EXPLANATORY NOTE:

We are amending the Annual Report of Linux Gold Corp., on Form 20-F, that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 14, 2009 (“20-F”) for the purpose of responding to comments made by the Securities and Exchange Commission in a letter dated February 18, 2010, as follows:

  • Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects, D. Trend Information: The Company has revised its disclosure to include information about trends, uncertainties, demands, commitments and events that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our operations or financial condition, or which would cause our reported financial information to not necessarily to be indicative of future operating results or financial condition;

  • Item 15. Controls and Procedures - we have revised our disclosure to indicate there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting;

  • We inadvertently omitted the audit report of Smythe Ratcliffe LLP, covering the financial statements for the year ended February 29, 2008, in our financial statements for the year ended February 28, 2009, and have corrected this omission in the filing of our 20-F/A; and

  • We have revised our Exhibits 12.1 and 12.2 to conform to the requirements of Instruction 12 to Item 19 of the Form 20-F.

We are also updating Exhibits 13.1, 13.2 and 15.1.

Other than as expressly set forth above, this Form 20-F/A does not, and does not purport to, amend, update or restate the information in any other Item of the Form 20-F filed on September 14, 2009, or reflect any events that have occurred after the Form 20-F was filed. The filing of this Form 20-F shall not be deemed an admission that the original Form 20-F, when filed, included any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make a statement not misleading.

Any forward-looking statements included in this 20-F/A represent management’s view as of the filing date of the original 20-F. Such forward looking statements include statements about events and projections after the date of the filing of the original 20-F and are identified by words such as “believes,” “projects,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “estimates,” “intend,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “potentially,” “will,” “may” or other words that convey uncertainty of future events or outcomes. Such forward-looking statements should not be assumed to be accurate as of any future date, including the date hereof. Accordingly, this 20-F/A should be read in conjunction with the “Risk Factors” and the other statements contained in the original 20-F and the Company’s other filings made with the SEC subsequent to the filing date of the original 20-F.

ITEM 5. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS 

D.  TREND INFORMATION 

We are a mineral exploration company. Consequently, we have no production, sales, or inventory in the conventional sense. Our financial success will be dependent upon the extent to which we can discover mineralization and the economic viability of developing such properties. Such development, if initiated, may take years to complete and the amount of resulting income, if any, is difficult to determine with any certainty. We have no mineral reserves and to date have not produced any revenues. The sales value of any mineralization discovered by us is largely dependent upon factors beyond our control such as the market value of the metals produced.

Since the second half of 2008, there has been a negative trend with regard to the market for metal commodities and related products as a result of global economic uncertainty, reduced confidence in financial markets, bank failures and credit availability concerns. These macroeconomic events have negatively affected the mining and minerals sectors in general. Although these circumstances will likely improve over the longer term, the short term impact upon the Company’s liquidity and its ability to raise the capital required to execute its business plan going forward was affected. As a result, the Company was unable to complete its anticipated plans during fiscal 2009. The Company will consider its plans and options carefully in fiscal 2010.

We spent $61,885 in exploration and development costs during the year ended February 28, 2009 ($170,663 - 2008). We had anticipated that we would spend approximately $300,000 during fiscal 2009 on field sampling, mapping and geological consulting. However, due to the difficulty raising funds in the equity market we decided to postpone the exploration until it becomes cost effective again after the market recovery.

4




The major factors that caused significant reduction in net loss from 2008 to 2009 were:

  • Issue costs of $173,175 for debt raised in 2007 were amortized in 2008; such costs were fully amortized by the end of 2008 and no debt issue costs incurred in 2009;

  • Bad debt expense of $84,952 was recorded in 2008; in 2009 there was no bad debt;

  • From 2008 to 2009 consulting and subcontract fees reduced by 40% from $210,313 to $124,751 and travel and promotion reduced by 60% from $262,766 to $104,249, resulting from reduction in exploration and geological work and our reduced efforts to raise equity from the downward market;

  • In 2008 we recorded interest expense of $1,041,913, which was accretion of the discount on convertible debt raised in 2007. During 2008 carrying value of these discounted notes were accreted fully to their face value and the debts were redeemed. In 2009 there was no such debt or interest expense;

  • During 2008 we discontinued our exploration work on our mining properties in British Columbia and China. As a result we wrote off the acquisition costs of $126,417 of these two properties. During 2009 we did not have capitalized book value of properties and did no have such loss from write-off of properties.

Other than as disclosed herein, we are not aware of any trends, uncertainties, demands, commitments or events which are reasonably likely to have a material effect upon our net sales or revenues, income from continuing operations, profitability, liquidity or capital resources, or that would cause reported financial information not necessarily to be indicative of future operating results or financial condition.

ITEM 15.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), are controls and other procedures of the Company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, the Company carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures as of February 28, 2009, being the date of the Company’s most recently completed fiscal year end. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including Mr. John Robertson, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, and Ms. Monique van Oord the Company’s Chief Financial Officer.

As of February 28, 2009, management conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon that evaluation, management has concluded that our current disclosure controls and procedures are not effective as of February 28, 2009.

The conclusion that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective was due to the presence of material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting as identified below. Management anticipates that such disclosure controls and procedures will not be effective until the material weaknesses are remediated. Our Company intends to remediate the material weaknesses as set out below.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company’s board of directors and audit committee are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation and fair presentation of its consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Mr. John Robertson, and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, Ms. Monique van Oord, assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and Rule 15d-(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act) as of February 28, 2009.

5




Based on management’s evaluation, we concluded our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as at February 28, 2009 due to inadequate segregation of duties and effective risk assessment.

We plan to take steps to enhance and improve the design of our internal controls over financial reporting. During the period covered by this annual report, we have not been able to remediate the material weaknesses identified above. To remediate such weaknesses, we plan to appoint additional qualified personnel to address inadequate segregation of duties and ineffective risk management, and adopt sufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting. These remediation efforts are largely dependent upon securing additional financing to cover the costs of implementing the changes required. If we are unsuccessful in securing such funds, remediation efforts may be adversely affected.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, all internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective may not prevent or detect misstatements and can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the fiscal year ended February 28, 2009, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Linux Gold Corp.
(An Exploration Stage Company)

We have audited the consolidated balance sheet of Linux Gold Corp. (the “Company”) as at 28 February 2009 and the related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and changes in stockholders’ equity (deficiency) for the year ended 28 February 2009. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of 28 February 2009 and the results of its operations, cash flows and changes in stockholders’ equity (deficiency) for the year ended 28 February 2009 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The consolidated balance sheet of the Company as at 29 February 2008 and the related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and changes in stockholders’ equity (deficiency) for the years ended 29 February 2008 and 28 February 2007 were audited by other auditors whose report dated 18 June 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, conditions exist which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern unless it is able to generate sufficient cash flows to meet its obligations and sustain its operations. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

TO THE DIRECTORS AND STOCKHOLDERS OF LINUX GOLD CORP.
(An Exploration Stage Company)

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Linux Gold Corp. (An Exploration Stage Company) as of February 29, 2008 and February 28, 2007 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficiency) and cash flows for the years ended February 29, 2008, February 28, 2007 and February 28, 2006. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. The statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficiency) and cash flows from March 1, 2003 (date of inception of exploration stage) to February 28, 2005 were audited by other auditors whose report dated July 15, 2005 expressed an unqualified opinion, with an explanatory paragraph discussing the Company’s ability to continue as a going-concern. Our opinion on the statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficiency) and cash flows from inception of the exploration stage to February 29, 2008, insofar as it related to amounts for prior periods through February 28, 2005, is solely based on the reports of other auditors.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at February 29, 2008 and February 28, 2007 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended February 29, 2008, February 28, 2007 and February 28, 2006, and the cumulative totals for the exploration stage of operations from March 1, 2003 (date of inception of exploration stage) through February 29, 2008 in conformity with US generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going-concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has no revenues and limited capital, which together raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going-concern. Management plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Linux Gold Corp. 
(An Exploration Stage Company) 
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars) 
28 February 2009 

1.  Nature and Continuance of Operations 

Linux Gold Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated on 27 February 1979 in Canada under the British Columbia Company Act and was extra-provincially registered in the Province of Alberta on 12 October 1995. The Company’s stock trades on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board in the United States under the symbol “LNXGF”.

On 20 February 2003, the shareholders approved a change of name to Linux Gold Corp. and increased the authorized share capital to 200,000,000 common shares without par value. The Company had been previously pursuing various business opportunities and, effective 1 March 2003, the Company changed its principal operations to mineral exploration. Accordingly, as of 1 March 2003, the Company is considered to be an exploration stage company.

The Company’s consolidated financial statements as at 28 February 2009 and for the year then ended have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company has a loss of $536,201 for the year ended 28 February 2009 (29 February 2008 – $2,260,291, 28 February 2007 – $3,571,183) and has a working capital deficit of $296,083 at 28 February 2009 (29 February 2008 – $219,213).

Management cannot provide assurance that the Company will ultimately achieve profitable operations or become cash flow positive, or raise additional debt and/or equity capital. Management believes that the Company’s capital resources should be adequate to continue operating and maintaining its business strategy. However, if the Company is unable to raise additional capital in the near future, due to the Company’s liquidity problems, management expects that the Company will need to curtail operations, liquidate assets, seek additional capital on less favorable terms and/or pursue other remedial measures. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

At 28 February 2009, the Company has suffered losses from exploration stage activities to date. Although management is currently seeking additional sources of equity or debt financing, there is no assurance these activities will be successful. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

2.  Significant Accounting Policies 

Basis of accounting

These consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and are presented in Canadian dollars. There are no consolidated financial statements prepared using Canadian generally accepted accounting principles. The Company is an exploration stage company, as defined by the Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 7, “Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises”.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars) 
28 February 2009 

Principles of consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its inactive wholly-owned subsidiary LinuxWizardry Inc., a United States corporation. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Foreign currency translation

The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the Canadian dollar. The consolidated financial statements of the Company are translated to Canadian dollars in accordance with SFAS No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation”. Foreign currency transactions are primarily undertaken in U.S. dollars. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in U.S. dollars are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income. The Company has not, to the date of these consolidated financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions which affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates include the determination of rates for amortization, the impairment of marketable securities, fair value of imputed interest and the assumptions used in computing the fair value of stock-based compensation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Basic and diluted net loss per share

The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share”. SFAS No. 128 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all potentially dilutive shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.

Stock-based compensation

The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payments”, using the fair value method. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. Equity instruments issued to employees and the cost of the services received as consideration are measured and recognized based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements.

28 February 2009 

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.

Marketable securities

The Company reports investments in debt and marketable equity securities at fair value based on quoted market prices or, if quoted prices are not available, discounted expected cash flows using market rates commensurate with credit quality and maturity of the investment. All investment securities are designated as available-for-sale with unrealized gains and losses included in stockholders’ equity. Unrealized losses that are other than temporary are recognized in earnings. Realized gains and losses are accounted for on the specific identification method.

Mineral exploration expenditures

The Company is primarily engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties.

Mineral property acquisition costs are capitalized in accordance with Emerging Issue Task Force (“EITF”) 04-2 when management has determined that probable future benefits consisting of a contribution to future cash inflows have been identified and adequate financial resources are available or are expected to be available as required to meet the terms of property acquisition and budgeted exploration and development expenditures. Mineral property acquisition costs are expensed as incurred if the criteria for capitalization are not met. In the event that mineral property acquisition costs are paid with Company shares, those shares are recorded at the estimated fair value at the time the shares are due in accordance with the terms of the property agreements.

Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred.

When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves and pre feasibility, the costs incurred to develop such property are capitalized.

Estimated future removal and site restoration costs, when determinable are provided over the life of proven reserves on a units-of-production basis. Costs, which include production equipment removal and environmental remediation, are estimated each period by management based on current regulations, actual expenses incurred, and technology and industry standards. Any charge is included in exploration expense or the provision for depletion and depreciation during the period and the actual restoration expenditures are charged to the accumulated provision amounts as incurred.

As of the date of these consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred only exploration costs which have been expensed.

To date the Company has not established any proven or probable reserves on its mineral properties.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements.

Asset retirement obligation

The basis of this policy is the recognition of a legal liability for obligations related to the retirement of property, plant and equipment and obligations arising from the acquisition, construction, development or normal operations of those assets. Such asset retirement costs must be recognized at fair value when a reasonable estimate of fair value can be estimated. A corresponding increase to the carrying amount of the related asset, when one is identifiable, is recorded and amortized over the life of the asset. Where a related future value is not easily identifiable with a liability, the change in fair value over the course of the year is expensed. The amount of the liability is subject to remeasurement at each reporting period. The estimates are based principally on legal and regulatory requirements.

It is possible that the Company’s estimates of its ultimate reclamation and closure liabilities could change as a result of changes in regulations, changes in the extent of environmental remediation required, changes in the means of reclamation, or changes in cost estimates. Changes in estimates are accounting for prospectively commencing in the period the estimate is revised. To date, the Company has not recognized any asset retirement obligations as a reasonable estimate cannot be made at this time.

Long-lived assets

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the carrying value of intangible assets and other long-lived assets is reviewed on a regular basis for the existence of facts or circumstances that may suggest impairment. The Company recognizes impairment when the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. Impairment losses, if any, are measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its estimated fair value.

Property and equipment

Property and equipment consists of office furniture and vehicle, which are recorded at cost. Office furniture is amortized on a declining-balance basis at 20% per annum and the vehicle is amortized on a declining-balance basis at 30% per annum.

Financial instruments

The Company classifies its financial instruments into held-to-maturity, trading or available-for-sale categories. Financial instruments are classified as held-to-maturity when the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold the instruments to maturity. Financial instruments for which the Company does not have the intent or ability to hold to maturity are classified as available-for-sale. Held-to-maturity instruments are recorded as either short-term or long-term on the balance sheet based on contractual maturity date and are stated at amortized cost. Financial instruments that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as trading securities and are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses recognized in earnings. Financial instruments not classified as held-to-maturity or as trading are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair market value, with the unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, included in the determination of comprehensive income and reported in stockholders’ equity.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements.

Income taxes

Potential benefits of income tax losses are not recognized in the accounts until realization is more likely than not. The Company has adopted SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, as of its inception. Pursuant to SFAS No. 109, the Company is required to compute tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward. Potential benefits of net operating losses have not been recognized in these consolidated financial statements because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years.

Comprehensive loss

SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income”, establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. As at 28 February 2009 and 29 February 2008, the Company’s only component of other comprehensive loss was unrealized holding gains and losses on available-for-sale securities.

In 2006, the Canadian Accounting Standards Board (“AcSB”) published a new strategic plan that will significantly affect financial reporting requirements for Canadian companies. The AcSB strategic plan outlines the convergence of Canadian GAAP with IFRS over an expected five year transitional period. In February 2008, the AcSB announced that 2011 is the changeover date for publicly-listed companies to use IFRS, replacing Canada’s own GAAP. The date is for interim and annual financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after 1 January 2011. The transition date of 1 January 2011 will require the restatement for comparative purposes of amounts reported by the Company for the year ended 30 November 2011. While the Company has begun assessing the adoption of IFRS for 2011, the financial reporting impact of the transition to IFRS cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued SFAS No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts – an interpretation of SFAS No. 60”. SFAS No. 163 provides enhanced guidance on the recognition and measurement to be used to account for premium revenue and claim liabilities and related disclosures and is limited to financial guarantee insurance (and reinsurance) contracts, issued by enterprises included within the scope of SFAS No. 60, “Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises”. SFAS No. 163 also requires that an insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation. SFAS No. 163 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after 15 December 2008, with early application not permitted. The Company does not expect SFAS No. 163 to have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. SFAS No. 162 is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with GAAP for nongovernmental entities. Prior to the issuance of SFAS No. 162, GAAP hierarchy was defined in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”) Statement on Auditing Standards (“SAS”) No. 69, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with GAAP”. SAS No. 69 has been criticized because it is directed to the auditor rather than the entity.

SFAS No. 162 addresses these issues by establishing that the GAAP hierarchy should be directed to entities because it is the entity, not its auditor, that is responsible for selecting accounting principles for financial statements that are presented in conformity with GAAP. SFAS No. 162 is effective 60 days following the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. The Company does not expect SFAS No. 162 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133”, which amends and expands the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 133 to provide an enhanced understanding of an entity’s use of derivative instruments, how they are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and their effect on the entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. The provisions of SFAS No. 161 are effective for periods beginning after 15 November 2008. The Company is currently reviewing the effect, if any, that the adoption of this statement will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Fish Creek Property

The Company owns a 50% joint interest in 30 claims located in the Fairbanks Mining Division, Alaska, USA, known as the Fish Creek Claims. During fiscal 2003, the Company optioned a 50% interest in the 30 Fish Creek Claims to Teryl Resources Corp. (“Teryl”), a related company (Note 8). Under the terms of the agreement, Teryl issued 200,000 common shares to the Company at a fair value of $80,000 and must expend $500,000 over three years.

The Company retained a 5% net royalty interest, until US$2,000,000 has been received, and may convert into a 25% working interest. The Company entered into an amending agreement with Teryl to extend the term of the original agreement until 7 March 2007, in which Teryl issued 100,000 common shares to the Company, and also agreed to expend a minimum of US$500,000 within two years from the date of that amending agreement. All other terms of the original agreement remain the same. Subsequently, the Company entered into a further agreement with Teryl to extend the term of the original agreement until 5 March 2009, in which all other terms of the original agreement remain the same. Subsequent to the year end, the Company entered into an agreement to extend the expenditure date on the Fish Creek mineral claim to 5 March 2010 (Note 15).

During the year ended 28 February 2009, the Company incurred consulting fees valued at US$45,000 which were delivered by a company not related to the Company (the “Third Party”). The payment for these consulting fees was made by way of payment of US$45,000 by the Company to a company related to the Company by way of director in common (the “Related Party”). The Related Party then settled the debt with the Third Party by transferring 300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (valued at US$45,000), held by the Related Party as an investment, to the Third Party.

The Company had certain mineral property transactions and a joint venture agreement with related parties (Note 5).

9.  Convertible Debentures 

The Company completed a private placement financing of $2,226,250 (US$2,000,000) on 8 May 2006 with several institutional investors consisting of secured convertible discount notes (the “Discount Notes”) with a principal amount of US$2,105,250. The Discount Notes were issued at a discount of 5%, are convertible into common stock at a conversion price of $0.40 per share at the option of the investor. Effective 1 October 2006, the Company was required to repay 1/15 of the principal amount per month. Upon required monthly repayment, the Discount Notes were converted to common stock at a conversion price calculated at the 15-day volume weighted average stock price less a 15% discount. The Discount Notes matured on 8 November 2007.

The securities were issued in a private placement transaction pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Company is obligated to file a registration statement with the United States SEC registering the resale of shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon conversion of the Discount Notes and exercise of the warrants.

28 February 2009 

The Company received proceeds of US$1,500,000 at first closing on 8 May 2006, and the remaining US$500,000 was received upon the filing of a resale registration statement. The investors received Series A warrants to purchase, in the aggregate, 5,000,000 shares of common stock at $0.50 per share for a term of five years, and Series B warrants to purchase, in the aggregate, an additional 2,500,000 shares of common stock at $0.52 per share for a term expiring upon the earlier of one year after the effectiveness of the resale registration statement or ten years. These warrants were subject to a price adjustment clause whereby any future equity financing at a share price less than the exercise price of the warrants would result in the re-pricing of the warrants’ exercise price to equal the share price of the financing and additional warrants would be issued so that the aggregate exercise price of the re-priced warrants would aggregate the exercise price of the originally issued warrants.

The Company received US$1,815,000 net proceeds from this transaction. The funds were used for continued exploration and development expenses on the Granite Mountain claims and for general working capital.

During the year ended 29 February 2008, the Company redeemed $1,493,911 (US$1,403,518) of principal paid by the issuance of 8,378,226 common shares.

In addition, in accordance with EITF 00-27

“Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments”, the Company allocated the proceeds of issuance between the convertible debt and the detachable warrants based on their relative fair values. Accordingly, the Company recognized the fair value of the detachable warrants of $1,262,580 (US$1,135,134) as additional paid-in capital. The carrying value of the Discount Notes has been accreted to the face value of the principal. During the year ended 28 February 2009, interest expense of $Nil (29 February 2008 - $1,041,913, 28 February 2007 - $1,260,670) has been accreted.

Warrant pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the estimate of the share price volatility. Changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, and therefore, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the value of the Company’s warrants.

Stock Options

The Company has a stock option plan to issue up to 10% of the issued common shares to certain directors and employees. All options granted under the plan vest upon date of grant and are subject to the following exercise schedule:

i)

Up to 25% of the options may be exercised at any time during the term of the option (the “First Exercise”);

 
ii)

The second 25% of the options may be exercised at any time after 90 days from the date of the First Exercise (the “Second Exercise”);

 
iii)

The third 25% of the options may be exercised at any time after 90 days from the date of the Second Exercise (the “Third Exercise”); and

 
iv)

The fourth and final 25% of the options may be exercised at any time after 90 days from the date of the Third Exercise.

 

During the years ended 28 February 2009 and 29 February 2008, the Company recorded stock-based compensation of $Nil and $75,042, respectively.

14.  Financial Instruments 

a)

Fair value

 
 

The carrying values of all held-for-trading and held-to-maturity instruments, represented by cash and cash equivalents, Goods and Service Tax receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and amounts due to related parties, approximate their fair values because of the short- term maturity of these financial instruments. The aggregate fair value of all held-for-trading instruments is $13,894 (29 February 2008 - $8,236). The aggregate carrying value and fair value of all held-to-maturity assets is $7,938 (29 February 2008 - $4,291).

 
 

Available-for-sale securities consist of common shares in a company related by common directors and is represented as marketable securities on the consolidated financial statements. The fair value of these securities is $78,000 (29 February 2008 - $286,000) and losses included in accumulated other comprehensive loss is $268,000 (29 February 2008 - $60,000).

 
b)

Interest rate risk

 
 

The Company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk due to the short-term maturity of its monetary assets and liabilities.

 
c)

Credit risk

 
 

The Company’s financial asset that is exposed to credit risk consists primarily of cash and cash equivalents. To manage the risk, cash is placed with major financial institutions. The Company does not have significant concentrations of credit risk in regards to its amounts receivable and allows for any uncollectible accounts on a specific identification basis based on payment history.

 
d)

Currency risk

 
 

The Company translates the results of its foreign operations into Canadian currency using rates approximating the average exchange rate for the period.

 
 

The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk through the following financial assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than Canadian dollars:

 
  As at 28 February 2009 US$  As at 29 February 2008 US$ 
 
Cash and cash equivalents  4,296  5,213 
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities  85,446    233,434   

As at 28 February 2009, with other variables unchanged, an approximately 10% change in exchange rates would increase/decrease pre-tax loss by $11,307.
