Notes
1. Basis of Presentation:	1. 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 nine-month period ended September 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016. 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 December 31, 2015. Going Concern The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred losses since its inception and does not have sufficient cash to fund normal operations and meet debt obligations for the next 12 months without deferring payment on certain current liabilities and/or raising additional funds. The Company currently has no historical recurring source of revenue and its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise capital to fund its future exploration and working capital requirements or its ability to profitably execute its business plan. The Company’s plans for the long-term return to and continuation as a going concern include the profitable exploitation of its mining properties and financing the Company’s future operations through sales of its common stock and/or debt. Additionally, the current capital markets and general economic conditions in the United States are significant obstacles to raising the required funds. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. If the going concern basis were not appropriate for these financial statements, adjustments would be necessary in the carrying value of assets and liabilities, the reported expenses and the balance sheet classifications used.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Accounting for Investments in Joint Ventures For joint ventures in which the Company does not have joint control or significant influence, the cost method is used. Under the cost method, these investments are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. For those joint ventures in which there is joint control between the parties and in which the Company has significant influence, the equity method is utilized whereby the Company’s share of the ventures’ earnings and losses is included in the statement of operations as earnings in joint ventures and its investments therein are adjusted by a similar amount. Goldrich has no significant influence over its joint venture described in Note 3 Joint Venture For joint ventures where the Company holds more than 50% of the voting interest and has significant influence, the joint venture is consolidated with the presentation of a non-controlling interest. In determining whether significant influence exists, the Company considers its participation in policy-making decisions and its representation on the venture’s management committee. Goldrich currently has no joint venture of this nature. The Company periodically assesses its investments in joint ventures for impairment. If management determines that a decline in fair value is other than temporary it will write-down the investment and charge the impairment against operations. Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share We are authorized to issue 250,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.10 par value per share. At September 30, 2016, there were 131,232,809 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding. The following table reconciles weighted average shares outstanding used in computations of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2016 2015 2016 2015 Numerator: Net income (loss) $ (184,218) $ (304,315) $ (606,940) $ 318,414 Preferred dividends (104,337) (2,236) (160,870) (6,635) Net income (loss) available to common stockholders $ (288,555) $ (306,551) $ (767,810) $ 311,779 Denominator: Basic weighted average common shares 131,232,809 131,082,809 131,232,809 129,511,006 Dilutive preferred stock, stock options and warrants - - - 3,907,142 Diluted weighted average common shares 131,232,809 131,082,809 131,232,809 133,418,148 Basic earnings (loss) per common share: Net income (loss) per common share – basic $ (0.00) $ (0.00) $ (0.01) $ 0.00 Diluted earnings (loss) per common share: Net income (loss) per common share – diluted $ (0.00) $ (0.00) $ (0.01) $ 0.00 For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2016, and the three months ended September 30, 2015, the respective effect of the Company’s options and warrants would have been anti-dilutive. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Significant estimates used in preparing these financial statements include those assumed in estimating the recoverability of the cost of mining claims, accrued remediation costs, asset retirement obligations, stock based compensation, and deferred tax assets and related valuation allowances. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, “Interest Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs”. The provisions of ASU No. 2015-03 require companies to present debt issuance costs the same way they currently present debt discounts, as a direct deduction from the carrying value of that debt liability. ASU 2015-03 does not impact the recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs. The guidance in the ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. The effect of adopting this provision was to classify $13,539 of deferred financing against the related notes payable at December 31, 2015. Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption. The Company does not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to its financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures. Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made to conform prior period’s data to the current period’s presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on the results of reported operations, cash flows or stockholders’ deficit as previously reported.

3. Joint Venture	3. JOINT VENTURE On May 7, 2012, the Company entered into a joint venture (“the JV”) with NyacAU, LLC (“NyacAU”), an Alaskan private company, to bring Goldrich’s Chandalar placer gold properties into production as defined in the joint venture agreement. In each case as used herein in reference to the JV, “production” is as defined by the JV agreement. As part of the agreement, Goldrich and NyacAU formed a 50:50 joint venture company, Goldrich NyacAU Placer LLC (“GNP”), to operate the Chandalar placer mines, with NyacAU acting as managing partner. Goldrich has no significant control or influence over the JV, and therefore accounts for its investment using the cost method, which totals $nil at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. Under the terms of the joint venture agreement (the “Agreement”), NyacAU provided funding to the JV. The loans are to be repaid from future production. No funding has been advanced to Goldrich itself. According to the Agreement, on at least an annual basis, the JV shall allocate and distribute all revenue (whether in cash or as gold) generated from the JV’s placer operation in the following order: 1. Current year operating expenses, 2. Members’ distribution of 20% (10% to Goldrich and 10% to NyacAU) provided that, for so long as the loan (LOC2) to GNP from NyacAU for the purchase of a royalty is not paid in full, the JV shall retain 100% of Goldrich’s distribution and apply against the loan, 3. After payment of operating expenses and the member’s distribution of 20%, the JV will apply any remaining revenue to reduce the remaining balance of the loan from NyacAU to GNP for the development of the mine (LOC1), 4. Reserves for future operating expenses and capital needs, not to exceed $3,000,000 in any year, and 5. Member distributions of any remaining gold production on a 50:50 basis to each of the JV partners provided that, for so long as the loan LOC2 is not paid in full, the JV shall retain 100% of Goldrich’s distribution and apply against the loan. On June 23, 2015, the Company raised net proceeds of $1.1 million through the sale of 12% of the cash flows Goldrich receives in the future from its interest in GNP (“Distribution Interest”) to Chandalar Gold, LLC (“CGL”), a non-related entity. Goldrich retained its ownership of its 50% interest in GNP but, after the transaction, subject to the terms of the GNP operating agreement, Goldrich will effectively receive approximately 44% and CGL will receive 6% (12% of Goldrich’s 50% of GNP = 6%) of any cash distributions produced by GNP. As part of the purchase, CGL received 2,250,000 Series P Warrants and an option to acquire an additional 10% Distribution Interest in the cash flows Goldrich receives from its interest in GNP. Each Series P Warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of common stock of the Company at $0.07, for a period of five (5) years. The Distribution Interest option to purchase an additional 10% of Goldrich’s future cash flow from GNP in consideration of a one-time cash payment of $1.3 million was not exercised before July 1, 2016 and has expired. The lead agent for the sale received a commission equal to 5% of gross proceeds raised, was granted a perpetual undivided 0.5% interest in distributions paid out by GNP to Goldrich, and was issued 1.2 million Series P-2 Warrants. Each Series P-2 Warrant is exercisable into one share of common stock of the Company for a period of five (5) years at a price of $0.05 per share. The gross fair values of the Series P and Series P-2 warrants were estimated on the issue date at $110,250 and $60,000, respectively, using the following weighted average assumptions: Risk-free interest rate 1.71% Expected dividend yield 0 Expected term (in years) 5 Expected volatility 141.7% After applying the out of pocket costs of sale of $125,164 and recognizing the relative fair value of the Series P Warrants of $88,644, the Company recognized a gain of $930,892 on the sale of the joint venture cash distribution interest after applying an adjustment of $55,300 of the Investment in joint venture asset, reducing it to $nil at December 31, 2015.

5. Note Payable	5. NOTE PAYABLE On January 24, 2014, the Company closed an unsecured senior note financing for $300,000 with a private investment firm (“the lender”) with a maturity date of January 24, 2017. Per the note agreement, the $300,000 is the first of six-staged loans for total aggregate amount of up to $2 million. The note bears interest at 15%, payable at the end of each quarter. Interest of $45,000 was paid and expensed during the year ended December 31, 2015. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, interest of $33,750 was paid and expensed. Repayment of all amounts owed under the note is guaranteed by Goldrich Placer LLC, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, which in turn owns a 50% interest in Goldrich NyacAU Placer LLC. See Note 3 Joint Venture. The note contains standard default provisions, including failure to pay interest and principal when due. At September 30, 2016, the Company had an outstanding total note payable of $300,000 less remaining unamortized discounts of $10,143 for a net liability of $289,857. The lender elected to defer at least the second through the fifth tranches of the note. At September 30, 2016, the lender retains the right to lend the contracted amounts of the second through fifth tranches of the note.

7. Stockholders' Equity	7. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY Private Placement Offerings - Unit Private Placements 2016 Activity On September 30, 2016, the Company completed the first tranche of an offer and sale of 100 shares of Series E Preferred stock, resulting in net proceeds of $100,000 to the Company. These shares were issued from the designated 10,000,000 share of Preferred Stock, par value as the Board may determine. In connection with the issuance of the Series E Preferred Stock, the Company issued a total of 3,333,333, five-year Class R warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. The Class R warrants have an exercise price of $0.045 per share of the Company’s common stock and had a relative fair value of $23,743, as determined using a Black Scholes model and allocation between the preferred shares and the warrants. The fair value of the warrants was estimated on the issue date using the following weighted average assumptions: September 30, 2016 Risk-free interest rate 1.14% Expected dividend yield 0 Expected term (in years) 5 Expected volatility 152.8% Additionally, a beneficial conversion feature of $76,257 was determined to exist, which represented a deemed dividend to the holders of the preferred shares recognizable immediately upon issue due to the ability to convert the shares concurrent with issuance of the preferred shares. The fair value of the warrants and the beneficial conversion feature, which together consumed the value of the net proceeds, were charged to additional paid in capital at the date of issuance, resulting in no credit to Convertible preferred stock series E on the Company’s balance sheet. On April 6, 2016, June 13, 2016, and August 1, 2016, the Company completed the first, second and third tranches of an offer and sale of 150 shares of Series D Preferred stock, resulting in combined net proceeds of $150,000 to the Company. These shares were issued from the designated 10,000,000 share of Preferred Stock, par value as the Board may determine. In connection with the issuance of the Series D Preferred Stock, the Company issued a total of 5,000,000, five-year Class R warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. The Class R warrants have an exercise price of $0.045 per share of the Company’s common stock and had a relative fair value of $71,095, as determined using a Black Scholes model and allocation between the preferred shares and the warrants. The fair value of the warrants was estimated on the issue date using the following weighted average assumptions: April 6, 2016 June 13, 2016 August 1, 2016 Risk-free interest rate 1.2% 1.14% 1.06% Expected dividend yield 0 0 0 Expected term (in years) 5 5 5 Expected volatility 147.2% 149.6% 152.6% Additionally, a beneficial conversion feature of $78,905 was determined to exist, which represented a deemed dividend to the holders of the preferred shares recognizable immediately upon issue due to the ability to convert the shares concurrent with issuance of the preferred shares. The fair value of the warrants and the beneficial conversion feature, which together consumed the value of the net proceeds, were charged to additional paid in capital at the date of issuance, resulting in no credit to Convertible preferred stock series D on the Company’s balance sheet. Each share of Series D and Series E Preferred Stock is convertible into common shares of the Company equal in number to $1,000.00 divided by $0.03 per share of common stock. The purchaser of each share of Series D and Series E Preferred Stock also received Series R Warrants exercisable to purchase shares of common stock of the Company equal in number to the total purchase price divided by 0.03 (with fractional shares omitted), exercisable at any time beginning one year after the closing date for a term ending five years from the closing date at an exercise price of $0.045 per share of common stock. In the event that the Company sells any or all of its assets, in any combination, whether pursuant to a merger, share exchange, stock purchase, business combination or other similar transaction, for aggregate total compensation greater than $3,000,000 within a one-year period following the date of issuance of the Preferred Shares, the Purchaser shall have the right to demand that the Company redeem all or some of the outstanding Securities (the Preferred Shares, the Warrants, the Warrant Shares and the Conversion Shares) at a redemption price equal to the aggregate purchase price of such Securities being redeemed plus an additional amount equivalent to the amount of interest that would have accrued on the aggregate purchase price of the Securities being redeemed at a rate of 15% from the date of issuance of the Preferred Shares through to the date of redemption. The Company is in control of these features. On December 7, 2015, the Company completed the offer and sale of 250 shares of Series C Preferred stock, resulting in net proceeds of $225,000 to the Company. These shares were issued from the designated 10,000,000 share of Preferred Stock, par value as the Board may determine. In connection with the issuance of the Series C Preferred Stock, the Company issued a total of 9,166,666, five-year Class Q warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, including 833,333 broker warrants. The Class Q warrants have an exercise price of $0.03 per share of the Company’s common stock and had a relative fair value of $116,162 as determined using a Black Scholes model and allocation between the preferred shares and the warrants. The fair value of the warrants was estimated on the issue date using the following weighted average assumptions: Risk-free interest rate 1.68% Expected dividend yield 0 Expected term (in years) 5 Expected volatility 141.9% Additionally, a beneficial conversion feature of $81,250 was determined to exist, which represented a deemed dividend to the holder of the preferred shares recognizable immediately upon issue due to the ability to convert the shares concurrent with issuance of the preferred shares. Both the fair value of the warrants and the beneficial conversion feature were charged to additional paid in capital at the date of issuance. On April 7, 2015, the Company completed a private placement consisting of 5,000,000 units issued at a price of $0.05 per unit and resulted in net proceeds of $241,832. Each unit consisted of one share of the Company’s common stock and one full share Class O warrant. Each full Class O warrant is exercisable to purchase one additional common share of the Company at $0.06, for a period of five years following the date of issue. Warrants During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016, 5,125,936 class H warrants expired, 12,443,913 class I warrants expired, 7,317,978 class J warrants expired and 8,333,333 class R warrants were issued. At September 30, 2016, there were 50,031,569 common stock warrants outstanding with a weighted average exercise price of $0.088 and a weighted average remaining term of 3.3 years.

Accounting For Investments in Joint Ventures	Accounting for Investments in Joint Ventures For joint ventures in which the Company does not have joint control or significant influence, the cost method is used. Under the cost method, these investments are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. For those joint ventures in which there is joint control between the parties and in which the Company has significant influence, the equity method is utilized whereby the Company’s share of the ventures’ earnings and losses is included in the statement of operations as earnings in joint ventures and its investments therein are adjusted by a similar amount. Goldrich has no significant influence over its joint venture described in Note 3 Joint Venture For joint ventures where the Company holds more than 50% of the voting interest and has significant influence, the joint venture is consolidated with the presentation of a non-controlling interest. In determining whether significant influence exists, the Company considers its participation in policy-making decisions and its representation on the venture’s management committee. Goldrich currently has no joint venture of this nature. The Company periodically assesses its investments in joint ventures for impairment. If management determines that a decline in fair value is other than temporary it will write-down the investment and charge the impairment against operations.

Use of Estimates, Policy	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Significant estimates used in preparing these financial statements include those assumed in estimating the recoverability of the cost of mining claims, accrued remediation costs, asset retirement obligations, stock based compensation, and deferred tax assets and related valuation allowances.

New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy	Recent Accounting Pronouncements In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, “Interest Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs”. The provisions of ASU No. 2015-03 require companies to present debt issuance costs the same way they currently present debt discounts, as a direct deduction from the carrying value of that debt liability. ASU 2015-03 does not impact the recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs. The guidance in the ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. The effect of adopting this provision was to classify $13,539 of deferred financing against the related notes payable at December 31, 2015. Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption. The Company does not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to its financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.

Substantial Doubt about Going Concern	Going Concern The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred losses since its inception and does not have sufficient cash to fund normal operations and meet debt obligations for the next 12 months without deferring payment on certain current liabilities and/or raising additional funds. The Company currently has no historical recurring source of revenue and its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise capital to fund its future exploration and working capital requirements or its ability to profitably execute its business plan. The Company’s plans for the long-term return to and continuation as a going concern include the profitable exploitation of its mining properties and financing the Company’s future operations through sales of its common stock and/or debt. Additionally, the current capital markets and general economic conditions in the United States are significant obstacles to raising the required funds. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. If the going concern basis were not appropriate for these financial statements, adjustments would be necessary in the carrying value of assets and liabilities, the reported expenses and the balance sheet classifications used.

Other Significant Noncash Transaction, Description	On June 23, 2015, the Company raised net proceeds of $1.1 million through the sale of 12% of the cash flows Goldrich receives in the future from its interest in GNP (“Distribution Interest”) to Chandalar Gold, LLC (“CGL”), a non-related entity. Goldrich retained its ownership of its 50% interest in GNP but, after the transaction, subject to the terms of the GNP operating agreement, Goldrich will effectively receive approximately 44% and CGL will receive 6% (12% of Goldrich’s 50% of GNP = 6%) of any cash distributions produced by GNP. As part of the purchase, CGL received 2,250,000 Series P Warrants and an option to acquire an additional 10% Distribution Interest in the cash flows Goldrich receives from its interest in GNP. Each Series P Warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of common stock of the Company at $0.07, for a period of five (5) years. The Distribution Interest option to purchase an additional 10% of Goldrich’s future cash flow from GNP in consideration of a one-time cash payment of $1.3 million was not exercised before July 1, 2016 and has expired. The lead agent for the sale received a commission equal to 5% of gross proceeds raised, was granted a perpetual undivided 0.5% interest in distributions paid out by GNP to Goldrich, and was issued 1.2 million Series P-2 Warrants. Each Series P-2 Warrant is exercisable into one share of common stock of the Company for a period of five (5) years at a price of $0.05 per share.
