The Schedule 13D relates to shares of common stock, par value $0.10 per share (“Common Stock”)of Little Squaw Gold Mining Company, an Alaska corporation (the “Issuer”) held by Forza Partners and held in a separate account managed by Forza Capital, for which Forza Capital has the power to dispose of the Common Stock held in such account (the “Managed Account”).
     This Amendment is being filed to amend Items 3, 5, 6 and 7 of the Schedule 13D.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds
          As of the date hereof, the Filers had invested in Common Stock of the Issuer in the amount of: $2,989,783.80 through Forza Partners, and in addition, Forza Capital and Messrs. Atkinson and Frazier have voting and/or dispositive power over Common Stock held in the Managed Account. Currently, 6,136,122 shares of Common Stock are held by Forza Partners and 400,000 shares of Common Stock are held in the Managed Account. The source of funds held by Forza Partners was the working capital of each of the Filers.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

1. Forza Capital and Messrs. Atkinson and Frazier may be deemed to beneficially own 6,536,122 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, which represents 23.2% of the Issuer’s outstanding shares of Common Stock, which such percentage was calculated by dividing (i) 6,536,122, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Forza Capital and Messrs. Atkinson and Frazier as of the date hereof (which was calculated by adding (a) 4,815,510, the number of shares of Common Stock held by Forza Partners plus (b) 1,300,000, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of warrants held by Forza Partners plus (c) 400,000, the number of shares of Common Stock held in the Managed Account), by (ii) 28,131,706 shares of outstanding Common Stock (which was calculated by adding (x) 26,831,706, the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of October 20, 2006, based upon the Issuer’s most current Form 10-QSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 14, 2006 plus (y) 1,300,000, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of warrants held by Forza Partners).

          (b) Forza Capital, as general partner of Forza Partners, has the power to vote and/or dispose of the 6,136,122 shares of Common Stock held by Forza Partners, and as the investment manager for the Managed Account, has the power to dispose of the 400,000 Shares of Common Stock held in the Managed Account.

          The filing of this statement on Schedule 13D shall not be construed as an admission that the Filers are for the purposes of Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the beneficial owner of any of the shares of Common Stock held by Forza Partners or the Managed Account. Pursuant to Rule 13d-4, the Filers disclaim all such beneficial ownership.
          (c) The transactions in the Issuer’s securities by the Filers from the date sixty days prior to this Amendment are listed as Annex A attached hereto and made a part hereof, unless such transactions were previously reported on the Schedule 13D.
          (d) Not Applicable.
          (e) Not Applicable.
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer
          On January 31, 2006 (“Closing Date 1”) and February 24, 2006 (“Closing Date 2”, each Closing Date 1 and Closing Date 2, a “Closing Date”), the Issuer closed a private placement with Forza Partners, by which Forza Partners received Class B Warrants to purchase 1,000,000 and 300,000 shares, respectively, of Common Stock at an exercise price of US$0.35 per share during the one-year period commencing on the respective Closing Date, US$0.50 per share during the second year following the respective Closing Date, and US$0.65 per share during the third year following the respective Closing Date.
