Item 8.01  Other Events


On August 2, 2007, Little Squaw Gold Mining Company (LITS:OTC.BB -- $0.95) (“Little Squaw” or “the Company”) announced that progress is currently ahead of schedule on its aggressive 2007 placer drilling program.  The Company has now completed 5,770 feet of drilling in 44 boreholes in the highly promising placer gold prospect of the Little Squaw Creek drainage on its Chandalar, Alaska mining property.  Initial field processing of drill samples taken at continuous 5-foot intervals shows trace gold in the glacial overburden and systematically disseminated gold in potentially economic quantities throughout the alluvium of the placer target zone.  As expected, these concentrations are particularly rich upon the bedrock contact. Laboratory sample analyses are being completed by an independent firm in Fairbanks and thus far reveal the presence of 850 fineness (20.4 carat) gold particles in grades of economic interest ranging from $6 - $163 per cubic yard (based upon $600/oz. gold).  


Additional information is available in the press release attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
