Description of Business

Shoshone Silver Mining Company (an Exploration Stage Company) (“the Company” or “Shoshone”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Idaho on August 4, 1969, under the name of Sunrise Mining Company and is engaged in the business of mining. On January 22, 1970, the Company's name was changed to Shoshone Silver Mining Company. During 2003, the Company’s focus broadened to include resource management and sales of mineral and timber interests. The Company has one wholly owned subsidiary, Lakeview Consolidated Silver Mines, Inc., the results of which are incorporated herein.

Beginning in fiscal 2000, the Company entered into an exploration stage. The Company has acquired several mining properties since entering the exploration stage. During fiscal year 2008, the Company completed the refurbishment of the mill at its Lakeview property.

In 2004, the Company incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary in Mexico, Shoshone Mexico, S.A. de C.V, for the purposes of facilitating its Mexico property explorations and future operations. On August 11, 2008, the Company sold 100% of the common stock of its wholly owned subsidiary to Xtierra Resources, Ltd. See Note 7.

Although the financial institutions are considered creditworthy and have not experienced any losses on their deposits, at June 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008, the Company’s cash balance exceeded Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and SIPC limits by $0 and $1,296,921, respectively.

Fair Value Measurements

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157 (“SFAS 157”), “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value but does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. In this standard, the FASB clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. In support of this principle, SFAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

Level 1 inputs — Unadjusted quoted process in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 inputs — Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

Level 3 inputs — Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

Securities classified as available for sale are reported at fair value utilizing Level 1 inputs. For these securities, the Company obtains fair value from active markets.

The Company’s Note Receivable (net of discount) is reported at fair value utilizing Level 2 inputs. The discounting of this note receivable utilized interest rates. See Note 7.

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2009, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized by the Company to determine such fair value.

Fiscal Periods

References to a fiscal year refer to the calendar year in which such fiscal year ends. Historically, the Company’s fiscal year ended on December 31st. However, on September 29, 2008, the Company’s board of directors approved a change in the Company’s fiscal year end from December 31st to September 30th, effective on September 30, 2008.

Going Concern

As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has had limited revenues and incurred an accumulated deficit of $1,004,342 from inception through June 30, 2009. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management intends to seek additional capital from new equity securities offerings that will provide funds needed to increase liquidity and fully implement its business plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.

Historically, the Company has generally funded its operations with proceeds from the sale of “available-for-sale” investments, royalty and option agreement payments, and from the sale of the Company’s common stock. Should the Company be unsuccessful in any of the initiatives or matters discussed above and unable to raise capital through future private placements, its business, and, as a result, its financial position, results of operations and cash flow will likely be materially adversely impacted. As such, substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern remains as of the date of these financial statements.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence. An estimated $2,000,000 is believed necessary to continue operations and increase development through the next twelve months. Currently, the Company anticipates raising the majority of the $2,000,000 through the issuance of common stock to private investors. The timing and amount of capital requirements will depend on a number of factors, including demand for products and services.

Notes Receivable

The Company’s policy for notes receivable is to continue accruing interest income until it becomes likely that the note is uncollectible. At that time, an allowance for bad debt would be established and interest would stop accruing.

Principles of Consolidation

The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Lakeview Consolidated Silver Mines, Inc. The inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated upon consolidation.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In May 2009, the FASB issued “SFAS No.165, Subsequent Events” (SFAS 165). SFAS 165 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before the date that the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. It requires disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events. SFAS 165 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 165 without a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In June 2009, the FASB issued “SFAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (SFAS 168). SFAS 168 will become the source


of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. On the effective date of SFAS 168, the Codification will supersede all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become non-authoritative. SFAS is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of SFAS 168 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Reclassifications

Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist as of the date the financial statements are published, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Uncertainties with respect to such estimates and assumptions are inherent in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements; accordingly, it is possible that the actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions, which could have a material effect on the reported amounts of Shoshone’s financial position and results of operations.

NOTE 3: RECEIVABLES FROM RELATED PARTIES

On November 4, 2008, the Company purchased 3,771 ounces of silver coins and bars as well as various dies for making coins from a related party. The cost to the Company of the silver and the dies was $56,452. However, the Company paid $110,000 and has recorded a receivable from the related party of $53,548. The Company’s Chairman is also a member of the board of directors of this related party.

On March 3, 2009, this related party filed a voluntary petition for reorganization relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Idaho. Based on this filing, the Company created an allowance for this note receivable in the amount of $53,548.

During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company prepaid $11,624 to a related party for certain administrative services. During fiscal 2005, the Company ceased its business relationship with the related party and has requested a refund of the entire prepaid amount. As of June 30, 2009, a net total of $2,357 had been received. The Company has evaluated the credit risk associated with this related party receivable to determine if an allowance is necessary. At June 30, 2009, no allowance was deemed necessary.

NOTE 4: DEPOSITS AND PREPAID EXPENSES

In December 2008, the Company purchased for $21,752 a one-year liability insurance policy covering its Lakeview mill (the “Policy”). The Policy was purchased with a cash payment of $5,813 with the balance of $15,939 settled with a promissory note. The Company recorded prepaid insurance of $21,335 and a related entry to record a $15,939 note payable. During the three- and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2009, $5,438 and $12,689 of the prepaid insurance was amortized into General & Administrative Expenses, respectively. See Note 10.

On August 27, 2008, the Company amended a lease agreement with Chester Mining Company originally entered into on March 25, 2004 (the “Amended Lease”). The Amended Lease includes a provision that requires the Company to pay a royalty of $125 per month until “net smelter returns” (as defined in the Amended Lease) are payable. During the three-month period ended June 30, 2009, the Company paid


Chester Mining Company a second advance royalty payment of $1,500. During the three- and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2009, $875 and $1,250 of the advance royalty payment was amortized into General & Administrative Expenses, respectively. At June 30, 2009, the unamortized balance of this advance royalty payment was $1,125.

NOTE 5: PROPERTY, PLANT & EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation begins on the date an asset is placed in service using the straight-line method over the asset’s estimated useful life.

The useful lives of property, plant and equipment for purposes of computing depreciation are three to thirty-one and one-half years. The following is a summary of property, equipment, and accumulated depreciation at June 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008:

    June 30, 2009     September 30, 2008  
Equipment $  1,032,766   $  882,638  
Refurbished Lakeview Mill   499,681     499,681  
Office Building   150,000     150,000  
Property & Mill   1,088,563     1,052,776  
    2,771,010     2,585,095  
Less accumulated depreciation   (1,332,061 )   (1,244,225 )
Property, Plant & Equipment, net $  1,438,949   $  1,340,870  

Depreciation expense was $30,228 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2009 and $12,973 for the comparable period last year.

Depreciation expense was $87,836 for the nine-month period ended June 30, 2009 and $25,615 for the comparable period last year.

During the three-month period ended December 31, 2008, the Company acquired equipment valued at $12,500 in exchange for $5,000 in cash and treasury stock valued at $7,500.

The Company evaluates the recoverability of property and equipment when events and circumstances indicate that such assets might be impaired. The Company determines impairment by comparing the undiscounted future cash flows estimated to be generated by these assets to their respective carrying amounts.

Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Replacements and betterments are capitalized. The cost and related reserves of assets sold or retired are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in results of operations.

NOTE 6: NOTES RECEIVABLE FROM RELATED PARTIES

Silver Valley Capital
In September 2006, the Company loaned Silver Valley Capital, LLC $168,000 in exchange for a promissory note. The Company’s President and its Secretary were both members of Silver Valley Capital, LLC at the time the receivable was originated. Both these individuals abstained from voting on the respective companies’ Board of Directors’ Resolutions approving this loan. The note bore interest at 10.0% per annum and stipulated that monthly payments of $822 were to be made until February 1, 2007. On February 1, 2007, the remaining principal plus accrued interest was to become due and payable.

In July 2007, the Company entered into a new loan agreement with Silver Valley Capital, LLC. The note bears interest at 10.0% per annum and stipulates that monthly payments of $822 are to be made until the due date. The due date was changed to February 1, 2008 from February 1, 2007. The Company is currently


working with Silver Valley Capital, LLC to renegotiate a revised due date. During the first nine-month period ended June 30, 2009, no payments were received on this note. Interest income of $291 was accrued the nine-month period ended June 30, 2009. The balance of this note was $3,716 at June 30, 2009.

Kimberly Gold Mines
On August 28, 2008, the Company advanced Kimberly $200,000 and an additional $15,000 on December 4, 2008, in exchange for a promissory note. Kimberly used these funds to reduce their outstanding obligations. The notes bore interest at 6.0% per annum and were payable on demand. Further, until the principal and accrued interests were paid, the notes were secured by sufficient shares of Kimberly common stock at an agreed value of $0.06 per share. Interest income of $6,408 was accrued during the nine-month period ended June 30, 2009. The balance of this note was $0 at June 30, 2009.

In March 2009, the Company acquired certain assets from Kimberly Gold Mines, Inc. (“Kimberly”) in a transaction where the Company issued 12,145,306 shares of common stock and other consideration in exchange for 100% of Kimberly’s common stock. The $215,000 note receivable and accrued interest of $7,408 from Kimberly were derecognized and included in the purchase price of the acquired mineral properties. See Note 13.

NOTE 7: NOTES RECEIVABLE

Sale of Lode Claim
During the first quarter of fiscal 2006, the Company accepted cash of $30,000 and a promissory note for $120,000 from an unrelated party related to the sale of a lode claim for $150,000. The promissory note bears interest at 7.0% per annum and stipulates that payments of $5,089 are to be paid semi-annually until January 23, 2011. On January 11, 2011, the remaining principal plus accrued interest becomes due and payable in full.

During the six-month period ended March 31, 2009, the Company received no payments on this note receivable. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2009, the Company received a Quitclaim Deed releasing the property that was the collateral of the note receivable. The Company determined the fair value of the reclaimed property to be $131,553 which was the sum of the balances in the related note receivable and accrued interest receivable.

Mexican Concessions
On August 11, 2008, the Company sold 100% of the common stock of its wholly owned subsidiary in Mexico, Shoshone Mexico, S.A. de C.V, to Xtierra Resources, Ltd (“Xtierra”). The Company’s interest in the Bilbao concessions in Zacatecas, Mexico was included in this sale. In exchange for its interest in the Bilbao concessions the Company received net proceeds of $2,497,990 and a non-interest bearing note receivable, net of discount, for $1,865,363.

The note does not bear interest and stipulates that a payment of $500,000 is due on August 11, 2009. The remaining balance of $2,000,000 is to be paid in four consecutive equal installments to begin at the time of the commencement of construction of any mine developed on the Bilbao concessions but in any event will be due and payable no later than August 11, 2019.

Since the note does not bear interest, the Company imputed interest at a rate of 5%. Accordingly the Company recorded a note discount of $634,637. During the three- and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2009, $23,317 and $69,951 of interest income was realized through the amortization of this note discount.

On June 30, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement with the Xtierra, now known as Orca Minerals Limited (“Orca”). Pursuant to this agreement, the Company granted Orca a $50,000 discount on the $500,000 payment due on August 11, 2009, provided Orca made the revised $450,000 payment on or before July 7, 2009. The discount of $50,000 was included in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations as an “Other Expense” and as a corresponding reduction to the current portion of the note receivable on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. On July 7, 2009, the Company received the $450,000 due under the revised terms of the note receivable from Orca. See Note 15.

The balance on this note receivable (net of discount) was $1,893,086 at June 30, 2009.

During the three-month period ended June 30, 2009, the Company issued 200,000 treasury shares with a basis of $64,000 and a value of $22,000 in connection with its acquisition of 100% of Kimberly’s common stock. The difference between the basis and the value of the treasury shares was recorded as a reduction to Additional Paid-In Capital. See Note 13.

NOTE 13: ACQUISITION OF ASSETS FROM KIMBERLY GOLD MINES, INC.

On March 12, 2009, the Company acquired certain assets from Kimberly Gold Mines, Inc. (“Kimberly”) in a transaction where the Company issued 12,145,306 shares of common stock and other consideration in exchange for 100% of Kimberly’s common stock. This transaction was valued at $2,185,126 and was recorded to Mineral Properties. Kimberly has ceased to exist as a separate company.

The value of $2,185,126 consisted of the Company’s common stock valued at $1,821,796, a note receivable from Kimberly valued at $222,408, Kimberly’s common stock previously held for investment by the Company valued at $38,035, certain accounts payable assumed by the Company valued at $72,887, the issuance of 200,000 shares of treasury stock valued at $22,000 and a cash payment of $8,000 made to a former vendor of Kimberly.

Included in this acquisition were 186 unpatented mining claims located primarily in Idaho and Montana as well as a mill in need of refurbishing and various pieces of equipment. The Company allocated the entire purchase price to the mining claims and all other assets were allocated no value in this transaction.

NOTE 14: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Environmental Issues
Shoshone is engaged in mineral mining and may become subject to certain liabilities as they relate to environmental cleanup of mining sites or other environmental restoration.

Although the mineral exploration and mining industries are inherently speculative and subject to complex environmental regulations, Shoshone is unaware of any pending litigation or of any specific past or prospective matters which could impair the value of its mining claims.

Civil Action Filed
On November 17, 2008, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) filed a civil action against the Company in the United States District Court for the District of Idaho. The civil action seeks recovery of funds paid by the EPA in response to alleged releases of hazardous substances at the Company’s Idaho Lakeview mine and mill site in Bonner County, Idaho. The Company believes that the claim is without merit and intends to vigorously defend its position. The ultimate outcome of this litigation cannot presently be determined. However, in management’s opinion, the likelihood of a material adverse outcome is not probable. Accordingly, adjustments, if any, which might result from the resolution of this matter, have not been reflected in the financial statements. Also, an estimate of the amount or range of loss, or possible loss, cannot be made.


NOTE 15: SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On July 7, 2009, the Company received the $450,000 due under the revised terms of the note receivable from Orca. Subsequent events have been evaluated through August 13, 2009, the date that the financial statements were available to be issued. See Note 7.


Item 2 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

This report contains forward-looking statements

From time to time, Shoshone and its senior managers have made and will make forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are contained in this report and may be contained in other documents that Shoshone files with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Such statements may also be made by Shoshone and its senior managers in oral or written presentations to analysts, investors, the media and others. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Also, forward-looking statements can generally be identified by words such as “may,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “seek,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan” and similar expressions.

Forward-looking statements provide our expectations or predictions of future conditions, events or results. They are not guarantees of future performance. By their nature, forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties. As such, our actual future results, performance or achievements may differ materially from the results expressed in, or implied by, our forward-looking statements. Please refer to descriptions of these risks set forth in our “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008.

Our forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. We do not undertake to update forward-looking statements to reflect the impact of circumstances or events that arise after the date the forward-looking statements were made.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes presented elsewhere in this report.

Fiscal Year End Change

References to a fiscal year refer to the calendar year in which such fiscal year ends. Historically, our fiscal year ended on December 31st. However, on September 29, 2008, our board of directors approved a change in our fiscal year end from December 31st to September 30th, effective on September 30, 2008.

Plan of Operation

Effective September 30, 2008, we completed the refurbishment of the mill at our Lakeview property. The total capitalized cost of this refurbishment was $499,681 which began depreciating on October 1, 2008. During the three-month period ended June 30, 2009, we temporarily ceased operations at our Lakeview property pending our raising sufficient funds to proceed with operations. This cessation of operations included terminating the employment of three full time employees. We currently employ three full-time persons at our Lakeview property whose primary goal is continuing to upgrade the crusher and mill areas.

On March 12, 2009, we acquired certain assets from Kimberly Gold Mines, Inc. (“Kimberly”) in a transaction where the Company issued 12,145,306 shares of common stock and other consideration in exchange for 100% of Kimberly’s common stock. Included in this acquisition were 186 unpatented mining claims located primarily in Idaho and Montana as well as a mill in need of refurbishing and various pieces of equipment. See “Note 13. Acquisition of Assets from Kimberly Gold Mines, Inc.” to our consolidated financial statements for further details.

Our primary plan of operations included raising sufficient capital to restart operations at our Lakeview property and also to refurbish our new mill purchased as part of the Kimberly acquisition. Our long-term goal is to mine and mill both silver and gold.

On June 30, 2009, we entered into an agreement with the Xtierra, now known as Orca Minerals Limited (“Orca”). Pursuant to this agreement, we granted Orca a $50,000 discount on the $500,000 due on August 11, 2009, provided Orca made the revised $450,000 payment on or before July 7, 2009. On July 7, 2009,


we received the $450,000 which we intend to use primarily to refurbish the mill at our newly acquired Rescue Mine, to reopen two portals and to create a tailings pond for the mill. We anticipate that we will have to hire an addition five full time employees to meet these goals.

Please refer to our discussion regarding our ability to continue as a going concern below for further details.

Going Concern

As shown in the accompanying financial statements, we have had limited revenues and incurred an accumulated deficit of $1,004,342 from inception through June 30, 2009. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We intend to seek additional capital from new equity securities offerings that will provide funds needed to increase liquidity and fully implement its business plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.

Historically, we have generally funded our operations with proceeds from the sale of “available-for-sale” investments, royalty and option agreement payments, and from the sale of the Company’s common stock. Should we be unsuccessful in any of the initiatives or matters discussed above and unable to raise capital through future private placements, our business, and, as a result, our financial position, results of operations and cash flow will likely be materially adversely impacted. As such, substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern remains as of the date of these financial statements.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence. An estimated $2,000,000 is believed necessary to continue operations and increase development through the next twelve months. Currently, the Company anticipates raising the majority of the $2,000,000 through the issuance of common stock to private investors. The timing and amount of capital requirements will depend on a number of factors, including demand for products and services.

Overview of Operating Results

The increase in the net loss incurred during the both three- and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2009, compared with the same periods last year is primarily attributable to increased payroll expenses associated with incremental personnel. However, during the three-month period ended June 30, 2009, we terminated the employment of three employees related to the cessation of operations at our Lakeview property. This mitigated the negative impact of increased payroll expenses during the 2009 periods.

Also contributing to the net loss during both periods was a $50,000 discount for early payment on a note receivable granted to Orca Minerals Limited (“Orca”). The discount was granted on the $500,000 due on August 11, 2009, provided Orca made the revised $450,000 payment on or before July 7, 2009. The discount of $50,000 was included in our Consolidated Statements of Operations as an “Other Expense” and as a corresponding reduction to the current portion of the note receivable on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. On July 7, 2009, we received the $450,000 due under the revised terms of the note receivable from Orca.

The increase in net loss during the nine-month period ended June 30, 2009, was also impacted by the recording of an allowance for doubtful accounts associated with a $53,548 note receivable from a related party.

Operating Expenses

The increases in operating expenses during both the three- and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2009, compared with the same periods last year were primarily due to increased salaries and related expenses of $47,932 and 222,516, respectively. However, during the three-month period ended June 30, 2009, we terminated the employment of three employees related to the cessation of operations at our Lakeview property. This mitigated the negative impact of increased payroll expenses during the 2009 periods.


The operating expenses during the nine-month period ended June 30, 2009, were also negatively impacted by an increase in exploration activities at our Lakeview mine site, made prior to the cessation of operations, and by the recording of an allowance for doubtful accounts associated with a $53,548 account receivable from a related party.

During the recent nine-month period, exploration expenses increased $126,285 compared with the same period last year. On March 3, 2009, a related party who owed the Company $53,548 filed a voluntary petition for reorganization relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Idaho. Based on this filing, the Company created an allowance for this account receivable in the amount of $53,548.

Other Income (Expenses)

The decrease in other income (expenses) during the three-month period ended March 31, 2009, compared with the same period last year was primarily attributable to a $50,000 discount for early payment on a note receivable granted to Orca Minerals Limited. Partially offsetting this negative impact was the recognition of imputed interest income of $23,317 during the most recent three-month period compared with $0 last year.

The decrease in other income (expenses) during the nine-month period ended June 30, 2009, compared with the same period last year was primarily attributable to the negative impacts of a $50,000 discount for early payment on a note receivable granted to Orca Minerals Limited and the realization of a net loss on the sale of available-for-sale securities. During the nine-month period ended June 30, 2008, we realized a net gain on the sale of available for sale securities of $33,585 compared with a net loss of $844 during the most recent nine-month period. Partially offsetting these negative impacts was the recognition of imputed interest income of $69,951 during the most recent nine-month period compared with $0 last year.

Overview of Financial Position

At June 30, 2009, we had cash of $12,835 and total liabilities of $190,156. On June 30, 2009, we entered into an agreement with the Xtierra, now known as Orca Minerals Limited (“Orca”). Pursuant to this agreement, we granted Orca a $50,000 discount on the $500,000 due on August 11, 2009, provided Orca made the revised $450,000 payment on or before July 7, 2009. On July 7, 2009, we received the $450,000 due under the revised terms of the note receivable from Orca.

Property, Plant and Equipment
At June 30, 2009, property, plant and equipment before accumulated depreciation totaled $2,771,010, an increase of $185,915 from $2,585,095 at September 30, 2008. Most of the increase related to equipment purchases at its Lakeview property.

Mineral and Mining Properties
At June 30, 2009 mineral and mining properties totaled $2,696,369, an increase of $2,316,679 from $379,690 at September 30, 2008. On March 12, 2009, the Company acquired mineral properties from Kimberly Gold Mines, Inc. (“Kimberly”) in a transaction where the Company issued 12,145,306 shares of common stock and other consideration in exchange for 100% of Kimberly’s common stock. This transaction was valued at $2,185,126 and was recorded to Mineral Properties.

Also, on February 2, 2009, the Company received a Quitclaim Deed releasing the property that was the collateral of a note receivable with a principal and accrued interest balance of $131,553. The Company determined the fair value of the reclaimed property to equal the sum of the principal and accrued interest balances.

Investments
Our investment portfolio at June 30, 2009, was $321,980, a decrease of $34,843 from the September 30, 2008, balance of $356,823, primarily as a result of the de-recognition of 321,500 shares of Kimberly’s common stock with a cost basis of $38,035. The cost basis of this common stock was allocated to the


purchase price of the acquired mineral properties. This negative impact was partially offset by increases in per share values of certain securities.

Notes Receivable from Related Parties
At June 30, 2009, notes receivable from related parties totaled $3,716, a decrease of $200,000 from $203,716 at September 30, 2008. The decrease was a result of the de-recognition of the Kimberly note receivable in connection with our acquisition of certain assets from Kimberly. The $222,408 value of the Kimberly note receivable and accrued interest was included in the purchase price of the acquired mineral properties.

Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities
Our accounts payable were $163,963 at June 30, 2009, a decrease of $31,544 from $195,507 at September 30, 2008.

The June 30, 2009 accounts payable balance included $72,887 that we assigned to certain liabilities assumed in connection with the acquisition of assets from Kimberly. This balance also included $43,448 in legal expenses primarily related to the Kimberly acquisition.

The September 30, 2008 accounts payable balance included $48,500 in compensation expense associated with a settlement agreement entered into by the Company with its former Chief Executive Officer, and included $50,000 associated with our acquisition of a 50% interest in a commercial office building in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.

Notes Payable
During the third quarter of 2007, we acquired equipment for $55,000 by paying $27,500 cash and signing a note for the remaining $27,500. The note has a term of 24 months, bears interest at 8.50% annually and stipulates that payments of $1,250 be made monthly. The outstanding balance on this note payable was $4,913 at June 30, 2009 and is payable within twelve months.

In December 2007, we purchased equipment for $15,377 in exchange for a note. The note has a term of 43 months, bears interest at 3.90% annually and stipulates that payments of $384 be made monthly. The lender has the right to increase the interest rate to 19.8% in the event of a violation of the terms of the loan agreement. The outstanding balance on this note payable was $9,194 at June 30, 2009. Of this amount $4,331 is payable within twelve months.

In December 2008, we purchased for $21,752 a one-year liability insurance policy covering our Lakeview mill (the “Policy”). The Policy was purchased with a cash payment of $5,813 with the balance of $15,939 settled with a promissory note. We recorded prepaid insurance of $21,752 and a related entry to record a $15,939 note payable. The note has a term of nine months, bears interest at 9.15% annually and stipulates that payments of $1,839 be made monthly. The outstanding balance on this note payable was $5,445 at June 30, 2009, all of which is payable within twelve months.

Stockholders’ Equity
Our total stockholders’ equity was $6,199,068 at June 30, 2009, an increase of $558,048 from $5,641,020 at September 30, 2008. The increase in total stockholders’ equity was primarily due to the issuance of 12,145,306 shares of common stock issued in exchange for certain asserts of Kimberly Gold Mines, Inc. Partially offsetting this positive impact was a net loss of $1,243,283 incurred during the nine-month period ended June 30, 2009.

Also, contributing to the decrease in total stockholders’ equity was a decrease of $47,005 in accumulated other comprehensive income. Fluctuations in prevailing market values continue to cause volatility in the Company’s accumulated comprehensive income or loss in stockholders’ equity and may continue to do so in future periods.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Operating Activities
During the nine-month period ended June 30, 2009, our operating activities used $1,225,942 and used $326,376 during the comparable period last year. This reduction was primarily the result of the realization


of a net loss of $1,243,283 during the recent nine-month period compared to a net loss of $572,289 realized last year.

Investing Activities
During the nine-month period ended June 30, 2009, our investing activities used $276,064 and used $80,340 during the same period last year. This was primarily the result of $105,361 in proceeds from the sale of investments received during the nine-month period ended June 30, 2008 compared with $1,488 during the nine-month period ended June 30, 2009.

Financing Activities
During the nine-month period ended June 30, 2009, our financing activities used $55,225 and contributed $405,145 during the same period last year. This was primarily due to net proceeds of $285,985 received from the issuance common stock during the nine-month period last year, compared with none during the current nine-month period.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company is not currently a party to any off-balance sheet arrangements as they are defined in the regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.


Item 3 – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Not applicable.

Item 4 – Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

In connection with the preparation of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was carried out by the Company’s management, with the participation of the Principal Executive Officer and the Pricipal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) as of June 30, 2009. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management concluded, as of the end of the period covered by this report, that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in recording, processing, summarizing, and reporting information required to be disclosed within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

As of the end of the period covered by this report, there have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 30, 2009, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1 - Legal Proceedings

We are, from time to time, involved in various legal proceedings incidental to the conduct of business. In the opinion of management, our gross liability, if any, and without any consideration given to the availability of insurance or other indemnification, under any pending litigation or administrative proceedings, including that discussed below, would not materially affect our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

On November 17, 2008, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) filed a civil action against us in the United States District Court for the District of Idaho. The civil action seeks recovery of funds paid by the EPA in response to alleged releases of hazardous substances at our Idaho Lakeview mine and mill site in Bonner County, Idaho. Currently, we do not believe that the resolution of this civil action will materially affect our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Further, at this time, the Company is unable to make an estimate of a possible loss.
