We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheet of Raven Gold Corp. as of July 31, 2007, and the related statements of operations, retained earnings, and cash flows for the three months 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.
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.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
July 31, 2007
(Stated in US Dollars)
(Unaudited)
| The information presented in the accompanying interim three months financial statements is unaudited. The information includes all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. These interim financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of their application as the Company’s April 30, 2007 annual financial statements. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. It is suggested that these interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company’s April 30, 2007 annual financial statements. |
Note 2 | Basis of Presentation |
| 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 twelve months. 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 July 31, 2007, the Company had not yet achieved profitable operations, has accumulated losses of $308,858 since its inception, has a working capital deficiency of $2,477,238 (April 30, 2007 - $2,031,168) 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. Management has no formal plan in place to address this concern but considers that the Company will be able to obtain additional funds by equity financing and/or related party advances, however there is no assurance of additional funding being available. |
The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on February 9, 2005 under the name of Riverbank Resources , Inc.
Note 3 | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 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.
The financial statements have, in management’s opinion been properly prepared within the framework of the significant accounting policies summarized below:

NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
July 31, 2007
(Stated in US Dollars)
(Unaudited)
Note 3 | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies– (cont’d) |
a) Use of estimates
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.
b) 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.
c) Mineral Interest
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 April 30, 2007.
d) 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.
e) Foreign Currency Translation
The Company’s functional currency is the United States dollar as substantially all of the Company’s operations were in the United States. The Company uses the United States dollar as its reporting currency for consistency with registrants of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and in accordance with the SFAS No. 52.

Note 3 | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies– (cont’d) |
e) Foreign Currency Translation – (cont’d)
Assets and liabilities dominated in a foreign currency were translated at the exchange rate in effect at the period end and capital accounts are translated at historical rates. Income statement accounts are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the period. Translation adjustments arising from the use of difference exchange rates from period to period were included in the cumulative effect of foreign currency translation adjustment account in stockholders’ equity.
Transactions undertaken in currencies other than the functional currency of the entity are translated using the exchange rate in effect as of the transaction date. Any exchange gains and losses are included in the Statement of Operations.
f) 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.
g) Loss Per Share
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 July 31, 2007, there were no dilutive securities outstanding.
h) Business Segments
The Company operates in one segment and therefore segment information is not presented
Note 4 | 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.

Overview
Raven Gold Corp. ("the Company", "we", "us") was incorporated in the state of Nevada on February 9, 2005. On April 26, 2005, we 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%.
In August of 2006 and effective as of June 1, 2006 we entered an agreement with Tara Gold Resources Corp for the "Las Minitas" 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. We plan to focus our 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.
In addition, in August of 2006 and effective as of May 30, 2006 we 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, we are 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.
On February 23, 2007, we filed a Certificate of Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, (the “Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada that was effective as of March 5, 2007, to increase our authorized common stock from 69,000,000 shares to 500,000,000 shares (the “Increase”). In addition, we filed the Amendment to effect a forward split (the “Forward Split”) of all of our shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of the close of business on March 5, 2007 (the “Split Date”), whereby we issued for every 1 share of our common stock issued and outstanding as of the close of business on the Split Date, 1 additional share of our common stock.
Effective as of March 6, 2007, in connection with the Forward Split, our Common Stock commenced trading under the new ticker symbol “RVNG.OB”.
On May 3, 2007, we entered into the La Currita Groupings Agreement (the "Groupings Agreement") with Tara Gold Resources Corp. ("Tara") setting forth the agreements reached by our company and Tara to amend and replace in its entirety the Joint Venture Agreement (the "JV Agreement") dated August 23, 2006, entered into by and among our company, Tara and Corporacion Amermin S.A. de C.V., a 97% owned subsidiary of Tara ("Amermin"), as amended by Amendment No. 1 to JV Agreement dated March 30, 2007, pursuant to which we agreed to acquire certain rights, including but not limited to, the following: (1) to earn an initial 25% undivided interest in La Currita Groupings ("La Currita"), conditional on our company making certain payments to Tara; (2) acquiring the right to increase our interest in La Currita to 40%, by meeting certain notice and payment terms of the Agreement; and (3) acquiring the right to increase our interest in La Currita to 60%, by meeting certain notice and payment terms of the Agreement, all as more fully set forth in the Agreement, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on May 9, 2007.
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.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended July 31, 2007 Compared to Three Months Ended July 31, 2006
Revenues for the three months ended July 31, 2007 and the three months ended July 31, 2006 were nil. As such, there is no meaningful comparison for these periods.
For the three months ended July 31, 2007, general and administrative expenses totaled $10,712 compared with $31 for the three months ended July 31, 2006. This represents an increase of $10,681, or 34,445%. The increase in general and administrative expenses is a result of expenditures required to maintain an infra-structure to support increased activity going to the next level of exploration.
Total expenses for the three months ended July 31, 2007 totaled $39,411 compared with $6,678 for the three months ended July 31, 2006. This represents an increase of $32,733, or 490%. The increase in total expenses is a result of expenditures required to maintain an infra-structure to support increased activity going to the next level of exploration.
Interest expense was $56,577 and nil for the three months ended July 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. This was an increase of $56,577. The reason for this increase is that, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the outstanding promissory notes, interest was to start accruing with effect from May 1, 2007.
Our net loss was $(96,070) for the three months ended July 31, 2007 compared to a net loss of $(6,678) for the three months ended July 31, 2006, an increase of $(89,392), or 1,339%. The increase in the net loss for the three months ended July 31, 2007 was due to accrued interest on promissory notes and the increase in expenses required to maintain an infra-structure to support increased activity going to the next level of exploration.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of July 31, 2007 we had total current assets of approximately $99,494 with a cash balance of $97,994. Management plans to use the current cash on hand for operations.
Net cash used in operating activities was $(82,812) for the three months ended July 31, 2007, compared to $(3,004) for the three months ended July 31, 2006, an increase of $(79,808) or 2,657%. The increase in net cash used in operating activities is primarily the result of
Increased operating expenses and accrued interest on promissory notes.
Net cash used in investing activities was $(600,000) for the three months ended July 31, 2007 compared to net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended July 31, 2006 of $(425,000), which is an increase of $(175,000) or 242%. The net cash used in investing activities increased primarily due to purchase of mineral rights
Net cash used in financing activities was $459,135 for the three months ended July 31, 2007 compared to net cash used in financing activities of $428,100 for the three months ended July 31, 2006, which is an increase in net cash provided by financing activities of $31,035 or 6.8%.
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 is 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.
Going Concern
As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company is in the exploration stage with no operations and has a net loss of $308,858 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.
