FISCHER-WATT GOLD COMPANY, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

April 30, 2010

(UNAUDITED)


(1)

Basis of Presentation


The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) pursuant to Item 210 of Regulation S-X. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.  For further information, refer to the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2010.


The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.


(2)

Mineral Properties


On February 27, 2009, the Company completed the purchase of Tournigan USA, Inc. (“TUSA”) which was formerly a wholly owned subsidiary of Tournigan Energy Ltd. The prime asset in TUSA is its portfolio of mineral claims and leases covering in excess of 50,000 acres in Wyoming, South Dakota and Arizona that cover some of the most prospective uranium-bearing geology in the United States. Under terms of the agreement, Tournigan Energy Ltd retains a 30% carried interest in respect of each property in TUSA up to the completion of a feasibility study for any project encompassing any such property. Upon completion of a feasibility study, the 30% carried interest will convert into a 30% working interest in the Project or Tournigan Energy Ltd will have the option to dilute down to a 5% net profits interest.


The Company delivered a promissory note in the amount of $325,327 to Tournigan Energy Ltd. This note represented the amount paid by Tournigan Energy for the then current year’s Federal mineral claim maintenance fees along with working capital adjustments on the closing date. In addition to this note, the Company agreed to secure the release of reclamation bonds in the amount of $930,000 less any applicable reclamation costs. As at April 30, 2010, the deposit for reclamation bonds has been reduced to $354,400.


Both the promissory note to Tournigan Energy Ltd and the release of the reclamation bonds are unsecured, non-interest-bearing and were due August 31, 2009.  The due date of the promissory note was extended to December 15, 2009. In a further agreement, dated December 14, 2009, Tournigan Energy agreed to reduce the promissory note to $100,000 with payment of this amount on December 15, 2009. This payment was made by Fischer-Watt and the promissory note was extinguished.


6



_____________________________________________________________________________________________



Tournigan Energy also extended the repayment date of the first $530,000 of the reclamation bonds to December 15, 2009 and the repayment of the remaining $400,000, less the cost of the reclamation work, to September 30, 2010. Tournigan Energy agreed to accept a payment of $100,000 on December 15, 2009 as part payment of the $530,000 installment of the reclamation bond due on that date. The balance of $430,000 is to be paid from one half of subsequent equity share issues of Fischer-Watt until paid in full. The $100,000 payment was made to Tournigan Energy as scheduled. The $400,000 balance of the reclamation bond, less the cost of the reclamation work, remains to be repaid to Tournigan Energy on September 30, 2010.


This transaction has been approved by the TSX –V exchange, as Tournigan Energy Ltd is listed in Toronto on the TSX Venture Exchange.


Peter Bojtos, President, CEO and Chairman of the Board of Fischer-Watt declared his interest in this transaction since he is also a director of Tournigan Energy.


(3) Earnings Per Share


Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding. During periods when they are anti-dilutive, common stock equivalents are not included in the calculation.


(4)

Going Concern Consideration


The Company has incurred operating losses of $18,571,197 since inception and had a stockholders’ deficit and working capital deficit of ($1,107,055) at April 30, 2010 and no revenue producing operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.


The ability of the Company to achieve its operating goals and thus positive cash flows from operations is dependent upon the future market price of metals, future capital raising efforts, and the ability to achieve future operating efficiencies anticipated with increased production levels. Management's plans will require additional financing, reduced exploration activity or disposition of or joint ventures with respect to mineral properties. While the Company has been successful in these capital raising endeavors in the past, there can be no assurance that its future efforts and anticipated operating improvements will be successful.


The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.


(5)

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements


The Company adopted the following new accounting standards during the quarter ended April 30, 2010:



7



_____________________________________________________________________________________________



ASU 2010-6 amends existing disclosure requirements about fair value measurements by adding required disclosures about items transferring into and out of levels 1 and 2 in the fair value hierarchy; adding separate disclosures about purchase, sales, issuances, and settlements relative to level 3 measurements; and clarifying, among other things, the existing fair value disclosures about the level of disaggregation.  The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.


ASU 2009-17 revises the consolidation guidance for variable-interest entities. The modifications include the elimination of the exemption for qualifying special purpose entities, a new approach for determining who should consolidate a variable-interest entity, and changes to when it is necessary to reassess who should consolidate a variable-interest entity.  The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.


There were various other updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries.  None of the updates are expected to a have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.


(6)

Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses – Shareholders


During the three months ended April 30, 2010, the Company repaid $25,000 due to a shareholder.  In addition, two shareholders converted $171,589 of amounts owed to them into 2,859,820 shares of common stock as part of a private placement (see Note 8).


(7)

Asset Retirement Obligations and Restricted Deposits


Asset retirement obligations relate to legal obligations for site restoration and clean-up costs for exploration drilling activities in Arizona and Wyoming.  Settlement of most of these obligations is expected to occur in 2010. 


The Company has posted restricted reclamation deposits with US government agencies that are legally restricted for the purpose of settling these obligations.


(8)

Stockholders’ (Deficit)


During the three months ended April 30, 2010, the Company completed a private placement with the sale of 6,209,820 units at $0.06 per unit.  Each unit consisted of one common share and one warrant exercisable over 2 years for $0.12 per share.  The warrants contain a call option if the Company’s common shares trade over $0.18 per share for a 20-day period.


During the three months ended April 30, 2010, the Company issued 6,109,820 restricted shares of common stock as part of the private placement, of which 3,250,000 were issued for cash at $0.06 per share and 2,859,820 were issued in debt settlement of $171,589 to two shareholders. Cash proceeds received during the quarter ended April 30, 2010 were $186,000, with the remaining $9,000 received on May 15, 2010.


(9)

Subsequent Events


Subsequent to the period-end, the Company issued 100,000 restricted shares of common stock as part of a private placement, receiving cash proceeds of $6,000.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION


Overview


Fischer-Watt Gold Company, Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, "Fischer-Watt", "FWG" or the "Company"), was formed under the laws of the State of Nevada in 1986. Fischer-Watt's primary business is mining and mineral exploration, and to that end to own, acquire, improve, sell, lease, convey lands or  mineral  claims or any  right,  title or  interest  therein;  and to search, explore,  prospect or drill for and exploit ores and minerals therein or thereupon.


MINERAL PROPERTIES


The following is a description of the Company's mineral properties.  


In June 2006, Fischer-Watt acquired a 100% interest in a mineral lease in Pinal County, Arizona. The property had a history of gold and copper exploration. The Company carried out a surface geochemical survey followed by a shallow depth, air-track drilling program. Four areas of low grade, but pervasive, gold and copper mineralization were identified on the property.  This project was terminated and the property relinquished in August 2009.


Uranium Properties Acquisition


On February 27, 2009, the Company closed its transaction for the acquisition of a 100% interest in TUSA and under the closing terms, the Company issued to Tournigan Energy an interest-free promissory note, due August 31, 2009, for $325,327, which was the amount paid by Tournigan Energy for the then current year’s Federal mineral claim maintenance fees along with working capital adjustments on the closing date. In addition to this, the Company will also secure the release of, or reimburse Tournigan Energy for, the existing reclamation bonds on the properties in the amount of $930,000 less any applicable reclamation costs. This agreement was modified in a subsequent agreement on August 21, 2009, when Tournigan Energy extended the due date of the promissory note to December 15, 2009. Tournigan Energy also extended the repayment date of the first $530,000 of the reclamation bonds to December 15, 2009 and the repayment of the remaining $400,000, less the cost of the reclamation work, to September 30, 2010. In a further agreement, dated December 14, 2009, Tournigan Energy agreed to reduce the promissory note to $100,000 with payment of this amount on December 15, 2009. This payment was made by Fischer-Watt and the promissory note was extinguished. In addition, Tournigan Energy agreed to accept a payment of $100,000 on December 15, 2009 as part payment of the $530,000 installment of the reclamation bond due on that date. The balance of $430,000 is to be paid from one half of subsequent equity share issues of Fischer-Watt until paid in full. This $100,000 payment was made to Tournigan Energy as scheduled. The $400,000 balance of the reclamation bond, less the cost of the reclamation work, remains to be repaid to Tournigan Energy on September 30, 2010.


The Company has granted Tournigan Energy a 30% carried interest on each of the existing properties up to the completion of a feasibility study for any project encompassing any of these properties. At that point Tournigan Energy can elect to convert its interest into a 30% contributing working interest or allow its interest to dilute to a 5% net profits interest.

Mineral Claims and Leases


The mineral holdings in TUSA are comprised of 2,445 Federal lode claims covering 50,514 acres in Wyoming, South Dakota and Arizona, along with 3 State leases covering 879 acres in Wyoming. All the claims and leases are 100% controlled in TUSA and there are no further underlying agreements, payments or royalties other than statutory Federal, State and County fees and production royalties. Annual fees and minimum work requirements to hold these properties amount to approximately $350,000 if the Company chooses to hold all the current properties. The claims were staked by Sweetwater River Resources and Cowboy Explorations of Wyoming who were contracted by TUSA to perform geological services. All the claims and leases are now registered in TUSA’s name


Wyoming


The Wyoming properties consist of 1,571 Federal claims covering 32,457 acres and 3 State leases covering 879 acres distributed in five areas of prospective uranium bearing geology. Some of the properties are close to former producing uranium mines or in-situ recovery (“ISR”) operations. These areas are Cyclone Rim in Sweetwater County; South Pass in Sublette and Fremont Counties; Alkali Creek and Whiskey Peak in Fremont County; and Shirley Basin in Carbon and Natrona Counties.


Uranium mineralization in Wyoming is chiefly found in “roll-fronts”. The roll-fronts are crescent-shaped deposits formed in saturated, permeable sandstones. Groundwater flows through these host rocks carrying dissolved uranium and other metals such as iron, molybdenum, vanadium and selenium. These metals precipitate when the groundwater flow crosses the interface from oxidized conditions into reducing conditions in the sandstone and thereby deposit in the crescent-shaped forms.


Cyclone Rim.


The largest exploration area in TUSA is in the Cyclone Rim covering 23,097 acres. The claims are located in the northwestern portion of the Great Divide Basin and are located in Township 26 North, Range 96 West and Township 25 North, Range 94 through 96 West. The property extends for 25 miles astride the “CR Trend” rollfront. The area is underlain by rock units of the Wasatch and the Battle Springs Formations, which host uranium mineralization in the eastern Great Divide Basin and at Crooks Gap/Green Mountain located approximately 30 miles west. The general area was explored in the early 1970’s by Union Carbide and Teton Exploration, and in the late 1970’s by Newmont Mining, Rocky Mountain Energy, Western Fuels and Ogle Petroleum. The current claim group was assembled between 2005 and 2008 and it covers an extensive length of potential roll-front mineralization from the UT claims in the west and along the CR trend for a further 25 miles of favorable uranium geology. The east end of these claims is approximately 8 miles west of Rio Tinto’s Sweetwater uranium processing mill. That facility is presently on care and maintenance.

[fwgoform10ksub002.gif]




The mineralization occurs as typical Wyoming sandstone hosted roll-front uranium deposits in the Eocene age Battle Springs Formation. The lithology ranges from coarse sands and gravels to yellow and green silty sands and green sandy clay. Thin interbeds of green clay are common. The host unit is underlain by a thick bed of hard, chocolate brown clay shale. The mineralization tends to favor clayey sands.


Alteration, typical of roll-front uranium deposits, consists of reddish oxidized sands in the barren interior, up-dip from the roll-front, to green and grey reduced sands at the outer, down-dip part of the roll-front. Pyrite grains in the barren interior are corroded, while in the roll-front and in the outer portions the grains are fresh. This can be an important clue for locating drill-hole positions relative to the roll-front.


The mineralization in this area ranges in depth from less than 100 feet to over 500 feet below the surface.


In 2007, TUSA drilled 49 vertical mud rotary holes, each being of 6” diameter, on the UT claims to follow up on reports of uranium mineralization located in the area in historic drilling by Rocky Mountain Energy. Holes were drilled on 400 ft. spacings and uranium mineralization was encountered in 15 of the holes. Additionally, TUSA drilled seven core holes in order to twin holes containing the most significant mineralization. From the downhole radiometric readings it appears that the mineralization is in at least two shallow roll-fronts within about 200 feet below the surface. This could make a deposit in this area amenable to ISR.

The 15 holes that intersected significant uranium mineralization are reported below. The remaining 34 holes in this wide-spaced drill program did not encounter uranium mineralization of significance.

Note: The uranium grades are reported as % eU3O8 as determined by downhole radiometric logging equipment. A number of the rotary holes that had the most significant intercepts were twinned with core holes, which were then sampled, analyzed and calibrated with the gamma log readings in order to increase the accuracy of the disequilibrium coefficient. This is a mathematical means of equating gamma log readings to actual % U3O8.

In order to carry out an initial test of the 25 mile long CR trend, TUSA carried out a drill program in late 2007/early 2008 where it drilled 33 mud rotary holes and one core hole along nine widely spaced fences of drill-holes to provide cross-sectional information along the trend. Each fence was about 2.5 miles apart and vertical holes were drilled 200 ft. apart on each fence. These holes were designed to test for uranium mineralization along the 26-mile trace of the roll front. Significant uranium mineralization was found in 5 of the holes on three of the section lines. The mineralization was encountered at depths ranging from 50 feet to 750 feet below the surface with the mineralization plunging towards the east.

From these results it has been determined that uranium mineralization is present along a significant portion of the roll front trace. Furthermore, the mineralized intercepts appear to represent portions of a series of roll fronts stacked one on top of the other.


With this data Fischer-Watt has now started a preliminary calculation of the quantity and grade of mineralized material within the Cyclone Rim property. The results of this calculation will help guide the detailed planning of subsequent surveys and drill programs.


The Alkali Creek claims, totaling about 2,400 acres, lie about 8 miles north of the UT claims and are adjacent to claims held by Energy Metals Corporation. A reclaimed ISR operation that was operated by Ogle Petroleum is in the immediate vicinity. The Alkali Creek claims encompass historic close-spaced drilling patterns of Teton Energy and Newmont Mining.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________



South Pass


The 173 claims and 2 leases covering 3,813 acres at South Pass are located along the southeast flank of the Wind River Mountains in the Green River Basin. Exploration was carried out in this area in the late sixties by Federal American Partners, Getty Oil and Gulf Resources. In general they identified widespread low-grade mineralization over portions of a 26 mile long roll-front. Two mineralized areas, known as the East Sage and the Brett, were identified at that time. These will be evaluated by Fischer-Watt for the possible application of ISR.


Shirley Basin


The Shirley Basin uranium district is located in the northeastern part of Carbon County, between Casper and Medicine Bow. Uranium was historically produced from four mines beginning in 1959. Utah Construction and Homestake operated underground mines and Petronomics developed two open pits. Deposits in the area are hosted in the Wind River Formations of Eocene age.


TUSA holds claims in two areas of Shirley Basin, the MSB block of 132 claims and the NSB block of 45 claims. These 177 claims covering 3,657 acres are at the southern end of the Middle Shirley Basin Trend are in an area of reported uranium mineralization. No exploration has been carried out by TUSA to date.

[fwgoform10ksub005.jpg]


South Dakota


In South Dakota, TUSA holds three claim blocks totaling 256 claims over 5,300 acres in an area approximately 8 miles north of the town of Edgemont in the southern Black Hills district. The area covered by these claim blocks were initially held by Union Carbide and the Tennessee Valley Authority as part of a larger block known as the Chord claims. The Chord property encompassed more than 40 small open pits as well as a few underground operations. These operations produced uranium intermittently from the early 1950’s till the late 60’s, supplying ore to a former mill at Edgemont.


The three TUSA blocks are known as the Long, RC and DH claims and are located generally within the Long Mountain structural zone. This northeast trending fault zone, running through the area of the historic Chord claims, is approximately two miles wide, with uranium mineralization being hosted in four sandstone formations. Two of these are in the Cretaceous age Lakota Formations and two are in the overlying sandstone sequences.



15



_____________________________________________________________________________________________



The Long claims consist of 141 claims covering 2,800 acres that encompass a 3 mile long by 1 mile wide mineralized trend that includes pre-existing claims controlled by Strathmore Minerals. These cover the historic Viking, Virginia C and Ridge Runner orebodies. The eastern portion of the Long claims surrounds the historic Long Mountain orebodies, some of which are also covered by Strathmore claims. The US Forest Service has made application to withdraw certain lands in the Craven Canyon and Long Mountain area that would withhold entry to some of the claims in this portion.


Approximately 1 mile east of the Long claims is the 53 claim RC claim block covering 1,100 acres. This area contains two areas of prospective uranium mineralization as well as the Hot Point mineralized area.


The 67 claim DH claim block covers almost 1,400 acres in an area 1 mile south of the RC claims where in 1971 the US Geological Survey reported “widespread low grade mineralization”. Historic production was won from several small pits and at least two small underground operations where the reported average grade was 0.25% U3O8 and 0.30% vanadium oxide.


Arizona


TUSA holds 618 Federal lode claims on 12,768 acres in Mohave County , northern Arizona in the area known as the Arizona Strip immediately south of the Utah border. Uranium mineralization in these areas is hosted in “collapse” breccia pipes caused by the collapse of overlying rock strata into solution cavity caverns in the underlying limestones. Uranium mineralization was later deposited in the breccia pipes, at specific favorable horizons, by the action of downward migrating groundwaters carrying dissolved uranium. The deposits are relatively small horizontal tabular deposits, but are among the highest grade deposits in the United States.


The breccia pipes are about 300 feet in diameter on average and are recognized as a circular depression on the surface. There are a lot of these structures in northern Arizona and about 1% of them appear to be mineralized. TUSA’s non-contiguous 54 blocks of claims cover about 80 depressions.


TUSA has carried out extensive field work on the claims in the form of geological mapping along with soil and rock geochemical sampling since geochemical surveys have been shown in the past to be effective in identifying associated uranium mineralization. Based on this work TUSA selected about 20 areas as high priority targets. Several of these targets were followed up with  geophysical surveys in order to map out the vertical shape of the breccia pipes. Audio-frequency magnetotelluric surveys, using both natural source and controlled source, as well as limited seismic surveys were carried out on about 10 of the high priority targets. This was followed up with 11 holes being drilled into 4 targeted pipes for a total of 8,421 feet of drilling. Breccias were encountered in several of the holes and down-hole gamma surveys were carried out. The results are being evaluated to determine what follow-up programs should be planned.

[fwgoform10ksub006.jpg]


The TUSA properties currently have no reserves and there is no assurance that the projects will advance from their present exploration stage.  All of the exploration on the properties to date have been carried out by Cowboy Explorations of Laramie, Wyoming, a qualified and experienced geological contractor with extensive local geological knowledge. Fischer-Watt’s consulting geologist on the Cyclone Rim properties is W.T.Cohan & Associates, Inc. of Grand Junction, Colorado. The properties have also been physically examined in the field by Fischer-Watt’s President, Mr. P. Bojtos P.Eng., who is a qualified geologist.


In addition, the Company continues to evaluate other projects for possible acquisition although not as vigorously as previously because of the acquisition of TUSA. The Company continues to concentrate its interest on projects in the western part of the United States – primarily in the search for gold, copper, zinc or uranium.


17



_____________________________________________________________________________________________




The Company currently has insufficient capital to conduct its business and does not have sufficient capital to carry out its planned exploration program which over the next 12 months is estimated to cost $350,000.


The Company has cash on hand at April 30, 2010 of $129,980 plus restricted cash of $355,097, of which $354,400 is a reclamation bond that must ultimately be returned to Tournigan Energy.  The Company’s working capital deficit position of $1,107,055 raises the question of the ability of the Company to continue operations without further financing.  Total current liabilities at April 30, 2010 amounted to $1,710,079 of which $844,012 is due to shareholders where there are no specific terms of repayment for the demand notes, accrued expenses or other amounts owed to related parties.


The following outlines results to date in the current fiscal year for the quarter ended April 30, 2010 and outlines our plan of operation for the foreseeable future. It also analyzes our financial condition at April 30, 2010 and compares that condition to our financial condition at year-end January 31, 2010. This information should be read in conjunction with the other financial information and reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), especially our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2010.


Plan of Operation


The Company’s plan of operation for the coming months is to complete the review of data acquired in the TUSA transaction and determine and prioritize the work programs that the Company would like to carry out in 2010 on the extensive suite of properties in Wyoming, South Dakota and Arizona. Selected properties may also be made available for optioning by other interested companies or may be relinquished. With this information, a budget will be drawn up and the Company’s financial requirements for the coming year can then be ascertained. The Company continues to evaluate other mining properties in the western United States for possible acquisition and continues to explore various financing alternatives for the Company. During the quarter ending April 30, 2010, the Company  incurred maintenance fees expense of $101,014 pertaining to the uranium properties.  


Normal operating expenses for the next 12 months are estimated at $350,000, re the TUSA uranium properties and administration, and while the Company does not presently have sufficient working capital, it will continue to seek out necessary financing from existing shareholders and other potential investors.


Liquidity and Capital Resources



As of April 30, 2010, the Company had cash on hand of $129,980. The cash on hand does not include restricted cash of $354,400, which reflects a reclamation bond that must be repaid to Tournigan Energy, under the terms of the Purchase of TUSA by the Company.  Current liabilities include accounts payable of $36,067 and accrued expenses of $270,664, which are due a related party.  The working capital deficit at April 30, 2010 was $1,107,055 compared to $1,305,074 at January 31, 2010. This represents an improvement in the working capital deficit of $198,020, for the three months ended April 30, 2010.  



18



_____________________________________________________________________________________________



During the three months ended April 30, 2010, the Company completed a private placement financing amounting to $366,589. This consisted of the sale of 3,250,000 common shares at $0.06 per share for a total consideration of $195,000. The Company received cash proceeds of $186,000 during the quarter ended April 30, 2010, with the remaining $9,000 settled in full on May 15, 2010.  The Company also issued 2,859,820 shares of common stock at $0.06 per share in settlement of debt to two shareholders in the amount of $171,589.


There is no specific term of repayment for either the demand notes, accrued expenses or other amounts due to related parties, which amounted to $844,012 at April 30, 2010. Management recognizes that the Company does not have sufficient funds to retire its remaining debt and to sustain its operations. The Company continues to source out other appropriate financing in either equity or debt format, and it continues to seek out other mineral properties, but there is no assurance said financing is available or that said properties can be acquired on reasonable terms and conditions.



Results of Operations


Three Months Ended April 30, 2010 Compared to Three Months Ended April 30, 2009.


The Company had a net loss of $159,570 for the three months ended April 30, 2010 compared to a net loss of $59,125 for the three months ended April 30, 2009. The Company incurred $103,046 in exploration expenses related to the acquisition of the uranium claims in the current period ended April 30, 2010 whereas the Company had just acquired the claims in the period April 30, 2009 and had not yet incurred any exploration expenses.


General and administrative expenses for the three months ended April 30, 2010 amounted to $53,149 compared to $61,718 for the three month period ended April 30, 2009.


The Company acquired 100% of the common shares of TUSA on February 27, 2009. TUSA  contains a portfolio of uranium–bearing mineral claims and leases on over 50,000 acres in Wyoming, South Dakota and Arizona. The Company is still assessing the material pertaining to the various properties and has yet to finalize an exploration program going forward. It has paid all annual claim maintenance fees to the USA Bureau of Land Management for the year.

Going Concern Consideration


As the independent certified public accounting firm has indicated in their report on the financial statements for the year ended January 31, 2010, and as shown in the financial statements, the Company has experienced significant operating losses that have resulted in an accumulated deficit of $18,571,197 at April 30, 2010. These conditions raise doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.


The ability of the Company to achieve its operating goals and thus positive cash flows from operations is dependent upon the future market price of gold, future capital raising efforts, and the ability to achieve future operating efficiencies anticipated with increased production levels. Management's plans will require additional financing, reduced exploration activity, or disposition of or joint ventures with respect to mineral properties. While the Company has been successful in these capital-raising endeavors in the past, there can be no assurance that its future efforts, and anticipated operating improvements will be successful. Depending on the level of exploration activity, the Company does have adequate capital to continue its contemplated business plan through January 31, 2011, but does not have sufficient capital to carry out an extensive exploration program without additional capital. The Company is presently investigating all of the alternatives identified above to meet its short-term liquidity needs. The Company believes that it can arrange a transaction or transactions to meet its short-term liquidity needs, however there can be no assurance that any such transactions will be concluded or that if concluded they will be on terms favorable to the Company.

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. The Company’s certifying officer has concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in reaching that level of assurance.


As of the end of the period being reported upon, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, the Company's Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective.


There have been no changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could affect the internal controls subsequent to the date the Company completed its evaluation.

Item 2.  UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF

              PROCEEDS


During the three months ended April 30, 2010, the Company issued 6,109,820 shares of our common stock which were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act").  The shares issued were issued to qualified investors who participated in the private placement. A total of 3,250,000 shares of common stock were issued at $0.06 per share for cash consideration of $195,000 and 2,859,820 shares of common stock at $0.06 per share in settlement of debt outstanding of $171,589.  


We relied on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Act.  None of the offers were made by means of any public solicitation, and the investors had available the type of information that would have been included in a registration statement at the time of the investment.  Because of its relationship to the issuer of the securities, its financial sophistication and its financial situation, the investor required the protection afforded by registration under the Act.  Further, the certificate representing the shares sold in the offering are embossed with a legend as contemplated by Rule 144 of the Act, signifying that the shares represented by the certificate are restricted within the meaning of that Rule.
