We do not intend to publicly release any revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

CAUTIONARY NOTE TO UNITED STATES INVESTORS

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Commission permits U.S. mining companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only those mineral deposits that a company can economically and legally extract or produce. Investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in our Form 10-K which may be secured from us, or from the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml

We also note that drilling results are not indicative of mineralized material in other areas where we have mining interests. Furthermore, mineralized material identified on our properties does not and may never have demonstrated economic or legal viability.

PART I

ITEM 1.

BUSINESS HISTORY AND ORGANIZATION

Dutch Gold Resources, Inc. (the “Company” or “Registrant” or “Dutch Gold”) is a precious metals exploration stage company engaged in the business of acquiring, exploring and developing mineral properties in North America. Dutch Gold Resources, Inc. (the “Company” or “Registrant” or “Dutch Gold” or “DGRI”) was incorporated in Colorado on October 13, 1989 as Ogden, McDonald & Company. On July 22, 1996, Ogden, McDonald & Company completed a transaction pursuant to which the shareholders of Worldwide PetroMoly Corporation, a Texas corporation, acquired approximately 90.6% of the shares outstanding in Ogden, McDonald & Company. On October 11, 1996, Ogden, McDonald & Company changed its name to Worldwide PetroMoly, Inc.

On June 1, 2001, Small Town Radio, Inc., a Georgia corporation ("Small Town Georgia"), was merged into a subsidiary of our Company. In connection with our acquisition of Small Town Georgia, on June 7, 2001, we sold all of the share capital of Worldwide PetroMoly to Mr. Gilbert Gertner, our former Chairman of the Board.

On May 23, 2002, Small Town Georgia was renamed "Small Town Radio of Georgia" in preparation for our reincorporation as a Nevada corporation. On May 28, 2002, Worldwide PetroMoly, Inc. was merged with and into Small Town Radio, Inc., a newly created Nevada corporation, in an incorporation merger.

The Company changed its name to Tombstone Western Resources, Inc. on May 1, 2006 and refocused to become a natural resources company. On December 7, 2006, the Company changed its name to Dutch Gold Resources, Inc. On January 16, 2007, the Registrant, Dutch Gold Resources, Inc. consummated the terms of its Share Exchange Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Dutch Mining, LLC (“Dutch Mining”) whereby the Registrant issued 24,000,000 shares of its Common Stock to the Dutch Mining equity holders and their designees in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Dutch Mining (the “Exchange”). Following the Exchange, Dutch Mining became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant and the Registrant had a total of 30,256,144 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. We presently hold an interest in properties in Nevada, Montana and Oregon. We are currently in the exploration stage and have not generated revenue from operations since 2008.

In January 2010, we acquired the assets of Aultra Gold, Inc., (AGDI), now known as Shamika 2 Gold, Inc., significantly increasing our land position. The assets of Aultra Gold, Inc. included a portfolio of properties in Nevada and Montana. Subsequently, Aultra Gold, Inc., completed a reverse merger with Shamika 2 Gold, Inc., whereby Shamika Resources, Inc. became the controlling shareholder and Dutch Gold ceased to be an affiliate of Shamika 2 Gold, Inc.

On March 26, 2010, AGDI entered into an Agreement and Plan of Share Exchange (the “Agreement”) withShamika Resources, Inc., a Canadian Corporation (“Shamika”) and the shareholders of Shamika (the “Shamika Holders”). Pursuant to the Agreement, AGDI acquired all of the outstanding shares (the “Shamika Shares”) from the Shamika Holders in exchange for the aggregate of 50,000,000 shares of the AGDI’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) (the “Exchange”).

The Company currently operates in one segment, exploring mineral properties.

Overview of Business and Properties

Our objective is to increase the value of our shares through the exploration, development and extraction of gold, silver and other valuable minerals. We generally conduct our business as sole operator, but we may enter into arrangements with other companies through joint venture or similar agreements in an effort to achieve our strategic objectives. We own or lease our mineral interests and properties and operate our business through various subsidiary companies, each of which is owned entirely, directly or indirectly, by us.

The Company holds a leasehold interest in a property near Philipsburg, Montana which consists of 217 acres of patented land and approximately 900 acres of Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land, referred to as Basin Gulch. All of the claims are lode. We acquired the property in 2010 and commenced a regional exploration program in 2010, which continued in 2011 with a series of additional drill holes. Over the next two years, we estimate we will spend approximately $3 million on exploration and development at the Basin Gulch Project, which will mainly consist of drilling, bulk sampling, data modeling and test mining. The Company intends to explore a nested diatreme complex as well as develop numerous underground hard rock mining opportunities.

The Jungo gold exploration project is located approximately 50 miles northwest of the town of Winnemucca in Humboldt County, Nevada. It is accessed by excellent county-maintained gravel roads west from Winnemucca, then north from Jungo junction. The last three miles to the property are accessed by poor quality dirt roads. The property is situated on the eastern margin of the Jackson Mountains.

The property is on BLM land and is held by 95 unpatented lode mining claims. Twenty five of the claims have a two percent net smelter return royalty to William (Bill) Hansen. The other 70 claims are owned by DGRI.

The property was acquired by DGRI in the transaction with Aultra Gold in January 2010. Mr. Hansen originally showed the property to Aultra Gold, which acquired it and staked additional claims. This project has been leased in a joint venture arrangement with Avidian Gold US, Inc.

There has been no production from any company projects since 2008. If and when there is production, the Company will report tons of ore mined, ore concentrate tonnage, concentrate grade, metallurgical recovery, terms and conditions of our refinery contracts and the quantities and prices payable for metal for which the Company receives revenue.

Principal Executive Offices

Our principal executive office is located at 3500 Lenox Road, Suite 1500, Atlanta, Georgia 30326. Our phone number is 404-419-2440. Our website is www.DutchGold.com. We currently lease office space for our corporate office and operations under a one-year renewable contract with monthly rental charges approximately $2,000 per month. We believe that these offices adequately meet the current needs of the Company.

General Government Regulations

United States

Mining in the State of Nevada and in the State of Montana is subject to Federal, state and local law. Three types of laws are of particular importance to our 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

The Jungo Project in Nevada is situated on lands owned by the United States (Federal Lands). 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, we have 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 Jungo property is administered by the United States Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management, which we refer to as the BLM. In general, the Federal laws that govern mining claim location and maintenance and mining operations on Federal Lands, are administered by the BLM. Additional Federal laws, such as those governing the purchase, transport or storage of explosives and those governing mine safety and health, also apply.

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 this is completed. The Nevada Department of Environmental Protection, which we refer to as the NDEP, is the state agency that administers the reclamation permits, mine permits and related closure plans on our Nevada property. Local jurisdictions (such as Humboldt County) may also impose permitting requirements (such as conditional use permits or zoning approvals).

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 our 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 our proposed operations may be encountered. We are 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 our operations will move beyond the exploration stage. If in the future we decide to proceed beyond exploration, there will be numerous notifications, permit applications and other decisions to be addressed at that time.

The State of Montana 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 this is completed. The Montana Department of Environmental Quality, which we refer to as the MDEQ, is the state agency that administers the reclamation permits, mine permits and related closure plans on our Montana property. Local jurisdictions (such as Humboldt County) may also impose permitting requirements (such as conditional use permits or zoning approvals).

Gold Uses

Gold is generally used for fabrication or investment. Fabricated gold has a variety of end uses including jewelry, electronics, dentistry, industrial and decorative uses, medals, medallions and official coins. Gold investors buy gold bullion, official coins and jewelry.

Gold Supply

A combination of current mine production and draw-down of existing gold stocks held by governments, financial institutions, industrial organizations and private individuals make up the annual gold supply. Based on public information available for the years 2008 through 2011, on average, current mine production has accounted for approximately 61% of the annual gold supply.

On March 30, 2012, the afternoon fixing gold price on the London Bullion Market was $1,662 per ounce and the spot market gold price on the New York Commodity Exchange was $1,673 per ounce.

Gold Price History

The price of gold is volatile and is affected by numerous factors all of which are beyond our control such as the sale or purchase of gold by various central banks and financial institutions, inflation, recession, fluctuation in the relative values of the US dollar and foreign currencies, changes in global and regional gold demand, and the political and economic conditions of major gold-producing countries throughout the world.

The following table presents the high, low and average afternoon fixed prices in U.S. dollars for gold per ounce on the London Bullion Market over the past nine years:

Year		High		Low		Average
	2003		416		320		363
	2004		454		375		410
	2005		537		411		445
	2006		725		525		603
	2007		841		608		695
	2008		1,011		713		872
	2009		1,146		810		978
	2010		1,421		1,058		1,225
	2011		1,900		1,429		1,665

Seasonality

Seasonality is not a material factor to the Company for its projects. Certain surface exploration work may need to be conducted when there is no snow but it is not a significant issue for the Company.

Competition

We compete with major mining companies and other natural mineral resource companies in the acquisition, exploration, financing and development of new projects. Many of these companies have greater resources and are better capitalized than the Company. There is significant competition for the limited number of gold acquisition and exploration opportunities. Our competitive position depends upon our ability to successfully and economically explore, acquire and develop new and existing mineral prospects. Factors that allow producers to remain competitive over the long-term include the quality and size of ore bodies, costs of operation, and the acquisition and retention of qualified employees. The Company competes with mining companies for skilled mining engineers, mine and processing plant operators and mechanics, geologists, geophysicists and other technical personnel. This competition could result in higher employee turnover and may result in higher labor costs.

Employees

As of December 31, 2011, we had 5 employees. Our employees in the U.S. include a geologist, who is our Chief Operating Officer, office administrator, accountant and the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. The Company believes we have good relations with our employees. We also engage independent contractors in connection with the exploration of our properties, such as drillers, geophysicists, geologists and other technical disciplines from time to time.

ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS

This report, including Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contains forward-looking statements that may be affected by several risk factors. The following information summarizes all material risks known to us as of the date of filing this report:

Our independent auditors have expressed doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Our independent registered public accounting firm has expressed doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern in their report on our December 31, 2011and December 31, 2010 financial statements. Our continuance as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to raise capital. There is no assurance that we will be able to raise adequate capital or generate sufficient cash from operations to continue as a going concern.

Because of our limited operations and the fact that we are not currently generating revenue, we may be unable to service our debt obligations.

We currently have total debt of approximately $3.8 million pursuant to notes issued by us and we are presently unable to meet the debt related interest obligations in the amount of $0.5 million. Our ability to satisfy our current debt service obligations and any additional obligations we might incur will depend upon our future financial and operating performance which, in turn, is subject to prevailing economic conditions and financial, business, competitive, legislative and regulatory factors, many of which are beyond our control. If our cash flow and capital resources continue to be insufficient to fund debt service and general obligations, we may be forced to reduce or delay planned acquisitions, expansion and capital expenditures, sell assets, obtain additional equity capital or restructure debt. We cannot provide assurance that our operating results, cash flow and capital resources will be sufficient for payment of debt service and other future obligations.

Because our common stock is quoted on the "OTC Pink Sheets," your ability to sell your shares in the secondary trading market may be limited.

Our common stock is currently quoted on theOTC Pink Sheets. Consequently, the liquidity of our common stock is impaired, not only in the number of shares that are bought and sold, but also through delays in the timing of transactions and coverage by security analysts and the news media, if any, of our company. As a result, prices for shares of our common stock may be lower than might otherwise prevail if our common stock was quoted and traded on NASDAQ or a national securities exchange.

Because our shares are "penny stocks," you may have difficulty selling them in the secondary trading market.

Federal regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 regulate the trading of so-called "penny stocks," which are generally defined as any security not listed on a national securities exchange or NASDAQ, priced at less than $5.00 per share and offered by an issuer with limited net tangible assets and revenues. Since our common stock currently is quoted on the Pink Sheets at less than $5.00 per share, our shares are "penny stocks" and may not be quoted unless a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated therewith is delivered to a potential purchaser prior to any trade.

In addition, because our common stock is not listed on NASDAQ or any national securities exchange and currently is quoted at and trades at less than $5.00 per share, trading in our common stock is subject to Rule 15g-9 under the Securities Exchange Act. Under this rule, broker-dealers must take certain steps prior to selling a "penny stock," which steps include:

•

Obtaining financial and investment information from the investor;

•

Obtaining a written suitability questionnaire and purchase agreement signed by the investor; and

•

Providing the investor a written identification of the shares being offered and the quantity of the shares.

If these penny stock rules are not followed by the broker-dealer, the investor has no obligation to purchase the shares. The application of these comprehensive rules will make it more difficult for broker-dealers to sell our common stock and our shareholders, therefore, may have difficulty in selling their shares in the secondary trading market.

Existing shareholders may face dilution from our financing efforts.

We are dependent on raising capital from external sources to execute our business plan. We plan to issue debt securities, capital stock or a combination of these securities. We may not be able to sell these securities, particularly under the current market conditions. Even if we are successful in finding buyers for our securities, the buyers could demand high interest rates or require us to agree to onerous operating covenants, which could in turn harm our ability to operate our business by reducing cash flow and restricting operating activities. If we were to sell our capital stock, we might be forced to sell shares at a depressed market price, which could result in substantial dilution to existing shareholders. In addition, shares of newly issued capital stock may have rights, privileges and preferences superior to those of our common shareholders.

Our future earnings may be adversely affected because of charges resulting from acquisitions, or an acquisition could reduce shareholder value.

The Company may be required to amortize, over a period of years, certain identifiable intangible assets. The resulting amortization expense could reduce overall net income and earnings per share. Changes in future markets or technologies may require us to accelerate the amortization of intangible assets in such a way that our overall financial condition or operating results are harmed. If changes in economic and/or business conditions cause impairment of goodwill and other intangibles acquired by acquisition, it is likely that a significant non – cash charge against our earnings would result. If economic and/or business conditions did not improve, we could incur additional impairment charges against any earnings we might have in the future. An acquired business could reduce shareholder value if it should generate a net loss or require invested capital.

Risks Relating to Our Company

We have incurred substantial losses since our inception and may never be profitable. Since our inception, we have never been profitable and we have not generated revenue from operations since 2008. As of December 31, 2011, our accumulated deficit was $25.8 million. To become profitable, we must identify additional mineralization and establish economic mineralization on our properties and then develop our properties or locate and enter into agreements with third party operators. It could be years before we receive any revenues from production, if ever. We may suffer significant additional losses in the future and may never be profitable. Even if we do achieve profitability, we may not be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis. We expect to incur losses unless and until such time as one or more of our properties enters into commercial production and generates sufficient revenue to fund our continuing operations.

The feasibility of mining any of our properties has not been established, meaning that we have not completed sufficient exploration or other work necessary to determine if it is commercially feasible to develop any of our properties. We are currently an exploration stage company.

The mineralized material identified on our properties, except for the aforementioned mineral properties acquired and fair valued related to the Aultra Gold asset acquisition, do not and may never demonstrate economic viability. Substantial expenditures are required to establish mineralization through drilling and additional study and there is no assurance that economically profitable mineralization will be established. Whether a mineral deposit can be commercially viable depends upon a number of factors, including the particular attributes of the deposit including size, grade and proximity to infrastructure; metal prices, which can be highly variable; and government regulations, including environmental and reclamation obligations. If we are unable to establish some or all of our mineralized material in sufficient quantities to justify commercial operations, we may not be able to raise sufficient capital to develop a mine, even if one is warranted. If we are unable to establish such mineralization, the market value of our securities may suffer and you may lose some or all of your investment.

The figures for our estimated mineralized material are based on interpretation and assumptions and may yield less mineral production under actual conditions than is currently estimated. Unless otherwise indicated, mineralization figures presented in our filings with securities regulatory authorities including the SEC, press releases and other public statements that may be made from time to time are based upon estimates made by independent geologists and our internal geologists. When making determinations about whether to advance any of our projects to development, we must rely upon such estimated calculations as to the mineralized material and grades of mineralization on our properties. Until ore is actually mined and processed, mineralized material and grades of mineralization must be considered as estimates only.

These estimates are imprecise and depend upon geological interpretation and statistical inferences drawn from drilling and sampling analysis, which may prove to be unreliable. We cannot assure you that:

•

Estimates will be accurate; mineralization estimates will be accurate; or this mineralization can be mined or processed profitably.

•

Any material changes in mineral estimates and grades of mineralization will affect the economic viability of placing a property into production and such property's return on capital. There can be no assurance that minerals recovered in small-scale tests will be recovered in large-scale tests under on-site conditions or in production scale.

The estimates contained in our public filings have been determined and valued based on assumed future prices, cut-off grades and operating costs that may prove to be inaccurate. Extended declines in market prices for gold and/or silver may render portions of our mineralization estimates uneconomic and result in reduced reported mineralization or adversely affect the commercial viability of one or more of our properties. Any material reductions in estimates of mineralization, or of our ability to extract this mineralization, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.

If we decide to put one or more of our properties into production, we will require significant amounts of capital and our ability to obtain this necessary funding will depend on a number of factors, including the status of the national and worldwide economy and the price of gold, silver and other precious metals. Fluctuations in production costs, material changes in the mineral estimates and grades of mineralization or changes in the political conditions or regulations in Montana or Nevada may make placing these properties into production uneconomic. Further, we may also be unable to obtain the necessary permits in a timely manner, on reasonable terms or on terms that provide us sufficient resources to develop our properties. These and other factors may cause us to delay production at the Basin Gulch Project and the Jungo Project beyond 2014, if at all.

We will require significant additional capital to continue our exploration activities and, if warranted, to develop mining operations. Substantial expenditures will be required to determine if proven and probable mineral mineralization exist at any of our properties, to develop metallurgical processes to extract metal, to develop the mining and processing facilities and infrastructure at any of our properties or mine sites and, in certain circumstances, to acquire additional property rights. We have spent and will be required to continue to expend significant amounts of capital for drilling, geological and geochemical analysis, assaying and, when warranted, feasibility studies with regard to the results of our exploration. We may not benefit from these investments if we are unable to identify commercially exploitable mineralized material. If we decide to put one or more of our properties into production, we will require significant amounts of capital to develop and construct the mining and processing facilities and infrastructure required for mining operations. Our ability to obtain necessary funding for these purposes, in turn, depends upon a number of factors including the status of the national and worldwide economy and the price of gold, silver and other precious metals. We may not be successful in obtaining the required financing or, if we can obtain such financing, such financing may not be on terms that are favorable to us. Failure to obtain such additional financing could result in delay or indefinite postponement of further exploration or development and the possible, partial or total loss of our potential interest in certain properties. Any such delay could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.

We may acquire additional exploration stage properties and we may face negative reactions if mineralization is not located on acquired properties. There can be no assurance that we will be able to identify and complete the acquisition of such properties at reasonable prices or on favorable terms and that mineralization will be identified on any properties that we acquire. We may also experience negative reactions from the financial markets if we are unable to successfully complete acquisitions of additional properties or if mineralization is not located on acquired properties. These factors may adversely affect the trading price of our common stock or our financial condition or results of operations.

Our industry is highly competitive. Attractive mineral lands are scarce and we may not be able to obtain quality properties. We compete with many companies in the mining industry including large, established mining companies with substantial capabilities, personnel and financial resources. There is a limited supply of desirable mineral lands available for claim staking, lease or acquisition in the U.S. and other areas where we may conduct exploration activities. We may be at a competitive disadvantage in acquiring mineral properties since we compete with these individuals and companies, many of which have greater financial resources and larger technical staffs than we do. Competition in the industry is not limited to the acquisition of mineral properties but also extends to the technical expertise to find, advance and operate such properties; the labor to operate the properties; and the capital for the purpose of funding such properties. Many competitors not only explore for and mine precious metals, but conduct refining and marketing operations on a world-wide basis. Such competition may result in our company being unable not only to acquire desired properties, but to recruit or retain qualified employees or to acquire the capital necessary to fund our operation and advance our properties. Our inability to compete with other companies for these resources would have a material adverse effect on our results of operation, financial condition and cash flows.

Fluctuating gold and silver prices could negatively impact our business. The potential for profitability of our gold and silver mining operations and the value of our mining properties are directly related to the market price of gold and silver. The price of gold and silver may also have a significant influence on the market price of our common stock. The market price of gold and silver historically has fluctuated significantly and is affected by numerous factors beyond our control. These factors include supply and demand fundamentals, expectations with respect to the rate of inflation, the relative strength of the U.S. dollar and other currencies, interest rates, gold and silver sales and loans by central banks, forward sales by metal producers, accumulation and divestiture by exchange traded funds, global or regional political, economic or banking crises and a number of other factors. The market price of silver is also affected by industrial demand. The selection of a property for exploration or development, the determination to construct a mine and place it into production and the dedication of funds necessary to achieve such purposes are decisions that must be made long before the first revenues, if any, from production will be received. Price fluctuations between the time that such decisions are made and the commencement of production can have a material adverse effect on the economics of a mine.

The volatility of mineral prices represents a substantial risk that no amount of planning or technical expertise can fully eliminate. In the event gold and silver prices decline and remain low for prolonged periods of time, we might be unable to develop our properties, which may adversely affect our results of operations, financial performance and cash flows. Title to mineral properties can be uncertain, and we are at risk of loss of ownership of one or more of our properties. Our ability to explore and operate our properties depends on the validity of our title to that property. Our mineral properties consist of leases of unpatented mining claims, as well as unpatented mining and millsite claims that we control directly. Unpatented mining claims provide only possessory title and their validity is often subject to contest by third parties or the Federal government, which makes the validity of unpatented mining claims uncertain and generally more risky. These uncertainties relate to such things as the sufficiency of mineral discovery, proper posting and marking of boundaries, assessment work and possible conflicts with other claims not determinable from public record. Since a substantial portion of all mineral exploration, development and mining in the United States now occurs on unpatented mining claims, this uncertainty is inherent in the mining industry. We have not obtained title opinions covering our entire property, with the attendant risk that title to some claims, particularly title to undeveloped property, may be defective. There may be valid challenges to the title to our property that, if successful, could impair development and/or operations.

We remain at risk in that the mining claims may be forfeited either to the United States or to rival private claimants due to failure to comply with statutory requirements as to location and maintenance of the claims or challenges to whether a discovery of a valuable mineral exists on every claim.

Our continuing reclamation obligations at the Basin Gulch and our other properties could require significant additional expenditures. We are responsible for the reclamation obligations related to disturbances located on all of our properties, including the Basin Gulch project and the Jungo project. We have posted a bond in the amount of the estimated reclamation obligation at the Jungo and Basin Gulch. There is a risk that any cash bond, even if increased based on the analysis and work performed to update the reclamation obligations, could be inadequate to cover the actual costs of reclamation when carried out. The satisfaction of bonding requirements and continuing reclamation obligations will require a significant amount of capital. There is a risk that we will be unable to fund these additional bonding requirements and, further, that the regulatory authorities may increase reclamation and bonding requirements to such a degree that it would not be commercially reasonable to continue exploration activities, which may adversely affect our results of operations, financial performance and cash flows. The bonds posted related to these properties were expensed when originally paid as they will be used for reclamation purposes.

Our ongoing operations and past mining activities are subject to environmental risks, which could expose us to significant liability and delay, suspension or termination of our operations. All phases of our operations are subject to Federal, state and local environmental regulation. These regulations mandate, among other things, the maintenance of air and water quality standards and land reclamation. They also set forth limitations on the generation, transportation, storage and disposal of solid and hazardous waste. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner which will require stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects and a heightened degree of responsibility for us and our officers, directors and employees. Future changes in environmental regulation, if any, may adversely affect our operations, make our operations prohibitively expensive or prohibit them altogether. Environmental hazards may exist on our properties that are unknown to us at the present and that have been caused by us, or previous owners or operators, or that may have occurred naturally. Mining properties from the companies we have acquired may cause us to be liable for remediating any damage that those companies may have caused. The liability could include response costs for removing or remediating the release and damage to natural resources including ground water, as well as the payment of fines and penalties.

Failure to comply with applicable environmental laws, regulations and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions thereunder, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities, causing operations to cease or be curtailed and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment or remedial actions.

Our operations are subject to permitting requirements that could require us to delay, suspend or terminate our operations on our mining properties. Our operations, including ongoing exploration drilling programs, require permits from the state and Federal governments, including permits for the use of water and for drilling wells for water. We may be unable to obtain these permits in a timely manner, on reasonable terms or on terms that provide us sufficient resources to develop our properties, or at all. Even if we are able to obtain such permits, the time required by the permitting process can be significant. If we cannot obtain or maintain the necessary permits, or if there is a delay in receiving these permits, our timetable and business plan for exploration of our properties maybe adversely affected, which may in turn adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Legislation has been proposed that would significantly affect the mining industry. Periodically, members of the U.S. Congress have introduced bills that would supplant or alter the provisions of the General Mining Law of 1872 which governs the unpatented claims that we control with respect to our U.S. properties. One such amendment has become law and has imposed a moratorium on the patenting of mining claims, which reduced the security of title provided by unpatented claims such as those on our U.S. properties. If additional legislation is enacted, it could substantially increase the cost of holding unpatented mining claims by requiring payment of royalties, and could significantly impair our ability to develop mineral estimates on unpatented mining claims. Such bills have proposed, among other things, to make permanent the patent moratorium, to impose a Federal royalty on production from unpatented mining claims and to declare certain lands as unsuitable for mining. Although it is impossible to predict at this time what royalties may be imposed in the future, the imposition of such royalties could adversely affect the potential for development of such mining claims, and the economics of existing operating mines on Federal unpatented mining claims. Passage of such legislation could adversely affect our business.

In March 2010, the State of Nevada enacted Assembly Bill No. 6 ("AB6") which sought to balance the state budget by reducing expenditures and increasing certain fees. Among those fee increases was a one-time fee payable in conjunction with the annual filing of an affidavit of the intent to hold a mining claim, with a tiered fee structure applied for holders of 11 or more claims. The fee ranges from $70 per claim for holders of 11 to 199 claims up to $195 per mining claim for holders of 1,300 or more claims as of the date of filing. We filed our annual affidavits of our intent to hold a mining claim. We remain at risk that Nevada may impose additional fees or other levies affecting the mining industry in the future.

We are currently in the exploration stage and our management has limited experience in developing and operating a mine. We are currently working towards developing our Basin Gulch Project in Montana and our Jungo Project in Nevada. Our ability to manage our growth, if any, will require us to improve and expand our management and our operational and financial systems and controls. If our management is unable to manage growth effectively, our business and financial condition may be materially harmed. In addition, if rapid growth occurs, it may strain our operational, managerial and financial resources.

We are subject to litigation risks. All industries, including the mining industry, are subject to legal claims, with and without merit. Defense and settlement costs can be substantial, even with respect to claims that have no merit. Due to the inherent uncertainty of the litigation process, the resolution of any particular legal proceeding could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.

The nature of mineral exploration and production activities involves a high degree of risk and the possibility of uninsured losses that could materially and adversely affect our operations.

Exploration for minerals is highly speculative and involves greater risk than many other businesses. Many exploration programs do not result in the discovery of mineralization, and any mineralization discovered may not be of sufficient quantity or quality to be profitably mined. Few properties that are explored are ultimately advanced to production. Our current exploration efforts are, and any future development or mining operations we may elect to conduct will be, subject to all of the operating hazards and risks normally incident to exploring for and developing mineral properties, such as, but not limited to: economically insufficient mineralized material; fluctuations in production costs that may make mining uneconomical; availability of labor, power, transportation and infrastructure; labor disputes; potential delays related to social and community issues; unanticipated variations in grade and other geologic problems; environmental hazards; water conditions; difficult surface or underground conditions; industrial accidents; metallurgical and other processing problems; mechanical and equipment performance problems; failure of pit walls or dams; unusual or unexpected rock formations; personal injury, fire, flooding, cave-ins and landslides; decrease in mineralization due to a lower silver price; and decrease in mineralization due to a lower gold price.

Any of these risks can materially and adversely affect the development of properties, production quantities and rates, expenditures, potential revenues and production dates. We have no insurance to guard against any of these risks. If we determine that capitalized costs associated with any of our mineral interests are not likely to be recovered, we would incur a write-down of our investment in these interests. All of these factors may result in losses in relation to amounts spent that are not recoverable.

We do not insure against all risks to which we may be subject in our planned operations. We may also be unable to obtain insurance to cover other risks at economically feasible premiums or at all. Insurance coverage may not continue to be available or may not be adequate to cover liabilities. We might also become subject to liability for environmental, pollution or other hazards associated with mineral exploration and production which may not be insured against, which may exceed the limits of our insurance coverage or which we may elect not to insure against because of premium costs or other reasons. Losses from these events may cause us to incur significant costs that could materially adversely affect our financial condition and our ability to fund activities on our property. A significant loss could force us to reduce or terminate our operations.

We depend on a limited number of personnel and the loss of any of these individuals could adversely affect our business. Our company is dependent on key management, namely our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, our Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, and our Chief Financial Officer. Daniel Hollis, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, is responsible for strategic direction and the oversight of our business. Rauno Perttu, our Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, is responsible for the oversight of technical information development, corporate and project development and management. Thomas Leahey, our Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for treasury management, all accounting activity, reporting and compliance with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We rely heavily on these individuals for the conduct of our business. The loss of any of these officers would significantly and adversely affect our business. In that event, we would be forced to identify and retain an individual to replace the departed officer. We may not be able to replace one or more of these individuals on terms acceptable to us. We have no life insurance on the life of any officer.

Some of our directors may have conflicts of interest as a result of their involvement with other natural resource companies. Some of our directors are directors or officers of other natural resource or mining-related companies or may be involved in related pursuits that could present conflicts of interest with their roles at Dutch Gold. These associations may give rise to conflicts of interest from time to time. In the event that any such conflict of interest arises, a director who has such a conflict is required to disclose the conflict to a meeting of the directors of the company in question and to abstain from voting for or against approval of any matter in which such director may have a conflict. In appropriate cases, we will establish a special committee of independent directors to review a matter in which several directors or management may have a conflict.

Risks Relating to Our Common Stock

Our stock price has historically been volatile and, as a result, you could lose all or part of your investment.

The market price of our common stock has fluctuated significantly and may decline further in fiscal 2012. The fluctuation of the market price of our common stock has been affected by many factors that are beyond our control including: changes in the worldwide price for gold and/or silver, results from our exploration or development efforts and the other risk factors discussed herein.

Because our common stock is quoted on the "OTC Pink Sheets," your ability to sell your shares in the secondary trading market may be limited.

Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Pink Sheets. Consequently, the liquidity of our common stock is impaired, not only in the number of shares that are bought and sold, but also through delays in the timing of transactions and coverage by security analysts and the news media, if any, of our company. As a result, prices for shares of our common stock may be lower than might otherwise prevail if our common stock was quoted and traded on NASDAQ or a national securities exchange.

A registration of a significant amount of our outstanding restricted stock may have a negative effect on the trading price of our stock.

At December 31, 2011, shareholders of the Company had 136,748,544 shares of restricted stock, or 27% of the outstanding common stock. If we were to file a registration statement including all of these shares, and the registration is allowed by the SEC, these shares would be freely tradable upon the effectiveness of the planned registration statement. If investors holding a significant number of freely tradable shares decide to sell them in a short period of time following the effectiveness of a registration statement, such sales could contribute to significant downward pressure on the price of our stock.

We do not intend to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future and, therefore, any return on your investment in our capital stock must come from increases in the fair market value and trading price of the capital stock.

We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock and do not intend to pay cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain future earnings, if any, for reinvestment in the development and expansion of our business. Any credit agreements, which we may enter into with institutional lenders, may restrict our ability to pay dividends. Whether we pay cash dividends in the future will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will be dependent upon our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and any other factors that the board of directors decides is relevant. Therefore, any return on your investment in our capital stock must come from increases in the fair market value and trading price of the capital stock.

We may issue additional equity shares to fund the Company’s operational requirements which would dilute share ownership.

The Company's continued viability depends on its ability to raise capital. Changes in economic, regulatory or competitive conditions may lead to cost increases. Management may also determine that it is in the best interest of the Company to develop new services or products. In any such case additional financing is required for the Company to meet its operational requirements. There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to obtain such financing on terms acceptable to the Company and at times required by the Company, if at all. In such event, the Company may be required to materially alter its business plan or curtail all or a part of its operational plans.

Large amounts of our common stock will be eligible for resale under Rule 144.

As of December 31, 2011, 136,748,544 of 507,572,976 issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock were restricted securities as defined under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) and under certain circumstances may be resold without registration pursuant to Rule 144.

Approximately 98,234,286 shares of our restricted shares of common stock are held by non-affiliates who may avail themselves of the public information requirements and sell their shares in accordance with Rule 144. As a result, some or all of these shares may be sold in accordance with Rule 144 potentially causing the price of the Company’s shares to decline.

In general, under Rule 144, a person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) who has satisfied a six month holding period may, under certain circumstances, sell within any three-month period a number of securities which does not exceed the greater of 1% of the then outstanding shares of common stock or the average weekly trading volume of the class during the four calendar weeks prior to such sale. Rule 144 also permits, under certain circumstances, the sale of securities, without any limitation, by a person who is not an Affiliate, as such term is defined in Rule 144(a)(1), of the Company and who has satisfied a two-year holding period. Any substantial sale of the Company's common stock pursuant to Rule 144 may have an adverse effect on the market price of the Company’s shares. This filing will satisfy certain public information requirements necessary for such shares to be sold under Rule 144.

Because our shares are "penny stocks," you may have difficulty selling them in the secondary trading market.

•

Obtaining financial and investment information from the investor;

•

Obtaining a written suitability questionnaire and purchase agreement signed by the investor; and

•

Providing the investor a written identification of the shares being offered and the quantity of the shares.

Because our common stock is subject to a “chill” by the Depository Trust Clearing Corporation (DTCC), your ability to sell your shares in the secondary trading market may be limited.

Effective close of business Sept 2, 2011, DTCC placed a “chill” on deposit of the Company’s Common Stock. Effectively, this chill restricts shareholders from depositing share of our common stock with brokerage firms to effectuate public resales. This chill has adversely affected the ability of our shareholders to deposit and sell their shares and the Company’s ability to raise funds and is expected to continue to do so until the chill is lifted.

ITEM 2.

PROPERTIES

We generally hold mineral interests through patented and unpatented mining and mill site claims, leases of patented and unpatented mining claims and joint venture and other agreements. Patented and Unpatented mining claims are held subject to paramount title in the United States. In order to retain these claims, we must pay annual maintenance fees to the BLM and to the counties within which the claims are located. Rates for these jurisdictions vary and may change over time. Other obligations that must be met include obtaining and maintaining necessary regulatory permits and lease and option payments to claim owners.

For purposes of organizing and describing our exploration efforts in the United States, we have grouped our properties into two complexes, the Basin Gulch Complex and the Jungo Complex. Mineral properties outside these areas and where we to date have performed limited exploration work are grouped as "Other United States Properties." Certain properties are subject to certain royalty and earn-in rights.

Minnie Moore Mines

The Company entered into lease agreements with the Bilbray Trust and the Johnston Trust for a project located near Bellevue, Idaho during the third quarter of 2011. The Company terminated its lease agreement with Minnie Moore Mine effective as of December 31, 2011.

Jungo Project The Jungo gold exploration project is located approximately 50 miles northwest of the town of Winnemucca, in Humboldt County, Nevada. Excellent county-maintained gravel roads access it west from Winnemucca then north from Jungo junction. The last three miles to the property are by poor quality dirt roads. The property is situated on the eastern margin of the Jackson Mountains.

The following map illustrates the general location of the Jungo gold exploration project in Nevada:

Geologic Setting:

The Jungo property is underlain by Pretertiary metasedimentary and metadiorite rocks that have locally been covered and intruded by younger, possibly Miocene, volcanic units. These units are largely covered by unconsolidated gravels from the adjacent mountainside, and by Pleistocene lake beds. A series of range-front normal faults offsets these units and is probably associated with mineralization on the property. A key player in mineralization is likely an apparent volcanic vent that was intersected in trenching and drilling, and appears associated with the range-front faulting.

Property:

The property was acquired by DGRI by the transaction with Aultra Gold in January 2010. Mr. Hansen originally showed the property to Aultra Gold (“AGI”), which acquired it and staked additional claims.

Work on the Property:

AGI Exploration:

Mr. Hansen told AGI that he had several years earlier drilled three holes on the property, but the earlier records were lost. AGI surface sampled the property and completed two trenches in 2007. AGI’s sampling and trenching produced encouraging results. Among the promising results was a twenty-foot interval in the first of two trenches that assayed 0.042 opt gold and more than 0.5 opt silver. A select sample of trench rock assayed 0.6 opt gold and 4.44 opt silver.

An isolated pit to bedrock almost 2,000 feet to the northwest assayed 0.11 opt gold and 3.80 opt silver.

2010 Trenching Program by Dutch

During the spring of 2010, DGRI completed three new trenches at Jungo. The 2010 Trench JTP-3 was sited 1020 feet north of the northern 2007 trench and was dug in an easterly down-slope orientation to cut across the base of the eastern hillside of the Jackson Mountains. Trench JTP-3 exposed altered Pretertiary metamorphosed sedimentary and igneous rocks that have been locally intruded by younger sialic shallow igneous rocks. All of the rocks have been fundamentally shattered and sheared, with the appearance of volcanic venting. Trench JTP-3 exposed the apparent continuation of the silicic gold-bearing volcanic vent rocks that were seen in the northern 2007 trench. The interval from 140 feet to 270 feet in Trench JTP-3 had the appearance of a volcanic vent zone. It contained erratic blocks of altered older metamorphic rocks and visibly copper-bearing rocks from an earlier mineralizing event, mixed with and locally dominated by younger highly silicic gassy volcanics. The zone is gold bearing. The trench interval from 200 to 210 feet assayed 0.048 opt gold and 0.5 opt silver. The interval from 240 to 250 feet contained 0.076 opt gold and 2.6 ounces silver. The adjacent interval from 250 to 260 feet assayed 0.017 opt gold and a half-ounce silver.

The eastern margin of trench JTP-2, located 400 feet north of Trench JTP-3, averaged 0.028 opt gold and 0.67 opt silver from 10 to 60 feet. Within this zone, the interval from 50 to 60 foot assayed 0.087 opt gold and .71 opt silver.

Data from Kernow Resources

During the summer of 2010, DGRI was able to locate information on the historic exploration done on the property. Key information, including historic drill cuttings and core, with partial assaying, was graciously given to DGRI by Kernow Resources. DGRI was told that eleven of approximately 20 permitted holes in the Jungo area were actually drilled during the 1990’s. DGRI is reviewing these cores and cuttings. Most of these holes were drilled to the west and east of DGRI’s target area because they were targeted on geophysical anomalies. DGRI is focused on apparently younger silicified volcanic vent materials that appear to be low in sulfides, and unlikely to form a strong geophysical signature. It appears that the previous explorers didn’t recognize the vent structures while they were focused on drilling the sulfide-related geophysical targets and a visibly copper-stained vein system.

DGRI believes that at least two stages of mineralization occurred in the area. An earlier high-temperature period of mineralization was copper-rich, with limited gold and zinc accessory mineralization. This stage of mineralization had locally strong sulfides, and is likely associated with the geophysical targets. A later apparently lower temperature period of mineralization contains more gold and silver with lower sulfide content that was all oxidized in Dutch’s trenches.

The earlier exploration was conducted during a time of lower, and dropping gold prices, and Kernow reportedly had money constraints for continued exploration. Nevertheless, the company had encouraging results, as described in their web site:

“Sulphide mineralization sampled from outcrop and trenches contain anomalous gold, silver, mercury, copper and zinc values. Gold assays from trenching and outcrop range between 0.1 g/t Au and 37 g/t Au. The “sulphide” zone which trends north northeast across the property has been intersected in several drill holes containing in one instance 2.71% copper, 0.048 opt gold and 1.7 opt (ounces per ton) silver over 14 feet. (Hole SH-6C, a diamond drill hole).”

The Company also intersected several other mineralized zones in the overall very shallow drilling. Only three of the holes were core holes, and a comparison of two nearby holes, SH-3, a reverse-circulation (RC) hole, and SH-6C, a core hole, shows the mineralization could be better than suggested by the RC holes. A comparison of two key shallow zones in the two holes shows 0.034 opt gold, 1.02 opt silver, and 2.72% copper in the upper zone of the RC hole, versus 0.049 opt gold, 1.72 opt silver, and 2.83% copper in the core hole. The lower compared zone shows 0.004 opt gold, 0.06 opt silver and 0.07 percent copper in the RC hole, versus 0.052 opt gold, 1.76 opt silver and 0.12% copper in the core hole. Reduced values often occur in RC holes because of cuttings loss, gravity separation during the blowing of cuttings out of the hole, and from “floating” of the gold and sulfides in drill fluids. Although these holes did not intersect Dutch’s target zone, they show extensive mineralization across the area drilled, which is considered very encouraging. Kernow’s information also shows a steeply-west dipping zone containing 56 feet of 0.026 opt gold that is not Dutch’s target zone, nor has it been drill-tested.

Kernow concluded:“There has been a considerable amount of work carried out on the Shawnee that has identified at least two phases of near surface mineralization which, for the most part, appears to be structurally controlled and associated with the range front faulting. Recent geophysical surveys and review of previous data infers that the mineralization continues at depth. Geochemistry infers that there is an upper and lower system or that there is metal zonation around an intrusive.

Compilation of all the data generated to date also indicates that the majority of the drilling has not adequately tested any of the geophysical targets generated by the either the gradient array survey or the di-pole di-pole survey.

Considering the strong indicator element geochemistry and the strength of the upper mineralized system the principal target at the Shawnee is now defined as being a wide, structurally prepared high silica, polymetallic multiple vein/stockwork system, the top of which gains strength and continuity approximately 400 feet below surface and continues at depth. This theory is reinforced by the real section I.P. and the Resistivity measurements that accompany it. Alteration exposed on surface and in drill holes confirms that the mineralization encountered to date is high in the system.”

In its evaluation of the new date, DGRI concluded that the newly identified volcanic vent had not been tested, nor had the deeper mineralization postulated by Kernow. The extensive shallow low-grade mineralization discovered in the earlier drilling and trenching, and in DGRI’s trenching, also encourage DGRI that the possibility exists that in-fill and step-out drilling will establish an open-pit gold deposit. Most of Nevada’s new mines were discovered and established over a series of exploration programs that progressively built an economic reserve.

2011 Developments

During January of 2011, the Company completed drill core hole 11-1C at Jungo, to angle across a portion of the interpreted volcanic breccia pipe. The hole was angled -60 degrees northwest to undercut a trench dug earlier by Dutch that crossed a broad mineralized zone with strong silicification, sinter, and fine-grained igneous rocks.

The core hole confirmed the trench structure. The core interval from 60 feet to 336 feet was dominated by fine-grained shallow sialic igneous rock mixed with local blocks and fragments of Pretertiary sedimentary rocks and chloritized diorite. The interval contained abundant bleaching, silicification, clay-like alteration, and apparent volcanic ash and pumice. The entire interval contained very abundant sulfides, with local zones that are mostly pyrite. The sulfides are associated with zones of shearing, tectonic flow structures, and crackle breccia textures. The interval appears to cross a volcanic vent zone that developed along the range front faulting.

The property appears to contain at least two mineral systems, an earlier, higher temperature copper-dominated system, and a later lower temperature gold and silver dominated system.

The drill hole intersected an interval containing 1.4 percent copper from 55 to 70 feet. This copper zone has been encountered in trenches and prior drilling on the property to the north. Although the interpreted vent zone in the drill hole is considered to be high in the structure, almost all of the zone from 60 feet to 336 feet contained measurable levels of gold. The interval from 75 feet to 80 feet assayed 0.017 opt gold and 0.2 opt silver. The interval from 105 feet to 115 feet assayed 0.02 opt gold and 0.5 opt silver. The interval from 146 feet to 148 feet assayed 0.04 opt gold and 0.5 opt silver. A two-inch sample selected for more detailed assaying at 105 feet assayed 0.5 opt gold and 10 opt silver, suggesting a possible nugget effect.

The Company considers this drill hole to be encouraging. The hole intersected a strong, thick zone with strong sulfides. The strong sulfides, coupled with strong arsenic and measurable gold and silver over a broad zone at a very shallow part of the system suggests to the Company that this zone needs to be drilled at deeper levels to explore for high grade mineralization. The Company’s trenching and drilling have established persistent mineralization over an open-ended area several hundred feet wide that extends for 2,000 foot along the range front and has not yet been limited.

DGRI’s Overview of Project and Joint Venture Agreement

DGRI has been contacted by outside companies, at least one of which is actively exploring in the local area, regarding a possible leasing or joint venture arrangement. DGRI believes the property has significant promise. DGRI believes the geology of the Jungo project has similarities to the geology of numerous other projects in the immediate area.

On September 2, 2011, the Company announced a joint venture with Avidian Gold USA, Inc. (“Avidian”) a privately held company. Under the terms of the agreement, Avidian is responsible for the carrying costs of the project, including fees and taxes. Avidian is obligated to perform certain drilling and exploration activities under the lease.

Basin Gulch Project

The following map illustrates the general location of the Basin Gulch Project in Montana:

Description of Basin Gulch Property, Montana

The Basin Gulch area has historically been mined by traditional placer methods, including hydraulic mining since the early part of the last century. The remains of this mining activity still exist on the site in the form of collapsed short adits, excavations, mine ponds, remains of log cabins and outbuildings, and log and dirt dams and hydraulic diversion structures. Magma Gold Inc. (MGI), who discovered the Basin Gulch deposit, explored the lode source of the placer gold from the late 1980s until 1997. To date, 329 reverse circulation and core holes have been drilled on the property for a total of 91,000 feet, with holes ranging from 80 feet to 1,050 feet in depth. In addition, 40 test trenches with a total length of 17,000 feet have taken place. In addition to the drilling, there have been two geophysical surveys, soil geochemistry surveys, topographic surveys, and geologic mapping projects carried out on the property. Most of these studies were conducted under the direction of Rauno Perttu, DGRI’s COO, and DGRI possess most of the information from these activities.

The Basin Gulch Project is an advanced stage exploration project with a substantial investment already made in previous exploration work on the property. Most of this work was directed by DGRI’s COO Rauno Perttu on behalf of a private company, of which he was part owner. However, no mining has yet taken place on the site, beyond the older placering and very limited lode prospect pits. In addition, due diligence studies have been carried out on the Basin Gulch property over the last 20 years or so by a number of investigators, and a number of publicly-available reports have been produced by the Montana Bureau of Mines and Geology (MBMG) and the USGS on the general geology of the area.

Basin Gulch consists of eleven patented mining claims, surrounded by the Deer Lodge National Forest, totaling about 217.9 acres and 45 unpatented claims totaling approximately 900 acres. A number of consultants, exploration companies, and Federal and State of Montana agencies prepared various geological and mineralogical models of Basin Gulch. The claims are all located at the head of Basin Gulch, on the northern slopes the West Fork Buttes, within the Sapphire Range of the Western Montana Rocky Mountains. The property is about 19 road miles west of the town of Philipsburg, Montana, within the Rock Creek Mining District of Granite County. The patented portion of the property is owned by a local Philipsburg family, and is under lease agreement to DGRI. The Basin Gulch area is historically a placer mining area lacking a historical association with a lode source for the placer gold. The local placers have been operated since before the turn of the 20th century up until just recently, although most of the work was conducted during the early 1900’s.

Miners and earlier geologists had mistakenly identified them as stream gravel and cobbles. Rauno Perttu, who discovered the Basin Gulch deposit in 1987, was the first to recognize the diatreme complex. He noticed that a significant part of the historic placering had actually been of the upper oxidized portion of the diatreme complex. The diatreme is so extensive, and the clasts are so rounded by mechanical and chemical erosion within the diatreme that miners and earlier geologists as stream gravel and cobbles had mistakenly identified them. The nature of the clasts and matrix, plus geological details, led to the recognition of the diatreme complex. Later geophysical studies and drilling confirmed this reinterpretation. To DGRI, the fact that the upper diatreme had been successfully placer mined for coarse free gold is encouraging, and DGRI plans future testing for coarse gold within the diatreme.

Patented Property:

A title study was completed in the mid-1990s by MGI, and there is no reason to believe the results of that work have changed. The property deeds can be viewed at the Granite County Courthouse in Philipsburg, Montana.

The Claims:

The claims are all located in south-central Granite County, in portions of Section 34, Township 7 North, Range 16 West, and Sections 3, 4, and 9, Township 6 North, Range 16 West. The patented mining claims making up the Basin Gulch Group include the following:

(i)	Landes	(Mineral Survey 5565)

(ii)	Shylock	(Mineral Survey 6354)

(iii)	Shively	(Mineral Survey 5755)

(iv)	Quartz Hill	(Mineral Survey 5564)

(v)	Spencerian	(Mineral Survey 8140)

(vi)	Gold Hill 5	(Mineral Survey 5755)

(vii)	Basin	(Mineral Survey 9026)

(viii)	Blue Bell Lode	(Mineral Survey 9530)

(ix)	White Pine	(Mineral Survey 8137)

(x)	Yellow Pine	(Mineral Survey 8139)

(xi)	Jack White	(Mineral Survey 8138)

These claims were re-traced on the ground by Anderson Engineering of Dillon, Montana in 1996. DGRI has engaged Anderson to update the survey and mapping files for the property, including claim boundaries and drill hole and trench locations.

Mineralization:

The lode mineralization at the head of Basin Gulch is associated with a gaseous Eocene silicic intrusive that invaded between the plates of two Precambrian thrust sheets. The intrusive formed a major diatreme complex that is centered on the gold and silver mineralization, which spreads outward from the diatreme complex over an extensive distance. The intrusive event also formed a number of smaller, parasitic diatremes and breccia zones scattered throughout the property and off the property for several miles in all directions. The gold mineralization is found throughout the site near the surface and at depths in excess of 1,000 feet at levels averaging about 0.01 ounces per ton, with higher grade areas and intercepts. The higher grade zones tend to be associated with the edges of the various diatremes and post- and pre-diatreme faulting that cut the diatremes. The highest grades appear associated with voids formed near and within the diatreme when juvenile and surrounding bedrock material fell back into the diatreme throat during periods of quiescence. This association with voids and faulting has been recognized at other gold sites and is well described in the literature. The pervasive gold mineralization is associated with pervasive silver mineralization, usually at levels ranging from a fraction of an ounce to an ounce per ton, again with higher grade multi-ounce areas. The higher grade silver areas are locally associated with elevated gold values, but can also be independent of gold values, suggesting a complex mineralization history.

Rauno Perttu explored the lode source of the placer gold, and the surrounding region, from the late 1980s until 1997. To date, 329 reverse circulation and core holes have been drilled on the property for a total of 91,000 feet, with holes ranging from 80 feet to 1,050 feet in depth. In addition, 40 test trenches with a total length of 17,000 feet have taken place. DGRI’s predecessors, Magma Gold, Inc. (Mr. Perttu’s private company), Chevron Resources, and Cyprus Exploration have performed the work at various stages in the project. In addition to the drilling, there have been two geophysical surveys, soil geochemistry surveys, topographic surveys, geologic mapping projects, and a wide variety of permitting-related studies carried out on the property. The permitting-related studies included archaeological, soils, water, plants and animals, and even a year-long operating weather station.

Two targets, termed Block A and Block B, have been blocked out by drilling to a certain extent on the property. These two blocks have been explored with 82 drill holes and some 25,546 feet of drilling. In addition, assay samples of every 5-foot interval were taken, for a total of just over 4,700 samples analyzed. Block A and Block B are both located on the edges of the major diatreme complex at the head of Basin Gulch. The mineralization itself is fairly simple, with the gold being fine to very coarse in nature, and easily extracted using cyanidation, and possibly other recovery methods. Test work done for MGI indicates a recovery rate of over 90% with a simple cross-current mill. The historic testing was conducted with the intent of an open-pit mine. By current Montana law, cyanide cannot be used in a heap leach open-pit gold mine, and DGRI has no intent to pursue open-pit mining on the property.

A previous investigation and evaluation requested by MGI for the site using the GEMCON computer program yielded a volume of 129,000,000 tons of rock grading 0.019 ounce per ton for the entire areas A and B site. However, this data base was used for David Brown Associate’s (DBA) gold volume calculation made of Block A and Block B. The evaluation did not include several other areas of gold mineralization identified by surface sampling, trenching and drilling.

In 2009, DBA was again commissioned to prepare a third party report. The updating was required due to the new involvement of DGRI and the discovery of the results from a 1996 GEMCOM ore volume and grade study during a search of project records. The results of this work yield a combined volume of 107,845,000 tons of mineralized material with gold and gold-equivalent silver an average grade of 0.026 opt, or 633,333,330 tons with an average grade of 0.012 opt. Cutoff grade was 0.005 opt Au. As with the 2005 document, the ore body is open in all five directions, including downward.

2012 Evaluations

The Basin Gulch property was locally extensively drilled as a potential large, low-grade open-pit mine, but is being revaluated for its localized high-grade deposits. During the first half of 2012 DGRI plans to focus on selected areas where earlier drilling intersected high-grade mineralization at shallow levels. DGRI has selected the first three of these areas for new drilling. Much of this new drilling will be in the form of “in-fill” drilling to better understand the geometry and continuity of already identified high-grade zones. The goal of this planned new drilling will be to reach a confidence level that will allow the development of an early small shallow test mine.

Untested diatreme target

This property is also believed to have strong potential for deeper high-grade mineralization within the “boiling zone” of the diatreme complex. As discussed above, the gold and silver mineralization at Basin Gulch is associated with a large volcanic nested diatreme complex, which is an oval-shaped area 2,700 feet wide and 3,300 long. The gold and silver mineralization extends outward from the diatreme complex for more than a mile. This complex was formed by an overlapping series of violent volcanic degassing eruptions. Each individual eruption was generally pipe-shaped, and 600 to 800 feet across. Such diatremes host some of the world’s large ore bodies.

Some major Montana gold and silver systems are also associated with diatremes. The diatreme complex at Basin Gulch is much larger and has not been drilled at depth.

DGRI plans to permit and begin to test the diatreme complex for a postulated “boiling zone” ore body during the second half of 2012. While there is no certainty of successfully finding such an ore body, DGRI is encouraged by the size and pervasiveness of the mineralization associated with the Basin Gulch diatreme complex. The Company is further encouraged that a slice of diatreme apparently brought up in a fault zone that cuts through, and many have been a control structure for the diatreme complex, contains strong mineralization that locally exceeds an ounce per ton of gold.

Two holes that drilled into the diatreme slice intersected high-grade mineralization. The first was a reverse circulation hole, BG94-5RC, which, for its entire 265 foot length, averaged 0.092 ounces per ton (opt) gold. With the addition of its silver content at a conversion ratio of 75/1, the overall average increased to 0.106 opt gold equivalent.

Within the hole were higher grade intervals:

0.214 opt gold equiv from 35 to 55 feet,

0.269 opt from 145 to 165, and

0.564 opt from 205 to 220.

The hole intercepted the diatreme material at an intermediate angle and was not true thickness. It angled out of the side wall of the diatreme slightly below 220 feet.

A 300-foot follow-up core hole that was stepped out 10 feet from 94-5RC averaged 0.099 gold equivalents over its entire length. Within the core hole, the interval from 136 feet to 201 feet (65 feet) averaged 0.308 opt gold equivalent. The core hole also passed out of the sidewall of the diatreme.

At Basin Gulch, the Company is planning a staged series of activities prior to any proposed development decision. The following steps are planned for the first Basin Gulch target area, a segment of the Basin Gulch fault adjacent to and north of the diatreme complex.

Once sufficient funds are raised, the Company intends to commence a series of angled in-fill holes across that segment of the Basin Gulch fault to determine continuity, grade, and geometry of the mineralization that was encountered by the holes previously drilled into the structure. The ultimate number and location of holes will be determined by the progressive results of the drilling.

When enough drill hole information has been completed, samples of the material to be mined will be sent to a laboratory such as Kappes, Cassiday and Associates or Dawson Metallurgical Laboratories for recovery testing. Both of these laboratories, among others, have already tested significant volumes of material from the property for recovery characteristics, with excellent results.

An engineering evaluation will be completed. Depending on favorable results in the steps above, appropriate studies will be completed to obtain the required permits from the State of Montana. Should a Small Miners Exclusion be determined as the best method of moving into test mining and/or development, these studies may be minimal, as long as the terms of a Small Miners Exclusion are followed. If this is the preferred option, the Company may initiate the studies to expand to a fully permitted underground operation. These steps have been discussed with State officials. A large number of studies were historically completed on the property under the supervision of Rauno Perttu. These included archaeological studies, threatened and endangered plants and animals reviews, water testing, an on-site weather station that operated for a year, soils studies, and wetlands studies. No impediments to production were historically found, however, the studies that would apply to a new underground mine would have to be updated.

The Company intends to finance the exploration and development projects by raising capital in both the debt and equity markets, and there is no assurance that such funding initiatives will be successful.

Most of the historic assaying at Basin Gulch was completed by Mount Powell Laboratories out of nearby Deer Lodge Montana. Wayne Olmstead, who taught assaying procedures at nearby Montana Tech in Butte, MT, ran the lab. While he ran frequent check assays, we also crosschecked numerous pulps with several other bigger labs. Companies such as Echo Bay and Kinross also re-assayed our pulps, and took their own samples. All the checks were within margins of normal variability. The reverse circulation samples were split using a splitter and bagged on site. They were loaded and trucked daily to a pickup point for Mount Powell, who then hauled them daily to the laboratory.

The entire footage of all the Basin Gulch drill holes was divided into five-foot sample intervals and the entire drill footage was assayed.

Core drilling was begun by an experienced licensed mining engineer, Bill Hansen, who will supervise sawing of the core into two halves using his employee and a Company-owned saw. The core has divided into five-foot samples where there is no obvious formation/mineralization boundary. Samples were stopped at obvious geological breaks. Each five-foot or less interval will be prepared and assayed by ALS Chemex. Because of coarse gold at Basin Gulch, select intervals of the pulp will be additionally bulk-tested for coarse gold. While the 2011 program was cut short, the Company believes that the results of the program, when combined with the planned 2012 bulk sampling will confirm the previous coarse gold.

All normal procedures to protect and preserve the samples will be taken. Mr. Perttu and Mr. Hansen have a combined 70 years, plus experience in these procedures. The Company uses industry established “Best Practices” in its Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) protocol. These procedures govern our sample collection and preparation, assay controls, sample custody, assay precision and accuracy procedures and protocols.

Montana DEQ has primacy at the Basin Gulch project. In addition, the drilling at Basin Gulch is on private land. Because a segment of the access road crossed Forest Service land, we needed a snow removal permit from the Forest Service, which has been obtained. A bond was placed and the Montana DEQ granted a permit before work started. Rauno Perttu, whose career as an economic geologist has spanned some forty years, supervises all of the work on this project. A copy of Mr. Perttu’s CV is available at www.DutchGold.com. Mr. Bill Hansen, a mining engineer with some thirty years of experience. Mr. Hansen has extensive experience on the property being drilled by his firm at Basin Gulch.

Permitting Status:

The Company had received a drilling permit in February of 2011 and has posted the requisite bond. New exploration permits were applied for by DGRI and the previous extensive permitting process in the 1990s helped to streamline new permits. In addition, the previous studies were directed at an open-pit mine. Our new permitting will be directed at a low-impact underground mine, after sufficient high-grade material is blocked out to justify new studies and applications.

In Montana, public and private lands are handled similarly in the permitting process. DGRI must apply for either a blanket exploration permit for Montana, or a specific permit for the Basin Gulch project. In either case, proposed drill sites and trenches must be located on a map, with a detailed description of how the preparation and reclamation of each site will be completed. The State will then have the choice of sending out an inspector to review the proposed plan. The State will subsequently calculate the reclamation bond amount for the work proposed, based on existing State standards. Upon DGRI posting the bond, the Company may then proceed with the exploration work.

During work in the 1990s, none of the proposed exploration follow-up sites had any deleterious aspects that needed mitigating, so no significant obstacles to exploration are anticipated. Regarding anticipated test mining, this work can be conducted under Small Miner’s Exclusion (SME) provisions of the Montana permitting process. The SME process is much faster and simpler than the permitting process for larger mines in Montana, and can be completed within weeks of filing of an application. This property contains a large, open-ended gold and silver resource, select parts of which DGRI believes may be economically mineable under relatively rapid small mine regulations, with a very minimal footprint.

2011 Program Result

During the first quarter of 2011, Dutch drilled a 266-foot geological exploration hole in an area with no rock exposures approximately 2,000 feet from the edge of the defined mineralized area, to confirm the location of a known fault. The fault is believed to be important to controlling gold mineralization, and where intersected, by previous drilling at other locations, was always strongly mineralized. The hole did not reach the target fault, which appears to be further north than originally estimated.

During the second quarter, Dutch refocused its drilling to infill an area with known coarse gold, which appears to have been the source of much of the placer gold that was historically mined along the Basin Gulch drainage. This area is within one of the individual diatremes in the nested diatreme complex. Four shallow holes angled from two locations were completed. Ten more core holes from five additional locations are planned.

The historical holes that were drilled at the location during the 1990’s showed areas of consistently strong coarse gold, which weren’t identified until bulk testing of the drill cuttings was conducted. These historically defined areas of consistent coarse gold appear to follow predictable zones or structures.

Three of the four holes that were completed appeared to be confined within the diatreme vent, and above the boiling zone. The first two of these holes showed persistent low-grade gold and silver mineralization. The third of these holes averaged better than an ounce per ton silver, with low-grade gold mineralization from the surface to 82 feet, and again from 127 feet to the bottom of the hole at 150 feet. Dutch considers this continuous mineralization to be very encouraging for future drilling deeper into the boiling zone. Until bulk sampling of these holes is completed, the possibility remains that, as with the historic drill holes in the area, bulk testing may demonstrate potentially economic zones of coarse gold.

The fourth hole BG11-4C was drilled to a total depth of 203 feet. The hole was sited to pass through the side wall of one of the diatreme vents in the nested diatreme complex at an intercept angle of 60 degrees. The assay results are considered preliminary because bulk testing of BG11-4C remains to be completed.

The drill hole assayed consistent background values of a half ounce silver per ton, with persistent gold values of 0.0x per ton. The interval from 73 feet to 78 feet assayed 0.1 opt gold and 0.5 opt silver. The interval from 88 feet to 143 feet contained consistently stronger silver values, up to three ounces per ton. Re-assays of the zone at 150 feet showed 0.2 opt gold and 7 opt silver. The difference in the assays strongly suggests a nugget effect. The measurable gold and silver values persisted to the bottom of the hole. A nearby historic drill hole, BG97-24RC, contained 0.0x opt gold throughout its 400 foot length. Subsequent bulk testing of the historic hole’s drill cuttings discovered 0.15 opt gold from the surface to 10 feet, underlain by 0.378 opt gold from 10 to 20 feet, and 0.215 opt gold from 110 to 120 feet.

Dutch Gold believes that bulk testing of the BG11-4C core is likely to show similar zones of coarse gold concentration, because of its proximity to BG97-24RC, and because of the variation in gold content of paired assays in BG11-4C. The Company is intrigued to see the strong silver values over a broad cross-section of the vent wall. Dutch Gold believes, based on this hole and some historic holes, that the walls of this particular vent are silver-enriched and looks forward to getting bulk assay results from holes already drilled and from planned holes sited further into this vent. The majority of holes drilled into this vent had local high-grade intercepts, to over an ounce per ton.

Gold Bug Project

The following maps illustrate the general location of the Gold Bug Project in Oregon:

The Gold Bug mine is located in Josephine County, Oregon. The Gold Bug mine is on Whiskey creek in T. 33 S., R. 8 W. near Mount Reuben at elevations of 2400 to 2600 feet as measured by aneroid barometer. The old main adit is now completely blocked by fallen timbers at about 350 feet from the portal. The vein contained gold-bearing quartz with some pyrite and chalcopyrite. The vein was only 1 to 2 feet wide where seen, but even this was stoped out, and thicker vein quartz was reported farther in. The country rock of the old main adit is an andesite containing phenocrysts of plagioclase feldspar in a matrix of plagioclase, green biotite, isotropic chloritic material, and a little magnetite and epidote. The illustration is a copy of an old mine map showing a plan and a vertical section of the old workings.

The geology of Oregon gold locations in the southwestern part of the state is complex and not fully understood, being closely associated with plate tectonics and crustal subduction. Numerous gold-quartz veins can be found in greenstone of the Triassic age (248 – 208 million years ago), which trends in belts from the southwest to the northwest parts of Josephine County. Black slate, peridotite, and serpentine of Jurassic age sometimes contain gold-quartz veins and tend to parallel the greenstone belts. Granite, diorite, and gabbro intrusive bodies can be found in many parts of the county, but are generally devoid of mineralization except where they are in contact with older rocks.

The Gold Bug Mine produced 37,500 ounces. The production occurred primarily in the period between 1913 and 1942.

Dutch Mining, LLC owns the property in fee simple title. The project is accessible by county roads and BLM roads crisscross Mt. Rueben. There is little additional infrastructure. The Company has no plans to develop this property in the near future.

The Company owns certain idle, milling equipment at the Rendata Industrial Park in Grants Pass, Oregon. The equipment may be put back into operation with minimal capital expenditure.

Not required for smaller reporting companies.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Plan of Operation and Results of Operations.

The following discussion is intended to assist in the understanding and assessment of significant changes and trends related to our results of operations and our financial condition together with our consolidated subsidiaries. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Historical results and percentage relationships set forth in the statement of operations, including trends which might appear, are not necessarily indicative of future operations.

OVERVIEW

Dutch Gold Resources, Inc. is engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of gold mining projects in the Americas. The Company is focused on developing its existing mining properties in North America, and acquiring and developing new mines with the expectation that the properties can enter production within 12 to 24 months. The Company has mining assets in the states of Nevada, Montana and Oregon.

Our strategic objective is to enhance shareholder value through the exploration, acquisition and development of gold. We generally act as a sole proprietor but may enter joint agreements with other companies in an effort to achieve our stated operating objectives. The Company’s mission is to become a recognized gold producer within two – three years. A key to this plan is the acquisition of late - stage exploration and development projects that can be quickly advanced to production.

GOING CONCERN

In connection with their audit report on our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2011, Hancock Askew & Co., LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern because such continuance is dependent upon our ability to generate revenues and raise capital.

We have explored, and continue to explore, all avenues possible to raise the funds required. We have no revenue-producing activity. We also need capital to fund overhead and administrative costs as well as transaction expenses. At December 31, 2011, accounts payable to vendors totaled $1,091,709. At December 31, 2011, our cash requirement was approximately $75,000 per month. We have met our operating costs to date through the equity and debt financing from our shareholders and other investors; however, there can be no assurance that our shareholders and other investors will be able or willing to make additional investments in the future to fund continued operations. In addition, as of December 31, 2011, the Company does not have the authorized shares available for issuance in order to satisfy the conversion features related to its financial instruments or equity awards granted.

The Company requires further funding to continue to develop its mines and fund corporate overhead. Although we believe that there is a reasonable basis that we will successfully raise the needed funds, we cannot provide assurance that sufficient capital to sustain operations can be met. Moreover, the Company cannot provide assurance that it will maintain a level of profitability sufficient to meet operating expenses and corporate overhead.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period, as well as the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. The use of estimates, judgments, and assumptions creates a level of uncertainty with respect to reported or disclosed amounts in our consolidated financial statements or accompanying notes. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates, judgments, and assumptions, including those that management considers critical to the accurate presentation and disclosure of our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Management bases its estimates, judgments, and assumptions on historical experience, current trends, and various other factors that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Because of the inherent uncertainty in using estimates, judgments, and assumptions, actual results may differ from these estimates.

Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. We believe the following assumptions and estimates are the most critical to understanding and evaluating our reported financial results.

Management has reviewed these critical accounting estimates and related disclosures with our Board of Directors.

Mineral Properties, Mineral Claim Payments and Exploration Expenses

The Company expenses all costs related to the acquisition, maintenance and exploration of the unproven mineral properties to which it has secured exploration rights. If and when proven and probable reserves are determined for a property and a feasibility study is completed, then subsequent development costs of the property are capitalized. Once capitalized, such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserves. To date, excluding the mineral properties acquired in the Aultra Gold, Inc. asset acquisition, the Company has not established the commercial feasibility of its exploration prospects, therefore all costs have been expensed.

The Company assesses the carrying costs for impairment under ASC 930 Extractive Activities – Mining (ASC 930) annually. An impairment is recognized when the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the mineral property. Impairment losses, if any, are measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the mineral property over its estimated fair value. If mineral properties are subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs will be charged to operations. If a change were to occur in any of the above-mentioned factors or estimates as it relates to capitalized assets, the likelihood of a material change in our reported results may occur.

Convertible Instruments

The Company reviews the terms of convertible debt and equity instruments to determine whether there are conversion features or embedded derivative instruments including embedded conversion options that are required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as a derivative financial instrument. In circumstances where the convertible instrument contains more than one embedded derivative instrument, including conversion options that are required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single compound instrument. Also, in connection with the sale of convertible debt and equity instruments, the Company may issue free standing warrants that may, depending on their terms, be accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities, rather than as equity. In addition, certain conversion features are recognized as beneficial conversion features to the extent the conversion price as defined in the convertible note is less than the closing stock price on the issuance of the convertible notes. A change the market price of our common stock would result in a change in the number of shares that would be issued based on the conversion features of the related convertible notes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We currently have limited sources of capital, including the public and private placement of equity securities and the possibility of debt. With limited liquid assets and fully depreciated fixed assets, the availability of funds from traditional sources of debt will be limited, and we cannot provide assurance that these sources of funds will be available in the future. The Company will take sufficient action to raise additional debt and or equity as the markets will allow. In addition, as of December 31, 2011, the Company does not have the authorized shares available for issuance in order to satisfy the conversion features related to its financial instruments or equity awards granted.

As of December 31, 2011, the Company had a cash balance of $628. We estimate that, based upon our current business, we will require cash resources of up to $3,000,000 over the next two years. Although not certain or guaranteed, the Company believes that it has access to sufficient funding through fiscal 2012.

Cash Flow

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2011, net cash used by operating activities approximated $1.7 million resulting primarily from continued operating losses. For the twelve month period ended December 31, 2011, cash provided by investing activities totaled $0.2 million which primarily consisted of $0.1 million in cash used to purchase shares under a subscription agreement offset by $0.4 million in cash proceeds resulting from the sale of securities. Financing activities provided for the period were $1.4 million and consisted mainly of proceeds received from notes payable of $0.6 million and the issuance of convertible notes payable of $0.5 million along with proceeds received from convertible preferred stock of $0.3 million. We expect to continue to have operating cash flow deficiencies for the near term.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2011 COMPARED WITH THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2010

The operating loss for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 was $2,679,597, compared to an operating loss of $3,107,501 for the year ended December 31, 2010, representing an improvement of $427,904. A substantial portion of the improvement is related to a reduction in professional fees by $1,288,152 for 2011. A large portion of the 2010 professional fees were related to stock issued to financial consultants in connection with assisting the Company in raising funds and pursuing possible acquisitions. In 2011, as the Company still incurred related expenditures, management was able to rely less on outside consultants and raise additional funds internally through previously established relationships.

Interest expense and financing costs for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 were $1,480,089 as compared to $646,262 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $833,827. An increase in interest expense in 2011 results from interest recorded on a large number of convertible notes that were issued in late 2010 and during 2011. The accretion of the related debt discount and amortization of the related deferred financing costs incurred in obtaining these convertible notes has resulted in an increase in interest expense reported in 2011. In addition, an increase in interest expense was recorded in 2011 related to forbearance agreements executed with two noteholders in 2011.

The net loss for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 was $4,581,152 as compared to $3,698,293, for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2010, representing an increased loss of $882,859. Net loss increased for the year resulting from an increase in selling, general and administrative expenditures along with an increase in interest expense incurred resulting from the convertible notes issuances as discussed above. The increase in selling, general and administrative expense for 2011 primarily results from the following: general and administrative expense recorded in 2011 pertaining to an increase in convertible preferred stock issuances in 2011 for services performed with a higher aggregate fair value compared to similar issuances in 2010; options granted in 2011 with no comparable option grants in 2010; and an increase in other general and administrative related expenditures including but not limited to expenditures incurred related to current exploration activities. In addition, the Company incurred losses in the amount of $846,128 for the year ended December 31, 2011 related to the realized loss on the sale of securities. Similar transactions did not occur for the comparable period in fiscal 2010.

The Company continues to actively review its exploration targets in proximity to its existing mines. The Company is also focused on new opportunities and on the ground purchases elsewhere in the Americas. The Company is largely focused on developing its future based on its exploration successes and organic growth. Certain key factors, which have not had an impact on past operations, may affect our future operating results. These include, but are not limited to, the following:

a) Unusual fluctuations in gold prices.

b) The Company may experience increased energy, labor and contracted services costs.

c) Variations of future production volumes.

d) The Sales per ounce of gold and other minerals may be affected by variations in the price of gold, variations in mine planning, sequencing, ore grades and hardness, metal recoveries, waste removal, commodity prices and foreign currency exchange rates.

e) Operating cash flow may become insufficient to meet the funding requirements of the Company.

f) Our ability to raise significant new sources of capital will be a function of macroeconomic conditions, future gold prices and our operational performance, among other factors.

g) In the event of lower gold prices, unanticipated operating or financial challenges, or new funding limitations, our ability to pursue new business opportunities, invest in existing and new projects or fund our ongoing business will be impacted.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company was not involved in any significant off-balance sheet arrangement during the period ended December 31, 2011.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Board of Directors

Dutch Gold Resources, Inc.

Atlanta, Georgia

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Dutch Gold Resources, Inc. as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2011. These financial statements are the responsibility of the management of Dutch Gold Resources, Inc. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Dutch Gold Resources, Inc. as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2011, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that Dutch Gold Resources, Inc. will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has limited liquidity and has incurred recurring losses from operations and other conditions exist which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 16. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

DUTCH GOLD RESOURCES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1—NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Dutch Gold Resources, Inc. is engaged in the acquisition and exploration of gold mining and other mineral related projects. The Company is focused on developing its existing mining properties in North America and acquiring and developing new mines with the expectation that the properties can enter production within 12 to 24 months. The Company operates in one reporting segment.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

We generally act as a sole proprietor, but may enter joint agreements with other companies in an effort to achieve our stated operating objectives. Our Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and include our accounts and our wholly-owned subsidiaries’ accounts (collectively, the “Company”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain amounts in prior year presentations have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

USE OF ESTIMATES AND PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash equivalents comprise certain highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased. At the reporting dates, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and funds invested in money market accounts.

INVESTMENTS

The Company measures its investments based on a fair value hierarchy disclosure framework that prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring assets and liabilities at fair value. Market price observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of asset or liability and their characteristics. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows:

•

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments.

•

Level 2—Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.

•

Level 3—Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

The Company categorizes its investments as either trading, available for sale, or held to maturity. The Company does not hold any securities that we believe would be considered held to maturity. Prior to third quarter 2011, the Company’s investments were comprised of available-for-sale securities carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses, net of applicable income taxes, recorded within accumulated other comprehensive income. Commencing on September 30, 2011, as discussed in Note 3, these investments which consist of Shamika 2 Gold common stock, were reclassified as trading securities with any unrealized gains and losses recorded in earnings. The Company reviews its investments quarterly for declines in market value that are other than temporary in addition to re-evaluating the investment classification. No investments were deemed permanently impaired at December 31, 2011.

DUTCH GOLD RESOURCES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, investments, accounts payable, notes payables, loans from shareholders and accrued expenses. The Company considers the carrying values of its financial instruments in the financial statements to approximate their fair value due to the short term nature of such items. The fair values of the Company's debt instruments are calculated based on debt with similar maturities, credit quality and current market rates of interest. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant risks arising from these financial instruments.

CONCENTRATIONS

Financial instruments, which could potentially subject the Company to credit risk, consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and investments. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company’s account balances, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced material losses in such accounts, and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk with respect to its cash accounts.

The Company’s operations are all related to the minerals and mining industry. A reduction in mineral prices or other disturbances in the minerals market could have an adverse effect on the Company’s operations once production commences.

MINERAL PROPERTIES, MINERAL CLAIM PAYMENTS AND EXPLORATION EXPENSES

The Company expenses all costs related to the acquisition, maintenance and exploration of the unproven mineral properties to which it has secured exploration rights. If and when the Company has demonstrated that the mineralization can be profitability mined, then subsequent development costs of the property will be capitalized. Once capitalized, such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable mineralization. To date, the Company has not established the commercial feasibility of its exploration prospects, therefore all costs have been expensed. The costs related to acquisition, maintenance and exploration were not material for the years presented.

The Company assesses the carrying costs for impairment under ASC 930 Extractive Activities – Mining (AS 930) annually. An impairment is recognized when the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the mineral property. Impairment losses, if any, are measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the mineral property over its estimated fair value. If mineral properties are subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs will be charged to operations.

In accordance with the Aultra Gold Asset Purchase Agreement as documented in Note 2, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets related to Aultra Gold’s gold and mineral business. Management determined that the value of the assets obtained primarily relate to the mineral rights associated with the property in Basin Gulch, Montana. Based on these findings, management estimated the value beyond estimated mineralization (VBEM) and the Company determined that the fair value of the total consideration paid of $2,581,155 resulting from the Asset Purchase Agreement should be allocated to the mineral rights acquired. The Company has recorded the acquired mineral rights fair value as Mineral properties on the consolidated balance sheets as a separate component of property, plant and equipment. The Company performed an impairment analysis of this mineral property recorded value as of December 31, 2011 and noted no impairment.

DUTCH GOLD RESOURCES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

PROPERTY PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is recorded on the straight-line basis over estimated useful lives that range from three to five years, but do not exceed the useful life of the individual asset. Normal maintenance and repairs are charged to operations while expenditures for major maintenance and improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired or sold, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any gain or loss arising from such disposition is included in the consolidated statement of activities.

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

Management reviews and evaluates the net carrying value of all facilities, including idle facilities, for impairment at least annually, or upon the occurrence of other events or changes in circumstances that indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. We estimate the net realizable value of each property based on the estimated undiscounted future cash flows that will be generated from operations at each property, the estimated salvage value of the surface plant and equipment and the value associated with property interests. All assets of an operating segment are evaluated together for purposes of estimating future cash flows.

Although management has made a reasonable estimate of factors based on current conditions and information, assumptions underlying future cash flows are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. Estimates of undiscounted future cash flows are dependent upon estimates of metals to be recovered from ore mineralization, and to some extent, identified resources beyond initial mineralization, future production and capital costs and estimated metals prices (considering current and historical prices, forward pricing curves and related factors) over the estimated remaining mine life. It is reasonably possible that changes could occur in the near term that could adversely affect our estimate of future cash flows to be generated from our operating properties. If undiscounted cash flows including an asset’s fair value are less than the carrying value of a property, an impairment loss is recognized. The Company’s fixed assets as recorded on the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2011, are fully depreciated.

ENVIRONMENTAL COSTS

Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations are charged to operations or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations, and which do not contribute to current or future revenue generation, are charged to operations. Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable, and the cost can be reasonably estimated. Generally, the timing of these accruals coincides with the earlier of completion of a feasibility study or the Company’s commitments to plan of action based on the then known facts. Management has determined that recording a liability pertaining to environmental expenditures as of December 31, 2011 is not needed.

ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS

The Company follows ASC 410-20, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated retirement costs. The standard applies to legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and normal use of the asset.

ASC 410-20 requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The fair value of the liability is added to the carrying amount of the associated asset and this additional carrying amount is depreciated over the life of the asset. The liability is accreted at the end of each period through charges to operating expense. If the obligation is settled for other than the carrying amount of the liability, the Company will recognize a gain or loss on settlement. The Company has no mining projects in production as of December 31, 2011, and the asset retirement obligations are usually created as part of the production process. Accordingly, at December 31, 2011, the Company had no asset retirement obligations.

DUTCH GOLD RESOURCES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

CONVERTIBLE INSTRUMENTS

The Company reviews the terms of convertible debt and equity instruments to determine whether there are conversion features or embedded derivative instruments including embedded conversion options that are required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as a derivative financial instrument. In circumstances where the convertible instrument contains more than one embedded derivative instrument, including conversion options that are required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single compound instrument. Also, in connection with the sale of convertible debt and equity instruments, the Company may issue free standing warrants that may, depending on their terms, be accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities, rather than as equity. When convertible debt or equity instruments contain embedded derivative instruments that are to be bifurcated and accounted for separately, the total proceeds allocated to the convertible host instruments are first allocated to the fair value of the bifurcated derivative instrument. The remaining proceeds, if any, are then allocated to the convertible instruments themselves, usually resulting in those instruments being recorded at a discount from their face amount. When the Company issues debt securities, which bear interest at rates that are lower than market rates, the Company recognizes a discount, which is offset against the carrying value of the debt. Such discount from the face value of the debt, together with the stated interest on the instrument, is amortized over the life of the instrument through periodic charges to income.

In addition, certain conversion features are recognized as beneficial conversion features to the extent the conversion price as defined in the convertible note is less than the closing stock price on the issuance of the convertible notes.

INCOME TAX

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740, Income Taxes. Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. ASC 740 also requires that uncertain tax positions are evaluated in a two-step process, whereby (1) it is determined whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained based on the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority would be recognized.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

We plan to recognize revenue from the sale of product when an agreement of sale exists, product delivery has occurred, title has transferred to the customer and collection is reasonably assured. The price to be received is based upon terms of a sales contract. The Company has not generated revenue activity for the periods presented in the consolidated financial statements.

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

The Company values equity awards in accordance with ASC 718, Stock Compensation, which requires the Company to measure the compensation cost of stock options and other stock-based awards to employees and directors at fair value at the grant date and recognize compensation expense over the requisite service period for awards expected to vest. The Company has historically issued stock for payment of certain professional fees and these stock issuances are expensed based on the market value of the stock on the date granted. The Company expenses these professional fees at the time of stock issuance as the stock issuance date approximates the date the services are performed.

PER SHARE DATA

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus common stock equivalents (if dilutive) related to warrants, options, convertible notes and convertible preferred stock.

The Company has excluded all common equivalent shares outstanding for warrants, options, convertible notes and convertible preferred stock to purchase common stock from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because all such securities are antidilutive for the periods presented. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had 23,302,500 warrants, 4,000,000 options, 1,214,830,512 and 6,525,000 potential shares which may be issued resulting from the provisions of convertible notes and convertible preferred stock, respectively. As of December 31, 2010, 11,635,833 warrants, 75,454,246 potential shares which may be issued resulting from the provisions of convertible notes and 2,000,000 in convertible preferred stock to purchase common stock were outstanding to purchase common stock.

DUTCH GOLD RESOURCES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2011, the FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update (which was subsequently updated in December 2011) on the presentation of comprehensive income. This guidance requires the presentation of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. This guidance also requires presentation of adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income in the statement where the components of other comprehensive income are presented or in the notes to the financial statements. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011; however, early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its financial statements.

In May 2011, the FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update on fair value measurements that clarifies the application of existing guidance and disclosure requirements, changes certain fair value measurement principles, and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its financial statements.

NOTE 2 – ACQUISITION AND DISPOSITION OF AULTRA GOLD

Stock Purchase Agreement – Aultra Gold

Pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement by and among the Company, Rauno Perttu, Strategic Minerals Inc., a Nevada corporation, and Aultra Gold Capital Inc., a Turks and Caicos corporation, the Company acquired a 67% controlling interest of Aultra Gold, Inc. (“Aultra” or “Aultra Gold”) by acquiring 6,442,500 of Aultra’s existing common shares for a purchase price of one million newly-issued shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share. The transaction closed on January 6, 2010. The total value of the one million shares issued based on the Dutch Gold Resources, Inc. common share closing price of $0.135 per share was $135,000.

In addition, in accordance with the Stock Purchase Agreement in 2010, the Company forgave $269,919 in advances that the Company previously made to Aultra Gold. As the forgiveness of the advances occurred resulting from the execution of the Stock Purchase Agreement, management determined that the amount forgiven should be included in the overall value of the controlling interest acquired; therefore, the Company determined that the fair value of the Aultra controlling interest was $404,919.

Asset Purchase Agreement – Aultra Gold

On January 6, 2010, Dutch Gold Resources, Inc. entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with DGRI ADGI Acquisition Corporation (the “Purchaser” and a Dutch Gold Resources, Inc. wholly owned subsidiary) and Aultra Gold, Inc. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company acquired all of Aultra Gold’s assets, which primarily consisted of the mining rights to a project in Montana and a project in Nevada. As consideration for these assets, the Company issued 9,614,667 shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share, to Aultra Gold for a total value of $1,297,980 based on the $0.135 per share market price of Dutch Gold’s common stock. In addition, in connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company issued a Dutch Gold Resources, Inc. executive and an Aultra Gold executive collectively 9,505,000 Dutch Gold common shares for a total value of $1,283,175 based on the $0.135 per share market price of Dutch Gold’s common stock. The purpose for issuing these shares was to incentivize these executives that were instrumental in the transaction and to ensure that these key executives would continue to be involved with the acquired projects. The Company does not believe the substance of the issuance of shares to the executives was to provide compensation for these executives and therefore have accounted for the consideration in accordance with the acquisition method. Based on these transactions, the Company determined that the consideration paid resulting from the Asset Purchase Agreement was $2,581,155 and has accounted for the transaction using the acquisition method of accounting with the purchase price assigned to the net assets acquired based on the fair value of such assets at the date of acquisition.

In accordance with the transaction, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets related to Aultra Gold’s gold and mineral business. Management determined that the value of the assets obtained primarily relate to the mineral rights associated with the property in Basin Gulch, Montana. Dutch Gold was granted an assignment of the Basin Gulch Mine lease between Aultra Gold and Strategic Minerals as a result of the acquisition.

DUTCH GOLD RESOURCES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 2 – ACQUISITION AND DISPOSITION OF AULTRA GOLD (CONTINUED)

In order to determine fair value the mineral rights acquired, management utilized a compilation and review report prepared by a third-party which documented the estimated mineralization related to the Basin Gulch Mine property. Based on these findings, management estimated the value beyond estimated mineralization (VBEM) and the Company determined that the fair value of the total consideration paid of $2,581,155 resulting from the Asset Purchase Agreement should be allocated to the mineral rights acquired. The Company has recorded the acquired mineral rights fair value as Mineral properties on the consolidated balance sheets as a separate component of property, plant and equipment. As the mineral rights represent a tangible asset, the assigned fair value should be amortized over the useful life of the mineral right based on the units of production method. Management will begin the amortization of the asset once development of the site commences in accordance with the units of production method.

Summary of Stock Purchase Agreement and Asset Purchase Agreement – Aultra Gold

As a result of the Stock Purchase Agreement and Asset Purchase Agreement dated January 6, 2010, Dutch Gold Resources, Inc. owned 67% of the common shares of publicly traded Aultra and the assets of Aultra Gold which primarily related to mineral rights. Subsequent to these transactions, Aultra was basically a public shell consisting of liabilities that were not assumed by the Company and a deficit.

Aultra Gold is engaged in the business of acquiring and exploring gold and mineral properties, with the objective of identifying gold and mineralized deposits economically worthy of continued production and/or subsequent development, mining or sale.

Dutch Gold pursued the transactions with Aultra as the Company’s mission is to become a recognized gold producer within two years with a key to this objective being the acquisition of late stage exploration projects that can be quickly advanced to production. Based on the assets that Aultra controlled, specifically the rights to the Basin Gulch Mine property, the Company determined that the acquisition met its strategic objectives and management believed that it had the financial resources to produce and realize the mineral rights related to the property.

Except as noted in the preceding paragraphs and as disclosed in the Stock Purchase Agreement and Asset Purchase Agreement, there were no material relationships among the Company and Aultra or any of their respective affiliates. It is the policy of the Company to segregate each of its mining projects into separate, wholly owned special purpose vehicles, for the purposes of risk mitigation and financing. The acquisition of the controlling interest in Aultra Gold was made as an investment to be held either for a spin-off or other value creation event. The Asset Purchase Agreement was executed as the Company believes that it has the resources to develop the mineral rights related to the projects acquired.

Shamika Transaction

On March 26, 2010, Aultra Gold, Inc., which had been a 67% owned subsidiary of Dutch Gold since the January 6th transactions discussed previously, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Share Exchange with Shamika 2 Gold Inc., a Nevada Corporation (“Shamika”). In general terms, Aultra was a public shell with limited assets and Shamika was a private company that acquired the Aultra public shell in a reverse acquisition allowing Shamika, after the transaction, to be a registrant.

Pursuant to the agreement, Aultra acquired all of the outstanding shares (the “Shamika Shares”) from the Shamika Holders in exchange for an aggregate of 25,500,000 newly issues shares of Aultra’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Exchange”). As a result of the acquisition and other concurrent transactions in Aultra’s shares, Aultra Gold, Inc. (now publically traded as Shamika 2 Gold) had 50,000,000 million shares outstanding with 967,467 pertaining to the reversed Aultra shell. Accordingly, the Exchange represented a change in control.

For financial accounting purposes, the acquisition was a reverse acquisition of Aultra by Shamika, under the purchase method of accounting, and was treated as a recapitalization with Shamika as the acquirer. Upon consummation of the Exchange, Aultra adopted the business plan of Shamika.

The business purpose of this transaction was that Shamika wanted to be a publicly traded company in order to have access to the capital markets which would provide access to funding for mining development opportunities. As Aultra had no operations subsequent to the Asset Purchase agreement noted above, issuing shares that would result in Shamika having a controlling interest allowed Aultra (and Dutch Gold) to retain shares in a company that had the financial resources to pursue and develop new mining opportunities.

NOTE 2 – ACQUISITION AND DISPOSITION OF AULTRA GOLD (CONTINUED)

In connection with the Reverse Acquisition and on the same date, Shamika issued 23,546,067 shares of its common stock in order to satisfy certain liabilities in the amount of $301,512. As part of this transaction Dutch Gold Resources, Inc. was issued 4,950,000 shares (9.9%) of Shamika Gold Inc. The Company determined the fair value of the 4,950,000 common shares received as $1,237,500 which approximated the value of the shares on the first day that Shamika’s common shares were publicly traded. As a result of the reverse acquisition by Shamika, Dutch Gold retained the remaining Aultra liabilities not acquired of $616,154 which represents amounts owed to a former officer of Aultra (now a Dutch Gold executive), Rauno Perttu. Dutch Gold issued 10,000,000 shares to Rauno Perttu in July 2010 which reduced this liability by $200,000 ($200,000 represented the fair value of the shares on the date of issuance). Therefore, the Company has a remaining liability related to this obligation recorded in our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 within the Accounts payable-related parties account line.

At March 26, 2010, resulting from the Shamika transaction, the Aultra Board of Directors and Officers was reconstituted by the resignation of: Rauno Perttu from his role as President, Secretary and Director, Daniel Hollis from his role as Chief Executive Officer and Director, Lance Rosmarin from his role as Director, and the appointment of Robert Vivian as President and Chief Executive Officer and Terence Orstlan as Secretary and Director. The Company owns less than 5% of the issued and outstanding shares of Shamika as of September 30, 2011. Subsequent to the transaction date, Dutch Gold no longer has a controlling interest in Aultra nor does management have the ability to exercise significant influence over Shamika’s operating and financial policies. The Company has classified the fair value of its remaining investment in Shamika as an investment in trading securities commencing with our reporting period ending September 30, 2011. Refer to Note 3 for additional discussion on this investment.

Management viewed its initial controlling interest in Aultra as substantive during the period from January 6, 2010 through March 26, 2010 as the Company’s involvement and expertise was needed in order to execute an agreement with Shamika. In addition, during this interim period Aultra’s board of directors consisted of two directors from Dutch Gold. These directors were instrumental in the Shamika transaction.

Although the controlling interest was obtained on January 6, 2010 and subsequently sold on March 26, 2010, the Company did not consolidate the financial results of Aultra for this interim period as Aultra’s results were not material to the consolidated financial statements of the Company. In addition, pro-forma financials related to Aultra’s operations have not been provided as we deem this information not to be beneficial to our shareholders as Aultra’s operating activity was minimal and would not have a material effect on our operations.

We recorded our $404,169 investment in Aultra resulting from the Stock Purchase Agreement under the equity method. As stated above, we effectively sold Aultra through a reverse acquisition by Shamika on March 26, 2010. A gain on the disposition of the controlling interest of Aultra resulted from the sale to Shamika. Management determined that the gain recorded would be the difference in our initial fair value investment in Aultra ($404,169) less the $621,346 fair value of the consideration received from the Shamika transaction ($621,346 calculated as the fair value of the Shamika shares received of $1,237,500 less Aultra debt assumed of $616,154). Thus, the Company recorded in our statement of operations a $217,177 gain on sale of our Aultra investment for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Total investments available for sale at fair value	$	-	$	3,188,250

As disclosed in Note 2, resulting from the Shamika Gold transaction, in 2010 the Company acquired 4,950,000 shares of common stock of Shamika 2 Gold with an investment value of $1,237,500. Securities to be held for indefinite periods of time, but not necessarily to be held to maturity or on a long-term basis, are classified as available for sale and carried at fair value with unrealized gains or losses reported as a separate component of shareholders' deficit in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income in the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2010, the Company held 4,905,000 Shamika 2 Gold shares and recorded a fair value of $3,188,250 as investments available for sale in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets with $1,962,000 recorded as an unrealized gain in accumulated other comprehensive income. Through June 30, 2011, based on management’s intent of holding the majority of the shares in Shamika 2 Gold equity security, the investment was classified as a short term investment in available for sale securities.

During third quarter 2011, due to difficulties experienced in raising capital to fund operations and due to capital needed to pursue and develop current projects, along with the fact that the Shamika 2 Gold shares had continued to decrease in fair value over the period that the Company has held the shares, management made the decision to liquidate the majority of its investment in Shamika 2 Gold. 3,437,836 shares were liquidated during third quarter 2011 which resulted in cash proceeds of $147,508. In addition, during third quarter 2011 as discussed in Note 9, 600,000 shares of Shamika 2 Gold were transferred to certain noteholders for consideration to extend these noteholders forbearance rights to covert notes into shares of common stock. This disposition and transfer of shares resulted in a realized loss on the previously classified available for sale securities of $884,697 and as of December 31, 2011, all amounts previously recorded through accumulated other comprehensive income were realized ($1,962,000). During the third quarter of 2011, resulting from purchases made previously under subscription agreements as disclosed in Note 4, the Company also received 666,672 shares of Shamika 2 Gold and recorded the fair value of the investment of $9,333 as an investment in trading securities. As of December 31, 2011, the remaining shares of Shamika 2 Gold held had no value based on the trading value of Shamika 2 Gold’s common stock.

As of December 31, 2011, the Company has recorded $200,000 as an unrealized loss on trading securities in its consolidated statements of operations for the remaining Shamika 2 Gold shares held. In addition, for the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company has recorded a $846,128 realized loss on the sale of common stock and has received $413,744 in proceeds from the sale of the securities. The common stock of Shamika 2 Gold is quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol “SHMX” and is, therefore, considered a Level 1 investment in the fair value hierarchy.

The Company received 666,672 common shares in third quarter 2011 in satisfaction of this subscription as discussed in Note 3. As the shares pertaining to the $100,000 fiscal 2010 payment were not received as of December 31, 2010, the payment for these shares were recorded as an Other Current Asset on the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2010.

In March 2011, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note to Trellis Corporation in the amount of $41,000 as an advance to Trellis pertaining to their mining operations. The note bears an annual interest rate of 8% and is due upon demand. As payment has not been received pertaining to this note, the Company has fully reserved the note balance including accrued interest earned (total $43,624) as of December 31, 2011.

The $50,000 performance bond relates to the Company’s closed Benton Mine operation in Oregon. The funds will be released to the Company based on the completion of certain reclamation work.

There was $246,415 and $479,756 charged to operations for depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

With the acquisition of the Basin Gulch Project and the Jungo Project, we also acquired certain mining claims and permits in the transaction. These mineral rights as discussed in Note 2 were fair valued at $2,581,155 and are presented as Mineral Properties on the consolidated balance sheet. Since that time, we have not commenced any mining operations; therefore, we have not recorded any amortization expense related to any capitalized amounts. Costs of acquiring mining properties are capitalized upon acquisition. Mine development costs incurred either to develop new projects, to expand the capacity of mines, or to develop mine areas substantially in advance of current production are also capitalized once proven and probable reserves exist and the property is a commercially mineable property. Costs incurred to maintain current production or to maintain assets on a standby basis are charged to operations. Costs of abandoned projects are charged to operations upon abandonment. The Company evaluates the carrying value of capitalized mining costs and related property and equipment costs, to determine if these costs are in excess of the recoverable amount whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The Company performed an impairment analysis of its long-lived assets as of December 31, 2011 and noted no impairment.

The Internal Revenue Service has a Federal lien on the Company’s subsidiary Dutch Mining, LLC’s equipment, real property and leases in the amount of $505,114 as of December 31, 2011.

Less: unamortized debt discount		101,460		194,976
Net carrying value	$	843,460	$	582,084

The Company had convertible promissory notes outstanding at December 31, 2011 and 2010 in the amount of $589,920 and $577,060, respectively. These notes bear interest at rates ranging from 8% to 21% per annum and mature within the next twelve months. Under the convertibility terms of the convertible promissory notes, the principal, plus accrued interest can be converted immediately upon maturity, at the option of the holder, either in whole, or in part, into fully paid common shares of the Company.

The Company had convertible debentures outstanding at December 31, 2011 and 2010 in the amount of $355,000 and $200,000, respectively. The debentures bear interest at rates ranging from 8% to 12% per annum. Under the convertibility terms of the debenture, the principal, plus accrued interest can be converted immediately, at the option of the holder, either in whole, or in part, into fully paid common shares of the Company.

The convertible promissory notes and the convertible debenture contain a beneficial conversion feature which allows the holder of the note to convert the note into common shares of the Company at a price less than market. The Company has computed and recorded a $713,982 and $293,046 value at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, for the beneficial conversion feature pertaining to the convertible notes. This amount is recorded as a discount to the principal amount of the note and is amortized to interest expense utilizing the straight-line method over the term of the related note as the results are not materially different from those which would result from the interest method.

As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, $101,460 and $194,976, respectively, in unamortized discount remained associated with convertible notes outstanding. Deferred financing costs of $2,414 were incurred and capitalized as of December 31, 2011 related to obtaining the convertible notes executed in fiscal 2011. The deferred financing fees are amortized to interest expense over the term of the related convertible note agreement.

On April 8, 2011, the Company entered into a forbearance agreement with two convertible promissory noteholders which resulted in the issuance of 4,000,000 common shares and 2,500,000 in Series B Convertible Preferred stock. As a result of the forbearance agreement and the consideration provided by the Company to these noteholders, the noteholders agreed to defer their conversion rights for an additional 90 days pertaining to $195,810 in convertible notes payable. The common share issuance was valued at $48,800 based on the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of issuance. In addition, the Series B Convertible Preferred stock issuance was valued at $228,750 based on utilizing the market value (the price of the last reported trade) of the DGRI stock on the date of issue, application of a preference premium as well as factoring in a liquidity discount. These fair value amounts have been recorded as interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2011 in the consolidated statements of operations as the forbearance agreements provided, which resulted from the issuance of shares by the Company, extended the conversion term pertaining to the notes.

During third quarter 2011, the Company entered into an extension agreement with the two aforementioned convertible promissory noteholders whereby the Company transferred the rights of 600,000 shares of its Shamika 2 Gold shares to these noteholders which approximated a $10,000 fair value. As a result of this transaction, the noteholders extended the forbearance of their rights to convert the notes into shares of

common stock to fourth quarter 2011. These forbearance agreements were executed as the Company did not have sufficient shares of common stock to satisfy the conversion terms of the notes. As of December 31, 2011, the Company is discussing these convertible notes with the noteholders as there were not sufficient shares available to convert the notes into shares of common stock.

The Company had net operating loss carryforwards available to offset future taxable income approximating $28.8 million and $24.2 million as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Company has determined that realization of a deferred tax asset that has resulted from the net operating losses is not likely and therefore a full valuation allowance has been recorded against this deferred income tax asset. The deferred tax asset net operating loss recorded that is fully reserved by a valuation allowance approximates $10.9 million and $9.2 million as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The increase in the valuation allowance is a direct result of the operating loss reported for 2011. There are no other material deferred tax positions recorded by the Company.

We do not have an accrual for uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2011 and 2010. If interest and penalties were to be assessed, we would charge interest to Interest Expense, and penalties to Other Operating Expense.

There have been no Series A Convertible Preferred stock issuances in 2011.

On April 8, 2011, in addition to the 2,500,000 Series B Convertible Preferred share issuance discussed in Note 9, 1,000,000 in Series B Convertible Preferred shares were issued each to two executives in order to compensate these executives for their services.

A total of $183,000 was expensed for the year ended December 31, 2011 and is reflected within Selling, general and administrative expense in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations at December 31, 2011. The Series B Convertible Preferred stock provides the conversion right to common shares along with voting rights over common shareholders.

The fair value of the 12,500,000 warrants granted is recorded in the Company’s total warrants liability balance on the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2011.

NOTE 13—CAPITAL STOCK (CONTINUED)

Common Stock

As of December 31, 2011, the Company had 507,572,976 shares of its $0.001 par value common stock issued and outstanding. Common Stock has historically been issued to retire various debt and payable obligations of the Company based upon the actual balance and any accrued interest. The consideration for settlement amounts for payments from the Company’s common shares was arrived at by utilizing the market value (the price of the last reported trade) of the DGRI stock on the date of issue.

Warrants

As of December 31, 2011, the Company had the following warrants for the purchase of shares of common stock issued and outstanding:

				Weighted
				Average			Aggregate
				Exercise			Intrinsic
	Warrants Outstanding			Price			Value
Outstanding, December 31, 2010		11,635,833		$	0.48			-
Granted		15,000,000			0.02			-
Forfeited/Expired		(3,333,333	)		(0.50	)		-
Exercised		-			-			-
Outstanding, December 31, 2011		23,302,500		$	0.09		$	0

Share purchase warrants were issued in 2010 and 2011. These common share purchase warrants do not trade in an active securities market, and as such, we estimate the fair value of these warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model as of the issuance date. Some of the warrants provide that in the event the Company is unable to issue registered shares upon exercise, the warrant holders are entitled, under securities laws, to receive freely tradable shares pursuant to a "cashless exercise" provision. However, based on interpretation of ASC 815, there is a required presumption of net cash settlement.

Purchase warrants amounting to 15,000,000 shares with a weighted average price of $0.02 were issued during 2011. 12,500,000 of these warrants were issued at an exercise of $0.02 as noted above. An additional 2,500,000 warrants were issued to the Chief Financial Officer during third quarter 2011 at an exercise price of $0.0125 per share. The 15,000,000 warrants granted in 2011 were valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the following weighted average assumptions: 1.7% risk-free rate, 3 year expected life, 410% expected volatility and 0% dividend yield. These warrants resulted in a $152,703 fair value which is recorded in the consolidated statements of operations.

We determined that these warrants issued create a related liability due to the fact that some of the warrants could be settled for cash and also resulting from the fact that there may not be sufficient authorized common shares to cover the related warrant exercise commitments. The warrants have been recorded at their relative fair values at issuance and will continue to be remeasured at fair value each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in value between reporting periods is recorded as a Change in fair value of warrants in the consolidated statements of operations. The warrants are reported as a Warrant liability on the consolidated balance sheets rather than as equity.

As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the fair value of the warrants was determined to be $724,861 and $1,661,163, respectively. We recorded $624,662 for the year ended December 31, 2011 in gains in the consolidated statements of operations resulting from the revaluation of the warrant liability. 3,333,333 in warrants issued in 2009, expired in the period ended March 31, 2011, with $464,343 being reclassified from liabilities to stockholders' deficit in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The outstanding warrants as of December 31, 2011 have exercise prices ranging from $0.02 to $1.15 with expiration dates ranging from June 9, 2012 to December 9, 2014. The remaining weighted average contractual life of warrants outstanding as of December 31, 2011 is 2.2 years.

NOTE 14—STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

Effective April 1, 2011, the Board of Directors approved a 4,000,000 nonqualified stock option grant to Embassy International, LLC, a Florida limited liability company controlled by the family of the former Chairman of the Board, pursuant to the Company's Amended and Restated 2010 Stock Incentive Plan. The options granted were immediately vested and exercisable on the grant date, expire two years from the grant date, and were issued to compensate Embassy International, LLC for entering into previous lending arrangements which has allowed the Company to fund operations and to continue its development activities. The grant date fair value of these options was $52,017 with an exercise price of $0.005. The Company has recorded stock-based compensation expense of $52,017 within Selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations related to this option grant during the year ended December 31, 2011.

The Company estimated the fair value of its 2011 stock option grant to Embassy International, LLC utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the following assumptions:

Risk-free interest rate	0.8	%
Expected life	2.0 years
Expected volatility	355.0	%
Dividend yield	0.00	%

The risk-free interest rate is based on the zero-coupon U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. Expected volatilities are based on historical daily volatility of the Company’s stock. As the option was awarded to a nonemployee, the expected life is estimated as the contractual term of the option agreement.

NOTE 15—RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Accounts Payable-related parties

Daniel W. Hollis, CEO of Dutch Gold Resources, Inc. has advanced a total of $257,056 and $265,934 as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The cash was used for general corporate purposes by the Company.

Rauno Perttu, COO of Dutch Gold Resources, Inc. has a balance owing to him of $290,704 and $477,013 at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. In third quarter 2011, management discovered an accounting error from the prior period resulting in an over accrual of $100,000 in compensation due to Mr. Perttu.

This $100,000 error was corrected in third quarter 2011 and is reflected in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations for fiscal 2011 within selling, general and administrative expenses. As this error does not materially change the net loss or loss per share for the year ended December 31, 2011, management has not restated the prior year’s financial statements. In 2010, Dutch Gold retained the remaining Aultra liabilities not acquired of $616,154 which represents amounts owed to the now former officer of Aultra, Rauno Perttu. Dutch Gold issued 10,000,000 shares to Rauno Perttu in July 2010 which reduced this liability by $200,000 ($200,000 represented the fair value of the shares on the date of issuance). The remaining liability owed to Rauno Perttu as of December 31, 2011 primarily relates to management fees owed for services performed and remaining amounts owed resulting from the Aultra transaction.

Tom Leahey, CFO of Dutch Gold Resources, Inc. has a balance owing to him of $51,323 as of December 31, 2011 related to unpaid management fees and other expenses.

NOTE 16—FINANCIAL CONDITION AND GOING CONCERN

As of December 31, 2011, the Company had cash on hand as of $628 and a working capital deficit of approximately $6.5 million and has incurred a loss from operations in 2011. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In addition, as of December 31, 2011, the Company does not have the authorized shares available for issuance in order to satisfy the conversion features related to its financial instruments or equity awards granted. The Company's continuance is dependent on raising capital and generating revenues sufficient to sustain operations. The Company believes that the necessary capital will be raised and has entered into discussions to do so with certain individuals and companies. However, as of the date of these consolidated financial statements, no formal agreement exists.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to secure the necessary capital and continue as a going concern.

NOTE 17—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company leases office space in Atlanta, Georgia under a one-year renewable contract presently at approximately $2,000 per month.

The Company’s mining lease agreement with Bilbray Trust and Johnston Trust (the “Trusts”) related to a mining lease agreement for certain property located in Blaine County, Idaho (the “Property”) was terminated effective December 31, 2011. No amounts were recorded in fiscal 2011 related to this lease.

The Company is subject to various claims primarily arising in the normal course of business. Although the outcome of these matters cannot be determined, the Company does not believe it is probable that any such claims will result in material costs and expenses. The Company’s balance sheet for the year ended December 31, 2011 reflected an accrued liability of $162,000 pertaining to amounts that the Company believes will be owed related to professional services performed by a vendor previously. The amount accrued approximates the judgment that was received pertaining to this claim.

NOTE 18 – MINING LEASE AND OPTION TO PURCHASE

BASIN GULCH

Dutch Gold Resources, Inc. was granted an assignment of the Basin Gulch Mine lease between Aultra Gold, Inc. and Strategic Minerals, Inc. in 2010 as a result of the Asset Purchase agreement with Aultra as discussed in Note 2.

On May 31, 2006, AGDI entered into a Mining Lease Agreement with Strategic Minerals, Inc. (“Strategic”) whereby Strategic granted AGDI the exclusive right to explore, evaluate, develop, and mine the Basin Gulch Property, Montana. The advanced exploration and test mining project consists of eleven patented mineral claims, surrounded by the Deer Lodge National Forest, totaling about 217.9 acres. The claims are all located at the head of Basin Gulch, on the northern slopes of the West Fork Buttes, within the Sapphire Range of the Western Montana Rocky Mountains. The three-stage Mining Lease Agreement for Basin Gulch is structured as follows:

Stage 1 initial payment:

AGDI paid its initial cash payment of $10,000 and prior to July 30, 2006 satisfied its reporting obligations to Strategic regarding all the exploration and studies conducted on the premises of Basin Gulch Property. This initial payment was expensed when paid.

Stage 2 advance production royalties:

To further evaluate and develop the minerals, AGDI fulfilled the following obligations:

i) By June 10, 2006, it paid a cash payment of $15,000 directly to the underlying property owner;

ii) By September 10, 2006 made cash payment of $25,000 directly to the underlying property owner, and at the end of each following nine month period to date.

iii) Since 2008, Dutch Gold Resources, Inc. made such payments under an agreement with Aultra Gold, which granted a security interest in all the claims to the AGDI. Since 2008, DGRI has made semi- annual cash payments of $25,000 to the underlying land owner. No further payments have been or will be made to Strategic based on subsequent agreements between Strategic and the Company.

Stage 3 production royalties:

Upon commencement of production, the Company must pay the greater of:

i) A twice annual cash payment of $25,000 due on March 10 and September 10 of each year; or

ii) 3% of the gross sales receipts of the gold and silver sold, due semi-annually on March 10 and September 10 of each year;

Should production be suspended for a period of 6 months or longer, the twice annual advance production royalty of $25,000 listed above resumes. Upon the completion of payments totaling $8,000,000, the Company will have purchased the mineral rights to this property. As of December 31, 2011, production had not commenced and, therefore, the Stage 3 related production royalties were not owed.

NOTE 18 – MINING LEASE AND OPTION TO PURCHASE (CONTINUED)

JUNGO

On June 1, 2007, the Company entered into a formal binding Agreement of Purchase and Sale (the "Agreement") with W.R. Hansen, an individual (the “Seller”), pursuant to which the Company acquired from the Seller certain mining claims together with all improvements and all equipment owned by the Seller located thereon, located in Humboldt County, State of Nevada (the “Property”). In consideration of the purchase of the Property, the Company agreed to: (i) reimburse the Seller for all staking and filing costs related to the Property, (ii) issue to the Seller 50,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), valued at $0.50 per share, (iii) upon its sole determination of sufficient mineralization to place the Property in production, to further issue to the Seller an additional 50,000 restricted shares of the Company’s Common Stock, such that the Company shall make such a determination not later than 30 days following the acquisition of the data contemplated by paragraph 3.3 of the Agreement, (iv) not later than 10 days following the date the Property is placed into development for production of metals, to issue to the Seller an additional 100,000 restricted shares of the Company’s Common Stock, and (v) as further consideration after the Property is placed in production, to direct to the Seller a monthly Net Smelter Royalty of 2% upon all gold, silver, copper, or other metals (the “Metals”) produced and sold from the Property (each royalty payment shall be paid not later than 30 days following the last day of the month in which the metals were produced and sold). Closing of the sale and purchase of the Property occurred on the same date, as under the Agreement both the Company and the Seller have performed their mutual obligations under paragraph 2.2 and Section 4 thereof. As of December 31, 2011, the Jungo property was not in production.

On August 29, 2011, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to lease out the Jungo Project. The Company entered into a lease agreement with Avidian Gold US, Inc. (Avidian). Avidian, which has a portfolio of projects in Nevada, expects to conduct additional drilling on the property in 2012. The agreement calls for Avidian to pay an advance royalty to the Company and to grant an industry standard Net Smelter Return to the Company. The Company received the initial royalty payment in the amount of $15,000. Production had not commenced therefore the amount received is reflected as Deferred production royalty revenue on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2011. The Company will also receive 150,000 common shares in Avidian which will be accounted for under the cost method. This ownership in Avidian is less than 5% and the Company’s initial value of its investment is $0 as Avidian is a startup company.

NOTE 19 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Management has evaluated all events that occurred after the balance sheet date through the date when these financial statements were issued to determine if they must be reported. The Management of the Company has determined that there were certain reportable subsequent events to be disclosed as follows:

On March 26, 2012, the Company filed a Definitive Information Statement (SEC DEF 14C) to amend the Company’s Articles of Incorporation based on the March 8, 2012 authorization of the Company’s Board of Directors and shareholders holding a majority of the Company’s outstanding voting capital stock to amend the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of the Company’s authorized shares of capital stock to 2,020,000,000 shares of which 2,000,000,000 shares will be Common Stock and 20,000,000 shares will be Preferred Stock (the “Authorized Stock Increase” or “Amendment”). This amendment will be effective April 16, 2012.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

None.

Item 9A(T). Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

In accordance with Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company’s management evaluated, with the participation of the Company’s principal executive and financial officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based upon an evaluation of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures, our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the rules and forms of the SEC and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Disclosure controls and procedures are defined as those controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon the evaluation by management, they have concluded these disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the year ended December 31, 2011 as a result of material weaknesses as discussed below.

The material weaknesses in our disclosure control procedures are as follows:

Lack of formal policies and procedures necessary to adequately review significant accounting transactions. The Company utilizes a third party independent contractor for the preparation of its financial statements. Although the financial statements and footnotes are reviewed by our management, we do not have a formal policy or the appropriate segregation of duties in place to review significant accounting transactions and the accounting treatment of such transactions. The third party independent contractor is not involved in the day to day operations of the Company and may not be provided information from management on a timely basis to allow for adequate reporting/consideration of certain transactions.

Audit Committee and Financial Expert. The Company does not have a formal audit committee with a financial expert, and thus the Company lacks the board oversight role within the financial reporting process.

We intend to initiate measures to remediate the identified material weaknesses including, but not necessarily limited to, the following:

Establishing a formal review process of significant accounting transactions that includes participation of the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and the Company’s corporate legal counsel.

Form an Audit Committee that will establish policies and procedures that will provide the Board of Directors a formal review process that will among other things, assure that management controls and procedures are in place and being maintained consistently

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. In performing the assessment, our management concluded that, as of December 31, 2011, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective, because of the material weaknesses that were identified.

The material weakness relates to a lack of formal policies and procedures necessary to adequately review significant accounting transactions. In addition, due to the size of our Company, there is a lack of segregation of duties as it relates to accounting and financial matters and there is not a formal audit committee. The Company utilizes a third party independent contractor for the preparation of its financial statements. Although our management reviews the financial statements and footnotes, we do not have a formal policy to review significant accounting transactions and the accounting treatment of such transactions. We have initiated measures to remediate the identified material weaknesses which included establishing a formal review process for significant accounting transactions that includes the participation of the Company’s management and corporate legal counsel, and working to establish a formal audit committee.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

During the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2011, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that we believe could materially affect, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Item 9B. Other Information

None.
