EXPLANATORY NOTE

Yukon-Nevada Gold Corp. (the Corporation) is a Canadian
issuer eligible to file its annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), on Form 40-F.
The Corporation is a foreign private issuer as defined in Rule 3b-4 under the
Exchange Act and Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
Securities Act). Equity securities of the Corporation are accordingly under
the Exchange Act exempt from Sections 14(a), 14(b), 14(c), 14(f) and 16 of the
Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 3a12-3.

The Corporation prepares its consolidated financial statements
in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as
issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Unless otherwise
indicated, all dollar amounts in this report are in U.S. dollars. The exchange
rate of Canadian dollars into United States dollars, on December 30, 2011, based
upon the Bank of Canada noon exchange rate, was U.S.$1.00 = CDN$1.0170.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This annual report on Form 40-F and the exhibits attached
hereto contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable
laws concerning the Corporations plans at its properties, plans related to its
business and other matters. These statements relate to analyses and other
information that are based on forecasts of future results, estimates of amounts
not yet determinable and assumptions of management.

Statements concerning mineral reserves and resource estimates
may also be deemed to constitute forward-looking statements to the extent that
they involve estimates of the mineralization that will be encountered if the
property is developed, and in the case of mineral reserves or resources, such
statements reflect the conclusion based on certain assumptions that the mineral
deposit can be economically exploited. Any statements that express or involve
discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans,
projections, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance (often, but
not always, using words or phrases such as expects, anticipates, plans,
estimates or intends, or the negative or other variations of these words or
other comparable words or phrases or stating that certain actions, events or
results may, could, would, might or will be taken, occur or be
achieved) are not statements of historical fact and may be forward-looking
statements. Forward-looking statements also include the Corporations
expectation that it will be able to increase the daily production amounts, and
will be processing a larger portion of higher grade ore, from the Smith and
SSX-Steer mines and that a significant improvement in margins will be realized;
that the Corporations new tailings facility will extend the life of the
facility for several years and bring the Corporation into compliance with
current environmental standards; that surface core drilling at Jerritt Canyon
will continue into 2012 as long as the weather remains favorable for drilling;
that the remaining costs to dissolve YS Mining Inc. will be nominal; that
certain upgrades made in early 2012 at Jerritt Canyon will have a significant
impact on the mills output capacity; managements belief that, while some
financing may be needed for investment into the facility and future expansion at
Jerritt Canyon, cash generated from processing mined ore and available
stockpiles, along with possible toll milling in the future, should be sufficient
to meet the ongoing capital and maintenance requirements of the Corporation;
that current cash flows from operations are improving and returning to
maintenance levels; that the Corporation will focus on ramping up production
from the SSX-Steer mine, processing available stockpiles, and continue receiving
ore from the Smith mine, while pursuing profitable opportunities to process
third party ore, either under a purchase agreement or toll milling arrangement;
that the Corporation will continue building the necessary infrastructure and
making equipment purchases in order to open a third mine, Starvation Canyon,
located on the south end of Jerritt Canyon; the Corporations expectation that
it will release a new reserve update in the second quarter of 2012; that if
permitting is approved on a timely basis, the Corporation will be able to
commence construction of the planned tailings facility in the Yukon Territory
and commence mining upon its completion; that Starvation Canyon will be capable
of

-3-

---

delivering up to 600 tons of ore per day; and the Corporations
anticipation that the second tailings facility at Jerritt Canyon would provide
six years of storage at planned production rates. Forward-looking statements are
subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties which could cause actual events
or results to differ from those reflected in the forward-looking statements,
including, without limitation:

- precious metal price fluctuations;
- operating hazards and risks;
- risks and uncertainties relating to the exploration and development of
  mineral properties;
- uncertainty attributable to the calculation of reserves, resources and
  metal recoveries;
- uncertainty of title to mining properties;
- risks related to the issuance of debt;
- risks associated with dilution;
- risks related to environmental regulation and liability;
- risks related to the possibility that the Corporation is a passive foreign
  investment company; and
- uncertainty associated with enforcing civil liabilities of the Corporation
  and its directors and officers in Canada.

Some of the important risks and uncertainties that could affect
the Corporations forward-looking statements are described further in the
Corporations Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2011, a
copy of which is filed as an exhibit hereto, under the heading Risk Factors.
Should one or more of these risks and uncertainties materialize, or should
underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from
those described in forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are
made based on managements beliefs, estimates and opinions on the date the
statements are made and the Corporation undertakes no obligation to update
forward-looking statements if these beliefs, estimates and opinions or other
circumstances should change, except as required by law. Investors are cautioned
against placing undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

NOTE TO UNITED STATES READERS -DIFFERENCES IN
UNITED STATES AND CANADIAN REPORTING PRACTICES

The Corporation is permitted, under a multijurisdictional
disclosure system adopted by the United States, to prepare this annual report on
Form 40-F in accordance with Canadian disclosure requirements, which are
different from those of the United States. The Corporation prepares its
financial statements, which are filed with this report on Form 40-F, in
accordance with IFRS, and they may be subject to Canadian auditing and auditor
independence standards. They may not be comparable to financial statements of
United States companies.

RESOURCE AND RESERVE ESTIMATES

The terms mineral reserve, proven mineral reserve and
probable mineral reserve used in the Corporations disclosure are Canadian
mining terms that are defined in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 
Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (NI 43-101) under the guidelines
set out in the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the
CIM) Best Practice Guidelines for the Estimation of Mineral Resource and
Mineral Reserves (the CIM Standards), adopted by the CIM Council on November
23, 2003. These definitions differ from the definitions in the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) Industry Guide 7 under the
Securities Act. Under Industry Guide 7 standards, mineralization may not be
classified as a reserve unless the determination has been made that the
mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted at the
time the reserve determination is made. Under Industry Guide 7 standards, a
final or bankable feasibility study is required to report reserves, the
three-year historical average price is used in any reserve or cash flow analysis
to designate reserves and the primary environmental analysis or report must be
filed with the appropriate governmental authority.

The terms mineral resource, measured mineral
  resource, indicated mineral resource and inferred mineral
  resource used in the Corporations disclosure are Canadian mining
  terms that are defined in accordance with NI 43-101 under the guidelines set
  out in the CIM Standards; however, these terms are not defined terms under Industry
  Guide 7 and are normally not permitted to be used in reports and registration
  statements filed with the Commission. Investors are cautioned not to assume
  that any part or all of mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted
  into reserves. Inferred mineral resources have a great amount of
  uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic
  and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred
  mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category.

-4-

---

Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources
  may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, except in
  rare cases. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an
  inferred mineral resource exists or is economically or legally mineable. Disclosure
  of contained ounces in a resource is permitted disclosure under
  Canadian regulations; however, the Commission normally only permits issuers
  to report mineralization that does not constitute reserves by Commission
  Industry Guide 7 standards as in place tonnage and grade without reference to
  unit measures.

Accordingly, information contained in this annual report on
Form 40-F and the documents incorporated by reference herein containing
descriptions of the Corporations mineral deposits may not be comparable to
similar information made public by U.S. companies subject to the reporting and
disclosure requirements under the United States federal securities laws and the
rules and regulations thereunder.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

At the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation
of the effectiveness of the design and operations of the Corporations
disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e)
of the Exchange Act) was carried out by the Corporations principal executive
officer and principal financial officer. Based upon that evaluation, the
Corporations principal executive officer and principal financial officer have
concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the design
and operation of the Corporations disclosure controls and procedures are
effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports that
the Corporation files or submits to regulatory authorities is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by
regulation, and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the
Corporations principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to
allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management Report on Internal Control Over Financial
Reporting

Management of the Corporation is responsible for establishing
and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, and has
designed such internal control over financial reporting to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and preparation of
financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS.

Management has used the Internal Control  Integrated Framework
to evaluate the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting,
which is a recognized and suitable framework issued by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

-5-

---

Because of the inherent limitations, internal control over
financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections
of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk
that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that
the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management assessed the effectiveness of the Corporations internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2011. Based on its assessment, management
has concluded that, as of December 31, 2011, the Corporation maintained
effective internal control over financial reporting.

Material Weakness

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of
deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a
reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the companys annual or
interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely
basis. As of December 31, 2010 it was concluded that the Corporations internal
controls were not designed or operating effectively as a result of a material
weakness in controls over inventory. Specifically i) the design and operation of
the work-in-process reconciliations to track movement of ounces through the
refinery were not performed on a timely basis and did not maintain an accurate
record of ounces in the refinery. This resulted in the loss of 2,700 gold ounces
as disclosed in the September 30, 2010 quarterly financial statements; and ii)
additional deficiencies were identified in the operation of controls around
reconciliations of finished gold.

Remediation activities:

Following the identification of the unaccounted for gold in the
third quarter of 2010, the following measures were taken to strengthen the
controls over inventory:

|• | Further security measures were implemented in the
      refinery, including an upgrade of the current scanning
equipment.
|- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|  |                                                                                                                          
|• | Additional resources were appointed at the mine site
      including:                                                    
|  |                                                                                                                          
|  | o                                                                                                                        
|  |                                                                                                                          
|  | o                                                                                                                        
|  |                                                                                                                          
|  | o                                                                                                                        

As a result of these mitigating measures undertaken in 2011 the
timely and accurate measurement of gold inventory has taken place, and there has
not been a reoccurrence of missing gold ounces as was experienced in 2010. Based
on this, it has been concluded that the 2010 identified material weakness has
been remediated and no such weakness exists as of December 31, 2011.

The Corporations independent registered public accounting
firm, Deloitte & Touche LLP, has issued an attestation report on
managements assessment of the Corporations internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2011. The report can be found in Deloitte &
Touche LLPs Report of Independent Registered Chartered Accountants included in
the Corporations financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2011 and
2010 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Except as discussed above, there has been no change in the
Corporations internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 that has materially affected, or is
reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporations internal control over
financial reporting.

NOTICES PURSUANT TO REGULATION BTR

-6-

---

There were no notices required by Rule 104 of Regulation BTR
that the Corporation sent during the year ended December 31, 2011 concerning any
equity security subject to a blackout period under Rule 101 of Regulation
BTR.

AUDIT COMMITTEE AND FINANCIAL EXPERT

The Board of Directors has a separately-designated standing
Audit Committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the
Exchange Act for the purpose of overseeing the accounting and financial
reporting processes of the Corporation and audits of the Corporations annual
financial statements. As of the date of this annual report on Form 40-F, the
members of the Audit Committee are Messrs. Jay Schnyder, Gerald Ruth and Robert
F. Baldock.

The Corporation has determined that all members of the Audit
Committee are independent, as such term is defined under the NYSE Amex Company
Guide, except for Mr. Baldock. Further, the Corporation has determined that all
members of the Audit Committee are financially literate, meaning that they must
be able to read and understand financial statements, and that the Chairman of
the Audit Committee, Mr. Ruth, is an audit committee financial expert, as
defined in Form 40-F.

CODE OF ETHICS

The Corporation has adopted a written code of ethics for its
directors and officers entitled Code of Conduct and Conflict of Interest
Guidelines for Directors and Officers (the Code). The Code includes, among
other things, written standards for the Corporations principal executive
officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer or
controller, or persons performing similar functions, which are required by the
Commission for a code of ethics applicable to such officers. A copy of the Code
is posted on the Corporations website at www.yukon-nevadagold.com under
Corporate Info/Governance Policy.

No substantive amendments to the Code were adopted during the
year ended December 31, 2011. No waiver or implicit waiver, as such terms
are defined in Form 40-F, was granted relating to any provision of the Code
during the year ended December 31, 2011.

PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES

Deloitte & Touche LLP has served as the Corporations
auditing firm since October 27, 2010. Aggregate fees billed to the Corporation
for professional services rendered by Deloitte & Touche LLP and its
affiliates during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010
are detailed below (stated in Canadian dollars):

|                   |   | Fiscal 2011 |  |   | Fiscal 2010 | 
|------------------ | - | ----------- |  | - | ----------- | 
|Audit Fees         | $ | 337,000     |  | $ | 210,000     | 
|Audit-Related Fees | $ | 40,000      |  | $ | -           | 
|Tax Fees           | $ | 62,500      |  | $ | -           |

|Total Fees         | $ | 439,500     |  | $ | 210,000     | 

The nature of each category of fees is as follows:

Audit Fees:

Audit fees were paid for professional services rendered by the
auditors for the audit of the Corporations annual financial statements, reviews
of the Corporations condensed consolidated interim financial statements and
attestation services provided in connection with statutory and regulatory
filings or engagements.

Audit-Related Fees:

Audit-related fees are defined as the aggregate fees billed for
assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of
the audit or review of the Corporations financial statements and are not
reported under the Audit Fees item above. This category comprises fees billed
for advisory services associated with the Corporations financial reporting.

-7-

---

Tax Fees:

Tax fees are defined as the aggregate fees billed for
professional services rendered by the Corporations external auditor for tax
compliance, tax advice and tax planning. No payments were made for tax services
during 2010.

All Other Fees:

There were no other fees paid with respect to 2010 and
2011.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures:

All services to be performed by the Corporations auditor must
be approved in advance by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee has
considered whether the provision of services other than audit services is
compatible with maintaining the auditors independence and has adopted a policy
governing the provision of these services. This policy requires the pre-approval
by the Audit Committee of all audit and non-audit services provided by the
external auditor, other than any de minimis non-audit services allowed by
applicable law or regulation.

Pre-approval from the Audit Committee can be sought for planned
engagements based on budgeted or committed fees. No further approval is required
to pay pre-approved fees. Additional pre-approval is required for any increase
in scope or in final fees.

Of the total aggregate fees paid by the Corporation to its
accountants during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, $nil, or 0% of the
aggregate fees, were approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to the de
minimis exception provided by Section (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of
Regulation S-X.
