1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS

Gryphon Gold Corporation was incorporated in the State of Nevada in 2003 and wholly owns its subsidiaries, Borealis Mining Company, Gryphon Nevada Eagle Holding Company and Nevada Eagle Resources LLC (collectively, "the Company"). The Company is an exploration stage company in the process of exploring its mineral properties, and has not yet determined whether these properties contain reserves that are economically recoverable.

The recoverability of amounts shown for mineral property interests in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets are dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to arrange appropriate financing to complete the development of its properties, the receipt of necessary permitting and upon achieving future profitable production or receiving proceeds from the disposition of the properties. The timing of such events occurring, if at all, is not yet determinable.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

These interim unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial statements, applied on a consistent basis. These interim financial statements follow the same significant accounting policies and methods of application as those disclosed in Note 2 to the Company's audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended March 31, 2007 (the "Annual Financial Statements''), expect for the new revenue recognition and intangible asset policies described below related to the Nevada Eagle acquisition (see note 3). Accordingly, they do not include all disclosures required for annual financial statements. These interim unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereon should be read in conjunction with the Annual Financial Statements.

The preparation of these interim unaudited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. In the opinion of management, these interim unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (which include only normal, recurring adjustments) necessary to state fairly the results for the periods presented. Actual results could vary from these estimates and the operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year.

In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB interpretation No. 48 – Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This Interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. This interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Effective April 1, 2007, the Company adopted FIN 48, which did not have a material impact on the Company’s interim unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Revenue recognition
Mineral lease rentals or option payments are treated as reductions of the cost of the property as the payor is accumulating an interest in the mineral property; payments in excess of capitalized costs are recognized in income. Some agreements provide for payments in the form of stock and other equity instruments as well as cash payments. Stock and other equity instruments are recognized based on their fair market value at the time of receipt. Fluctuations incurred during the holding period are accounted for as gains or losses from held for trading securities. The leases provide for the receipt of royalty payments upon production of the property. Royalty payments will be recognized in the period in which production occurs. There are no properties in the production stage at this time.

Intangible Assets
Identifiable intangible assets include a non-competition agreement. The initial measurement of the non-competition agreements is based on the fair value of the consideration paid. The agreement is being amortized on a straight-line basis, over management’s estimated useful like of five years.

3. ACQUISTION OF NEVADA EAGLE RESOUCES LLC

On August 21, 2007 Gryphon Gold Corporation closed the acquisition of Nevada Eagle Resources LLC, a privately held Nevada limited liability company ("Nevada Eagle"), pursuant to a membership interest purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"), dated July 4, 2007, by and between the Company, Gerald W. Baughman and Fabiola Baughman, as sellers ("Sellers"), and Nevada Eagle. Under the Purchase Agreement, the company acquired all of the outstanding limited liability company interests of Nevada Eagle from the Sellers (the "Acquisition") for the following consideration, paid on August 21, 2007 (the "Closing Date"):

(a)

$2,500,000 in cash;

(b)

4,500,000 shares of common stock of the Company (the "Common Shares") valued at $3,449,418; and

(c)

a 5% convertible note in the principal amount of $5,000,000 (the "Convertible Note") with an issue date of August 21, 2007 and a fair value of $3,390,640.

The Convertible Note, due March 30, 2010, bears interest at an annual rate of 5% and is convertible at the option of the holder into common shares of the Registrant at an initial conversion price of $1.00 per share during first the twelve-month period following the Closing Date, $1.25 per share during the second twelve-month period following the Closing Date, $1.50 per share thereafter, and $1.75 per share if converted on March 30, 2010. The interest payments are due on a beginning on January 1, 2008, and payable thereafter on each January 1, and June 1.

In addition to the purchase consideration, the Sellers will be entitled to all revenues of Nevada Eagle (payable in cash, stock, or other consideration) calculated to be received and received on the Assets and Properties from January 1, 2007 through midnight on December 31, 2007; however, pursuant to a letter agreement between the Company and the Sellers, dated August 21, 2007, the Sellers’ revenue right does not include revenues generated or arising from any new agreements entered into by the Company regarding the acquired properties (as described below) executed after August 21, 2007.

Gryphon granted the Sellers registration rights under which Gryphon agreed to file, within the later of (i) 90 days of the Closing Date or (ii) any date in which Gryphon is required to file a registration statement for a third-party in connection with a financing or acquisition, but no later than 120 days of the Closing Date, a resale registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Securities Act"), to register the Common Shares issuable at Closing and the common shares of the Company issuable upon exercise of the Convertible Note.

Upon completion of the Acquisition, Nevada Eagle became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gryphon Nevada Eagle Holding Company, a Nevada corporation, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Nevada Eagle has interests in 54 prospective gold properties covering over 70 square miles of gold trends in Nevada. Twenty-four of these properties are in the Walker Lane belt and add to Gryphon’s inventory of volcanogenic hosted gold resources. Seven of the properties are in the Cortez Trend, seven in the Austin-Lovelock Trend, two in the Carlin Trend and the balance are unique situations throughout Nevada with a few in contiguous states. These properties offer Gryphon both production opportunities or royalty income upon production. Twenty-six of the properties are ‘farmed-out’ through lease and option agreements that generate a positive cash flow net of carryings costs. The remaining wholly-owned properties are retained for Gryphon Gold’s own exploration effort or additional future farm outs.

Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the closing of the Acquisition was subject to several closing conditions, including execution of several ancillary agreements as follows:

(a)

A Lock-up Agreement, dated August 21, 2007, under which the Sellers agree that for a period of three months following the Closing Date not to sell Common Shares issued or issuable under the Purchase Agreement and Convertible Note and, thereafter, to limit the sale of such Common Shares to 20% of the aggregate Common Shares issued under the Purchase Agreement and Convertible Note each quarter (with unsold Common Shares aggregating each quarter thereafter);

(b)

An Employment Agreement between the Registrant and Mr. Baughman for a term of one year, renewable by the parties, to serve as Gryphon’s Vice President of Corporate Development; and

7


(c)

A Non-Competition Agreement under which the Sellers have agreed not to compete with the Company for the latter of (i) twelve (12) months following the Closing Date (the "Restricted Period"), or (ii) twelve (12) months following the termination of the Company’s employment of Gerald Baughman. The scope of the non-competition obligation relates to the business of acquiring and/or holding base metal and precious metal mineral assets located in the state of Nevada within the Area of Interest and to properties that have been examined by the Company or Mr. Baughman during the course of his employment by the Company, in any manner or capacity. "Area of Interest" is defined as any property owned by the Company, Nevada Eagle, or any affiliate of the Company or Nevada Eagle on the latter of (i) Closing Date or (ii) the termination date of Gerald Baughman’s employment by the Company, if any, together with any adjacent areas within one kilometer of the exterior boundary of such properties.

The fair value of agents’ and underwriters’ warrants issued during 2007 and 2006 has been estimated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model based on the following assumptions: a risk-free interest rate of 3.38% to 5.21% as of the date of transaction; expected life of 1 to 3 years depending on their terms; an expected volatility of 53% to 70% (based on the average volatility of companies in the industry at date of issuance for period equivalent to the expected life); and no expectation for the payment of dividends.

Stock options:

On September 6, 2007, a director was awarded 100,000 stock options. The options vest over one year and are exercisable for 5 years at a price of Cdn$0.77 per share.

On September 13, 2007, an employee was granted 20,000 stock options that vest over 2.5 years and are exercisable for 5 years at a price of Cdn$0.81 per share.

On September 21, 2007, four employees were granted 835,000 stock options that vest over two years and are exercisable for 5 years at a price of Cdn$0.90 per share.

On July 27, 2007, a consultant was awarded 75,000 stock options that vest over 2 years and are exercisable for 5 years at a price of Cdn$0.91 per share.

On May 11, 2007, two employees were granted a total of 60,000 stock options. The options vest over the next 18 months and are exercisable for 5 years at a price of Cdn$0.95 per share. 40,000 of these options have been subsequently forfeited.

The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense over the requisite service period of the individual grants, which generally equals the vesting period. SFAS 123(R) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company’s total employees are relatively few in number and turnover is considered remote, therefore the Company currently estimates forfeitures to be 5.5%. Estimate of forfeitures is reviewed on a quarterly basis. Stock-based compensation is expensed on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.

The Company recorded total stock-based compensation expense related to stock options and restricted stock units as follows:

  Three months Three months Six months Six months

Valuation assumptions

Compensation expense recorded in the financial statements has been estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The assumptions used in the pricing model include:

  2008 2007
     
Dividend yield 0% 0%
Expected volatility 55% 55%
Risk free interest rate 4.09%-4.62% 4.54% - 5.21%
Expected lives 3 years 3 years

The risk-free interest rate is determined based on the rate at the time of grant for US government zero-coupon bonds for a 3 year term, which is a term equal to the estimated life of the option. Dividend yield is based on the stock option’s exercise price and expected annual dividend rate at the time of grant. Volatility is derived by measuring the average share price fluctuation of three publicly listed companies that operate in the same industry. The period of historical volatility is the same period as the expected life of the option being 3 years.

The Black-Scholes option-pricing model used by the Company to calculate option values was developed to estimate the fair value of freely tradable, fully transferable options without vesting restrictions, which significantly differ from the Company’s stock option awards. Options pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including future stock price volatility and expected time until exercise, which greatly affect the calculated values. Changes in these assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate and therefore it is management’s view that the existing models do not necessarily provide a single reliable measure of the fair value of the Company’s equity instruments.

Restricted stock units:

On May 11, 2007, the Board of Directors approved the grant of 10,000 restricted stock units (‘RSU’) to an employee of the Company which were subsequently forfeited on July 31, 2007.

On September 5, 2007 the Company entered into a Transition Agreement with an employee and director (see note 10(c)). Among other things, the agreement provided a grant of 112,500 RSU’s that vest over two years; 18,750 RSU’s that were to vest in January 2008 were forfeited; a grant of 50,000 RSU’s was forfeited and replaced with a new RSU agreement that provides 2,778 units for each full month of service (subject to a maximum of 50,000 RSU’s) completed as a member of the Board of Directors beginning January 1, 2007 and vest upon resignation from the Board of Directors.

The following table summarizes information about restricted stock units outstanding as at September 30, 2007:

Gryphon Gold issued a Convertible Promissory Note to the former owner of Nevada Eagle with a face amount of $5,000,000, due March 30, 2010, bearing interest at 5% per annum, payable on January 1 and June 1 of each year. The note is convertible at the holder’s option into shares for the first 12 months after closing at a conversion price of $1 per common share; for the next 12 months at $1.25 per common share; for the period 24 months from closing to March 29, 2010 at $1.50 per common share and on March 30, 2010 at $1.75 per common share. The conversion rate is subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments and is also subject to adjustment on payment of cash dividends by Gryphon Gold. Upon an event of default, which includes amongst other things a change in control of Gryphon Gold, the holder may demand repayment of the principal amount of the debenture or exercise the conversion feature for a fixed number of shares. After an event of default, the interest rate on the convertible debenture increases to 9%. The change in control in an event of default is considered an embedded derivative however its issue date fair value is not considered to be significant, nor is it considered to be significant at September 30, 2007. The conversion feature does not require bifurcation in the financial statements because it is not a beneficial conversion feature and a cash payment is not required if common shares issued at time of conversion are never successfully registered. The Convertible Promissory Note, including the conversion feature and change in control event of default embedded derivative, has been recorded at its estimated issue date fair value of $4,272,359 in the unaudited consolidated balance sheet. Interest and discount accretion of $30,176 and $28,367, respectively for the period of August 21, 2007 to September 30, 2007, has been recorded as interest expense in the unaudited consolidated income statements. The former owner of Nevada Eagle is also an employee of the Company (see note 3).

13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On October 11, 2007, the Company granted 47,000 options to a consulting Company at a price of Cdn$0.88 per common share that vest on November 10, 2007.

On October 10, 2007, 6,250 RSU’s vested for each of three directors and common shares were issued.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

Overview

Gryphon Gold Corporation was incorporated in Nevada on April 24, 2003 and has offices in Hawthorne, Nevada and Vancouver, British Columbia. Our objective is to add to our potential exposure to gold mineralization in Nevada though exploration, joint ventures and acquisitions. Currently, our most valuable asset is a 100% interest in the Borealis Property, located in Mineral County, Nevada. We have not determined if the mineralized material from the Borealis Property can be economically exploited. Through the acquisition of Nevada Eagle Resources LLC, we obtained approximately 54 additional exploration properties. None of these properties have known reserves.

In July 2003, we initially acquired from Golden Phoenix Minerals, Inc. ("Golden Phoenix") an option to earn a 70% joint venture interest in the Borealis Property by incurring qualified development expenditures. On January 28, 2005, we acquired the remaining interest held by Golden Phoenix in the Borealis Property for $1,400,000. Our subsidiary, Borealis Mining, paid to Golden Phoenix $400,000 upon closing of the purchase on January 28, 2005, with four additional quarterly payments of $250,000 due to Golden Phoenix. On January 24, 2006, with a final payment of $250,000, Borealis Mining completed all of its financial requirements with respect to our acquisition of the interest held by Golden Phoenix.

As sole shareholder of Borealis Mining, we control all of the lease rights to a portion of the Borealis Property, subject to advance royalty, production royalty, and other payment obligations imposed by the lease. Our acquisition of the interest of Golden Phoenix in the Borealis Property terminated the July 2003 Option and Joint Venture Agreement.

In addition to our leasehold interest to a portion of the Borealis Property, through Borealis Mining we also own numerous unpatented mining claims that make up the balance of the Borealis Property, and we also own all of the documentation and samples from years of exploration and development programs carried out by the previous operators of the Borealis Property (totaling thousands of pages of data including, but not limited to, geophysical surveys, mineralogical studies and metallurgical testing reports).

A portion of the Borealis Property is subject to the mining lease. We are required to make monthly lease payments of $9,094, adjusted annually based on change in the Consumer Price Index. In addition, the production of precious metals from the Borealis Property will be subject to the payment of a royalty under the terms of the mining lease. The terms of the mining lease and royalty are described below under the heading "Borealis Property". We have also entered into lease arrangements for offices in Vancouver, British Columbia and Hawthorne, Nevada and recently we terminated our office lease in Lakewood, Colorado on Dec 31, 2006.

On June 26, 2006, we announced that the USDA Forest Service and the Nevada Bureau of Mining Regulation and Reclamation have both approved the Plan of Operations and Reclamation Plan, allowing Gryphon Gold to proceed with the development of a heap leach mine at the Borealis Gold Project. These approvals, combined with the previously approved operating permits from the State of Nevada, represented the key regulatory approvals required to place the Borealis gold mineralization into production.

On November 30, 2006, our board of directors concluded that we would not proceed with construction and production financing of the Borealis heap leach mine. The feed for the proposed mine was remnants from the previously mined open pits, and heap and dump material associated with the historical mining operations. The decision not to proceed was made due to the impact of certain technical corrections to the previously announced Feasibility Study and related NI 43-101 Technical Report, dated August 15, 2006. The technical corrections reduced the anticipated quantity of recoverable gold and silver over the project life, and resulted in a marginal projected return on investment. In light of the decision not to proceed with development of a mine, in December 2006, we closed our Denver office and terminated operations and engineering staff, including our Chief Operating Officer Mr. Allen Gordon and our Vice President of Borealis Project Development Mr. Matt Bender. Mr. Steven Craig, our Vice President of Exploration, was relocated to Nevada. As of December 1, 2006, our Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Michael Longinotti, commenced working on a part-time basis. Under this agreement, his time spent in the office was reduced by 50% along with his salary, and as of July 1, 2007 Mr. Longinotti resumed full-time employment.

On January 11, 2007, we announced the results of the revised CIM compliant resource estimate in accordance with NI 43-101 which had been compiled by Mr. Alan C. Noble, P.E. of Ore Reserves Engineering. The results of the report were independently reviewed by AMEC to insure the methodology and assumptions used in the calculations were consistent with industry standards. The resource estimate includes the results of exploration drilling through February 28, 2006. The measured, indicated and inferred gold resource reported in January 2007 was:

Date Measured* Indicated* Inferred*
  Tons Grade Ozs of Tons Grade Ozs of Tons Grade Ozs of Gold
  (000’s) opt Gold (000’s) opt Gold (000’s) opt  
January, 11, 2007 16,360 0.031 503,700 24,879 0.029 709,800 30,973 0.020 609,200

The updated report confirmed a total gold resource (measured, indicated and inferred) of 1,822,700 ounces contained in the Borealis property.

*Cautionary Note to investors concerning estimates of Measured, Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources: We report mineralized material under two separate standards to meet the requirements for reporting in both the U.S. and Canada. U.S. reporting requirements for disclosure of mineral properties are governed by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Industry Guide 7. Canadian reporting requirements for disclosure of mineral properties are governed by National Instrument 43-101, commonly referred to as NI 43-101. Canadian and United States standards are substantially different, and none of our property has any probable or proven reserves under either Canadian or United States standards. The table above uses the terms "measured," "indicated" and "inferred" in reference to "resources." We advise investors that while these terms are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, the SEC does not recognize them. "Inferred mineral resources" have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. In accordance with Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources cannot form the basis of feasibility or other economic studies. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the inferred mineral resource exists or is economically or legally mineable. In the United States, an issuer is not generally permitted to disclose mineralization unless such mineralization satisfies the definitional requirements of proven or probable mineral reserve in accordance with SEC Industry Guide 7, which defines mineral reserve as a part of a mineral deposit, which could be economically and legally extracted or produced at the time the reserve determination is made. Accordingly, information contained in this Form 10-QSB containing descriptions of our mineral deposits in accordance with NI 43-101 may not be comparable to similar information made public by other U.S. companies under the United States federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into mineral reserves.

In October 2007, we completed a Controlled Source Audio-Frequency Magnetotelluric survey on the gold deposits in the Graben. We plan to expand this survey on other parts of the Borealis property.

We expect to report a CIM compliant resource estimate in accordance with NI 43-101 during the quarter ended March 31, 2008. The completion of the report is partially dependent on timing of the end of the current drilling program and related turn around time for assay results.

In December 2006, we completed the geophysical survey, which commenced in September 2006. The positive geophysical results obtained from induced polarization (IP) surveys identified multiple chargeability and resisitivity anomalies coincident with aeromagnetic lows which extended several kilometers (km) to the north and northwest of the Graben sulphide deposit. The IP surveys identified two new mineralized exploration targets located under the pediments 3.0 km (Central Pediments) and 5.3 km (Western Pediment) northwest of the Graben sulphide deposit.

On January 17, 2007, we announced a 72-hole, $4.5 million drilling and exploration program focused on the expansion of the Graben deposit and Borealis exploration drilling. The program consists of a series of Graben deposit expansion drilling and extension drilling north of the successful G3 – G13 fence of holes. The drilling of the Graben deposit will alternate with follow up exploration drilling in the Central and Western Pediments where 10 holes have intersected two distinct hydrothermal systems hidden beneath the pediments.

During our fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, we completed the following private placements:

1)

On June 10, 2006, we completed private placements to an officer and employee of 129,000 units for gross proceeds of Cdn$174,150. The units were sold at a price of Cdn$1.35 each and consist of one common share and one-half of one purchase warrant exercisable at Cdn$1.82 per share. The warrants expired on June 10, 2007.

2)

On February 9, 2007 we completed a private placement of 5.0 million units at a price of Cdn$0.90 per unit for gross proceeds of Cdn$4.5 million. Each unit consisted of one common share and one full purchase warrant. The two year warrants are exercisable at a price of Cdn$1.10 if exercised within twelve months of the closing and at a price of Cdn$1.35 if exercised after the First Anniversary but prior to expiry. We paid qualified registered dealers a 7% cash commission in the amount of Cdn$77,175 and issued compensation options to acquire 85,050 common shares (at a price of Cdn$0.90 per share for a period of 12 months from closing) in respect of the 1.225 million units placed by them. The shares, warrants and underlying shares were not qualified by prospectus, have not been registered under U.S. securities laws, and are subject to resale restrictions. The Company granted registration rights to the investors in this private placement and accordingly filed with the SEC on June 7, 2007 (amended July 23, 2007), a registration statement under the Securities Act. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the registration statement to be declared effective. The proceeds of this offering will be applied to fund the continuation of our exploration and development program on the Borealis Property.

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, our exploration work focused on extension and definition drilling and the broadening of district exploration and we expended $4.8 million (fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 $3.6 million) on exploration of the Borealis property.

On July 4, 2007, we entered into a membership interest purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Gerald W. Baughman and Fabiola Baughman, as sellers ("Sellers"), and Nevada Eagle Resources LLC, a Nevada limited liability company ("Nevada Eagle"), under which Gryphon agreed to purchase all of the outstanding limited liability company interests of Nevada Eagle (the "Acquisition"). The transaction closed August 21, 2007. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Gryphon acquired Nevada Eagle from the Sellers for the following consideration:

(a)

$2,500,000 in cash;

(b)

four million five hundred thousand (4,500,000) shares of common stock of Gryphon ("Common Shares"); and

(c)

a 5% convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $5,000,000 (the "Convertible Note").

The Convertible Note, due March 30, 2010, bears interest at the annual rate of 5% and is convertible at the option of the holder into Common Shares at an initial conversion price of $1.00 per common share during first the twelve month period following the Closing Date, $1.25 per common share during the second twelve month period following the Closing Date, $1.50 per common share thereafter and $1.75 per common share if converted on March 10, 2007. The interest payments are due on each January 1 and June 1, beginning on January 1, 2008. In addition to the purchase consideration, the Sellers will be entitled to all revenues of Nevada Eagle (payable in cash, stock, or other consideration) calculated to be received and received on the assets and properties from January 1, 2007 through midnight on December 31, 2007.

In addition, we granted the Sellers registration rights under which we agreed to file (within the later of (i) 90 days of the Closing Date or (ii) any date in which we are required to file a registration statement for a third-party in connection with a financing or acquisition, but no later than 120 days of the Closing Date) a resale registration statement to register the Common Shares issuable at Closing and issuable upon exercise of the Convertible Note under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

19


At closing, the following agreements were also executed:

(a)

the sellers executed a Lock-up Agreement under which the Sellers agreed that for a period of three months following the Closing Date not to sell Common Shares issued or issuable under the Purchase Agreement and Convertible Note and, thereafter, to limit the sale of such Common Shares to 20% of the aggregate Common Shares issued under the Purchase Agreement and Convertible Note each quarter (with unsold Common Shares aggregating each quarter thereafter);

(b)

Mr. Baughman entered into an Employment Agreement for a term of one year, renewable by the parties, to serve as our Vice President of Corporate Development; and

(g)

the sellers entered into a Non-Competition Agreement.

Under the terms of the Non-Competition Agreement, the Sellers agreed not to compete with Gryphon for the latter of (i) twelve (12) months following the Closing Date (the "Restricted Period"), or (ii) twelve (12) months following the termination of our employment of Gerald Baughman. The scope of the non-competition obligation relates to the business of acquiring and/or holding base metal and precious metal mineral assets located in the state of Nevada within the Area of Interest and to properties that have been examined by Gryphon or Gerald Baughman during the course of his employment by us, in any manner or capacity. "Area of Interest" is defined as any property owned by the Company, Nevada Eagle, our Affiliates or Nevada Eagle on the latter of (i) Closing Date or (ii) the termination date of Gerald Baughman's employment by us, if any, together with any adjacent areas within one kilometer of the exterior boundary of such properties.

On August 3, 2007, we completed a private placement of 5,000,000 units at Cdn$0.80 for gross proceeds of approximately Cdn$4,000,000. Each unit consisted of one common share and one series G warrant. Each series G warrant entitles the holder to purchase a common share at a price of Cdn$1.00 per share during the first 12 months after closing and Cdn$1.25 per share during the second 12 months after closing and until expiry. We paid qualified registered dealers a 7% cash commission in the amount of Cdn$152,040 and issued compensation options to acquire 265,050 common shares (at a price of Cdn$0.83 per share for a period of 9 months from closing) in respect of the 2,715,000 million units placed by them. We have a right to force warrant holders to exercise warrants, if the price of our common stock remains equal to or greater than, Cdn$1.85 per common share, for a period of twenty consecutive days. The shares, warrants and underlying shares were not qualified by prospectus, have not been registered under U.S. securities laws, and are subject to resale restrictions. We granted registration rights to the investors in this private placement and will use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file with the SEC, within 120 days of closing, a registration statement under the Securities Act and to cause such statement to be declared effective. The proceeds of this offering will be applied to fund the continuation of our exploration and development program on the Borealis Property.

Fiscal 2008 Plan

During fiscal 2008, we plan to continue extension drilling, focused on the expansion of the Graben deposit and exploration drilling for new gold deposits within the two newly identified potentially gold-bearing hydrothermal systems in the pediments.

The following activities are planned for the duration of fiscal 2008:

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Unaudited Interim Financial Statements and related notes. The discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations are based upon the unaudited interim financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of any contingent liabilities at the financial statement date and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, we review our estimates and assumptions. The estimates were based on historical experience and other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results are likely to differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions, but we do not believe such differences will materially affect our financial position or results of operations. Critical accounting policies, the policies we believe are most important to the presentation of the financial statements and require the most difficult, subjective and complex judgments, are outlined below in "Critical Accounting Policies," and have not changed significantly.

We use words like "expects," "believes," "intends," "anticipates," "plans," "targets," "projects" or "estimates" in this quarterly report. When used, these words and other, similar words and phrases or statements that an event, action or result "will," "may," "could," or "should" occur, be taken or be achieved identify "forward-looking" statements. Such forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including, the risks and uncertainties outlined in Exhibit 99.1 titled "Risk Factors and Uncertainties", which Exhibit is hereby incorporated by reference. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, believed, estimated or expected. Our management has included projections and estimates in this quarterly report, which are based primarily on management’s experience in the industry, assessments of our results of operations, discussions and negotiations with third parties and a review of information filed by our competitors with the Securities and Exchange Commission or otherwise publicly available. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. We disclaim any obligation subsequently to revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.

We qualify all the forward-looking statements contained in this quarterly report by the foregoing cautionary statements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our unaudited interim financial statements is in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The following are critical accounting policies and estimates which we believe are important to understanding our financial results.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions which affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the revenues and expenses for the period reported. By their nature, these estimates are subject to measurement uncertainty and the effect on the financial statements of changes in such estimates in future periods could be significant. Actual results will likely differ from these estimates.

Revenue recognition

Mineral lease rentals or option payments are treated as reductions of the cost of the property as the payor is accumulating an interest in the mineral property; payments in excess of capitalized costs are recognized in income. Some agreements provide for payments in the form of stock and other equity instruments as well as cash payments. Stock and other equity instruments are recognized based on their fair market value at the time of receipt. Fluctuations incurred during the holding period are accounted for as gains or losses from held for trading securities. Privately held stock, or stock that is not currently trading is valued at zero. The leases provide for the receipt of royalty payments upon production of the property. Royalty payments will be recognized in the period in which production occurs. There are no properties in the production stage at this time.

21


Exploration of mineral property interests

We expense exploration costs as they are incurred. When we determine that a mining deposit can be economically and legally extracted or produced based on established proven and probable reserves, development costs incurred after such determination will be capitalized. The establishment of proven and probable reserves is based on results of final feasibility studies which indicate whether a property is economically feasible. Upon commencement of commercial production, we will transfer capitalized costs to the appropriate asset category and amortize them over their estimated useful lives and/or ounces produced, as appropriate. We capitalize the cost of acquiring mineral property interests (including original claim establishment) until we have determined the viability of the property. We expense capitalized acquisition costs if we determine that the property has no future economic value and ongoing claim maintenance costs. We will also write down capitalized amounts if estimated future cash flows, including potential sales proceeds, related to the mineral property are estimated to be less than the carrying value of the property.

Stock-based compensation

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard 123R, Share-Based Payment, ("SFAS 123 (R)") a revision to SFAS 123. SFAS 123(R) requires all share-based payments to be recognized in the financial statements based on their values using either a modified-prospective or modified-retrospective transition method.

Prior to March 31, 2006, the Company’s stock-based employee compensation plans were accounted for under the recognition and measurement provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion ("APB") No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25") and related interpretations, as permitted by FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123"). The Company did not recognize employee stock-based compensation costs in its statement of operations for the periods prior to March 31, 2006, as all options granted had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of the grant.

Effective April 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), using the modified-prospective-transition method. The Company’s total employees are relatively few in number and turnover is considered remote, therefore the Company currently estimates forfeitures to be 5.5%. Estimation of forfeitures will be reviewed on a quarterly basis.

Asset retirement obligations

The Company records the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability in the period in which it incurs a legal obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that results from the acquisition, construction, development or normal use of the assets with a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. This amount is then depreciated over the estimated useful life of the asset. Over time, the liability is increased to reflect an interest element considered in its initial measurement at fair value. The amount of the liability will be subject to re-measurement at each reporting period. Currently, the Company has a reclamation liability of $5,600 which is disclosed further in Note 8 of the financial statements.

Tax valuation allowance

We have recorded a valuation allowance that fully reserves for our deferred tax assets because at this time we cannot establish that we will be able to utilize the tax loss carryforwards in the future. If in the future we determine that we will be able to use all or a portion of our deferred tax assets in the future, based on our projections of future taxable income, we will reduce the valuation allowance, thereby increasing income in that period.

22


Foreign currency translation

The United States dollar is our functional currency. Transactions involving foreign currencies for items included in operations are translated into U.S. dollars using average exchange rates; monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date and all other balance sheet items are translated at the historical rates applicable to the transactions that comprise those amounts. Translation gains and losses are included in our determination of net income.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission recently announced that it would provide for a phased-in implementation process for FASB Statement No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment ("SFAS 123(R)"). Registrants must adopt SFAS 123(R)'s fair value method of accounting for share-based payments to employees no later than the beginning of the first annual period beginning after December 15, 2005. We adopted SFAS 123(R) effective April 1, 2006.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board ratified the consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force that stripping costs incurred during the production phase of a mine are variable production costs that should be included in the costs of the inventory produced during the period that the stripping costs are incurred. This consensus is effective for the first reporting period in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005, with early adoption permitted. To date the Company has not incurred any stripping costs.

In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB interpretation No. 48 – Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in tax return. This Interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. This interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of FIN 48 will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements ("SFAS 157"). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the Board having previously concluded in those pronouncements that fair value is a relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this Statement does not require any new fair value measurements. However, the application of this Statement will change current practice, effective April 1, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 157 will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Results of Operations

We are in an exploration stage and currently have no producing mineral properties and thus we had no revenues during all reporting periods.

Three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to three months ended September 30, 2006

For the three months ended September 30, 2007 we had a net loss of $2,500,535 or $0.04 per share compared to a net loss of $1,871,080 or $0.05 per share in the same period in the prior year, as spending on our exploration activities on the Borealis property increased by $207,223 and we incurred additional one-time costs related to a transition agreement for an employee and director.

Exploration expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2007 were $1,274,926 or 50% of our total expenses compared to $1,067,703 or 55% of total expenses in the prior year. During the second quarter ended September 30, 2007 we completed drilling 10 holes, totaling 12,080 feet (3,682 meters) compared to completing 7 holes totaling 10,395 feet (3,168 meters) in prior year’s comparable period. The increase in spending was related to continuation of the exploration drilling program and progressing on building a geologic model of the Graben deposit on our Borealis property. A Controlled Source Audio-Frequency Magnetotelluric geophysical study was also completed late in the second quarter of 2007.

23


Management salaries and consulting fees in the quarter ended September 30, 2007 were $695,068 compared to $482,009 incurred in the quarter ended September 30, 2006 due to the one-time cost of a transition agreement for an employee and director. The cost of the transition agreement was $322,464, including non-cash costs of $81,235. The majority of the cash costs will be paid out over an 18 month period. Excluding the cost of the transition agreement, management salaries and consulting fees would have totaled $372,604 for the quarter ended September 30, 2007, a decrease of 23% from the prior years comparable quarter. This decrease is related to the closure of the Denver engineering office during late 2006. Total non-cash compensation costs included in the quarter ended September 30, 2007 were $271,462 versus $225,691 in the prior year’s comparable quarter.

General and administrative costs for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 was $314,743 compared to $240,176 for the quarter ended September 30, 2006. Investor relations costs increased by $40,000 and filing fees increased by $79,000, during the comparable periods. Legal and audit fees for the period increased to $126,560 from $87,393 for the three months ended September 30, 2006, and is mainly due to costs associated with being a public company that reports in both Canada and the United States, and registering stock issued under private placements. Travel and accommodation expense during the quarter ended September 30, 2007 was $51,052, compared to $65,762 expended on travel in the prior year's comparable quarter. The decrease is due to cost savings from closing the Denver office in the prior year and fewer property site visits. Interest income earned on cash deposits was $55,411 for the quarter ended September 30, 2007, compared to $84,102 in the prior year quarter due to lower average cash balances then the prior quarter. Interest expense was $58,553 during the quarter ended September 30, 2007 due to the issue of a convertible promissory note as partial payment for the purchase of the membership interest of Nevada Eagle Resources LLC in August 2007.

Six months ended September 30, 2007 compared to Six months ended September 30, 2006

For the six month period ended September 30, 2007 we incurred a net loss of $4,727,088 or $0.09 per share compared to a net loss of $3,871,214 or $0.10 per share incurred during the same period in the prior year, as spending increased on our exploration activities, along the one-time cost of the transition agreement and higher corporate administration costs.

Exploration expenses during the six month period ended September 30, 2007 were $2,753,398 or 57% of our total expenses compared to $2,321,218 or 57% of total expenses in the prior year. During the current year we have drilled a total of 26 holes at the Borealis property, representing 30,970 feet (9.440 meters) compared to 26 holes representing 23,395 feet (7,130 meters). Although the number of holes completed is the same for the two years, there was an increase of 32% for total number of feet drilled.

Management salaries and consulting fees in the six months ended September 30, 2007 were $1,133,431 compared to $890,602 for the same period in the prior year. The increase is due to the recognition of $322,464 in one-time costs for the transition agreement covering a single employee and director including non-cash costs of $81,235. The majority of the cash costs will be paid out over an 18 month period. Excluding the cost of the transition agreement, management salaries and consulting fees would have totaled $810,967 for the six months ended September 30, 2007, a decrease of 9% from the prior year’s comparable period. This decrease is to the closure of the Denver engineering office during late 2006. Total non-cash compensation costs included in the six months ended September 30, 2007 were $484,494 versus $250,064 in the prior year’s comparable period.

Legal and audit fees for the six month period increased to $197,857 from $164,759 incurred in the prior year’s comparable period. The higher costs reported in the six months ended September 30, 2007 were associated with increases that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2007 and are identified above. Travel and accommodation during the six months ended September 30, 2007 was $103,704, compared to $185,439 reported in prior year six month period ended September 30, 2006. The decrease was due to a reduction is site visits and the closure of the Denver engineering office in late 2006. General and administrative expenses were $557,605, versus $481,218 in the prior year’s comparable period. The increase is due to higher spending on investor relations and filing fees. Interest income earned on cash deposits was $129,550 for the six months ended September 30, 2007, compared to $176,529 for the six months ended September 30, 2006, due to lower average cash balances during the six month period. Interest expense totaled $58,553 and arose from the issuance of a convertible promissory note related to the purchase of Nevada Eagle Resources LLC on August 21, 2007. $28,367 of the interest expense is non-cash.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal source of liquidity is cash that is raised by way of sale of common stock from treasury and other equity securities.

At September 30, 2007, we had working capital of $2,798,040. Current assets consisted of $3,927,854 in cash, $57,556 in accounts receivable and $75,057 in prepaid expenses. We had $1,262,427 in current liabilities at September 30, 2007, consisting of $1,223,812 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and $38,615 related to the current portion of capital leases. The increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities compared to the balance at March 31, 2007 is related to increased exploration costs and the recognition of the transition agreement that will be paid over 18 months.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2007, we used cash in operating activities of $1,569,584, which included our net loss during the quarter of $2,500,535, offset by depreciation of $16,390, non-cash compensation of $271,462 and changes in non-cash working capital of $29,696 decrease for accounts receivable, $416,128 increase for accounts payable and $162,356 decrease for pre-paid expenses. We used cash in investing activities of $3,022,314, including $3,048,176 for the purchase of Nevada Eagle LLC, $45,000 for reclamation deposits, $16,391 for equipment purchases and a decrease of $103,813 in deferred acquisition costs. Financing activities provided cash of $3,536,866, which included $3,879,197 from the issuance of shares in connection with a private placement, offset by capital lease principal payments of $5,917. Cash decreased during the period by $1,050,032 to $3,927,854 as at September 30, 2007.

Under the terms of the acquisition agreement for Nevada Eagle Resources LLC a cash payment of $2,500,000 was made on August 21, 2007. Refer to the section ‘Contractual Obligations’ under this document for a full description of the acquisition and commitment.

On August 3, 2007, we completed a private placement of 5,000,000 units at Cdn$0.80 for net proceeds of approximately Cdn$3.82 million. Each unit consisted of one common share and one series G warrant. Each series G warrant entitles the holder to purchase a common share at a price of Cdn$1.00 per share in year one and Cdn$1.25 per share in year two until expiry. Compensation warrants (series H) of 265,050 were issued to agents and are exercisable until May 2, 2008 at a price of Cdn$0.83 per share. We have a right to force warrant holders to exercise warrants, if the price of our common stock remains equal to or greater than, Cdn$1.85 per common share, for a period of twenty consecutive days. With the receipt of these funds we believe we have sufficient working capital to fund our drilling program, costs related to lease and claim maintenance fees and general and administrative expenses for the next 12 months.

Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement we closed with Gerald W. Baughman and Fabiola Baughman, as sellers, and Nevada Eagle, we acquired Nevada Eagle from the Baughman’s for the following consideration, paid on August 21, 2007:

(a)

$2,500,000 in cash;

(b)

four million five hundred thousand (4,500,000) shares of our common stock; and

(c)

a 5% convertible note in the principal amount of $5,000,000.

26


The Convertible Note, due March 30, 2010, bears interest at the annual rate of 5% and is convertible at the option of the holder into common shares at an initial conversion price of $1.00 per common share during first the twelve month period following the Closing Date, $1.25 per common share during the second twelve month period following the Closing Date, $1.50 per common share thereafter and $1.75 per common share if converted on March 10, 2007. The interest payments are due each January 1 and June 1, beginning on January 1, 2008. In addition to the purchase consideration, the Sellers will be entitled to all revenues of Nevada Eagle (payable in cash, stock, or other consideration) calculated to be received and received on the assets and properties from January 1, 2007 through midnight on December 31, 2007.

In addition, granted the Sellers registration rights under which we agreed to file (within the later of (i) 90 days of the Closing Date or (ii) any date in which we are required to file a registration statement for a third-party in connection with a financing or acquisition, but no later than 120 days of the Closing Date) a resale registration statement to register the common shares issuable at Closing and issuable upon exercise of the Convertible Note under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. We also entered into an Employment Agreement with Mr. Baughman for a term of one year, renewable by the parties, to serve as our Vice President of Corporate Development.

Item 3. Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the specified time periods. As of the end of the period covered by this report, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation, which disclosed no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective and that our disclosure controls and procedures were adequately designed and are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in applicable rules and forms. In addition, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have determined that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that are filed under the Exchange Act are accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13(a)-15(f) or 15(d)-15(f)) that occurred during the company’s most recent fiscal quarter and the period covered by this quarterly report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings.

Except as provided below, neither we nor any of our property, including the Borealis Property, are currently subject to any material legal proceedings or other regulatory proceedings and to our knowledge no such proceedings are contemplated. On September 16, 2005, our subsidiary, Borealis Mining Company, was named as a co-defendant in an ongoing civil action pending in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada, entitled United States v. Walker River Irrigation District (Court Doc. No. In Equity C-125, Subfile C-125-B). The action seeks to determine the existence and extent of water rights held by the federal government in the Walker River drainage area for use on federally reserved lands such as Indian reservations, National Forests, military reservations, and the like. The suit does not dispute nor seek to invalidate any existing water rights (including ours); rather, it seeks to determine the extent and priority of the federal government’s water rights. On May 27, 2003, the Court stayed all proceedings to allow the United States, the State of Nevada, the State of California, the Walker River Paiute Tribe, the Walker River Irrigation District, Mono County, California, Lyon County, Nevada, Mineral County, Nevada and the Walker Lake Working Group to attempt to mediate a settlement. Borealis Mining Company was named as one of several hundred co-defendants in this action because it owns water rights within a portion of the Walker River drainage area in Nevada, which were granted under a permit on September 16, 2005. We, like most private water right owners, do not intend to participate in the merits of the lawsuit. We do not believe that this civil action, which will determine the extent and priority of federally reserved water rights in the area, will have any effect on our planned business operations as we currently have permits to access water from two sites for our Borealis Property, one of which is not subject to this action and either of which, individually, would provide a sufficient water supply under our approved plan of operation.

Item 2.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2007, we have offered and sold the following securities in unregistered transactions pursuant to exemptions under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Securities Issued in Acquisition of Nevada Eagle

On August 21, 2007, we closed the acquisition of Nevada Eagle pursuant to a membership interest purchase agreement dated July 4, 2007, by and between Gryphon Gold, as buyer, Gerald W. Baughman and Fabiola Baughman, as sellers ("Sellers"), and Nevada Eagle. Under the Purchase Agreement, we acquired all of the outstanding limited liability company interests of Nevada Eagle from the Sellers. We issued the following unregistered securities as part of the purchase price:

(a)

4,500,000 shares of common stock of the Company (the "Common Shares") valued at $3,449,418; and

(b)

a 5% convertible note in the principal amount of $5,000,000 (the "Convertible Note") with an issue date of August 21, 2007 and a fair value of $3,390,640.

The Convertible Note, due March 30, 2010, bears interest at an annual rate of 5% and is convertible at the option of the holder into common shares of the Registrant at an initial conversion price of $1.00 per share during first the twelve-month period following the Closing Date, $1.25 per share during the second twelve-month period following the Closing Date, $1.50 per share thereafter, and $1.75 per share if converted on March 30, 2010. The interest payments are due on a semi-annual basis beginning on January 1, 2008. Each of the Sellers is an accredited investor. We issued the Common Shares and the Convertible Note in a private transaction exempt from the registration requirements under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. We granted the Sellers registration rights under which we agreed to file, within the later of (i) 90 days of the Closing Date or (ii) any date in which we are required to file a registration statement for a third-party in connection with a financing or acquisition, but no later than 120 days of the Closing Date, a resale registration statement under the Securities Act to register the Common Shares issuable at Closing and the common shares of the Company issuable upon exercise of the Convertible Note

Securities Issued in Private Placement

On August 3, 2007, we completed a private placement of 5,000,000 units at Cdn$0.80 for gross proceeds of approximately Cdn$4,000,000. Each unit consisted of one common share and one series G warrant. Each series G warrant entitles the holder to purchase a common share at a price of Cdn$1.00 per share during the first 12 months after closing and Cdn$1.25 per share during the second 12 months after closing and until expiry. We paid qualified registered dealers a 7% cash commission in the amount of Cdn$152,040 and issued compensation options to acquire 265,050 common shares (at a price of Cdn$0.83 per share for a period of 9 months from closing) in respect of the 2,715,000 million units placed by them. We have a right to force warrant holders to exercise warrants, if the price of our common stock remains equal to or greater than, Cdn$1.85 per common share, for a period of twenty consecutive days. The shares, warrants and underlying shares were not qualified by prospectus in Canada. The shares, warrants and underlying shares of the private placement were not registered under the Securities Act or the laws of any state, and are subject to resale restrictions and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. The shares, warrants and underlying securities were placed in the United States pursuant to exemptions from registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Section 4(2) and/or 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act and outside the United States in off-shore transactions pursuant to Rule 903 of Regulation S of the Securities Act, such exemptions being available based on information obtained from the investors to the private placement. We granted registration rights to the investors in this private placement and will use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file with the SEC, within 120 days of closing, a registration statement under the Securities Act and to cause such statement to be declared effective.
