EXPLANATORY NOTE
Xtra-Gold Resources Corp. (the “Company”) filed an Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 (the “Original Filing”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2010. We are providing management’s report on internal control over financial reporting, which was inadvertently omitted from the Original Filing.
For purposes of this Amendment No. 1, and in accordance with Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), Item 9A of the Original Filing has been amended and restated in its entirety. In addition, as required by Rule 12b-15 under the Exchange Act, new certifications by our principal executive officer and principal financial officer are being filed as exhibits to this Amendment No. 1.
Except as described above, this Amendment No. 1 does not amend, update or otherwise modify the Original Filing. This Amendment continues to speak as of the date of the Original Filing, and the Company has not updated the disclosure contained therein to reflect events that have occurred since the date of the Original Filing. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Company’s other filings made with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the Original Filing.

PART II
Item 9A.DisclosureControls and Procedures
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer who also serves as our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Report.
Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this Report our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective such that the information required to be disclosed in our Securities and Exchange Commission reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms; and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our Chief Executive Officer is not a financial or accounting professional, and we lack any accounting staff who are sufficiently trained in the application of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Until such time as we hire a chief financial officer or similarly titled person with the requisite experience in the application of U.S. GAAP, there is a likelihood that we may experience material weaknesses in our disclos ure controls that may result in errors in our financial statements in future periods.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP.
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected.
Management conducted an evaluation of the design and operation of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, based on the criteria set forth inInternal Control – Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. This evaluation included review of the documentation of controls, evaluation of the design effectiveness of controls, testing of the operating effectiveness of controls and a conclusion on this evaluation. As noted above, our Chief Executive Officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this Report our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective such that the information required to be disclosed in our Securities and Exchange Commission reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms; and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our man agement, including our Chief Executive Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our Chief Executive Officer is not a financial or accounting professional, and we lack any accounting staff who are sufficiently trained in the application of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Until such time as we hire a chief financial officer or similarly titled person with the requisite experience in the application of U.S. GAAP, there is a likelihood that we may experience material weaknesses in our disclosure controls that may result in errors in our financial statements in future periods.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with our evaluation that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
