CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Stated in U.S. dollars)
(Unaudited)
Gryphon Gold Corporation and its subsidiary, Borealis Mining Company (collectively, the Company), were incorporated in the State of Nevada in 2003. The Company is an exploration stage company in the process of exploring its mineral properties, and has not yet determined whether these properties contain reserves that are economically recoverable.
The recoverability of amounts shown for mineral property interests in the Companys consolidated balance sheets are dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to arrange appropriate financing to complete the development of its properties, the receipt of necessary permitting and upon achieving future profitable production or receiving proceeds from the disposition of the properties. The timing of such events occurring, if at all, is not yet determinable.
These interim unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial statements, applied on a consistent basis. These interim financial statements follow the same significant accounting policies and methods of application as those disclosed in Note 2 to the Companys audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended March 31, 2006 (the Annual Financial Statements), with the exception of Stock Based Compensation. Accordingly, they do not include all disclosures required for annual financial statements. These interim unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereon should be read in conjunction with the Annual Financial Statements.
The preparation of these interim unaudited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. In the opinion of management, these interim unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (which include only normal, recurring adjustments) necessary to state fairly the results for the periods presented. Actual results could vary from these estimates and the operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year.
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard 123R, Share-Based Payment, (SFAS 123 (R)) a revision to SFAS 123. SFAS 123(R) requires all share-based payments to be recognized in the financial statements based on their values using either a modified-prospective or modified-retrospective transition method.
Prior to March 31, 2006, the Companys stock-based employee compensation plans were account for under the recognition and measurement provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25) and related interpretations, as permitted by FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS 123). The Company did not recognize employee stock-based compensation costs in its statement of operations for the periods prior to March 31, 2006, as all options granted had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of the grant.
Effective April 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), using the modified-prospective-transition method. As a result of adopting FAS 123(R) net loss for the quarter ending June 30, 2006 increased by $10,113.

The Company initially entered into a property option agreement dated July 21, 2003 to acquire up to a 70% interest in the Borealis property in Nevada, USA from Golden Phoenix Minerals, Inc. for cash consideration of $125,000 and the obligation to make qualifying expenditures over several years. On January 28, 2005, the Company purchased outright the rights to a full 100% interest in the property for $1,400,000. A cash payment of $400,000 was made on closing. The Company paid the full outstanding consideration of $1,000,000, in four quarterly payments of $250,000 during the year ended March 31, 2006.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2006, the Company completed private placements to an officer and an employee of 129,000 units at Cdn$1.35, with each unit comprising of one common share and ½ of one common share series D warrant.

Options pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, particularly as to the expected price volatility of the stock. Changes in these assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate and therefore it is managements view that the existing models do not necessarily provide a single reliable measure of the fair value of the Companys equity instruments. |

The Company entered into a lease, maturing in May 2008, to acquire a second truck. The trucks are both accounted for as capital leases, with the present value of the required lease payments recorded as a liability and an asset at inception and thereafter lease payments reduce the liability and result in interest expense and the asset is depreciated. The actual combined lease payments are $2,371 per month with a residual payment of $12,000 due October 2007 and $13,854 due May 2008.

Gryphon Gold Corporation was incorporated in Nevada on April 24, 2003 and has corporate offices in Lakewood, Colorado and Vancouver, British Columbia. Our objective is to establish a producing gold company through the development and extraction of gold deposits, beginning with the Borealis Property. Currently our sole asset is a 100% interest in the Borealis Property, located in Mineral County, Nevada. We have not determined if the mineralized material from the Borealis Property can be economically exploited.
In July 2003 we initially acquired from Golden Phoenix Minerals, Inc. an option to earn a 70% joint venture interest in the Borealis Property by incurring qualified development expenditures. On January 28, 2005 we acquired the remaining interest held by Golden Phoenix in the Borealis Property for $1,400,000. Our subsidiary, Borealis Mining, paid to Golden Phoenix $400,000 upon closing of the purchase on January 28, 2005, with four additional quarterly payments of $250,000 due to Golden Phoenix. On January 24, 2006, Borealis Mining completed all its financial requirements with respect to Golden Phoenix with a final payment of $250,000.
As sole shareholder of Borealis Mining, we control all of the lease rights to a portion of the Borealis Property, subject to advance royalty, production royalty, and other payment obligations imposed by the lease. Our acquisition of the interest of Golden Phoenix in the Borealis Property terminated the July 2003 Option and Joint Venture Agreement.
In addition to our leasehold interest to a portion of the Borealis Property, we also own through Borealis Mining numerous unpatented mining claims that make up the balance of the Borealis Property, and all of the documentation and samples from years of exploration and development programs carried out by the previous operators of the Borealis Property, totaling thousands of pages of data including, but not limited to, geophysical surveys, mineralogical studies and metallurgical testing reports.
A portion of the Borealis Property is subject to the mining lease. We are required to make monthly lease payments of $8,916, adjusted annually based on change in the Consumer Price Index. In addition, the production of precious metals from the Borealis Property will be subject to the payment of the royalty under the terms of the mining lease. The terms of the mining lease and royalty are described under Borealis Property. We have also entered into office lease arrangements for offices in Lakewood, Colorado; Vancouver, British Columbia; and Hawthorne, Nevada.
In June 2006 we concluded our initial development and exploration drilling program. Technical work continues towards permitting and preparing the feasibility study on the redevelopment of the Borealis Mine. As a part of the feasibility work, we continued with engineering and field work, including extensive drill testing, to further define available gold mineralization. Near-surface oxide definition drilling to date consisted of 109 holes and is continuing. In addition 27 deeper holes were drilled as an exploration program to further define deeper sulfide gold mineralization within the limits of the area on our property which were previously disturbed by mining activity.
We are preparing a feasibility study on the previously mined area of the Borealis Property to further delineate the gold mineralization available for the operation of a mine, to upgrade some or all of the mineralized material to proven and probable reserves, design the open pit mine, heap leach pads and gold recovery plant and to estimate the capital and operating costs of the proposed mining scenario. Metallurgical test work has been completed and indicates the material is amenable to conventional heap-leach recovery methods. Once we have completed a feasibility study and, if warranted have made a decision to begin development, we intend to develop our Borealis Property and place it into production, assuming adequate additional capital is available.
On June 10, 2006, we completed private placements to an officer and employee of 129,000 units for gross proceeds of Cdn $174,150. The units were sold at a price of Cdn$1.35 each and consist of one common share and one half of one purchase warrant. Each warrant is exercisable until June 10, 2007 at a price of Cdn$1.82.
On June 26, 2006, we announced that the USDA Forest Service and the Nevada Bureau of Mining Regulation and Reclamation have both approved the Plan of Operations and Reclamation Plan, allowing Gryphon Gold to proceed with the development of a heap leach mine at the Borealis Gold Project. These
13
approvals, combined with the previously approved operating permits from the State of Nevada, represent the key regulatory approvals required to place the Borealis gold mineralization into production.
In fiscal 2006 our exploration work focused on extension and definition drilling and the broadening of district exploration. We expended $3.6 million on exploration of the Borealis property for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006.
During fiscal 2007, we plan to continue extension drilling within the Graben deposit. This 20-hole drilling program will consist of a series of broad step-out holes along the northern extension of the Graben trend and is scheduled to commence in September 2006. Guided by the new geophysical surveys and reinterpreted existing geophysical data, this program is designed to delineate the northern and western limits of the Graben deposits gold mineralization (budgeted at $1.4 million). Simultaneously, we intend to begin a broader scale district exploration reconnaissance and drilling program (budgeted at $0.55 million) This program is designed to determine which of the six other gold mineralized targets identified to date will be the focus of the next exploration program.
Our plan near term is to work towards completing a feasibility study and mine plan for our Borealis Property (expected second quarter 2007). Upon successful completion of a feasibility study and, if warranted, raise sufficient capital to build an open pit heap-leach mine. The following activities are planned for fiscal 2007:
| Completion of feasibility study for the Borealis Property and production decision. |
| Raise sufficient capital to begin construction of the heap leach mine at the Borealis Gold Project. |
| Initiate geophysical survey program to be completed during September 2006 is designed for targeting sites for the two new drilling programs. The program will consist of three gradient array induced polarization (IP) and resistivity surveys to identify chargeability and resistivity highs that are coincident with known aeromagnetic lows indicating areas of likely mineralization. |
| Initiate Graben deposit drilling extension program, a 20-hole drilling program will consist of a series of broad step-out holes along the northern extension of the Graben trend and is scheduled to commence in September 2006. |
| Initiate district exploration program to determine which of the six other gold mineralized targets identified to date will be the focus of the next exploration program. |
This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying, Unaudited Interim Financial Statements and related notes. The discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations are based upon the unaudited interim financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of any contingent liabilities at the financial statement date and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis we review our estimates and assumptions. The estimates were based on historical experience and other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results are likely to differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions, but we do not believe such differences will materially affect our financial position or results of operations. Critical accounting policies, the policies we believe are most important to the presentation of its financial statements and require the most difficult, subjective and complex judgments, are outlined below in Critical Accounting Policies, and have not changed significantly.
14
We use words like expects, believes, intends, anticipates, plans, targets, projects or estimates in this quarterly report. When used, these words and other, similar words and phrases or statements that an event, action or result will, may, could, or should occur, be taken or be achieved identify forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including, the risks and uncertainties outlined in Exhibit 99.1 titled Risk Factors and Uncertainties. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, believed, estimated or expected. Our management has included projections and estimates in this quarterly report, which are based primarily on managements experience in the industry, assessments of our results of operations, discussions and negotiations with third parties and a review of information filed by our competitors with the Securities and Exchange Commission or otherwise publicly available. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. We disclaim any obligation subsequently to revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.
We qualify all the forward-looking statements contained in this quarterly report by the foregoing cautionary statements.
The preparation of our unaudited interim financial statements is in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. We do not reconcile our unaudited interim financial statements to Canadian generally accepted accounting principles. The following are critical accounting policies and estimates which we believe are important to understanding our financial results.
Use of estimates |
The preparation of financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions which affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the revenues and expenses for the period reported. By their nature, these estimates are subject to measurement uncertainty and the effect on the financial statements of changes in such estimates in future periods could be significant. Actual results will likely differ from these estimates.
Exploration of mineral property interests |
We expense exploration costs as they are incurred. When we determine that a mining deposit can be economically and legally extracted or produced based on established proven and probable reserves, development costs incurred after such determination will be capitalized. The establishment of proven and probable reserves is based on results of final feasibility studies which indicate whether a property is economically feasible. Upon commencement of commercial production, we will transfer capitalized costs to the appropriate asset category and amortize them over their estimated useful lives and/or ounces produced, as appropriate. We capitalize the cost of acquiring mineral property interests (including original claim establishment) until we have determined the viability of the property. We expense capitalized acquisition costs if we determine that the property has no future economic value and ongoing claim maintenance costs. We will also write down capitalized amounts if estimated future cash flows, including potential sales proceeds, related to the mineral property are estimated to be less than the carrying value of the property.
Stock-based compensation |
As regulated by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123(R), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS No. 123(R)), commencing the quarter ended June 30, 2006, we have adopted the fair value method of accounting for share-based payments to employees and records compensation expense on each vesting period on options granted to its employees, directors and consultants.
15
Asset retirement obligations |
We record the present value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability in the period in which we incur a legal obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development or normal use of the assets with a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. This amount is depreciated over the estimated useful life of the related assets. The liability is subsequently accreted through charges to expense over its expected life. Currently, we have no asset retirement obligations.
Tax valuation allowance |
We have recorded a valuation allowance that fully reserves for our deferred tax assets because at this time we cannot establish that we will be able to utilize the tax loss carryforwards in the future. If in the future we determine that we will be able to use all or a portion of our deferred tax assets in the future, based on our projections of future taxable income, we will reduce the valuation allowance, thereby increasing income in that period.
Foreign currency translation |
The United States dollar is our functional currency. Transactions involving foreign currencies for items included in operations are translated into U.S. dollars using average exchange rates; monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date and all other balance sheet items are translated at the historical rates applicable to the transactions that comprise those amounts. Translation gains and losses are included in our determination of net income.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
The Financial Accounting Standards Board ratified the consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force that stripping costs incurred during the production phase of a mine are variable production costs that should be included in the costs of the inventory produced during the period that the stripping costs are incurred. This consensus is effective for the first reporting period in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005, with early adoption permitted. To date we have not incurred any stripping costs. We have adopted the consensus effective April 1, 2006.
Results of Operations
We are in an exploration stage and currently have no producing mineral properties and thus we had no revenues during all reporting periods.
Three months ended June 30, 2006 compared to three months ended June 30, 2005
For the three month period ended June 30, 2006 we had a net loss of $2,000,134 or $0.05 per share compared to a net loss of $817,918 or $0.03 per share in the same period in the prior year, as spending on our exploration activities increased significantly.
Exploration expenses during the three month period ended June 30, 2006 were $1,253,515 or 63% of our total expenses compared to $340,072 or 40% of total expenses in the prior year. The increase in spending was related to continuation of permitting activities, drilling program and feasibility study on our Borealis property, which commenced May 2005.
Management salaries and consulting fees in the quarter ended June 30, 2006 were $408,593 compared to $196,301 incurred in the quarter ended June 30, 2005 as staffing increased significantly. Salaries and consulting fees are expected to continue to increase in future periods as we expect to hire additional personnel if we commence mine development on the Borealis property. Legal and audit fees for the period decreased to $77,366 from $169,859 for the three months ended June 30, 2005, this is mainly due to costs incurred in prior years' comparable quarter associated to changing reporting to US generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) from Canadian GAAP and the legal and auditing costs incurred to become a public company, subject to additional reporting and compliance requirements.
16
Travel and accommodation during the quarter ended June 30, 2006 was $119,677, compared to $53,986 expended on travel in the prior year quarter. The increase is due to greater corporate travel associated with investor relations and property site visits. General and administrative expenses of $241,042, compared to $79,091 in the prior year quarter. The increase is due to higher spending on investor relations, rent with the establishment of our Lakewood office, office support and insurance. Travel and general and administrative expenses will continue to increase in future periods with the expected continuing increase in activity to support the development of our Borealis property and with the additional obligations as a public company in the United States and in Canada. Interest income earned on cash deposits was $92,427 for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, compared to $37,889 in the prior year quarter due to significantly higher cash balances then the prior quarter.
Our principal source of liquidity is cash which is raised by way of sale of commons shares from treasury.
At June 30, 2006 we had working capital of $7,049,472, and we had current assets consisting of $7,525,057 in cash, $105,429 in accounts receivable and $87,092 in prepaid expenses. We had $668,106 in current liabilities at June 30, 2006, consisting of $644,995 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and $23,111 in current portion of capital leases. We believe we have sufficient working capital to fund completion of our drilling program, permitting and feasibility study, costs related to lease and claim maintenance fees and general and administrative expense for the next 8 to 12 months. In order to bring the Borealis property into production we will need to obtain additional capital.
Summary of any product research and development that the company will perform for the term of the plan.
We do not anticipate performing any product research and development under our plan of operation.
Expected purchase or sale of plant and significant equipment.
We are reviewing alternatives for purchase of mine equipment if the development of a mine on the Borealis property is warranted by a feasibility study and additional financing is obtained.
Significant changes in number of employees.
We expect the number of employees to gradually increase from current level (10). We will require additional employees if we begin developing our Borealis Property.
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.
We make advance royalty payments of $8,916 per month to certain lease holders while exploration is proceeding on the Borealis Property. Also, to maintain its existing claims, we make payments totaling approximately $102,000 annually. These payments are contingent upon us maintaining an interest in the property.

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the specified time periods. As of the end of the period covered by this report, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation, which disclosed no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective and that our disclosure controls and procedures were adequately designed and are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in applicable rules and forms. In addition, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have determined that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that are filed under the Exchange Act are accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13(a)-15(f) or 15(d)-15(f)) that occurred during the companys most recent fiscal quarter and the period covered by this quarterly report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Except as provided below, neither we nor any of our property, including the Borealis Property, are currently subject to any material legal proceedings or other regulatory proceedings and to our knowledge no such proceedings are contemplated.
On September 16, 2005, our subsidiary, Borealis Mining Company, was named as a co-defendant in an ongoing civil action pending in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada, entitled United States v. Walker River Irrigation District (Court Doc. No. In Equity C-125, Subfile C-125-B). The action seeks to determine the existence and extent of water rights held by the federal government in the Walker River drainage area for use on federally reserved lands such as Indian reservations, National Forests, military reservations, and the like. The suit does not dispute nor seek to invalidate any existing water rights (including ours); rather, it seeks to determine the extent and priority of the federal governments water rights. On May 27, 2003, the Court stayed all proceedings to allow the United States, the State of Nevada, the State of California, the Walker River Paiute Tribe, the Walker River Irrigation District, Mono County, California, Lyon County, Nevada, Mineral County, Nevada and the Walker Lake Working Group to attempt to mediate a settlement. Borealis Mining Company was named as one of several hundred co-defendants in this action because it owns water rights within a portion of the Walker River drainage area in Nevada, which were granted under a permit on September 16, 2005. We, like most private water right owners, do not intend to participate in the merits of the lawsuit. We do not believe that this civil action, which will determine the extent and priority of federally reserved water rights in the area, will have any effect on our planned business operations as we currently have permits to access water from two sites for our Borealis Property, one of which is not subject to this action and either of which, individually, would provide a sufficient water supply for our planned operations.
Since the beginning of our last completed fiscal quarter, we have offered and sold the following securities in unregistered transactions pursuant to exemptions under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
On April 4, 2006, (later amended July 24, 2006) the Board of Directors approved subject to shareholder approval, a 2006 Omnibus Incentive Plan reserving 1,000,000 common shares to be granted as Restricted Stock Units. On the date of adoption 25,000 common shares were granted to an officer of the company, which vest over 12 to 24 months, under section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
On April 4, 2006, (later amended July 24, 2006) the Board of Directors approved an increase in the number of reserved shares of common stock for issuance to employees, officers, directors, consultants and advisors from 3,000,000 to 6,000,000 shares. Our Board of Directors approved the 2006 Omnibus Incentive Plan authorizing the grant of 3,000,000 options. Our 2004 Stock Option Plan authorizes the grant of 3,000,000 options. On the date of adoption 1,590,000 options were granted to directors, officers and a consultant, of which 1,475,000 are subject to shareholder approval and are exercisable for 5 years at a price of Cdn$1.37 per share. The options were granted pursuant to an exemption available under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
On April 18, 2006, the Board of Directors approved the grant of 290,000 stock options to an officer, employee and a consultant, 270,000 options are subject to shareholder approval. The options vest over 12 to 30 months and are exercisable for 5 years at a price of Cdn$1.37 per share. The consultant received 20,000 options which resulted in compensation expense of $2,553 being recorded for the portion which vested. The options were granted pursuant to an exemption available under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
On May 26, 2006, the Board of Directors approved the grant of 30,000 stock options to an outside consulting firm who will be providing certain investor relations services to the company. The options vest over the next 24 months and are exercisable for 5 years from the date of grant at a price of Cdn$1.60 per share. The grant is subject to shareholder approval. The options were granted pursuant to an exemption available under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
19
On June 10, 2006, we completed private placements of 129,000 units at Cdn$1.35, with each unit comprising one common share and ½ of one common share warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase a common share at a price of Cdn$1.82 per share until June 10, 2007. The private placement was made to accredited investors (as defined in Rule 501(a) of regulation D) pursuant to an exemption from registration available under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
