Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

July 31, 2012 and 2011

(Expressed in Canadian dollars)

(Unaudited)

1. Nature of operations and going concern

Bridgeport Ventures Inc. (the “Company” or "Bridgeport") was incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada by Articles of Incorporation dated May 10, 2007. The Company is engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of properties for the mining of precious and base metals. Bridgeport has operations in the United States and Canada. The Company is in the process of exploring its exploration properties for mineral resources and has not determined whether the properties contain economically recoverable reserves. The primary office of the Company is located at 401 Bay Street, Suite 3101, Toronto, Ontario, M5H 2Y4.

The business of mining and exploring for minerals involves a high degree of risk and there can be no assurance that current exploration programs will result in profitable mining operations. The recoverability of the carrying value of exploration properties and the Company's continued existence is dependent upon the preservation of its interest in the underlying properties, the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the achievement of profitable operations, or the ability of the Company to raise alternative financing, if necessary, or alternatively upon the Company's ability to dispose of its interests on an advantageous basis. Changes in future conditions could require material write-downs of the carrying values.

Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to the properties on which it is conducting exploration and in which it has an interest, in accordance with industry standards for the current stage of exploration of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee the Company's title. Property title may be subject to unregistered prior agreements and non-compliance with regulatory requirements. The Company's assets may also be subject to increases in taxes and royalties, renegotiations of contracts, currency exchange fluctuations and restrictions and political uncertainty.

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assume that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations as they come due. The Company has incurred losses in the current and prior periods, with a net loss of $314,281 for the three months ended July 31, 2012 and has an accumulated deficit of $17,638,851 to July 31, 2012 (April 30, 2012 -$17,326,010). As at July 31, 2012, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $17,321,073 and working capital of $17,382,708. Management of the Company believes that it has sufficient funds to pay its ongoing administrative expenses and to meet its liabilities for the ensuing twelve months as they fall due.

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported expenses and condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position classifications that would be necessary if the Company were unable to realize its assets and settle its liabilities as a going concern in the normal course of operations. Such adjustments could be material.

2.	Significant accounting policies
(a)	Statement of compliance

The Company applies International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”). These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting.

The same accounting policies and methods of computation are followed in these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements as compared with the most recent annual financial statements as at and for the year ended April 30, 2012. Any subsequent changes to IFRS that are given effect in the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ending April 30, 2013 could result in restatement of these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

(b) New standards not yet adopted and interpretations issued but not yet effective

There are no relevant changes in accounting standards applicable to future periods other than as disclosed in the most recent annual statements as at and for the year ended April 30, 2012.

3. Discontinued operation

During the year ended April 30, 2012, the Company committed to a plan to pursue the sale of its subsidiary Rio Condor Resources S.A. ("Rio Condor") and discontinued this operation since it was no longer in the Company's commercial objectives. Consequently, the operating results and cash flows of Rio Condor have been presented distinctly. The Company sold the interests it owned in Rio Condor on March 31, 2012 for cash consideration of US$62,100 ($61,412). The Company recorded a gain on disposal of $59,657 in the consolidated financial statements during the year ended April 30, 2012.

4. Acquisition of Premier Royalty

On June 28, 2012, the Company entered into a non-binding letter of intent that sets forth the basic terms of a business combination by Bridgeport of Premier Gold Mines Limited’s ("Premier Gold") wholly-owned subsidiary, Premier Royalty Corporation ("Premier Royalty") (the "Business Combination"). The letter of intent was replaced by a binding business combination agreement (the "Business Combination Agreement") entered into by Premier Gold, Premier Royalty and the Company on August 7, 2012 (see note 19).

In addition, in connection with the Business Combination, the common shares of Bridgeport will be consolidated on the basis of one post-consolidation Bridgeport share for every 4 existing Bridgeport shares. The dollar figures and amounts referenced below do give effect to the consolidation. The options and existing warrants of Bridgeport will also be adjusted to reflect the consolidation of Bridgeport shares and the distribution of Bridgeport Warrants.

Pursuant to the Business Combination, Bridgeport will issue shares to Premier Gold in such amount as is equal to 60% of the issued and outstanding shares of Bridgeport (prior to giving effect to any convertible securities or instruments). Bridgeport will also issue warrants to its existing shareholders on the basis of 0.375 of a warrant for each common share of Bridgeport held by such shareholders (on a post-consolidation basis). Each whole warrant (a “Bridgeport Warrant”) will be exercisable at a price of $2.00 per post-consolidation Bridgeport share for a period commencing on the date that is six months following the completion of the Business Combination and ending on the date that is four years following completion of the Business Combination, subject to early expiry upon the occurrence of certain events. Premier Gold has previously provided a bridge loan facility to Premier Royalty in connection with the acquisition by Premier Royalty of certain royalties. In addition to stipulated cash payback provisions, Premier Gold will be granted a one-time right in its sole discretion to convert all or a portion of the bridge loan into units of Bridgeport (at a price of $1.40 per unit, on a post-consolidation basis), each such unit consisting of one post-consolidation common share of Bridgeport and 0.375 of a Bridgeport Warrant. In addition, Premier Gold will receive up to an additional 2.8 million Bridgeport Warrants less the number of Bridgeport Warrants issued to Premier Gold pursuant to the conversion right set out above and an additional 1.4575 million Bridgeport Warrants which shall be exercisable until October 7, 2014. Also, convertible securities of Premier Royalty granted to certain vendors of royalty interests will convert into common shares or warrants of Bridgeport in connection with the Business Combination.

Premier Gold shall have the right to rename Bridgeport and set its new management team upon completion of the Business Combination. Bridgeport shall be entitled to two seats on the resulting Board of Directors.

On July 10, 2012, Premier Gold announced the closing of a private placement (the "Financing") by Premier Royalty, of an aggregate $11,500,000 principal amount of convertible debentures of Premier Royalty, which accrue interest at a rate of 8% per annum. The convertible debentures mature on May 31, 2013 unless, among other things, they are automatically converted as a result of the occurrence of a going public transaction by Premier Royalty, including the closing of the Business Combination. If the Business Combination is completed, the convertible debentures will convert into Bridgeport units at a price of $1.40 per unit. Each unit will consist of one common share of Bridgeport and 0.375 of a Bridgeport Warrant, which warrants will have the same terms as the Bridgeport Warrants discussed above. The proceeds will be used for royalty acquisitions and working capital.

In connection with the Business Combination Agreement, all of the outstanding stock options shall expire on or before the 90th day following the effective date of the Business Combination.

The Business Combination is subject to, among other things, approval of Bridgeport’s shareholders and, regulatory approvals including approval of the TSX. CIBC World Markets Inc. is acting as financial advisor to Premier Gold and Premier Royalty in connection with the Business Combination and PowerOne Capital Markets Limited is acting as financial advisor to Bridgeport in connection with the Business Combination.

12. Net loss per common share

The calculation of basic and diluted loss per share from continued operations and discontinued operation for the three months ended July 31, 2012 and 2011 was based on the loss attributable to common shareholders from continued operations of $314,281 and $682,706, respectively, the loss attributable to common shareholders from discontinued operation of $nil and $1,085,826, respectively, and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding of 50,579,600 and 50,579,600, respectively. Diluted loss per share for the period ended July 31, 2012 did not include the effect of 28,825,000 warrants (2011 - 28,825,000) and 4,492,500 stock options (2011 - 5,037,500) as they are anti-dilutive.

18. Commitment and contingencies

Environmental contingencies

The Company's activities are subject to environmental regulation (including regular environmental impact assessments and permitting) in each of the jurisdictions in which its mineral properties are located. Such regulations cover a wide variety of matters including, without limitation, prevention of waste, pollution and protection of the environment, labour relations and worker safety. The Company may also be subject under such regulations to clean-up costs and liability for toxic or hazardous substances which may exist on or under any of its properties or which may be produced as a result of its operations. It is likely that environmental legislation and permitting will evolve in a manner which will require stricter standards and enforcement. This may include increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects and a higher degree of responsibility for companies, their directors and employees.

The Company has not determined and is not aware whether any provision for such costs is required and is unable to determine the impact on its financial position, if any, of environmental laws and regulations that may be enacted in the future due to the uncertainty surrounding the form that these laws and regulations may take.
