CAPITAL
      GOLD CORPORATION


NOTES
      TO
      CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


JANUARY
      31, 2008


(UNAUDITED)





NOTE
      1 -
      Basis of Presentation





Capital
      Gold Corporation ("Capital Gold", "the Company", "we" or "us") owns rights
      to
      property located in the State of Sonora, Mexico and the California Mining
      District, Lake County, Colorado. The Company is engaged in the production of
      gold and other minerals from its properties in Mexico as well as exploration
      for
      additional mineral properties. All of the Company's mining activities are being
      performed in Mexico.





On
      June
      29, 2001, the Company exercised an option and purchased from AngloGold North
      America Inc. and AngloGold (Jerritt Canyon) Corp. 100% of the issued and
      outstanding stock of Minera Chanate, S.A. de C.V., a subsidiary of those two
      companies (“Minera Chanate”). Minera Chanate's assets consisted of certain
      exploitation and exploration concessions in the States of Sonora, Chihuahua
      and
      Guerrero, Mexico. These concessions are sometimes referred to as the El Chanate
      Concessions.





Pursuant
      to the terms of the agreement, on December 15, 2001, the Company made a $50,000
      payment to AngloGold. AngloGold is entitled to receive the remainder of the
      purchase price by way of an ongoing percentage of net smelter returns of between
      2% and 4% plus 10% net profits interest (until the total net profits interest
      payment received by AngloGold equals $1,000,000). AngloGold's right to a payment
      of a percentage of net smelter returns and the net profits interest will
      terminate at such point as they aggregate $18,018,355. In accordance with the
      agreement, the foregoing payments are not to be construed as royalty payments.
      Should the Mexican government or other jurisdiction determine that such payments
      are royalties, the Company could be subject to and would be responsible for
      any
      withholding taxes assessed on such payments.





Under
      the
      terms of the agreement, the Company has granted AngloGold the right to designate
      one of its wholly-owned Mexican subsidiaries to receive a one time option (the
      “Option”) to purchase 51% of Minera Chanate (or such entity that owns the Minera
      Chanate concessions at the time of option exercise) (the “Back-In Right”). That
      Option is exercisable over a 180 day period commencing at such time as the
      Company notifies AngloGold that it has made a good faith determination that
      it
      has gold-bearing ore deposits on any one of the identified group of El Chanate
      Concessions, when aggregated with any ore that the Company has mined, produced
      and sold from such concessions, of in excess of 2,000,000 troy ounces of
      contained gold. The exercise price would equal twice the Company's project
      costs
      on the properties during the period commencing on December 15, 2000 and ending
      on the date of such notice.





In
      January 2008, pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the Company made a good
      faith determination and notified AngloGold that the drill indicated resources
      at
      the El Chanate gold mine exceeded two million ounces of contained gold. The
      term
      "drill indicated resources" is defined in the agreement. A drill indicated
      resource number does not rise to the level of, and should not be considered
      proven and probable reserves as those terms are defined under SEC guidelines.
      AngloGold has 180 days from the date of notification to determine whether or
      not
      it will choose to exercise the Option for the Back-In Right.

The
      accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
      prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for
      interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly,
      they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S.
      generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
      In
      the opinion of the Company's management, the accompanying condensed consolidated
      financial statements reflect all adjustments (which include only normal
      recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the condensed consolidated
      financial position and results of operations and cash flows for the periods
      presented. They include the accounts of Capital Gold Corporation and its wholly
      owned and majority owned subsidiaries, Leadville Mining and Milling Holding
      Corporation, Minera Santa Rita, S.A de R.L. de C.V.(“MSR”) and Oro de Altar S.
      de R. L. de C.V. (“Oro”) as well as the accounts within Caborca Industrial S.A.
      de C.V. (“Caborca Industriale”), a Mexican corporation 100% owned by two of the
      Company’s officers and directors for mining support services. These services
      include, but are not limited to, the payment of mining salaries and related
      costs. Caborca Industrial bills the Company for these services at slightly
      above
      cost. This entity is considered a variable interest entity under accounting
      rules provided under FIN 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”. All
      significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in
      consolidation. Certain items in these financial statements have been
      reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These
      reclassifications had no impact on the Company’s results of operations,
      stockholders’ equity or cash flows





Results
      of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results
      of operations for a full year.





NOTE
      2 -
      Equity Based Compensation





In
      connection with offers of employment to the Company’s executives as well as in
      consideration for agreements with certain consultants, the Company issues
      options and warrants to acquire its common stock. Employee and non-employee
      awards are made at the discretion of the Board of Directors.





Such
      options and warrants may be exercisable at varying exercise prices currently
      ranging from $0.24 to $0.63 per share of common stock with certain of these
      grants becoming exercisable immediately upon grant. Certain grants vested or
      are
      vesting for a period of five years, respectively. Also, certain grants contain
      a
      provision whereby they become immediately exercisable upon a change of
      control.





Effective
      February 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123R. Under
      FAS
      123R, share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on
      the
      estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the
      requisite service period. The Company adopted the provisions of FAS 123R using
      a
      modified prospective application. Under this method, compensation cost is
      recognized for all share-based payments granted, modified or settled after
      the
      date of adoption, as well as for any unvested awards that were granted prior
      to
      the date of adoption. Prior periods are not revised for comparative purposes.
      Because the Company previously adopted only the pro forma disclosure provisions
      of SFAS 123, it will recognize compensation cost relating to the unvested
      portion of awards granted prior to the date of adoption, using the same estimate
      of the grant-date fair value and the same attribution method used to determine
      the pro forma disclosures under SFAS 123, except that forfeitures rates will
      be
      estimated for all options, as required by FAS 123R.





The
      cumulative effect of applying the forfeiture rates is not material. FAS 123R
      requires that excess tax benefits related to stock option exercises be reflected
      as financing cash inflows instead of operating cash inflows.





The
      fair
      value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a
      Black-Scholes option valuation model. Expected volatility is based on the
      historical volatility of the price of the Company stock. The risk-free interest
      rate is based on U.S. Treasury issues with a term equal to the expected life
      of
      the option. The Company uses historical data to estimate expected dividend
      yield, expected life and forfeiture rates. The estimated per share weighted
      average grant-date fair values of stock options and warrants granted during
      the
      six months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007, were $0.60 and $0.32, respectively.
      The fair values of the options and warrants granted were estimated based on
      the
      following weighted average assumptions:

Costs
      that are incurred in or benefit the productive process are accumulated as
      stockpiles, ore on leach pads and inventories. Stockpiles, ore on leach pads
      and
      inventories are carried at the lower of average cost or net realizable value.
      Net realizable value represents the estimated future sales price of the product
      based on current and long-term metals prices, less the estimated costs to
      complete production and bring the product to sale. Write-downs of stockpiles,
      ore on leach pads and inventories, resulting from net realizable value
      impairments, will be reported as a component of *Costs
      applicable to sales* .
      The
      current portion of stockpiles, ore on leach pads and inventories is determined
      based on the expected amounts to be processed within the next 12 months.
      Stockpiles, ore on leach pads and inventories not expected to be processed
      within the next 12 months will be classified as long-term.

      Reclamations and Remediation Liabilities (“Asset Retirement
      Obligations”)




In
      accordance with SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations,
      reclamation costs are allocated to expense over the life of the related assets
      and are periodically adjusted to reflect changes in the estimated present value
      resulting from the passage of time and revisions to the estimates of either
      the
      timing or amount of the reclamation and abandonment costs. The Asset Retirement
      Obligation is based on when the spending for an existing environmental
      disturbance and activity to date is expected to occur. The Company reviews,
      on
      an annual basis, unless otherwise deemed necessary, the Asset Retirement
      Obligation at each mine site.

      and
      stockholders of the Company for mining support services. These services include
      but are not limited to the payment of mining salaries and related costs. The
      Mexican Corporation bills the Company for these services at slightly above
      cost.
      Mining expenses charged by the Mexican Corporation and eliminated upon
      consolidation amounted to approximately $1,522,000 and $181,000 for the six

During
      the six months ended January 31, 2008, the Company received proceeds of
      approximately $2,156,000 from the exercising of an aggregate of 6,321,500
      warrants issued in past private placements.





The
      Board
      of Directors recommended an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of
      Incorporation to increase the Company’s authorized shares of capital stock from
      250,000,000 to 300,000,00 shares. This amendment was approved by the
      stockholders on January 24, 2008 and the Company effected the authorized share
      increase on January 25, 2008.





2006
      Equity Incentive Plan





The
      2006
      Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), approved by stockholders on February 21,
      2007, is intended to attract and retain individuals of experience and ability,
      to provide incentive to the Company’s employees, consultants, and non-employee
      directors, to encourage employee and director proprietary interests in the
      Company, and to encourage employees to remain in the Company’s employ.





The
      Plan
      authorizes the grant of non-qualified and incentive stock options, stock
      appreciation rights and restricted stock awards (each, an “Award”). A maximum of
      10,000,000 shares of common stock are reserved for potential issuance pursuant
      to Awards under the Plan. Unless sooner terminated, the Plan will continue
      in
      effect for a period of 10 years from its effective date.





The
      Plan
      is administered by the Company’s Board of Directors which has delegated the
      administration to the Company’s Compensation Committee. The Plan provides for
      Awards to be made to such of the Company’s employees, directors and consultants
      and its affiliates as the Board may select. As
      of
      January 31, 2008, 6,260,000 options and shares have been granted under the
      Plan leaving
      3,740,000 available for issuance.





In
      August
      2007, the Company issued two year options to purchase the Company’s common stock
      at exercise prices ranging from $0.38 to $0.50 per share for professional
      services rendered. These options are for the purchase of 465,000 shares and
      were
      issued under the 2006 Equity-Incentive Plan. The Company utilized the
      Black-Scholes Method to fair value these options and recorded approximately
      $58,000 as equity based compensation expense.





On
      December 20 2007, the Company’s executive officers and directors were granted
      stock options and restricted stock under the Plan. Executive officers and
      directors were granted an aggregate of 3,000,000 stock options and executive
      officers were granted an aggregate 1,075,000 shares of restricted stock. All
      of
      the stock options have a term of seven years and vest as follows: 20% vested
      upon issuance and the balance vest 20% annually thereafter. The exercise price
      of the stock options is $0.63 per share (per the
      Plan, the closing price on the Toronto Stock Exchange on the trading day
      immediately prior to the day of determination converted to U.S.
      Dollars) .
      The
      restricted shares granted vest equally over three years from the date of grant.
      In the event of a termination of continuous service (other than as a result
      of a
      change of control), as defined in the Plan, unvested stock options and unvested
      restricted stock grants shall terminate and, with regard to vested stock
      options, the exercise period shall be the lesser of the original expiration
      date
      or one year from the date continuous service terminates. Upon the happening
      of a
      change of control, all unvested stock options and unvested restricted stock
      grants immediately vest. The Company utilized the Black-Scholes Pricing Model
      to
      fair value the stock options and recorded approximately $231,000 as Equity
      Based
      Compensation during the period. The Company also recorded approximately $690,000
      as deferred compensation expense within the Company’s statement of stockholders
      equity upon the issuance of the restricted stock. Approximately $26,000 of
      this
      restricted stock vested in the current period.

The
      Company entered into a credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) in 2006 involving
      its wholly-owned subsidiaries MSR and Oro, as borrowers, us, as guarantor,
      and
      Standard Bank plc (“Standard Bank”), as the lender and the offshore account
      holder. Under the Credit Facility, MSR and Oro borrowed money in an aggregate
      principal amount of US$12,500,000 (the “Loan”) for the purpose of constructing,
      developing and operating the Company’s El Chanate Project (the “Mine”). The
      Company guaranteed the repayment of the loan and the performance of the
      obligations under the Credit Facility. The Loan is scheduled to be repaid in
      fourteen quarterly payments with the first principal payment due after certain
      Mine start-up production and performance criteria are satisfied, which the
      Company believes will occur in the first calendar quarter of 2008. The Loan
      bears interest at LIBOR plus 4.00%, with LIBOR interest periods of 1, 2, 3
      or 6
      months and with interest payable at the end of the applicable interest period.
      As of January 31, 2008, the outstanding amount on the credit facility was
      $12,500,000 and accrued interest on this facility was approximately $74,000

The
      Credit Facility contains covenants customary for a project financing loan,
      including but not limited to restrictions (subject to certain exceptions) on
      incurring additional debt, creating liens on its property, disposing of any
      assets, merging with other companies and making any investments. The Company
      will be required to meet and maintain certain financial covenants, including

      a debt service coverage ratio of not less than 1.2 to 1.0, (ii) a projected
      debt
      service coverage ratio of not less than 1.2 to 1.0, (iii) a loan life coverage
      ratio of at least 1.6 to 1.0, (iv) a project life coverage ratio of at least
      2.0
      to 1.0 and (v) a minimum reserve tail. The Company also is required to maintain
      a certain minimum level of unrestricted cash, and upon meeting certain Mine
      start-up production and performance criteria, MSR and Oro are required to
      maintain a specified amount of cash as a reserve for debt repayment. The Loan
      is
      secured by all of the tangible and intangible assets and property owned by
      MSR
      and Oro.





As
      part
      of the fee for entering into and closing the Credit Facility, the Company issued
      to Standard Bank 1,150,000 shares of its restricted common stock and a warrant
      for the purchase of 12,600,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price
      of $0.317 per share, expiring on the earlier of (a) December 31, 2010 or (b)
      the
      date one year after the repayment of the Credit Facility. Previously, pursuant
      to the mandate and commitment letter for the facility, the Company issued to
      Standard Bank 1,000,000 shares of its restricted common stock and a warrant
      for
      the purchase of 1,000,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of
      $0.32 per share, expiring on the earlier of (a) December 31, 2010 or (b) the
      date one year after the repayment of the Credit Facility. The Company recorded
      the issuance of the shares of common stock and warrants as deferred financing
      costs as a reduction of stockholders' equity on its balance sheet. The issuance
      of these shares was recorded at the fair market value of the Company’s common
      stock at the commitment letter date or $0.27 per share. In addition, the
      warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and were
      reflected as deferred financing costs as a reduction of stockholders' equity
      on
      the Company’s balance sheet in 2006. The Company registered for public resale
      the 2,150,000 shares issued to Standard Bank and the 13,600,000 shares issuable
      upon exercise of warrants issued to Standard Bank.

Amortization
      of deferred financing costs related to these issuances was $465,000 and $284,000
      for the six months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

      Sales Contracts, Commodity and Financial Instruments





In
      March
      2006, in conjunction with the Company’s credit facility, the Company entered
      into two identically structured derivative contracts with Standard Bank (See
      Note 15). Each derivative consisted of a series of forward sales of gold and
      a
      purchase gold cap. The Company agreed to sell a total volume of 121,927 ounces
      of gold forward to Standard Bank at a price of $500 per ounce on a quarterly
      basis during the period from March 2007 to September 2010. The Company also
      agreed to a purchase gold cap on a quarterly basis during this same period
      and
      at identical volumes covering a total volume of 121,927 ounces of gold at a
      price of $535 per ounce. While the period of the derivative contracts has
      commenced, the Company does not anticipate any material adverse effect from
      the
      fact that it has not commenced to sell gold because the price of gold is
      substantially above $535 per ounce. Under FASB Statement No. 133, "Accounting
      for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("FAS 133"), these contracts
      must be carried on the balance sheet at their fair value, with changes to the
      fair value of these contracts reflected as Other Income or Expense. These
      contracts were not designated as hedging derivatives; and therefore, special
      hedge accounting does not apply.





The
      following is a reconciliation of the derivative contracts regarding the
      Company’s Gold Price Protection agreement:

            660




Rather
      than modifying the original Gold Price Protection agreement with Standard Bank
      to satisfy these forward sale obligations ,
      the
      Company has opted
      for
      a net cash settlement between the call option purchase price of $535 and the
      forward sale price of $500, or $35.00 per oz. The Company has paid Standard
      Bank
      approximately $1,051,000 on the settlement of 30,021 ounces with corresponding
      reductions in the Company’s derivative liability ($591,000 or 16,895 ounces of
      gold during the six months ended January 31, 2008). The remaining ounces to
      settle with regard to this agreement amounted to 91,906 as of January 31, 2008.





On
      October 11, 2006, prior to the Company’s initial draw on the Credit Facility,
      the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements in accordance with the
      terms of the Credit Facility, which requires that the Company hedge at least
      50
      percent of the Company’s outstanding debt under this facility. The agreements
      entered into cover $9,375,000 or 75% of the outstanding debt. Both swaps covered
      this same notional amount of $9,375,000, but over different time horizons.
      The
      first covered the six months commencing October 11, 2006 and terminated on
      March
      31, 2007 and the second covering the period from March 30, 2007 with a
      termination date of December 31, 2010. The Company intends to use
      discretion in managing this risk as market conditions vary over time, allowing
      for the possibility of adjusting the degree of hedge coverage as the Company
      deems appropriate. However, any use of interest rate derivatives will be
      restricted to use for risk management purposes.





-20-




The
      Company uses variable-rate debt to finance a portion of the El Chanate Project.
      Variable-rate debt obligations expose the Company to variability in interest
      payments due to changes in interest rates. As a result of these arrangements,
      the Company will continuously monitor changes in interest rate exposures and
      evaluate hedging opportunities. The Company’s risk management policy permits it
      to use any combination of interest rate swaps, futures, options, caps and
      similar instruments, for the purpose of fixing interest rates on all or a
      portion of variable rate debt, establishing caps or maximum effective interest
      rates, or otherwise constraining interest expenses to minimize the variability
      of these effects.




The
      interest rate swap agreements are accounted for as cash flow hedges, whereby
      “effective” hedge gains or losses are initially recorded in other comprehensive
      income and later reclassified to the interest expense component of earnings
      coincidently with the earnings impact of the interest expenses being hedged.
      “Ineffective” hedge results are immediately recorded in earnings also under
      interest expense. No component of hedge results will be excluded from the
      assessment of hedge effectiveness. The amount expected to be reclassified from
      other comprehensive income to earnings during the year ending July 31, 2008
      from
      these two swaps was determined to be immaterial.

The
      Company is exposed to credit losses in the event of non-performance by
      counterparties to these interest rate swap agreements, but the Company does
      not
      expect any of the counterparties to fail to meet their obligations. To manage
      credit risks, the Company selects counterparties based on credit ratings, limits
      its exposure to a single counterparty under defined guidelines, and monitor
      the
      market position with each counterparty as required by
      SFAS 133.

NOTE
      18 – Income Taxes




On
      October 1, 2007, the Mexican Government enacted legislation which introduces
      certain tax reforms as well as a new minimum flat tax system.  This new
      flat tax system integrates with the regular income tax system and is based
      on
      cash-basis net income that includes only certain receipts and
      expenditures.  The flat tax is set at 17.5% of cash-basis net income as
      determined, with transitional rates of 16.5% and 17.0% in 2008 and 2009,
      respectively.  If the flat tax is positive, it is reduced by the regular
      income tax and any excess is paid as a supplement to the regular income
      tax.  If the flat tax is negative, it may serve to reduce the regular
      income tax payable in that year or can be carried forward for a period of up
      to
      ten years to reduce any future flat tax.




Companies
      are required to prepay income taxes on a monthly basis based on the greater
      of
      the flat tax or regular income tax as calculated for each monthly period. 
Accordingly, the Company recorded a prepayment requirement of $475,000 for
      the
      month of January 2008 based on the flat tax regulations.  This amount is
      greater than the anticipated regular income tax of approximately $165,000. 
Annualized income projections indicate that the Company will not be liable
      for
      any excess flat tax for the year 2008 and, accordingly, has recorded a $165,000
      Mexican income tax provision for January 2008.




As
      the
      new legislation was recently enacted, it remains subject to ongoing varying
      interpretations.  There is the possibility of implementation amendments by
      the Mexican Government and the estimated future income tax liability recorded
      at
      the balance date may change.





NOTE
      19 - Concentrations of Credit Risk





Financial
      instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations
      of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and marketable
      securities. The Company maintains cash balances at financial institutions which
      exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit of $100,000 at times
      during the year.





NOTE
      20 – Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements




The
      Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for
      Uncertainty in Income Taxes" ("FIN 48") effective January 1, 2007. The purpose
      of FIN 48 is to clarify and set forth consistent rules for accounting for
      uncertain tax positions in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
      Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". The cumulative effect of
      applying the provisions of this interpretation are required to be reported
      separately as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in
      the
      year of adoption. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the
      financial condition or the results of the Company’s operations.




On
      February 15, 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option
      for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an Amendment of
      FASB
      Statement No. 115. This standard permits an entity to choose to measure many
      financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. This option is
      available to all entities. Most of the provisions in Statement 159 are elective;
      however, the amendment to FASB Statement No. 115, Accounting for Certain
      Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, applies to all entities with
      available-for-sale and trading securities. Some requirements apply differently
      to entities that do not report net income. The FASB's stated objective in
      issuing this standard is as follows: "to improve financial reporting by
      providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported
      earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without
      having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions".




-22-




The
      fair
      value option established by Statement 159 permits all entities to choose to
      measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. A business
      entity will report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair
      value
      option has been elected in earnings (or another performance indicator if the
      business entity does not report earnings) at each subsequent reporting date.
      The
      fair value option: (a) may be applied instrument by instrument, with a few
      exceptions, such as investments otherwise accounted for by the equity method;
      (b) is irrevocable (unless a new election date occurs); and (c) is applied
      only
      to entire instruments and not to portions of instruments.




Statement
      159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that
      begins after November 15, 2007.  The
      Company does not anticipate this statement having a material impact on its
      financial statements.





On
      December 4, 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 160, *Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - An Amendment
      of
      ARB No. 51.* Statement 160 establishes new accounting and reporting standards for the
      noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a
      subsidiary. Specifically, this statement requires the recognition of a
      noncontrolling interest (minority interest) as equity in the consolidated
      financial statements and separate from the parent's equity. The amount of net
      income attributable to the noncontrolling interest will be included in
      consolidated net income on the face of the income statement. Statement 160
      clarifies that changes in a parent's ownership interest in a subsidiary that
      do
      not result in deconsolidation are equity transactions if the parent retains
      its
      controlling financial interest. In addition, this statement requires that a
      parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is
      deconsolidated. Such gain or loss will be measured using the fair value of
      the
      noncontrolling equity investment on the deconsolidation date. Statement 160
      also
      includes expanded disclosure requirements regarding the interests of the parent
      and its noncontrolling interest.





Statement
      160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal
      years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Like Statement 141R discussed
      above, earlier adoption is prohibited. The Company does not anticipate this
      statement having a material impact on its financial statements.





Note
      21 – Subsequent Events





The
      Company received a mandate letter, dated February 27, 2008, from Standard Bank
      to refinance the existing project finance facility on the El Chanate mine.
      The
      key anticipated amendments to the refinance include: 1) removal of cash
      restrictions and covenants, 2) reduction of the finance interest rate by 1.5%,
      3) addition of a five million dollar line of credit at an interest rate of
      LIBOR
      + 2%, 4) Exercise of a portion of the warrants currently held by Standard Bank
      to provide additional support for El Chanate expansion plans and to fully fund
      the debt service reserve account. The Company anticipates a closing date for
      this refinance by the end of April 2008.

**General**





Through
      wholly-owned subsidiaries, Capital Gold Corporation owns 100% of 16 mining
      concessions located in the Municipality of Altar, State of Sonora, Republic
      of
      Mexico totaling approximately 3,544 hectares (8,756 acres or 13.7 square miles).
      We commenced mining operations on two of these concessions in late March 2007
      and achieved gold production and revenue from operations in early August 2007.
      We sometimes refer to the operations on these two concessions as the El Chanate
      Project. Our results of operations differ from preceding periods because we
      now
      are realizing revenue from operations.





In
      May
      2007, we completed an expanded 72-hole reverse circulation drilling campaign
      to
      identify additional proven and probable gold reserves at the El Chanate Project.
      The 72 holes totaled approximately 8,300 meters, and were positioned to fill
      in
      gaps in the ore body and test the outer limits of the currently known ore zones. We
      updated the assay database and digital geologic model and contracted Independent Mining Consultants, Inc. (“IMC”) of Tucson, AZ to update our ore
      reserve and our mine plan. On August 30, 2007, IMC delivered to us an updated
      resource block model and an updated mine plan and mine production schedule
      (the
“2007 Report”). The original feasibility study (the “2003 Study”) on the El
      Chanate Project was prepared by M3 Engineering of Tucson in August 2003. M3
      updated the 2003 Study in October 2005 (the “2005 Study”). An August 2006
      technical report from SRK Consulting, Denver, Colorado (the “2006 Update”)
      further updated the feasibility study.





According
      to the 2007 Report, our proven and probable reserve tonnage has increased by
      approximately 98 percent from 19.9 million to 39.5 million metric tonnes with
      a
      gold grade of 0.66 grams per tonne (43.5 million US short tons at 0.019 ounces
      per ton). The open pit stripping ratio is 0.6:1 (0.6 tonnes of waste to one
      tonne of ore). The updated pit design for the revised plan in the 2007 Report
      is
      based on a plant recovery of gold that varies by rock types, but is expected
      to
      average 66.8%. A gold price of US$550 (three year average as of July 31, 2007
      as
      determined by IMC) per ounce was used to re-estimate the reserves compared
      with
      a gold price of $450 per ounce used in the previous estimate.




-24-





The
      following Summary is extracted from the 2007 Report. Please note that the
      reserves as stated are an estimate of what can be economically and legally
      recovered from the mine and, as such, incorporate losses for dilution and mining
      recovery. **** The
      832,280 ounces of contained gold represents ounces of gold contained in ore
      in
      the ground, and therefore does not reflect losses in the recovery process.
      Total
      gold produced is estimated to be 555,960 ounces, or approximately 66.8% of
      the
      contained gold. The gold recovery rate is expected to average approximately
      66.8% for the entire ore body. Individual portions of the ore body may
      experience varying recovery rates ranging from about 73% to 48%. Oxidized and
      sandstone ore types may have recoveries of about 73%; fault zone ore type
      recoveries may be about 64%; siltstone ore types recoveries may be about 48%
      and
      latite intrusive ore type recoveries may be about 50%.

      account the anticipated increase to 10,000 metric tonnes per day or
      more.

Through
      January 31, 2008, approximately 2.37 million tonnes of ore had been placed
      on
      the leach pad containing an estimated 63,627 ounces of gold. As of January
      31,
      2008, we estimate that we have 24,333 recoverable ounces on the leach pad.
      Gold
      production for the six months ended January 31, 2008, totaled approximately
      19,433 ounces of Gold.





Gold
      production at El Chanate is currently near the feasibility study rate of 4,000
      ounces per month. We have started to ramp up daily tonnage levels from 7,500
      tonnes per day (“tpd”) to 10,000 tpd. This should boost our gold production
      toward 5,000 ounces per month (60,000 ounces per year). Initially, we anticipate
      that the increased plant throughput will not require any capital since an
      additional ore crushing and stacking capacity was factored into the original
      design.





With
      the
      recent reserve increase, we are analyzing what steps are necessary to
      effectively increase production rates to a range of 70,000 to 80,000 ounces
      per
      year by 2009 and improve gold recoveries by conducting further metallurgical
      test work at our laboratory facilities at the mine. We will continue our ongoing
      studies to possibly increase production levels to 100,000 ounces per year
      thereafter. To this end, we have engaged Golder Engineering and its Mexican
      associates to supply engineering services for leach pad expansion and to study
      the impact of the planned mining increase. Golder previously successfully
      completed the construction management of our existing leach pads. In addition,
      we are discussing options available with the crusher manufacturer, Excel
      Machinery, with regards to adding an additional secondary crusher into the
      crushing circuit, to enable the system to handle increased tonnage. We
      anticipate that another crusher should move daily tonnage up closer to 15,000
      tpd. The estimated cost to achieve these increased production rates will be
      approximately $7,000,000 over a two year period. Management has been and will
      continue to fund these expansion costs through revenues from gold sales,
      additional bank financing and/or the sale of our securities; however, we cannot
      assure that adequate additional funding, if needed, will be available to fund
      this expansion activity.





The
      leach
      pad expansion is estimated to be completed by the end of April 2008. For the
      six
      months ended January 31, 2008, our capital expenditure cost related to this
      leach pad expansion totaled approximately $1,625,000 which was fully funded
      from
      cash flow from operations. In addition, based on the studies noted above,
      specifically our ADR plant capacity, we have identified certain restrictions
      in
      the amount of solution that can be processed that are in the process of being
      addressed. Recently, we doubled the installed pumping capacity to increase
      solution flow to the leach pad and added additional carbon capacity to the
      system. We have purchased an additional set of carbon columns and a strip vessel
      to process an additional two tonnes of carbon per strip. We believe that this
      project will be completed by the end of our current fiscal year (July 30),
      thereby lifting the limitations on our current gold production. We anticipate
      remaining capital expenditures to amount to approximately $1,200,000 to complete
      the leach pad expansion and the ADR plant upgrade.





In
      December 2007, we completed an additional 26 hole reverse circulation drilling
      program amounting to 4,912 meters. The drill holes were mainly positioned to
      test the outer limits of the currently known ore zones. The results of this
      drilling campaign have not yet been included in our resource model as we
      continue to receive assay results.





We
      are
      actively investigating other exploration projects in northern Mexico.





**Results
      of Operations**





You
      should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition
      and
      results of operations in conjunction with our unaudited interim financial
      statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report.

Three
      months ended January 31, 2008 compared to Three months ended January 31,
      2007





Net
      income for the three months ended January 31, 2008 was approximately $2,126,000
      compared to a net loss, of approximately $1,673,000 for the three months ended
      January 31, 2007. The principal reason for this transition was our realizing
      revenue from operations during the current quarter. Net income per common share
      was $0.01 for the three months ended January 31, 2008, on both a basic and
      diluted basis. The net loss per share for the same period in 2006 was $0.01
      on a
      basic basis.





Revenues
      & Costs Applicable to Sales





Gold
      sales in the current period totaled approximately $8,043,000. We sold 9,550
      ounces at an average realizable price per ounce of $843 (the London Bullion
      Market Association average gold PM fix was $835 for the current period). Costs
      applicable to sales were approximately $2,419,000 for the current period. There
      were no metal sales in 2006. Our cash cost and total cost per ounce sold was
      $252 and $315, respectively, for the current period.





Depreciation
      and Amortization





Depreciation
      and amortization expense during the three months ended January 31, 2008 and
      2007
      was approximately $  881,000
      and $273,000, respectively. The primary reason for the increase of approximately
      $608,000 was primarily due to depreciation and amortization charges related
      to
      the El Chanate development and equipment costs being incurred in the current
      period. There were no such charges for the same period in the prior year as
      these assets were placed in service in April 2007. Depreciation and amortization
      also represents deferred financing costs resulting from the Credit Facility
      entered into in August 2006 with Standard Bank Plc. This accounted for
      approximately $272,000 of the amortization expense during the three months
      ended
      January 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.





General
      and Administration Expense





General
      and administrative expenses during the three months ended January 31, 2008
      were
      approximately $1,321,000, an increase of approximately $772,000 or 141% from
      the
      three months ended January 31, 2007. The increase in general and administrative
      expenses resulted primarily from: 1) higher salaries and wages including the
      awarding of cash bonuses to officers and employees of approximately $315,000
      and
      the granting of stock options and restricted stock to our officers and employees
      under our 2006 Equity Incentive Plan amounting to approximately $219,000, 2)
      higher investor relations and travel fees, and 3) an increase in insurance
      costs
      versus the same period a year earlier as we were not yet in production in the
      prior period. The above mentioned increases in compensation were granted based
      upon recommendations from an independent report on executive compensation.
      This
      independent report, requested by our Compensation Committee, was obtained in
      order to assist us in attracting and retaining individuals of experience and ability, to provide
      incentive to our employees and directors, to encourage employee and director
      proprietary interests in the Company, and to encourage employees to remain
      in
      our employ.





Exploration
      Expense





Exploration
      expense during the three months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007 was
      approximately $496,000 and $301,000, respectively, or an increase of $195,000
      or
      65%. The primary reason for the increase in exploration expenses was the result
      of our drilling program implemented during the current quarter.





-27-





Equity
      Based Compensation





Equity
      based compensation during the three months ended January 31, 2008 was
      approximately $50,000 as compared to $101,000 in costs for the same period
      a
      year earlier. These costs primarily represent the equity compensation expense
      from the issuance of stock options for professional services provided to
      non-employees during the current and prior period.





Other
      Income and Expense





Our
      loss
      on the change in fair value of derivative instruments during the three months
      ended January 31, 2008 and 2007, was approximately $342,000 and $286,000,
      respectively, and was reflected as an other expense. **** This
      was
      primarily due to the change in fair value of our two identically structured
      derivative contracts with Standard Bank which correlates to fluctuations in
      the
      gold price. These contracts were not designated as hedging derivatives; and
      therefore, special hedge accounting does not apply.





Interest
      expense was approximately $288,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2008
      compared to approximately $175,000 for the same period a year earlier. This
      increase was mainly due to higher interest charges incurred during the current
      period related to our fully outstanding Credit Facility with Standard Bank.
      As
      of January 31, 2008 and 2007, there was $12,500,000 and $8,750,000 outstanding,
      respectively, on this credit facility.





Six
      months ended January 31, 2008 compared to Six months ended January 31,
      2007





Net
      income for the six months ended January 31, 2008 was approximately $3,873,000
      compared to a net loss, of approximately $2,834,000 for the six months ended
      January 31, 2007. The principal reason for this transition was our realizing
      revenue from operations during the six months ended January 31, 2008. The
      Company’s first gold sale occurred in August 2007. Net income per common share
      was $0.02 for the six months ended January 31, 2008, on both a basic and diluted
      basis. The net loss per share for the same period in 2006 was $0.02 on a basic
      basis.





Revenues
      & Costs Applicable to Sales





Gold
      sales for the six months ended January 31, 2008 totaled approximately
      $14,569,000. We have sold 18,744 ounces at an average realizable price per
      ounce
      of $779 (the London Bullion Market Association average gold PM fix was $772
      for
      this period). Costs applicable to sales were approximately $4,568,000 for the
      current period. There were no metal sales in the prior period. Our cash cost
      and
      total cost per ounce sold was $246 and $314, respectively, for the six months
      ended January 31, 2008.





Depreciation
      and Amortization





Depreciation
      and amortization expense during the six months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007
      was approximately $  1,830,000
      and $346,000, respectively. The increase of approximately $1,484,000 was
      primarily due to depreciation and amortization charges related to the El Chanate
      development and equipment costs being incurred in the current period. There
      were
      no such charges for the same period in the prior year as these assets were
      placed in service in April 2007. Depreciation and amortization also represents
      deferred financing costs resulting from the Credit Facility. This accounted
      for
      approximately $544,000 and $332,000 of the amortization expense during the
      six
      months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.





-28-





General
      and Administration Expense





General
      and administrative expenses during the six months ended January 31, 2008 were
      approximately $2,172,000, an increase of approximately $991,000 or 84% from
      the
      six months ended January 31, 2007. See commentary contained in “General and
      Administrative Expense” within the “Three months ended January 31, 2008 compared
      to Three months ended January 31, 2007” section above for more detail on this
      increase.





Exploration
      Expense





Exploration
      expense during the six months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007 was approximately
      $631,000 and $514,000, respectively, or an increase of $117,000 or 23%. The
      primary reason for the increase in exploration expenses was the result of our
      drilling program implemented during the current period.





Equity
      Based Compensation





Equity
      based compensation during the six months ended January 31, 2008 was
      approximately $108,000 as compared to $101,000 in costs for the same period
      a
      year earlier. These costs primarily represent the equity compensation expense
      from the issuance of stock options for professional services provided to
      non-employees during the current and prior period.





Other
      Income and Expense





Our
      loss
      on the change in fair value of derivative instruments during the six months
      ended January 31, 2008 and 2007, was approximately $700,000 and $528,000,
      respectively, and was reflected as an other expense. **** This
      was
      primarily due to the change in fair value of our two identically structured
      derivative contracts with Standard Bank which correlates to fluctuations in
      the
      gold price. These contracts were not designated as hedging derivatives; and
      therefore, special hedge accounting does not apply.





Interest
      expense was approximately $569,000 for the six months ended January 31, 2008
      compared to approximately $198,000 for the same period a year earlier. This
      increase was mainly due to higher interest charges incurred during the current
      period related to our fully outstanding credit facility with Standard Bank.
      As
      of January 31, 2008 and 2007, there was $12,500,000 and $8,750,000 outstanding,
      respectively, on this credit facility.




Changes
      in Foreign Exchange Rates





During
      the six months ended January 31, 2008, we recorded equity adjustments from
      foreign currency translations of approximately $27,000. These translation
      adjustments are related to changes in the rates of exchange between the Mexican
      Peso and the US dollar and are included as a component of other comprehensive
      income.

**Liquidity
      and Capital Resources**





As
      of
      January 31, 2008, we had approximately $4,997,000 in cash and cash equivalents,
      an increase of $2,772,000 over July 31, 2007. Working capital was approximately
      $9,750,000, an increase of $3,407,000 over July 31, 2007. Cash
      provided by operating activities during the six months ended January 31, 2008
      was approximately $3,480,000, which primarily represents cash flows resulting
      from our realization
      of revenue from operations during the six months ended January 31, 2008. Cash
      used
      in investing activities during the six months ended January 31, 2008, amounted
      to approximately $2,899,000, primarily from the leach pad expansion and the
      acquisition of equipment, including additional conveyors and ADR plant
      equipment, as well as additional water rights related to our El Chanate Project.
      Cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended January 31,
      2008 amounted to approximately $2,164,000, primarily from the exercising of
      6,321,500 warrants for gross proceeds of approximately $2,156,000. We
      believe that our available funds in conjunction with anticipated revenues from
      gold sales will be adequate to cover operating activities at El Chanate for
      the
      life of mine as well as our leach pad and ADR plant expansion activities. We
      anticipate remaining capital expenditures to amount to approximately $1,200,000
      to complete the leach pad expansion and the ADR plant upgrade.





In
      March
      2006, we entered into a gold price protection arrangement with Standard Bank
      to
      protect us against future fluctuations in the price of gold. We agreed to a
      series of gold forward sales and call option purchases in anticipation of
      entering into the Credit Facility. Under the price protection agreement, we
      have
      agreed to sell a total volume of 121,927 ounces of gold forward to Standard
      Bank
      at a price of $500 per ounce on a quarterly basis during the period from March
      2007 to September 2010. We will also purchase call options from Standard Bank
      on
      a quarterly basis during this same period covering a total volume of 121,927
      ounces of gold at a price of $535 per ounce. To
      date,
      rather than modifying the original Gold Price Protection agreement with Standard
      Bank to satisfy these forward sale obligations ,
      we have opted
      for
      a net cash settlement between the call option purchase price of $535 and the
      forward sale price of $500, or $35.00 per oz. We have paid Standard Bank
      approximately $1,051,000 on the settlement of 30,021 ounces with corresponding
      reductions in our derivative liability ($591,000 or 16,895 ounces of gold)
      during the six months ended January 31, 2008. The remaining ounces to settle
      with regard to this agreement amounted to 91,906 as of January 31, 2008.





On
      October 11, 2006, prior to our initial draw on the Credit Facility, we entered
      into interest rate swap agreements in accordance with the terms of the Credit
      Facility, which requires that we hedge at least 50 percent of our outstanding
      debt under this facility. The agreements entered into cover $9,375,000 or 75%
      of
      the outstanding debt. Both swaps covered this same notional amount of
      $9,375,000, but over different time horizons. The first covered the six months
      that commenced on October 11, 2006 and terminated on March 31, 2007 and the
      second covers the period from March 30, 2007 through December 31, 2010. We
      intend to use discretion in managing this risk as market conditions vary over
      time, allowing for the possibility of adjusting the degree of hedge coverage
      as
      we deem appropriate. However, any use of interest rate derivatives will be
      restricted to use for risk management purposes.

We
      received a mandate letter, dated February 27, 2008, from Standard Bank to
      refinance the existing project finance facility on the El Chanate mine. The
      key
      anticipated amendments to the refinance include: 1) removal of cash restrictions
      and covenants, 2) reduction of the finance interest rate by 1.5%, 3) addition
      of
      a five million dollar line of credit at LIBOR + 2%, and 4) exercise of a portion
      of the warrants currently held by Standard Bank to provide additional support
      for El Chanate expansion plans and to fully fund the debt service reserve
      account. We anticipate a closing date by the end of April 2008.





While
      we
      believe that our available funds in conjunction with anticipated revenues from
      gold sales will be adequate to cover operating activities at El Chanate and
      general and administrative expenses for the life of the mine as well as the
      remaining capital costs associated with the leach pad and ADR plant expansion,
      if we encounter unexpected problems we may need to raise additional capital.
      We
      also may need to raise additional capital for significant property acquisitions
      and/or exploration activities. To the extent that we need to obtain additional
      capital, management intends to raise such funds through the sale of our
      securities and/or joint venturing with one or more strategic partners. We cannot
      assure that adequate additional funding, if needed, will be
      available . If
      we
      need additional capital and we are unable to obtain it from outside sources,
      we
      may be forced to reduce or curtail our operations or our anticipated exploration
      activities. Please see “ *We
      just recently started to receive cash flow from operations and, historically,
      have relied on external funding sources. While we believe that we will continue
      to generate cash flow and profits from operations, if we encounter unexpected
      problems, we may need to raise additional capital. If additional capital is
      required and we are unable to obtain it from outside sources, we may be forced
      to reduce or curtail our operations or our anticipated exploration
      activities.* ”

      Part
      II; Item 1A. “ *Risk
      Factors”* below.





**Environmental
      and Permitting Issues**





Management
      does not expect that environmental issues will have an adverse material effect
      on our liquidity or earnings. In Mexico, although we must continue to comply
      with laws, rules and regulations concerning mining, environmental, health,
      zoning and historical preservation issues, we are not aware of any significant
      environmental concerns or existing reclamation requirements at the El Chanate
      concessions. We received the required Mexican government permits for
      construction, mining and processing the El Chanate ores in January 2004. The
      permits were extended in June 2005. Pursuant to the extensions, once we file
      a
      notice that work has commenced, we have one year to prepare the site and
      construct the mine and seven years to mine and process ores from the site.
      We
      filed the notice on June 1, 2006. Once we revise our new mine plan based on
      the
      2007 Report, we will work to extend the permits for mining and processing for
      the new life of mine. We received the original explosive permit from the
      government in August 2006. This permit, as extended, expires on December 31,
      2008 and is renewable annually.





We
      own
      properties in Leadville, Colorado for which we have previously recorded an
      impairment loss. Part of the Leadville Mining District has been declared a
      federal Superfund site under the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
      Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, and the Superfund Amendments and
      Reauthorization Act of 1986. Several mining companies and one individual were
      declared defendants in a possible lawsuit. We were not named a defendant or
      Principal Responsible Party. We did respond in full detail to a lengthy
      questionnaire prepared by the Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") regarding
      our proposed procedures and past activities in November 1990. To our knowledge,
      the EPA has initiated no further comments or questions.  The Division of
      Reclamation, Mining and Safety of the State of Colorado (the "Division")
      conducted its most recent inspection of our Leadville Mining properties in
      August 2007.  The Division concluded that based upon 2007 equipment prices
      and labor costs, an additional $46,000 was necessary to be bonded with the
      Division to reclaim the site to achieve the approved postmining land use. The
      total amount of the bond sufficient to perform reclamation as of January 31,
      2008, is approximately $82,000. We have met this bonding
      requirement.





-31-




We
      do
      include in all our internal revenue and cost projections a certain amount for
      environmental and reclamation costs on an ongoing basis. This amount was
      determined at a fixed amount of $0.13 per metric tonne of material to be mined
      on a continual, ongoing basis to provide primarily for reclaiming tailing
      disposal sites and other reclamation requirements. No assurance can be given
      that environmental regulations will not be changed in a manner that would
      adversely affect our planned operations. We estimated the reclamation costs
      for
      the El Chanate site to be approximately $2,300,000. Reclamation costs are
      allocated to expense over the life of the related assets and are periodically
      adjusted to reflect changes in the estimated present value resulting from the
      passage of time and revisions to the estimates of either the timing or amount
      of
      the reclamation and abandonment costs. The asset retirement obligation is based
      on when the spending for an existing environmental disturbance and activity
      to
      date will occur. We review, on an annual basis, unless otherwise deemed
      necessary, the asset retirement obligation at each mine site.





**New
      Accounting Pronouncements**





We
      adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for
      Uncertainty in Income Taxes" ("FIN 48") effective January 1, 2007. The purpose
      of FIN 48 is to clarify and set forth consistent rules for accounting for
      uncertain tax positions in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
      Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". The cumulative effect of
      applying the provisions of this interpretation are required to be reported
      separately as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in
      the
      year of adoption. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the
      financial condition or the results of our operations.





On
      February 15, 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option
      for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an Amendment of
      FASB
      Statement No. 115. This standard permits an entity to choose to measure many
      financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. This option is
      available to all entities. Most of the provisions in Statement 159 are elective;
      however, the amendment to FASB Statement No. 115, Accounting for Certain
      Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, applies to all entities with
      available-for-sale and trading securities. Some requirements apply differently
      to entities that do not report net income. The FASB's stated objective in
      issuing this standard is as follows: "to improve financial reporting by
      providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported
      earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without
      having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions".





The
      fair
      value option established by Statement 159 permits all entities to choose to
      measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. A business
      entity will report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair
      value
      option has been elected in earnings (or another performance indicator if the
      business entity does not report earnings) at each subsequent reporting date.
      The
      fair value option: (a) may be applied instrument by instrument, with a few
      exceptions, such as investments otherwise accounted for by the equity method;
      (b) is irrevocable (unless a new election date occurs); and (c) is applied
      only
      to entire instruments and not to portions of instruments.





Statement
      159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that
      begins after November 15, 2007.  Early adoption is permitted as of the
      beginning of the previous fiscal year provided that the entity makes that choice
      in the first 120 days of that fiscal year and also elects to apply the
      provisions of FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. We do not
      anticipate this having a material impact on our financial
      statements.





-32-




On
      December 4, 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 160, *Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - An Amendment
      of
      ARB No. 51.* Statement 160 establishes new accounting and reporting standards for the
      noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a
      subsidiary. Specifically, this statement requires the recognition of a
      noncontrolling interest (minority interest) as equity in the consolidated
      financial statements and separate from the parent's equity. The amount of net
      income attributable to the noncontrolling interest will be included in
      consolidated net income on the face of the income statement. Statement 160
      clarifies that changes in a parent's ownership interest in a subsidiary that
      do
      not result in deconsolidation are equity transactions if the parent retains
      its
      controlling financial interest. In addition, this statement requires that a
      parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is
      deconsolidated. Such gain or loss will be measured using the fair value of
      the
      noncontrolling equity investment on the deconsolidation date. Statement 160
      also
      includes expanded disclosure requirements regarding the interests of the parent
      and its noncontrolling interest.





Statement
      160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal
      years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Like Statement 141R discussed
      above, earlier adoption is prohibited. We do not believe this statement will
      have a material impact on our financial statements.





**Disclosure
      About Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements**





We
      do not
      have any transactions, agreements or other contractual arrangements that
      constitute off-balance sheet arrangements.





**Critical
      Accounting Policies**





Our
      financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with
      accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
      Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and
      assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue,
      and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management’s
      application of accounting policies. Critical accounting policies for us include
      inventory, revenue recognition, property, plant and mine development, impairment
      of long-lived assets, accounting for equity-based compensation, environmental
      remediation costs and accounting for derivative and hedging activities.





Stockpiles,
      Ore on Leach Pads and Inventories (“In-Process Inventory”)





Costs
      that are incurred in or benefit the productive process are accumulated as
      stockpiles, ore on leach pads and inventories. Stockpiles, ore on leach pads
      and
      inventories are carried at the lower of average cost or net realizable value.
      Net realizable value represents the estimated future sales price of the product
      based on current and long-term metals prices, less the estimated costs to
      complete production and bring the product to sale. Write-downs of stockpiles,
      ore on leach pads and inventories, resulting from net realizable value
      impairments, are reported as a component of *Costs
      applicable to sales* .
      The
      current portion of stockpiles, ore on leach pads and inventories is determined
      based on the expected amounts to be processed within the next 12 months.
      Stockpiles, ore on leach pads and inventories not expected to be processed
      within the next 12 months are classified as long-term. The major
      classifications are as follows:





*Ore
      on Leach Pads*





The
      recovery of gold from certain gold ores is achieved through the heap leaching
      process. Under this method, oxide ore is placed on leach pads where it is
      treated with a chemical solution, which dissolves the gold contained in the
      ore.
      The resulting “pregnant” solution is further processed in a plant where the gold
      is recovered. Costs are added to ore on leach pads based on current mining
      costs, including applicable depreciation, depletion and amortization relating
      to
      mining operations. Costs are removed from ore on leach pads as ounces are
      recovered based on the average cost per estimated recoverable ounce of gold
      on
      the leach pad.




-33-




The
      estimates of recoverable gold on the leach pads are calculated from the
      quantities of ore placed on the leach pads (measured tons added to the leach
      pads), the grade of ore placed on the leach pads (based on assay data) and
      a
      recovery percentage (based on ore type). In general, leach pads recover
      approximately 50% to 95% of the recoverable ounces in the first year of
      leaching, declining each year thereafter until the leaching process is complete.





Although
      the quantities of recoverable gold placed on the leach pads are reconciled
      by
      comparing the grades of ore placed on pads to the quantities of gold actually
      recovered (metallurgical balancing), the nature of the leaching process
      inherently limits the ability to precisely monitor inventory levels. As a
      result, the metallurgical balancing process needs to be constantly monitored
      and
      estimates need to be refined based on actual results over time. Our operating
      results may be impacted by variations between the estimated and actual
      recoverable quantities of gold on its leach pads. Variations between actual
      and
      estimated quantities resulting from changes in assumptions and estimates that
      do
      not result in write-downs to net realizable value will be accounted for on
      a
      prospective basis.





*In-process
      Inventory*





In-process
      inventories represent materials that are currently in the process of being
      converted to a saleable product. Conversion processes vary depending on the
      nature of the ore and the specific processing facility, but include mill
      in-circuit, leach in-circuit, flotation and column cells, and carbon in-pulp
      inventories. In-process material are measured based on assays of the material
      fed into the process and the projected recoveries of the respective plants.
      In-process inventories are valued at the average cost of the material fed into
      the process attributable to the source material coming from the mines,
      stockpiles and/or leach pads plus the in-process conversion costs, including
      applicable depreciation relating to the process facilities incurred to that
      point in the process.





*Precious
      Metals Inventory*





Precious
      metals inventories include gold doré and/or gold bullion. Precious metals that
      result from our mining and processing activities are valued at the average
      cost
      of the respective in-process inventories incurred prior to the refining process,
      plus applicable refining costs.





*Materials
      and Supplies*





Materials
      and supplies are valued at the lower of average cost or net realizable value.
      Cost includes applicable taxes and freight.





Property,
      Plant and Mine Development





Expenditures
      for new facilities or equipment and expenditures that extend the useful lives
      of
      existing facilities or equipment are capitalized and depreciated using the
      UOP
      and straight-line method at rates sufficient to depreciate such costs over
      the
      estimated productive lives, which do not exceed the related estimated mine
      lives, of such facilities based on proven and probable reserves.





Mineral
      exploration costs are expensed as incurred. When it has been determined that
      a
      mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing
      proven and probable reserves, costs incurred prospectively to develop the
      property will be capitalized as incurred and are amortized using the UOP method
      over the estimated life of the ore body based on estimated recoverable ounces
      or
      pounds in proven and probable reserves.





-34-




Impairment
      of Long-Lived Assets





We
      review
      and evaluate our long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in
      circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable.
      An impairment is considered to exist if the total estimated future cash flows
      on
      an undiscounted basis are less than the carrying amount of the assets, including
      goodwill, if any. An impairment loss is measured and recorded based on
      discounted estimated future cash flows. Future cash flows are estimated based
      on
      quantities of recoverable minerals, expected gold and other commodity prices
      (considering current and historical prices, price trends and related factors),
      production levels and operating costs of production and capital, all based
      on
      life-of-mine plans. Existing proven and probable reserves and value beyond
      proven and probable reserves, including mineralization other than proven and
      probable reserves and other material that is not part of the measured, indicated
      or inferred resource base, are included when determining the fair value of
      mine
      site reporting units at acquisition and, subsequently, in determining whether
      the assets are impaired. The term “recoverable minerals” refers to the estimated
      amount of gold or other commodities that will be obtained after taking into
      account losses during ore processing and treatment. Estimates of recoverable
      minerals from such exploration stage mineral interests are risk adjusted based
      on management’s relative confidence in such materials. In estimating future cash
      flows, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are identifiable
      cash flows that are largely independent of future cash flows from other asset
      groups. Our estimates of future cash flows are based on numerous assumptions
      and
      it is possible that actual future cash flows will be significantly different
      than the estimates, as actual future quantities of recoverable minerals, gold
      and other commodity prices, production levels and operating costs of production
      and capital are each subject to significant risks and uncertainties.




Reclamation
      and Remediation Costs (Asset Retirement Obligations)





Reclamation
      costs are allocated to expense over the life of the related assets and are
      periodically adjusted to reflect changes in the estimated present value
      resulting from the passage of time and revisions to the estimates of either
      the
      timing or amount of the reclamation and abandonment costs. The asset retirement
      obligation is based on when the spending for an existing environmental
      disturbance and activity to date will occur. We review, on an annual basis,
      unless otherwise deemed necessary, the asset retirement obligation at our mine
      site in accordance with FASB FAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement
      Obligations.”





Deferred
      Financing Costs





Deferred
      financing costs which were included in other assets and a component of
      stockholders’ equity relate to costs incurred in connection with bank borrowings
      and are amortized over the term of the related borrowings.





Intangible
      Assets





Purchased
      intangible assets consisting of rights of way, easements and net profit
      interests are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is
      computed using the straight-line method over the economic lives of the
      respective assets, generally five years or using the UOP method. It is our
      policy to assess periodically the carrying amount of our purchased intangible
      assets to determine if there has been an impairment to their carrying value.
      Impairments of other intangible assets are determined in accordance with SFAS
      144. There was no impairment at January 31, 2008.




-35-




Fair
      Value of Financial Instruments





The
      carrying value of our financial instruments, including cash and cash
      equivalents, accounts receivable, loans receivable and accounts payable
      approximated fair value because of the short maturity of these
      instruments.





Revenue
      Recognition





Revenue
      is recognized, net of treatment and refining charges, from a sale when the
      price
      is determinable, the product has been delivered, the title has been transferred
      to the customer and collection of the sales price is reasonably assured.





Equity
      Based Compensation





In
      connection with offers of employment to our executives as well as in
      consideration for agreements with certain consultants, we issue options and
      warrants to acquire our common stock. Employee and non-employee awards are
      made
      in the discretion of the Board of Directors.





Effective
      February 1, 2006, we adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123R. Under FAS 123R,
      share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the
      estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the
      requisite service period. We adopted the provisions of FAS 123R using a modified
      prospective application. Under this method, compensation cost is recognized
      for
      all share-based payments granted, modified or settled after the date of
      adoption, as well as for any unvested awards that were granted prior to the
      date
      of adoption. Prior periods are not revised for comparative purposes. Because
      we
      previously adopted only the pro forma disclosure provisions of SFAS 123, we
      will
      recognize compensation cost relating to the unvested portion of awards granted
      prior to the date of adoption, using the same estimate of the grant-date fair
      value and the same attribution method used to determine the pro forma
      disclosures under SFAS 123, except that forfeitures rates will be estimated
      for
      all options, as required by FAS 123R.





Accounting
      for Derivatives and Hedging Activities





We
      entered into two identically structured derivative contracts with Standard
      Bank
      in March 2006. Each derivative consisted of a series of forward sales of gold
      and a purchase gold cap. We agreed to sell a total volume of 121,927 ounces
      of
      gold forward to Standard Bank at a price of $500 per ounce on a quarterly basis
      during the period from March 2007 to September 2010. We also agreed to a
      purchase gold cap on a quarterly basis during this same period and at identical
      volumes covering a total volume of 121,927 ounces of gold at a price of $535
      per
      ounce. Although these contracts are not designated as hedging derivatives,
      they
      serve an economic purpose of protecting us from the effects of a decline in
      gold
      prices. Because they are not designated as hedges, however, special hedge
      accounting does not apply. Derivative results are simply marked to market
      through earnings, with these effects recorded in *other
      income* or *other
      expense* ,
      as
      appropriate under FASB Statement No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments
      and Hedging Activities” (“FAS 133”). ****





On
      October 11, 2006, prior to our initial draw on the Credit Facility, we entered
      into interest rate swap agreements in accordance with the terms of the Credit
      Facility, which requires that we hedge at least 50 percent of our outstanding
      debt under this facility. The agreements entered into cover $9,375,000 or 75%
      of
      the outstanding debt. Both swaps covered this same notional amount of
      $9,375,000, but over different time horizons. The first covered the six months
      that commenced on October 11, 2006 and terminated on March 31, 2007 and the
      second covers the period from March 30, 2007 through December 31, 2010. We
      intend to use discretion in managing this risk as market conditions vary over
      time, allowing for the possibility of adjusting the degree of hedge coverage
      as
      we deem appropriate. However, any use of interest rate derivatives will be
      restricted to use for risk management purposes.

      variable-rate debt to finance a portion of the El Chanate Project. Variable-rate
      debt obligations expose us to variability in interest payments due to changes
      in
      interest rates. As a result of these arrangements, we will continuously monitor
      changes in interest rate exposures and evaluate hedging opportunities. Our
      risk
      management policy permits us to use any combination of interest rate swaps,
      futures, options, caps and similar instruments, for the purpose of fixing
      interest rates on all or a portion of variable rate debt, establishing caps
      or
      maximum effective interest rates, or otherwise constraining interest expenses
      to
      minimize the variability of these effects.





The
      interest rate swap agreements will be accounted for as cash flow hedges, whereby
      “effective” hedge gains or losses are initially recorded in other comprehensive
      income and later reclassified to the interest expense component of earnings
      coincidently with the earnings impact of the interest expenses being hedged.
      “Ineffective” hedge results are immediately recorded in earnings also under
      interest expense. No component of hedge results will be excluded from the
      assessment of hedge effectiveness.





We
      are
      exposed to credit losses in the event of non-performance by counterparties
      to
      these interest rate swap agreements, but we do not expect any of the
      counterparties to fail to meet their obligations. To manage credit risks, we
      select counterparties based on credit ratings, limit our exposure to a single
      counterparty under defined guidelines, and monitor the market position with
      each
      counterparty as required by SFAS 133.

      Risk.**





Not
      applicable.





**Item
      4.** **Controls
      and Procedures** **.**





The
      term
      "disclosure controls and procedures" is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)
      of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). This
      term refers to the controls and procedures of a company that are designed to
      ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports
      that it files under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and
      reported within the required time periods. In designing and evaluating the
      disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls
      and
      procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only
      reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management
      is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship
      of
      possible controls and procedures. Our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief
      Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls
      and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.
      They have concluded that, as of that date, our disclosure controls and
      procedures were effective at ensuring that required information will be
      disclosed on a timely basis in our reports filed under the Exchange
      Act.





No
      change
      in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the period
      covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely
      to
      materially affect, our internal control over financial
      reporting.

**Item
      1.**   **Legal
      Proceedings.**





None.





**Item
      1A.** **Risk
      Factors**





We
      are
      subject to various risks that may materially harm our business, financial
      condition and results of operations. If any of these risks or uncertainties
      actually occur, our business, financial condition or operating results could
      be
      materially harmed. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could
      decline and you could lose all or part of your investment.





**Risks
      related to our business and operations**





***We
      have just begun generating operating revenues. If we are unable to sustain
      operating revenues, we will not be able to generate profits and our business
      may
      fail.***





Until
      recently, we had no producing properties and, historically, have operated at
      a
      loss. We only commenced gold producing activities and started to generate
      revenues in August 2007. Our ultimate success will depend on our ability to
      generate profits from our properties. Our viability is largely dependent on
      the
      successful commercial development of our El Chanate gold mining project in
      Sonora, Mexico. While we have commenced revenue producing mining operations,
      we
      cannot assure that revenues will continue to cover cash flow or continue to
      generate profits.





***We
      just recently started to receive cash flow from operations and, historically,
      have relied on external funding sources. While we believe that we will continue
      to generate cash flow and profits from operations, if we encounter unexpected
      problems, we may need to raise additional capital. If additional capital is
      required and we are unable to obtain it from outside sources, we may be forced
      to reduce or curtail our operations or our anticipated exploration
      activities.***





Prior
      to
      the first fiscal quarter of 2008, we were not able to generate cash flow from
      operations. While we now are generating positive cash flow and profits, if
      we
      encounter unexpected problems and we are unable to continue to generate positive
      cash flow and profits, we may need to raise additional capital. We also may
      need
      to raise additional capital for property acquisition and new exploration. To
      the
      extent that we need to obtain additional capital, management intends to raise
      such funds through the sale of our securities and/or joint venturing with one
      or
      more strategic partners. We cannot assure that adequate additional funding,
      if
      needed, will be available . If
      we
      need additional capital and we are unable to obtain it from outside sources,
      we
      may be forced to reduce or curtail our operations or our anticipated exploration
      activities.





***Our
      Credit Facility with Standard Bank plc imposes restrictive covenants on us.***





Our
      Credit Facility with Standard Bank requires us, among other obligations, to
      meet
      certain financial covenants including (i) a debt service coverage ratio of
      not
      less than 1.2 to 1.0, (ii) a projected debt service coverage ratio of not less
      than 1.2 to 1.0, (iii) a loan life coverage ratio of at least 1.6 to 1.0, (iv)
      a
      project life coverage ratio of at least 2.0 to 1.0 and (v) a minimum reserve
      tail. We are also required to maintain a certain minimum level of unrestricted
      cash. In addition, the Credit Facility restricts, among other things, our
      ability to incur additional debt, create liens on our property, dispose of
      any
      assets, merge with other companies or make any investments. A failure to comply
      with the restrictions contained in the Credit Facility could lead to an event
      of
      default thereunder which could result in an acceleration of such indebtedness.

***We
      are using reconditioned equipment which could adversely affect our cost
      assumptions and our ability to economically and successfully mine the
      project.***





We
      are
      using reconditioned carbon column collection equipment to recover gold and
      Sinergia, our mining contractor, is using equipment **** that
      is
      not new. Such equipment is subject to the risk of more frequent breakdowns
      and
      need for repair than new equipment. If the equipment that we or Sinergia uses
      breaks down and needs to be repaired or replaced, we will incur additional
      costs
      and operations may be delayed resulting in lower amounts of gold recovered.
      In
      such event, our capital and operating cost assumptions may be inaccurate and
      our
      ability to economically and successfully mine the project may be hampered,
      resulting in decreased revenues and, possibly, a loss from operations.





***The
      gold deposit we have identified at El Chanate is relatively low-grade. If our
      estimates and assumptions are inaccurate, our results of operation and financial
      condition could be materially adversely affected.***





The
      gold
      deposit we have identified at our El Chanate Project is relatively low-grade.
      If
      the estimates of ore grade or recovery rates turn out to be lower than the
      actual ore grade and recovery rates, if costs are higher than expected, or
      if we
      experience problems related to the mining, processing, or recovery of gold
      from
      ore at the El Chanate Project, our results of operation and financial condition
      could be materially adversely affected. Moreover, it is possible that actual
      costs and economic returns may differ materially from our best estimates. It
      is
      not unusual in the mining industry for new mining operations to experience
      unexpected problems during the initial production phase and to require more
      capital than anticipated. There can be no assurance that our operations at
      El
      Chanate will continue to be profitable.





***We
      have only one project. As a result, our chances of conducting viable mining
      operations are dependent upon the success of that
      project.***





Our
      only
      current properties are the El Chanate concessions. Accordingly, we are dependent
      upon the success of the El Chanate concessions.





***Gold
      prices can fluctuate on a material and frequent basis due to numerous factors
      beyond our control. If and when we commence production, our ability to generate
      profits from operations could be materially and adversely affected by such
      fluctuating prices.***





The
      profitability of any gold mining operations in which we have an interest will
      be
      significantly affected by changes in the market price of gold. Gold prices
      fluctuate on a daily basis. During the month of January 2008, the spot price
      for
      gold on the London Exchange has fluctuated between $846.75 and $924.50 per
      ounce. During calendar 2007, the spot price for gold on the London Exchange
      fluctuated between $608.40 and $841.10 per ounce. Gold prices are affected
      by
      numerous factors beyond our control, including:





·
            the
                level of interest rates,


·
            the
                rate of inflation,


·
            central
                bank sales,


·
            world
                supply of gold and


·
            stability
                of exchange rates.





-39-




Each
      of
      these factors can cause significant fluctuations in gold prices. Such external
      factors are in turn influenced by changes in international investment patterns
      and monetary systems and political developments. The price of gold has
      historically fluctuated widely and, depending on the price of gold, revenues
      from mining operations may not be sufficient to offset the costs of such
      operations.





***We
      may not be successful in hedging against gold price and interest rate
      fluctuations and may incur mark to market losses and lose money through our
      hedging programs.*** ******





We
      have
      entered into metals trading transactions to hedge against fluctuations in gold
      prices, using call option purchases and forward sales, and have entered into
      various interest rate swap agreements. The terms of our Credit Facility with
      Standard Bank require that we utilize various price hedging techniques to hedge
      a portion of the gold we plan to produce at the El Chanate Project and hedge
      at
      least 50% of our outstanding loan balance. There can be no assurance that we
      will be able to successfully hedge against gold price and interest rate
      fluctuations.




Further,
      there can be no assurance that the use of hedging techniques will always be
      to
      our benefit. Hedging instruments that protect against metals market price
      volatility may prevent us from realizing the full benefit from subsequent
      increases in market prices with respect to covered production, which would
      cause
      us to record a mark-to-market loss, decreasing our revenues and profits. Hedging
      contracts also are subject to the risk that the other party may be unable or
      unwilling to perform its obligations under these contracts. Any significant
      nonperformance could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition,
      results of operations and cash flows.





To
      date,
      rather than modifying the original Gold Price Protection agreement with Standard
      Bank to satisfy these forward sale obligations ,
      we have opted
      for
      a net cash settlement between the call option purchase price of $535 and the
      forward sale price of $500, or $35.00 per oz. We have paid Standard Bank
      approximately $1,051,000 on the settlement of 30,021 ounces with corresponding
      reductions in our derivative liability ($591,000 or 16,895 ounces of gold during
      the six months ended January 31, 2008). The remaining ounces to settle with
      regard to this agreement amounted to 91,906 as of January 31, 2008. We believe
      we will be able to deliver the quantity of gold required by our forward sales
      on
      a going forward basis; however, we may continue to opt to net cash settle these
      forward sale obligations if it remains the most cost effective option for us.
      If
      we are unable for any reason to produce the quantity of gold required by our
      forward sales and generate sufficient cash flow to settle these forward sales
      in
      gold or cash, it could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition
      and cash flows.





***Our
      material property interests are in Mexico. Risks of doing business in a foreign
      country could adversely affect our results of operations and financial
      condition.***





We
      face
      risks normally associated with any conduct of business in a foreign country
      with
      respect to our El Chanate Project in Sonora, Mexico, including various levels
      of
      political and economic risk. The occurrence of one or more of these events
      could
      have a material adverse impact on our efforts or operations which, in turn,
      could have a material adverse impact on our cash flows, earnings, results of
      operations and financial condition. These risks include the
      following:





·
            labor
                disputes,


·
            invalidity
                of governmental orders,


·
            uncertain
                or unpredictable political, legal and economic
                environments,


·
            war
                and civil disturbances,


·
            changes
                in laws or policies,


·
            taxation,






-40-




·
            delays
                in obtaining or the inability to obtain necessary governmental
                permits,


·
            governmental
                seizure of land or mining claims,


·
            limitations
                on ownership,


·
            limitations
                on the repatriation of earnings,


·
            increased
                financial costs,


·
            import
                and export regulations, including restrictions on the export of gold,
                and


·
            foreign
                exchange controls.





These
      risks may limit or disrupt the project, restrict the movement of funds or impair
      contract rights or result in the taking of property by nationalization or
      expropriation without fair compensation.





***We
      sell gold in U.S. dollars; however, we incur a significant amount of our
      expenses in Mexican pesos. If applicable currency exchange rates fluctuate,
      our
      revenues and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.***





We
      sell
      gold in U.S. dollars. We incur a significant amount of our expenses in Mexican
      pesos. As a result, our financial performance would be affected by fluctuations
      in the value of the Mexican peso to the U.S. dollar.





***Changes
      in regulatory policy could adversely affect our exploration and future
      production activities.***





Any
      changes in government policy may result in changes to laws
      affecting:





·
            ownership
                of assets,


·
            land
                tenure,


·
            mining
                policies,


·
            monetary
                policies,


·
            taxation,


·
            rates
                of exchange,


·
            environmental
                regulations,


·
            labor
                relations,


·
            repatriation
                of income and/or


·
            return
                of capital.





Any
      such
      changes may affect our ability to undertake exploration and development
      activities in respect of future properties in the manner currently contemplated,
      as well as our ability to continue to explore, develop and operate those
      properties in which we have an interest or in respect of which we have obtained
      exploration and development rights to date. The possibility, particularly in
      Mexico, that future governments may adopt substantially different policies,
      which might extend to expropriation of assets, cannot be ruled out.





***Compliance
      with environmental regulations could adversely affect our exploration and future
      production activities.***





With
      respect to environmental regulation, future environmental legislation could
      require:





·
            stricter
                standards and enforcement,


·
            increased
                fines and penalties for non-compliance,






-41-




·
            more
                stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects and


·
            a
                heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers,
                directors and employees.





There
      can
      be no assurance that future changes to environmental legislation and related
      regulations, if any, will not adversely affect our operations. We could be
      held
      liable for environmental hazards that exist on the properties in which we hold
      interests, whether caused by previous or existing owners or operators of the
      properties. Any such liability could adversely affect our business and financial
      condition.





***We
      have insurance against losses or liabilities that could arise from our
      operations. If we incur material losses or liabilities in excess of our
      insurance coverage, our financial position could be materially and adversely
      affected.***





Mining
      operations involve a number of risks and hazards, including:





·
            environmental
                hazards,


·
            industrial
                accidents,


·
            metallurgical
                and other processing,


·
            acts
                of God, and/or


·
            mechanical
                equipment and facility performance problems.





Such
      risks could result in:





·
            damage
                to, or destruction of, mineral properties or production
                facilities,


·
            personal
                injury or death,


·
            environmental
                damage,


·
            delays
                in mining,


·
            monetary
                losses and /or


·
            possible
                legal liability.





Industrial
      accidents could have a material adverse effect on our future business and
      operations. We currently maintain general liability, auto and property insurance
      coverage. We cannot be certain that the insurance we have in place will cover
      all of the risks associated with mining or that we will be able to maintain
      insurance to cover these risks at economically feasible premiums. We also might
      become subject to liability for pollution or other hazards which we cannot
      insure against or which we may elect not to insure against because of premium
      costs or other reasons. Losses from such events may have a material adverse
      effect on our financial position.





***Calculation
      of reserves and metal recovery dedicated to future production is not exact,
      might not be accurate and might not accurately reflect the economic viability
      of
      our properties.***





Reserve
      estimates may not be accurate. There is a degree of uncertainty attributable
      to
      the calculation of reserves, resources and corresponding grades being dedicated
      to future production. Until reserves or resources are actually mined and
      processed, the quantity of reserves or resources and grades must be considered
      as estimates only. In addition, the quantity of reserves or resources may vary
      depending on metal prices. Any material change in the quantity of reserves,
      resource grade or stripping ratio may affect the economic viability of our
      properties. In addition, there can be no assurance that mineral recoveries
      in
      small scale laboratory tests will be duplicated in large tests under on-site
      conditions or during production.

***We
      are dependent on the efforts of certain key personnel and contractors to develop
      our El Chanate Project.  If we lose the services of these personnel and
      contractors and we are unable to replace them, our planned operations at our
      El
      Chanate Project may be disrupted and/or materially adversely
      affected.***





We
      are
      dependent on a relatively small number of key personnel, including but not
      limited to John Brownlie, Chief Operating Officer, who oversees the El Chanate
      Project, the loss of any one of whom could have an adverse effect on us. We
      are
      also dependent upon Sinergia to provide mining services.  Sinergia
      commenced mining operations on March 25, 2007, and transitioned from the
      pre-production to production phase of the mining contract in July 2007. 
Sinergia has mobilized its mining fleet to the site; however, its mining fleet
      is not new. If we lose the services of our key personnel, or if Sinergia is
      unable to effectively maintain its fleet, our planned operations at our El
      Chanate Project may be disrupted and/or materially adversely
      affected.





***There
      are uncertainties as to title matters in the mining industry. We believe that
      we
      have good title to our properties; however, any defects in such title that
      cause
      us to lose our rights in mineral properties could jeopardize our planned
      business operations.***





We
      have
      investigated our rights to explore, exploit and develop our concessions in
      manners consistent with industry practice and, to the best of our knowledge,
      those rights are in good standing. However, we cannot assure that the title
      to
      or our rights of ownership in the El Chanate concessions will not be challenged
      or impugned by third parties or governmental agencies. In addition, there can
      be
      no assurance that the concessions in which we have an interest are not subject
      to prior unregistered agreements, transfers or claims and title may be affected
      by undetected defects. Any such defects could have a material adverse effect
      on
      us.





***Our
      ability to remain profitable long-term eventually will depend on our ability
      to
      find, explore and develop additional properties. Our ability to acquire such
      additional properties will be hindered by competition. If we are unable to
      acquire, develop and economically mine additional properties, we most likely
      will not be able to be profitable on a long-term
      basis.***





Gold
      properties are wasting assets. They eventually become depleted or uneconomical
      to continue mining. The acquisition of gold properties and their exploration
      and
      development are subject to intense competition. Companies with greater financial
      resources, larger staffs, more experience and more equipment for exploration
      and
      development may be in a better position than us to compete for such mineral
      properties. If we are unable to find, develop and economically mine new
      properties, we most likely will not be able to be profitable on a long-term
      basis.





***Our
      ability on a going forward basis to discover additional viable and economic
      mineral reserves is subject to numerous factors, most of which are beyond our
      control and are not predictable. If we are unable to discover such reserves,
      we
      most likely will not be able to be profitable on a long-term
      basis.***





Exploration
      for gold is speculative in nature, involves many risks and is frequently
      unsuccessful. Few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into
      commercially producing mines. As noted above, our long-term profitability will
      be, in part, directly related to the cost and success of exploration programs.
      Any gold exploration program entails risks relating to





·
            the
                location of economic ore bodies,


·
            development
                of appropriate metallurgical processes,

·
            receipt
                of necessary governmental approvals and


·
            construction
                of mining and processing facilities at any site chosen for mining.





The
      commercial viability of a mineral deposit is dependent on a number of factors
      including:





·
            the
                price of gold,


·
            the
                particular attributes of the deposit, such as its


o
            size,


o
            grade
                and


o
            proximity
                to infrastructure,


·
            financing
                costs,


·
            taxation,


·
            royalties,


·
            land
                tenure,


·
            land
                use,


·
            water
                use,


·
            power
                use,


·
            importing
                and exporting gold and


·
            environmental
                protection.





The
      effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted.





**Risks
      related to ownership of our stock**





***We
      do not intend to pay cash dividends in the near future.***





Our
      board
      of directors determines whether to pay cash dividends on our issued and
      outstanding shares. The declaration of dividends will depend upon our future
      earnings, our capital requirements, our financial condition and other relevant
      factors. Our board does not intend to declare any dividends on our shares for
      the foreseeable future. We anticipate that we will retain any earnings to
      finance the growth of our business and for general corporate purposes.





***Provisions
      of our Certificate of Incorporation, By-laws and Delaware law could defer a
      change of our management which could discourage or delay offers to acquire
      us.***





Provisions
      of our Certificate of Incorporation, By-laws and Delaware law may make it more
      difficult for someone to acquire control of us or for our stockholders to remove
      existing management, and might discourage a third party from offering to acquire
      us, even if a change in control or in management would be beneficial to our
      stockholders. For example, our Certificate of Incorporation allows us to issue
      different series of shares of common stock without any vote or further action
      by
      our stockholders and our Board of Directors has the authority to fix and
      determine the relative rights and preferences of such series of common stock.
      As
      a result, our Board of Directors could authorize the issuance of a series of
      common stock that would grant to holders the preferred right to our assets
      upon
      liquidation, the right to receive dividend payments before dividends are
      distributed to the holders of other common stock and the right to the redemption
      of the shares, together with a premium, prior to the redemption of other series
      of our common stock.
