Explanatory Note
On June 11, 2007, the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Current Report”) to disclose that as part of its review of its periodic filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company’s management has discovered that the agreements covering the borrowings in the amount of $425,000 (the “Advances”) obtained by the Company from several private lenders (the “Lenders”) and subsequent payments of the same amounts to a certain private company (the “Owner”), party to the Joint Venture Agreement dated August 23, 2006, as amended, and binding Letter of Intent Agreement dated August 23, 2006 (collectively, the “Agreements”), as amended, were not properly accounted for by the Company in its financial statements, as more fully set forth in the Current Report. Furthermore, as also disclosed in the Current Report, as part of its review of its periodic filings made with the SEC, the Company’s management also discovered that (i) the agreements covering the Advances were not formally entered into. In light of the foregoing, on May 17, 2007, the Company entered into loan agreements (the “Agreements”) with the Lenders to formalize the terms of the Advances, as more fully set forth Current Report.
In addition, as part of its review of its periodic filings made with the SEC, the Company has also determined that the Company has previously obtained proceeds in the amount of $1,200,000 (the “Proceeds”) without entering into formal loan arrangements covering such Proceeds. In light of the foregoing, on May 17, 2007, the Company issued three promissory notes (the “Promissory Notes”) with these lenders to formalize the terms of the repayments of the Proceeds, as more fully set in the Current Report.
Last, on May 17, 2007, the Company issued amended and restated promissory notes in the aggregate amount of $400,000 to the holders of the Notes in replacement of the promissory notes previously held by the Holders, as more fully set forth Current Report.
In light of the foregoing events reported in the Current Report, the Company has determined, after consultation with its independent registered public accounting firm, that a restatement of its financial statements for the six months ended October 31, 2006 filed as part of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 20, 2006 (the “Report”), was necessary due to certain erroneous entries appearing in its financial statements. Specifically, this amended Annual Report on Form 10-QSB/A (the “Amended Report”) amends and restates the Report solely to (i) amend and restate the Company’s financial statements filed as part of the Report (the “Financial Statements”) to correct (a) the failure by the Company to properly account for the value of the Las Minitas property and the La Currita property rights (collectively, the “Mineral Rights”) acquired, and other investments made, by the Company during the six months ended October 31, 2006, as now correctly set forth in the Balance Sheet under the caption “Assets” located on page 4 of this Amended Report, (b) the failure by the Company to properly account for the Proceeds obtained during the six months ended October 31, 2006 as more fully set forth in Note #3 accompanying the Financial Statements, (c) the previously erroneous “Accumulated Deficit During Exploration Stage” entry and “Total Liabilities & Stockholders’ Deficiency” entry as of October 31, 2006, which now accounts for the acquisition of the Mineral Rights and receipt of the Proceeds by the Company, as set forth in the Statement of Shareholders Equity on page 5 of this Amended Report, (d) disclose that there was no impairment relating to the Mineral Rights as now correctly set forth in the Statement of Operations located on page 5 of this Amended Report, and (e) the erroneous “Net Loss,” “Accounts Payable and accrued expenses,” “Cash used in operating activities,” “Investments,” “Purchase of mineral properties,” “Purchase of mineral rights,” “Cash used for Investing Activities,” “Issuance of promissory notes payable” and “Cash Flow from financing activities” entries for the six months ended October 31, 2006, which now accounts for the purchase of the Mineral Rights, receipt of the Proceeds, certain investments made, and issuance of promissory notes, by the Company, (ii) correctly disclose in Note #3 accompanying the Financial Statements, the borrowings and payments made by the Company from July 31, 2006 to October 31, 2006, (iii) correctly disclose in Note #5 accompanying the Financial Statements, the negative chas flow from operation and the accumulated deficit incurred by the Company from February 9, 2005 (date of inception) to October 31, 2006, (iv) include an updated and revised review report of the Company’s independent registered public accountants relating to the Financial Statements, and (v) revise the discussion contained in the section titled “Management Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation” in light of the aforementioned changes.
Throughout this report, we refer to Raven Gold Corp. as “we,” “us,” “our company,” or “the Company.”

Item 1. Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Item 310 (b) of Regulation S-B, and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, cash flows, and stockholders' equity in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations and financial position have been included and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the three and six months ended October 31, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the year ending April 30, 2007.

We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheet of Raven Gold Corp. (formerly Riverback Resources Inc.) (An Exploration Stage Co.) as of October 31, 2006, and the related statements of operations, retained earnings, and cash flows for the period then ended, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). All information included in these financial statements is the representation of the management of Raven Gold Corp. (formerly Riverback Resources Inc.) (An Exploration Stage Co.).
A review consists principally of inquiries of company personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data. It is substantially less in scope than an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the financial statements in order for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in the notes to the financial statements, the Company’s negative cash flow and accumulated deficit raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from this uncertainty.

Note 1 | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ORGANIZATION |
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position and results of operations.
It is management’s opinion however, that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statement presentation. The results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year.
Riverbank Resources Inc. (an exploration stage company) (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on February 9, 2005. The Company is a natural resource exploration company with an objective of acquiring, exploring and if warranted and feasible, developing natural resource properties. Activities during the development stage include developing the business plan and raising capital.
On August 14, 2006 the Company filed a certificate of amendment to the Nevada Secretary of State to change its name to Raven Gold Corp.
In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 1 | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ORGANIZATION - (Continued) |
| (D) | Cash and Cash Equivalents |
For purposes of the cash flow statements, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchaser to be cash equivalent.
Pursuant to SFAS No. 141 and SFAS No. 142, as amended by EITF 04-02, mineral interest associated with other than owned are classified as tangible assets. The Company had capitalized $3,000 related to the mineral rights acquired in 2005 and which were impaired as of October 31, 2006.
The Company accounts for long-lived assets under the statements of Financial Accounting Standards Nos. 142 and 144 “Accounting for Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” and “Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets” (“SFAS No. 142 and 144”). In accordance with SFAS No. 142 and 144, long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. For purposes of evaluating the recoverability of long-lived assets, goodwill and intangible assets, the recoverability test is performed using undiscounted net cash flows related to the long-lived assets.
The Company accounts for income taxes under the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“Statement 109”). Under Statement 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under Statement 109, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Note 1 | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ORGANIZATION - (Continued) |
Basic and diluted net loss per common share is computed based upon the weighted average common shares outstanding as defined by Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings Per Share.” As of October 31, 2006, there were no dilutive securities outstanding.
The Company operates in one segment and therefore segment information is not presented.
| (J) | Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
SFAS 155, Accounting for certain Hybrid Financial Instruments and SFAS 156, Accounting for servicing of Financial Assets were recently issued. SFAS 155 and 156 have no current applicability to the Company and have no effect on the financial statements.
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. This Statement replaces APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes, and FASB statement No 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements, and changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. This (Expressed in U.S. Dollars) Statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle. It also applies to changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the usual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. SFAS 154 also requires that a change in depreciation, amortization or depletion method for long-lived, non-financial assets be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate effected by a change in accounting principle. This Statement is effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company has not yet determined the effect of implementing this standard.
NOTE 2 | ACQUISITION OF MINERAL RIGHTS |
On April 26, 2005, the Company acquired the mining rights to two claims collectively known as the Big Mike Border Gold property located in the Skeena Mining District of British Columbia, Canada, for a purchase price of $3,000. The Company received rights to all minerals contained in the Big Mike Border Gold property.

NOTE 4 | STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (Continued) |
On October 6, 2006 the Company entered into an agreement to acquire certain mineral properties from Tara Gold Resources Corp. Terms of the agreement required the Company to issue 500,000 restricted shares of common stock of the Company. On October 6 the Company issued the required restricted common stock of the Company for a stock subscription price of $100,000 ($0.20 per share).
As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company is in the exploration stage with no operations and has a negative cash flow from operations of $80,255 from inception and an accumulated deficit during the exploration stages of $92,492 from inception. This raises serious substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plans provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.

Overview
Raven Gold Corp. ("the Company", "we", "us") was incorporated in the state of Nevada on February 9, 2005. On April 26, 2005, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with Gudmund Lovang, an individual residing in North Vancouver British Columbia, whereby he sold to us a 100% undivided right title and interest in one mineral claim located in the Skeena Mining Division of British Columbia, Canada known as the Big Mike mineral property. We acquired this interest in the Big Mike property by paying $3,000 to Mr. Lovang. During the year ended April 30, 2006 the Company decided to discontinue exploration work on the Big Mike mineral project property and consequently the mineral rights were impaired 100%.
On June 1, 2006 the company entered an agreement with Tara Gold Resources Corp for the "Las Minita" property. The Las Minitas Property is located in Sonora, Mexico, approximately 40 air kilometers northwest of the town of Alamos. The property lies at the western edge of the province known as the Sierra Madre Occidental gold-silver belt where a number of successful gold/silver exploration projects are ongoing. Historical information regarding Las Minitas indicates three mineralized zones of interest that contain an estimated of 13,534,398 million tonnes of ore grading 7.58 oz/t silver and 0.0089 oz/t gold. Metallurgical testing indicates that recoveries of 90% for both silver and gold may be achievable by cyanidation alone. The Company will focus its initial efforts on the validation of the previous exploration work that outlined three wide, high-grade, lode-type mineralized bodies: the North, Central, and El Negro zones, with postulated strike lengths of 400, 500, and 700 meters respectively. These three zones are considered to be outstanding precious metal exploration targets and Tara Gold is currently developing a plan to confirm previous findings and conduct a focused sampling and drilling program.
On May 30, 2006 the company entered an agreement with Tara Gold Resources Corp for the "La Currita" property. In this agreement Raven Gold Corp. has the option to earn up to 60% interest in the La Currita Groupings by making certain payments to Tara Gold, issuing 750,000 shares, making all remaining property payments and by spending a minimum of $3.5 million over the next 36 months. In addition to the capital investment on exploration and mill expansion, Raven Gold Corp. is required to expand the La Currita Mill to a minimum of 4,000 tons per month before earning 40% and a minimum of 8,000 tons per month before earning 60% interest. The property includes 4 mines, a 150 ton/day operating floatation mill and stockpiled ore. The La Currita mine was in steady production from 1983 until 1998. A diamond drilling exploration program conducted in 1998 indicated 109,000 tons of 2.59 g/t Au and 200 g/t Ag. La Currita Groupings are located in the Sierra Madre Gold-Silver belt.
Our financial results depend upon many factors, particularly the price of gold and silver and our ability to market our production. Commodity prices are affected by changes in market demands, which are impacted by overall economic activity, basis differentials and other factors. As a result, we cannot accurately predict future gold and silver prices, and therefore, we cannot determine what effect increases or decreases will have on our capital program, production volumes and future revenues. In addition to production volumes and commodity prices, finding and developing sufficient amounts of gold and silver reserves at economical costs are critical to our long-term success.
Plan of Operation
Our plan of operation for the next twelve months is to complete our efforts on the validation of the previous exploration work with respect to the “Las Minita” and “La Currita” properties.
We have not earned any revenues from the date of our incorporation on February 9, 2005 to October 31, 2006. We do not anticipate earning revenues unless we achieve net operating revenues from our “Las Minita” and “La Currita” properties, which is questionable pending the exploration and mill expansion results. We have not commenced the exploration stage of our business and can provide no assurance that we will discover gold or mineral findings on the properties, or if such findings are discovered, that we will enter into commercial production.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended October 31, 2006 Compared to Three Months Ended October 31, 2005
We did not have any revenues for the three months ended October 31, 2006.
We did not incur any exploration expenses during the three months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005, as we have not commenced the exploration stage of our business. As we did not earn any revenues for three months ended October 31, 2006, our cost of revenues for three months ended October 31, 2006 was 0.
Our principal expenses during the three months ended October 31, 2006 were listing and filings fees associated listing, professional, administrate and foreign currency transaction costs. Our listing and filing expenses during the three months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005 increased approximately 962% from $1,805 to $19,165. The primary reasons for the increase were the additional transactions requiring higher filing costs.
Our professional fees, including legal, accounting and public relations fees, were $6,812 for the three months ended October 31, 2006, as compared to $4,438 during the three months ended October 31, 2005. The primary reason for the increase of $2,374 or 53.5% was due an increase in our investor relations fees for period ended October 31, 2006.
Our general and administrative expenses were $337 for the three months ended October 31, 2006, as compared to $3,050 during the three months ended October 31, 2005. The decreased level of expenses being incurred by the Company arises out of its efforts to reduce overhead expenses and manage administrative costs.
Total expenses for the three months ended October 31, 2006 were $26,314 as compared to $9,293 for the three months ended October 31, 2005, representing an increase in total expenses of $17,021 or 183%. The increase was primarily due to a substantial increase in filing costs incurred by the Company associated with an increased amount of transactions undertaken by the Company.
Our net loss for the three months ended October 31, 2006 was $27,607 compared to a net loss of $9,293 for three months ended October 31, 2005, an increase of $18,314, or 197%. The net loss increase was primarily due to the listing and filing expenses incurred by us in satisfying requirements of being a reporting company.
Six Months Ended October 31, 2006 Compared to Six Months Ended October 31, 2005
We did not have any revenues for the six months ended October 31, 2006.
We did not incur any exploration expenses during the six months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005, as we have not commenced the exploration stage of our business. As we did not earn any revenues for six months ended October 31, 2006, our cost of revenues for six months ended October 31, 2006 were 0.
Our principal expenses during the six months ended October 31, 2006 were listing and filings fees associated primarily composed of professional fees, administrative and investor relation costs. Our listing and filing expenses during the six months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005 increased approximately 622.16% from $2,712 to $19,585. The primary reasons for the increase were the more transactions undertaken by the Company requiring higher compliance and filing costs.
Our professional fees, including legal, accounting and public relations fees, were $13,039 for the six months ended October 31, 2006, as compared to $7,452 during the six months ended October 31, 2005. The primary reason for the increase of $5,587 or 74.97% was the investor relations fee of $5,000.
Our general and administrative expenses were $368 for the six months ended October 31, 2006, as compared to $6,140 during the six months ended October 31, 2005. The decreased level of expenses being incurred by the Company is attributed to our efforts to reduce general and administrative costs and a better management of costs.
Total expenses for the six months ended October 31, 2006 were $32,992 as compared to $16,304 for the six months ended October 31, 2005, representing an increase in total expenses of $16,688 or 102.35%. The increase was primarily due to higher listing, filing and investor relations costs.
Our net loss for the six months ended October 31, 2006 was $34,285 compared to a net loss of $16,313 for six months ended October 31, 2005, an increase of $17,972, or 102%. The net loss increase was primarily due to an increase in professional, listing and filing fees.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our total current assets as of October 31, 2006 were $186,592, including $176,465 in cash as compared with $1,370 in total current assets as of April 30, 2005, which included cash of $0. Additionally, we had a shareholders deficiency in the amount of $35,872 as of October 31, 2006 as compared to shareholders’ deficiency of $1,587 as of April 30, 2005. We have historically incurred losses and have financed our operations through loans and from the proceeds of the corporation selling shares of our common stock privately.
The number of common shares outstanding increased from 7,424,000 to 37,120,000 as of October 31, 2006. This increase was primarily a result of a 5-for-1 forward stock split of the Company’s common stock which was we effected in August of 2006.
We had $23,678 of negative cashflow (cash outflow) from operating activities for the six months ended on October 31, 2006, compared to a negative cash flow of $19,805 for the six months ended October 31, 2005, an increase in cash outflow of approximately 19.5% or $3,873.
We had $1,778,100 of cash inflow from financing activities during the six months ended October 31, 2006, as compared to no cash flow from financing activities for the six months ended October 31, 2005, attributable to issuance of promissory notes payable.
We had $1,575,000 cash outflow from investing activities for the six months ended on October 31, 2006, and we did not have any cash outflow from investing activities during the six months ended on October 31, 2005.
The on-going negative cash flow from operations raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company's ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan.
The Company has not realized any revenues since inception, and for the six month period ended October 31, 2006, and it is presently operating at an ongoing deficit.
We have not attained profitable operations and will require additional funding in order to cover the anticipated professional fees and general administrative expenses and to proceed with the anticipated investigation to identify and purchase new mineral properties worthy of exploration or any other business opportunities that may become available to the company. The Company anticipates that additional funding will be required in the form of equity financing from the sale of the company's common stock. However, the Company cannot provide investors with any assurance that it will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of its common stock to fund the purchase and the development of any future projects. The Company believes that debt financing will not be an alternative for funding future corporate programs. The Company does not have any arrangements in place for any future equity financings.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
We have identified the policies outlined below as critical to our business operations. The list is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all of our accounting policies. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, with no need for management's judgment in their application. The impact and any associated risks related to these policies on our business operations are discussed throughout Management's Plan of Operations where such policies affect our reported and expected financial results. Note that our preparation of the financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from those estimates.
Mineral Interest
Pursuant to SFAS No. 141 and SFAS No. 142, as amended by EITF 04-02, mineral interest associated with other than owned properties are classified as tangible assets. The mineral rights will be amortized using the units-of-production method when production at each project commences.
Long-lived Assets
The Company accounts for long-lived assets under the statements of Financial Accounting Standards Nos. 142 and 144 “Accounting for Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” and “Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets” (“SFAS No. 142 and 144”). In accordance with SFAS No. 142 and 144, long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. For purposes of evaluating the recoverability of long-lived assets, goodwill and intangible assets, the recoverability test is performed using undiscounted net cash flows related to the long-lived assets.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“Statement 109”). Under Statement 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under Statement 109, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
Going Concern
As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company is in the exploration stage and has not commenced the exploration stage of its business and has a negative cash flow from operations of $80,255 from inception. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company's ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plans provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.
We currently do not have enough cash to satisfy our minimum cash requirements for the next twelve months. In addition, we will require additional funds to expand operations.
