MAGELLAN GOLD CORPORATION

(An Exploration Stage Company)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

We use the terms “Magellan,” “we,” “our,” and “us” to refer to Magellan Gold Corporation.

Note 1 – Organization, Basis of Presentation, and Continuance of Operations:

We were incorporated on September 28, 2010, in Nevada. We are an exploration stage company and our principal business is the acquisition and exploration of mineral resources. We have not presently determined whether our mineral properties contain mineral reserves that are economically recoverable.

We have only recently begun operations and we rely upon the sale of our securities and borrowings from significant shareholders to fund our operations as we have not generated any revenue.

Basis of Presentation

We prepare our financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information in accordance with Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013, are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. While we believe that the disclosures presented herein are adequate and not misleading, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the footnotes thereto contained in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Liquidity and Going Concern

Our financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that we will be able to meet our obligations and continue our operations during the next fiscal year. Asset realization values may be significantly different from carrying values as shown in our financial statements and do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values of assets and liabilities should we be unable to continue as a going concern. At June 30, 2013, we had not yet generated any revenues or achieved profitable operations and we have accumulated losses of $698,290 since our inception. We expect to incur further losses in the development of our business, all of which casts substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  In addition, at June 30, 2013 we were overdrawn by $19,604 on our line of credit with a significant shareholder, although no demand for remedy has been made nor is expected.  Our ability to continue as a going concern depends on our ability to generate future profits and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations arising from normal business operations when they come due. We anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of additional debt financing, as well as equity financing from the sale of our common stock.  From time to time we may also seek to obtain short-term loans from officers, directors or significant shareholders.

Note 2– Mineral Rights:

As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, our mineral rights consist of the following:

Sacramento Mountains Project

Magellan staked fifty (50) unpatented lode mining claims known as the “Sacramento Mountains Project” totaling approximately 1,000 acres, in which they have a 100% unencumbered interest, on Federal (BLM) land in October 2012 and filed the claims with the BLM in January 2013.    The Project is located in the northwest corner of the Sacramento Mountains approximately 10 miles WNW of Needles, California.

Pony Express Claims

On November 18, 2010, we filed two unpatented lode mining claims giving us the right to explore, develop and conduct mining operations on these claims located in Churchill County, Nevada.

Silver District Claims

On August 28, 2012, we entered into an option agreement with Columbus Silver Corporation, which grants the Company the right to acquire all of Columbus’ interest in its Silver District properties located in La Paz County, Arizona.  We paid Columbus an initial $63,200 on signing of the option.  The funds to make the initial payment were obtained through the sale of common stock to John D. Gibbs, a significant investor.  In addition, we made a $50,000 payment in December 2012 to Columbus as required under the option agreement.  During January 2013, we paid an additional $30,000 for an underlying purchase obligation entered into between Columbus and a third party. See also Note 5 regarding certain commitments for future payments for these claims.

The Silver District property consists of 108 unpatented mining claims, four patented claims held under lease agreements, and one state lease, totaling over 2,000 acres.  The property is subject to third party net smelter royalties of varying percentages. We also must make payments under the option agreement to maintain the underlying claims, leases and purchases contracts.

Note 3 – Line of Credit – Related Parties:

Effective December 31, 2012, we entered into a line of credit arrangement with John D. Gibbs, a significant investor, to facilitate timely cash flows for the Company’s operations.  The line of credit provides for a maximum balance of $250,000, and accrues interest at 6% annually.  The line of credit expires and becomes due on December 31, 2014.

At the effective date of the line of credit, Mr. Gibbs was owed a total of $65,000 from previous loans, $40,000 of which was from the previous year and $25,000 of which was received during 2012.  These

6

amounts were converted to the line of credit at December 31, 2012 and are included in the line of credit balance at December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2013.  In addition, on December 31, 2012 the Company drew an additional $50,000 on the line of credit to facilitate a required payment due for our Silver District claim.  At December 31, 2012 a total of $115,000 was outstanding on the credit facility.  Accrued interest on the credit facility was $4,524 at December 31, 2012, and is included in Due to related parties on the accompanying balance sheet.

During the six months ended June 30, 2013 additional draws totaling $154,604, which was primarily used to fund working capital and the $30,000 payment made under the Silver District option agreement in January 2013.  At June 30, 2013 a total of $269,604 was outstanding under this line of credit, and is therefore overdrawn by $19,604 at June 30, 2013.  No demand from the significant shareholder to remedy the overdraft has been received and none is expected.  In addition, a total of $10,200 of interest has been accrued on this obligation and is included in Due to related parties on the accompanying balance sheet at June 30, 2013.

Note 4 – Notes Payable – Related Parties:

Effective August 23, 2011, we entered into an unsecured loan from John Power, the Company’s sole executive officer, evidenced by a $20,000 promissory note. The promissory note bears interest at 6% per annum and was to mature on January 1, 2013.  Effective December 31, 2012, the Company agreed to convert the Note to payable on demand with thirty days notice from the lender.  At June 30, 2013 a total of $1,198 of interest was accrued on this promissory note and is included in Due to related parties on the accompanying balance sheet at June 30, 2013.

Note 5 - Commitments and Contingencies:

Under the Columbus Silver - Silver District option, we are required to make a $400,000 payment due December 31, 2013, and a final $500,000 payment due December 31, 2014 to complete the purchase. We are also required to make payments under the option agreement to maintain the underlying claims, leases and purchase contracts.

Note 6 – Shareholders’ Equity:

During the six months ended June 30, 2013 no shares of common stock or other equity instruments or derivatives were issued.

Note 7 – Related Party Transactions:

Conflicts of Interests

Athena Silver Corporation is a company under common control. Mr. Power is also a director and CEO of Athena. Mr. Gibbs is a significant investor in both Magellan and Athena. Magellan and Athena are both exploration stage companies involved in the business of acquisition and exploration of mineral resources.

Silver Saddle Resources, LLC is also a company under common control. Mr. Power and Mr. Gibbs are significant investors and managing members of Silver Saddle. Magellan and Silver Saddle are both exploration stage companies involved in the business of acquisition and exploration of mineral resources.

7

The existence of common ownership and common management could result in significantly different operating results or financial position from those that could have resulted had Magellan, Athena and Silver Saddle been autonomous.

Management Fees

On January 1, 2013, we extended, for one year, our month-to-month management agreement with Mr. Power requiring a monthly payment, in advance, of $2,500 as consideration for the day-to-day management of Magellan.

Management fees to Mr. Power totaling $15,000 for both the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 are included in general and administrative expenses in our statement of operations.  At December 31, 2012 a total of $7,500 was accrued and unpaid and included in Due to related parties on the accompanying balance sheet at December 31, 2012.  All management fees due Mr. Power through June 30, 2013 have been paid.

Due from Related Parties

During the six months ended June 30, 2013 no non-interest bearing advances to related parties were made.  During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we made a $5,000 advance to Silver Saddle Resources, LLC, all of which was repaid during the six months ended June 30, 2012.

Due to Related Parties

Accounts payable, accrued liabilities and accrued interest payable to related parties are included in due to related parties in our balance sheets as follows:

Advances Payable – Related Parties

Advances payable to related parties at both June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 totaling $5,000 and $5,650, respectively are due Mr. Power.

We borrowed and repaid non-interest bearing advances from/to related parties as follows:

8

On January 24, 2012, we repaid the $25,000 advance payable to Mr. Gibbs by issuing 2,500,000 common shares valued at $25,000, or $0.01 per share.

Note 8 – Subsequent Events

Subsequent to June 30, 2013, Magellan received advances on its Line of Credit with a related party in the amount of $15,000.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

We use the terms “Magellan,” “we,” “our,” and “us” to refer to Magellan Gold Corporation.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements, including the notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The discussion of results, causes and trends should not be construed to imply any conclusion that these results or trends will necessarily continue into the future.

Forward-Looking Statements

Some of the information presented in this Form 10-Q constitutes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that include terms such as “may,” “will,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “continue,” “believe,” “plan,” or the like, as well as all statements that are not historical facts.  Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations.  Although we believe our expectations are based on reasonable assumptions within the bounds of our knowledge of our business and operations, there can be no assurance that actual results will not differ materially from expectations.

All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made.  We undertake no obligation to update such statements to reflect events that occur or circumstances that exist after the date on which they are made.

Overview

We were incorporated on September 28, 2010, in Nevada. We are an exploration stage company and our principal business is the acquisition and exploration of mineral resources. We have not presently determined whether the properties to which we have mineral rights contain mineral reserves that are economically recoverable.

We have only had limited operations to date and we rely upon the sale of our securities and borrowings from significant investors to fund our operations, as we have not generated any revenue.

In August 2012, we entered into an option agreement to purchase  “The Silver District” project consisting of 85 unpatented lode mining claims, 4 patented lode claims, an Arizona mining lease of 154.66 acres and 23 unpatented mill site claims, totaling over 2,000 acres in Lap Paz County, Arizona.   In addition to our option payments to Columbus Exploration to acquire the project, the underlying claims are also subject to third party lease and or purchase obligations and net smelter royalties of varying percentages.

The Company is obligated to make certain payments during 2013 to maintain its option on the Silver District properties including $400,000 due to Columbus on December 31, 2013.  There is no assurance that Magellan will obtain the funding necessary to make these payments.

We also staked fifty (50) unpatented lode mining claims known as the “Sacramento Mountains” project totaling approximately 1,000 acres, in which they have a 100% unencumbered interest, on Federal (BLM)

10

land in October 2012 and filed the claims with the BLM in January 2013.    The Project is located in the northwest corner of the Sacramento Mountains approximately 10 miles WNW of Needles, California.

Our primary focus during the next twelve months, and depending on available resources, will be to acquire, explore, and if warranted and feasible, permit and develop our remaining mineral properties.

Results of Operations

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.

Operating expenses

During the three months ended June 30, 2013, our total operating expenses were $43,608 as compared to $91,384 during the three months ended June 30, 2012.

During the three months ended June 30, 2013 we incurred $21,097 of exploration costs as compared to $23,957 during the same period in 2012.  Exploration costs for the three months ended June 30, 2013 are primarily comprised of consulting geologist fees and related expenses associated with the review of the Silver District and Sacramento Mountains projects.  The primary objective was to develop exploration plans for both projects and file applications with the BLM to conduct exploratory drilling subject to available working capital.

Exploration costs for the three months ended June 30, 2012 totaling $23,957 were mainly comprised of costs incurred to complete our second phase of the Secret Canyon Claims soil sample survey. Second quarter 2012 exploration costs were comprised of: assay and geochemical analysis costs totaling $16,970, geologist professional fees totaling $4,924 and other exploration costs totaling 2,063. During the second quarter of 2012 we incurred $21,110 of exploration costs on our Secret Canyon Claims and $ 2,847 on all other claims.

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2013 totaling $22,511 were mainly comprised professional fees including: accounting and audit fees of $8,320, legal fees totaling

11

$876, management fees to Mr. Power totaling $7,500, investor relations and other professional fees totaling $2,392.  The remaining general and administrative expenses totaling $3,423 were generally comprised of travel expenses, office expenses and other operating costs.

In June 2012, after considering the results of our Secret Canyon Claims soil sample surveys, we decided to terminate our mineral rights agreement under the Cowles Option without further obligation and expensed our previously capitalized costs to acquire these mineral rights in the amount of $25,468, which is included in abandonment of mineral rights in our statements of operations. On July 16, 2012, we received notice from the Bureau of Land Management that our application to perform certain exploration work on our Randall Claims was not approved and as a result, we impaired 100% of our mineral rights applicable to our Randall Claims and recognized an impairment charge of $13,307 effective June 30, 2012.  We have not incurred mineral rights abandonment or impairment charges during 2013.

Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 totaled $3,670 and $1,272, respectively, and is attributable to our related party line of credit and notes payable which accrue interest at the rate of 6% per year.

Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, our total operating expenses were $105,945 as compared to $136,817 during the six months ended June 30, 2012.

12

During the six months ended June 30, 2013 we incurred $55,969 of exploration costs as compared to $27,558 during the same period in 2012.  Exploration costs for the six months ended June 30, 2013 are primarily comprised of consulting geologist fees and related expenses associated with the review of the Silver District and Sacramento Mountains projects.  The primary objective was to develop drill targets on both projects and file applications with the BLM to conduct exploratory drilling subject to available working capital.

Exploration costs for the six months ended June 30, 2012 totaling $27,558 were comprised of our Secret Canyon Claims soil sample survey costs, including: assay and geochemical analysis costs totaling $16,970, geologist professional fees totaling $6,518 and other exploration costs totaling $4,070.  During the first half of 2012 we incurred $22,919 of exploration costs on our Secret Canyon Claims and $4,639 on all other claims.

On July 16, 2012, we received notice from the Bureau of Land Management that our application to perform certain exploration work on our Randall Claims was not approved and as a result, we impaired 100% of our mineral rights applicable to our Randall Claims and recognized an impairment charge of $13,307 effective June 30, 2012.  We have not incurred mineral rights abandonment or impairment charges during 2013.

Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 totaled $6,254 and $2,312, respectively, and is attributable to our related party line of credit and notes payable which accrue interest at the rate of 6% per year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

We intend to meet our cash requirements for the next 12 months primarily through the utilization of our line of credit established in December 2012 and the private placement of debt or equity instruments. We currently do not have any arrangements in place to complete private placement financings and there is no assurance that we will be successful in completing any such financings on terms that will be acceptable to us.

Effective December 31, 2012, we entered into a line of credit arrangement with John D. Gibbs, a significant investor, to facilitate timely cash flows for the Company’s operations.  The line of credit provides for a maximum balance of $250,000, and accrues interest at 6%, which is payable from time to

13

time and due at maturity.  At June 30, 2013 the line of credit balance of $269,604 was overdrawn by $19,604.  The line of credit expires and becomes due on December 31, 2014.

Our primary priority is to retain our reporting status with the SEC, which means that we will first ensure that we have sufficient capital to cover our legal and accounting expenses. Once these costs are accounted for, in accordance with how much financing we are able to secure, we will focus on exploration and development of our mineral properties. We will likely not expend funds on the remainder of our planned activities unless we have the required capital.

Cash Flows

A summary of our cash provided by and used in operating, investing and financing activities is as follows:

As of June 30, 2013, we had $334 in cash and a $387,611 working capital deficit. This compares to cash of $179 and a working capital deficit of $155,762 at June 30, 2012.

Net cash used in operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2013, was $117,679 and was mainly comprised of our $(112,199) net loss during the period.  Net cash used in operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2012, was $76,178 and was mainly comprised of our $(139,129) net loss during the period.  This amount was offset by noncash write-downs of our mineral rights totaling $38,775 plus a $19,197 increase in accounts payable, a $979 increase in amounts due to related parties and a $4,000 decrease in prepaid expenses during the period.

During the six months ended June 30, 2013 we used $40,350 of cash in investing activities, which is comprised of a $30,000 payment to maintain our option agreement associated with our Silver District claims, and $10,350 for the acquisition of our Sacramento Mountains claims.

For the six months ended June 30, 2012 we used $40,000 of cash in investing activities comprised of advance minimum royalty payments applicable to our Secret Canyon Claims and Randall Claims mineral rights.

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, cash provided by financing activities was $153,954.  Effective December 31, 2012, we entered into a line of credit arrangement with John D. Gibbs, a significant investor, to facilitate timely cash flows for the Company’s operations.  During the six months ended June 30, 2013 we drew an additional $154,604 on this credit line, which was used primarily to pay for our claims activities and to fund our general corporate expenses. Also, during the six months ended June 30, 2013, Mr. Power advanced the Company $14,800, all of which has been repaid.

14

During the six months ended June 30, 2012, cash provided by financing activities was $116,250 as we sold 9,000,000 common shares to Mr. Gibbs for $90,000 cash and borrowed an additional $25,000 from Mr. Gibbs and $1,250 from Mr. Power.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures:

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including John C. Power, our President who is also our Principal Accounting Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management necessarily applied its judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures, which, by their nature, can provide only reasonable assurance regarding management’s control objectives.

Our management, including Mr. Power, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, Mr. Power concluded that the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of such date to provide assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding disclosures.

The SEC, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, adopted rules requiring every company that files reports with the SEC to include a management report on the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures in its periodic reports and an annual assessment of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting in its annual report. Neither this report nor our first Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2012, filed on April 5, 2013, includes a report of management's assessment regarding internal control over financial reporting due to a transition period established by SEC rules applicable to new public companies. Management will be required to provide an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
