GREAT BASIN GOLD LTD. |
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements |
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 |
(Expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars - unaudited) |
1. | General information |
Great Basin Gold Ltd. (“Great Basin” or the “Company”) is incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia and its registered address is 1108-1030 West Georgia Street, Vancouver BC, Canada. The Company is a mineral exploration and development company that is currently focused on delivering two advanced stage projects: the Hollister Project on the Carlin Trend in Nevada, USA and the Burnstone Project in the Witwatersrand Goldfields in South Africa. The Company, currently recognized as an emerging producer, will migrate to the rank of a junior gold producer as production from these two projects increases during 2011 and 2012. Over and above the exploration being conducted at the above mentioned properties, greenfields exploration is being undertaken in Tanzania and Mozambique. | |
Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2011. In the opinion of management, these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period presented. | |
2. | Basis of preparation and adoption of IFRS |
The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) as set out in the Handbook of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (“CICA Handbook”). In 2010, the CICA Handbook was revised to incorporate International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), and require publicly accountable enterprises to apply such standards effective for years beginning on or after January 1, 2011. Accordingly, the Company commenced reporting on this basis in its 2011 interim consolidated financial statements. In these financial statements, the term “Canadian GAAP” refers to Canadian GAAP before the adoption of IFRS. | |
These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including IAS34,Interim Financial Reporting, and IFRS 1,First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards. The accounting policies followed in these interim financial statements are the same as those applied in the Company’s interim financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2011. The Company has consistently applied the same accounting policies throughout all periods presented, as if these policies had always been in effect. Note 12 discloses the impact of the transition to IFRS on the Company’s reported equity as at June 30, 2010 and comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010. | |
The accounting policies applied in these interim consolidated financial statements are based on IFRS effective for the year ended December 31, 2011, as issued and outstanding as of August 4, 2011, the date the Board of Directors approved the statements. Any subsequent changes to IFRS that are given effect in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2011 could result in restatement of these interim consolidated financial statements, including the transition adjustments recognized on change-over to IFRS. |

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements |
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 |
(Expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars - unaudited) |
2. | Basis of preparation and adoption of IFRS (continued) |
The interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Canadian GAAP annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010, and the Company’s interim financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 prepared in accordance with IFRS applicable to interim financial statements, which are both available through the internet on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. | |
3. | Significant accounting policies, judgments and estimation uncertainty |
Significant accounting policies | |
These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of application as the Company’s most recent annual financial statements, except for those changes recognized on change-over to IFRS, as described in note 12 of the Company’s interim financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. | |
Critical accounting estimates and judgments | |
The Company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future that will, by definition, seldom equal actual results. These estimates and judgments have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. | |
Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates relate to impairment of mineral property interests, valuation of inventories, allocation of purchase price consideration to the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities acquired, the determination of amortization, depletion and accretion, determination of reclamation obligations, the determination of the fair values of financial instruments, assumptions used in determining the fair value of non-cash share based payments, warrants and derivatives, determination of valuation allowances for deferred income tax liabilities, estimated market related interest rate used to calculate the equity component of compound financial instruments and allocation of indirect mining and overhead expenses to production and development costs. | |

(i) Mineral property interests
Under Canadian GAAP the fair value allocation on acquisition of mineral properties, treated as asset acquisitions, included a gross-up of deferred tax on the allocated fair value with the debit entry capitalized to the mineral property and the credit entry accounted for as a future income tax (deferred tax) liability. An IFRS adjusting entry in the amount of $65 million was processed on the January 1, 2010 balance sheet to eliminate the future income tax entry accounted for on acquisition of mineral properties.

(i)Mineral property interests (continued) | |
The adjustment to the values of mineral properties also affected other comprehensive income as well as depletion charges recorded in 2009 and 2010 on the Hollister mineral property. The impact on other comprehensive income relates to the foreign exchange translation of these mineral properties. Adjusting entries were processed to mineral properties, accumulated other comprehensive income (refer (iii) below) and deficit (refer (iv) below). | |
(ii)Future income taxes (deferred taxes) | |
In addition to the adjustment to future income taxes as noted in (i) above an additional adjustment was processed to eliminate the future income tax liability recognized under Canadian GAAP on the temporary difference between the accounting and tax base of mineral properties. Under IFRS, deferred taxes should not be recognized for the acquisition of assets that do not constitute a business combination and had no income statement impact on initial recognition. | |
A third adjustment to future income taxes was processed to account for a deferred tax liability on the temporary difference between the convertible debt instrument’s tax and accounting bases. Under IFRS the debit entry is recognized with the equity component of this compounded financial instrument in contributed surplus. | |
(iii) Accumulated other comprehensive income | |
In accordance with IFRS transitional provisions, the Company has elected to reset the foreign cumulative translation adjustment (“CTA”), which includes gains and losses arising from the translation of foreign operations, at the date of transition to IFRS. | |

(b) Adjustments to the statement of cash flows

Under Canadian GAAP, cash flows relating to interest were classified under operating activities.
