This report and its exhibits contain “forward-looking statements.” All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this report and its exhibits, including without limitation, statements regarding our financial position, estimated working capital, business strategy, the plans and objectives of our management for future operations and those statements preceded by, followed by or that otherwise include the words “believe,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “estimates,” “projects,” “target,” “goal,” “plans,” “objective,” “should,” or similar expressions or variations on such expressions are forward-looking statements. We can give no assurances that the assumptions upon which the forward-looking statements are based will prove to be correct. Because forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. There are a number of risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, our inability to obtain adequate financing, insufficient cash flows and resulting illiquidity, our inability to expand our business, government regulations, lack of diversification, volatility in the price of gold, increased competition, results of arbitration and litigation, stock volatility and illiquidity, and our failure to implement our business plans or strategies. For further information about the risks we face, see “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.

Except as otherwise required by the federal securities laws, we disclaim any obligation or undertaking to publicly release any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement contained in this Report to reflect any change in our expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

On December 23, 2010, California Gold Corp. (“we” or, the “Company”) held a closing of a private placement offering (the “Offering”) pursuant to which the Company sold to various institutional and accredited investors and non-U.S. persons (collectively, the “Investors”) 58,478,258 units of its securities (the “Units”) for gross proceeds of $1,461,956.45, at an offering price of $0.025 per Unit.  Each of 36,478,258 of the Units consists of one share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and a warrant to purchase one-half share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.125 per whole share (the “Warrants”). Each of the remaining 22,000,000 Units consists of one share of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), and Warrants to purchase one-half of one share of Common Stock. The Warrants will be exercisable from issuance until eighteen months after the closing of the Offering.  The Company plans to apply the net proceeds of this closing towards the AuroTellurio Acquisition (as defined below), certain outstanding accounts payable and working capital. $25,250 in fees were paid to one consultant in connection with advice related to acquisitions and financing.

Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible at any time into one share of Common Stock, subject to a 9.99% conversion blocker, and participates in dividends and other distributions on an equivalent basis with the Company’s Common Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock does not carry voting rights.

The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock and upon exercise of the Warrants, as the case may be, is subject to adjustment by the Company’s Board of Directors in the event of any change in the Company’s Common Stock, including changes by reason of stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications, mergers, consolidations or other changes in the capitalization of   Common Stock, and the Warrants contain weighted average anti-dilution protection.

The subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) between the Company and each of the Investors in the Offering provide the Investors with certain “piggyback” registration rights covering the shares of Common Stock included in the Units or issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock and registration rights covering the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants.
 
The sale of the Units and the securities contained therein were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 by virtue of Section 4(2) thereof and Regulation D and/or Regulation S promulgated thereunder, as transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering.  The purchasers of the securities represented their intention to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof, and appropriate restrictive legends are being affixed to the certificates issued in the Offering.  All purchasers of the securities represented and warranted, among other things, that they were accredited investors within the meaning of Regulation D and/or non-U.S. persons within the meaning of Regulation S, that they had the knowledge and experience in financial and business matters necessary to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the Company and had the ability to bear the economic risks of the investment, and that they had adequate access to information about the Company.

Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation.

On December 23, 2010, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada a Certificate of Designations pursuant to which the Board of Directors increased its authorized shares of preferred stock to 22,000,000 shares and designated such shares as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share. The shares of Series A Preferred Stock have the preferences and other rights, voting powers, restrictions and limitations as to dividends, qualifications and other terms and conditions as set forth in the Certificate of Designations.

See Item 3.02 above for a summary description of the terms of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. The foregoing summary does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the Certificate of Designations attached as an exhibit hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

Item 7.01.  Regulation FD Disclosure.

Attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 is a press release issued by the Company on December 28, 2010, announcing the matters set forth above under Item 3.10.

Item 8.01    Other Events.

As previously disclosed, on October 7, 2010, we signed a letter of intent, amended by letter dated November 11, 2010 (the “LOI”), with Mexivada Mining Corp. (“Mexivada”) to acquire an 80% interest in Mexivada’s La Viuda and La Viuda-1 concessions comprising its AuroTellurio tellurium-gold-silver property (the “Property”) in Moctezuma, Sonora, Mexico (the “Aurotellurio Acquisition”).

We have used $15,000 of the proceeds from the Offering to pay Mexivada the non-refundable portion of the down payment ($20,000 in total) on the Property required by the LOI.

In accordance with the terms of the LOI, we have given Mexivada our written confirmation that we intend to proceed with the AuroTellurio Acquisition.  Closing of the Aurotellurio Acquisition remains subject to satisfactory completion of documentation and other customary conditions.
