Goldrich Mining Company

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)



1.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION:


The unaudited financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information, as well as the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial statements have been included.  Operating results for the six-month period ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015.  


For further information refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.


Going Concern


The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred losses since its inception and does not have sufficient cash to fund normal operations and meet debt obligations for the next 12 months without deferring payment on certain current liabilities and/or raising additional funds.


The Company currently has no historical recurring source of revenue and its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise capital to fund its future exploration and working capital requirements or its ability to profitably execute its business plan. The Company’s plans for the long-term return to and continuation as a going concern include the profitable exploitation of its mining properties and financing the Company’s future operations through sales of its common stock and/or debt.


Additionally, the current capital markets and general economic conditions in the United States are significant obstacles to raising the required funds. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.


The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. If the going concern basis were not appropriate for these financial statements, adjustments would be necessary in the carrying value of assets and liabilities, the reported expenses and the balance sheet classifications used.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Cash and Cash Equivalents


For the purposes of the balance sheet and statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be a cash equivalent. Cash or cash equivalents which secure debt instruments, credit facilities, reclamation or environmental bonds, or that are otherwise limited or restricted in their usage, are reported separately and not included in cash and cash equivalents.


Consolidation of and Accounting for Subsidiaries


The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the accounts of its 100% owned subsidiaries Minera LSG S.A. and Goldrich Placer, LLC. These subsidiaries are included in the accompanying financial statements by consolidation, with all intercompany balances and investment accounts eliminated.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED:


Accounting for Investments in Joint Ventures


For joint ventures in which the Company does not have joint control or significant influence, the cost method is used. Under the cost method, these investments are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. For those joint ventures in which there is joint control between the parties and in which the Company has significant influence, the equity method is utilized whereby the Company’s share of the ventures’ earnings and losses is included in the statement of operations as earnings in joint ventures and its investments therein are adjusted by a similar amount.


Goldrich has no significant influence over its joint venture described in Note 3 Joint Venture, and therefore accounts for its investment using the cost method.


For joint ventures where the Company holds more than 50% of the voting interest and has significant influence, the joint venture is consolidated with the presentation of a non-controlling interest. In determining whether significant influence exists, the Company considers its participation in policy-making decisions and its representation on the venture’s management committee. Goldrich currently has no joint venture of this nature.


The Company periodically assesses its investments in joint ventures for impairment.  If management determines that a decline in fair value is other than temporary it will write-down the investment and charge the impairment against operations.


Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share


We are authorized to issue 250,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.10 par value per share. At June 30, 2015, there were 131,082,809 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED:


Use of Estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Significant estimates used in preparing these financial statements include those assumed in estimating the recoverability of the cost of mining claims, accrued remediation costs, asset retirement obligations, stock based compensation, and deferred tax assets and related valuation allowances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements


In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern”. The provisions of ASU No. 2014-15 require management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. Specifically, the amendments (1) provide a definition of the term substantial doubt, (2) require an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods, (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). The amendments in this ASU are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. The Company is currently assessing the impact of ASU No. 2014-15 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements once adopted.


Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption. The Company does not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to its financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.


Reclassifications


Certain reclassifications have been made to conform prior period’s data to the current presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on the results of reported operations or stockholders’ deficit.


Plant, Equipment, and Accumulated Depreciation


Plant and equipment are stated at cost, which is determined by cash paid or fair value of the shares of the Company’s common stock issued. The Company’s mill buildings and equipment are located on the Company’s unpatented state mining claims located in the Chandalar mining district of Alaska. All mill buildings and equipment purchased prior to 2009 are fully depreciated. The Company’s equipment is located at the Chandalar property in Alaska, with a small amount of office equipment located at Company offices in Spokane, Washington. Assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis. Improvements which significantly increase an asset’s value or significantly extend its useful life are capitalized and depreciated over the asset’s remaining useful life.


When a fixed asset is sold at a price either higher or lower than its carrying amount, or undepreciated cost at the date of disposal, the difference between the sale proceeds over the carrying amount is recognized as gain, while a loss is recognized when the carrying amount exceeds the sale proceeds. The gain or loss is recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED:


Mining Properties and Claims


The Company capitalizes costs for acquiring mineral properties and expenses costs to maintain mineral rights and leases as incurred. Should a property reach the production stage, these capitalized costs would be amortized using the units-of-production method on the basis of periodic estimates of ore reserves. Mineral properties are periodically assessed for impairment of value, and any subsequent losses are charged to operations at the time of impairment. If a property is abandoned or sold, its capitalized costs are charged to operations.


Mine Preparation Costs


Mine preparation costs are expenditures incurred in the exploration stage that may ultimately benefit production are expensed due to the lack of proven and probable reserves, which would indicate future recovery of these expenses. These costs are expensed in the period in which they occur.


Exploration Costs


Exploration costs are expensed in the period in which they occur.


Income Taxes


Income taxes are recognized in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740 Income Taxes, whereby deferred income tax liabilities or assets at the end of each period are determined using the tax rate expected to be in effect when the taxes are actually paid or recovered. A valuation allowance is recognized on deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some or all of these deferred tax assets will not be realized. ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company has assessed its tax positions and has determined that it has not taken a position that would give rise to an unrecognized tax liability being reported. In the event that the Company is assessed penalties and or interest; penalties will be charged to other operating expense and interest will be charged to interest expense.


Management estimates that for the year ending December 31, 2015, the Company’s combined effective income tax rate will be approximately 43%.


Revenue Recognition


Revenue from the sale of gold is recorded net of smelter or refinery treatment and refining charges. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, title and risk passes to the buyer, collection is reasonably assured and price is reasonably determinable. When alluvial gold is placed with the smelter, revenue is recognized and cash is remitted for any ounces of alluvial gold sold to the smelter, converted to ounces of fine gold at an assumed smelting loss percentage. Pricing of the sale is at the market price of gold on the date of sale. The number of gold ounces sold at deposit is limited to a certain percentage of the ounces of alluvial gold deposited, as agreed in each case with the smelter. Ounces not sold are smelted and retained in the Company’s inventory in a secured metals account at the smelter. Subsequent sales of gold from inventory are made at then-current market prices, with smelter treatment and refining charges deducted, and net cash proceeds are remitted to the Company.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED:


Remediation

 

The Company’s operations have been, and are subject to, standards for mine reclamation that have been established by various governmental agencies. The Company records the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability in the period in which the Company incurs a legal obligation for the retirement of tangible long-lived assets. A corresponding asset is also recorded and depreciated over the life of the long lived asset using a units of production method. After the initial measurement of the asset retirement obligation, the liability will be adjusted at the end of each reporting period to reflect changes in the estimated future cash flows underlying the obligation. Determination of any amounts recognized is based upon numerous estimates and assumptions, including future retirement costs, future inflation rates and the credit-adjusted risk-free interest rates. For non-operating properties, the Company accrues costs associated with environmental remediation obligations when it is probable that such costs will be incurred and they are reasonably estimable. Such costs are based on management’s estimate of amounts expected to be incurred when the remediation work is performed.


Stock-Based Compensation


The Company periodically issues common shares or options to purchase shares of the Company’s common shares to its officers, directors or other parties. These issuances are recorded at fair value for both the common shares issued and options granted.


The Company uses a Black Scholes valuation model for determining fair value of options to purchase shares, and compensation expense is recognized ratably over the vesting periods on a straight line basis. Compensation expenses for grants that vest immediately are recognized in the period of grant.

JOINT VENTURE


On May 7, 2012, the Company entered into a joint venture (“the JV”) with NyacAU, LLC (“NyacAU”), an Alaskan private company, to bring Goldrich’s Chandalar placer gold properties into production as defined in the joint venture agreement. In each case as used herein in reference to the JV, “production” is as defined by the JV agreement. As part of the agreement, Goldrich and NyacAU formed a 50:50 joint venture company, Goldrich NyacAU Placer LLC (“GNP”), to operate the Chandalar placer mines, with NyacAU acting as managing partner. Goldrich has no significant control or influence over the JV, and therefore accounts for its investment using the cost method, which totals $55,300 at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.


Under the terms of the joint venture agreement (the “Agreement”), NyacAU provided funding to the JV. The loans are to be repaid from future production. According to the Agreement, on at least an annual basis, the JV shall allocate and distribute all revenue (whether in cash or as gold) generated from the JV’s placer operation in the following order:

JOINT VENTURE, CONTINUED:


1.

Current year operating expenses,

2.

Members’ distribution of 20% (10% to Goldrich and 10% to NyacAU) provided that, for so long as the loan (LOC2) to GNP from NyacAU for the purchase of a royalty is not paid in full, the JV shall retain 100% of Goldrich’s distribution and apply against the loan,

3.

After payment of operating expenses and the member’s distribution of 20%, the JV will apply any remaining revenue to reduce the remaining balance of the loan from NyacAU to GNP for the development of the mine (LOC1),

4.

Reserves for future operating expenses and capital needs, not to exceed $3,000,000 in any year, and

5.

Member distributions of any remaining gold production on a 50:50 basis to each of the JV partners provided that, for so long as the loan LOC2 is not paid in full, the JV shall retain 100% of Goldrich’s distribution and apply against the loan.


On June 23, 2015, the Company raised gross proceeds of $1.2 million through the sale of 12% of the cash flows Goldrich receives in the future from its interest in GNP (“Distribution Interest”) to Chandalar Gold, LLC (“CGL”), a non-related entity. Goldrich retained its ownership of its 50% interest in GNP but, after the transaction, subject to the terms of the GNP operating agreement, Goldrich will effectively receive approximately 44% and CGL will receive 6% (12% of Goldrich’s 50% of GNP = 6%) of any cash distributions produced by GNP.


As part of the purchase, CGL received 2,250,000 Series P Warrants and an option to acquire an additional 10% Distribution Interest in the cash flows Goldrich receives from its interest in GNP. Each Series P Warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of common stock of the Company at $0.07, for a period of five (5) years.


The Distribution Interest option must be exercised before July 1, 2016 to purchase an additional 10% of Goldrich’s future cash flow from GNP in consideration of a one-time cash payment of $1.3 million. Subsequent to the exercise of the option and payment of all commissions, Goldrich would effectively receive, subject to the terms of the GNP operating agreement, approximately 38.5% and CGL would receive 11% (22% of Goldrich’s 50% of GNP = 11%) of any cash distributions produced by GNP.


The lead agent for the sale received a commission equal to 5% of gross proceeds raised, was granted a perpetual undivided 0.5% interest in distributions paid out by GNP to Goldrich, and was issued 1.2 million Series P-2 Warrants. Each Series P-2 Warrant is exercisable into one share of common stock of the Company for a period of five (5) years at a price of $0.05 per share. Should CGL exercise its option, the same fee structure would apply as above, including an additional 0.5% interest in distributions paid out by GNP to Goldrich.


The fair values of the Series P and Series P-2 warrants were estimated on the issue date at $110,250 and $60,000, respectively, using the following weighted average assumptions: 


Risk-free interest rate

 

1.71%

Expected dividend yield

 

0

Expected term (in years)

 

5

Expected volatility

 

141.7%


After applying the costs of sale of $125,164 and recognizing the fair value of the Series P Warrants of $88,644, the Company recognized a gain of $986,192 on the sale of the joint venture cash distribution interest. A relative portion of the costs of sale, or $21,606, were allocated to Additional paid-in capital in proportion of the fair value of the warrants to the total sale price.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS


An amount of $4,969 was accrued for fees due to the Company’s Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) at December 31, 2014.  An amount of $7,438 has been accrued for fees at June 30, 2015. These amounts are included in related party payable.


A total of $46,775 had been accrued for consultants and directors’ fees at December 31, 2014. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company paid $1,000 of directors’ fees and accrued an additional $32,965 for services performed during the period, which is included in accounts payable. During the year ended December 31, 2014, a total of 1,650,000 common shares and 450,000 options to purchase common shares were issued to directors having a total fair value of $96,300, which brought the total consultants and directors’ fees recognized for the year ended December 31, 2014 to $143,075.


5.

NOTE PAYABLE


On January 24, 2014, the Company closed a three-year unsecured senior note financing for $300,000 with a private investment firm (“the lender”). Per the note agreement, the $300,000 is the first of six-staged loans for total aggregate amount of up to $2 million. The note bears interest at 15%, payable at the end of each quarter. Interest of $41,610 had been paid and expensed during the year ended December 31, 2014. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, interest of $22,500 has expensed, of which $11,250 was paid subsequent to the end of the period.


Repayment of all amounts owed under the note is guaranteed by Goldrich Placer LLC, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, which in turn owns a 50% interest in Goldrich NyacAU Placer LLC. See Note 3 Joint Venture. The note contains standard default provisions, including failure to pay interest and principal when due.


Under the terms of the note, the three-year maturity date is measured from the closing date of each loan in the series. The loans will be issued at a 5% discount and, for each loan of the series, the Company will issue 5.25 Class M warrants, exercisable at $0.15 per common share, for each dollar loaned under this agreement. The Company has, at its election, the ability to cancel future loans at any time or prepay the loans together with interest thereon without penalty. The lender reserves the right, at its election, to determine whether to fund Loans 2 through 6 in the series. The Company is required to pay finders fees consisting of a 3% cash commission to parties other than the lender. At the inception of the first note, the Company issued warrants to purchase shares of common stock of the Company equal in number to 8% of the number of dollars of the aggregated loan package (160,000 warrants through December 31, 2014). One percent point of the three percentage points of commissions paid on the 2014 and future cash proceeds were and will be paid to a director of the Company.  Three percentage points of the eight percentage points of the warrants were paid to a director of the Company. The terms of the warrants issued to finders are the same as the warrants issued to the lender.


During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company received the first staged loan of $300,000 less a discount of $15,000, for proceeds of $285,000. In total, the Company issued 1,735,000 Class M warrants, paid finder fees totaling $9,000 to a third party, and incurred other placement costs of $45,511, for a total of $54,511 of deferred finance costs, of which $20,588 remains unamortized at June 30, 2015.


The fair value of warrants issued with the notes payable was estimated at the date of issuance using the Black-Scholes fair value model, which requires the use of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected volatility of the stock price, which may be difficult to estimate for small reporting companies traded on micro-cap stock exchanges.

5.

NOTE PAYABLE, CONTINUED:


The fair value of the warrants was estimated on the issue date at $41,795 using the following weighted average assumptions: 


Risk-free interest rate

 

1.52%

Expected dividend yield

 

0

Expected term (in years)

 

5

Expected volatility

 

157.1%


The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve at the time of the grant. The expected term of warrants issued is from the date of issuance. The expected volatility is based on historical volatility. The Company has evaluated previous low occurrences of warrant forfeitures and believes that current holders of the warrants will hold them to maturity as has been experienced historically; therefore, no variable for forfeiture was used in the calculation of fair value. The Note payable is discounted by the fair value of the warrants, which is then amortized over the life of the note.


At June 30, 2015, the Company had outstanding a total note payable of $300,000 less remaining unamortized discounts of $31,642 for a net liability of $268,358. The lender elected to defer the remaining tranches of the note advances pending the resolution and additional due diligence related to a lien that was placed on our claims in December 2013 by our joint venture partner, which was subsequently released during the quarter ended March 31, 2014. At June 30, 2015, the lender retains the right to lend the contracted amounts of the remaining tranches of the note.


6.

NOTES PAYABLE IN GOLD


During 2013, the Company issued notes in principal amounts totaling $820,000, less a discount of $205,000, for proceeds of $615,000. Under the terms of the notes, the Company agreed to deliver gold to the holders at the lesser of $1,350 per ounce of fine gold or a 25% discount to market price as calculated on the contract date and specify delivery of gold in November 2014. The notes payable in gold contracts contain standard terms regarding delivery and receipt of gold and payment of delivery costs. The Company paid a finder’s fee of $42,000, and incurred other placement costs of $2,143, for a total of $44,143 of deferred finance costs.

 

Additionally, for each dollar of note payable in gold entered, the holder received one half of a common stock purchase warrant. A total of 307,500 warrants were issued. Each whole warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.40 for a period of two years following the date of issue. A portion of the proceeds from the notes were allocated to the warrants, resulting in an increase in additional paid in capital and a discount on the notes payable in gold of $7,590.

 

The fair value of warrants issued with the notes payable in gold was estimated at the date of issuance using the Black-Scholes fair value model, which requires the use of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected volatility of the stock price, which may be difficult to estimate for small reporting companies traded on micro-cap stock exchanges.


At December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2015, the Company had outstanding total notes payable in gold of $576,696, representing 446.788 ounces of fine gold deliverable at November 30, 2015.


As required by ASC 470, the payments required under the original note were compared to the payments required from the notes as amended to determine whether a debt modification or debt extinguishment had occurred. A difference greater than 10% requires the modification to be accounted for as a debt extinguishment.

6.

NOTES PAYABLE IN GOLD, CONTINUED:


In accordance with ASC 470, the Company calculated the potential gain or loss on debt modification or extinguishment. The net carrying amount of debt is the amount due at maturity, adjusted for unamortized premium, discount, and cost of issuance. The reacquisition price of the new or amended debt instrument is the amount satisfied on extinguishment, including any call premium and miscellaneous costs of reacquisition. A difference between the reacquisition price of the debt and the net carrying amount of the extinguished debt was recognized currently in income of the period of extinguishment as losses or gains and identified as a separate item. Gains and losses are not amortized to future periods.


The Company calculated a 22% difference between the carrying value of the original contracted notes of $742,358 and the fair value under the amended notes of $576,696. Because the change in valuation exceeded 10% of the carrying value of the original debt obligation, a gain on extinguishment of debt of $165,662 was recognized for the year ended December 31, 2014.


The Company is not required to purchase gold on the open market to meet delivery obligations. In the event that sufficient gold is not produced to meet future distribution requirements, the Company may be required to renegotiate the terms of the notes with the holders to avoid default. A renegotiation or default may require a change in future accounting treatment to that of derivative accounting as required by ASC 450.

STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY, CONTINUED:


Stock Options and Stock-Based Compensation:


Under the Company’s 2008 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended by shareholder vote on November 27, 2013 (the “Plan”), options to purchase shares of common stock may be granted to key employees, contract management and directors of the Company. The Plan permits the granting of nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options and shares of common stock. Upon exercise of options, shares of common stock are issued from the Company’s treasury stock or, if insufficient treasury shares are available, from authorized but unissued shares. Options are granted at a price equal to the closing price of the common stock on the date of grant. The stock options are generally exercisable immediately upon grant and for a period of 10 years. In the event of cessation of the holder’s relationship with the Company, the holder’s exercise period terminates 90 days following such cessation. The Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 9,550,672 shares of common stock, subject to adjustment for certain events, such as a stock split or other dilutive events. As of June 30, 2015, there were a total of 1,925,672 shares available for grant in the Plan, 4,275,000 shares issued or exercised, and 3,350,000 options outstanding.


For the periods ended June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the fair value of stock options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which requires the use of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected volatility of the stock price, which may be difficult to estimate for small reporting companies traded on micro-cap stock exchanges. The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the grant date using the following weighted average assumptions:


 

2015

2014

Risk-free interest rate

 

--

2.17%

Expected dividend yield

 

--

--

Expected term (in years)

 

--

10

Expected volatility

 

--

143%


The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve at the time of the grant. The expected term of stock options granted is from the date of the grant. The expected volatility is based on historical volatility. The Company has evaluated previous low occurrences of option forfeitures and believes that current holders of the option will hold them to maturity as has been experience historically; therefore, no variable for forfeiture was used in the calculation of fair value.


During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company issued 450,000 options to directors. The fair value of these options was determined using a Black Scholes model, resulting in a fair value of $22,050. The Company also issued 2,700,000 common shares to officers, directors, and employees. These shares were issued at the grant date market price of $0.045 per share, resulting in share based compensation expense of $121,025.

REMEDIATION


In prior years, the Company accrued $50,000 for remediation of a historic mill site. In 2013, the Company accrued an additional $300,000 for the cost of remediation of a mine road and associated disturbance which must be completed by October 2015 per an order issued by the Army Corps of Engineers. In 2014, the Company received a quote from an independent third party to perform the remediation work and accrued an additional $578,000 to cover the anticipated costs of this remediation prior to October 2015. The cost of this remediation is in addition to the asset retirement obligation calculated in previous years and is classified as a current liability. Remediation activities were nearly complete at the end of July 2015, and the Company has reduced the accrued liability by $111,000 for actual cost experience that came in lower than estimated costs yet to be recognized subsequent to the end of the quarter. The accrual of $464,109 and $928,000 respectively at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 is for anticipated costs to remediate a road and associated disturbance and contamination caused by activities of a previous operator next to an inactive mill site.


During the six month period ended June 30, 2105, the Company made payments to the independent third party of $300,000 and incurred internal expenses of $2,891. These amounts were charged to the remediation accrual to apply remediation costs incurred during the period. The Company believes the accrual remaining at June 30, 2015 of $464,109 for the final remediation of the mine road is sufficient to cover anticipated remaining costs.

Critical accounting policies, the policies the Company believes are most important to the presentation of its consolidated financial statements and require the most difficult, subjective and complex judgments are outlined below in “Critical Accounting Policies” and have not changed significantly.


General

Overview

Our Chandalar, Alaska gold mining property has seen over a hundred years of intermittent mining exploration and extraction history. There has been small extraction of gold from several alluvial, or placer gold streams, and from an array of small quartz veins that dot the property. However, only in very recent times is the primary source of the gold becoming evident. As a result of our exploration we have discovered gold in prolific micro-fractures within schist in many places and have petrographic and geochemical evidence linking these and larger vein-hosted gold occurrences to an intrusive source. We are currently defining drilling targets for a hard-rock (lode) gold deposit in an area of interest approximately 1,800 feet wide and over five miles long, possibly



21





underlain by a granitic, mineralized intrusion. Exploration therefore has taken on two directions; one toward defining a low-grade, large tonnage body of mineralization running beneath the headwaters of Little Squaw Creek, the other a deeper, larger mineralized body from which mineralizing fluids have migrated through Chandalar country rock. Our main focus continues to be the exploration of these hard-rock targets; however, since 2012, weak financial markets prevented us from obtaining funds for any significant exploration except we were successful in raising funds for a limited exploration program in 2014.

Because of the weak financial markets suffered by the mining industry in recent years, we endeavored to develop our placer properties as a source of internal cash to protect us from future market fluctuations and to provide funds for future exploration. In 2012, Goldrich and NyacAU LLC (“NyacAU”) formed Goldrich NyacAU Placer LLC (“GNP”), a 50/50 joint-venture company, managed by NyacAU, to mine Goldrich’s various placer properties at Chandalar.

Through 2015, approximately $27 million has been invested to develop the mine. Plant and mine construction for the first stage of extraction are scheduled for completion in the summer of 2015. All costs up to commercial extraction (as defined in the joint venture agreement) are required to be funded by NyacAU and will be paid back from cash flow from gold extraction (as defined in the joint venture agreement).

Goldrich has completed approximately 15,000 feet of drilling to date on the upper half of the Little Squaw Creek placer project and outlined 10.5 million cubic yards of mineralized material, at an average head grade of 0.025 ounces of gold per cubic yard for an estimated total of approximately 250,000 contained ounces. The mineralized material at Chandalar is not a mineral reserve as defined in SEC Industry Guide 7. Based on a targeted extraction rate of 20,000 ounces of gold per year and the mineralized material drilled out to date, the Little Squaw Creek mine would have a mine life of approximately 12 years. Little Squaw Creek is one of seven potential placer targets on the Chandalar property and is open to expansion. Mining operations at the Chandalar mine utilize conventional gravity technologies for gold recovery. All plants will employ a recirculating water system to minimize water usage and protect the environment.

Chandalar Mine

A new mining permit obtained in 2013 expanded the mine site area, including the area for a new airstrip, from approximately 10 to 350 acres. This provided an increased area for stockpiling topsoil, a larger settling pond system with greater capacity to ensure water quality and availability, and room to allow concurrent mine reclamation as the project advances. The new site will facilitate maximum and efficient extraction under the expanded mine plan.

Major accomplishments during 2014 included completion of the plant relocation to a lower and broader part of the valley, construction of new water ponds, and build out of the new expanded plant. GNP successfully mobilized and installed a new grizzly feeder on site as well as support frames for additional gravel screens and gold recovery tables. Full capacity of the feeder is expected to be approximately 600 bank cubic yards per hour and will be realized as additional gravel screens and gold recovery tables are added in stages through 2016.

Joint Venture 2015 Mining Season, Estimates and Operations, Sale of Distribution Interest:

In 2015, GNP began the winter trail in February and complete it in April. Included in the new equipment delivered over the winter trail, GNP transported seven additional forty-ton rock trucks to the mine site, increasing the fleet total to thirteen in all. From March 2015 through June 2015, GNP recommenced removing overburden and removed approximately 780,000 yards. This is in addition to the opening of an initial pit and the 1,800 foot haul road which were completed in prior years. Mining of pay gravel is anticipated to start in July and initial gold processing is planned for August 2015. Final construction of ponds and the complete wash plant has taken longer than projected. Subject to weather, the plant is expected to run through mid-September.

Goldrich has not completed an independent study to confirm the information provided by NyacAU. While management believes it has a reasonable scientific basis for these projections based on past extraction activities at the property and anticipated volumes and average grades, these projections are not based on a feasibility level study of the alluvial gold extraction mining and are subject to certain risks, including those set forth under “Item 1A. Risk Factors”.

Sale of Distribution Interest in GNP:


On June 23, 2015, we raised gross proceeds of $1.2 million through the sale of 12% of the cash flows we receive in the future from our interest in GNP (“Distribution Interest”) to Chandalar Gold, LLC (“CGL”), a non-related entity. We retained our ownership of our 50% interest in GNP but, after the transaction, subject to the terms of the GNP operating agreement, we will effectively receive approximately 44% and CGL will receive 6% (12% of Goldrich’s 50% of GNP = 6%) of any cash distributions produced by GNP.

As part of the purchase, CGL received 2,250,000 Series P Warrants. Each Series P Warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of our common stock at $0.07, for a period of five (5) years.

CGL also received an option to acquire an additional 10% Distribution Interest in the cash flows we receive from our interest in GNP. The Distribution Interest option must be exercised before July 1, 2016 to purchase an additional 10% of our future cash flow from GNP in consideration of a one-time cash payment of $1.3 million. Subsequent to the exercise of the option and payment of all commissions, we would effectively receive, subject to the terms of the GNP operating agreement, approximately 38.5% and CGL would receive 11% (22% of Goldrich’s 50% of GNP = 11%) of any cash distributions produced by GNP.



23





The lead agent for the sale received a commission equal to 5% of gross proceeds raised, was granted a perpetual undivided 0.5% interest in distributions paid out by GNP to us, and was issued 1.2 million Series P-2 Warrants. Each Series P-2 Warrant is exercisable into one share of our common stock for a period of five (5) years at a price of $0.05 per share. Should CGL exercise its option, the same fee structure would apply as above, including an additional 0.5% interest in distributions paid out by GNP to Goldrich.

After applying the costs of sale of $125,164, recognizing the fair value of the Series P and P-2 Warrants of a combined $170,250 and the value of gain on the sale of the Distribution Interest option of $12,000, we recognized a gain of $892,586 on the sale of the Distribution Interest. A relative portion of the costs of sale, or $17,758, were allocated to Additional paid-in capital in proportion of the fair value of the warrants to the total sale price, resulting in a net gain recognized of $922,344 on the sale of the joint venture cash distribution interest.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We are an exploration stage company and have incurred losses since our inception. We currently do not have sufficient cash to support the Company through 2015 and beyond. We anticipate that we will incur approximately $650,000 for general operating expenses over the next 12 months as of June 30, 2015. In addition to these general operating expenses, we will incur approximately $464,000 of reclamation costs to complete the reclaim of a dump road and tailings during the third quarter of 2015. We will need to raise approximately $1.3 million to $1.7 million in the next 12 months to completely fund our planned exploration expenditures and general working capital requirements. The Company plans to raise the financing through a combination of debt and/or equity placements, sale of mining property interests, and revenue from the joint venture placer operation. Failure to raise needed financing could result in us having to scale back or discontinue exploration activities or some or all of our business operations. Under the joint venture operating agreement, revenue is allocated in accordance with the 5-point schedule outlined in the section Joint Venture Agreement above. In addition, if the minimum production requirement as defined by the operating agreement is not met for years beginning in 2016 and each year thereafter, subject to a 3-year average minimum production requirement as explained in the operating agreement, the joint venture shall be dissolved unless agreed in writing by the members.

During 2013, we issued notes payable in gold totaling $820,000, less a discount of $205,000, for proceeds of $615,000. On October 22, 2014, the Company delivered 12.405 oz. to one gold note holder and renegotiated terms with the other holders. For more information see Notes Payable in Gold below.

During the year 2014, Goldrich completed financings totaling approximately $1.9 million consisting of an equity financing for $200,000 in January 2014, a three-year loan of $300,000 in January 2014, and other equity financings in June and July totaling approximately $1.4 million.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2015, the Company completed the first tranche of an equity financing for proceeds of $239,193. A second tranche of the equity financing for net proceeds of $10,000 was completed on April 7, 2015.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2015, we sold a 12% interest in future cash flows distributed from GNP, as described above in Joint Venture 2015 Mining Season, Estimates and Operations, Sale of Distribution Interest. As a result, we received gross proceeds of $1.2 million and net proceeds of $1,074,836 after deducting costs of sale and recognized net gain on the sale of $986,192.

If we are unable to timely satisfy our obligations under the notes payable in gold due November 2015, the interest on the unsecured senior note due quarterly, or the principal of the unsecured senior note due in 2017 and we are not able to re-negotiate the terms of such agreements, the holders will have rights against us, including potentially seizing or selling our assets.  The notes payable in gold are secured against our right to future distributions of gold extracted by our joint venture with NyacAU. At June 30, 2015, we had outstanding total notes payable in gold of $576,696, representing 446.788 ounces of fine gold deliverable at November 30, 2015.  



24





Although the current capital markets and general economic conditions in the United States may be obstacles to raising the required financing, we believe we will be able to secure sufficient financing for further operations and exploration activities of our Company but we cannot give assurance we will be successful in attracting financing on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Additionally, as the placer mine nears completion, we look forward to internal cash flow and additional options for financing appear to be coming available. To increase its access to financial markets, Goldrich intends to also seek a listing of its shares on a recognized stock exchange in Canada in addition to its listing on the OTCQB in the United States.

The audit opinion and notes that accompany our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014, disclose a ‘going concern’ qualification to our ability to continue in business. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern. We are an exploration stage company and we have incurred losses since our inception. We do not have sufficient cash to fund normal operations and meet debt obligations for the next 12 months without deferring payment on certain current liabilities and raising additional funds. We believe that the going concern condition cannot be removed with confidence until the Company has entered into a business climate where funding of its activities is more assured.


We currently have no historical recurring source of revenue and our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to raise capital to fund our future exploration and working capital requirements or our ability to profitably execute our business plan. Our plans for the long-term return to and continuation as a going concern include financing our future operations through sales of our common stock and/or debt and the eventual profitable exploitation of its mining properties. Additionally, the current capital markets and general economic conditions in the United States are significant obstacles to raising the required funds. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.


On October 10, 2013, we reported GNP had extracted approximately 680 ounces of gold during the construction of the mine before closing out the 2013 season. Sale of the gold provided $918,000 in revenue to GNP. No extraction occurred in 2014 as construction of the mine was completed with extraction planned to resume in August 2015. A successful mining operation may provide the long-term financial strength for the Company to remove the going concern condition in future years. For more information see Joint Venture Agreement above.


The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. If the going concern basis were not appropriate for these financial statements, adjustments would be necessary in the carrying value of assets and liabilities, the reported expenses and the balance sheet classifications used.



Results of Operations


On June 30, 2015 we had total liabilities of $2,187,199 and total assets of $1,906,781. This compares to total liabilities of $2,427,835 and total assets of $1,186,851 on December 31, 2014. As of June 30, 2015, our liabilities consist of $817,337 for remediation and asset retirement obligations, $576,696 of notes payable in gold, $268,358 of notes payable, $379,047 of trade payables and accrued liabilities, $123,678 due to related parties, and $22,083 for dividends payable. Of these liabilities, $1,565,613 is due within 12 months. The increase in liabilities compared to December 31, 2014 is largely due to an increase in trade and related party payables, offset by reductions to reclamation payable as work has progressed on that activity during the quarter ended June 30, 2015. The increase in total assets was due to increase in funds received from financing during the quarter ended March 31, 2015, which was largely used to fund remediation activities being performed during the summer of 2015, and the sale of a cash distribution interest from future joint venture cash flows in the quarter ended June 30, 2015.

On June 30, 2015 we had negative working capital of $368,595 and a stockholders’ deficit of $280,418 compared to negative working capital of $1,391,311 and stockholders’ deficit of $1,240,984 for the year ended



25





December 31, 2014. Working capital position improved dramatically due to 1) capital raised during the period approximated our operating costs and debt payments, reduction of accrued remediation due to actual remediation costs being lower than estimates, and 3) the sale of the cash distribution interest during the period end June 30, 2015. The stockholders’ deficit position improved due to the gain recognized on the sale of the distribution interest, offset somewhat by an operating loss that exceeded revenues generated by the sale of common stock for the period ended June 30, 2015.

During the six months ended June 30, 2015, we used cash from operating activities of $566,346 compared to cash used of $781,697 for 2014. Operating losses decreased year over year due to decreases in depreciation of equipment sold in prior years, reduced mine preparation and oversight costs, reduced remediation expense, and reduced legal fees as a result of decreased activity in legal action and deferred efforts to qualify for listing on a Canadian exchange. Net operating income of $622,729 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and net operating losses of $679,599 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 included significant non-cash expenses, including a gain from the sale of the 12% joint venture cash distribution interest in the most recent six-month period, depreciation of $45,014 and $99,193 and amortization of discounts on debt of $11,190 and $70,747 for the respective periods.

During the six months ended June 30, 2015, cash of $1,074,836, net of offering costs, was provided from the sale of the 12% joint venture cash distribution interest. There were no cash activities from investing in the period ended June 30, 2014.

During the six months ended June 30, 2015, cash of $249,193 was provided by financing activities, compared to cash of $1,566,453 provided during the same period of 2014. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, cash of $249,193 was provided through the sale of stock and warrants, net of offering costs.

Private Placement Offerings


Unit Private Placement

On March 31, 2015, we completed the first tranche of the private placement consisting of 4,800,000 units issued at a price of $0.05 per unit and resulted in net proceeds of $239,193.  A second tranche of 200,000 units at the same price per unit for net proceeds of $10,000 was completed on April 7, 2015. Each unit consist of one share of our common stock and one full share Class O warrant.  Each full Class O warrant is exercisable to purchase one additional common share of the Company at $0.06, for a period of five years following the date of issue.  

Notes Payable


During the year ended December 31, 2014, we received the first staged loan of $300,000 less a discount of $15,000, for proceeds of $285,000. We issued 1,735,000 Class M warrants, paid finder fees totaling $9,000, and incurred other placement costs of $45,511, for a total of $54,511 of deferred finance costs.


The fair value of warrants issued with the notes payable in gold was estimated at the date of issuance using the Black-Scholes fair value model, which requires the use of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected volatility of the stock price, which may be difficult to estimate for small reporting companies traded on micro-cap stock exchanges.


The fair value of the warrants was estimated on the issue date using the following weighted average assumptions: 


Risk-free interest rate

 

1.52%

Expected dividend yield

 

0

Expected term (in years)

 

5

Expected volatility

 

157.1%




The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve at the time of the grant. The expected term of warrants issued is from the date of issuance. The expected volatility is based on historical volatility. The Company has evaluated previous low occurrences of warrant forfeitures and believes that current holders of the warrants will hold them to maturity as has been experienced historically; therefore, no variable for forfeiture was used in the calculation of fair value. Each stage of the Note payable is discounted by the fair value of the warrants, which is then amortized over the life of the note.


At June 30, 2015, we had outstanding total notes payable of $300,000 less remaining unamortized discounts of $31,642 for a net liability of $268,358. The lender elected to defer the remaining tranches of the note advances pending the resolution and additional due diligence related to a lien that was placed on our claims in December 2013 by our joint venture partner, which was subsequently released during the quarter ended March 31, 2014. At June 30, 2015, the lender retains the right to lend the contracted amounts of the remaining tranches of the note.


Notes Payable in Gold

On April 3, 2013, we entered into notes payable in gold totaling approximately $600,000, with gold ounces calculated at a 25% discount to market price on the date of sale. A total of approximately 500 ounces of gold was contracted for delivery to note holders in November 2014. A finder's fee of 7% of the proceeds was paid to independent parties. For each dollar loaned under these notes payable in gold, the holder also received one half of a common stock purchase warrant. Each whole warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.40 for a period of two years following the date of issue. In the event that our shares of common stock trade in the United States at a closing price of greater than $1.00 per share for a period of 10 consecutive trading days at any time following the issuance of the warrants, we have the right to force exercise of the warrants. Proceeds from the forward gold sales will be used primarily for general corporate purposes.


On October 22, 2014, we delivered 12.405 ounces of fine gold to one note holder and renegotiated terms with the other holders. This gold was purchased and delivered outside the original contract, which required delivery of produced gold, to settle the default condition with this note holder. We paid $1,244.74 per ounce on the date of delivery. A default condition arising from the non-delivery of the gold in 2014 was alleviated by agreements with the other three note holders to extend the delivery date of gold to November 30, 2015, with the following terms:


Ten percent (10%) (rounded up to the nearest ounce of gold) of the required quantity of gold due on the delivery date of November 30, 2014 was delivered as required pursuant to the contract.  In lieu of gold, we could elect to satisfy the delivery of the deliverable required quantity by paying, an amount equal to the deliverable required quantity times the greater of the original purchase price or the index price for the day preceding the date of payment. We agreed to pay interest on the value of the delayed delivery required quantity at an annual percentage rate of 8% payable quarterly with any remaining interest due and payable on the delivery date.  Interest is non-compounding, provided however, that any interest not paid in full by any required interest payment date, is added to the principal amount of the value of the delayed delivery required quantity and is subject to interest until such late interest payment is made in full.  If the delivery date index price on November 30, 2015 is less than the original purchase price, an additional adjusted required amount, equal to the delayed delivery required quantity multiplied by a ratio, consisting of the original purchase price as the numerator and the greater of $1,100 or the delivery date index price on November 30, 2015 as the denominator, less the delayed delivery required quantity, shall be delivered by December 31, 2015.   


At December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2015, we had outstanding total notes payable in gold of $576,696, representing 446.788 ounces of fine gold deliverable at November 30, 2015.

Critical Accounting Policies

We have identified our critical accounting policies, the application of which may materially affect the financial statements, either because of the significance of the financials statement item to which they relate, or because they require management’s judgment in making estimates and assumptions in measuring, at a specific point in time, events which will be settled in the future. The critical accounting policies, judgments and estimates which management believes have the most significant effect on the financial statements are set forth below:

·

Estimates of the recoverability of the carrying value of our mining and mineral property assets. We use publicly available pricing or valuation estimates of comparable property and equipment to assess the carrying value of our mining and mineral property assets. However, if future results vary materially from the assumptions and estimates used by us, we may be required to recognize an impairment in the assets’ carrying value.

·

Expenses and disclosures associated with accounting for stock-based compensation. We used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair market value of stock options issued under our stock-based compensation plan, which determines the recognition of associated compensation expense. This valuation model requires the use of judgment in applying assumptions of risk-free interest rate, stock price volatility and the expected life of the options. While we believe we have applied appropriate judgment in the assumptions and estimates, variations in judgment in applying assumptions and estimates used in this valuation could have a material effect upon the reported operating results.

·

Estimates of our environmental liabilities. Our potential obligations in environmental remediation, asset retirement obligations or reclamation activities are considered critical due to the assumptions and estimates inherent in accruals of such liabilities, including uncertainties relating to specific reclamation and remediation methods and costs, the application and changing of environmental laws, regulations and interpretations by regulatory authorities.

·

Accounting for Investments in Joint Ventures. For joint ventures in which we do not have joint control or significant influence, the cost method is used. Under the cost method, these investments are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. For those joint ventures in which there is joint control between the parties and in which we have significant influence, the equity method is utilized whereby our share of the ventures’ earnings and losses is included in the statement of operations as earnings in joint ventures and our investments therein are adjusted by a similar amount. We have no significant influence over our joint venture described in Note 5 Joint Ventures to the financial statements, and therefore account for our investment using the cost method. For joint ventures where we hold more than 50% of the voting interest and has significant influence, the joint venture is consolidated with the presentation of a

non-controlling interest. In determining whether significant influence exists, we consider our participation in policy-making decisions and our representation on the venture’s management committee. We currently have no joint venture of this nature.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures


At the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision of, and with the participation of, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a – 15(e) and Rule 15d – 15(e) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)).
