Notes to the Interim Financial Statements
(Unaudited – Prepared by Management)
November 30, 2005
1.
Financial Statement Presentation
These unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles on a basis consistent with those followed in the most recent audited financial statements. As described in note 7, these principles differ in certain material respects from United States generally accepted accounting principles. These unaudited interim financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements. Therefore readers are advised to refer to the company’s annual audited financial statements for the year ended February 28, 2005 for additional information.
2.
Nature of Operations
The investment in and expenditures on exploration properties comprise a significant portion of the company’s assets. Realization of the company’s investment in these assets is dependent upon obtaining the necessary financing to continue exploration and development of the properties, the attainment of successful production from the properties or from the proceeds of their disposal.
The continuing operations of the company are dependent upon its ability to continue to raise capital to funds its exploration and development programs. The company has suffered recurring losses from operations that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
3.
Exploration Properties
a)
Lust Dust Claims
i) On July 15, 1989, the Company acquired a 100% interest in certain mineral claims located in the Omineca Mining Division, British Columbia for cash of $170,000. The vendor retains a royalty of 3% of net smelter returns.
ii) On February 21, 1992, the Company acquired a 100% interest in certain mineral claims located in the Omineca Mining Division, British Columbia for $100,000 cash and 200,000 shares of the company at a deemed consideration of $0.60 each (previously subject to a 5% net profit interest to a maximum of $100,000 and a royalty of 2% of net smelter returns). In July 2003, the company acquired the retained “5% net profit interest and the 2% net smelter return royalty” for $150,000 cash.
b)
Goldbanks
On October 30, 1995, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire a 100% interest in certain mineral claims situated in Pershing County, Nevada, U.S.A. The Company had previously entered into an option agreement to acquire the mineral claims in the 1995 fiscal year. The company and the vendor agreed to terminate the option agreement dated April 30, 1994. Payment under the option agreement totalled $26,400 U.S. and was applied to the purchase.
In addition to the above payments, the Agreement calls for the issuance to the vendor of 100,000 shares of Alpha Gold Corp. As at November 30, 2005, regulatory approval had been received but the shares had not yet been issued.

Share Capital(continued)

Share issuances
During the current period:
i) 285,000 flow-through common share units and 672,260 non flow-through common share units were issued at $0.50 per unit. Each unit provided the purchasers with warrants to purchase one additional non-flow-through share at $0.50 per share expiring July 25, 2007. The company paid a cash commission of $7,350 and issued 14,700 broker warrants on a portion of the financing. The fair value of the broker warrants have been estimated using the Black-Scholes pricing option model. The assumptions used for the valuation of the warrants were: Dividend yield 0%; expected volatility 38%; a risk-free interest rate of 3.04%; and an expected life of 2 years. The value assigned to the 14,700 brokers’ warrants was $1,800.
During the prior year:
i)
575,000 flow-through common shares were issued at $0.40 per unit. Each unit provided the purchasers with warrants to purchase one additional non-flow-through share at $0.46 per share expiring July 15, 2006.
ii)
78,100 common shares were issued at $0.50 per share due to the exercise of warrants from a prior year share issue. The remainder of the warrants relating to this earlier issue have now expired.
iii)
396,400 common shares were issued at $0.43 per share due to the exercise of warrants from a prior year share issue. The remainder of the warrants relating to this earlier issue have now expired.
d)
Warrants outstanding
At November 30, 2005 the following share purchase warrants were outstanding:
Number of shares | $ per share | Expiry date |
575,000 | $ 0.46 | July 15, 2006 |
971,960 | $ 0.50 | July 25, 2007 |
e)
Options outstanding
During the current quarter, the company granted 100,000 options to purchase common shares. The options are exercisable up to November 4, 2008 at a price of $0.40. The fair value of each option was determined to be $0.093 and accordingly $9,300 was recorded as stock-based compensation and credited to contributed surplus.
At November 30, 2005 the following share purchase options were outstanding:
Number of shares | $ per share | Expiry date | |
750,000 | $ 0.40 | April 25, | 2007 |

Related Party Transactions
During the fiscal year to date, the company paid fees of $104,000 (2004 - $104,000) for contract negotiation, property investigation, property acquisition, site investigation and management of field programs and administration and management of company affairs, $6,300 (2004 - $6,000) for secretarial and bookkeeping services, and $4,500 (2004 - $4,500) for office rental to a company controlled by a director. These transactions have been recorded at the exchange amount.
7.
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) in Canada and the United States
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (Canadian GAAP) which differ in certain respects from those principles that the Company would have followed had its financial statements been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP).
Differences which materially affect the measurement of items included in the financial statements are:
U.S. GAAP requires that exploration and general and administrative costs (G&A) related to projects be charged to expense as incurred. As such, some of the costs accounted for as deferred exploration property and exploration expenditures under Canadian GAAP would have been charged to earnings under U.S. GAAP. Any other related costs in respect of the properties are charged to earnings under U.S. GAAP and capitalized under Canadian GAAP.

The Company accounts for its share options under Canadian GAAP, which in the Company’s circumstances are not different from the amounts that would be determined under provisions of U.S. GAAP.

Date
This Management Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) should be read in conjunction with the unaudited financial statements of Alpha Gold Corp. (“Alpha” or the “Company”) for the nine months November 30, 2005.

1.2
Overview
Alpha Gold Corp. is a mineral exploration company focused on the Lustdust Property located in the Omineca Mining Division of British Columbia.
On July 15, 1989, the Company acquired a 100% interest in certain mineral claims located in the Omineca Mining Division, British Columbia for cash of $170,000. The vendor retains a royalty of 3% of net smelter returns.
The Company is in the exploration stage. Exploration is primarily focused on the Lustdust property located in the Omineca Mining Division 200 km west of Ft. St. James, B.C. This property continues to show promising assay results of drilling samples. The investment and expenditure on exploration properties comprise a significant portion of the Company’s assets. Realization of the Company’s investment in those assets is dependent upon obtaining the necessary financing to continue exploration and development of the properties, the attainment of successful production from the properties or from the proceeds of their disposal.
In 2005 the Alpha Gold exploration program of core drilling and soil geochemistry sampling was successful; as such this enlarged the deposit size and outlined many additional drill targets for 2006. A large program of drilling is in the planning stage at this time for the coming season. With base metal and precious metal prices increasing, the value of the Alpha Lustdust property should increase significantly.
The Company has funds in place of approximately $1,275,000 and with the current drilling program completed the Company is well able to meet ongoing expenses.
Other Properties
On October 30, 1995, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire a 100% interest in certain mineral claims situated in Pershing County, Nevada, U.S.A. The Company had previously entered into an option agreement to acquire the mineral claims in the 1995 fiscal year. The company and the vendor agreed to terminate the option agreement dated April 30, 1994. Payment under the option agreement totaled $26,400 U.S. and applied to the purchase.
In addition to the above payments, the Agreement calls for the issuance to the vendor of 100,000 shares of Alpha Gold Corp. As at November 30, 2005 the shares had not yet been issued and the Company was uncertain as to its plans in regards to this property.
Market Trends
The upward trend in metal prices has continued to the present with gold rising rapidly to approximately US$533/oz and copper averaging US$221/lb.

Results of Operations
Overhead expenses in the third quarter of fiscal 2006 increased to $85,606, as compared to $49,360 in the third quarter of fiscal 2005.
Exploration costs decreased in the third quarter of fiscal 2006 to $39,585 compared to the same quarter of 2005, $273,139. Exploration expenditures during the quarter were: assaying (2006 - $2,072; 2005 - $6,250), camp expense (2006 - $3,704; 2005 - $4,457), drilling expenses (2006 - $7,124; 2005 - $203,676), filing fees (2006 – nil; 2005 - $1,709), on-site fuel cost (2006 – nil; 2005 - $491), geological/geochemical work and reports (2006 - $26,131; 2005 $45,058), roadwork and reclamation (2006 – nil; 2005 - $2,804), travel (2006 - $554; 2005 - $8,694).
These differences are due to an earlier completion of the drilling program in fiscal year 2006 than in fiscal year 2005.
Office and administration costs increased from $20,316 spent in the third quarter of the 2005 fiscal year to $21,692 in the third quarter of the 2006 fiscal year.
Stock-based compensation of $9,300 was charged to operations during the third quarter of fiscal year 2006 compared to $Nil in the third quarter of fiscal 2005.

1.6
Liquidity
Historically the Company’s sole source of funding has been the issuance of equity securities for cash, primarily through private placements to sophisticated investors and institutions. The Company has issued common share capital in each of the past few years, pursuant to private placement financings and the exercise of warrants or options. The Company’s access to exploration financing when the financing is not transaction specific is always uncertain. There can be no assurance of continued access to significant equity funding.
At November 30 2005, the Company had working capital of approximately $1.38 million, which is sufficient to fund its planned expenditures and commitments. As the Company chooses to proceed on additional exploration and development programs at the Lustdust project, it will need to raise additional funds for those expenditures.
The Company has no long term debt, capital lease obligations, operating leases or any other long term obligations.
The Company has no “Purchase Obligations” defined as any agreement to purchase goods or services that is enforceable and legally binding on the Company that specifies all significant terms, including: fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased; fixed, minimum or variable price provisions; and the approximate timing of the transaction.
1.7
Capital Resources
At November 30, 2005 Alpha had working capital of $1,384,000, as compared to $1,600,000 at November 30, 2004 and $1,700,000 at the end of fiscal 2005. Alpha has 25,408,944 common shares issued and outstanding at the end of the quarter.
The Company has no commitments for material capital expenses as of November 30, 2005.
1.8
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
None.
