On May 10, 2012, the Company issued 9,000,000 shares of common stock to various debenture holders in satisfaction of common stock payable.  The Company also issued 27,434 shares of common stock for accrued interest on May 10, 2012 (Note 12).

NOTE 8 - REVERSE STOCK SPLIT

 

On or about November 30, 2011 the Company received written consents in lieu of a special meeting of the Board and of the Shareholders authorizing the Board to undertake a 1:6 reverse split of the Company's common shares. Pursuant to the reverse split, holders of Star Gold common stock, as of November 30, 2011 (the "Record Date"), received one (1) share of Star Gold common stock in exchange for every six (6) shares of Star Gold common stock held by the shareholder on the Record Date (the "Reverse Split").  The Company's shares immediately prior to the Reverse stock split totaled 63,710,000, which were adjusted to 10,618,333 shares as a result of the Reverse Stock Split.  The Reverse Stock Split became effective February 2, 2012 when the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") approved the Reverse Stock Split. 

 

The Company's common stock began trading at its post Reverse Stock Split price at the beginning of trading on February 3, 2012.  Share, per share, and stock option amounts for all periods presented within this report for common stock and additional paid-in capital have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split.
