The transactions with Anaconda and Barrick (collectively the “Acquisition”) served as the Company’s Qualifying Transaction for the purposes of the policies of the Exchange.

United States generally accepted accounting principles (coninued)


Net earnings per share and escrow shares – Under U.S. GAAP, performance-based escrow shares are considered to be contingently issuable until the performance criteria has been satisfied and are excluded from the computation of the weighted average of shares outstanding. The Company's escrow shares are not performance-based and therefore no adjustments have been made to the calculation of earnings per share.


On August 4, 2004, the Company entered into an escrow agreement with certain of its shareholders in respect of their 150,000 shares. The shares are being released from escrow as to 10% on final Exchange approval and the balance on a pro-rata basis at 15% semi-annually, with the final release scheduled for February 12, 2007. As of March 31, 2006, there were 90,000 shares still held in escrow.


Mineral properties –  Under Canadian GAAP, exploration costs are capitalized as disclosed in Note 2.  Under U.S. GAAP, exploration costs are expensed as incurred until proven and probable reserves are established.  When proven and probable reserves are determined for a property, subsequent exploration and development costs of the property are capitalized.


Under U.S. GAAP, mineral properties are reviewed by management for impairment whenever circumstances change which could indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable. Such review has not been completed as there are no capitalized properties for U.S. GAAP purposes.

1.

Nature and continuance of operations


The Company was incorporated on September 23, 1999 under the laws of British Columbia. The Company was a capital pool company as defined in the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”) Policy 2.4.  


During the year ended March 31, 2004, the common shares of the Company commenced trading on the NEX. NEX is a separate board of the Exchange for companies which were previously listed on the Exchange which have failed to maintain compliance with the ongoing financial listing standards of the Exchange. NEX was created so publicly listed shell companies may still continue to trade their securities while they seek and undertake transactions to complete their reactivation.


During the year ended March 31, 2006, the Company completed its Qualifying Transaction through the acquisition of interests in resource properties (see note 4). As a result, the Company is no longer considered a capital pool company. The Company’s listing has been transferred from NEX to TSX Venture under a Tier 2 issuer classification. In conjunction with the completion of the Qualifying Transaction, the Company changed its name from Quicksilver Ventures Inc. to Keegan Resources Inc.  


The Company is in the exploration stage and its principal business activity is the sourcing and exploration of mineral properties. The Company has interest in mineral properties located in the United States and the Republic of Ghana.


The recoverability of amounts shown for resource properties and related deferred exploration costs is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, continuation of the Company's interest in the underlying mineral claims, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete their development and upon future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition thereof.


These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern , which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for its next fiscal year.  Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown and these financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. At September 30, 2006, the Company had working capital of $39 which may be insufficient to sustain operations over the next twelve months, had not yet achieved profitable operations and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business, all of which casts substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due.

Significant accounting policies


The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  The consolidated financial statements have, in management’s opinion, been properly prepared using careful judgment within the framework of the significant accounting policies summarized below.


(a)

Basis of consolidation


The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Quicksilver Ventures (Nevada), Inc. and Keegan Resources (GH) Ltd.. All significant intercompany amounts and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.


(b)

Financial instruments


The carrying amounts of cash and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.  Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.


(c)

Furniture, equipment and leasehold improvements


Furniture, equipment and leasehold improvements are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is determined at rates which will reduce original cost to estimated residual value over the useful life of each asset. The annual rates used to compute amortization are as follows:


Asset

Basis

Rate

   

Furniture and equipment

declining balance

20%

Computers

declining balance

30%

Leasehold improvements

Straight-line

term of lease


Amortization is recorded at half the annual rate in the year of acquisition.

Significant accounting policies (continued)


(d)

Resource properties and deferred exploration costs


The Company accounts for resource property costs in accordance with the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants Handbook Section 3061, “Property, plant and equipment” (“CICA 3061”), and abstract EIC-126, “Accounting by Mining Enterprises for Exploration Costs” (“EIC-126”) of the Emerging Issues Committee. CICA 3061 provides for the capitalization of the acquisition and exploration costs of a resource property where such costs are considered to have the characteristics of property, plant and equipment. EIC-126 provides that a mining enterprise is not precluded from considering exploration costs to have the characteristics of property, plant and equipment when it has not established resource reserves objectively and therefore does not have a basis for preparing a projection of the estimated future net cash flow from the property.


Resource property costs include initial acquisition costs and related option payments, which are recorded when paid. Exploration and development costs are capitalized until properties are brought into production, when costs are amortized on a unit-of-production basis over economically recoverable reserves. Option payments are credited against resource property costs when received. No gain or loss on disposition of a partial interest is recorded until all carrying costs of the interest have been offset by proceeds of sale or option payments received.  No gain or loss on disposition of a partial interest is recorded until all carrying costs of the interest have been offset by proceeds of sale or option payments received.


CICA 3061 also provides that property, plant and equipment be written down when the long-term expectation is that the net carrying amount will not be recovered. EIC-126 states that a mining enterprise which has not objectively established resource reserves and therefore does not have a basis for preparing a projection of the estimated future cash flow from a property is not obliged to conclude that the capitalized costs have been impaired. However, EIC-126 references certain conditions that should be considered in determining subsequent write-downs, such as changes or abandonment of a work program or poor exploration results, and management reviews such conditions to determine whether a write-down of capitalized costs is required. When the carrying value of a property exceeds its net recoverable amount, provision is made for the impairment in value.


Accounting standards subsequently issued by the CICA dealing with Intangible Assets (CICA 1581 and CICA 3062) include reference to “Use rights such as drilling, water, air, mineral, timber cutting, and route authorities” as examples of intangible assets. CICA 3062 also states, inter alia, that intangible assets should be amortized over their useful life and tested for impairment. Management has reviewed this potential reporting conflict with the previously issued standards and is of the opinion that it is appropriately accounting for its resource properties as having the characteristics of property, plant and equipment.

(e)

Asset retirement obligations


Effective April 1, 2004, the Company adopted the CICA Handbook Section 3110, “Asset Retirement Obligations” (“HB 3110”). HB 3110 requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation, such as site reclamation costs, be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The Company is required to record the estimated present value of future cash flows associated with site reclamation as a liability when the liability is incurred and increase the carrying value of the related assets for that amount. The obligations recognized are statutory, contractual or legal obligations.  .  The liability is accreted over time for changes in the fair value of the liability through charges to accretion, which is included in depletion, amortization and accretion expense.  The costs capitalized to the related assets are amortized in a manner consistent with the depletion and amortization of the related asset.  


As of September 30, 2006, the Company has determined that it does not have material obligations for asset retirement obligations. Accordingly, adoption of HB 3110 had no impact on the consolidated financial statements.


(f)

Foreign currency translation


Foreign denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated to their Canadian dollar equivalents using foreign exchange rates which prevailed at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items are translated at exchange rates prevailing when the assets were acquired or the obligations incurred. Foreign currency denominated revenue and expense items are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the transaction date. Exchange gains or losses arising on foreign currency translation are included in the determination of operating results for the year.


(g)

Earnings (loss) per share


The Company uses the treasury stock method to compute the dilutive effect of options, warrants and similar instruments.  Under this method the dilutive effect on earnings per share is recognized on the use of the proceeds that could be obtained upon exercise of options, warrants and similar instruments.  It assumes that the proceeds would be used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the period.


Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated using the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period.  For the six months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, the inclusion of the Company’s stock options and warrants in the computation of diluted loss per share would have an anti-dilutive effect on loss per share and therefore are excluded from the computation.

Significant accounting policies (continued)


(h)

Stock-based compensation


The Company accounts for the granting of share purchase options to employees and non-employees using the fair value method whereby all awards to employees and non-employees will be recorded at fair value on the date of the grant.  The fair value of all share purchase options are expensed over their vesting period with a corresponding increase to contributed surplus.  Upon exercise of share purchase options, the consideration paid by the option holder, together with the amount previously recognized in contributed surplus, is recorded as an increase to share capital.


The Company uses the Black-Scholes option valuation model to calculate the fair value of share purchase options at the date of grant. Option pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected price volatility.  Changes in these assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate and, therefore, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Company’s share purchase options.

Resource properties


Title to resource properties involves certain inherent risks due to the difficulties of determining the validity of certain claims as well as the potential for problems arising from the frequent ambiguous conveyancing history characteristic of many resource properties.  The Company has investigated title to all of its resource properties and, to the best of its knowledge, title to all of its properties are in good standing.  However, this should not be construed as a guarantee to title.  The concessions may be subject to prior claims, agreements or transfer and rights of ownership may be affected by undetected defects.

United States generally accepted accounting principles


These consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“Canadian GAAP”) conform to those generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), in all material respects, except as noted below:


Reconciliation of losses reported to U.S. GAAP:


  

2006

2005

    
 

Net loss as reported in accordance

      with Canadian GAAP


$(1,060,707)


$  (777,114)

 

Adjustments:

  
 

Mineral property costs expensed

(1,575,781)

(664,351)

 

Net loss under U.S. GAAP

$(2,636,488)

$(1,441,465)

    
 

Net loss per share under U.S. GAAP

$        (0.20)

$      (0.18)


Stock-based compensation – The Company records compensation expense for U.S. GAAP purposes following the fair value method of accounting for stock options issued to employees. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value its stock options as described in Note 5.


Net earnings per share and escrow shares – Under U.S. GAAP, performance-based escrow shares are considered to be contingently issuable until the performance criteria has been satisfied and are excluded from the computation of the weighted average of shares outstanding. The Company's escrow shares are not performance-based and therefore no adjustments have been made to the calculation of earnings per share.


On August 4, 2004, the Company entered into an escrow agreement with certain of its shareholders in respect of their 150,000 shares. The shares are being released from escrow as to 10% on final Exchange approval and the balance on a pro-rata basis at 15% semi-annually, with the final release scheduled for February 12, 2007. As of September 30, 2006, there were 67,500 shares still held in escrow.


Mineral properties –  Under Canadian GAAP, exploration costs are capitalized as disclosed in Note 2.  Under U.S. GAAP, exploration costs are expensed as incurred until proven and probable reserves are established.  When proven and probable reserves are determined for a property, subsequent exploration and development costs of the property are capitalized.


Under U.S. GAAP, mineral properties are reviewed by management for impairment whenever circumstances change which could indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable. Such review has not been completed as there are no capitalized properties for U.S. GAAP purposes.

Under U.S. GAAP, the Company must provide a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of basic and diluted earnings per share:

8,087,471

 

Basic and diluted net earnings (loss) per share

$           (0.20)

$       (0.18)


Diluted net loss per share reflects the potential dilution of securities that could result from the exercise of dilutive options and warrants. As of September 30, 2006, the Company had 1,425,000 (March 31, 2006 – 1,425,000) stock options outstanding and 1,090,350 (March 31, 2006 – 3,223,100) warrants outstanding which have not been included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.


Recent pronouncements:


Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted could have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
