EXPLANATORY NOTE

Santa Fe Gold Corporation (we,
our or the Company) is filing this Amendment No. 3 to its Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, which was originally filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (SEC) on September 28, 2012. This Amendment No. 3 to
Form 10-K should be read in conjunction with the Form 10-K and the Companys
subsequent reports filed with the SEC. Except for the information specifically
amended and restated herein, this form 10-K/A has not been updated to reflect
events, results or developments that occurred after the date of the original
Form 10-K nor does it change any other disclosures contained in the original
Form 10-K.

This Amendment No. 3 incorporates
amendments to our Form 10-K as follows:

PART II

ITEM 9A (T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Management of the Company,
including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, is
responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over
financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act).

Our internal controls were
designed to provide reasonable assurance as to (i) the reliability of our
financial reporting; (ii) the reliability of the preparation and presentation of
the consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States; and (iii) the
safeguarding of assets from unauthorized use or disposition.

We conducted an evaluation of the
effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30,
2012 based on Internal Control  Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and we concluded that our
internal control over financial reporting was effective at a reasonable
assurance level as of June 30, 2012. Subsequent to June 30, 2012, we have
identified a material weaknesses in our internal controls in that we did not
include a separate shareholder advisory vote in our 2011 proxy statements to
approve the compensation of our named executive officers (say-on-pay vote) as
required by Rule 14a-21 under the Exchange Act. We have taken corrective action
by including a vote on a say-on-pay vote in our Proxy Statement for our Annual
Stockholders Meeting to be held August 6, 2013. In addition, we have adopted a
policy that outside securities counsel review all of our federal securities law
filings to ensure compliance therewith.

The operating effectiveness of
our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2012 has been
audited by StarkSchenkein, LLP, an independent registered public accounting
firm, as stated in their report, which is included herein.
