VOTING

Record Date

The Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on March 21, 2006 as the record date (the “Record Date”) for determination of stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Special Meeting. As of the Record Date, there were issued and outstanding 17,877,172 shares of Common Stock. The holders of record of the shares of Common Stock on the Record Date entitled to be voted at the Special Meeting are entitled to cast one vote per share on each matter submitted to a vote at the Special Meeting.

 Proxies

Shares of Common Stock which are entitled to be voted at the Special Meeting and which are represented by properly executed proxies will be voted in accordance with the instructions indicated on such proxies. If no instructions are indicated, such shares will be voted FOR the proposal to change the name of the Company to Left Behind Games Inc.; FOR the proposal to elect Troy A. Lyndon, Jeffrey Frichner, Thomas Axelson and Ray Dixon to our board of directors; FOR authorizing Corbin & Company, LLP, located in Irvine, California to provide audits on an ongoing basis; and as recommended by the Board of Directors, in its discretion, with regard to all other matters which may properly come before the Special Meeting. The Company does not currently know of any such other matters.

A stockholder who has executed and returned a proxy may revoke it at any time prior to its exercise at the Special Meeting by executing and returning a proxy bearing a later date, by filing with the secretary of the Company, at the address set forth above, a written notice of revocation bearing a later date than the proxy being revoked, or by voting the Common Stock covered thereby in person at the Special Meeting.

Vote Required

The presence of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote, represented in person or by properly executed proxy, is required for a quorum at the Special Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes, which are indications by a broker that it does not have discretionary authority to vote on a particular matter, will be counted as “represented” for the purpose of determining the presence or the absence of a quorum. Under the Corporation Law of the State of Washington, once a quorum is established, stockholder approval with respect to a particular proposal is generally obtained when the votes cast in favor of the proposal exceed the votes cast against such proposal, unless the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws require otherwise.

Management of the Company is of the opinion that Proposal no. 1 to change the Company’s name to Left Behind Games, Proposal no. 2, to elect new directors, and Proposal no. 3, to appoint Corbin & Co. as our auditors will be considered approved by the stockholders in accordance with Washington Law and the Company’s Articles of

3

Incorporation and Bylaws if the votes cast in favor of the proposal exceed the votes cast opposing such matter.

PROPOSAL NO. 1: PROPOSAL TO CHANGE THE NAME OF THE COMPANY TO LEFT BEHIND GAMES INC.

On February 7, 2006, Bonanza Gold, Inc. (sometimes the "Registrant" or "Bonanza"), acquired Left Behind Games Inc. as a subsidiary pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement dated as of January 26, 2005. Left Behind Games Inc. now accounts for all of our operations. Also, pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, Troy A. Lyndon, Jeffrey S. Frichner, Thomas H. Axelson, respectively the chief executive officer, president & secretary and chief financial officer of our new subsidiary Left Behind Games Inc., were appointed to our board of directors and named as our chief executive officer, president & secretary and chief financial officer, respectively. Concurrently with Messrs. Lyndon’s, Frichner’s, and Axelson’s appointment as all of our officers, Mr. Robert E. Kistler resigned as our president and treasurer, and Hobart Teneff resigned as our vice president.  In addition, Messrs. Kistler, Teneff and Terrence Dunne resigned as our directors.  Left Behind Games Inc. was founded in October 2001 for the purpose of developing games based upon the popular Left Behind Series. We are attempting to become a leading independent developer and publisher of quality interactive entertainment products that perpetuate positive values and appeal to mainstream, gamer and eternally minded audiences. Due to this focus, the name Bonanza Gold, is no longer reflective of our business.

The Board of Directors believes that the Company can continue to strengthen its brand acceptance by using the name “Left Behind Games” with respect to its products, and corporate subsidiary name. The Board of Directors also believes that using Left Behind Games Inc. as the Company’s name will be more consistent with its subsidiary and operations. The acronym Left Behind which stands for Left Behind more accurately describes the Company’s recent change in direction.  The board therefore unanimously recommends that stockholders of the Company vote FOR the proposal to change the name of the Company to Left Behind Games Inc.
