Notes to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements |
For the three month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 |
(Unaudited and expressed in Canadian Dollars) |
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Until March 3, 2005 Goldbelt Resources Ltd. (the Company or Goldbelt ) was designated inactive by the TSX Venture Exchange. During fiscal 2004, the Company disposed of its remaining investments in its shares of Celtic Resources Holdings PLC and Regal Petroleum Plc. The Company subsequently completed the acquisition of mineral exploration properties in Burkina Faso in Western Africa and raised $8,000,000 in fiscal 2005 by way of private placement. The Company has undertaken a detailed evaluation of the mineralization of the Inata Project portion of the Belahouro License and partial work on its additional exploration licenses in Burkina Faso. The Company is in the process of completing a scoping study of the Inata Project prior to embarking on a feasibility study and in anticipation of applying for an exploitation permit to mine this property.
The recoverability of the carrying values of mineral properties and the Company's continued existence is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the preservation of the Company's interest in the underlying mineral claims, the ability of the Company to obtain financing necessary to complete development of the properties, and the future profitable production there from or alternatively upon the Company's ability to dispose of its interests on an advantageous basis. In addition, the properties may be subject to sovereign risk, including political and economic instability, government regulations relating to mining, currency fluctuations and local inflation. Changes in future conditions could require material write-downs of the carrying values.
These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assume that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations.
If the going concern assumption were not appropriate for these interim consolidated financial statements, then adjustments would be necessary in the carrying values of assets and liabilities, the reported revenues and expenses, and the balance sheet classifications used.
These interim consolidated financial statements are prepared by management in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles and follow the same accounting policies and methods of computation as the most recent annual financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2005. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited annual consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended June 30, 2005.

3. MINERAL PROPERTIES
In 2004, the Company entered into an agreement with Resolute Mining Limited ( Resolute ) of Perth, Australia, an Australian Stock Exchange listed company, to acquire Resolute's 100% owned subsidiaries, Resolute (West Africa) Limited ( RWA ) and Resolute (West Africa) Mining Company SA ( RWASA ). The primary assets of RWA and RWASA are exploration properties in Burkina Faso in western Africa known as the Belahouro permit, and Houndé area permits. The Company is currently in discussions with Resolute relating to the Kari permit within the Houndé area which was not held by Resolute at the time of acquisition.

The subsidiaries were acquired in consideration for $1,873,350 (US$1,500,000) on closing, $1,951,056 (US$1,573,686) on or before January 31, 2006, 7,529,412 common shares of the Company and 7,529,412 common share purchase warrants valued at $3,764,706.

The Company also paid due diligence costs $330,035 (US$250,000) and issued 250,000 units valued at $125,000 consisting of one common share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to acquire an additional common share at $1.00 until March 3, 2007.

Title to mineral properties
Title to mineral properties involves certain inherent risks due to the difficulties of determining the validity of certain claims as well as the potential for problems arising from the frequently ambiguous conveyancing history characteristic of many mineral properties. The Company has investigated title to all of its mineral properties and, to the best of its knowledge, title to all of its properties, except for the Kari permit, are in good standing.

Stock option plan
The Company has a stock option plan whereby, from time to time at the discretion of the Board of Directors, stock options are granted to directors, officers, employees and certain consultants. The exercise price of each option is based on the market price of the Company's common stock at the date of grant less an applicable discount, subject to a minimum price of $0.10. The options can be granted for a maximum term of 5 years.
As at September 30, 2005, options to acquire 2,485,000 common shares were outstanding as follows:

4. CAPITAL STOCK AND CONTRIBUTED SURPLUS (continued)
Stock-based compensation
The fair value of 500,000 options granted during the period ended September 30, 2005 has been estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The current period s valuation was calculated with the following assumptions: weighted average risk free interest rate of 3.5%; volatility factor of the expected market price of the Company's common stock of 70%; and a weighted average expected life of the options of 5.0 years. The resulting weighted average cost per option granted was $0.33. The estimated fair value of the options is expensed over the vesting period.
Option pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected price volatility. Changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, and therefore the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Company's stock options.
Warrants and Agents Compensation Options
The following warrants to acquire 17,257,237 common shares and compensation options of the Company were outstanding at September 30, 2005:

Agents Compensation Options | 1,602,825 (1) | 0.50 | March 3, 2007 |
(1) The Company issued 1,068,550 units as agent s compensation options on a private placement. Each agent s compensation option is exercisable at $0.50 into one common share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to acquire one additional common share at an exercise price of $0.65 until March 3, 2007. These warrants have similar terms as disclosed in (2) below.
(2) If the closing price of the shares of the Company on the TSX Venture Exchange is $0.95 or more for 21 consecutive trading days, holders may be given written notice of a period of 30 days within which to exercise the share purchase warrants, failing which they will then expire.
