EVOLVING GOLD CORP.
(An Exploration Stage Company)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the nine months ended December 31, 2006
(Prepared without audit)
(Stated in Canadian Dollars)
Note 1 | Nature and Continuance of Operations |
| |
| Evolving Gold Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated as 6109527 Canada Ltd. on June 19, 2003, under the Canada Business Corporation Act and is in the business of acquiring, exploring and evaluating mineral properties. On September 30, 2003, the Company changed its name to Evolving Gold Corp. At December 31, 2006 the Company was in the exploration stage and had interests in mineral properties located in Labrador, Canada and New Mexico and Nevada, United States of America. |
| |
| The recoverability of amounts shown for mineral properties is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, confirmation of the Company’s interest in the underlying mineral claims, the ability of the Company to obtain financing to complete their development, and future profitable production or disposition thereof. |
| |
| These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for its next fiscal year. Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown and these financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. At December 31, 2006, the Company does not have sufficient cash to fund its operations for the next fiscal year, has not yet achieved profitable operations, has accumulated losses of $1,609,572 since its inception and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business, all of which casts substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. The Company anticipates that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of common shares. |
| |
Note 2 | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
| |
| These interim financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Canada, using the same accounting policies and methods as per the annual financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2006. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the most recent annual financial statements of the Company. Because a precise determination of many assets and liabilities is dependent upon future events, the preparation of financial statements for a period necessarily involves the use of estimates, which have been made using careful judgement. Actual results may vary from these estimates. |

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the nine months ended December 31, 2006 – Page 2
(Prepared without audit)
(Stated in Canadian Dollars)
a) Malone Property
On April 17, 2006 the Company entered into a quitclaim deed and royalty agreement with Newmont North America Exploration Limited whereby the Company was granted all rights, title, estate and interest in unpatented mineral claims located in Lordsburg, New Mexico, United States of America in exchange for payment of US$ 10,000 (paid) and an additional US$ 10,000 payable by April 1, 2007. The agreement is subject to a royalty of 2% of net smelter returns. The Company has incurred deferred exploration costs of $156,245 on this property during the nine months ended December 31, 2006.
b) Voisey Bay Property
Pursuant to an option agreement dated May 4, 2005 between the Company and Geocore Exploration Inc. the Company was granted the right to acquire a 60% interest in a licence to a mine and explore 192 claims located in Labrador, Canada in exchange for $35,000 (paid) and the obligation to incur exploration expenditures of $200,000 by October 31, 2006 ($20,799 incurred at December 31, 2006) and an additional $300,000 by October 31, 2007. The Company also has the option to purchase an additional 20% interest in this property in exchange for a further exploration expenditure commitment of $500,000 by October 31, 2008 and delivering notice of intent to exercise the additional 20% option. The property is subject to a 1.50% net smelter return. The Company may purchase up to 50% of the royalty by paying $250,000 for each 0.25% of the royalty. During the nine months ended December 31, 2006, the Company abandoned this option and accordingly accumulated costs incurred to December 31, 2006 of $80,171 were written off.
c) Winnemuca Property
Pursuant to an option agreement dated December 3, 2004 and amended January 7, 2005, February 25, 2005, April 21, 2005, January 26, 2006, April 27, 2006, June 16, 2006 and July 7, 2006, with Golden Sands Exploration Inc. (“Golden”) and its subsidiary company AHL Holdings Ltd. (“AHL”), the company was granted the right to acquire a 100% interest in unpatented mining claims (referred to as Golden Arc claims), located in Humbolt County, Nevada (the “Winnemuca Property”). In addition the Company has staked additional unpatented mining claims.
In order to vest its interest in the Winnemuca Property the Company must make aggregate cash payments to Golden of US$70,000, issue 1,800,000 shares to Golden (or its nominee), incur exploration expenditures of US$4,000,000 and make advance royalty payments as follows:
