Goldrich Mining Company
(An Exploration Stage 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 three-month period ended March 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2012.
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, 2011.
Net Loss Per Share
Basic EPS is computed as net income available to common shareholders after dividends to preferred shareholders, divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through stock options, warrants, and other convertible debt and securities. The dilutive effect of vested convertible and exercisable securities would be:
| March 31, | March 31, |
| For periods ended | 2012 | 2011 |
| Convertible preferred stock | 1,050,000 | 1,050,000 |
| Stock options | 3,570,000 | 3,065,000 |
| Warrants | 33,542,130 | 5,851,803 |
| Total possible dilution | 38,162,130 | 9,966,803 |

For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011, the effect of the Company’s outstanding options and common stock equivalents would have been anti-dilutive.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to conform prior periods’ presentation to the current presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on the results of operations or stockholders’ equity.
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, fair value of warrants, and deferred tax assets and related valuation allowances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair Value Measures
Our financial instruments consist principally of cash and equipment notes payable. These instruments do not require recurring re-measurement at fair value.

GOING CONCERN
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company is an exploration stage company and has incurred losses since its inception and does not have sufficient cash at March 31, 2012 to fund normal operations and meet debt obligations for the next 12 months.
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 a mining plan. The Company’s plans for the long-term return to and continuation as a going concern include financing the Company’s future operations through sales of its 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 the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
As described in Note 8 Subsequent Events, the Company has entered into a joint venture agreement which will provide approximately $8.5 million of financing in the form of loans, funded expenses, capital equipment purchases and common stock purchases to fund mining activities on the Company’s alluvial deposits. Of this amount, $350,000 of common stock purchases has been completed prior to the filing of this report. The completion of this funding and a successful mining operation may provide the long-term financial strength for the Company to exit the going concern condition in future years.
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 was 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.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
A total of $11,338 interest is payable at March 31, 2012 to the Company’s former Chief Operating Officer in connection with the settlement of notes payable in gold settled in 2011 and $10,029 is payable to this officer in connection with consulting work that he provided during the three months ended March 31, 2012. These amounts are included in related party payable.
An amount of $11,628 had been accrued for fees due to the Company’s Chief Financial Officer at December 31, 2011. This total was paid in cash during 2012, and at March 31, 2012, $7,763 had been accrued for services performed during the three months ended March 31, 2012. This amount is included in related party payable.
A total of $28,900 had been accrued for directors fees at December 31, 2011. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, an additional $6,400 has been accrued for services performed during the period, for a total of $35,300 which is included in accounts payable.
4.
NOTES PAYABLE IN GOLD
During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company settled all notes payable in gold as described below. After settlement, the Company had no further obligations under the notes payable in gold except $22,555 of accrued interest due under notes satisfied by delivery of gold. The total loss recognized for settlement for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $1,946,684, of which $1,623,489 was recognized in the quarter ended March 31, 2011.

Stock-Based Compensation:
During 2011, the Company issued 545,000 options to employees and contractors working at our Chandalar property. Vesting milestones occurred in the Company’s fourth quarter of 2011 at which time 40,000 options were forfeited. The fair value of these options was determined using a Black Scholes model, resulting in a total fair value of $85,191 for these options. Of this value, $62,279 was recognized in the fourth quarter of 2011, when service and vesting milestones were reached.
For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company recognized share-based compensation for employees of $8,371 and $11,712, respectively. There remains $14,541 of unrecognized share-based compensation to be recognized over the coming four quarters.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company has a royalty commitment on claims purchased from the Anderson family. The Company is obligated to pay 2% of gold it mines from these claims to the Anderson partnership. The Company may, at its election, purchase the royalty from the Anderson Partnership no later than June 23, 2013 for a payment of $250,000. If the Company elects to purchase the royalty once notice has been given, payment is due within 30 days.
During 2009 and 2010 the Company engaged in permitted open pit mining operations on Little Squaw Creek. The Small Mines permit on Little Squaw Creek restricts ground disturbance to a total maximum of ten acres and requires a specified reclamation plan for the disturbed area to be completed prior to additional acreage being disturbed. Reclamation bonding is mandatory for mines involving ground disturbances of more than five acres. The Company’s mining operations, including all associated infrastructures, have to-date disturbed approximately forty-six acres. The Company participates in the State Wide Bonding Pool for small miners, and has posted bonds for twenty acres of disturbance. Consequently, the Company is currently not in compliance with its Small Mines permit for Little Squaw Creek. The Company intends to achieve mining permit compliance by getting the Small Mines permit upgraded to, or re-issued as, an Individual Permit, which is required for all mining operations covering more than ten acres. An Individual Permit allows for as much mining ground disturbance as needed but the application process is more costly and time consuming and there is no guarantee that the Company will be granted an Individual Permit. The Company does not anticipate incurring any penalty for no longer being in compliance with the Small Mines permit. However, further expansion of Little Squaw Creek will be delayed until the Company obtains an Individual Permit. Until the Company obtains an Individual Permit for the Little Squaw Creek, the Company’s ability to produce gold at Little Squaw Creek will be restricted. This could impact the 2012 mining season.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On April 3, 2012, we signed a binding Letter of Intent (“LOI”) to create a joint-venture company with NyacAU, LLC (“NyacAU”), an Alaskan private company, to bring our Chandalar placer gold properties in Alaska into production. Under the terms of the LOI, NyacAU will provide a funding package of loans and equity that, subject to the timing of production, are estimated to total approximately $8.5 million as described below. The loans are to be repaid to NyacAU from Goldrich’s share of future gold production by the joint venture.
On May 2, 2012, we signed the definitive agreement to create a joint-venture company with Nyac Gold, LLC. (“Nyac Gold”). GNP is the 50/50 joint-venture company formed by Goldrich and NyacAU and managed by NyacAU to mine our various placer properties at Chandalar.
As part of the Agreement, Goldrich and Nyac Gold, LLC formed a 50:50 joint venture, Goldrich NyacAU Placer, LLC (“GNP”), to operate the Chandalar placer mines, with Nyac Gold, LLC acting as managing partner. Once all loans have been repaid and working capital and budgeted reserves have been established, profits from the placer production will be paid out on a 50:50 basis to each of GNP’s partners. The Agreement covers production from all placers on Goldrich’s Chandalar property including, but not limited to, Little Squaw Creek, Big Squaw Creek, Big Creek and Tobin Creek, as well as all future properties within two miles of these claims or within the creek drainages to their termination that come from the Chandalar claim block.
Concurrent with signing the Agreement, Goldrich formed Goldrich Placer LLC subsidiary and entered into a Lease Agreement (the “Lease”) with Goldrich Placer LLC for the exclusive right and license to explore for, develop, mine and control all placer gold located on or extracted from all of Goldrich’s mining claims at its Chandalar property. The Lease then includes an assignment of rights, title, interest responsibilities and obligations under the lease to GNP. The Lease shall continue until the cessation of operations, as defined in the Lease, or dissolution of GNP. The annual payment from Goldrich Placer LLC to Goldrich under the Lease is ten dollars ($10 US). Under terms of the operating agreement, GNP must meet minimum investment and production requirements.
NyacAU’s funding includes an effectively non-interest bearing loan to GNP, sufficient in amount to bring the placers at Chandalar into commercial production. This amount is currently estimated to total $7.2 million, subject to timing of production, consisting of approximately $3.6 million for start-up costs, $2.4 million for capital expenditures for mining equipment as well as $1.2 million loaned to GNP and then paid to Goldrich to purchase mining equipment currently owned by Goldrich. Upon completion of loan advances, Goldrich will be secondarily responsible for repayment of 50% of the loan balances as a result of its 50% ownership of GNP, and repayment will be effected by distributing Goldrich’s portion of GNP earnings to NyacAU until the loan is paid in full. The loan will earn interest to NyacAU at the applicable short-term federal rate, currently 0.25%, but is effectively a non-interest bearing loan from Goldrich’s standpoint, as Goldrich will receive a special payment from GNP equal to the interest paid by GNP to NyacAU for Goldrich’s 50% ownership share of this loan. NyacAU has also agreed to advance Goldrich $0.95 million at the greater of prime plus 2% or 10% interest for direct drilling costs as part of Goldrich’s 2012 exploration program with Blackrock Drilling, a drilling company in which the owners of NyacAU have a majority interest. The balance of the funding package, $0.35 million, is to be provided by an equity financing for the purchase shares of Goldrich’s common stock by NyacAU. The price per share in the equity financing is $0.148 per share the 90-day weighted volume average price of Goldrich stock on the last business day proceeding the signing of the definitive documents for the joint venture agreement.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS, CONTINUED
A summary of the financing package is as follows:
| Estimated 2012 Start-up Costs funding to GNP | $3,600,000 |
| Estimated Capital Expenditures through GNP | 2,400,000 |
| Estimated Purchase of Equipment from Goldrich through GNP | 1,200,000 |
| Total Loan from NyacAU to GNP with Interest at 0.25%, for which Goldrich is 50% secondarily responsible as a result of its 50% ownership of GNP. Goldrichs share of future distributions from GNP income totaling $3,600,000 will be made to NyacAU to satisfy this loan. | 7,200,000 |
| Loan from NyacAU to Goldrich with Interest at greater of prime plus 2% or 10% for exploration drilling. Goldrichs share of future distributions from GNP income totaling $950,000 will be made to NyacAU to satisfy this loan. | 950,000 |
| To Be Paid Back by GNP From Production, a total of $4,550,000 will be made from Goldrichs share of future distributions of GNP income | 8,150,000 |
| Equity Financing - Purchase shares of Goldrichs Common Stock | 350,000 |
| Total Financing, of which $2,500,000 will be received by Goldrich to finance its 2012 exploration program and general corporate expenses | $8,500,000 |

The total amount financed by NyacAU will be affected by timing of payback from production. GNP will commence payments to NyacAU as soon as production begins. Subject to permitting, preparation for mining is expected to begin in June 2012.
In addition to the funding noted above, NyacAU has the option to lend GNP $0.25 million to purchase a 2% royalty that is currently on all production from certain Goldrich mining claims. The loan would carry interest at the greater of prime plus 2% or 10% and would be repaid from Goldrich’s portion of production. Goldrich would also have the exclusive right to purchase back the royalty at any time. The royalty would be extinguished upon payback of the loan or purchase by Goldrich.
NyacAU, LLC is owned by the family of Dr. J. Michael James, which is also the owner of Nyac Gold LLC, one of the largest producers of placer gold in Alaska. As manager of NyacAU, Dr. James will be granted 300,000 five-year stock options at an exercise price of $0.20 per share from Goldrich’s employee stock incentive program.

Chandalar, Alaska
The Chandalar gold property is currently our main mineral property. It is an exploration stage property. We were attracted to the Chandalar district because of its similarities to productive mining districts, its past positive exploration results, and the opportunity to control multiple attractive gold quartz-vein prospects and adjacent unexplored target areas for large sediment hosted disseminated gold deposits. The gold potential of the Chandalar district is enhanced by similarities to important North American mesothermal or orogenic gold deposits, a common attribute being a tendency for the mineralization to continue for up to a mile or more at depth, barring structural offset. We believe that our dominant land control eliminates the risk of a potential competitor finding ore deposits located within adjacent claims. Summarily, the scale, number and frequency of the Chandalar district gold-bearing exposures and geochemical anomalies compare favorably to similar attributes of productive mining districts.
Going forward, our primary focus is development of our hard-rock (lode) exploration targets at Chandalar. Subject to sufficient financing, we plan a 15,000-foot diamond-core drilling program for the 2012 summer field season on the hard-rock exploration targets which are believed to be the sources of the alluvial gold. Drill hole depths would range from 300 to 700 feet, and the holes would be spread along a five-mile-long mineralized trend that our geological work has identified. The drilling targets are derived from concepts developed from the
13
technical data that point to the discovery potential for huge, low grade orogenic gold deposits. The Chandalar mineralization can best be classified as orogenic owing to the finely disseminated nature of the gold, close association with sulfides and deposition within a carbon-rich sedimentary host (Mikado phyllite). The phyllite is highly deformed as a result of tectonic processes. The original sedimentary rocks have been successively altered by multiple phases of metamorphic and hydrothermal alteration which has remobilized gold within the original carbonaceous sediments into axial fold structures, faults and quartz veins.
The Company maintains an extensive file of the prospecting and exploration of the Chandalar Mining district, cataloging documents dated as early as 1904. Most previous work was by mining companies and individuals who were focused on mining the gold placers and quartz veins but who conducted little systematic geologically-based exploration, which was focused on known vein exposures. There is no reliable accounting of the exploration expenditures over the entire hundred-year period; however, since we (new management) acquired the Company in 2003, $2.468 million of qualifying assessment work has been accomplished (excludes infrastructure, capital equipment, transport cost, and office support). In addition to work performed in the 2011 field season noted below, we completed two drill programs, a 7,763-foot reverse circulation, 39-hole reconnaissance-level lode exploration drill program in 2006 and a 15,304-foot, 107-hole reverse circulation placer evaluation drill program in 2007. We also geologically mapped about 40 identified prospect areas; collected and analyzed approximately 1,400 soil, 1,400 rock, 70 stream sediment and 11 water samples; completed a program of 45 trenches consisting of 5,937 feet, of which 4,954 feet was exposed bedrock, and collected of about 550 trench-wall channel samples; completed ground magnetometer survey grids of 15 prospect areas. We have collected and assayed a total of 3,431 surface samples at Chandalar. In addition, approximately 4,500 drill samples have been analyzed.
The Chandalar district has a history of prior production, but there has been only intermittent production over the years. Our 2007 exploration work discovered and partially drilled out a large placer gold deposit in the Little Squaw Creek drainage. In 2009, we opened the Little Squaw Creek Gold Mine as a test project. Favorable results led to the expansion of the mine in 2010.Production to date during the startup phase of the Little Squaw Creek Gold Mine amounts to 2,022 ounces of fine gold. This deposit is geologically characterized as an aggradational placer gold deposit. It is unusual in the sense that it is the only such known aggradational alluvial (or placer), gold deposit in Alaska, although many exist in Siberia. Our discovery contrasts to others in Alaska that are commonly known as bedrock placer gold deposits. Aggradational alluvial gold deposits contain gold particles disseminated through thick sections of unconsolidated stream gravels in contrast to bedrock placer deposits where thin, rich gold-bearing gravel pay streaks rest directly on bedrock surfaces. Aggradational placer gold deposits are generally more uniform and thus more conducive to bulk mining techniques permitting economies of scale. This contrasts with bedrock placer gold deposits where gold distribution tends to be erratic and highly variable. The plan view of our discovery is somewhat funnel-shaped, and as such has been divided into two distinct geomorphological zones: the Gulch, or narrower channel portion, and the Fan, or broad alluvial apron portion.
In 2011, we completed a diamond core drilling campaign along with a property-wide, grid-based soil sampling and a detailed airborne magnetometer survey. We completed a 25-hole, 4,404-meter (14,444-foot) exploratory program, using HQ size core, and tested six prospect areas (see map below) located along a 4-km (2.5-mile) long northeast trending belt of gold showings.
The results of the 2011 drill program are detailed in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.
The 2011 drilling results draw the Company to focus on two prospects – Aurora and Rock Glacier- which we believe are geologically associated and related to the same controlling mineralizing features. Intercepts include:
·
1.5 meters (5.0 feet) at 6.57 g/t Au in Hole LS11-0063 on the Aurora prospect;
·
2.1 meters (7.0 feet) at 6.02 g/t Au in Hole LS11-0041 on Rock Glacier
These and other intercepts are associated with much longer core runs of strongly anomalous gold (> 0.10 g/t Au) between 4.3 meters (14 feet) and 21.3 meters (70 feet) in length. Also worth noting, while constructing a
14
road to a proposed drill site, the Company encountered two zones of shearing with sheeted and stockwork quartz veinlets, approximately 5 meters (16 feet) and 15 meters (49 feet) wide. These zones are located 135 meters vertically above and 200 meters southwest of Aurora drill holes #61 to #64. Representative continuous chip sampling of these zones yielded assays of 2.8 g/t gold and 2.1 g/t gold, respectively. The Company believes the mineralized Aurora drill hole intercepts may represent an extension of these zones and that additional drilling could extend these zones even further.
The extensive wide-spread precious metal system at Chandalar is hosted by carbonaceous, pyrrhotite-arsenopyrite-pyrite bearing schist. Significantly, extensive intercepts of hydrothermal alteration manifested by intense chloritization and strong silicification of the schist are associated with the mineralization, and are often geochemically anomalous (> 0.05 g/t) in gold as well. The gold mineralization is believed to be mainly controlled by fractures and shears of various orientations within the schist. Mineralized intercepts have now been intersected by drilling over a vertical elevation difference of 550 meters (1,800 feet), with the lowest exposure being in the northeast at the Aurora prospect which is close to the Little Squaw alluvial gold deposit. The metamorphic strata hosting the gold are severely eroded at the higher elevations and either dip to the north or are down faulted, or both.
Map 1 – Location of the Chandalar, Alaska Mining District
Additional core drilling is necessary to assess the continuity and extent of outcropping and any projection from the gold-mineralized intercepts as well as determine the limits of the mineralizing system. In addition to drilling, the 2011 Chandalar gold exploration program included a grid soil sampling survey consisting of 1,153 samples for multi-element analyses. The airborne magnetometer program was flown along lines spaced 330 feet (100 meters) apart for 750 line miles (1,246 line kilometers) by Fugro Geophysical, generating the total magnetic field strength map for the entire Chandalar property. The Company’s geological field crews did the
15
reconnaissance grid soil sample program, taking the samples on a 330 foot (100 meters) by 1,300 foot (400 meter) or larger grid that covers about 11 square miles (about 28 sq. km), or about half the Chandalar property. The samples were then assayed for gold and other elements with the gold plotted in parts per billion (ppb) on the map. Scientific evaluation of the large amount of data generated by these surveys is ongoing with the purpose of better delineating known drilling targets and outlining new ones.

Joint Venture Agreement
Subsequent to quarter ended March 31, 2012, on April 3, 2012, we signed an agreement with NyacAU to form a joint venture for the purpose of mining the alluvial gold deposits within the bounds of our Chandalar property. The agreement provides financing approximately $8.5 million of financing for bringing the alluvial deposit on Little Squaw Creek into production as well as financing the drilling activities of our 2012 exploration program. The terms of the agreement are described below in Subsequent Events.
Location, Access & Geography of Chandalar
The Chandalar mining district lies north of the Arctic Circle at latitude 67°30'. The district is about 190 air miles north of Fairbanks, Alaska and 48 air miles east-northeast of Coldfoot (see Map 1). The center of the district is approximately 70 miles north of the Arctic Circle. Access to our Chandalar mining camp at Squaw Lake is either by aircraft from Fairbanks, or during the winter season via a 100-mile-long ice road from Coldfoot through the community of Chandalar Lake to Squaw Lake.

For a complete description of the access & geography of Chandalar please see our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.
Chandalar Mining Claims
We have a block of contiguous mining claims at Chandalar that cover a net area of about 22,858 acres (approximately 35.7 square miles) (Map 2), and which are maintained by us specifically for the exploration and possible exploitation of placer and lode gold deposits. The mining claims were located to secure most of the known gold bearing zones occurring within an area approximately five miles by eight miles. Within the claim block, we own in fee simple 426.5 acres as twenty-one federal lode claims, one patented federal placer claim, and one patented federal mill site. The 23 federal patented claims cover the most important of the known gold-bearing structures. In addition, there are 197 Traditional and MTRSC 40-acre State of Alaska. The 197 Traditional and MTRSC state mining claims provide exploration and mining rights to both lode and placer mineral deposits on an additional 22,432 acres of unpatented claims. Unlike federal mining claims, State of Alaska mining claims cannot be patented, but the locator has the exclusive right of possession and extraction of the minerals in or on the claim.

A complete technical description of the Chandalar mining district, its geology and mineralization is included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. In Map 3 above, we present graphical representation of both hard rock prospects and alluvial fans on which we are focusing varying degrees of exploration effort, as determined by exploration activities already completed in prior years.
For a complete description of prior years’ exploration activities, and the interpretations of exploration and drilling activities please see our Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, 2009 and previous years.
2012 Exploration and Mining Plans
In 2012, we plan to continue our drilling plan which we began in 2011, modified to reflect data acquired in the 2011 field season. Our principal exploration target is the newly identified hard-rock stratabound gold target. Subject to obtaining sufficient financing, a 15,000-foot diamond-core drilling program consisting of approximately 20 to 25 drill holes to explore this structure is planned for the 2012 summer field season. The drilling would test a zone of schist, or sequence of schist beds, that our geologists have identified as fertile for discovery of a stratabound type of gold deposit. Our targeted drilling area is approximately 1,800 feet wide and over five miles long, where it ends under the Little Squaw Creek alluvial gold deposit. We believe the alluvial gold in Little Squaw Creek and all of the other creeks in the Chandalar district was derived from the erosion of this schist. An independent contractor would be used for the diamond-core drilling and independent certified laboratories would be used for analyses. The estimated cost for the entire program is approximately $1.5 to $2.0 million dollars.
Additionally, as described below in Subsequent Events, we have signed an agreement with NyacAU to form a joint venture for the purpose of mining the alluvial gold deposits within the bounds of our Chandalar property. The agreement provides financing approximately $8.5 million of financing for bringing the alluvial deposit on Little Squaw Creek into production as well as financing the drilling activities of our 2012 exploration program.
On May 7, 2012 the Company announced that the joint venture, Goldrich NyacAU Placer, LLC (“GNP”), successfully completed mobilizing the mining equipment needed to begin mining operations this summer at Chandalar, Alaska.
The equipment was delivered over a 90-mile winter trail by GNP contractors. In addition to equipment, provisions for a 30-man camp were delivered, including a water system, kitchen/mess hall, and recreation facilities. The total investment in equipment mobilized to site, including equipment previously purchased by Goldrich, now exceeds $5 million. Subject to obtaining the necessary permits, preparation for mining is expected to begin in June 2012. Production is anticipated to begin by June 2013, although some initial production may be achieved this year. Eventual production of approximately 10,000 ounces of fine gold per season is anticipated, but this could be significantly increased if a second gold recovery plant is put into production. Goldrich has not defined a mineral reserve according to SEC Industry Guide 7 criteria. However, based on drilling of the placer to date and the anticipated production rate, Goldrich estimates the mine life will be approximately 25 years and believes this may also be significantly extended with additional drilling.
Financial Condition and Liquidity
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 2012. We anticipate that we will incur the following expenses over the next 12 months as of March 31, 2012:
1.
$1.5 to $2.0 million for 2012 exploration plan
2.
$375,000 for payment of third-party debt obligations, primarily for equipment loans; and
18
3.
$636,000 for general operating expenses
The $8.5 million financing described below in Subsequent Events includes $1.3 million for the 2012 exploration program and general operating costs in the form of financed drilling costs of $950,000 and cash proceeds of $350,000 from the sale of common shares. We anticipate we will need to raise approximately $1.2 million to $1.7 million in the next 12 months to completely fund our planned exploration expenditures, debt obligations and general working capital requirements. The Company plans to raise the financing through debt and/or equity placements. 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.
Gold prices are at or near record highs, but 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 the Company but we cannot give assurance we will be successful in attracting financing on terms acceptable to us, if at all. To increase its access to financial markets, Goldrich intends to seek a listing of its shares on a recognized stock exchange in Canada in addition to its listing on the FINRA OTCBB in the United States.
The audit opinion and notes that accompany our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011, disclose a ‘going concern’ qualification as to our ability to continue in business. The consolidated financial statements for the year then ended have been prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern. Such assumption contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As a result of continuing losses in 2011 and the first quarter of 2012, we have not yet successfully exited this going concern condition. As shown in the consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, we incurred losses and negative cash flows from operating activities for the quarter then ended, and at March 31, 2012, did not have sufficient cash reserves to meet debt obligations and cover normal operating expenditures for the following 12 months. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
With the exception of gold sales revenue in 2009 and 2010, we currently have no historical recurring source of revenue sufficient to support on-going operations. Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet our obligations on a timely basis, to obtain additional financing as may be required, or to attain profitability in a gold extraction operation as anticipated by the formation of a joint venture as described in Subsequent Events. No assurances can be given, however, that we will be able to obtain any of these potential sources of cash. We currently require additional cash funding from outside sources to sustain existing operations and to meet current obligations and ongoing capital requirements. We have sufficient cash to fund our administrative operations until approximately August of 2012.
On March 31, 2012 we had total liabilities of $1,068,380 and total assets of $2,916,179. This compares to total liabilities of $1,049,152 and total assets of $3,337,877 on December 31, 2011. As of March 31, 2012, the Company’s liabilities consist of $316,925 for environmental remediation and asset retirement obligations, $373,612 in equipment notes payable, $326,630 of trade payables and accrued liabilities, $29,130 due to related parties, and $22,083 for dividends payable. Of these liabilities, $620,104 is due within 12 months, including $242,261 in the current portion of equipment notes payable. The increase in liabilities compared to December 31, 2011 is largely due to an increase in accounts payable and accrued liability resulting from the ramping up of activities in preparation for the 2012 exploration program, offset by a decrease resulting from scheduled payments on equipment notes. The decrease in total assets was due to reduced cash resulting from general and administrative expenses concurrent with no cash raised from financing activities, supplemented by capitalized prepaid insurance payments, and reduced by depreciation taken against capital equipment during the quarter ended March 31, 2012.
On March 31, 2012 we had negative working capital of $226,126 and stockholders’ equity of $1,847,799 compared to working capital of $206,570 and stockholders’ equity of $2,288,725 for the year ended December 31, 2011.
19
During the quarter ended March 31, 2012, we used cash from operating activities of $282,371 compared to $221,753 for the same quarter of 2011. A significant adjustment to net loss from operations to arrive at net cash used in operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 is the non-cash loss of $1,623,489 arising from the satisfaction of notes payable in gold, which did not recur in 2012. We had no gold sales revenue in the comparative quarters of March 31, 2012 and 2011. However, as a result of the joint venture mining agreement we signed subsequent to the end of the March 2012 quarter, we believe gold revenues can increase in future years in profitable mining operations, as executed by our joint venture partner. As we reach profitable levels of production, we may be able to fund some portion of our exploration and mining activities from internal sources. As of March 31, 2012, we had accumulated approximately $18.8 million in federal and state net operating losses, respectively, which may enable us to generate approximately $18.8 million in net income prior to incurring any significant income tax obligation. The net operating losses will expire in various amounts from 2012 through 2031.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2012, we used cash of $32,238 in investing activities, compared to $4,110 used in the quarter ended March 31, 2011, each total representing purchases of equipment.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2012, we used $57,826 cash in financing activities to make payments on capital equipment notes payable, compared to $201,957 cash provided during the quarter ended March 31, 2011, consisting of $255,666 cash raised through the exercise of warrants offset by $53,709 cash used to make payments on capital equipment notes payable.
Private Placement Offerings
We completed no private placements of the Company’s securities made during the quarter ended March 31, 2012.
Subsequent Events
On April 3, 2012, we signed a binding Letter of Intent (“LOI”) to create a joint-venture company (the “JV”) with NyacAU, LLC (“NyacAU”), an Alaskan private company, to bring our Chandalar placer gold properties in Alaska into production. Under the terms of the LOI, NyacAU will provide a funding package of loans and equity that, subject to the timing of production, are estimated to total approximately $8.5 million as described below. The loans are to be repaid to NyacAU from Goldrich’s share of future gold production by the joint venture.
On May 2, 2012, we signed the definitive agreement (“Agreement”) to create a joint-venture company with Nyac Gold, LLC. (“Nyac Gold”). Goldrich Nyac Placer, LLC (“GNP”) is the 50/50 joint-venture company formed by Goldrich and NyacAU and managed by NyacAU to mine our various placer properties at Chandalar.
Once all loans have been repaid and working capital and budgeted reserves have been established, profits from the placer production will be paid out on a 50/50 basis to each of GNP’s partners. The Agreement covers production from all placers on Goldrich’s Chandalar property including, but not limited to, Little Squaw Creek, Big Squaw Creek, Big Creek and Tobin Creek, as well as all future properties within two miles of these claims or within the creek drainages to their termination that come from the Chandalar claim block.
Concurrent with signing the Agreement, Goldrich formed the Goldrich Placer LLC subsidiary and entered into a lease agreement (the “Lease”) with Goldrich Placer LLC for the exclusive right and license to explore for, develop, mine and control all placer gold located on or extracted from all of Goldrich’s mining claims at its Chandalar property. The Lease then includes an assignment of rights, title, interest responsibilities and obligations under the lease to GNP. The Lease shall continue until the cessation of operations, as defined in the Lease, or dissolution of GNP. The annual payment from Goldrich Placer LLC to Goldrich under the Lease is ten dollars ($10). Under terms of the operating agreement, GNP must meet minimum investment and production requirements.
20
NyacAU’s funding includes an effectively non-interest bearing loan to GNP, sufficient in amount to bring the placers at Chandalar into commercial production. This amount is currently estimated to total $7.2 million, subject to timing of production, consisting of approximately $3.6 million for start-up costs, $2.4 million for capital expenditures for mining equipment as well as $1.2 million loaned to GNP and then paid to Goldrich to purchase mining equipment currently owned by Goldrich. Upon completion of loan advances, Goldrich will be secondarily responsible for repayment of 50% of the loan balances as a result of its 50% ownership of GNP, and repayment will be effected by distributing Goldrich’s portion of GNP earnings to NyacAU until the loan is paid in full. The loan will earn interest to NyacAU at the applicable short-term federal rate, currently 0.25%, but is effectively a non-interest bearing loan from Goldrich’s standpoint, as Goldrich will receive a special payment from GNP equal to the interest paid by GNP to NyacAU for Goldrich’s 50% ownership share of this loan. NyacAU has also agreed to advance Goldrich $0.95 million at the greater of prime plus 2% or 10% interest for direct drilling costs as part of Goldrich’s 2012 exploration program with Blackrock Drilling, a drilling company in which the owners of NyacAU have a majority interest. The balance of the funding package, $0.35 million, is to be provided by an equity financing for the purchase shares of Goldrich’s common stock by NyacAU. The price per share in the equity financing is $0.148 per share, the 90-day weighted volume average price of Goldrich stock on the last business day proceeding the signing of the definitive documents for the joint venture agreement.
A summary of the financing package is as follows:
| Estimated 2012 Start-up Costs funding to GNP | $3,600,000 |
| Estimated Capital Expenditures through GNP | 2,400,000 |
| Estimated Purchase of Equipment from Goldrich through GNP | 1,200,000 |
| Total Loan from NyacAU to GNP with Interest at 0.25%, for which Goldrich is 50% secondarily responsible as a result of its 50% ownership of GNP. Goldrichs share of future distributions from GNP income totaling $3,600,000 will be made to NyacAU to satisfy this loan. | 7,200,000 |
| Loan from NyacAU to Goldrich with Interest at greater of prime plus 2% or 10% for exploration drilling. Goldrichs share of future distributions from GNP income totaling $950,000 will be made to NyacAU to satisfy this loan. | 950,000 |
| To Be Paid Back by GNP From Production, a total of $4,550,000 will be made from Goldrichs share of future distributions of GNP income | 8,150,000 |
| Equity Financing - Purchase shares of Goldrichs Common Stock | 350,000 |
| Total Financing, of which $2,500,000 will be received by Goldrich to finance its 2012 exploration program and general corporate expenses | $8,500,000 |

The total amount financed by NyacAU will be affected by timing of payback from production. GNP will commence payments to NyacAU as soon as production begins. Subject to permitting, preparation for mining is expected to begin in June 2012. Production is anticipated to begin by June 2013, although it may begin as early as the summer of 2012. The operating season for placer mining in Alaska is generally mid-June through mid-September subject to weather. GNP anticipates eventual production of approximately 10,000 ounces of fine gold per season, but this could be significantly increased if a second wash plant is put into production. Goldrich has not defined a mineral reserve according to SEC Industry Guide 7 criteria. However, based on drilling of the placer to date and the anticipated production rate, Goldrich estimates the mine life will be approximately 25 years and believes this may also be significantly extended with additional drilling.
In addition to the funding noted above, NyacAU has the option to lend GNP $0.25 million to purchase a 2% royalty that is currently on all production from certain Goldrich mining claims. The loan would carry interest at the greater of prime plus 2% or 10% and would be repaid from Goldrich’s portion of production. Goldrich would also have the exclusive right to purchase back the royalty at any time. The royalty would be extinguished upon payback of the loan or purchase by Goldrich.

Our primary asset is the hard-rock exploration target at Chandalar and the terms of the LOI ensure we will retain access to all of its properties for exploration purposes. GNP will lease the mining rights to placer gold on our Chandalar properties, but a formula is provided for us to purchase back these rights if the property is needed for hard-rock mining or to the extent hard-rock exploration significantly interferes with placer mining.
NyacAU, LLC is owned by the family of Dr. J. Michael James, which is also the owner of Nyac Gold LLC, one of the largest producers of placer gold in Alaska. Dr. James is a fourth-generation Alaskan whose family has roots in mining in the State going back to the early 1900’s. In addition to his mining interests, Dr. James is a respected physician and member of the business community in Anchorage. The manager of NyacAU, Dr. James will be granted 300,000 five-year stock options at an exercise price of $0.20 per share from Goldrich’s employee stock incentive program.
According to the terms of the LOI, “placer” means minerals that are river sands or gravels bearing gold or valuable detrital minerals hosted in soils, alluvium (deposited by water), eluvium (deposited by wind), colluvium (deposited by gravity), or talus, and up to six (6) feet into associated bedrock, and the term “lode” means a mineral that occurs as veins, lodes, ledges, or other rock in place which contains base and precious metals, gems and semi-precious stones, and certain industrial minerals, including but not limited to gold, silver, cinnabar, lead, tin, copper, zinc, fluorite, barite, or other valuable deposits, and is not a deposit of placer, alluvial, eluvial, colluvial or aqueous origin.
As of the date of this filing, GNP has successfully completed mobilizing the mining equipment needed to begin mining operations this summer at Chandalar, Alaska.
The equipment was delivered over a 90-mile winter trail by GNP contractors. In addition to equipment, provisions for a 30-man camp were delivered, including a water system, kitchen/mess hall, and recreation facilities. The total investment in equipment mobilized to site, including equipment previously purchased by us, now exceeds $5 million. Subject to permitting, preparation for mining is expected to begin in June 2012. Production is anticipated to begin by June 2013, although it may begin as early as the summer of 2012. Eventual production of approximately 10,000 ounces of fine gold per season is anticipated, but this could be significantly increased if a second gold recovery plant is put into production. We have not defined a mineral reserve according to SEC Industry Guide 7 criteria. However, based on drilling of the placer to date and the anticipated production rate, we estimate the mine life will be approximately 25 years and believe this may also be significantly extended with additional drilling.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
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.
22
·
Estimates of our environmental liabilities. Our potential obligations in environmental remediations, 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.

Question: What would be the adjusted net cash flow provided by financing activities from inception to March 31, 2012 in dollars if we consider the total loss recognized for settlement for the year ended December 31, 2011 as a negative cash flow and exclude this from the total cash provided by financing activities?

Solution:
def solution():
     #Define variables name and value
    total_cash_provided_financing_activities = 17474986
    total_loss_recognized_settlement = 1946684

    #Do math calculation to get the answer
    adjusted_net_cash_flow = total_cash_provided_financing_activities - total_loss_recognized_settlement
    answer = adjusted_net_cash_flow
    return answer


Answer: 15528302
