OUTSTANDING VOTING SECURITIES
As of November 30, 2011, the Company had 63,110,000 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. Each share of outstanding Common Stock is entitled to one vote on matters submitted for Stockholder approval.

On November 30, 2011, the holders of 36,018,000 shares of the Company’s common stock executed and delivered to the Company a written consent approving the actions set forth herein. Since the action has been approved by the holders of the majority of the issued and outstanding voting shares of the Company in accordance with the Company’s Bylaws and the Nevada Revised Statutes, no proxies are being solicited with this Information Statement.
General
The Company's authorized capital stock consists of 300,000,000 shares of common stock at a par value of $0.001 per share and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock at par value of $0.001. There are no provisions in the Company’s charter or by-laws that would delay, defer or prevent a change in its control.

The holders of the Company's common stock (i) have equal ratable rights to dividends from funds legally available therefore, when, as and if declared by the Company's Board of Directors; (ii) are entitled to share in all of its assets available for distribution to holders of common stock upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company's affairs; (iii) do not have preemptive, subscription or conversion rights and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions or rights; and (iv) are entitled to one non-cumulative vote per share on all matters on which stockholders may vote.
Non-cumulative Voting
Holders of shares of the Company's common stock do not have cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares, voting for the election of directors, can elect all of the directors to be elected, if they so choose, and, in such event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any of the Company's directors.
Dividends
The Company has not declared any dividends on its common stock since its inception. There are no dividend restrictions that limit the Company's ability to pay dividends on common stock in its Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws. The Company's governing statute, Chapter 78 – “Private Corporations” of the Nevada Revised Statutes (the “NRS”), does provide limitations on its ability to declare dividends. Section 78.288 of Chapter 78 of the NRS prohibits us from declaring dividends where, after giving effect to the distribution of the dividend:
(a) | The Company would not be able to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business; or |
|
|
(b) | The Company's total assets would be less than the sum of its total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed, if it were to be dissolved at the time of distribution, to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of stockholders who may have preferential rights and whose preferential rights are superior to those receiving the distribution (except as otherwise specifically allowed by the Company's Articles of Incorporation). |

Notes: |
|
(1) | Based on 63,110,000 shares of the Company's common stock issued and outstanding as of November 30, 2011. Under Rule 13d-3, certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in this table does not necessarily reflect the person’s actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number of shares of common stock actually outstanding on November 30, 2011 |

Overview
CORPORATE BACKGROUND
The Company was originally incorporated on December 8, 2006, under the laws of the State of Nevada as Elan Development, Inc. On April 25, 2008, the name of the company was changed to Star Gold Corp. Star Gold Corp. is an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of precious metal deposit properties and advancing them toward production. The Company is engaged in the business of exploring, evaluating and acquiring mineral prospects with the potential for economic deposits of precious and base metals.
The Company currently owns the rights to acquire up to a 100% mining interest (covering a total of 50 unpatented claims) in a mineral property a 98% interest in a Property located in the State of Nevada known as the Excalibur Property.
The Company has completed an initial exploration program on the Excalibur Property, which included Geological Mapping, Rock Sampling and Assaying. Based on this analysis the Company has decided to move forward with the permitting of this property and associated drilling program. The permitting was completed in June 2010 and the drilling program commenced the week of June 20th, 2010.
Star Gold Corp. currently leases with an option to acquire 60 unpatented mining claims (covering approximately 490 Hectares) owns a 100% interest in a Property located in the State of Nevada and known as the Longstreet Property. The Company is currently going through the permitting stage to allow it to commence drilling.
On July 7th, 2010, Star Gold Corp. acquired a 100% mining interest in a Property located in the State of Nevada (approximately 300 kilometers northwest of Las Vegas) known as the Jet Property.
5
The Company has no patents, licenses, franchises or concessions which are considered by the Company to be of importance. The business is not of a seasonal nature. Since the potential products are traded in the open market, the Company has no control over the competitive conditions in the industry.
During the year 2010, the Company dropped its 100% interest in the Copper Belle Property, in British Columbia to focus on its Nevada Properties. The Company has no further interest in this property or any ongoing dealings related to the Copper Belle Property.
Overview of Mineral Exploration and Current Operations
Star Gold Corp. is an exploration stage mineral company with no producing mines. Mineral exploration is essentially a research activity that does not produce a product. As such, the Company acquires properties which it believes have potential to host economic concentrations of minerals, particularly gold and silver. These acquisitions have and may take the form of unpatented mining claims on federal land, leasing claims, or private property owned by others. An unpatented mining claim is an interest that can be acquired to the mineral rights on open lands of the federal owned public domain. Claims are staked in accordance with the Mining Law of 1872, recorded with the federal government pursuant to laws and regulations established by the Bureau of Land Management The Company intends to remain in the business of exploring for mining properties that have the potential to produce gold, silver, base metals and other commodities.
Compliance with Government Regulations
If the Company decides to continue with the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties in the State of Nevada it will be required to comply with all regulations, rules and directives of governmental authorities and agencies applicable to the exploration of minerals in the State of Nevada and the United States Federal agencies.
United States
Mining in the State of Nevada is subject to federal, state and local law. Three types of laws are of particular importance to the Company's U.S. mineral properties: those affecting land ownership and mining rights; those regulating mining operations; and those dealing with the environment.
Land Ownership and Mining Rights.
On Federal Lands, mining rights are governed by the General Mining Law of 1872 (General Mining Law) as amended, 30 U.S.C. §§ 21-161 (various sections), which allows the location of mining claims on certain Federal Lands upon the discovery of a valuable mineral deposit and proper compliance with claim location requirements. A valid mining claim provides the holder with the right to conduct mining operations for the removal of locatable minerals, subject to compliance with the General Mining Law and Nevada state law governing the staking and registration of mining claims, as well as compliance with various federal, state and local operating and environmental laws, regulations and ordinances. As the owner or lessee of the unpatented mining claims, the Company has the right to conduct mining operations on the lands subject to the prior procurement of required operating permits and approvals, compliance with the terms and conditions of any applicable mining lease, and compliance with applicable federal, state, and local laws, regulations and ordinances.
Mining Operations.
The exploration of mining properties and development and operation of mines is governed by both federal and state laws.
The State of Nevada likewise requires various permits and approvals before mining operations can begin, although the state and federal regulatory agencies usually cooperate to minimize duplication of permitting efforts. Among other things, a detailed reclamation plan must be prepared and approved, with bonding in the amount of projected reclamation costs. The bond is used to ensure that proper reclamation takes place, and the bond will not be released until that time. The Nevada Department of Environmental Protection, referred to as the NDEP herein, is the state agency that administers the reclamation permits, mine permits and related closure plans on its Nevada property. Local jurisdictions (such as Eureka County) may also impose permitting requirements (such as conditional use permits or zoning approvals).
6
Environmental Law
The development, operation, closure, and reclamation of mining projects in the United States requires numerous notifications, permits, authorizations, and public agency decisions. Compliance with environmental and related laws and regulations requires us to obtain permits issued by regulatory agencies, and to file various reports and keep records of the Company's operations. Certain of these permits require periodic renewal or review of their conditions and may be subject to a public review process during which opposition to proposed operations may be encountered. The Company is currently operating under various permits for activities connected to mineral exploration, reclamation, and environmental considerations. Unless and until a mineral resource is proved, it is unlikely operations will move beyond the exploration stage. If in the future the Company decided to proceed beyond exploration, there will be numerous notifications, permit applications, and other decisions to be addressed at that time.
Competition
Star Gold Corp. competes with other mineral resource exploration and development companies for financing and for the acquisition of new mineral properties and also for equipment and labor related to exploration and development of mineral properties. Many of the mineral resource exploration and development companies with whom the Company competes have greater financial and technical resources. Accordingly, competitors may be able to spend greater amounts on acquisitions of mineral properties of merit, on exploration of their mineral properties and on development of their mineral properties. In addition, they may be able to afford greater geological expertise in the targeting and exploration of mineral properties. This competition could result in competitors having mineral properties of greater quality and interest to prospective investors who may finance additional exploration and development. This competition could adversely impact Star Gold Corp.’s ability to finance further exploration and to achieve the financing necessary for the Company to develop its mineral properties.
The Company provides no assurance it will be able to compete in any of its business areas effectively with current or future competitors or that the competitive pressures faced by the Company will not have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and operating results.
Employees
The Company has no employees other than the Company's executive officers and directors as of the date of this Schedule 14C. The Company conducts its business largely through agreements with consultants and arms-length persons.
Research and Development Expenditures
The Company has not incurred any research expenditures since incorporation.
Patents and Trademarks
The Company does not own, either legally or beneficially, any patent or trademark.
PLAN OF OPERATION
The Company maintains a corporate office in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. This is the primary administrative office for the Company and is utilized by Company President Lindsay Gorrill and Chief Financial Officer Kelly Stopher.
The financial condition of the Company was positive during 2011 and the metals commodity markets were favorable for most of the year.
The Company's plan of operations for the next twelve months, subject to funding, and the availability of contractors, is as follows:
•
Continue the advanced exploration and pre-development program for the Longstreet Project. This work may include the following:
•
Initiate up to 10,000 feet of core drilling from the surface to better define the mineralization.
7
•
Continue to work with potential joint venture or capital partners to advance the project into the next phase of exploration and pre-production goals.
Primary focus of 2011 exploration activities at Longstreet will be to enhance the known and defined resource in the Main Zone, and initiate evaluation of some of the additional higher priority targets. Auger geochemistry surveys should be conducted on the possible extensions of Main to the east and west. These can be undertaken by project geologist and field technicians already required for the proposed drilling program, and will involve very little additional expense. Additional angle holes will be needed to finish upgrading the Main deposit and allow all historic vertical holes to be discarded from future resource calculations.
Drilling priority after definition drilling at Main should be on Main’s east and west extensions starting with the NE Main and North targets. A total of 10,000 feet of RC drilling was proposed for Phase 1 drilling.
A revised budget for Longstreet Project 2011 is following. Longstreet Project 2011, which was initially planned to consist of drilling to the 10,000 foot level, commenced October 23, 2011. On December 15, 2011, the Company completed its initial phase of drilling (and thereby satisfying its minimum expenditure requirements under the Longstreet Property Agreement); reaching approximately 5,000 feet. The Company anticipates drilling the remaining 5,000 feet as part of an expanded program slated for Spring of 2012.

Based on the recommendations of its consulting geologists, the Company is continuing its exploration program on the Excalibur Property and the Longstreet Property. As of October 31, 2011, the Company had $75,589 in cash, negative working capital of $305,069, and stockholders’ equity (deficit) of $(72,970) and accumulated net losses of $993,030 since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt of the Company continuing as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis, to obtain additional financing or refinancing as may be required, to develop commercially viable mining reserves, and ultimately to establish profitable operations.
Due to the lack of operating history and the Company's present inability to generate revenues, its auditors have stated in their audit report included in the Company's audited financial statements for the year ended April 30, 2011 that there currently exists substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
8
Management believes it can source additional capital in the investment markets in the coming months and years. The Company may also consider other sources of funding, including potential mergers or joint ventures on its exploration properties.
Future liquidity and capital requirements depend on many factors including timing, cost and progress of the Company's exploration efforts. The Company will consider additional public offerings, private placement, mergers or debt instruments.
Additional financing will be required in the future to complete planned exploration projects and expand operations to the production stage. The Company is unsure whether additional financing will be available at the time needed or on acceptable terms, if at all. If the Company is unable to raise additional financing when necessary, it may have to delay exploration efforts or property acquisitions, or be forced to cease operations. Collaborative arrangements may require the Company to relinquish rights to certain of its mining claims.

The Company has earned no revenue in 2011 or 2010 and does not anticipate earning any revenues in the near future. Star Gold Corp. is an exploration stage company and presently is seeking other business opportunities.
Total expenses for 2011 of $344,860 increased 142% over 2010 total expenses of $142,296. The increase in total expense is primarily a result of exploration activities undertaken during the year. Exploration expense for the year end 2011 was $169,429 an increase of $103,358 over 2010 exploration expense of $66,072 resulting from drilling programs completed at the Longstreet and Excalibur projects and associated consulting fees related to exploration of the properties.
9
Management and administrative expense increased $61,427 or 160% to $98,097 compared to 2010 expense of $36,670. The increase was a result of compensation to a Chief Financial Officer and additional administrative staff whose duties were previously handled by the Company President. Management expects these expenses to remain relatively constant in 2012.
Directors fees of $3,200 were expensed in 2011 as no previous Board of Directors were compensated for their expertise. Certain Board members are also compensated on a per diem consulting rate to verify and assess technical information provide by outside consultants.
Legal and professional fees increased $24,603 to $64,187 in 2011 from $39,584 in 2010. This increase is a direct result of engaging an investment relations firm to assist in raising awareness of Star Gold Corp. and increasing liquidity in the market.
The Company does not expect significant increases in operating expenses for the upcoming fiscal year. However, consulting and exploration expenses are expected to increase as the Company anticipates a significant drilling program on its Longstreet project during the summer of 2011.

The Company has earned no revenue from operations in 2011 or 2010 and does not anticipate earning any revenues in the near future. Star Gold Corp. is an exploration stage company and presently is seeking other business opportunities.
Total expenses for the three months ending October 31, 2011 of $161,510 increased 17% over total expenses of $138,064 for the comparable period ending October 31, 2010. The increase in total expense is primarily a result of stock option expense recognized of $23,198 during the period and additional investor relations expense related to capital-raising efforts. Exploration and consulting expense for the three months ended October 31, 2011 was $56,252, a decrease of $34,628 over the three months ended October 31, 2010 expense of $90,880. The Company initiated a drilling program on the Longstreet property that is expected to culminate on or about December 15, 2011. Consequently, comparable exploration activity to 2010 will be recognized in the quarter ending January 31, 2012.
Management and administrative expense increased $28,485 to $48,581 compared to 2010 expense of $20,096. The increase is a result of stock option expense of $23,198. All other management and administrative expenses increased in aggregate by $5,287. Management expects these expenses to remain relatively constant in 2012 with the likelihood of increased travel and investor relations expense as the Company continues to raise capital. The Company also expects an increase in management and consulting fees through the end of the fiscal year ending April 30, 2012 related to planning and execution of the next phase of the Longstreet drilling program.
Certain Board members are also compensated on a per diem consulting rate to verify and assess technical information provided by outside consultants. No director fees were expensed during the three months ending October 31, 2011.
Legal and professional fees increased $28,558 to $53,898 in 2011 from $25,340 in 2010. This increase is a direct result of engaging an investment relations firm to assist in raising awareness of Star Gold Corp. and increasing liquidity in the market and also engaging a new audit firm with particular expertise in the mining industry. Certain legal expense were incurred in the course of restating the Company by-laws, articles of incorporation and other related governance issues in order to facilitate raising additional capital for exploration. Management expects accounting and audit fees to stabilize with ongoing familiarity.
The Company does not expect significant increases in operating expenses for the upcoming fiscal year. However, consulting and exploration expenses are expected to increase as the Company anticipates a significant drilling program on its Longstreet project during the remainder of calendar year 2011 and the fourth quarter of fiscal year ending April 30, 2012.

The increase in working capital at April 30, 2011 from the year ended April 30, 2010 is primarily a result of the private placement for $290,000 and exercise of warrants completed on November 18, 2010.
The Company utilized $65,000 in cash from Investing Activities to exercise its option on claims agreements and utilized for certain capitalized mineral assets at its Longstreet and Excalibur projects.
11
As of April 30, 2011, the Company had cash on hand of $12,221. Since inception, the sole source of financing has been sales of the Company's common stock. Star Gold Corp. has not attained profitable operations and its ability to pursue any future plan of operation is dependent upon its ability to obtain financing. For these reasons, the auditors stated in their report to the Company's audited financial statements for the period ended April 30, 2011 that there is substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern.
Star Gold Corp. anticipates continuing to rely on sales of its common stock in order to continue to fund business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to the Company's existing stockholders. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete any additional sales of equity securities or that it will be able arrange for other financing to fund its planned business activities.

The Company utilized $26,600 in cash from Investing Activities to exercise its option on claims agreements and for certain capitalized mineral assets at its Longstreet and Jet projects, inclusive of a $21,600 bond to the U.S. Forest Service for drilling on the Longstreet property.
12
As of October 31, 2011, the Company had cash on hand of $75,589. Since inception, the sources of the Company’s financing have been through offerings of its securities and through debt financing. Star Gold Corp. has not attained profitable operations and its ability to pursue any future plan of operation is dependent upon our ability to obtain financing. For these reasons, the auditors stated in their report to the Company's audited financial statements for the period ended April 30, 2011 and their reviewed statements for the period ended October31, 2011 that there is substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern.
Star Gold Corp. anticipates continuing to rely on offerings of its debt and/or equity securities in order to continue to fund business operations. Issuances of additional equity securities will result in dilution to the Company's existing stockholders. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete any additional offerings of its securities or that it will be able arrange for other financing to fund its planned business activities.
Disruptions in the credit and financial markets over the past several years have had a material adverse impact on a number of financial institutions and have limited access to capital and credit for many companies. While access to capital has improved recently, these disruptions could, among other things, make it more difficult for the Company to obtain, or increase the cost of obtaining, capital and financing for operations. Access to additional capital may not be available to terms acceptable to the Company or at all.
The audit opinion and Notes that accompany the Company's financial statements for the year ended April 30, 2011, disclose a 'going concern' qualification to the Company's ability to continue in business. The financial statements for the period then ended have been prepared under the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern. Such assumption contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the financial statements for the year ended April 30, 2010, the Company incurred losses and negative cash flows from operating activities for the year then ended, and at April 30, 2010, did not have sufficient cash reserves to cover normal operating activities for the following twelve months. These factors raise substantial doubts about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis, to obtain additional financing as may be required, or ultimately to attain profitability. Potential sources of cash, or relief of demand for cash, include additional external debt, the sale of shares of the Company's stock or alternative methods such as mergers or sale of the Company's assets. No assurances can be given, however, that the Company will be able to obtain any of these potential sources of cash. The Company currently requires additional cash funding from outside sources to sustain existing operations and to meet current obligations and ongoing capital requirements.
The Company plans for the long term continuation as a going concern include financing future operations through sales of our common stock and/or debt and the eventual profitable exploitation of the Company's mining properties. These plans may also, at some future point, include the formation of mining joint ventures with senior mining company partners on specific mineral properties whereby the joint venture partner would provide the necessary financing in return for equity in the property.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
The Company has no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to its stockholders.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company has identified certain accounting policies, described below, that are most important to the portrayal of its current financial condition and results of operations. The Company's significant accounting policies are disclosed in the notes to the audited financial statements included in this Annual Report.
13
Mineral Interests
Exploration costs are expensed in the period in which they occur. The Company capitalizes costs for acquiring and leasing mineral properties and expenses costs to maintain mineral rights as incurred. Should a property reach the production stage, these capitalized costs would be amortized using the units-of-production method on the basis of periodic estimates of ore reserves. Mineral interests are periodically assessed for impairment of value, and any subsequent losses are charged to operations at the time of impairment. If a property is abandoned or sold, its capitalized costs are charged to operations.
CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING
AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.
On June 6, 2011, the Board of Directors appointed DeCoria Maichel Teague, P.S. (“DMT”) as Star Gold’s independent auditors for the 2011 fiscal year, replacing Jewett, Schwartz, Wolfe & Associates (“JSW”).
On June 6, 2011, the Company dismissed JSW as the Company’s independent auditor effective June 6, 2011. The report of JSW on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended April 30, 2010 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, except that such report on our consolidated financial statements contained an explanatory paragraph with respect to uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
For the year ended April 30, 2010, and through the date of the Form 8-K announcing their dismissal, there have been no disagreements with JSW on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to JSW’s satisfaction would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with their report. For the year ended April 30, 2010, and through the date of the Form 8-K announcing their dismissal, there were no“reportable events” as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
During the year ended April 30, 2010, and through June 6, 2011 (the date DMT was appointed), the Company did not consult DMT with respect to the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements, or any other matters or reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.

Star Gold Corp.
(An Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to Financial Statements
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Star Gold Corp. (the "Company") was initially incorporated as Elan Development, Inc., in the State of Nevada on December 8, 2006. The Company was originally organized to explore mineral properties in British Columbia, Canada but the Company is currently focusing on Gold properties in Nevada.
These financial statements are presented on the basis that the Company is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business over a reasonable length of time. As of April 30, 2011, the Company had $12,221 in cash, working capital of $(60,888), and stockholders’ equity of $144,611 and accumulated net losses of $660,388 since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Its continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis, to obtain additional financing or refinancing as may be required, to develop commercially viable mining reserves, and ultimately to establish profitable operations.
Management's plans for the continuation of the Company as a going concern include financing the Company's operations through issuance of its common stock. If the Company is unable to complete its financing requirements or achieve revenue as projected, it will then modify its expenditures and plan of operations to coincide with the actual financing completed and actual operating revenues. There are no assurances, however, with respect to the future success of these plans.
Unless otherwise indicated, amounts provided in these notes to the financial statements pertain to continuing operations. The Company is not currently earning any revenues.
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in understanding the financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The Company has not produced any revenue from its principal business and is an exploration stage company as defined by the Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) Topic 915 “Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises”.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant areas requiring the use of management assumptions and estimates relate to asset impairments, inventory net realizable value and asset retirement obligations. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions and could have a material effect on the Company’s reported financial position and results of operations.
Exploration Stage Enterprise
The Company's financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting and according to "Accounting for Development Stage Enterprises," as it devotes substantially all of its efforts to acquiring and exploring mining interests that will eventually provide sufficient net profits to sustain the Company's existence. Until such interests are engaged in commercial production, the Company will continue to prepare its financial statements and related disclosures in accordance with entities in the exploration stage.

(An Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to Financial Statements
Cash and cash equivalents
For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents. Deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000 per institution.
Fair Value Measures
ASC Topic 820 "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures" ("ASC 820") requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument's categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1: Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
or liabilities.
Level 2: Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quote prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
Level 3: Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology
that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
Mining Interests and Exploration Expenditures
Exploration costs are expensed in the period in which they occur. The Company capitalizes costs for acquiring and leasing mineral properties and expenses costs to maintain mineral rights as incurred. Should a property reach the production stage, these capitalized costs would be amortized using the units-of-production method on the basis of periodic estimates of ore reserves. Mineral interests are periodically assessed for impairment of value, and any subsequent losses are charged to operations at the time of impairment. If a property is abandoned or sold, its capitalized costs are charged to operations.
Reclamation and Remediation
The Company's operations are subject to standards for mine reclamation that have been established by various governmental agencies. In the period in which the Company incurs a contractual obligation for the retirement of tangible long-lived assets, the Company will record the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability. A corresponding asset will also be recorded and depreciated over the life of the asset. After the initial measurement of an asset retirement obligation, the liability will be adjusted at the end of each reporting period to reflect changes in the estimated future cash flows underlying the obligation. To date, the Company has not incurred any contractual obligation requiring recording either a liability or associated asset.
Regulatory Matters
The Company and its mineral interests are subject to a variety of federal and state regulations governing land use, health, safety and environmental matters. The Company’s management believes it has been in substantial compliance with all such regulations, and is unaware of any pending action or proceeding relating to regulatory matters that would affect the financial position of the Company.

(An Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to Financial Statements
Impaired Asset Policy
The Company periodically reviews its long-lived assets when applicable to determine if any events or changes in circumstances have transpired which indicate that the carrying value of its assets may not be recoverable, pursuant to guidance established in ASC Topic 360, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets". The Company determines impairment by comparing the undiscounted future cash flows estimated to be generated by its assets to their respective carrying amounts. If impairment is deemed to exist, the assets will be written down to fair value.
Stock-based Compensation
The Company estimates the fair value of its stock based compensation using the Black-Scholes model, which requires the input of some subjective assumptions. These assumptions include estimating the length of time employees will retain their vested stock options before exercising them (“expected life”), the estimated volatility of the Company’s common stock price over the expected term (“volatility”), employee forfeiture rate, the risk-free interest rate and the dividend yield. Changes in the subjective assumptions can materially affect the estimate of fair value of stock-based compensation.
Loss Per Share
Basic Earnings Per Share ("EPS") is computed as net income (loss) available to common stockholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through stock options, warrants, and other convertible securities.
The dilutive effect of convertible and outstanding securities as of April 30, 2011 and 2010, would be as follows:

At April 30, 2011 and 2010, the effect of the Company's outstanding options and common stock equivalents would have been anti-dilutive.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC topic 825, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” requires disclosures of information regarding the fair value of certain financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate the value. For purpose of this disclosure, the fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale of liquidation.
Income Taxes
Deferred income tax liabilities or assets at the end of each period are determined using the tax rates expected to be in effect when the taxes are actually paid or recovered. A valuation allowance is recognized on deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some or all of these deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2010 financial statements in order to conform to the 2011 presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on net loss, total assets or accumulated deficit as restated.
Accounting Changes and Error Corrections
Changes in accounting principle are reported through retrospective application of the new accounting principle to all prior periods. Errors in the financial statements of a prior period discovered subsequent to their issuance are reported as a prior-period adjustment by

NOTE 3 – MINING INTERESTS
Excalibur Property
On April 11, 2008, the Company executed a property purchase agreement (the "Excalibur Agreement") with MinQuest, Inc. ("MinQuest") granting the Company the right to acquire 100% of the mining interests of the Nevada mineral exploration property known as the “Excalibur Property.” The Excalibur Property is located in Mineral County, Nevada. On June 18, 2009 the Company entered into an amending agreement to add an additional 42 Claims surrounding the original 8 claims, expanding the total claims to 50 claims held.
The Company has completed an initial exploration program on the Excalibur Property, which included geological mapping, rock sampling and assaying. Based on this analysis the Company decided to move forward with the exploration of this property and drilling program. The permitting was completed in June 2010 and the drilling program commenced the week of June 20, 2010.
The Excalibur Agreement includes cash payments totaling $100,000 over five years and the issuance of 200,000 stock options based on “fair market price” over the same five-year period. The Company has agreed to work commitments of $275,000 over five years. Following the fifth anniversary, if commitments have been met, the Company shall receive a quitclaim for 100% interest in the property in consideration of a 3% Net Smelter Return. The schedule of remaining annual payments, minimum expenditures and number of stock options to be issued pursuant to the Excalibur Property agreement is as follows:

The Longstreet Property
On January 15, 2010, the Company signed an option agreement (the “Longstreet Agreement”) for the Sole Exclusive Rights to lease and obtain the option to acquire 60 unpatented mining claims totaling approximately 490 hectares known as the “Longstreet Property.” The Company is currently going through the permitting process to allow it to commence drilling.
The terms of the Longstreet Agreement included an initial cash payment of $20,000, issuance of 25,000 common shares and 25,000 stock options based on “fair market price” to MinQuest. The Longstreet Agreement terms also include cash payments totaling $250,000 over seven years and the issuance of 175,000 common shares and 175,000 stock options based on “fair market price” over the same seven-year period. The Company has agreed to work commitments of $3,550,000 over seven years. Following the seventh anniversary of the agreement, if commitments have been met, the Company shall receive a quitclaim deed for a100% interest in the property in consideration of a 3% Net Smelter Return. The schedule of remaining annual payments, minimum expenditures and number of stock options to be issued pursuant to the Longstreet Agreement is as follows:

NOTE 4 — RECENT AUTHORITATIVE PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) amended its accounting guidance on the consolidation of variable interest entities (VIE). Among other things, the new guidance requires a qualitative rather than a quantitative assessment to determine the primary beneficiary of a VIE based on whether the entity (1) has the power to direct matters that most significantly impact the activities of the VIE and (2) has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. In addition, the amended guidance requires an ongoing reconsideration of the primary beneficiary. The provisions of this new guidance were effective as of the beginning of our 2010 fiscal year, and the adoption did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
In December 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-17 (formerly Statement No. 167), “Consolidations (Topic 810) – Improvements to Financial Reporting for Enterprises involved with Variable Interest Entities”. ASU 2009-17 amends the consolidation guidance applicable to variable interest entities. The amendments to the consolidation guidance affect all entities, as well as qualifying special-purpose entities (QSPEs) that are currently excluded from previous consolidation guidance. ASU 2009-17 was effective as of the
Star Gold Corp.
(An Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to Financial Statements
beginning of the first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009. ASU 2009-17 did not have an impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or disclosures.
In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-06 which is intended to improve disclosures about fair value measurements. The guidance requires entities to disclose significant transfers in and out of fair value hierarchy
levels, the reasons for the transfers and to present information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements separately in the reconciliation of fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). Additionally, the guidance clarifies that a reporting entity should provide fair value measurements for each class of assets and liabilities and disclose the inputs and valuation techniques used for fair value measurements using significant other observable inputs (Level 2) and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). The Company has applied the new disclosure requirements as of May 1, 2010, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the Level 3 reconciliation, which will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The adoption of this guidance has not had and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 5 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (DEFICIT)
On January 15, 2009 the Company initiated a private placement of 100,000 shares at $1.00 per share. The Company received $80,000 from one individual for a total subscription of 80,000 common shares (increased to 160,000 shares in conjunction with the 2-1 forward split described below).
In September 2009 the Company completed a 2-1 forward common stock split which increased the amount of shares outstanding to 61,350,000.
On November 27, 2009 the Company completed a private placement with one individual at $0.50 per share and issued 510,000 common shares. The total cash proceeds received were $255,000.
On November 26, 2010, the Company completed a private placement with one individual to issue 240,000 common shares and 240,000 share purchase warrants at a price of $0.50 per unit. Each unit comprises of one common share and one share purchase warrant. The term of the warrant is for two years, and may be exercised at $0.75 during the first year and $1.00 during the third year. No commissions were paid and no registration rights have been granted.
On or about November 26, 2010 an individual exercised 650,000 share purchase warrants at $0.20 per share.
On November 1, 2010, the Company issued 25,000 shares of its common stock pursuant to the Longstreet Agreement. The shares were valued at $0.60 as of the date of the agreement based on the current market price of the Company's common stock.
On December 18, 2010, the Company issued 25,000 shares of its common stock pursuant to the Longstreet Agreement. The shares were valued at $0.28 as of the date of the agreement based on the current market price of the Company's common stock.
NOTE 6 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
On July 1, 2008, the Company subleased office space for $750 per month from Marlin Property Management, LLC an entity owned by the spouse of the Company’s President and member of the Board of Directors. The Company believes this office space and facilities are sufficient to meet our present needs, and do not anticipate any difficulty securing alternative or additional space, as needed, on terms acceptable to us. For the years ended April 30, 2011 and 2010, $11,063 and $4,400, respectively, was paid to this related entity.
On April 21, 2011, the Company entered into a short term promissory note in the amount of $40,000 with the spouse of the Company’s President. The note matures October 1, 2011 and bears interest at 12% per annum with monthly interest-only payments of $400.

Notes to Financial Statements
NOTE 7 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company’s management believes that the Company is currently in substantial compliance with environmental regulatory requirements. Remediation requirements for the Company are limited to minor activities related to drill pad reclamation and the like, and that no material environmental remediation costs exist as of April 30, 2011. Such costs are accrued at the time the expenditure becomes probable and the costs can reasonably be estimated. The Company recognizes, however, that in some cases future environmental expenditures cannot be reliably determined due to the uncertainty of specific remediation methods, conflicts between regulating agencies relating to remediation methods and environmental law interpretations, and changes in environmental laws and regulations. Any changes to the Company’s remediation plans as a result of these factors could have an adverse affect on the Company’s operations. The range of possible losses in excess of the amounts accrued cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. Our management routinely makes judgments and estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. As the number of variables and assumptions affecting the future resolution of the uncertainties increase, these judgments become even more subjective and complex. Although management believes that its estimates and assumptions are reasonable, actual results may differ significantly from these estimates. Changes in estimates and assumptions based upon actual results may have a material impact on results of operation and/or financial condition.
NOTE 8 - INCOME TAXES
The components of the Company's deferred tax asset is as follows:
![[stargoldpre14cfinalclean1034.gif]](https://capedge.com/proxy/PRE 14C/0001056520-11-000583/stargoldpre14cfinalclean1034.gif)
There was no income tax expense for the years ended April 30, 2011 and 2010 due to the Company’s net losses. Deferred income taxes arise from timing differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods. A deferred tax asset valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be realized. As management of the Company cannot determine that it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefit of the net deferred tax asset, a valuation allowance equal to 100% of the net deferred tax asset has been recorded at April 30, 2011 and 2010.
Net loss before income taxes for the years ended April 30, 2011 and 2010 are as follows:
![[stargoldpre14cfinalclean1036.gif]](https://capedge.com/proxy/PRE 14C/0001056520-11-000583/stargoldpre14cfinalclean1036.gif)
The Company has concluded that the guidance regarding accounting for uncertainty in income taxes had no significant impact on our results of operations or financial position as of April 30, 2011 or 2010. Therefore, the Company does not have an accrual for uncertain tax positions as April 30, 2011 or 2010.�� As a result, tabular reconciliation of beginning and ending balances would not be meaningful. If interest and penalties were to be assessed, the Company would charge interest to interest expense, and penalties to other operating expense. It is not anticipated that unrecognized tax benefits would significantly increase or decrease within 12 months of the reporting date.

Notes to Financial Statements

NOTE 10 - STOCK OPTIONS
In consideration for mining interests on several properties (see Note 3), the Company is obligated to issue a total of 350,000 stock options based on "fair market price" which is considered to be the closing price of the Company's common stock on the grant dates. The Company has estimated the fair value of these option grants using the Black-Scholes model for the years ended April 30, 2011 and 2010 with the following assumptions:
![[stargoldpre14cfinalclean1040.gif]](https://capedge.com/proxy/PRE 14C/0001056520-11-000583/stargoldpre14cfinalclean1040.gif)

Notes to Financial Statements
Total mining interest cost capitalized under the issuance of options was $19,250 and $34,000 for the year ended April 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. These costs are classified on the Company's balance sheets as mining interests.
Future stock option obligations under the terms of property agreements detailed in Note 3 are as follows:
![[stargoldpre14cfinalclean1044.gif]](https://capedge.com/proxy/PRE 14C/0001056520-11-000583/stargoldpre14cfinalclean1044.gif)
NOTE 11 - CORRECTION OF ERROR IN PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Management has determined that certain errors were contained in the Company's financial statements for quarters within the year ended April 30, 2011 and the year ended April 30, 2010.
The errors for the quarter ended January 31, 2010 and prior quarters were related to an incorrect interpretation of capitalized exploration costs. Since acquiring the first development property in Nevada, the Company has not been capitalizing the appropriate costs as mineral interest. The Excalibur, Longstreet, and Jet properties call for annual lease payments, the issuance of common stock, and common stock purchase options, for the right to acquire the undivided right, title and interest in and to the properties. In accordance with guidance contained in ASC 805, mineral rights to explore, extract and retain at least a portion of the benefits from mineral deposits are to be considered tangible assets. The adjustments required to appropriately record these adjustments are material to the previously filed financial statements, thus management is restating the fiscal year ended April 30, 2010 financial statements. The accompanying financial statements for 2010 have been restated to reflect the corrections.
Stock options granted in the quarter ended October 31, 2011 were subsequently rescinded in their entirety. For the quarters ending January 30, 2011 and October 31, 2010, stock option expense of $170,645 and $85,322 respectively was rescinded.

NOTE 12 -SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company has established the 2011 Stock Option/Restricted Stock Plan. The Stock Option Plan will be administered by the Board of Directors and provides for the grant of stock options to eligible individual including directors, executive officers and advisors that have furnished bona fide services to the Company not related to the sale of securities in a capital-raising transaction.
The Stock Option Plan has a fixed maximum percentage of 10% of the Company's outstanding shares that are eligible for the plan pool, whereby the number of Shares under the plan increases automatically increases as the total number of shares outstanding increase. The number of shares subject to the Stock Option Plan and any outstanding awards will be adjusted appropriated by the Board of Directors if the Company's common stock is affected through a reorganization, merger, consolidation, recapitalization, restructuring, reclassification dividend (other than quarterly cash dividends) or other distribution, stock split, spin-off or sale of substantially all of the Company's assets.
The Stock Option plan also has terms and limitations, including without limitations that the exercise price for stock options granted under the Stock Option Plan must equal the stock's fair market value, based on the closing price per share of common stock, at the time the stock option is granted. The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant utilizing the Black-Scholes model and commonly utilized assumptions associated with the Black-Scholes methodology.

Notes to Financial Statements
On May 30, 2011 the Board of Directors authorized the grant of 1,960,000 options to purchase shares of common stock of the Company to various directors, officers and consultants.

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Star Gold Corp. (the "Company") was initially incorporated as Elan Development, Inc., in the State of Nevada on December 8, 2006. The Company was originally organized to explore mineral properties in British Columbia, Canada but the Company is currently focusing on gold properties in Nevada.
These financial statements are presented on the basis that the Company is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business over a reasonable length of time. As of October 31, 2011, the Company had $75,589 in cash, negative working capital of $305,069, and stockholders’ equity (deficit) of $(72,970) and accumulated net losses of $993,030 since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt of the Company continuing as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Its continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis, to obtain additional financing or refinancing as may be required, to develop commercially viable mining reserves, and ultimately to establish profitable operations.
Management's plans for the continuation of the Company as a going concern include financing the Company's operations through issuance of its equity and/or debt securities. If the Company is unable to complete its financing requirements or achieve revenue as projected, it will then modify its expenditures and plan of operations to coincide with the actual financing completed and actual operating revenues. There are no assurances, however, with respect to the future success of these plans.
Unless otherwise indicated, amounts provided in these notes to the financial statements pertain to continuing operations. The Company is not currently earning any revenues.
The financial statement represents those of an exploration and development stage company whose main focus is in the exploration and development of gold bearing properties. The Company's main business is putting together land packages and mining claims that the Company perceives to have some potential for mineral reserves. The Company then spends capital to explore these claims by drilling, geophysical work or other exploration work deemed necessary. The business is a high risk business as there is no guarantee that the Company's exploration work will ultimately discover or produce any economically viable minerals.
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information, as well as the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial statements have been included. Operating results for the three months ended October 31, 2011, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending April 30, 2012.
For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2011.
Cash and cash equivalents
For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents.
Restricted cash
Restricted cash represents investments in money market funds and are collateral for bonds held for exploration permits.
Stock-based Compensation
The Company estimates the fair value of its stock-based compensation in the form of options using the Black-Scholes model, which requires the input of some subjective assumptions. These assumptions include estimating the length of time employees will retain their vested stock options before exercising them (“expected life”), the estimated volatility of the Company’s common stock price over the expected term (“volatility”), employee forfeiture rate, the risk-free interest rate and the dividend yield. Changes in the subjective
assumptions can materially affect the Black-Scholes calculation of the fair value of the options. The value of common stock granted is estimated as market value at the date of grant.
Loss Per Share
Basic Earnings Per Share ("EPS") is computed as net income (loss) available to common stockholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through stock options, warrants, and other convertible securities.
The dilutive effect of convertible and outstanding securities as of October 31, 2011 and 2010, would be as follows:
|
|
|
| 2011 |
| 2010 |
Stock Options |
| 1,960,000 |
| 175,000 | ||
Warrants |
|
| 790,000 |
| 1,200,000 | |
| Total Possible Dilution |
| 2,750,000 |
| 1,375,000 | |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
At October 31, 2011 and 2010, the effect of the Company's outstanding options and common stock equivalents would have been anti-dilutive.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2010 financial statements in order to conform to the 2011 presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on net loss, total assets or accumulated deficit as restated.
Accounting Changes and Error Corrections
Changes in accounting principle are reported through retrospective application of the new accounting principle to all prior periods. Errors in the financial statements of a prior period discovered subsequent to their issuance are reported as a prior-period adjustment by restating the prior period. As described in Note 9, historical financial information included for the quarter and six month period ended October 31, 2010 has been restated.
Stock Issued for Services
Transactions in which common stock is issued for services are recorded at the fair value of the services received or the fair value of the stock issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.
NOTE 3 – MINING INTERESTS
The Excalibur Property Option Agreement (dated April 11, 2008) includes cash payments totaling $100,000 over five years and the issuance of 200,000 stock options based on “fair market price” over the same five-year period. The Company has agreed to work commitments of $275,000 over five years. Following the fifth anniversary, if commitments have been met, the Company shall receive a quitclaim for 100% interest in the property in consideration of a 3% Net Smelter Return royalty. The schedule of annual payments, minimum expenditures and number of stock options to be issued pursuant to the Excalibur Property agreement is as follows:

The Longstreet Property Option Agreement (dated January 15, 2010) calls for initial cash payment of $20,000, issuance of 25,000 common shares and 25,000 stock options based on “fair market price” to MinQuest Inc. The Option Agreement includes cash payments totaling $266,000 over seven years and the issuance of 175,000 common shares and 175,000 stock options based on “fair market price” over the same seven-year period. The Company has agreed to work commitments of $3,550,000 over seven years.
Following the seventh anniversary, if commitments have been met, the Company shall receive a quitclaim for 100% interest in the property in consideration of a 3% Net Smelter Return.
The Company incurred expenditures of $206,000 during the three months ended October 31, 2011 to satisfy certain required expenditure obligations under the Longstreet Property Agreement in advance of completion of exploration and drilling operations required. The expenditure has been classified on the Company's Balance Sheet as Prepaid Exploration Expense and is reduced as invoices are applied to ongoing drilling and exploration activities. At October 31, 2011, the balance of Prepaid Exploration Expense was $150,120 which the Company expects to recognize as exploration expense during the remainder of its fiscal year ending April 30, 2012.
The schedule of annual payments, minimum expenditures and number of stock options to be issued pursuant to the Longstreet Property Option Agreement is as follows:

Total mining interest cost capitalized under the issuance of options was $ Nil and $19,250 for the six months ended October 31, 2011 and the year ended April 30, 2011, respectively. These costs are classified on the Company's balance sheets as mining interests.
The Company has established the 2011 Stock Option/Restricted Stock Plan. The Stock Option Plan is administered by the Board of Directors and provides for the grant of stock options to eligible individual including directors, executive officers and advisors that have furnished bona fide services to the Company not related to the sale of securities in a capital-raising transaction.
The Stock Option Plan has a fixed maximum percentage of 10% of the Company's outstanding shares that are eligible for the plan pool, whereby the number of Shares under the plan increases automatically increases as the total number of shares outstanding increase. The number of shares subject to the Stock Option Plan and any outstanding awards will be adjusted appropriated by the Board of Directors if the Company's common stock is affected through a reorganization, merger, consolidation, recapitalization, restructuring, reclassification dividend (other than quarterly cash dividends) or other distribution, stock split, spin-off or sale of substantially all of the Company's assets.
The Stock Option plan also has terms and limitations, including without limitations that the exercise price for stock options granted under the Stock Option Plan must equal the stock's fair market value, based on the closing price per share of common stock, at the time the stock option is granted. The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant utilizing the Black-Scholes model and commonly utilized assumptions associated with the Black-Scholes methodology.
On May 30, 2011 the Board of Directors authorized grant of 1,960,000 options to purchase shares of common stock of the Company to various directors, officers and consultants. The options vested 25% upon grant, and vest 25% on each successive six-month period thereafter. The fair value of each option award was estimated on the date of the grant using the assumptions noted in the following table:

NOTE 9 - CORRECTION OF ERROR IN PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As disclosed in the financial statements as of and for the year ended April 30, 2011, management has determined that certain errors were contained in the Company s financial statements for quarter ended October 31, 2010.
Since acquiring the first development property in Nevada, the Company had not been capitalizing the appropriate costs as mineral interest. The Excalibur, Longstreet, and Jet properties call for annual lease payments, the issuance of common stock, and common stock purchase options, for the right to acquire the undivided right, title and interest in and to the properties. In accordance with guidance contained in ASC 805 mineral rights to explore, extract and retain at least a portion of the benefits from mineral deposits are to be considered tangible assets. The adjustments required to appropriately record these adjustments are material to the filed financial statements, thus management is restating the October 31, 2010 amounts.
The effect of the Company's previously issued October 31, 2010 financial statement is summarized as follows:

NOTE 10 - SUBSCRIPTIONS PAYABLE
During the three months ended October 31, 2011, the Company received $274,052 in deposits pursuant to the proposed issuance of a short-term debenture, anticipated to be convertible into shares of the Company's common stock. Issuance of such debenture is estimated to be completed shortly after the effective date of the reverse stock split as discussed in Note 11.
NOTE 11 - REVERSE STOCK SPLIT
On or about November 30, 2011 the Company received written consents in lieu of a special meeting of the Board and of the Shareholders authorizing the Board to undertake a 1:6 reverse split of the Company's common shares.Pursuant to the reverse split, holders of Star Gold common stock, as of November 30, 2011 (the "Record Date"), will receive one (1) share of Star Gold common stock in exchange for every six (6) shares of Star Gold common stock held by the shareholder on the Record Date (the "Reverse Split").
