FREMONT GOLD CORPORATION
ATTACHMENT TO
FORM 12b-25
NOTIFICATION OF LATE FILING
FOR QUARTERLY REPORT ON FORM 10-QSB
FOR THE PERIOD ENDING MARCH 31, 1997
CUSIP NO: Common Stock 35728C 10 O
PART III - NARRATIVE
The last day for Fremont Gold Corporation (the "Company") to
timely file its Form 10-QSB for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 1997 (the
"Form 10-QSB"), without filing a Form 12b-25, was May 15, 1997.
During the quarter ended March 31, 1997, the Company acquired
new accounting software for purposes of producing its financial statements. The
Company proceeded to input all of its financial information for the current
fiscal year into the new system. After this input, the Company attempted to
retrieve trial balances from the system, but was unable to do so. The software
manufacturer's representatives and consultants were contacted and came to the
Company's premises to determine the cause of the malfunction. Because these
individuals were unable to determine the cause of the problem, the Company
directly contacted the software manufacturer for guidance. During the week of
May 5, 1997, the software manufacturer's employees were on the Company's site to
locate and correct the bug in the software system. These individuals determined
that the cause of the problem was an error in setup related to translation of
the Company's transactions in foreign currency. As of May 12, 1997, the Company
believes that the bug has been corrected and is now in the process of completing
its financial statements for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 1997. These
delays were unavoidable and the Company used all of its diligence to obtain an
expedited resolution to the software problem. Unfortunately, because the
expertise of the software manufacture was required to correct the problem,
delays were experienced.
The Company will file the Form 10-QSB on or before May 20,
1997.
PART IV - OTHER INFORMATION
At March 31, 1996 the Company did not have any material operations. In
June 1996 there was a change in control of the Company. Following this change in
control the Company began to implement its current business plan which includes
the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties, primarily
gold and copper properties located in Latin America. The financial statements
for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 will reflect these operations.
