Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(An Exploration Stage Company)

(Unaudited)
 
NOTE 1 - Organization and Summary
 
Organization
 
Ruby Creek Resources, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the Province of British Columbia on May 3, 2006.  The Company is an Exploration Stage Company.  The Company’s principal business is the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties.  
 
 Effective January 29, 2009, the Company changed its jurisdiction from the Province of British Columbia to the State of Nevada.  Effective the same date, the Company's authorized capital was changed from an unlimited number of common shares without par value to 500,000,000 common shares with a par value of $0.001 per share. Tanzania Ruby Creek Limited (TzRC) was formed in December 2011 (100% owned by the Company), Ruby Creek Resources (Tanzania) Limited (“RCRTz) was incorporated on May 21, 2010 in Tanzania, (a joint venture 70% owned by the Company), and Ruby Creek Gold (Tanzania) Limited (99% owned by the Company) and Ruby Creek Diamonds Limited (100% owned by the Company) were formed on August 10, 2011.  Gold Standard (Tanzania) Limited (95% owned by the Company), was acquired on November 29, 2011 in the transaction described in Note 3e. 

Going Concern
 
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.  The Company is in the exploration stage and has not generated revenues since inception.  The Company has incurred significant losses from inception through November 30, 2011 of approximately $$9,900,000, raising substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.  The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain necessary financing to settle outstanding debts, fund ongoing operating losses and to determine the existence, discovery and successful exploitation of economically recoverable mineral reserves on its resource properties and ultimately on the attainment of future profitable operations.  The Company has received limited amounts of private equity and/or convertible debt financing and is currently offering units of its equity securities (see Note 8). While the Company plans to raise funds on this private placement, and management believes it has made significant progress on its plan of operations, additional working capital and capital funds will be required to finance the Company’s operations until commercial operations commence and positive cash flow can be achieved.  Management believes that additional financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company. However, there can be no assurance of this, nor that commercial operations will be reached.  These 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.
 
Basis of Presentation - Unaudited Interim Financial Statements
 
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("US GAAP") for interim financial information and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and on the same basis as the annual audited consolidated financial statements.    
 
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been   omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.  However, except as disclosed herein, there has been no material change in the information disclosed in the notes to the financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2011 included in the Company's annual report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The interim unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with those financial statements included in the Form 10-K which was filed with the SEC on December 14, 2011.  In the opinion of Management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the period presented, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, have been made.  Operating results for the three months ended November 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending August 31, 2012.

NOTE 3 - Mineral Properties, continued

Upon issuance and receipt of the first mining license, not yet received, the Company will be required to make (i) an additional payment of $400,000 to Douglas Lake (this amount has been classified as a current liability in the accompanying balance sheet); and (ii) three additional payments of $750,000 within 12, 24 months and 36 months of that date. The Company has the option to satisfy the final $750,000 payment by issuing restricted shares of its common stock based upon the Volume Weighted Average Price (“VWAP”) for the 10 days immediately preceding the payment date.  For financial reporting purposes, the series of payments due after one year as of the transaction date in the gross amount of $2,250,000 were recorded at their fair value of $1,694,042 determined utilizing a discount rate of 12% per annum. 
 
 Additionally, the agreement provides that within 12 months of closing, the Company had the option to increase its interest to 75 percent of the 125 square kilometers by making an additional $1,000,000 payment to Douglas Lake. In all cases, the original owner of the four prospecting licenses, Mr. Mkuvia Maita (“Maita”), retains a 3% Net Smelter Royalty as per the original agreement between Maita and Douglas Lake.  
 
 (b)      On March 7, 2010, the Company entered into an agreement for the creation of a Tanzanian joint venture company (“RCRTz”) formed for the ownership and management of the 125 square kilometer related to the property acquired under 3(a) above. The joint venture company is owned 70% by the Company, 25% by Douglas Lake and 5% by Maita (Maita’s interest subject to obtaining a mining license on this property), the original prospecting license owner. The joint venture company was officially formed in Tanzania on May 21, 2010. RCRTz will be the operating company holding the mineral rights to the aforementioned 125 square kilometers of land relating as well as the additional 255 sq km acquired on June 16, 2010 as described in 4(c) below. A second Joint Venture Agreement (the “JVA”) was entered into by the parties with respect to the additional 255 sq km whereby RCRTz assumed control of the permitting and licensing processes. The JVA provides that Maita’s 5% interest in the entire project shall vest when RCRTz obtains a mining license over a portion of the area covered by the prospecting licenses relating to the 380 sq km of the Project and a retention license over the balance for the area.
 
(c)      Effective on June 16, 2010, the Company acquired the exclusive mineral and mining rights to the remaining 255 square kilometers of the Mkuvia property in Tanzania from Douglas Lake.  As consideration, the Company is required to pay Douglas Lake $6,000,000 over a three-year period in a combination of cash and common shares. The Company has paid $250,000 and issued 4,000,000 common shares of the Company with a fair value of $2,120,000 at $0.53 per share, which was due within 30 days of receipt of governmental Certificates of Acknowledgement. For contractual purposes these 4,000,000 shares had a value of $3,200,000, based upon an agreed upon value of $0.80 per share. In addition $450,000 was due on June 1, 2011; $1,000,000 is due on June 1, 2012; and $1,000,000 is due on June 1 2013. An additional $100,000 due to Douglas Lake is being retained to satisfy Douglas Lake’s financial obligation to deliver an environmental study and an initial mining license. The Company has the option to satisfy the final $1,000,000 payment due on June 1, 2013 by issuing shares of its common stock based upon the Volume Weighted Average Price (“VWAP”) for the 20 days immediately preceding the payment date.  Scheduled cash payments can be accelerated in the event of future equity financing or obtaining additional mining licenses. The purchase agreement also provided that the Company had the option to increase its interest from the current 70% to 75% of the Project by making an additional $1,000,000 payment to Douglas Lake by June 1, 2011.
 
The series of future payments in the gross amount of $2,450,000 were recorded at their fair value of $1,882,127 determined utilizing a discount rate of 12% per annum which resulted in a discount of $567,872. Interest expense for the three months ended November 31, 2011and 2010 includes amortization of $52,293 and $58,874, respectively, of this debt discount. This results in a remaining net balance of these future payments as of November 30, 2011 of $2,228,063 (August 31, 2011: $2,175,170).  Current liabilities include $1,364,340 and $450,000 at August 31, 2011: $1,364,340 and $450,000), respectively.  As a result of the transactions above the Company has a 70% interest in the mineral and mining rights to the entire 380 sq km of the Mkuvia property, and has the option to increase its interest from 70% to 75% for $2,000,000.
 
It has come to the Company’s attention that Douglas Lake and Maita have been permitting a third party to continuously conduct prospecting activities and allegedly conveyed certain of the aforementioned prospecting licenses and joint venture rights acquired as part of the Mkuvia transactions to third parties, at a date subsequent to

NOTE 3 - Mineral Properties, continued

the date of the aforementioned transactions, in violation of the Company’s ownership of exclusive mineral and mining rights.  Regarding this matter, Douglas Lake has disclosed in its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended November 30, 2011 filed with the SEC on January 17, 2012, that it “is currently investigating through local counsel the registration particulars of prospecting licenses numbered 5664/2009 and 5669/2009, which form a part of the current Joint Venture Company project [which refers to the joint venture with Ruby Creek]. This investigation relates to the reported registration of prospecting licenses numbered 5664/2009 and 5669/2009 to a third party without the Company’s (Douglas Lake’s) approval, in unclear circumstances.”  As a consequence of the foregoing, the Company has not made the $450,000 payment originally due on June 1, 2011 to Douglas Lake pursuant to this June 16, 2010 agreement, nor has it issued 75,000 shares to Maita pursuant to his advisory agreement (see Note 8b).  In the opinion of the Company’s Tanzanian counsel, the Company has good interest in the prospecting licenses (“PL”) free and clear of any liens and encumbrances and under Tanzanian law any dealings relating to the PL’s and the joint venture rights made subsequent to the dates when the Commissioner of the Ministry of Energy and Mining issued the Certificates of Acknowledgment of the joint venture agreements would not be recognized and they would not affect the rights of the Company in the PL’s. Further, counsel advises that there are no provisions under Tanzanian law in relation to mineral rights which would permit the PL’s to be forfeited or otherwise withdrawn in the event of a change of ownership. The Company will take all necessary actions to protect its interests.
 
(d)     On September 9, 2010, as amended effective on February 14, 2011 and September 9, 2011, the Company signed an agreement with Carlos JK Kapinga (“CJKK”, the property rights owner), whereby the Company was granted the exclusive right to acquire the mineral and mining rights to the 350 sq km Kapinga property. On August 23, 2011 the transfer of 100% ownership of one of the prospecting license from CJKK to Ruby Creek Gold (Tanzania) Limited was recorded with the Commissioner For Minerals of the Ministry of Energy and Minerals as part of the foregoing transaction.

The aforementioned arrangement includes the following terms and conditions:
 
·
The purchase price is $155,000 plus 75,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, against which payments of $60,000 already made through November 30, 2011 plus any subsequent payments will be applied. Any unpaid balance and the share issuance will be completed upon satisfactory transfer of the remaining prospecting licenses (three prospecting licenses in total) deemed necessary to transfer 100% ownership of all property rights to the Company;
 
·
The Kapinga mineral and mining rights cover the 350 sq km Kapinga property; and
 
·
Within 30 days of the  issuance of the first mining license on the Kapinga properties, an additional payment of $100,000 and 75,000 shares of common stock of the Company plus within six months of that date a final payment of $100,000 in cash or common stock of the Company valued at $100,000, at the Company’s option.
 
All of the Company’s properties are located in the Liwale and Nachingwea Districts, Lindi Region of the United Republic of Tanzania.
  
(e)    Effective January 12, 2011,   the Company entered into transactions with Gold Standard Ltd. (“GSL”) and Gold Standard Tanzania Ltd, (“GSTL”).  The GSL transaction was for the purchase of a 95% share (the “Shares”) of GSTL whose assets include a 10 year, 10 square kilometer mining license issued in September 2010, two Prospecting License Joint Ventures of 39 and 89 square kilometers, a Regional Environmental Report on the combined 128 square kilometer property and an established mining camp. The property is immediately adjacent to and on the west-northwest border of the Company’s Gold Plateau Project, specifically the Mkuvia 1 property acquired in November 2009. The GSTL transaction was for the purchase of mining equipment (the “Equipment”).

NOTE 3 - Mineral Properties, continued

On July 18, 2011, as amended and closed on November 29, 2011, the Company, GSTL, GSL and Robert Moriarty (with respect to representations and warranties and cooperation only) entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “APA”) which replaced in their entirety the agreements dated January 12, 2011 referred to in the preceding paragraph. Pursuant to the APA, the Company acquired the identical assets and assumed the identical liabilities for an aggregate purchase price of $3,540,000 plus assumed liabilities.  The APA consideration consisted of:
 
 
·
$100,000;
 
·
1,200,000 shares of the restricted common stock of the Company with a fair value of $1.20 per share;
 
·
Issuance of a $1,026,000 Convertible Mining Equipment Note; and (the “Mining Equipment Note”); and
 
·
Issuance of a $974,000 Convertible Shares Note (the “Share Note”).
 
The principal balances of the Share Note and Mining Equipment Notes are payable in three equal tranches each aggregating $666,667 in six, twelve and eighteen months after closing, plus accrued interest. Each note bears interest at 8% per annum on the declining balance. The Company may elect to pay the interest in cash or in common shares of the Company.  For this purpose common shares will be valued at the volume average weighted price per share as defined in the APA on the payment due date. Until paid in full, the holder may elect to receive payment of any portion of interest and/or principal in restricted common shares of the Company with a conversion price of $0.75 per share with respect to the Mining Equipment Note and accrued interest and $1.00 per share with respect to the Share Note and accrued interest. The unpaid balance of the Mining Equipment Note and accrued interest is convertible at the holder’s option at any time. Also at the holder’s option, $324,667 plus accrued interest of the Share Note is convertible on inception to the day prior to the due date of the first payment (May 26, 2012), $324,667 plus accrued interest is convertible between May 26, 2012 and the day prior to the due date of the second payment (November 26, 2012) and any remaining principal plus accrued interest is convertible between November 26, 2012 and maturity. In each case the conversion amount may be reduced by amounts that can be offset by the Company against the Share Note per the indemnification and hold harmless obligations of GSL and Robert Moriarty per terms of the APA.

On the closing date:
i.  
The intrinsic value of the conversion feature of the Equipment Note of  $615,600 has been reflected as a discount of the Equipment Note and as an addition to additional paid-in capital, resulting in an effective interest rate of 31.8% on the convertible note;
ii.  
The intrinsic value of the conversion feature of the Share Note of  $194,800 has been reflected as a discount of the Share Note and as an addition to additional paid-in capital resulting in an effective interest rate of 31.8% on the convertible note;
iii.  
The net liability assumed in the transaction of $395,000, which is payable in scheduled non-interest bearing future payments, was recorded at its present value using a discount rate of 8% per annum. The resulting discount of $69,795 was recorded as a reduction of assets acquired.
iv.  
The mineral property  was grossed up by an assumed Tanzanian deferred tax liability in the amount of $405,000, resulting from the excess of book value over tax value of mineral and mining rights of GST.

The Company recorded the allocation of the purchase price as follows:

NOTE 3 - Mineral Properties, continued

Effective on November 29, 2011, GSL elected to convert the Equipment Note to shares of the Company. The Company issued 1,368,000 of its common shares and recorded $615,600 as non-cash interest expense in its results of operations for the three months ended November 30, 2011.

On April 6, 2011 the Company and Maita, the original owner of the mining license and other rights to be acquired in the GSL transaction, entered into a settlement agreement pursuant to which the Company satisfied certain GSL obligations to Maita. The Company paid $200,000 on execution of the settlement agreement, which was applied to the $595,000 in obligations assumed in the aforementioned GSTL transaction. In consideration of this payment, the Company assumed certain of Maita’s security interests in the GSL assets that existed at that time, Maita withdrew a joint venture termination notice that he had caused to be issued to GSL, delivered the mining license to counsel to be held in escrow and to be delivered to the Company upon closing the GSL transaction and agreed to cooperate in the physical transfer of certain GSL and GSTL assets physically in his possession. As a result of the consummation of the GSL transaction on November 29, 2011, the mining license was released to the Company.
 
 (f)    The Company entered into transactions to acquire six additional properties with corresponding prospecting licenses or prospecting license applications pending. The purchase price of these properties aggregated $209,000, of which approximately $100,000 was paid as of November 30, 2011.  The balance of the purchase price of each transaction becomes due and payable upon the transfer of each prospecting license to the Company. These payments were for the acquisition of the Keigi property and corresponding prospecting license; the Tundura North property and the Tundura South Property and corresponding prospecting licenses.  The balance of $65,000 with respect to Tundura North was paid in December 2011, and the remainder approximating $45,000 will be paid with respect to the other properties as the related prospecting licenses are issued in the Company’s name.

NOTE 4 - Bridge Loan
 
On December 22, 2009, the Company received $75,000 in proceeds of a bridge loan transaction (the “Bridge”) from a significant shareholder and advisor (currently a director) (“Holder”).  The loan bears interest at the rate of 12% per annum.  The loan agreement grants the holder the right to convert any portion of the balance plus accrued interest into common shares of the Company at a price of $0.125 per share.  The original due date of the Bridge of January 22, 2010 was extended several times by mutual consent, ultimately to March 23, 2010.  In consideration of the loan and these extensions, the Company agreed to additional consideration in the form of units of securities and additional warrants.  This additional consideration resulted in the issuance of an aggregate of 180,000 common shares and two year warrants to purchase an additional 390,000 common shares at $0.25 per share.  On March 23, 2010, the Company defaulted on the payment of interest and principal on the Bridge.  Upon occurrence of the default, the Holder converted the outstanding balance of the note ($75,000) and accrued interest ($2,244) into 1,544,877 shares of common stock of the Company at the contractual conversion price of $0.05 per share. In addition, as a result of this default, the Company was obligated to issue to the Holder a two year warrant to purchase 1,500,000 common shares at an exercise price of $0.05 per share. 
 
On  November 30, 2010, the Holder exercised his conversion rights to the 1,500,000 common share default warrant. The Company received $75,000 and issued 1,500,000 restricted common shares.

NOTE 5 -   Convertible Notes – Related Parties
 
On November 27, 2009, the Company issued two $50,000, 11% convertible notes for total proceeds of $100,000 to a director (formerly a significant shareholder and special advisor) and to another significant shareholder.  These notes were due and payable on November 27, 2010.   In addition, each noteholder received a warrant to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.05 for a term of three years.  The Company calculated an associated beneficial conversion feature and discount of $100,000, which amount was reflected as a discount of the face amount of these debentures on the date of the transaction.  The amount was determined using the relative fair value method.   The Company estimated the fair value of the warrant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: an expected life of three years, a risk-free interest rate of 2.57%, and a dividend rate of 0% and an expected volatility of 116%. This discount was accreted to interest expense over the term of the debentures, and was reflected as a non-cash charge over the term of these notes.

On November 27, 2010, the holders of the convertible notes elected to convert these notes, plus an aggregate of $11,000 in interest earned, into 2,220,000 shares of common stock at the conversion price of $0.05 per common share. 

In the year ended August 31, 2011, the 2,000,000 warrants were exercised for proceeds of $100,000.


NOTE 6 - Other Related Party Transactions
 
The Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) was indebted to the Company for $11,457 and $1,150 at November 30, 2011 and August 31, 2011, respectively. This represented net amounts advanced for travel and mining related expenses to be incurred while in Tanzania.  
 
At November 30, 2011 and August 31, 2011, $75,080 and $49,580, respectively, was owing to a significant shareholder, director and special advisor for consulting services.

At November 30, 2011 and August 31, 2011, the Company was indebted to a member of its board of directors elected on July 15, 2011 for legal fees incurred in the amount of $32,498 and $32,498, respectively, including reimbursed expenses of $0 and $307, respectively. An additional $18,606 is owing to other related parties.
 
All related party transactions are in the normal course of business and are measured at the exchange amount, which is the amount of consideration established and agreed to by the related parties.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
As used in this quarterly report: (i) the terms "we", "us", "our" and the "Company" mean Ruby Creek Resources, Inc.; (ii) "SEC" refers to the Securities and Exchange Commission; (iii) "Exchange Act" refers to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; and (iv) all dollar amounts refer to United States dollars unless otherwise indicated.
 
The following discussion of our plan of operations, results of operations and financial condition for the three month period ended November 30, 2011 should be read in conjunction with our unaudited interim financial statements and related notes for the three month period ended November 30, 2011 included in this quarterly report.   This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including, but not limited to, some of which are outside our control.
 
Plan of Operations
 
Our plan of operations for the next year is to commence gold mining production and to continue exploration activities on our properties acquired and to be acquired. Our Gold Plateau project will approximate 1500 sq km (579 sq miles) including properties currently owned and assuming closing of all properties currently in contract. The major properties currently owned include the Mkuvia property, Gold Standard, Kapinga and Keigi. With the closing of the Gold Standard acquisition on November 29, 2011, we now own our first mining license, which allows us to begin commercial gold mining operations.

Due to our lack of operating history and lack of operating revenues, uncertainty on the availability of adequate financial resources to support operations and to fund future payment obligations associated with the acquisitions of the Mkuvia Gold Project, the Kapinga Gold Property and the Gold Standard Property, there exists substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Even if we complete our current exploration and test mining programs and commence mining operations on our Gold Standard mining license and we are successful in identifying mineral deposits, we will have to spend substantial funds on further drilling and engineering studies, mining equipment and/or contractors before we will know if we have a commercially viable mineral deposit or reserve and are able to achieve positive cash flow from operations. Our plan of operations for the next twelve months is to obtain the funding necessary for the continued exploration, development of the Mkuvia Gold Project and commencement of exploration and mining operations on the Gold Standard property. Further, there are other potential exploration properties currently under review.

Our geological team will perform geological studies to identify areas where mining licenses and mining activities would be most productive. As these sites are identified, we will file for additional mining licenses and our production team will assess what equipment and support structures are necessary to maximize production. Although we have received our first mining license and plan to commence gold mining operations in the next few months, we expect to continue to incur operating losses for the foreseeable future. We base this expectation, in part, on the fact that we have not been able to quantify gold reserves on our properties or establish that we can extract and process gold economically and at a level sufficient to support operations.

Liquidity and Financial Condition
 
At November 30, 2011, we had cash balances of $1,251,000 and working capital deficit of $1,421,000, including a current liability of $1,892,000 to Douglas Lake Minerals and $519,000 convertible note payable to Gold Standard (see Note 3).  In addition to working capital requirements, our need for liquidity includes payment obligations remaining under our Mkuvia (Douglas Lake Minerals), Kapinga, Gold Standard and other property purchases. Substantial amounts of these obligations may be converted or satisfied in shares of our common stock. With respect to the 125 sq km Mkuvia property rights acquisition, the Company will be required to make (i) a payment of $400,000 to Douglas Lake Minerals upon the issuance of the initial mining license; and (ii) three additional payments of $750,000 within 12, 24 months and 36 months of that date.  The Company has the option to satisfy the final $750,000 payment by issuing shares of its common stock based upon the Volume Weighted Average Price (“VWAP”) for the 10 days immediately preceding the payment date.  In connection with the acquisition of the rights to the 225 sq km of the Mkuvia property executed on June 16, 2010 we have remaining obligations to pay $450,000 on June 1, 2011; $1,000,000 on June 1, 2012; and $1,000,000 on June 1 2013. The Company has the option to satisfy the final $1,000,000 payment due on June 1, 2013, by issuing shares of its common stock based upon the Volume Weighted Average Price (“VWAP”) for the 20 days immediately preceding the payment date. Complete details of these agreements are included Note 3c to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere herein. The Purchase Agreements for each of the properties provided us with the option to increase our interest from the current 70% to 75% in consideration of an additional payment of $1,000,000 for each property though June 2011.  As result of matters described in Footnote 3c to our Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements we did not make the June 1, 2011 payment, nor have we elected to exercise either option. Effective on September 9, 2011, we acquired the mineral and mining rights to three properties which will be covered by prospecting licenses on an a total of 350 sq km property known as the Kapinga Properties, under the following terms and conditions, as modified from an earlier arrangement:

·
A purchase price of $155,000 plus 75,000 shares of Company common stock, against which payments of $60,000 were made through August 31, 2011. Any unpaid balance and the share issuance will be completed upon satisfactory transfer of the remaining prospecting licenses deemed necessary to transfer 100% ownership of all property rights to the Company;
 
·
The Company will acquire a 100% interest in KAP 1,2,3

On November 29, 2011 we concluded the acquisition of a 95% interest in Gold Standard Tanzania Ltd, (“GSTL”). GSTL’s assets include a 10 year, 10 square kilometer mining license issued in September 2010, and other assets including two Prospecting License Joint Ventures of 39 and 89 square kilometers, a Regional Environmental Report on the combined 139 square kilometer property, mining equipment and an established mining camp. The purchase price was $3,000,000 in cash, convertible promissory notes and stock, as well as the assumption of $585,000 in GSTL liabilities. (See Note 3e to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included herein). The property is immediately adjacent to and on the west-northwest border of the Company’s Gold Plateau Project.
 
All of the properties comprising the Gold Plateau Project are located in the Liwale and Nachingwea Districts, Lindi Region of the United Republic of Tanzania.

On October 2011, we commenced an offering of equity securities pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D and Regulation S at a price of $0.75 per unit.  Through December 5, 2011, the Company sold 320,000 units of this offering and received proceeds of $240,000 and issued associated $1.50 two year warrants to purchase an additional 160,000 shares.  If all of these warrants were exercised it would result in proceeds of an additional $240,000. We incurred and paid $15,000 in commissions related to these funds received.

·  
In the three months ended November 30, 2011, private placement warrants were exercised to acquire 427,500 common shares for net proceeds of $191,250.


Subsequent to November 30, 2011 through January 15, 2012, Bridge Loan warrants held by a principal shareholder and Director to purchase 300,000 common shares for $.25 per share were exercised. We received $23,920 in cash proceeds and $73,580was applied against related party indebtedness.

These securities include cashless exercise provisions.

If all of the warrants and options were exercised we could receive an additional $10,693,750 in proceeds, excluding proceeds of $2,170,000 of securities with cashless exercise provisions. We cannot however predict if market conditions would be favorable, or that the various holders would exercise their rights even if the various exercise prices were lower than the market price of our shares.
 
Future Financings
 
We anticipate that any future additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock or other securities convertible into our common stock. In addition to equity and equity related financing sources, we believe that debt financing may be a viable alternative for funding additional phases of exploration and to fund actual mining operations once production commences.  We expect mining operations to commence by March 31, 2012 exploiting the initial mining license acquired in the Gold Standard acquisition. However, while management believes that it will be successful, there can be no assurance that any potential subsequent financings will be, or that any funds raised will be sufficient for us to conduct and sustain our operations, fund our obligations under property acquisition agreements and pay our expenses for the next twelve months. In the absence of such financing, we will not be able to continue exploration of our venture prospecting licenses for the Gold Plateau, and our business plan could fail.  Even if we are successful in obtaining debt or equity financing and/or generate positive cash flow from operations to fund our various acquisition and exploration programs, there is no assurance that we will obtain the funding necessary to pursue any advanced exploration of any prospecting licenses we presently have or that we may acquire or that the any project will yield commercially viable levels of minerals.  If we do not continue to obtain additional financing, we will be forced to limit or abandon our plan of operations.  

We believe that the nature of the deposit at the Gold Plateau readily lends itself to producing gold with a reasonable level of investment and the discovery of areas on the Project where gold grades will exceed the economically viable concentration levels. This has been the experience with artisanal mining on the Mkuvai and Gold Standard properties. While we have no assurance of such results, we would intend to use positive cash flow generated to fund and reduce the need to raise capital. The cash flow expected to be generated from operations expands gold production and funds placer and potentially source rock exploration.

Results of Operations for the three months ended November 30, 2011.

Mining Exploration and Operating Costs

During the three months ended November 30, 2011, mining, exploration and operating costs increased by $142,232 to $373,462 as compared to $231,230 incurred during the three months ended November 30, 2010. This is reflective of our activities following the acquisition of the mineral and mining rights to the Gold Standard and Mkuvia properties as well as activities to advance our progress towards commencing production. Specific activities included purchasing, retention and training of personnel, ongoing construction of our mining camp, equipment maintenance and repair and further developing our extraction techniques.
 
Exploration activities were directed at identifying what we believe will be the most productive mining sites based on our samples of gold concentrations. We continued to explore other potential prospecting sites, which activities will increase as our properties increase, and especially now that we have obtained our first mining license with the Gold Standard acquisition. We also greatly enhanced our in country management by adding a highly qualified operations specialist.
 
In order to support our exploration and mining activities we continue to improve and expand our base camp. This included upgrading our living quarters as well as our cooking and lavatory facilities. We will incur similar costs to improve the camp located on the Gold Standard property. We also incurred substantial costs for travel and transportation and food and supplies.  In preparation for commencing production we incurred approximately $115,000 in security cost during the three months ended November, 31, 2011 as compared to $32,000 for the three months ended November 30, 2010.
 
Finally, we are committed to being a positive influence in the local Tanzanian community. Our primary area of community support is through improved education and health care.

Consulting Services
 
During three months ended November 30, 2011 and November 30, 2010, we incurred $187,631 and $92,934, respectively, in consulting costs. We incurred consulting costs for a wide range of advisory and support services to assist us with our operations in Tanzania, to enhance our financing strategies and for other legal and administrative improvements. Of the total amount we incurred, $37,190 was required to be satisfied in cash, and, $187,631 was satisfied through stock based compensation during the three months ended November 30, 2011. During three months ended November 30, 2010 of the total amount we incurred, $34,188 was required to be paid in cash, and $58,746 was satisfied through stock based compensation. 

 
Interest and Financing Fees
 
During the three months ended November 30, 2011 and 2010, we incurred approximately $706,000 and $140,000, respectively, in interest and financing fees.  In the November 30, 2011 period, we incurred a non-cash interest charge of $616,000 arising from the conversion of the Equipment Note issued in the acquisition of Gold Standard, Ltd. of $1,026,000 into 1,368,000 common shares.  This amount represented the intrinsic value of the conversion feature. The remaining amount incurred during this period of $90,000 was also a non-cash charge for the accretion of debt discount related to the amounts due Douglas Lake minerals. Of the amount incurred for the three month period ended November 30, 2010, approximately $3,000 was satisfied in cash, approximately $24,000 were non-cash financing costs related to the fair value of derivative instruments issued in connection with the 11% convertible debentures and $113,000 was for the accretion of debt discount related to the amounts due Douglas Lake minerals.
 
Management Services
 
During three months ended November 30, 2011 and 2010, we incurred approximately $314,000 and $139,000 respectively, in management services. Of the approximately $175,000 increase, approximately $146,000 was in the form of stock based compensation. Effective May 1, 2011, we entered into an advisory agreement with a member of our Board of Directors and an employment agreement with our CEO. We also hired a full time Controller in June 2011. These agreements resulted in increases in the current period as compared to the comparable period of the preceding year.   Of the total amount incurred during the three months ended November 30, 2011, approximately $129,000 was paid in cash and $185,000 was paid in stock based compensation representing the fair value of compensatory stock options and warrants and common shares earned. Of the total amount incurred during the three months ended November 30, 2010, approximately $100,000 was satisfied in cash, and $39,000 was paid in stock based compensation representing the fair value of compensatory stock options and warrants and common shares earned.

General and Administrative, Professional Fees, and Shareholder Relations
 
During the three months ended November 30, 2011 and 2010, we incurred approximately $323,000 and $226,000, respectively, in General and Administrative, Professional Fees, and Shareholder Relations. These expenses increased in a manner consistent with the increased complexity and scope of operations of the Company, travel and related costs, directors and officers insurance, additional support staff and facilities costs as well legal and other professional fees.
 
 
Net Loss
 
We had a net loss of approximately $1,928,000 and $831,000 for the three month periods ended November 30, 2011 and 2010.  Our net loss from inception of the Company on May 3, 2006 until November 30, 2011 approximated $9,919,000. Our net loss for the three months ended November 30, 2011 is attributable to the execution of our business plan to become a gold producing mining company.  For the three months ended November 30, 2011, stock based compensation for management services approximated $185,000, non-cash financing costs approximated $706,000, depreciation and amortization approximated $23,000 and common stock issued for consulting services approximated $188,000 for an aggregate of $1,102,000 in non-cash costs included in results of operations.
 
 Going Concern
 
We are in the exploration stage and have not generated revenues since inception.  We have incurred significant losses to date and further losses are anticipated raising substantial doubt about the ability of our Company to continue operating as a going concern.  The continuation of our Company as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, meet our obligations as they come due and to determine the existence, discovery and successful exploitation of economically recoverable reserves on our resource properties and ultimately on the attainment of future profitable operations. Since inception to November 30, 2011, we had accumulated losses of $9,919,000.  These 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 we be unable to continue as a going concern.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis.  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
 
We regularly evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to prepare our financial statements.  In general, management's estimates are based on historical experience, on information from third party professionals, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances.  Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.
 
 Use of Estimates and Assumptions
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Mineral Property Costs
 
The Company has been in the exploration stage since its formation on May 3, 2006 and has not realized any revenues from its planned operations.  It is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral resources.
 
The Company classifies its mineral rights as tangible assets and accordingly acquisition costs are capitalized as mineral property costs. Generally accepted accounting principles require that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  In performing the review for recoverability, the Company is to estimate the future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the undiscounted expected future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized.  Mineral exploration costs are
expensed as incurred until commercially mineable deposits are determined to exist within a particular property.  To date the Company has not established any proven or probable reserves.
 
The Company accounts for asset retirement obligations by recording the initial measurement and subsequent accounting for obligations associated with the sale, abandonment, or other disposal of long-term tangible assets arising from the acquisition, construction or development and for normal operations of such assets.  As of May 31, 2011, the Company has not incurred any potential costs related to the retirement of mineral property interests since commercial mining operations have not commenced.
 
Foreign Currency Translation
 
The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar. The functional currency of the Company’s Tanzanian subsidiary is the Tanzanian Shilling. The financial statements of the subsidiary are translated to United States dollars in accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Translation Matters. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at rates of exchange in effect at the date of the transaction. Average monthly rates are used to translate revenues and expenses. Related translation adjustments are reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity, whereas gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in results of operations.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
Recent pronouncements issued are not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
We are currently not subject to any material market risks.
 
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report, based on their evaluation of these controls and procedures required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15, due to certain material weaknesses in our internal control over interim financial reporting as of November 30, 2011, as described in our management’s report on internal control over financial reporting included in our annual report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended August 31, 2011, which deficiencies have not been remedied as of November 30, 2011.
 
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
Effective February 1, 2010, we retained an interim CFO. Effective on June 6, 2011 we retained a Controller. We believe their participation has and will strengthen internal controls, and certain new controls have been installed or are in the process of being designed and implemented.  We believe that this did and will continue to improve and strengthen our internal controls over financial reporting.
