SILVER FALCON MINING, INC.

(AN EXPLORATION STAGE COMPANY)

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2010 AND 2009

(UNAUDITED)


NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Silver Falcon Mining, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed in the State of Delaware on October 11th, 2007.  On October 15, 2007, we completed a holding company reorganization with Dicut, Inc. (“Dicut”) pursuant to Section 251(g) of the Delaware General Corporation Law.  Dicut previously operated in the information technology business, but ceased operations in 2005.

On October 11th, 2007, Goldland Holdings, Co. (“Goldland”) leased its mineral rights on War Eagle Mountain to us.  Under the lease, we are responsible for all mining activities on War Eagle Mountain, and we are obligated to pay Goldland annual lease payments of $1,000,000, payable on a monthly basis, a monthly non-accountable expense reimbursement of $10,000 during any month in which ore is mined from the leased premises, and a royalty of 15% of all amounts we receive from the processing of ore mined from the properties.  The lease provides that lease payments must commence July 1, 2010.  We began actual operations in May 2010.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Revenue Recognition

Sales of all metals products sold directly to smelters, including by-product metals, are recorded as revenues when title and risk of loss transfer to the smelter (generally at the time of shipment) at estimated forward prices for the estimated month of settlement.  Due to the time elapsed from shipment to the smelter and the final settlement with the smelter, we must estimate the prices at which sales of our metals will be settled. Previously recorded sales are adjusted to estimated settlement metals prices until final settlement by the smelter.  Revenue is recognized, net of treatment and refining charges, from a sale when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price is determinable, the product has been delivered, the title has been transferred to the customer and collection of the sales price is reasonably assured. Concentrate sales are initially recorded based on 100% of the provisional sales prices. Until final settlement occurs, adjustments to the provisional sales prices are made to take into account the mark-to-market changes based on the forward prices for the estimated month of settlement. For changes in metal quantities upon receipt of new information and assay, the provisional sales quantities are adjusted as well. The principal risks associated with recognition of sales on a provisional basis include metal price fluctuations between the date initially recorded and the date of final settlement. If a significant decline in metal prices occurs between the provisional pricing date and the final settlement-date, it is reasonably possible that the Company could be required to return a portion of the sales proceeds received based on the provisional invoice.

The Company’s sales based on a provisional sales price contain an embedded derivative that is required to be separated from the host contract for accounting purposes. The host contract is the receivable from the sale of the concentrates at the forward London Metal Exchange price at the time of sale. The embedded derivative, which does not qualify for hedge accounting, is marked to market through earnings each period prior to final settlement.

Cash and Cash Equivalents



10



Cash and cash equivalents consist of all cash balances and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. Because of the short maturity of these investments, the carrying amounts approximate their fair value.

Investments

Management determines the appropriate classification of its investments in equity securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such determinations at each reporting date. Investments in incorporated entities in which the Company’s ownership is greater than 20% and less than 50%, or which the Company does not control through majority ownership or means other than voting rights, are accounted for by the equity method and are included in long-term assets. The Company accounts for its equity security investments as available for sale securities in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“FAS”) No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.” The Company periodically evaluates whether declines in fair values of its investments below the Company’s carrying value are other-than-temporary in accordance with FSP FAS 115 No. 115-1 and FAS 124-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and its Application to Certain Investments.” The Company’s policy is to generally treat a decline in the investment’s quoted market value that has lasted continuously for more than six months as a other-than-temporary decline in value. The Company also monitors its investments for events or changes in circumstances that have occurred that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investment and evaluates qualitative and quantitative factors regarding the severity and duration of the unrealized loss and the Company’s ability to hold the investment until a forecasted recovery occurs to determine if the decline in value of an investment is other-than-temporary. Declines in fair value below the Company’s carrying value deemed to be other-than-temporary are charged to earnings. Additional information concerning the Company’s equity method and security investments is included in Note 15.

The Company accounts for its investments in auction rate securities in accordance with FAS No. 115. Specifically, when the underlying security of an auction rate security has a stated or contractual maturity date in excess of 90 days, regardless of the frequency of the interest rate reset date, the security is classified as an available-for-sale marketable debt security.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of average costs incurred or estimated net realizable value. Major types of inventories include materials and supplies and metals product inventory, which is determined by the stage at which the ore is in the production process (stockpiled ore, work in process and finished goods).

Materials and supplies inventory are valued at the lower of average cost or net realizable value.

Stockpiled ore inventory represents ore or tailings that have been mined, hauled to our mill site, and are available for further processing.  Stockpiled ore inventory is currently valued at our cost to haul to our mill site.  To the extent stockpiled ore inventory consists of ore or tailings from different areas of our mine containing materially different amounts of recoverable metals, we will allocate our costs between the different stockpiles by estimating the number of tons in the stockpile, the number of contained metal ounces or pounds (based on assay data) and the estimated metallurgical recovery rates (based on the expected processing method), and allocating the costs based on relative values of material stockpiled.

Work in process inventory represents materials that are currently in the process of being converted to a saleable product and includes inventories in our milling process. In-process inventories are currently valued at the average cost of the material fed into the process attributable to the source material coming from the mines and stockpiles, plus the in-process conversion costs, including applicable depreciation relating to the process facilities incurred to that point in the process.   In the future, in-process material will be valued at the lower of cost or the value of the inventory based on assays of the material fed into the process and the projected recoveries of our milling operation.



11



 

Finished goods inventory includes concentrates at our operations, concentrate in transit to smelters and bullion in our accounts at smelters, and may in the future include dore that is produced from our concentrate.  At this time, we only have the capacity to produce concentrate.  Finished goods inventories are valued at the lower of full cost of production or net realizable value based on current metals prices.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Expenditures for new facilities or equipment and expenditures that extend the useful lives of existing facilities or equipment are capitalized and recorded at cost. The facilities and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method at rates sufficient to depreciate such costs over the estimated productive lives.

Costs are capitalized when it has been determined an ore body can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves. The development stage begins at new projects when our management and/or Board of Directors makes the decision to bring a mine into commercial production, and ends when the production stage, or exploitation of reserves, begins.  Expenditures incurred during the development and production stages for new facilities, new assets or expenditures that extend the useful lives of existing facilities and major mine development expenditures are capitalized, including primary development costs such as costs of building access ways, shaft sinking, lateral development, drift development, ramps and infrastructure developments.

Costs for exploration, secondary development at operating mines, and maintenance and repairs on capitalized property, plant and equipment are charged to operations as incurred. Exploration costs include those relating to activities carried out (a) in search of previously unidentified mineral deposits, (b) at undeveloped concessions, or (c) at operating mines already containing proven and probable reserves, where a determination remains pending as to whether new target deposits outside of the existing reserve areas can be economically developed. Secondary development costs are incurred for preparation of an ore body for production in a specific ore block, stope or work area, providing a relatively short-lived benefit only to the mine area they relate to, and not to the ore body as a whole.

When assets are retired or sold, the costs and related allowances for depreciation and amortization are eliminated from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in current period net income (loss). Idle facilities placed on standby basis are carried at the lower of net carrying value or estimated net realizable value.

Proven and Probable Ore Reserves 

At least annually, management reviews the reserves used to estimate the quantities and grades of ore at our mines which we believe can be recovered and sold economically.  Management’s calculations of proven and probable ore reserves are based on engineering and geological estimates, including future metals prices and operating costs. From time to time, management obtains external audits of reserves.  To date, we have not obtained any third party report regarding potential reserves on our owned and leased property at War Eagle Mountain, and accordingly we have not estimated that there are any proven or probable reserves on our property.



12



Reserve estimates will change as existing reserves are depleted through production and as production costs and/or metals prices change. A significant drop in metals prices may reduce reserves by making some portion of such ore uneconomic to develop and produce. Changes in reserves may also reflect that actual grades of ore processed may be different from stated reserve grades because of variation in grades in areas mined, mining dilution and other factors. Estimated reserves, particularly for properties that have not yet commenced production, may require revision based on actual production experience. It is reasonably possible that certain of our estimates of proven and probable ore reserves will change in the near term, which could result in a change to estimated future cash flows, associated carrying values of the asset and amortization rates in future reporting periods, among other things.

Declines in the market prices of metals, increased production or capital costs, reduction in the grade or tonnage of the deposit or an increase in the dilution of the ore or reduced recovery rates may render ore reserves uneconomic to exploit unless the utilization of forward sales contracts or other hedging techniques are sufficient to offset such effects. If our realized price for the metals we produce were to decline substantially below the levels set for calculation of reserves for an extended period, there could be material delays in the development of new projects, net losses, reduced cash flow, restatements or reductions in reserves and asset write-downs in the applicable accounting periods. Reserves should not be interpreted as assurances of mine life or of the profitability of current or future operations. No assurance can be given that the estimate of the amount of metal or the indicated level of recovery of these metals will be realized.

To date, we have not obtained any third party report regarding potential reserves on our owned and leased property at War Eagle Mountain, and accordingly we have not estimated that there are any proven or probable reserves on our property.

Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization

Capitalized costs are depreciated or depleted using the straight-line method or unit-of-production method at rates sufficient to depreciate such costs over the shorter of estimated productive lives of such facilities or the useful life of the individual assets. Productive lives do not exceed the useful life of the individual asset. Determination of expected useful lives for amortization calculations are made on a property-by-property or asset-by-asset basis at least annually. Our estimates for mineral reserves are a key component in determining our units of production depreciation rates. Our estimates of proven and probable ore reserves may change, possibly in the near term, resulting in changes to depreciation, depletion and amortization rates in future reporting periods.

Undeveloped mineral interests are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives taking into account residual values. At such time as an undeveloped mineral interest is converted to proven and probable reserves, the remaining unamortized basis is amortized on a unit-of-production basis as described above.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews and evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. An impairment is considered to exist if the total estimated future cash flows on an undiscounted basis are less than the carrying amount of the assets, including goodwill, if any. An impairment loss is measured and recorded based on discounted estimated future cash flows. Future cash flows are estimated based on quantities of recoverable minerals, expected gold and other commodity prices (considering current and historical prices, price trends and related factors), production levels and operating costs of production and capital, all

based on life-of-mine plans. Existing proven and probable reserves and value beyond proven and probable reserves, including mineralization other than proven and probable reserves and other material that is not part of the measured, indicated or inferred resource base, are included when determining the fair value of mine site reporting units at acquisition and, subsequently, in determining whether the assets are impaired. The term “recoverable minerals” refers to the estimated amount of gold or other commodities that will be obtained after taking into account losses during ore processing and treatment. Estimates of recoverable minerals from such exploration stage mineral interests are risk adjusted based on management’s relative confidence in such materials. In estimating future cash flows, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of future cash flows from other asset groups. The Company’s estimates of future cash flows are based on numerous assumptions and it is possible that actual future cash flows will be significantly different than the estimates, as actual future quantities of recoverable minerals, gold and other commodity prices, production levels and operating costs of production and capital are each subject to significant risks and uncertainties.

Goodwill

The Company evaluates, on at least an annual basis during the fourth quarter, the carrying amount of goodwill to determine whether current events and circumstances indicate that such carrying amount may no longer be recoverable. To accomplish this, the Company compares the estimated fair value of its reporting units to their carrying amounts. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, the Company compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill to its carrying amount, and any excess of the carrying value over the fair value is charged to earnings. The Company’s fair value estimates are based on numerous assumptions and it is possible that actual fair value will be significantly different than the estimates, as actual future quantities of recoverable minerals, gold and other commodity prices, production levels and operating costs of production and capital are each subject to significant risks and uncertainties.

Stock Based Compensation

The Company has issued and may issue stock in lieu of cash for certain transactions. The fair value of the stock, which is based on comparable cash purchases, third party quotations, or the value of services, whichever is more readily determinable, is used to value the transaction

Use of Estimates

The Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Accordingly, actual results may differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Basic and Diluted Per Common Share

Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 128, “Earnings Per Share,” basic  earnings  per common  share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares assumed to be outstanding during the period of computation. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Because the Company has incurred net losses, basic and diluted loss per share are the same since additional potential common shares would be anti-dilutive.

Significant Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009 the FASB established the Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification” or “ASC”) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”).  Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of GAAP for SEC registrants.  Existing GAAP was not intended to be changed as a result of the Codification, and accordingly the change did not impact our financial statements.  The ASC does change the way the guidance is organized and presented.


Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) ASU No. 2009-05 (ASC Topic 820), which amends Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures – Overall, ASU No. 2009-13 (ASC Topic 605), Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, ASU No. 2009-14 (ASC Topic 985), Certain Revenue Arrangements that include Software Elements, and various other ASU’s No. 2009-2 through ASU No. 2010-18 which contain technical corrections to existing guidance or affect guidance to specialized industries or entities were recently issued.  These updates have no current applicability to the Company or their effect on the financial statements would not have been significant.


In February 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-09, which, among other things, amends Subtopic 855-10 with respect to the date through which evaluation of subsequent events must occur and under which circumstances such date must be disclosed.  The update amends subtopic 855-10 so that an SEC filer is not required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. This change alleviates potential conflicts between Subtopic 855-10 and the SEC’s requirements. All of the amendments in this update are effective upon issuance, with limited exceptions.  Adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements.


During February 2010, the FASB also issued ASU 2010-08, which corrects existing guidance for various topics. The update is generally effective for the first reporting period (including interim periods) beginning after issuance.  We believe these corrections will have minimal, if any, impact on our financial statements.


In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, which amends Subtopic 820-10 to require new disclosures regarding the amounts of and reasons for significant transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 fair value measurement categories, and separate information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in Level 3 fair value measurements.  ASU 2010-06 also clarifies existing fair value measurement disclosures to provide for fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities, even within a line item in the statement of financial position, and to provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements that fall in either the Level 2 or Level 3 categories.


ASU 2010-06 also includes conforming amendments to the guidance on employers’ disclosures about post-retirement benefit plan assets (Subtopic 715-20), changes the terminology in Subtopic 715-20 from major categories of assets to classes of assets, and provides a cross reference to the guidance in Subtopic 820-10 on how to determine appropriate classes to present fair value disclosures.



15



 


The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures in ASU 2010-06 are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements.  Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years.  Adoption of this guidance has not had a material impact on our financial statements and is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements in the future.

NOTE 5 – PREPAID EXPENSES

On October 1, 2008, we entered into a Commercial Lease Agreement, under which we leased office space in New York, New York.  Under the Commercial Lease Agreement, we issued the lessor 1,250,000 shares of our Class A Common Stock at the inception of the lease in full payment of lease payments under the lease totaling $110,160.  We capitalized the lease payment as a prepaid expense, and are amortizing the amount on a monthly basis over the life of the lease.   

In 2008, we issued 5,750,000 shares of Class A Common Stock for consulting contracts with terms of 24 to 36 months.  The shares were valued at $404,840.  In 2009, we issued 10,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock for consulting contracts with terms of 12 to 48 months totaling $454,500.  In the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we issued 1,070,063 shares of Class A Common Stock for under an employment contract with terms of 12 months totaling $168,000. We capitalized these consulting fee payments as a prepaid expense, and amortize the amounts over the lives the consulting agreements.

NOTE 6 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

On October 11, 2007, Goldland leased its mineral rights on War Eagle Mountain to us.  The mineral rights consist of 174.82 acres of land on War Eagle Mountain in Idaho, consisting of a 100% interest in 103 acres, and a 29.166% interest in 71.82 acres, plus an additional 44 lease claims obtained from the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. Under the lease, we are responsible for all mining activities on War Eagle Mountain, and we are obligated to pay Goldland annual lease payments of $1,000,000, payable on a monthly basis, a monthly non-accountable expense reimbursement of $10,000 during any month in which ore is mined from the leased premises, and a royalty of 15% of all amounts we receive from the processing of ore mined from the properties.  The lease, as amended, provides that lease payments must commence July 1, 2010.  We paid lease payments totaling $250,000 to Goldland during the three months ended September 30, 2010.  

Pierre Quilliam, our chairman and chief executive officer, is also the chairman and chief executive officer of Goldland.  Mr. Breitkreuz, who is and officer and director of us, is also an officer and director of Goldland.

·

4,883,325 shares of Class A Common Stock were issued to various vendors for consulting services valued at $836,270.

·

3,664,051 shares of Class A Common Stock valued at $595,146 were issued to a vendor for services and equipment related to our milling operation.

We also repurchased 70,270 shares of Class A Common Stock for $13,000, or $0.185 per share, which was the market price at the time of the transaction.



18



As of September 30, 2010, the Company had outstanding notes payable to various investors in the original principal amount of $2,837,356.  All of the notes are convertible into shares of Class A Common Stock at election of the holder at conversion prices ranging from $0.0195 to $0.276 per share.  Maturity dates range from July 3, 2010 to June 8, 2012.   At June 30, 2010, an aggregate of 46,815,285 shares of Class A Common Stock were issuable upon conversion of the notes.

Shares issued for services were valued at the market price on the date of the invoice for the services.  Shares issues for prepaid services are valued at the market price on the date of the contract for the services.  Shares issued for services which specify that a specific number of shares be issued are valued at the market price on the date of the contract.  The conversion prices on all convertible notes were set at the market price on the date on the issuance of the convertible note.

As of September 30, 2010, we did not have outstanding any options, warrants or securities convertible or exchangeable into common stock, other than as discussed above.

NOTE 9 – GOING CONCERN

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.  However, we incurred a net loss of ($6,257,560) for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.  We have remained in business primarily through the deferral of salaries by management, the issuance of stock to compensate employees and consultants, and raising funds from the sale of two year convertible notes. We intend on financing our future development activities from the same sources, until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements.

These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

NOTE 10 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

During October 2010, we issued 9,448,173 shares of Class A Common Stock valued at $489,138 upon conversion of promissory notes.

Since September 30, 2010, we borrowed $133,000 from various investors pursuant to promissory notes that accrue interest at a rate of 7% annually.  The notes provide that interest is payable monthly, and all principal and interest on the notes is due two years after issuance of the notes. Principal and interest due on the notes is convertible at the election of the holder.

Overview

On September 14, 2007, Goldland acquired an interest in 174.82 acres of land on War Eagle Mountain, consisting of a 100% interest in 103 acres, and a 29.166% interest in 71.82 acres.  Goldland also owns five placer lease claims on War Eagle Mountain from the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, each of which covers approximately 20 acres, or approximately 100 acres in total.

On October 11, 2007, Goldland leased its mineral rights on War Eagle Mountain to us.  Under the lease, we are responsible for all mining activities on War Eagle Mountain, and we are obligated to pay Goldland annual lease payments of $1,000,000, payable on a monthly basis, a monthly non-accountable expense reimbursement of $10,000 during any month in which ore is mined from the leased premises, and a royalty of 15% of all amounts we receive from the processing of ore mined from the properties.  The lease, as amended, provides that lease payments must commence July 1, 2010.  We began actual operations in May 2010.  Initially, as described below, actual operations will consist of processing tailings left on the mine site from prior mining operations.  Later, after we complete a confirmation program to prove up and locate reserves on our property, and make further capital improvements to the mine site, we plan to begin mining and processing raw ore.

On September 21, 2008, we acquired from Mineral Extraction, Inc. all mineral, mining and access rights to two mining claims on War Eagle Mountain, covering 18.877 total acres, as well as claims for four mill site locations and the Sinker Tunnel location.

Our plan to develop our mining properties into an active mine will take place in three phases.

Start-up Phase

Our initial phase involves completing construction of a mill, and using the mill to process tailings left over from prior mining operations.  We closed on the purchase of our mill site in early December 2009.  We made improvements to the road to the mill site, located a prefabricated office and mill lodging on the property, drilled a water well, installed a prefabricated building on the mill site and installed our mill equipment in the building, among other improvements.  In May 2010, we began to process tailings leftover from 5 to 6 prior mill sites on the mountain.  Our testing indicates that there are sufficient quantities of gold and silver remaining in the tailings to justify further processing, as a result of milling techniques used in the 1800’s that failed to extract all of the gold and silver from the ore.  We elected to build the mill on private property that we own, rather than BLM property, because of lower reclamation costs, even though the offsite property will entail higher transportation costs.



20



Through most of the third quarter of 2010, we concentrated on training our employees, calibrating our equipment and otherwise perfecting our milling process to optimize the amount of metals that we extract from the tailings we are processing.  We initially concentrated on relatively low-grade tailings in order to reduce the amount of metals that are not captured prior to our milling process being optimized.  In October 2010, we shipped our first load of 508 pounds of concentrate to a smelter, which represented our production for the first twenty days of operation.  We plan to ship another load later this fiscal year that will contain concentrate from a greater period of operation, and ship additional loads on a regular basis thereafter. Now that our milling operations have improved, we have also begun to process tailings from other areas of the mine site that have greater concentrations of gold and silver.

Our current mill is able to process up to 125 tons per day, although the optimal production level is currently about 3.5 tons per hour, or about 70 tons per day.  We are investigating an expansion to our mill which would double the number of tons that we can process.  We believe we would need to purchase an additional $450,000 of equipment to double our mill’s capacity.

Confirmation Phase

During the third quarter of 2010, we substantially revised the scope and cost of our confirmation phase.  Our confirmation phrase refers to a program to prove up and locate reserves on our property. We need to obtain a satisfactory estimate of the remaining reserves on the property and their location in order to develop a comprehensive plan for the full development of the mine site.  The program will involve building a three dimensional map of War Eagle Mountain showing the precise location of veins, shafts and tunnels.  Through exploratory drilling and core sampling, we hope to obtain as much information as possible about the location, thickness and quality of the vein systems near the main shafts, and later throughout the entire mountain.  The map will be a valuable tool in analyzing the extent of the remaining reserves, mineralization trends, and other pertinent geological and mining information.  The most significant change to the confirmation phase contemplates a more comprehensive set of core samples, both from the surface of the mountain and from the inside of the mountain using the Sinker Tunnel, and associated costs, including locating drilling equipment at the site, and logistical costs for the crew, such as vehicles, meals, shelter on the mountain, and accommodations for a geologist, field technician and drill crew.  We decided to expand the scope of the confirmation phase in order to obtain a National Instrument 43-101, which is a report developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators for mining companies.  A National Instrument 43-101 is necessary for listing our common stock on any exchange overseen by the Canadian Securities Authority, including the Toronto Stock Exchange.

We have retained a surveying firm, Engineering Northwest, Inc., to perform the confirmation phase.  The surveyors will perform their services under the direction of William Earll, our general manager for our mining operations.

Another aspect of the confirmation phase will involve the development of a plan to use the Sinker Tunnel to mine the interior of the mountain on a year round basis.  The plan will involve accessing and draining the mine shafts on the top of the mountain from the Sinker Tunnel, as well as relocating and collaring old shafts on the mountain.  We estimate that the confirmation phase will take about 18 months, and will cost approximately $4,500,000.  We began preliminary work on the confirmation phase in the quarter ended June 30, 2010.

Development Phase



21



The development phase involves transitioning the mine from processing tailings leftover from prior mining activities to extracting and processing raw ore from the mountain.  We believe that full scale mining of raw ore will be profitable.  In particular, historical records of mining on the site, and subsequent reports of the geology of the mountain, indicate that veins containing gold and silver extend much further vertically than could be mined when the site was last mined in the 1880’s.  In addition, historical records indicate that gold and silver exists in the veins in sufficient densities to warrant mining using modern extraction and milling techniques.  The scope of the development phase will depend on the outcome of the Confirmation Phase, which is designed to test the accuracy of our analysis.  Our goal is to develop a drilling program that reaches as many reserves as possible at the lowest cost.  Among the improvements to the mine site that we anticipate making in the development phase are:

·

We plan to connect the mine shafts on the top of the mountain to the Sinker Tunnel in order to provide drainage to the mine shafts;

·

We plan to install a transportation system in the Sinker Tunnel (either tire mounted trams, narrow gauge railway, or conveyor system) to move ore out of the Sinker Tunnel for transport to our mill site; and

·

Additional improvements include housing, storage, food preparation facilities, generators for power, etc.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we started (and have since completed) some improvements to the mine site that were previously part of our development phase, including improving about four miles of the county road linking State Route 78 with Silver City, 1.8 miles of access road to the Sinker Tunnel Complex from the county road, and about 1.6 miles of access road to the Oro Fino vein outcrop area to permit heavier loads and year round access, as well improvements to the physical facilities at the milling location site and mine site to accommodate our workers.  

We estimate that the improvements during the development phase will cost about $6 million, and will take 14 to 18 months to complete.

Our revenue, profitability, and future growth rate depend substantially on factors beyond our control, including our success in the commencement of mining operations, as well as economic, political, and regulatory developments and fluctuations in the market prices of minerals processed from ore derived from our mining operations.

Results of Operations

Nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009

We are in the exploration stage and have generated no revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.  Our revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 are not representative of our revenues in the future.  In May 2010, we began processing tailings from our mine site at our mill.  We plan to process the tailings into concentrate, which would then be shipped for final processing to a smelter, which would either then either return the material to us in the form of dore bars or pay us a market price for the minerals ultimately extracted from the concentrate.  In October 2010, we shipped our first load of concentrate to a smelter.  We anticipate future shipments will be made on a regular basis.

We reported losses from operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 of ($6,121,584) and ($1,889,581), respectively.  The increased loss in 2010 as compared to 2009 was attributable to the following factors:

Salaries and wages increased from $132,250 in 2009 to $477,378 in 2010 as a result of the addition of new employees;

·

Depreciation expense decreased from $127,929 in 2009 to $95,532 in 2010 as a result of depreciation of $58,486 related to mill equipment used in production that was capitalized as inventory during the three months ended September 30, 2010, offset by increased depreciation overall resulting from the acquisition of substantial equipment to be used in our mining operations in 2010 and late 2009.

·

Tunnel, road and pit maintenance increased from $22,147 in 2009 to $251,589 in 2010 as a result of work on our road and the sinker tunnel.

·

General and administrative expenses increased to $805,515 in 2010 as compared to $329,828 in 2009 as a result of property lease fees of $250,000 and operating expenses related to the new mill operations of approximately $225,000.

We reported net losses during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 of ($6,257,560) and ($1,967,879), respectively.  The increased loss in 2010 as compared to 2009 was largely attributable to an increase in loss from operations and by an increase in interest expense resulting from higher interest bearing debt in 2010.  In particular, interest expense increased from $78,298 in 2009 to $135,976 in 2010.

Three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009

We are in the exploration stage and have generated no revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.  Our revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2010 are not representative of our revenues in the future.  In May 2010, we began processing tailings at our mine site.  We plan to process the tailings into concentrate, which would then be shipped for final processing to a smelter, which would either then either return the material to us in the form of dore bars or pay us a market price for the minerals ultimately extracted from the concentrate.  In October 2010, we shipped our first load of concentrate to a smelter.  We anticipate future shipments will be made on a regular basis.   

We reported losses from operations during the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 of ($1,684,017) and ($760,996), respectively.  The increased loss in 2010 as compared to 2009 was attributable to the following factors:

Comparison of 2009 and 2010

In the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2010, we financed our operations primarily through the issuance of convertible notes and the issuance of common stock for services.

Operating activities used ($659,529) of cash in 2010, as compared to ($344,895) of cash in 2009.  Major non-cash items that affected our cash flow from operations in 2009 were non-cash charges



24



of $127,929 for depreciation and amortization, and $1,449,470 for the value of common stock issued for compensation.  Our operating assets and liabilities supplied $45,585 of cash, most of which resulted from an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $114,750, offset by a decrease in accounts payable of ($128,975).

Major non-cash items that affected our cash flow from operations in 2010 were non-cash charges of $154,018 for depreciation and amortization, and $5,164,351 for the value of common stock issued for compensation.  Our operating assets and liabilities used ($189,558) of cash, most of which resulted from an increase in accrued payroll of $323,238, offset by a reduction of (94,522) of accounts payable and an increase in inventories of ($559,993).

Investing activities used ($999,451) of cash in 2010, as compared to ($30,142) of cash in 2009.  The significant increase in cash used in investing activities was attributable to materially greater expenditures for equipment used to construct our mill, as well as improvements to our mining property.  

Financing activities supplied $1,692,384 of cash in 2010 as compared to $395,558 of cash in 2009.  Substantially all of the cash supplied in both years derived from the issuance of notes, net of sums spent to repay notes.  In 2010, we issued $1,825,515 in notes, as compared to 2009 when we issued $443,000 of notes.

Our balance sheet as of September 30, 2010 reflects current assets of $559,993, current liabilities of $1,761,688, and a working capital deficit of ($1,167,689).

We will need substantial capital over the next year.  We believe that we have sufficient capital at this time to process tailings at our mine site, but will need about $6,500,000 to complete a confirmation process and commence processing raw ore.  In addition, we financed a lot of prior activities by the issuance of convertible notes that mature two years after their issuance.  In particular, as of September 30, 2010, we had outstanding $3,039,856 in notes payable, of which $724,100 is due within one year of that date.  

The capital that we have raised to date has enabled us to finance the startup phase of our business plan, which involves processing mine tailings left from previous mining activity at the site, and will enable us to begin revenue generating activities. Now that have begun operations, we believe that additional capital sources will become available, including investment funds and other investors that we have talked to who want to see us generating revenues before they make an investment.  We have a number of options that we believe will enable us to continue with our business plan despite insufficient capital.  For example, we plan to continue deferring payment of salaries to our management, certain accounts payable, and if necessary some portion of our monthly lease payments to Goldland, because in each case we do not expect the creditor to take any legal action against us as a result of the deferral.  Goldland, for example, is controlled by our officers, and therefore we do not expect Goldland to take any legal action as a result of our deferral of lease payments to it.  We also plan to continue issuing shares to certain service providers that are willing to accept shares for payment.  In the event we are able to raise some, but not all, of the capital that we need, we plan to request that note holders extend the maturity of their notes or convert their notes into shares of common stock.

Going Concern

Our financial statements have been presented on the basis that we continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  As shown in the accompanying financial statements, we incurred a net operating loss in the nine months ended September 30, 2010, and have no revenues at this time.  These factors create an uncertainty about our ability to continue as a going concern.  We are currently trying



25



to raise capital through a private offering of convertible notes and to solicit existing convertible note holders to convert their notes into common stock.  Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the success of this plan.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that 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 are material to investors.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 of Notes to Financial Statements. At this time, we are not required to make any material estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and related disclosures of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. However, as we begin actual mining operations, we will be required to make estimates and assumptions typical of other companies in the mining business.  

For example, we will be required to make critical accounting estimates related to future metals prices, obligations for environmental, reclamation, and closure matters, mineral reserves, and accounting for business combinations.  The estimates will require us to rely upon assumptions that were highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimates are made, and changes in them are reasonably likely to occur from period to period.  Changes in estimates used in these and other items could have a material impact on our financial statements in the future.

Our estimates will be based on our experience and our interpretation of economic, political, regulatory, and other factors that affect our business prospects. Actual results may differ significantly from our estimates.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Because the Company is a smaller reporting company, it is not required to provide the information called for by this Item.

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Pierre Quilliam, our chief executive officer, and Tom Ridenour, our chief financial officer, are responsible for establishing and maintaining our disclosure controls and procedures.  Disclosure controls and procedures means controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in those reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of June 30, 2010.  Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of the evaluation date, such controls and procedures were adequate.

Changes in internal controls

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
