Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)
1.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
The unaudited financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information, as well as the instructions to Form 10-QSB. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Companys management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial statements have been included. Operating results for the six-month period ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2007.
For further information refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Net Loss Per Share
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings per Share, requires dual presentation of earnings per share (EPS) and diluted EPS on the face of all income statements issued after December 15, 1997, for all entities with complex capital structures. Basic EPS is computed as net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through stock options, warrants, and other convertible securities. The dilutive effect of convertible and exercisable securities would be:
June 30, | June 30, | |
For periods ended | 2007 | 2006 |
Stock options | 515,000 | 440,000 |
Selling agent options | 150,600 | - |
Warrants | 4,763,107 | 9,597,000 |
Convertible debenture | 5,000,000 | 5,000,000 |
Total possible dilution | 10,428,707 | 15,037,000 |
For the periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, the effect of the Companys outstanding options and common stock equivalents would have been anti-dilutive. Accordingly, only basic EPS is presented.
Adoption of New Accounting Principles
On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3. The Statement establishes, unless impracticable, retrospective application as the required method for reporting a change in accounting principle in the absence of explicit transition requirements specific to the newly adopted accounting principle. The adoption of this Statement had no material impact on the Companys financial position or result of operations.
On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted SFAS No. 155 Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments, which amends SFAS No. 133 Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities and SFAS No. 140 Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. SFAS No. 155 resolves issues addressed in Statement 133 Implementation Issue No. D1
Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets, and:

BASIS OF PRESENTATION, continued:
·
Permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation;
·
Clarifies which interest-only strips are not subject to the requirements of SFAS No. 133;
·
Establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation;
·
Clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives; and
·
Amends SFAS No. 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument.
The Company adopted SFAS No. 155 using the modified prospective transition method, which requires the application of the accounting standard as of January 1, 2007. There was no impact on the financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2007 as a result of the adoption of SFAS No 155. In accordance with the modified prospective transition method, the financial statements for prior periods have not been restated to reflect, and do not include, the impact of SFAS No. 155.
On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted SFAS No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140. This Statement amended SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, with respect to the accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. The adoption of this Statement had no material impact on the Companys financial position or results of operations.
On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48 (FIN No. 48) Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, FIN No. 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in accordance with SFAS No. 109 Accounting for Income Taxes, prescribing a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. In the course of our assessment, we have determined that we are subject to examination of our income tax filings in the United States and state jurisdictions for the 2003 through 2006 tax years. In the event that the Company is assessed penalties and or interest; penalties will be charged to other operating expense and interest will be charged to interest expense.
The Company adopted FIN No. 48 using the modified prospective transition method, which requires the application of the accounting standard as of January 1, 2007. There was no impact on the financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2007 as a result of the adoption of FIN No. 48. In accordance with the modified prospective transition method, the financial statements for prior periods have not been restated to reflect, and do not include, the impact of FIN No. 48.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS no. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (SFAS 159), which will permit entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains on items for which the fair value option has been elected are to be reported in earnings. SFAS 159 will become effective in our 2008 financial statements. We have not yet determined the effect that adoption of SFAS 159 may have on our results of operations or financial position.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION, continued:
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS no. 157, Fair Value Measurements, (SFAS 157), which will become effective in our 2008 financial statements. SFAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about fair value measurements, but does not require any new fair value measurements. We have not yet determined the effect that adoption of SFAS 157 may have on our results of operations or financial position.

RECLASSIFICATIONS:
The Statement of Operations presented herein contains reclassifications of expenses for the Inception to Date (March 26, 1959) through June 30, 2007 to conform to revisions in the Companys financial reporting. The nature of these reclassifications was to segregate Exploration Expenses and report them as a separate item on the Statements of Operations. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported Net Loss or Loss per Share for the periods.
3.
2003 SHARE INCENTIVE PLAN:
As of January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123(R)), which requires the measurement of the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of an equity instrument on the grant-date fair value of the award. The Company has chosen to use the modified prospective transition method under SFAS 123(R). The Companys financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2007 reflect the impact of this adoption.
During the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company recognized stock based compensation of $78,000. Stock-based non-cash compensation expense recognized under SFAS 123(R) for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $58,715, which is the total weighted average grant-date fair value of the options granted and vested during the period, and was recorded to Professional services and Other general and administrative expenses in the Unaudited Statement of Operations. The effect of the adoption of SFAS 123(R) on basic loss per share was nil.
Stock Options:
Under the Companys Restated 2003 Share Incentive Plan (the Plan), options to purchase shares of common stock may be granted to key employees, contract management and directors of the Company. The Plan permits the granting of nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options and shares of common stock. Upon exercise of options, shares of common stock are issued from the Companys treasury stock or, if insufficient treasury shares are available, from authorized but unissued shares. Options are granted at a price equal to the closing price of the common stock on the date of grant. The stock options are generally exercisable immediately upon grant and for a period of 10 years. In the event of cessation of the holders relationship with the Company, the holders exercise period terminates 6 months following such cessation. A total of 1,200,000 shares are authorized under the Plan, of which 475,000 restricted common shares have been issued and are included in the outstanding shares of the Company.

2003 SHARE INCENTIVE PLAN, continued:
Stock Options, Continued:
For the period ended June 30, 2007, the fair value of stock options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which requires the use of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected volatility of the stock price, which may be difficult to estimate for small business issuers traded on micro-cap stock exchanges. The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the grant date using the following weighted average assumptions:
Risk-free interest rate
4.58% - 4.79%
Expected dividend yield
--
Expected term
10 years
Expected volatility
109% - 128%
The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve at the time of the grant. The expected term of stock options granted is the 10-year life of the grant. The expected volatility is based on historical volatility.
A summary of stock option transactions for the six months ended June 30, 2007 is as follows:
Shares | Weighted-Average Exercise Price (per share) | Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (Years) | |
Options outstanding at the beginning of the period | 415,000 | $ 0.38 | |
Granted | 100,000 | $ 1.07 | |
Exercised | 0 | $ 0.00 | |
Forfeited | 0 | $ 0.00 | |
Options outstanding at the end of the period | 515,000 | $ 0.51 | 8.4 |

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition or Plan of Operation
Plan of Operation
We, Little Squaw Gold Mining Company, are a minerals company in the business of acquiring and advancing mineral properties to the discovery point, where we believe maximum shareholder returns can be realized. Little Squaw is an exploration-stage company as defined by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). We are, and intend to remain, solely an exploration stage company because management considers that most of a companys value is created during the discovery phase. That is, based on capital returns, the payback for successful exploration is very high.
None of the properties that we own or control contain any known probable (indicated) or proven (measured) ore reserves under the definition of ore reserves within SEC Industry Guide 7. Although there is a history of past lode and placer production on our Chandalar property, the property is at an early stage of exploration. A great deal of further work is required on our properties before a final determination as to the economic and legal feasibility of a mining venture there can be made. There is no assurance that a commercially viable deposit will be proven through exploration efforts by us at Chandalar. We cannot assure you that funds expended on our properties will be successful in leading to the delineation of ore reserves that meet the criteria established under SEC mining industry reporting guidelines.
We do not intend to conduct mining operations on our own account at this time. Rather we plan to undertake cost efficient and effective exploration activities to discover mineralization and potentially mineral reserves, which may upgrade the value of the properties and then joint venture or sell the properties to qualified major mining companies. We intend to focus our activities only on projects that are primarily gold deposits.
At this time we have three exploration stage mineral properties. Our principal property is in Alaska and is referred to as the Chandalar property. A second property is in Nevada, and is known as the Broken Hills West property. In March of 2007, we acquired the Pedra de Fogo (Rock of Fire) gold exploration property in Goias State, south central Brazil. Our focus during 2007 will continue to be the trenching and drilling exploration of the Chandalar property while surface evaluation activities involving geochemical and geophysical surveys are conducted on the Nevada and Brazil properties in preparation for possible drilling exploration in 2008 and beyond. With the acquisition of the Nevada and Brazil properties, our exploration field activities will not be restricted to just the summer months as it is in Alaska.
Chandalar, Alaska
The Chandalar property is located approximately 190 air miles NNW of Fairbanks, Alaska, and 48 miles NE of Coldfoot, in the Chandalar mining district. The center of the district is approximately 70 miles north of the Arctic Circle. The Company owns in fee 426.5 acres of patented federal mining claims consisting of 21 lode claims, one placer claim and one mill site. We control 14,206.5 acres of unpatented State of Alaska mining claims consisting of 120 claims. State mining claims provide exploration and mining rights to both lode and placer mineral deposits. The claims are contiguous, comprising a block covering 14,633 acres (22.9 square miles) and are being maintained by us specifically for future exploration activities to locate placer and lode gold deposits.
Arctic climate limits exploration activities to a summer field season that generally starts in early May and lasts until freeze up in mid-September. There are many operating mines located elsewhere within North America that are located above the Arctic Circle. Management believes year-round operations at Chandalar are feasible should an exploitable deposit of gold be proven through seasonal exploration activities.
11
Progress in the 2007 Exploration Program
As the short exploration season advances in the Alaskan arctic, developments on the Chandalar property are proceeding well. These developments fall into three key categories: 1) delineation of a large placer gold deposit recently identified by drilling in Little Squaw Creek, 2) development of hard-rock gold prospects at a number of promising sites along geologic faults crossing the property, and 3) completion of an extensive geophysical program related to enhancing the hard-rock gold exploration program. Additionally, considerable upgrading of the local infrastructure is being accomplished, including new roads, extension of the Squaw Lake airstrip and an upgraded exploration base camp.
Results of Exploratory Drilling in Little Squaw Creek Drainage
This exploration front involves reverse circulation (RC) rotary drilling of the Little Squaw Creek gravels (or alluvium) to eventually establish placer gold reserves that are compliant with SEC Industry Guide 7 criteria.
The original 1905 gold strike in Little Squaw Creek consisted of gold nuggets showing in the gravel beds of the upper reaches of the creek where old records show about 30,000 ounces of gold averaging one ounce per cubic yard were produced (including nuggets ranging up to 10 ounces). The geology of the creek drainage is highly favorable for vastly larger but lower grade placer gold deposits, the nature and extent of which were beyond the development capabilities of early miners. We realized the large undeveloped prospective zone in the creek drainage as an attractive discovery target which is now bearing good results.
An extensive delineation drilling program designed to determine the extent of this promising find was initiated during the quarter ended June 30, 2007, and is now well underway. Current focus is on a buried, ancient alluvial fan or braided stream channel in the lower reaches of the creek. This program incorporates a reverse-circulation rotary drill and involves a grid consisting of 10 lines of boreholes spaced 500 feet apart that are perpendicular to Little Squaw Creek from its upper reaches to beyond the outlet of the stream valley. These holes are spaced 50 feet apart along the drill lines and range from 150 to 200 feet in depth.
Twenty of the boreholes completed to date represent 3,287 feet of vertical sampling horizon. The drilling objective is to determine the particulate gold content in the gravels of the historical water channel, which is geologically the most promising prospect for alluvial gold deposition, as well as its right and left limits. Substrate samples are collected continuously every 5 feet down the boreholes and are processed via a sophisticated sample-reduction process that recovers the native gold contained in the drill cuttings. This process starts in the field and is finished in a laboratory, where mechanical gold separation is completed. The recovered gold is then weighed on electronic scales accurate to a tenth of a milligram, and calculations are made to determine the content of gold in each cubic yard of gravel. This work is in progress, and we will release the factual results when it is completed.
The drilling has found a near-surface layer of glacial clays 50 to 80 feet thick containing traces of gold mineralization. This layer overlies a 30 to 100-foot-thick layer of mineralized material consisting of gold-bearing stream gravel sitting atop bedrock. The quantities of native gold being systematically recovered from the drill samples indicate that potentially economic levels of gold exist in the extensive subsurface gravel stratum. The holes completed during the most recent quarter are mainly on lines spanning the lower Little Squaw Creek valley. The right limit of the historical alluvial fan has been partially established, as has a 300 400 foot wide bedrock trough underlying the alluvial fan. The thickest sample runs of attractive drill hole gold recoveries occur within this bedrock depression. Once the left limit has been defined, it will be possible to create a preliminary volumetric estimate of the extent of this potentially very large placer horizon.
The 2007 exploration and discovery plan calls for some 100 holes in the Little Squaw Creek valley, and the program is proceeding as planned. We are currently performing ahead of schedule on our aggressive 2007 placer drilling program. In early August, subsequent to the end of the reported period, we announced that we
12
had completed 5,770 feet of drilling in 44 boreholes in the highly promising placer gold prospect of the Little Squaw Creek drainage. Initial field processing of drill samples taken at continuous 5-foot intervals showed 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 were 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).
The mapped geomorphology coupled with emerging evidence provided by borehole penetrations leads us to believe the Little Squaw Creek placer gold horizon is a relatively large, intact ancient fluvial fan of stream gravels and cobbles hidden under 60 - 80 feet of glacial outwash mud, lying on a bedrock floor of schist.
The subsurface boundaries of the mineralized horizon are open in all directions, although it appears to thin with a rising bedrock contact to the east (the right limit of the drainage) and considerably thickens as the bedrock contact deepens to the west (the left limit of the drainage). Noteworthy drill intercepts of very high placer gold grades have been obtained at or near the right limit.
The matrix of mineralized boreholes clearly show the Little Squaw Creek placer gold prospect exceeds a million square feet, and is hosted within an ancient, fluvial fan ranging from 25 - 125 feet thick. The total volume of mineralized horizon may well range into the millions of cubic yards.
We believe the gold-bearing gravel bed in the Little Squaw Creek drainage is comparable to the paystreaks of many historic placer deposits in Alaska that were profitable mining ventures. Its easy accessibility near our newly expanded airstrip complements the promising hard-rock exploration effort also underway on the Chandalar property.
Hard-Rock Exploration
Historical workings and records clearly indicate that gold deposits of economic significance have been mined in the past on the Chandalar property. These workings were limited to exposed surface veins of quartz. We have undertaken exhaustive geological mapping and rock and soils geochemical surveys involving thousands of assay samples to establish where these interesting veins may be reflecting a substantial gold deposit, perhaps with large associated zones of disseminated gold mineralization in their enclosing rock formation.
This effort is progressing better than expected from a strategic perspective, and a series of trenching of targets aimed at yielding refined drilling targets for large gold deposits has been established. An aggressive trenching program involving several thousand feet of aggregate length in some 30 trenches on up to a dozen sites carefully selected for their gold-bearing geological potential commenced during the most recent quarter. Bedrock mineralization exposed by this trenching will be subjected to intensive channel sampling. Diamond core drilling previously planned for this year could not be accomplished due to the unavailability of core drilling contractors for the current season. Diamond core drilling of the hardrock exploration targets is being planned for as part of the 2008 exploration activities, provided funds are available and a drilling service company can be retained.
Geophysical Exploration Program
A ground magnetometer survey is being employed with significant success. Zones of suspected gold mineralization that are completely hidden by overburden have been identified. This survey is approximately half done and by the end of this field season some 100 line miles of digital magnetic data will have been created and used to identify or delineate many prospects on the property. Many of these will be exposed by trenching prior to the completion of the current exploration season.
13
Broken Hills West, Nevada
Acquisition of the Broken Hills West property in 2006 was in keeping with our goal to acquire additional gold exploration properties elsewhere in the Americas that will allow us to conduct field operations year round.
The Broken Hills West gold exploration property is located in the Fallon-Manhattan Mineral Belt of west-central Nevada in Mineral County 15 miles north of the town of Gabbs. A paved highway, State Route 361, runs through the property. The property consists of 28 unpatented federal lode mining claims, six of which were staked by us this quarter, located on U.S. Bureau of Land Management ground. The 28 mining claims, each of 20 acres size, are contiguous and constitute a single claim block of 560 acres. We have entered into a forty year mining lease with the private party who located and owns these mining claims. The lease gives us the right to explore, develop and mine the property.
The work we have done effectively defines an exploration drilling target for high-grade gold at depth within the silica vein system where it may join into a root zone along or within the major fault. In addition, the hematitic breccia has weakly anomalous gold values that may represent leakage from mineralization at depth, and the tectonic breccia may represent a separate target.
During the most recent quarter, we continued our exploration of the Broken Hills West property. We have completed a geochemical survey on approximately 450 rock and soil samples and are evaluating the results to determine what, if any, additional exploratory activities will be undertaken, and in what order, to appropriately balance the scope of our exploration objectives across all our properties.
Pedra de Fogo, Brazil
In March of 2007, we acquired the Pedra de Fogo gold exploration property in Goias State, south central Brazil. The property covers about 45 square miles (115 square kilometers) of highly prospective geologic terrain adjacent to the Crixas mining district, which has yielded over 3.5 million ounces of gold. The property is located near the town of Reisopolis and road access is excellent to most areas of interest. This acquisition extends our capabilities to conduct field work year-round.
The Pedra de Fogo property contains strong and continuous geochemical gold anomalies in stream sediments that we have confirmed through extensive due diligence sampling. We plan an aggressive exploration program to identify the source(s) of the geochemical gold anomalies, which are likely concealed by thick tropical soils.
We acquired the property under a 20-year mining lease agreement with private prospectors. The prospectors, both of whom are geologists, also provided us with a significant technical data package, including geologic, stream-sediment, and soil-geochemical maps showing strong gold anomalies within a very prospective assemblage of rocks. The mineral rights are secured by federal mining claim concessions, in which we can earn a 100 percent interest, subject to a 3 percent retained royalty.
During the quarter ended June 30, we began our initial exploration activities, with surface soil and rock samples being taken across one of the more promising areas of the property. Samples taken consisted of exposed quartz vein, loose soils, and stream bed sediments. These samples have been sent for analysis, the results of which will be announced when completed.
Corporate Expansion Developments
We continue to aggressively pursue additional exploration prospects. We have signed a letter of intent with a party in Mexico and are in the early evaluation stages of a property located in Sonora State of northern Mexico. This is in keeping with our strategy of negotiating the acquisition of high-quality, early-stage gold exploration properties in places politically favorable for mining, primarily in the continental U.S., Mexico, and Brazil.

Financial Condition and Liquidity
We are an exploration stage company and have incurred losses since our inception. We have no recurring source of revenue and our ability to continue as a going concern is dependant on our ability to raise capital to fund future exploration and working capital requirements. Our plans for the long term continuation as a going concern include financing future operations through sales of common stock and/or debt and the eventual vending or profitable development, through qualified operator partnerships, of our mining properties. Our plans may also, at some future point, include the formation of exploration, development or mining joint ventures with senior mining company partners on specific mineral properties whereby the joint venture partner would provide the necessary financing in return for equity in the property. During the second half of 2006 and the first quarter of 2007, we were successful in obtaining financing for operations through 2007.
On June 30, 2007 we had total liabilities of $1,370,665 and total assets of $5,608,330. This compares to total liabilities of $1,174,113 and total assets of about $4,933,420 on December 31, 2006. As of June 30, 2007, the Companys liabilities consist of $881,374 convertible debenture, net of discounts, $4,932 accrued interest, $50,000 for environmental clean up, and $378,330 in outstanding accounts payable. The increase in liabilities compared to December 31, 2006 is due to an increase in accounts payable and other accrued liabilities which was partially offset by a reduction in commissions payable in a private placement which closed on December 27, 2006. The increase in trade accounts payable and accrued liabilities resulted from increased vendor, contractor and employee transactions as we executed our large exploration program in the second quarter of 2007. The carrying value of the convertible debenture increased due to the continuing amortization of a discount previously recognized. The increase in total assets was due to increases in cash resulting from exercise of Class A and Class B warrants, reduced by cash payments to vendors, contractors and employees conducting exploration activities. Additionally, cash was used to acquire equipment required to conduct exploration activities, satisfy advance payment requirements to contractors, and purchase historical gold specimens for marketing and promotional purposes from a previous Company owner.
Our principal source of liquidity during the six months ended June 30, 2007 has been through debt and equity financing and exercises of warrants associated with previous private placement activities. Financing activities provided cash of $2,090,873 and $2,167,712 during the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. We used cash in operating activities of $1,641,753 and $479,636 during the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Additionally, we used a total of $1,707,616 of cash in investing activities to purchase $1,030,053 of short-term investments and $677,563 to purchase equipment during the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to $348,858 to purchase equipment and an additional $11,813 to acquire equipment through a capital lease during the six months ended June 30, 2006.
During the six months ended June 30, 2007, we issued a total of 6,494,961 shares of common stock, including 2,590,000 shares issued for Class A Warrants exercised, for net cash proceeds of $777,000, 3,425,194 issued for Class B Warrants exercised, for net cash proceeds of $1,195,934, 400,000 shares of other warrants exercised, for net cash proceeds of $140,000, 50,000 shares issued to Rodney Blakestad as part of his new employment as Vice President of Exploration, 28,767 shares issued for satisfaction of interest on the convertible debenture, and 1,000 shares issued to an existing shareholder to correct Company records related to that individuals holdings of our common stock.
Exploration costs for calendar 2007, including acquisitions of capital equipment, are expected to total approximately $3.8 million compared to approximately $1.2 million for calendar 2006. This planned increase reflects the progressive nature of the exploration activities to be conducted at the Chandalar property, as well as the beginning of exploration activities at the Broken Hills West and Pedra de Fogo properties. Additionally, due to the full employment of human resources and mineral exploration service companies (including drilling) within the mining industry, anticipated costs for drilling and other field expenses are expected to be higher for comparable services in 2007. The 2007 drilling program is intended to provide us with sufficient data to begin a feasibility study for the placer deposits in the Little Squaw Creek.
15
To meet the funding requirements of future property acquisitions and exploration activities at our properties, we anticipate continuing to explore financing opportunities, including issuing equity or debt. We believe we have sufficient funds and financing to continue operations at a fully-staffed level for the next 12 months. However, without additional successful financing during 2007 or 2008, we may not have sufficient funds to enter into a full exploration program in 2008. There can be no assurance we would be successful in completing such a securities offering on terms acceptable to us.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
On February 16, 2007, we filed a civil complaint in the Superior Court for the State of Alaska, Fourth Judicial District, at Fairbanks (Case No. 4FA-07-1131 Civil) against defendant Gold Dust Mines, Inc., and its sole owners, Delmer M. Ackels and Gail E. Ackels, alleging breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, trespass, and conversion of gold, information and personal property, and seeking quiet title, ejectment, return of property, and damages, all in relation to a dispute over claims on our Chandalar property. The complaint involves several state mining claims owned by us, covering approximately 200 acres in the Chandalar Mining District of Alaska, hereinafter referred to as the Contested Mining Claims, such Contested Mining Claims consisting of less than 1% of our current total claims at Chandalar. A full description of this filing can be found in the Legal Proceedings section of our Form 10-KSB for the year 2006, disclosed as an event occurring subsequent to the close of that year.
Gold Dust Mines has filed a response with the Court denying most of our claims. This legal action is ongoing. The court has set a jury trial date of November 24, 2008. While we expect the court to rule favorably in our behalf, we do not expect a quick resolution to this action. Should an eventual ruling be not in our favor, our ability to execute our exploration plans would not be materially affected; however, we are committed to vigorously defending our title to claims at all of our properties.
Except for the foregoing, neither we nor any of our property are currently subject to any material legal proceedings or other regulatory or governmental proceedings. We are not aware of any proceeding that a governmental authority is contemplating relating to us or our properties.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales Of Equity Securities And Use Of Proceeds
We completed the following sale of unregistered securities during the six months ended June 30, 2007:
During the six months ended June 30, 2007, we issued a total of 6,494,961 shares of common stock, including 2,590,000 shares issued for Class A Warrants exercised, for net cash proceeds of $777,000, 3,425,194 issued for Class B Warrants exercised, for net cash proceeds of $1,195,934, 400,000 shares of other warrants exercised, for net cash proceeds of $140,000, 50,000 shares issued to Rodney Blakestad as part of his new employment as Vice President of Exploration, 28,767 shares issued for satisfaction of interest on the convertible debenture, and 1,000 shares issued to an existing shareholder to correct Company records related that individuals holdings of our common stock.
