Energizer Resources Inc. (formerly Uranium Star Corp.) (An Exploration Stage Company) Notes to Consolidated Interim Financial Statements - Unaudited December 31, 2010 (Expressed in US Dollars)

1. Exploration Stage Company and Going Concern

Energizer Resources Inc. (formerly Uranium Star Corp.) (the "Company") was incorporated in the State of Nevada, United States of America on March 1, 2004 and reincorporated in the State of Minnesota on May 14, 2008. The Company is an Exploration Stage Company, as defined by ASC Topic-915, "Development Stage Entities". During fiscal 2008, the Company incorporated Uranium Star (Mauritius) Ltd., a subsidiary in the country of Mauritius and Energizer Resources Madagascar Sarl (formerly Uranium Star Madagascar Sarl), a subsidiary in the country of Madagascar. In fiscal 2009, the Company incorporated THB Venture Ltd, a company incorporated in Mauritius to hold the interest in Energizer Resources Minerals Sarl (formerly Uranium Star Minerals Sarl) which holds the Madagascar properties. The Company's principal business is the acquisition and exploration of mineral resources. The Company has not yet fully determined whether its properties contain mineral reserves that are economically recoverable.

These consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has yet to generate revenue from mining operations or pay dividends and is unlikely to do so in the immediate or foreseeable future. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations and the attainment of profitable operations. As at December 31, 2010, the Company has accumulated losses of $49,491,070. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated interim financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

2. Significant Accounting Policies Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

These unaudited consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with those annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, these unaudited consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods shown. The results of operations for such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for a full year or for any future period.

Fair Value of Marketable Securities Hierarchy

FASB Accounting Standards Codification effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009, the FASB has defined a new hierarchy for U.S. GAAP and established the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) as the sole source for authoritative guidance to be applied by nongovernmental entities. The adoption of the ASC changes the manner in which U.S. GAAP guidance is referenced, but it does not have any impact on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet or Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Beginning July 1, 2008, the Company partially applied FAS 157 (ASC Topic-820) as allowed by FASB Staff Position ("FSP") 157-2, (ASC Topic-820-10) which delayed the effective date of ASC Topic-820 for non-financial assets and liabilities. As of July 1, 2008 the Company had applied the provisions of ASC Topic-820 to its financial instruments and the impact was not material. On July 1, 2009, the Company adopted ASC Topic-820 to its non-financial assets and liabilities. The adoption did not have a material impact on the financial statements.

The Company primarily applies the market approach for recurring fair value measurements and utilizes the best available information. Accordingly, the Company uses valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Company is able to classify fair value balances based on the observability of those inputs.

2. Significant Accounting Policies - continued Fair Value of Marketable Securities Hierarchy- continued

ASC Topic-820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy defined by ASC Topic-820 are as follows:

Level 1 - Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments such as exchange-traded derivatives, listed equities and U.S. government treasury securities.

Level 2 - Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. These models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, volatility factors, and current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. Instruments in this category include non-exchange-traded derivatives such as over the counter forwards, options and repurchase agreements.

Level 3 - Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management's best estimate of fair value from the perspective of a market participant. Level 3 instruments include those that may be more structured or otherwise tailored to customers' needs. At each balance sheet date, the Company performs an analysis of all instruments subject to ASC Topic-820 and includes in Level 3 all of those whose fair value is based on significant unobservable inputs.

As of December 31, 2010, all of marketable securities owned by the Company were Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.

5.      Mineral Properties

Green Giant Property, Madagascar, Africa

On August 22, 2007, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with Madagascar Minerals and Resources Sarl ("MMR"), a Madagascar incorporated company. A joint venture was established with the Company owning a 75% undivided interest and MMR owning the remaining 25% interest in the Green Giant Property (formerly Three Horses Property). The properties are located in the District of Toliara and are referenced as TN 12306, P(R); TN 12814, P(R); TN 12887 P(R); TN 12888 P(R); TN 13020 P(R); TN 13021 P(R) as issued by the Bureau de Cadastre Minier de Madagascar ("BCMM") pursuant to the Mining Code 1999 (as amended) and its implementing decrees.

In order to acquire the 75% interest, the Company paid a total of $765,000, and issued 1,250,000 common shares and 500,000 share purchase warrants. Each now expired share purchase warrant was exercisable at $1.00 per share. On December 10, 2007, the Company issued 1,250,000 common shares valued at $375,000 based on the prevailing quoted market price of $0.30 per share and 500,000 (now expired) share purchase warrants valued at $60,560 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Subsequently, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $1,200,560 which represents the total cash paid and the value of common shares and warrants issued.

On July 9, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire the remaining 25% interest for $100,000. On acquisition of the remaining 25% the joint venture with MMR was terminated. MMR retains a 2% net smelter return (NSR). The NSR on this 25% interest portion can be acquired by the Company for $500,000 in cash or common shares for the first 1% and at a price of $1,000,000 in cash or common shares for the second 1% at our option.

5. Mineral Properties - continued

Sagar Property - Romanet Horst, Labrador Trough, Quebec, Canada

On May 2, 2006, the Company signed a letter of intent for an option to acquire a 75% interest in 200 claims located in northern Quebec, Canada. The vendor had the right and option to sell the remaining 25% interest in the property. This agreement was subject to a NSR dated May 27, 1992, as amended November 3, 1993. The vendor had previously acquired a 100% interest in the property, subject to a 1% NSR on certain claims, and a 0.5% NSR on other claims. The vendor has the right to buy back half of the 1% NSR for $200,000 and half of the 0.5% NSR for $100,000. In order to exercise its option, the Company issued 2,000,000 common shares, 2,000,000 now expired share purchase warrants and incurred exploration expenditures greater than $2,000,000 on the property before September 1, 2008. On February 28, 2007 the vendor exercised its option to sell its remaining 25% interest on the property to the Company for 1,000,000 common shares (valued at $1,219,000) and 1,000,000 share purchase warrants valued at $752,985 using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The Company now owns a 100% interest in this property. The Company has incurred exploration expenditures of $7,363,663 as at December 31, 2010.

On August 15, 2006, the Company acquired 19 mineral claims contiguous to the Sagar property for $5,385; 150,000 common shares valued at $103,500; and 75,000 share purchase warrants valued at $34,961. These common shares and warrants were issued on October 4, 2006. As at December 31, 2010, the cumulative impairment loss which represents the total cash paid and the value of common shares and warrants issued, was $143,846.

6.      Common Stock
a)      On August 17, 2009, the Company issued 2,250,000 shares of common stock to directors, officers and consultants as compensation for services rendered at a fair value of $382,500. The shares were valued at an estimated fair market value of $0.17 per share based on the prevailing quoted market price on the date of issue.
      
b)      On October 5, 2009, the Company issued 500,000 shares of common stock valued at $340,000, and 250,000 shares of common stock valued at $340,000, and 250,000 share purchase warrants valued at $113,125 to a director. The prevailing market price on the date of issuance was $0.68. The share purchase warrants issued are exercisable at $0.58 per share for a period of two years from date of issuance. The warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions: risk free interest rate - 2.25%; expected volatility - 172%; dividend yield - NIL; and expected life - 2 years.
 
c)      On March 15, 2010, the Company closed a private placement of 21,666,667 units for gross proceeds of $6,500,000 (the "2010 Offering"). Each unit consists of one common share and one common share purchase warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder the right to purchase one common share at an exercise price of $0.50 for a period of three years following the later of March 15, 2010 and the date of listing on the TSX-V, which occurred on May 5, 2010 under the trading symbol EGZ. The expiry of the warrants may be accelerated by the Company if the shares of common stock trade at a price greater than $0.75 at any time after 9 months from March 15, 2010 for a period of 21 consecutive days on the OTC Bulletin Board ("OTCBB") or the TSX-V, provided that the Company has filed, and had declared effective, the Registration Statement (as defined below).
      
  The units were issued together with listing and filing rights, which rights could have been converted into an escalating number of shares of common stock if the Company did not complete its TSX-V Listing or file a resale registration statement for the securities issued in connection with the 2010 Offering (the "Registration Statement") by certain specific dates. The Company was listed on the TSX-V on May 5, 2010 and its Registration Statement was declared effective by the Securities Exchange Commission on November 10, 2010.

Milestones

Green Giant Property, Madagascar

On August 22, 2007, we acquired a 75% interest in approximately 225 sq. kilometres of mineral permits in the District of Toliara, Madagascar. This interest is held by a limited liability company that was formed under the laws of Madagascar which held a 75% interest in the property. The remaining 25% interest was held by Madagascar Minerals and Resources sarl. Exploration programs have been carried out in the first quarter of 2007 and the first half of 2008 on the Green Giant Property as well as the Ianapera Coal Property located to the north of the Green Giant Property.

Drilling of 31 holes (4,073 meters) was carried out in the fourth quarter of 2008. Vanadium mineralization of potential economic consequence was intersected in a number of holes. In the first half of 2009 a series of 56 trenches were established, using mechanical excavators, over an 18 kilometre strike length of the property. Analytical results provided by XRF instrumentation indicated significant widths of vanadium mineralization in the majority of the trenches. The Company then proceeded to drill 54 diamond drill holes (8,931 meters) in the latter half of 2009 to delineate a vanadium resource on the Property. A further 46 diamond drill holes (8,952 meters) were emplaced on the Property in 2010 to further enhance the resource delineation. An additional drill program is anticipated on the Property commencing in the 2nd quarter of the 2011 calendar year. A consulting engineering group has been retained to start preliminary economic assessments of the property. Metallurgical and mineralogical work is also being carried out.

On July 9, 2009, our company acquired the remaining 25% interest in the Madagascar property and now holds a 100% interest in the property.

Sagar Property – Romanet Horst, Labrador Trough, Québec, Canada

A drill program was completed for the Sagar Property in 2007. A total of 164 reverse circulation drill holes (2,625 meters) and 5,610 meters of diamond drill holes (46) were completed. Additionally, in excess of 3,500 soil samples were collected and analyzed. Target areas on the Sagar Property have shown anomalous gold, copper and uranium mineralization. Future exploration activity will be designed to identify the potential source area of the Mistamisk Boulder Field, as well as other potential sources of gold and uranium mineralization.

Competitive Conditions

The mineral exploration and mining industry is competitive in all phases of exploration, development and production. We compete with a number of other entities and individuals in the search for, and acquisition of, attractive mineral properties. As a result of this competition, the majority of which is with companies with greater financial resources than us, our company may not in the future be able to acquire attractive properties on terms it considers acceptable. Furthermore, we compete with other resource companies, many of whom have greater financial resources and/or more advanced properties that are better able to attract equity investments and other capital. Factors beyond our control of may affect the marketability of minerals mined or discovered by our company.

Employees

As of December 31, 2010, we had nil total employees and nil full-time employees. We engage consultants to serve as officers and to perform professional and administrative functions of our company.

Agreement

On August 22, 2007, we entered into a joint venture agreement with Madagascar Minerals and Resources sarl ("MMR" or "Madagascar Minerals"), a company incorporated under the laws of Madagascar. The joint venture, to be known as the "Three Horses Joint Venture", was operated through a Madagascar limited liability company in which our company held 75% undivided interest and Madagascar Minerals held the remaining 25% interest.

The consideration paid to Madagascar Minerals to acquire the 75% stake in the joint venture consisted of:

(i)      a signing fee of $15,000 within 15 days of the properties vesting in the joint venture;
(ii)      a payment of $750,000 within 15 days of the properties vesting in the joint venture; and
(iii)      the issuance of 1,250,000 of our common shares and 500,000 of our common share purchase warrants within 30

days of the properties vesting in the company created for the joint venture under Madagascar law. Each common share purchase warrant is exercisable at $1.00 per share for a period of 2 years from the date of issuance.

In the event that one or other of the parties is unable to make their contribution to funding, their interest will be diluted accordingly. In the event that a joint venture party’s interest in the joint venture is diluted below 10%, then that interest will be exchanged with the majority shareholder for a 2% net smelter return. Furthermore, the remaining joint venture party may acquire that royalty as follows:

(i)      the first 1% at US$1,000,000 in cash or our common shares; and
(ii)      the second 1% at US$1,500,000 in cash or our common shares;

both at the option of the remaining shareholder.

On July 9, 2009, our company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the remaining 25% interest of the "Three Horses Joint Venture" for cash consideration of $100,000. On acquisition of the remaining 25% the joint venture with MMR was terminated. MMR retains a 2% net smelter return ("NSR"). We can acquire the NSR on this 25% interest portion at a price of $500,000 in cash or common shares for the first 1% and at a price of $1,000,000 in cash or common shares for the second 1% at our option.

Exploration Programs

The Green Giant Property consists of 576 squares, covering an area of approximately 225 square kilometers, and displays extensive gossans outcroppings at surface. An examination of part of the Property revealed several large areas covered with gossanous boulders, which are believed to overlie massive sulphide mineralization.

All phases of the exploration projects have been managed by Taiga Consultants Ltd. of Calgary, Canada.

We conducted a first phase of exploration from September to November 2007 for the "Three Horses Joint Venture", which included the following activities:

  • Stream Sediment sampling of all stream on the property area
  • Detailed Geological mapping over selected startigraphic horizons
  • Reconnaissance geological mapping over the entire property
  • Soil sampling over selected target areas
  • Prospecting over selected target areas.
  • Limited trenching over selected targets
  • Construction of a cinder block base camp
  • Construction of a one kilometer long surfaced airstrip
  • Repair and surfacing of the access road from base camp to the airstrip
  • Airborne geophysical surveying over the Green Giant Property by Fugro Airborne Surveys Ltd

In the latter part of March 2008 to June 2008 a full field exploration program following up on the airborne geophysical survey and results of the 2007 exploration program was implemented. This exploration consisted of the following activities:

  • Infill stream sediment sampling
  • Detailed Geological mapping over selected stratigraphic horizons
  • Prospecting over selected target areas
  • Grid emplacement over selected target areas
  • Ground-based magnetometer and frequency domain EM surveys
  • Soil sampling over selected target areas

 

 

16



After reviewing the analytical data obtained from the March to June, 2008 program, additional exploration was conducted on the property from July 1, 2008 to September 30, 2008 in preparation for a drill program. This exploration consisted of the following activities:

  • Infill stream sediment sampling
  • Detailed Geological mapping over selected stratigraphic horizons
  • Prospecting over selected target areas with the aid of a mobile XRF analyzer

Based on compiled analytical results obtained from the various exploration programs, a drill program was initiated on the property from September 30, 2008 to November 24, 2008. This exploration program consisted of the following activities:

  • Prospecting over selected target areas with the aid of a mobile XRF analyzer
  • Ground-based scintillometer surveying over selected target areas
  • Diamond drilling of 31 holes over 4,073 metres

The discovery of potentially significant vanadium mineralization from the 2008 exploration program resulted in the initiation of resource delineation drill program from September 1, 2009 to December 20, 2009. This exploration program consisted of the following activities:

  • XRF soil sample analyses (8,490 samples) on lines 200 meters apart and covering 18 kilometre strike length
  • Scintillometer surveying (112 line kilometres) on lines 200 meters apart over an 18 kilometre strike length
  • Trenching (140 trenches for 17,105 meters)
  • Diamond drilling of 54 diamond drill holes over 8,931 meters

The 2009 exploration program resulted in the delineation of two vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) deposits (named the Jaky and Manga) on the Green Giant Property, characterized by two separate categories: oxide and primary. Within the oxide and primary zone of the Jaky and Manga deposits, the total Indicated resources was calculated to be 21.74 Mt at 0.759% V2O5 containing 363.8 Mlb of vanadium pentoxide. The total Inferred resource was calculated to be 4.15 Mt at a grade of 0.655% V2O5 containing 59.8 Mlb of vanadium pentoxide. Based on these results, we conducted an additional exploration program on the Property from April 11, 2010 to July 25, 2010. This program consisted of the following activities:

  • Diamond drilling of 46 diamond drill holes over 8,952 meters
  • Prospecting over selected target areas with the aid of a mobile XRF analyzer (20 grab samples)
  • Geologic mapping over the Manga and Mainty deposits at 1:5000 scale
  • ERT ground geopshysical survey (5.64 km)
  • MAG ground geophysical survey (169.53 km)
  • Gradient Array EM ground geophysical survey (128.82 km)

2008 Diamond Drilling

Diamond drilling completed in 2008 on the Green Giant Property tested a series of gossans and EM conductors, however no Volcanic Massive Sulphide (VMS) mineralization of significance was encountered. Drilling did confirm the presence of a series of mineral occurrences highly enriched in vanadium and a number of associated anomalous elements, which were first seen in stream sediment sampling programs. Due to this unexpected result the focus of exploration shifted to vanadium mineralization part way through the 2008 drill program.

**Average of Drill Intercepts - 43.9m @ 0.36% V2O5

The serendipitous discovery of potentially economic vanadium mineralization on the property changed the course of the 2008 diamond-drilling program. Through a combination of prospecting, ground based scintillometer surveying, and analysis of airborne radiometrics, five vanadium-bearing trends were identified over the course of the 2008 exploration program.



Vanadium-bearing Trends

Based on positive early indications of the presence of potentially economic grades and volumes of vanadium on the Green Giant Property, another exploration program was initiated on the Green Giant Project in the spring of 2009. The program (completed between April 23 and July 16, 2009) consisted of an extensive X-Ray Fluorescence analysis (XRF) soil sampling program coupled with mechanical trenching and scintillometer surveys over known areas of vanadium enrichment and new areas, defined by the soil XRF survey.

After reviewing the analytical results from the spring 2009 exploration program, an additional exploration program was carried out between September and December 2009. This exploration program involved mechanical trenching, diamond drilling with accompanying litholgical, structural and geotechnical logging, specific gravity determination, point load tests and metallurgical sampling. All work was carried out under a well-supervised Quality Assurance and Quality Control program.

The primary aim of the September to December 2009 drill program was to delineate reserves at the Jaky and Manga targets. A total of 8,931 meters (4509.2m in 30 drill holes at the Jaky target and 4422m in 24 drill holes at the Manga target) of diamond drilling was completed. Selected drill holes were oriented with point load test and orientation measurements recorded.

Analytical results from the 2009 exploration program were given to our consulting engineering firm AGP Mining Consultants Inc. (formerly PEG Mining Consultants) to calculate a vanadium pentoxide resource. Based on the favourable resource calculation results, we conducted and additional drill program between April and July, 2010. This exploration program involved diamond drilling with accompanying lithological, structural and geotechnical logging, specific gravity determination, point load tests and metallurgical sampling. All work was carried out under a well-supervised Quality Assurance and Quality Control program.

The primary aim of the 2010 drill program was to delineate additional reserves at the Jaky and Manga targets, as well as targeting an additional target, the Mainty. A total of 8,952 meters of diamond drilling was completed in 46 holes. Selected drill holes were oriented with point load test and orientation measurements recorded.

Metallurgy

Various metallurgical scoping test programs have been completed since Q4 2009, covering physical and chemical preconcentration processes, acid and alkaline leaching (atmospheric and pressure), alkaline salt roasting and high definition mineralogical characterisation.

Mineralogical characterisation of several silicate samples has revealed a unique deportment of vanadium at Green Giant. Vanadium bearing minerals include clays, micas, oxides, and sulphides. The vanadium deportment for three recent silicate composites is summarized below.

Vanadium is spread across a range of mineral types, but is primarily found in Phlogophite (of various V tenors) Oxides and sulphides. Gangue minerals of note include quartz (generally 30-40% of sample mass) K-feldspar (10% of sample mass) and graphite (<10% of sample mass). Similar work completed in 2009 suggests that the oxide zone differs mineralogically in that a greater percentage of vanadium occurs in oxide minerals, with less in clays/micas and none in sulphides.

Leaching with sulphuric acid can achieve high vanadium extractions (up to 77%), but always at the expense of acid consumption and leach liquor quality. Acid consumptions have varied, but have generally been in the 3 to 500 kg/t range. The vigorous co-extraction of elements such as aluminium, magnesium, and iron is considered detrimental to downstream processes, and is also believed to be responsible for the high acid consumption.

Leaching with alkaline lixiviants such as soda ash (Na2CO3) and caustic soda (NaOH) has historically not resulted in high vanadium extractions. Pressure leaching with soda ash at Mintek (Phase 2) resulted in 30% to 40% vanadium extraction, which although lower than the acid-based leach results, was significantly higher than atmospheric alkaline leach extractions. The more selective alkaline lixiviants provide much cleaner leach liquors, with minimal co-extraction of problematic elements.

Early Phase 3 alkaline pressure leach tests observed an excess of micaceous material in leach residues, and it was postulated that the vanadium-bearing micas (phlogophite) might be more resistant to alkaline leaching. An oxidative pre-roast was introduced to the treatment process, with a resultant 25% increase in vanadium extraction rate. Comparing leach residues, the micaceous material was no longer present after pre-roasting. Further work is recommended to optimize conditions, but the most encouraging extraction results to date have been achieved on pre-roasted samples, using concentrated soda ash as a lixiviant at high temperature.

20 64.0 pre-roast – 1,100 °C / 3 h 105 30 71 50 220 4

 

As the project develops, further scoping work is essential to allow optimization of the roast and leach conditions for both silicate and oxide samples from all zones.

The metallurgical processes tested would undoubtedly benefit from higher head grades. It is therefore important that future metallurgical programs asses the influence of higher feed vanadium concentrations.

Resource Calculations

Effective November 30, 2010, AGP Mining Consultants estimated the mineral resources for the Green Giant property in Madagascar. The mineral deposits on this property have been divided into three separate zones, which are referred to as the Jaky, Manga, and Mainty deposits. This mineral resource estimate utilized approximately 18,832 m of diamond drill hole data from the 2008, 2009, and 2010 drill program and was supplemented by approximately 5,928 m of trench data from the 2008 and 2009 exploration programs. No additional work was carried out on the Jaky deposit; therefore, the resources are merely re-stated from the NI43-101 report dated June 18, 2010.

The Jaky, Manga, and Mainty resource estimate is comprised of Indicated and Inferred resources reported as vanadium pentoxide mineralization at a base case cutoff grade of 0.5% V2O5.

The method employed to select the base case cutoff grade was to consider the mineralogical characteristic, envisioned mining methods and comparable Vanadium projects worldwide. Futher work is required to more accurately determine the optimum economic cutoff grade, and this is recommended as part of the Preliminary Economic Assessment.

The vanadium deposits on the Green Giant property are split into two separate categories: oxide and primary. The following resource values were determined at a 0.5% V2O5 cutoff. Within the oxide and primary zones of the Jaky, Manga, and Mainty deposits, the total Indicated resource is 49.5 Mt at 0.693% V2O5, containing 756.3 Mlb of vanadium pentoxide. The total Inferred resource is 9.7 Mt at a grade of 0.632% V2O5, containing 134.5 Mlb of vanadium pentoxide. Since no additional work was conducted, mineral resources at the Green Giant Property were classified using logic consistent with the CIM definitions referred to in NI 43-101 guidelines. This independent mineral resource estimate and review conducted by AGP Mining Consultants supports the disclosure by our company of the mineral resource statement for the Jaky, Manga, and Mainty deposit dated November 30, 2010.

Future Programs

The property merits an exploration program consisting of exploratory and infill diamond drilling over vanadium-bearing zones identified by diamond drilling and trenching completed in 2008, 2009 and 2010. The goal of the program would be to upgrade inferred resources to indicate resources and to delineate additional indicated resources. A 6,000 meter, 31-hole drill program will employ one Boart Longyear diamond drill to verify additional mineralized zones previously confirmed through trenching and/or prospecting. This program is anticipated to begin in the 2nd quarter, following the conclusion of Madagascar’s rainy season.

Our company’s National Instrument 43-101 compliant resource estimate confirmed that a significant amount of vanadium has been discovered in the mineralized zones that account for a very small portion (2.55 kilometers) of the overall 18-kilometre trend of vanadium mineralization.

31



To date, 131 diamond drill holes and 151 trenches, totaling 38,643 meters have been completed on the property. Our management hopes to complete, but cannot guarantee, a NI 43-101 compliant preliminary economic assessment (scoping) study by the end of 2011.

The economic potential of the property rests upon the ability to extract vanadium using reasonable, potentially economic parameters. We are carrying out further larger sample tests and more complete mineralogy and metallurgical testing of vanadium ores to establish the technological and economic parameters of vanadium processing. The goal of this work is to identify a potentially economic processing method to extract vanadium from both the vanadium silicate and vanadium oxide types, which are known to exist on the property.

The expected cost of the recommended metallurgical program up to June 30, 2011 is $500,000.


Property Description and Location

The Sagar Property comprises 219 blocks of claims in the Territory of Nunavik, Province of Québec, Canada. The approximate center of exploration activity is circa 56°22’ N latitude and circa 68° 00’ W longitude. Details on the individual claims are available on-line at the Government of Québec’s Ministère des Resources Naturelles et de la Faune GESTIM website at https://gestim.mines.gouv.qc.ca. This property can be accessed by air.

The area comprising these claims is approximately 6,580 hectares. In this part of the Province of Québec, "map staking" predetermines claim outlines. Previously the map-staking grid, producing some of the small parcels, superimposes upon staked claims. There are no carried environmental liabilities on the property. All surface work requires provincial government permits, including camp construction permits. These have been acquired.

Agreement

On May 4, 2006, Virginia Mines Inc. ("Virginia") and our company entered into a binding agreement whereby our company was granted an option to acquire an undivided 75% participating interest in 200 claims constituting the Sagar Property located in the Labrador Trough in Northern Québec. Under the terms of this agreement, our company had the option to earn a 75% interest in the Sagar Property by issuing to Virginia 2,000,000 common shares and 2,000,000 common share purchase warrants of our company, each warrant entitling Virginia to acquire one common share of our company at a price of US$1.00 for a period of three years from the date of issue thereof, and by incurring total exploration expenditures of $2,000,000 on the Sagar Property by August 2008. Furthermore, Virginia had the option, at any time, to sell its remaining 25% participating interest in the Sagar Property in consideration for the issue to it of 1,000,000 common shares and 1,000,000 common share purchase warrants of our company. The common share purchase warrants shall be exercisable at a price equal to the 20-trading day weighted average closing price preceding the selling date, and shall be valid for a period of two years from the date of issuance. Upon our company earning a 100% interest in the Sagar Property, Virginia shall retain a 1.5% royalty (net smelter returns).

On June 2, 2006, we exercised our option to earn a 75% interest in the Sagar Property by issuing to Virginia 2,000,000 common shares and 2,000,000 common share purchase warrants of our company, each warrant entitling Virginia to acquire one common share of our company at a price of US$1.00 for a period of three years from the date of issue thereof, and by incurring total exploration expenditures of $2,000,000 on the Sagar Property by August 2008.

On February 19, 2007, Virginia exercised its option to sell its 25% remaining interest in the Sagar Property to our company and in connection therewith, our company issued to Virginia 1,000,000 common shares and 1,000,000 common share purchase warrants, with each such warrant being exercisable at a price of $1.24 for a period of two years from the date of issuance. As a result of this exercise, our company now holds a 100% interest in the Sagar Property, subject to a royalty equal to 1% of net smelter returns on certain claims, 0.5% on net smelter returns on other claims owned by Pierre Poisson and Joanne Jones (the "P&J Royalty") (see below), and a royalty in favor of Virginia equal to 1.5% of net smelter returns. Under the agreement with Virginia, our company must incur aggregate exploration expenditures of at least $2,000,000 on the Sagar Property on or before August 31, 2008. As at June 30, 2010, we incurred an aggregate of $7,363,663 of exploration expenditures on the Sagar Property.

The agreement with Virginia is subject to a royalty agreement dated May 27, 1992 (as amended by agreements dated May 10, 1993 and November 3, 1993, collectively, the "Virginia Royalty Agreement") between Virginia Gold Mines Inc. (predecessor to Virginia) and Pierre Poisson and Joanne Jones. Pursuant to the Virginia Royalty Agreement, Virginia acquired a 100% interest in the Sagar Property, subject to the P&J Royalty. Pursuant to the Virginia Royalty Agreement, Virginia had the right to buy back half of the 1% net smelter return royalty (0.5%) for $200,000, and half of the 0.5% net smelter return royalty (0.25%) for $100,000, such P&J Royalty repurchase rights are now held by the Company.

We are currently up to date with all obligations required to maintain the property in good standing.

Our company acquired a 100% undivided right, title and interest in and to 19 mining claims (0036315, 0036316, 0036317, 0036318, 0036319, 0036320, 0036321, 0036322, 0036323, 0036324, 0036325, 0036326, 0036327, 0030649, 0030650, 0030640, 0030638, 0030612, 0030613) held by Mr. Peter Ferderber, covering an area of approximately 64 hectares located in the Central Labrador Trough Region of Québec, 13 of which are contiguous to our company’s Sagar Property. This property can be accessed by air.

In consideration of our company receiving a 100% interest in these claims, subject to any net smelter return royalties, our company paid CAD$6,000, and issued 150,000 common shares and a warrant exercisable for 75,000 common shares, exercisable at $1.00 per share for a three year period from date of issuance.

Underlying net Smelter Royalty ("NSR")

Mr. Ferderber retains a 1% NSR on this property and agreed that our company shall have a first right of refusal to purchase the 1% NSR should Mr. Ferderber, at his sole discretion, elect to sell the royalty.

We are currently up to date with all obligations required to maintain the property in good standing.

Sagar Property and Ferderber Claims Highlights
The following are key features of the Sagar Property:

The geological setting of the property is the northwest trending Romanet Horst within the Labrador Trough. The significant mineral potential of this geological setting is well demonstrated by the abundance and diversity of uranium-gold showings, which range from veins to breccia’s to shear zones. There is also locally significant sedimentary-hosted copper mineralization. The most spectacular mineralization found to date is the 500 x 200 meter Mistamisk boulder field which contains 150 boulders that range up to 640 g/t gold and 4.11% uranium, with 70 tested boulders averaging 64.9g/t gold and 1.3% uranium. The boulders discovered within the Mistamisk boulder field range in length from 0.30 to 2.0 meters. Previous work has not determined the bedrock source of this boulder field.

Copper mineralization has been defined in a number of locations, the most significant being the Dehli-Pacific showing, which has reported 4.2% copper over 7.6 meters within a drill hole that intersected a shear zone along a sediment-gabbro contact.

Copper mineralization has been defined in a number of locations, the most significant being the Dehli-Pacific showing, which has reported 4.2% copper over 7.6 meters within a drill hole that intersected a shear zone along a sediment-gabbro contact.

Future Programs

In light of empirical observations collected during the course of 2007 exploration activities, other targets have been identified which could prove to be volumetrically more significant than the source of the Mistamisk Boulder Field. In order of priority, management believes future exploration on the Sagar Property should focus on the discovery of:

1. Gold and uranium mineralization at redox boundaries along major faults. This work should focus on the intersection between the Romanet fault and the reducing lithologies of the Dunphy and Lace Lake formations.

2. Unconformity associated polymetallic uranium-style mineralization at the Archean basement contact. The ‘Kilo’ soil anomaly should be targeted for this exploration due to the anomalous soil, RC, and DDH geochemistry, as well as the numerous coincident geophysical anomalies.

3. Iron-Oxide Copper Gold (IOCG) mineralization. This work should focus on the east-west structure bisecting the Romanet Horst. In particular, the area to the south-west of the Lac Plisse showing should be drill tested as it has coincident gravity and magnetic highs, and has an anomalous IOCG-related geochemical signature for RC, soil, and water geochemical data. Additionally, the DDH geochemistry and alteration mineralogy observed from holes in the ‘Alpha’ soil target area should be re-examined in the context of IOCG mineralization.

4. Source mineralization for the Mistamisk Boulder Field. The anomalous Alpha, Delta, and Kilo soil targets, as well as A, B, and E RC targets identified during the course of the 2007 exploration program should be examined to ascertain the source mineralization for the Mistamisk Boulder Field.

Other Expenses

Management anticipates spending approximately $250,000 - $300,000 in ongoing general and administrative expenses per quarter for the next twelve months. These general and administrative expenses will consist primarily of professional fees for the accounting, audit, legal and managerial work relating to our regulatory filings throughout the year, as well as transfer agent fees and general office expenses. However, the overall general and administration expenses will vary in direct proportion with the level of activity relating to future acquisitions and exploration programs.

Cautionary Note

Based on the nature of our business, we anticipate incurring operating losses in the foreseeable future. We base this expectation, in part, on the fact that very few mineral properties in the exploration stage ultimately develop into producing, profitable mines. Our future financial results are also uncertain due to a number of factors, some of which are outside our control. These factors include, but are not limited to:

  • our ability to raise additional funding;
  • the market price for gold;
  • the market price for uranium;
  • the market price for vanadium;
  • the results of our proposed exploration programs on our mineral properties; and
  • our ability to find joint venture partners for the development of our property interests.

If we are successful in completing an equity financing, existing shareholders will experience dilution of their interest in our company. In the event we are not successful in raising additional financing, we anticipate that we will not be able to proceed with our business plan. In such a case, we may decide to discontinue our current business plan and seek other business opportunities in the resource sector. Any business opportunity would require our management to perform diligence on possible acquisition of additional resource properties. Such due diligence would likely include purchase investigation costs such as professional fees by consulting geologists, preparation of geological reports on the properties, conducting title searches and travel costs for site visits. It is anticipated that such costs will not be sufficient to acquire any resource property and additional funds will be required to close any possible acquisition.

During this period, we will need to maintain our periodic filings with the appropriate regulatory authorities and will incur legal and accounting costs. In the event no other such opportunities are available and we cannot raise additional capital to sustain operations, we may be forced to discontinue business. We do not have any specific alternative business opportunities in mind and have not planned for any such contingency.

Due to our lack of operating history and present inability to generate revenues, our auditors have stated their opinion that there currently exists substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Capital Financing
  • From inception to June 30, 2004, we raised $59,750 through the issuance of 9,585,000 common shares.
  • For the year ended June 30, 2005, we did not raise any new financing.
  • For the year ended June 30, 2006, we raised $795,250 through the issuance of 2,750,000 common shares and 2,265,000 share purchase warrants.
  • For the year ended June 30, 2007, we raised $17,300,000 through the issuance of 34,600,000 common shares and 29,000,250 share purchase warrants.
  • For the year ended June 30, 2008, we did not raise any new financing.
  • For the year ended June 30, 2009, we raised $680,000 through the issuance of 6,800,000 common shares and 3,400,000 share purchase warrants.
  • For the year ended June 30, 2010, we raised $6,500,000 through the issuance of 21,666,667 common shares and 21,666,667 share purchase warrants.
  • For the six months ended December 31, 2010, we raised $79,200 through the exercise of 376,500 share purchase warrants.

Going forward, we anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of equity financings from the sale of our common stock. However, our company cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of shares of common stock for additional phases of exploration. Our management believes that debt financing will not be an alternative for funding additional phases of exploration. We do not have any arrangements in place for any future equity financing.

Results of Operations

We have had no operating revenues from inception on March 1, 2004 through to the period ended December 31, 2010. Our activities have been financed from the proceeds of securities subscriptions. From inception, on March 1, 2004, to December 31, 2010, we raised net aggregate proceeds of $24,364,597 from private offerings of our securities.

For the period from inception, March 1, 2004, to December 31, 2010, we incurred a loss before income taxes of $49,491,070. Expenses included $17,405,678 in mineral property and exploration costs. These costs charged to operations were for the acquisition of the Madagascar properties, Sagar Properties in Canada and other abandoned properties. This amount includes ancillary costs related to the mineral properties. We also incurred $2,999,938 in professional fees since inception. In addition, since inception, we have recorded general and administrative expenses of $4,103,328 which includes rental costs, travel and office expenses; stock based compensation valued at $19,037,563, a foreign exchange translation gain of $764,752, donated services and expenses of $18,750 and total other income (including interest) of $948,750.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As at December 31, 2010, we had cash on hand of $557,679 and a working capital of $634,746.

We hold a significant portion of cash reserves in Canadian dollars. Due to foreign exchange rate fluctuations, the value of these Canadian dollar reserves can result in translation gains or losses in US dollar terms. If there was to be a significant decline in the Canadian dollar versus the US Dollar the US dollar cash position would also significantly decline. If the US Dollar significantly declines relative to the Canadian dollar our quoted US dollar cash position would also significantly decline. We have not entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations. Such foreign exchange declines could cause us to experience losses.

There are no assurances that we will be able to achieve further sales of common stock or any other form of additional financing. If our company is unable to achieve the financing necessary to continue the plan of operations, then we will not be able to continue our exploration and our venture will fail.

Issuances of Securities

We have funded our business to date from sales of our securities. During the year ended June 30, 2009, we closed a private placement comprising of 6,800,000 units for gross proceeds of $680,000. Each unit consists of one share of common stock and one-half share purchase warrant. Each warrant is exercisable at $0.20 per share for a period of two years from date of issuance. In connection with the private placement, we paid 408,000 shares of common stock and 408,000 broker warrants valued at $0.10 per unit as commission. Each broker warrant is exercisable at $0.10 per share for a period of 2 years from the date of issuance. All of these shares were issued to non-US investors pursuant to the exemption provided by Regulation S under the Securities Act for a transaction not involving a public offering.

The offer and sale of all shares of our common stock and warrants listed above were affected in reliance on the exemptions for sales of securities not involving a public offering, as set forth in Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act. The Investor acknowledged the following: Subscriber is not a United States Person, nor is the Subscriber acquiring the shares of our common stock and warrants directly or indirectly for the account or benefit of a United States Person. None of the funds used by the Subscriber to purchase the shares of our common stock and warrants have been obtained from United States Persons. For purposes of this Agreement, "United States Person" within the meaning of U.S. tax laws, means a citizen or resident of the United States, any former U.S. citizen subject to Section 877 of the Internal Revenue Code, any corporation, or partnership organized or existing under the laws of the United States of America or any state, jurisdiction, territory or possession thereof and any estate or trust the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax irrespective of its source, and within the meaning of U.S. securities laws, as defined in Rule 902(o) of Regulation S, means: (i) any natural person resident in the United States; (ii) any partnership or corporation organized or incorporated under the laws of the United States; (iii) any estate of which any executor or administrator is a U.S. person; (iv) any trust of which any trustee is a U.S. person; (v) any agency or branch of a foreign entity located in the United States; (vi) any non-discretionary account or similar account (other than an estate or trust) held by a dealer or other fiduciary for the benefit or account of a U.S. person; (vii) any discretionary account or similar account (other than an estate or trust) held by a dealer or other fiduciary organized, incorporated, or (if an individual) resident in the United States; and (viii) any partnership or corporation if organized under the laws of any foreign jurisdiction, and formed by a U.S. person principally for the purpose of investing in securities not registered under the Securities Act, unless it is organized or incorporated, and owned, by accredited investors (as defined in Rule 501(a)) who are not natural persons, estates or trusts.

On January 27, 2009, we issued 2,500,000 common shares to directors, officers and consultants as compensation for services rendered at a fair value of $250,000. The shares were valued at an estimated fair market value of $0.10 per share based on the prevailing quoted market price on the date of issue.

On April 21, 2009, we issued 1,600,000 common shares to directors, officers and consultants as compensation for services rendered at a fair value of $128,000. The shares were valued at an estimated fair market value of $0.08 per share based on the prevailing quoted market price on the date of issue.

On June 24, 2009, we issued 750,000 common shares and 375,000 share purchase warrants valued at $131,924 to a new director and to a special advisory member to the Board of Directors as incentive bonus for their current and future services. The share purchase warrants issued is exercisable at $0.20 for a period of two from the date of issuance.

These shares were issued in reliance on the exemption for sales of securities not involving a public offering as set forth in Rule 506 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933 and in Section 4(2) and Section 4(6) of the Securities Act of 1933.

On August 17, 2009, we issued 2,500,000 common shares to directors, officers and consultants as 2009 Bonus Compensation Shares for their services to our company. The foregoing securities were exempt from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 506 of Regulation D thereunder and Regulation S Securities Act of 1933. Subsequent to the issuance, we cancelled 250,000 of our common shares to a consultant.

On October 5, 2009, our company issued 500,000 common shares and 250,000 share purchase warrants to a director as an incentive bonus compensation. The foregoing securities are exempt from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Regulation S Securities Act of 1933.

On March 15, 2010, our company closed a private placement of 21,666,667 units for gross proceeds of $6,500,000 (the "2010 Offering"). Each unit consists of one common share and one common share purchase warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share at an exercise price of $0.50 for a period of three years following the later of March 15, 2010 and the date of listing on the TSX-V, which occurred on May 5, 2010 under the trading symbol EGZ. The expiry of the warrants may be accelerated by our company if the common shares trade at a price greater than $0.75 at any time after 9 months from March 15, 2010 for a period of 21 consecutive days on the OTC Bulletin Board ("OTCBB") or the TSX-V, provided that our company has filed, and had declared effective, the Registration Statement (as defined below).

The units were issued together with listing and filing rights, which rights could have been converted into an escalating number of common shares if the Company did not complete its TSX-V Listing or file a resale registration statement for the securities issued in connection with the 2010 Offering (the "Registration Statement") by certain specific dates. The Company was listed on the TSX-V on May 5, 2010 and its Registration Statement was declared effectiveby the Securities Exchange Commission on November 10, 2010, Therefore the rights expired.

As consideration for their services in connection with the brokered offerings, Clarus Securities Inc. and Byron Securities Limited (together, the "Agents") were (i) paid a cash commission of 6% of the gross proceeds of the brokered offerings, (ii) issued 870,000 Class A broker warrants, and (iii) issued 870,000 Class B broker warrants. Each Class A broker warrant entitles the holder to acquire one common share at an exercise price of US$0.30 until March 15, 2012. Each Class B broker warrant entitles the holder to acquire one common share at an exercise price of US$0.50 at any time after a corresponding number of Class A broker warrants have been exercised by the Agent and on or before May 5, 2013. In addition, Clarus was issued 400,000 common shares and 400,000 Class C broker warrants for certain advisory services in connection with the brokered offerings. Each Class C broker warrant entitles the holder to acquire one common share at an exercise price of US$0.30 until March 15, 2013.

All of these shares were issued to non-US investors pursuant to the exemption provided by Section 4 (2) under the Securities Act for a transaction not involving a public offering. The offer and sale of such shares of our common stock were effected in reliance on the exemptions for sales of securities not involving a public offering, as set forth in Rule 506 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") and in Section 4(2) of the U.S. Securities Act, based on the following: (a) the investors confirmed to us that they were "accredited investors," as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act and had such background, education and experience in financial and business matters as to be able to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the securities; (b) there was no public offering or general solicitation with respect to the offering; (c) the investors were provided with certain disclosure materials and all other information requested with respect to our company; (d) the investors acknowledged that all securities being purchased were "restricted securities" for purposes of the Securities Act, and agreed to transfer such securities only in a transaction registered under the Securities Act or exempt from registration under the Securities Act; and (e) a legend was placed on the certificates representing each such security stating that it was restricted and could only be transferred if subsequent registered under the Securities Act or transferred in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act.

Further, we anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock. However, we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding for additional phases of exploration. We currently believe that debt financing will not be an alternative for funding additional phases of exploration. We do not have any arrangements in place for any future equity financing.

There are no assurances that we will be able to achieve further sales of our common stock or any other form of additional financing. If we are unable to achieve the financing necessary to continue our plan of operations, then we will not be able to continue our exploration and our venture will fail.

Foreign currencies

We hold a significant portion of our cash reserves in Canadian dollars. Due to foreign exchange rate fluctuations, the value of these Canadian dollar reserves can result in either translation gains or losses in US dollar terms. If the US Dollar significantly declines relative to the Canadian dollar our quoted US dollar cash position would also significantly decline. We have not entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations. Such foreign exchange declines could cause us to experience losses.

Off-balance sheet arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements including arrangements that would affect the liquidity, capital resources, market risk support and credit risk support or other benefits.

ITEM 3. – QUANTITATIVE & QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We do not hold any derivative instruments and do not engage in any hedging activities. Most of our activity is the development and mining of our mining claim.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Our management team, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), as of the last day of the fiscal period covered by this report, December 31, 2010. The term disclosure controls and procedures means our controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2010.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2010, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are currently not involved in any litigation that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of our company or any of our subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting our company, our common stock, any of our subsidiaries or of our companies or our subsidiaries' officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect.

ITEM 1A. – RISK FACTORS

Our business is subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the risks and uncertainties described below. If any of the risks described below, or elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, or the Company’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), were to occur, our financial condition and results of operations could suffer and the trading price of our common stock could decline. Additionally, if other risks not presently known to us, or that we do not currently believe to be significant, occur or become significant, our financial condition and results of operations could suffer and the trading price of our common stock could decline.

The report of our independent registered public accounting firm contains explanatory language that substantial doubt exists about our ability to continue as a going concern.

The independent auditor’s report on our financial statements contains explanatory language that substantial doubt exists about our ability to continue as a going concern. Due to our lack of operating history and present inability to generate revenues, we have sustained operating losses since our inception. Since our inception to December 31, 2010, we had accumulated net losses of $49,491,070. If we are unable to obtain sufficient financing in the near term or achieve profitability, then we would, in all likelihood, experience severe liquidity problems and may have to curtail our operations. If we curtail our operations, we may be placed into bankruptcy or undergo liquidation, the result of which will adversely affect the value of our common shares.

Our common shares have been subject to penny stock regulation.

Our common shares have been subject to the provisions of Section 15(g) and Rule 15g-9 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), commonly referred to as the "penny stock" rule. Section 15(g) sets forth certain requirements for transactions in penny stocks and Rule 15g-9(d)(1) incorporates the definition of penny stock as that used in Rule 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act. The Commission generally defines penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price less than US$5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Rule 3a51-1 provides that any equity security is considered to be penny stock unless that security is: registered and traded on a national securities exchange meeting specified criteria set by the Commission; issued by a registered investment company; excluded from the definition on the basis of price (at least US$5.00 per share) or the registrant’s net tangible assets; or exempted from the definition by the Commission. If our common shares are deemed to be "penny stock", trading in common shares will be subject to additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell penny stock to persons other than established customers and accredited investors.

Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. ("FINRA") sales practice requirements may also limit a shareholder’s ability to buy and sell our common shares.

In addition to the "penny stock" rules described above, FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common shares, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.

 

39



We may not have access to sufficient capital to pursue our business and therefore would be unable to achieve our planned future growth.

We intend to pursue a growth strategy that includes development of our company’s business plan. Currently we have limited capital, which is insufficient to pursue our plans for development and growth. Our ability to implement our exploration plans will depend primarily on our ability to obtain additional private or public equity or debt financing. Such financing may not be available at all, or we may be unable to locate and secure additional capital on terms and conditions that are acceptable to us. Financing exploration plans through equity financing may have a dilutive effect on our common shares. Our failure to obtain additional capital will have a material adverse effect on our business.

We do not intend to pay dividends.

We do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common shares in the foreseeable future. We may not have sufficient funds to legally pay dividends. Even if funds are legally available to pay dividends, we may nevertheless decide in our sole discretion not to pay dividends. The declaration, payment and amount of any future dividends will be made at the discretion of our board of directors, and will depend upon, among other things, the results of our operations, cash flows and financial condition, operating and capital requirements, and other factors our board of directors may consider relevant. There is no assurance that we will pay any dividends in the future, and, if dividends are paid, there is no assurance with respect to the amount of any such dividend.

Because we are quoted on the OTCBB instead of a national securities exchange in the United States, our U.S. investors may have more difficulty selling their stock or experience negative volatility on the market price of our stock in the United States.

Our common shares are currently listed for trading in Canada on the TSX-V. In the United States, our common shares are currently quoted on the OTCBB. The OTCBB is often highly illiquid, in part because it does not have a national quotation system by which potential investors can follow the market price of shares except through information received and generated by a limited number of broker-dealers that make markets in particular stocks. There is a greater chance of volatility for securities that trade on the OTCBB as compared to a national securities exchange in the United States, such as the New York Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ Stock Market or the NYSE Amex. This volatility may be caused by a variety of factors, including the lack of readily available price quotations, the absence of consistent administrative supervision of bid and ask quotations, lower trading volume, and market conditions. U.S. investors in our common shares may experience high fluctuations in the market price and volume of the trading market for our securities. These fluctuations, when they occur, have a negative effect on the market price for our common shares. Accordingly, our U.S. shareholders may not be able to realize a fair price from their shares when they determine to sell them or may have to hold them for a substantial period of time until the market for our common shares improves. In addition our common shares are listed on the Frankfurt Exchange under the symbol YE5.

As a public company we are subject to complex legal and accounting requirements that will require us to incur significant expenses and will expose us to risk of non-compliance.

As a public company, we are subject to numerous legal and accounting requirements that do not apply to private companies. The cost of compliance with many of these requirements is material, not only in absolute terms but, more importantly, in relation to the overall scope of the operations of a small company. Our relative inexperience with these requirements may increase the cost of compliance and may also increase the risk that we will fail to comply. Failure to comply with these requirements can have numerous adverse consequences including, but not limited to, our inability to file required periodic reports on a timely basis, loss of market confidence, delisting of our securities and/or governmental or private actions against us. We cannot assure you that we will be able to comply with all of these requirements or that the cost of such compliance will not prove to be a substantial competitive disadvantage vis-à-vis our privately held and larger public competitors.

Failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "Sarbanes-Oxley Act") could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.

If we fail to comply with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act regarding internal control over financial reporting or to remedy any material weaknesses in our internal controls that we may identify, such failure could result in material misstatements in our financial statements, cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and have a negative effect on the trading price of our common shares.

Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and current SEC regulations, we are required to prepare assessments regarding internal controls over financial reporting. In connection with our on-going assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, we may discover "material weaknesses" in our internal controls as defined in standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or the PCAOB. A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. The PCAOB defines "significant deficiency" as a deficiency that results in more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected.

 

40


 

In the event that a material weakness is identified, we will employ qualified personnel and adopt and implement policies and procedures to address any material weaknesses that we identify. However, the process of designing and implementing effective internal controls is a continuous effort that requires us to anticipate and react to changes in our business and the economic and regulatory environments and to expend significant resources to maintain a system of internal controls that is adequate to satisfy our reporting obligations as a public company. We cannot assure you that the measures we will take will remediate any material weaknesses that we may identify or that we will implement and maintain adequate controls over our financial process and reporting in the future.

Any failure to complete our assessment of our internal control over financial reporting, to remediate any material weaknesses that we may identify or to implement new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could harm our operating results, cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations or result in material misstatements in our financial statements. Any such failure could also adversely affect the results of the periodic management evaluations of our internal controls. Inadequate internal controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our common shares.

The price at which you purchase our common shares may not be indicative of the price that will prevail in the trading market. You may be unable to sell your common shares at or above your purchase price, which may result in substantial losses to you. The market price for our common shares is particularly volatile given our status as a relatively unknown company with a small and thinly traded public float, limited operating history and lack of profits which could lead to wide fluctuations in our share price.

The market for our common shares is characterized by significant price volatility when compared to seasoned issuers, and we expect that our share price will continue to be more volatile than a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future. The volatility in our share price is attributable to a number of factors. First, as noted above, our common shares are sporadically and thinly traded. As a consequence of this lack of liquidity, the trading of relatively small quantities of shares by our shareholders may disproportionately influence the price of those shares in either direction. The price for our shares could, for example, decline precipitously in the event that a large number of our common shares are sold on the market without commensurate demand, as compared to a seasoned issuer which could better absorb those sales without adverse impact on its share price. Secondly, we are a speculative or "risky" investment due to our limited operating history and lack of profits to date, and uncertainty of future market acceptance for our potential products. As a consequence of this enhanced risk, more risk-adverse investors may, under the fear of losing all or most of their investment in the event of negative news or lack of progress, be more inclined to sell their shares on the market more quickly and at greater discounts than would be the case with the stock of a seasoned issuer. Many of these factors are beyond our control and may decrease the market price of our common shares, regardless of our operating performance. We cannot make any predictions or projections as to what the prevailing market price for our common shares will be at any time, including as to whether our common shares will sustain their current market prices, or as to what effect that the sale of shares or the availability of common shares for sale at any time will have on the prevailing market price.

Shareholders should be aware that, according to SEC Release No. 34-29093, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (1) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (2) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (3) boiler room practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (4) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differential and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (5) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequent investor losses. Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market. Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities. The occurrence of these patterns or practices could increase the volatility of our share price.

Volatility in our common share price may subject us to securities litigation, thereby diverting our resources that may have a material effect on our profitability and results of operations.

As discussed in the preceding risk factors, the market for our common shares is characterized by significant price volatility when compared to seasoned issuers, and we expect that our share price will continue to be more volatile than a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future. In the past, plaintiffs have often initiated securities class action litigation against a company following periods of volatility in the market price of its securities. We may in the future be the target of similar litigation. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and liabilities and could divert management’s attention and resources.

Should we lose the services of our key executives, our financial condition and proposed expansion may be negatively impacted.

We depend on the continued contributions of our executive officers to work effectively as a team, to execute our business strategy and to manage our business. The loss of key personnel, or their failure to work effectively, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Specifically, we rely J.A. Kirk McKinnon, our Chief Executive Officer, Julie A. Lee Harrs, our President and Chief Operating Officer, and Richard E. Schler, our Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer. We do not maintain key man life insurance on Julie A. Lee Harrs or Richard E. Schler. Should we lose either or both of their services and we are unable to replace their services with equally competent and experienced personnel, our operational goals and strategies may be adversely affected, which will negatively affect our potential revenues.

Minnesota law and our articles of incorporation protect our directors from certain types of lawsuits, which could make it difficult for us to recover damages from them in the event of a lawsuit.

Minnesota law provides that our directors will not be liable to our company or to our stockholders for monetary damages for all but certain types of conduct as directors. Our articles of incorporation require us to indemnify our directors and officers against all damages incurred in connection with our business to the fullest extent provided or allowed by law. The exculpation provisions may have the effect of preventing stockholders from recovering damages against our directors caused by their negligence, poor judgment or other circumstances. The indemnification provisions may require our company to use its assets to defend our directors and officers against claims, including claims arising out of their negligence, poor judgment, or other circumstances.

We have not identified any mineral reserves or resources and due to the speculative nature of mineral property exploration, there is substantial risk that no commercially exploitable minerals will be found and our business will fail.

Exploration for minerals is a speculative venture involving substantial risk. We cannot provide investors with any assurance that our claims and properties contain commercially exploitable reserves. The exploration work that we intend to conduct on our claims or properties may not result in the discovery of commercial quantities of uranium, gold or other minerals. Problems such as unusual and unexpected rock formations and other conditions are involved in mineral exploration and often result in unsuccessful exploration efforts. In such a case, we would be unable to complete our business plan.

We are a mineral exploration company with a limited operating history and expect to incur operating losses for the foreseeable future.

We are a mineral exploration company. We have never earned any revenues and we have never been profitable. Prior to completing exploration on our claims, we may incur increased operating expenses without realizing any revenues from those claims. There are numerous difficulties normally encountered by mineral exploration companies, and these companies experience a high rate of failure. The likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays encountered in connection with the exploration of the mineral properties that we plan to undertake. These potential problems include, but are not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to exploration and additional costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates. We have no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that our business will prove successful, and we can provide no assurance to investors that we will generate any operating revenues or ever achieve profitable operations.

Because of the speculative nature of mineral property exploration, there is substantial risk that no commercially exploitable minerals will be found and our business will fail.

In such a case, we would be unable to complete our business plan.

Because of the inherent dangers involved in mineral exploration, there is a risk that we may incur liability or damages as we conduct our business.

The search for valuable minerals involves numerous hazards. As a result, we may become subject to liability for such hazards, including pollution, cave-ins and other hazards against which we cannot, or may elect not, to insure. We currently have no such insurance, but our management intends to periodically review the availability of commercially reasonable insurance coverage. If a hazard were to occur, the costs of rectifying the hazard may exceed our asset value and cause us to liquidate all our assets.

If we confirm commercial concentrations of vanadium, uranium, gold or other minerals on our claims and interests, we can provide no assurance that we will be able to successfully bring those claims or interests into commercial production.

If our exploration programs are successful in confirming deposits of commercial tonnage and grade, we will require significant additional funds in order to place the claims and interests into commercial production. This may occur for a number of reasons, including because of regulatory or permitting difficulties, because we are unable to obtain any adequate funds or because we cannot obtain such funds on terms that we consider economically feasible.

Because access to most of our properties is often restricted by inclement weather, our exploration programs are likely to experience delays.

Access to most of the properties underlying our claims and interests is restricted due to their remote locations and because of weather conditions. Most of these properties are only accessible by air. As a result, any attempts to visit, test, or explore the property are generally limited to those periods when weather permits such activities. These limitations can result in significant delays in exploration efforts, as well as mining and production efforts in the event that commercial amounts of minerals are found. This could cause our business to fail.

As we undertake exploration of our claims and interests, we will be subject to the compliance of government regulation that may increase the anticipated time and cost of our exploration program.

There are several governmental regulations that materially restrict the exploration of minerals. We will be subject to the mining laws and regulations in force in the jurisdictions where our claims are located, and these laws and regulations may change over time. In order to comply with these regulations, we may be required to obtain work permits, post bonds and perform remediation work for any physical disturbance to land. While our planned budget for exploration programs includes a contingency for regulatory compliance, there is a risk that new regulations could increase our costs of doing business and prevent us from carrying out our exploration program, or that the budgeted amounts are inadequate.

Our operations are subject to strict environmental regulations, which result in added costs of operations and operational delays.

Our operations are subject to environmental regulations, which could result in additional costs and operational delays. All phases of our operations are subject to environmental regulation. Environmental legislation is evolving in some countries and jurisdictions in a manner that may require stricter standards, and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringer environmental assessments of proposed projects, and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors, and employees. There is no assurance that any future changes in environmental regulation will not negatively affect our projects.

We have no insurance for environmental problems.

Insurance against environmental risks, including potential liability for pollution or other hazards as a result of the disposal of waste products occurring from exploration and production, has not been available generally in the mining industry. We have no insurance coverage for most environmental risks. In the event of a problem, the payment of environmental liabilities and costs would reduce the funds available to us for future operations. If we are unable to fund fully the cost of remedying an environmental problem, we might be required to enter into an interim compliance measure pending completion of the required remedy.

 

43


Due to external market factors in the mining business, we may not be able to market any minerals that may be found.

The mining industry, in general, is intensely competitive. Even if commercial quantities of minerals are discovered, we can provide no assurance to investors that a ready market will exist for the sale of these minerals. Numerous factors beyond our control may affect the marketability of any substances discovered. These factors include market fluctuations, the proximity and capacity of markets and processing equipment, and government regulations, including regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, mineral importing and exporting and environmental protection. The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but any combination of these factors may result in our not receiving an adequate return on invested capital.

Our performance may be subject to fluctuations in market prices of vanadium, uranium, gold and other minerals.

The profitability of a mineral exploration project could be significantly affected by changes in the market price of the relevant minerals. Recently, the market price of uranium has increased due in large measure to projections as to the number of new nuclear energy plants that will be constructed in China, the United States and other jurisdictions. With respect to the market prices of gold, mine production and the willingness of third parties such as central banks to sell or lease gold affects the supply of gold. Demand for gold can also be influenced by economic conditions, attractiveness as an investment vehicle and the relative strength of the U.S. dollar and local investment currencies. A number of other factors affect the market prices for other minerals. The aggregate effect of the factors affecting the prices of various minerals is impossible to predict with accuracy. Fluctuations in mineral prices may adversely affect the value of any mineral discoveries made on the properties with which we are involved, which may in turn affect the market price and liquidity of our common shares and our ability to pursue and implement our business plan. In addition, the price of vanadium has in the past fluctuated significantly on a month-to-month and year-to-year basis.

Because from time to time we hold a significant portion of our cash reserves in Canadian dollars, we may experience losses due to foreign exchange translations.

From time to time we hold a significant portion of our cash reserves in Canadian dollars. Due to foreign exchange rate fluctuations, the value of these Canadian dollar reserves can result in translation gains or losses in U.S. dollar terms. If there was to be a significant decline in the Canadian dollar versus the U.S. dollar, our U.S. dollar cash position would also significantly decline. . If the US Dollar significantly declines relative to the Canadian dollar our quoted US dollar cash position would also significantly decline. We have not entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations. Such foreign exchange declines could cause us to experience losses.

Until we can validate otherwise, the properties described below have no known mineral reserves of any kind and we are planning programs that are exploratory in nature. Further details regarding the Company’s properties, although not incorporated by reference, including the comprehensive geological report prepared in compliance with Canada’s National Instrument 43-101 on the Company’s Sagar Property in Northern Québec can be found on the Company’s website at http://www.energizerresources.com or within the Company’s filings on Sedar at http://www.sedar.com. The comprehensive geological report prepared in compliance with Canada’s National Instrument 43-101 on the Company’s Green Giant Property located in Madagascar has recently been filed within the Company’s filings on Sedar at http://www.sedar.com but such filing is not incorporated into this annual report.

Climate change and related regulatory responses may impact our business.

Climate change as a result of emissions of greenhouse gases is a significant topic of discussion and may generate government regulatory responses in the near future. It is impracticable to predict with any certainty the impact of climate change on our business or the regulatory responses to it, although we recognize that they could be significant. However, it is too soon for us to predict with any certainty the ultimate impact, either directionally or quantitatively, of climate change and related regulatory responses.

To the extent that climate change increases the risk of natural disasters or other disruptive events in the areas in which we operate, we could be harmed. While we maintain business recovery plans that are intended to allow us to recover from natural disasters or other events that can be disruptive to our business, our plans may not fully protect us from all such disasters or events.

 

44



Compliance with changing regulation of corporate governance and public disclosure will result in additional expenses and pose challenges for our management.

Changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure, including the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and SEC regulations, have created uncertainty for public companies and significantly increased the costs and risks associated with accessing the U.S. public markets. Our management team will need to devote significant time and financial resources to comply with both existing and evolving standards for public companies, which will lead to increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention from revenue generating activities to compliance activities.

SHOULD ONE OR MORE OF THE FOREGOING RISKS OR UNCERTAINTIES MATERIALIZE, OR SHOULD THE UNDERLYING ASSUMPTIONS PROVE INCORRECT, ACTUAL RESULTS MAY DIFFER SIGNIFICANTLY FROM THOSE ANTICIPATED, BELIEVED, ESTIMATED, EXPECTED, INTENDED OR PLANNED.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

On October 21, 2010, the Company issued 1,100,000 stock options to a new director of the Company valued at $237,710. The stock options were valued using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions: risk free interest rate - 1.54%; expected volatility - 172%; dividend yield - NIL; and expected life - 4 years.
