Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

Note 1 – Nature of Business, Presentation, and Going Concern

Organization

Spartan Gold Ltd., (the “Company”), was incorporated in Nevada on September 6, 2007.

On May 21, 2010, the Company experienced a change in control and the Company abandoned its original plan of developing and operating biodiesel facilities to concentrate on gold exploration. Concurrent with the change in control transaction, all related party obligations were settled.

On July 8, 2010, the Company filed an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation in the State of Nevada to change its name to Spartan Gold Ltd.  The Company now operates as a U.S. based junior gold exploration company.  The Company is engaged in gold exploration activities on its two Nevada properties.

Stock Splits

On July 19, 2010, the Company's Board of Directors declared a one-to-forty forward stock split of all outstanding shares of common stock.

On November 9, 2011, the Company's Board of Directors declared a one-for-twenty reverse stock split of all outstanding shares of common stock.  All common share and per common share data in these consolidated financial statements and related notes hereto have been retroactively adjusted to account for the effect of the reverse stock splits for all periods presented prior to November 9, 2011.  The total number of authorized common shares and the par value thereof was not changed by the split.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial statement presentation and in accordance with Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required in annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations and cash flows. The results of operations presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year.

These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2012 annual financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 15, 2013.

Reclassifications

Certain items on the 2012 statements of operations and statement of cash flows have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

Exploration Stage Company

As of July 8, 2010, the Company became an “exploration stage company” as defined in the SEC Industry Guide 7, and is subject to compliance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 915 “Development Stage Entities”.  For the period from September 6, 2007 (Inception) to July 8, 2010, the Company was a “development stage company” in accordance with ASC Topic 915.  Deficits accumulated prior to becoming an “exploration stage company” has been separately presented in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.  To date, the Company's planned principal operations have not fully commenced.

Note 1 – Nature of Business, Presentation, and Going Concern (Continued)

Going Concern

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  The Company has incurred a net loss of $208,939 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and has incurred cumulative losses since inception of the exploration stage of $18,663,679.  The Company has a stockholders’ deficit of $485,110 at September 30, 2013.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.  The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate revenues, its ability to continue to raise investment capital, and to implement its business plan.  No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in these efforts.

These unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.  Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plans provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.

The Company assumed an existing mineral royalty agreement which requires the payment of 6% NSR overriding royalty for any and all precious metals that are mined, processed or recovered from the Arbacoochee Gold Prospect to AMP.

At December 31, 2010, the Company impaired the Arbacoochee Gold Prospect and $104,027 was charged to operations.

Company Overview

Spartan Gold Ltd. (the "Company", “Spartan”, “we”, “us” or “our”) is a U.S. based junior gold exploration company with gold exploration and development activities centered in both the Carlin-Rain and Round Mountain-Northumberland Gold Trends in Nevada. Spartan’s Poker Flats gold prospect is located within the Carlin-Rain region, and the Ziggurat gold prospect is located within the Round Mountain-Northumberland Mining District.

Each of these regions is endowed with major gold deposits operated by many of the world leaders in the mining industry. Major mining projects in the Carlin Trend are currently operated by Newmont Mining Corporation (trading on the NYSE) to the north and west of the Poker Flats prospects.  Additionally, some of the major mining projects in the Round Mountain-Northumberland districts are currently operated by Barrick Gold Corporation / Kinross Gold Corporation (NYSE) and also Newmont Mining Corporation which exist in close proximity to the Ziggurat prospect.  The Company also has mining interests in the northeast region of Alabama in the historical Arbacoochee Mining District.  The Company is currently pursuing opportunities for several acquisition targets around the world and focusing on operational plans for current projects.  The directors, management and advisers of Spartan Gold have over 90 years of combined experience in the exploration and development of global mining projects.

Spartan's commitment to asset growth and increased shareholder value will be sustained by the development of highly prospective projects, accelerated exploration activities and the acquisition of viable resources. Spartan has selected an international board of directors experienced in undertaking exploration, development and funding of numerous energy and minerals projects around the world.

Company History

Spartan Gold Ltd. was incorporated in Nevada on September 6, 2007 under the name Powergae, Inc. with the purpose of profitably constructing and operating biodiesel production facilities, establishing them in strategic locations, and selling the biodiesel through existing petroleum manufacturers and distributors.  On September 24, 2009, the Company changed its name to Algoil, Inc.  The central concept of Algoil, Inc. was making the production of biodiesel independent of its traditional sources such as soy bean, rape, sunflower seed or palm oil.

14

On May 21, 2010, the Company experienced a change in control.  Magic Grace Ltd. (“Magic Grace”) acquired the majority of the issued and outstanding common stock of Algoil, Inc. in accordance with a stock purchase agreement by and between Andriy Kovalenko and Magic Grace.  On the closing date, May 21, 2010, pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, Magic Grace purchased from Mr. Kovalenko 14,290,000 (pre-split) shares of Company’s outstanding common stock for $187,500.  In accordance with the agreement, all related party obligations were settled.   Also on May 21, 2010, Real Challenge Group, Ltd. (“Real Challenge”) acquired 935,000 (pre-split) free-trading shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock in accordance with a stock purchase agreement by and between Andriy Kovalenko, as a duly authorized representative of the selling shareholders, and Real Challenge for $187,500.   As a result of the change in control, the Company abandoned its original plan of developing and operating biodiesel facilities.

On July 8, 2010, the Company filed an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation in the State of Nevada to change its name to Spartan Gold Ltd.  The Company has adopted its new strategic plan of gold exploration, development and mining.

On July 19, 2010, the Company's Board of Directors declared a forty-to-one forward stock split of all outstanding shares of common stock.  Subsequently, on August 12, 2010, Magic Grace contributed to the treasury, and the Company retired, 9,896,250 common shares of stock (395,850,000 as adjusted for the stock split).  The effect of the stock split and retirement of shares increased the number of shares of common stock outstanding from 15,225,000 to 213,150,000 as of August 12, 2010.

On October 19, 2011, the Company issued 18,952,774 shares of its common stock to Sphere Resources, Inc. (“Sphere”) in conversion of a Secured Convertible Promissory Note totaling $379,055 (including accrued interest of $4,055).  As a result of the share issuance, Sphere became the majority shareholder of the Company.

On November 9, 2011, the Company's Board of Directors declared a one-for-twenty reverse stock split of all outstanding shares of common stock.  The effect of the reverse stock split decreased the number of shares of common stock outstanding from 632,892,868 to 31,644,658 as of November 9, 2011.

Plan of Operation

The immediate goal of Spartan’s management is to secure and augment the prospective land holdings under the Mexivada option agreements located in the Carlin-Rain and Round Mountain-Northumberland Gold Trends in Nevada.  We have options for the mineral concession rights at two projects in this region: Poker Flats and Ziggurat, both of which are located near existing operations of large mining corporations and have available mining and transportation infrastructures in place.

Both properties, Ziggurat and Poker Flats, require geological and geochemical mapping and analysis, in conjunction with geophysical mapping involving gravity and magnetic survey work, in order to better define future drill and exploration targets.  Our strategy is to advance each of these projects to the drilling stage as aggressively as prudent financing will allow and to determine the presence of gold, silver or other precious mineral reserves.   

If we are successful in doing so, we believe we can attract the attention of the existing mining companies already operating in the area or new mining companies to either enter into development agreements with us or to acquire the projects from us outright.

Additionally, we are currently identifying other acquisition opportunities.

Mineral Properties

Currently, we have completed two Option and Mining Claim Agreements to the mineral rights on two properties in the Carlin-Rain and Round Mountain-Northumberland Gold Trends in Nevada and own the mineral rights to one property in the northeast region of Alabama.  A description of each property is summarized below:

Poker Flats Property

On December 20, 2010, we entered into an Option and Mining Claim Acquisition Agreement between Mexivada Mining Corporation (“MMC” or the “Optionor”) and Sphere Resources, Inc. (“Sphere”). The agreement was amended on March 28, 2011 (the “First Amendment”) and further amended on December 22, 2011 (the “Second Amendment”).

MMC is the owner of a 100% interest in 64 lode mining claims located in the Carlin Mining District in Elko County Nevada, known as the “Poker Flats” Property.  Resulting from the Agreement and First and Second Amendments, the Company has the following rights and obligations:

— An initial 51% interest in the property will be earned upon incurring exploration expenditures of $500,000 on or before the third anniversary date of the agreement, all of which will be paid by the Company,

15

— An additional 24% interest in the property will be earned upon incurring additional exploration expenditures of $250,000 and completing and delivering to the Optionor an industry-standard mining feasibility study on or before the fifth anniversary date of the agreement,

— The Company has paid to the Optionor $25,000 upon executing the Option Agreement,

— Sphere has issued to the Optionor 350,000 shares of Sphere Resources, Inc. common stock,

— Sphere will issue to the Optionor an additional 150,000 shares of Sphere Resources, Inc. common stock when the Company obtains a 75% in the mineral rights,

— Upon exercise of the option, the Company will assume a 75% interest in an existing Production Royalty Agreement which requires the payment of 3% Net Smelter Return (“NSR”) production royalty for any and all products that are produced from the Poker Flats mining claims to the lessor of the claims to MMC and a 2% NSR to Sphere,

— If and when the Company elects to sell and convey all or a portion of its interest in the Poker Flats Property, the Company shall have the right to purchase up to 75% and MMC shall have the right to purchase up to 25% of the 3% NSR on mineral production from the Poker Flats Property retained by the owner of the mining claims subject to the Poker Flats Option Agreement, for one million U.S. dollars (U.S. $1,000,000) per NSR percentage point,

— If and when the Company elects to sell and convey all or a portion of its interest in the Poker Flats Property, the Company shall have the right to purchase up to 100% of the 2% NSR granted, conveyed and assigned by the Company to Sphere on its share of production from the Poker Flats Property, under terms to be agreed upon by the Company and Sphere.

On April 1, 2011, the Company entered into a Mining Lease and Agreement (the “Agreement”) with K & K Tomera Lands, LLC, a Nevada Limited Liability Company (“Tomera”). This Mining Lease and Agreement pertains to the Poker Flats property. Under the terms of the Agreement, Tomera grants, lets and leases exclusively to Spartan Gold the property, together will all ores and minerals of every kind, except geothermal resources, coal and oil and gas and other hydrocarbons, water and sand and gravel, in, or under the property, with the exclusive right to prospect and explore for, mine by any method now known or hereafter discovered, process, mill, prepare for market, store, sell, and dispose of the same; and together with all such rights-of-way and easements to the extent owned by Tomera, if any, through, over, on or appertaining to the property. The property initially contains 1,760 net mineral acres and may be modified to increase or decrease over time at the option of the Company.

Poker Flats is located approximately 20 miles south-southwest of Elko, Nevada in the Carlin-Rain Trend.  Poker Flats began with 500 acres in the Carlin region which is home to some of the world's leaders in the mining industry.  Neighboring mining projects north and south of Poker Flats include Newmont Mining Corporation, Gold Standard Ventures Corporation, and Premier Gold Mines Limited.  The Company expanded Poker Flats to 3,600 acres in 2011, which was reduced to 3,040 acres in October, 2012, and now holds an option for 75% majority ownership of this project.  The geological mapping process is under way and an updated NI 43-101 report was completed on November 22, 2011.  The new claim blocks and private mineral rights now included in the Poker Flats project are surrounded by Newmont Mining Corporation's Emigrant project on the northern border and several other productive projects including Newmont's Rain-Tess and Emigrant Mines, Premier Gold Mines Limited's Saddle gold prospect and Gold Standard Ventures Corporations' Railroad gold project.  The Company’s team has completed geological mapping and analysis, in conjunction with geophysical mapping involving gravity and magnetic survey work.  

Additional geophysical, drilling and geological work is planned at Poker Flats under a two-phase exploration program. Since the property is situated adjacent to other current gold mining properties such as Pinon and Railroad, and as the mineralization appears similar to those at Newmont's Emigrant and Rain Mines and at the Railroad deposit, additional exploration expenditures are justified for the Poker Flats property.

The exploration goal at the Poker Flats prospect is to identify a 500,000 to 1,000,000 ounce open-pit gold mining resource. A major mining project is currently being developed by Newmont Mining Corporation immediately north of the Poker Flats prospects.

Ziggurat Property

On December 27, 2010, we entered into an Option and Mining Claim Acquisition Agreement between MMC (the “Optionor”) and Sphere.   The agreement was amended on March 28, 2011 (the “First Amendment”) and further amended on December 22, 2011 (the “Second Amendment”).

MMC is the owner of a 100% interest in 227 lode mining claims in Nye County, in the State of Nevada, known as the “Ziggurat” Property. Resulting from the Agreement and First and Second Amendments, the Company has the following rights and obligations:

— An initial 51% interest in the property will be earned upon incurring exploration expenditures of $1,500,000 on or before the third anniversary date of the agreement, all of which will be paid by the Company,

— An additional 24% interest in the property will be earned upon incurring additional exploration expenditures of $1,000,000 and completing and delivering to Optionor an industry-standard mining feasibility study on or before the fifth anniversary date of the agreement,

16

— The Company has paid to the Optionor $25,000 upon executing the Option Agreement,

— The Company has paid to the Optionor $35,000 in 2011,

— The Company has paid to the Optionor $25,000 on or before the second anniversary date of the Agreement,

— The Company shall pay to Optionor $25,000 on or before the third anniversary date of the Agreement,

— Sphere has issued to Optionor 550,000 shares of Sphere Resources, Inc. common stock,

— Sphere will issue to Optionor an additional 250,000 shares of Sphere Resources, Inc. common stock when the Company obtains a 75% in the mineral rights,

— The Company granted a 2.5% NSR for any and all products that are produced from the Ziggurat mining claims to Sphere and a .5% NSR to MMC,

— If and when the Company elects to sell and convey all or a portion of its interest in the Ziggurat Property, the Company shall have the right to purchase up to 100% of the 2.5% NSR granted, conveyed and assigned by the Company to Sphere on its share of production from the Ziggurat Property, under terms to be agreed upon by the Company and Sphere.

The Ziggurat property is located approximately 22 kilometers north of Kinross Gold Corporation and Barrick Gold Corporation’s Round Mountain and Gold Hill gold mines in Nye County, Nevada.  The Ziggurat property began with 1,140 acres in the prolific Round Mountain-Northumberland Trend. The neighboring Northumberland mining project is located eight kilometers to the northeast of Ziggurat, and is owned by mining industry world leader Newmont Mining Corporation. The Company previously expanded Ziggurat to 6,860 acres in 2011, which was reduced to 4,540 acres in September 2012, and now holds an option for 75% majority ownership of this project.  Previous geophysical and geological interpretations indicate that the Ziggurat property has favorable characteristics for Carlin-style gold mineralization.  Since the property is situated in close proximity to other current gold mining properties such as Northumberland, Gold Hill, and Round Mountain, and the geologic structure and surface-mineralized host rocks appear very favorable, the Ziggurat property justifies additional exploration expenditures. Spartan's team has completed geological mapping and analysis, in conjunction with geophysical mapping involving gravity and magnetic survey work.

Additional geophysical, drilling and geological work is planned under a two-phase exploration program. Since the property is situated adjacent to other current gold mining properties such as Northumberland, Gold Hill, and Round Mountain, and the geologic structure and surface-mineralized host rocks appear very favorable, the Ziggurat property justifies additional exploration expenditure.

The exploration goal at the Ziggurat property is to identify a multi-million ounce open-pit gold mining resource. Major mining projects are currently operated by Barrick Gold Corporation and Newmont Mining Corporation which exist both south and north of the Ziggurat property, respectively.

Arbacoochee Gold Prospect

On October 22, 2010, we acquired the mineral rights to a Gold Prospect which is a tract of approximately 320 acres located in close proximity to the historic Arbacoochee Gold Mining District. This Prospect contains potentially minable placer located in Cleburne County, Alabama, 9 miles southeast of the city of Heflin. The property is located adjacent to the historic Gold Hill and is the central drain point for that hill. Most of the area’s historic gold production came from placer deposits near Gold Hill and Clear Creek. This property has not been worked in over 120 years.

The Company assumed an existing mineral royalty agreement which requires the payment of 6% NSR overriding royalty for any and all precious metals that are mined, processed or recovered from the Arbacoochee Gold Prospect to AMP.

Results of Operations

For the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012 and For the Period July 8, 2010 (Inception of Exploration Stage) to September 30, 2013

Revenues

The Company had no revenue for the period from July 8, 2010 (inception of exploration stage) to September 30, 2013 as we are still in the exploration stage.

Operating Expenses and Other Income

For the three months ended September 30, 2013 our total operating expenses were $72,505 compared to $154,651 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 resulting in a decrease of $82,146. The decrease is attributable to decreases in general and administrative expenses of $64,549 due primarily to decreases in consulting, legal and professional fees of $24,802, compensation of $16,148; stock-based compensation of $7,418; and general office, travel and overhead expense of $16,181. Mineral property expenditures increased $10,000 and exploration costs decreased $27,596. Overall the decrease in operating expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2013 was due to the Company’s minimal cash on hand to fund general and administrative expenditures.

17

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and For the Period July 8, 2010 (Inception of Exploration Stage) to September 30, 2013

Revenues

The Company had no revenue for the period from July 8, 2010 (inception of exploration stage) to September 30, 2013 as we are still in the exploration stage.

Operating Expenses and Other Income

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 our total operating expenses were $208,939 compared to $612,099 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 resulting in a decrease of $403,160. The decrease is attributable to decreases in mineral property expenditures of $26,560, general and administrative expenses of $333,728 due primarily to decreases in consulting, legal and professional fees of $79,100, compensation of $47,984; stock-based compensation of $142,000; and general office, travel and overhead expense of $64,644. Exploration costs decreased $15,275 due to a refund of 2012 state filing fees of $7,840. Overall the decrease in operating expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was due to the Company’s minimal cash on hand to fund general and administrative expenditures.

For the period from July 8, 2010 (inception of exploration stage) to September 30, 2013, total expenses and net loss were $18,663,679, composed of general and administrative expenses of $2,420,906, mineral exploration costs of $324,793, mineral property expenditures of $103120, mineral property option payments of $15,344,760, impairment of mineral property costs of $104,027, and interest expense of $441,073, offset by a gain on the settlement of debts of $75,000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 we funded our operations through advances from shareholders while for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 we funded our operations through advances from third parties, shareholders and officers. Our principal use of funds during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 has been for general corporate expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012

As of September 30, 2013, we had cash of $1,101 and deficit in working capital of $485,872.  The Company generated a negative cash flow from operations of $93,436 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to cash used in operations of $152,631 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The negative cash flow from operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 is primarily attributable to the Company's net loss from operations of $208,939, offset by depreciation of $1,522 and net changes in operating assets and liabilities of $113,981.  Cash used in operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 is primarily attributable to the Company's net loss from operations of $578,445, offset by depreciation of $1,521, stock-based compensation of $142,000, accretion of beneficial conversion feature on secured convertible promissory notes of $41,346 and net changes in operating assets and liabilities of $315,947, and increased by gain on settlement of debt of $75,000.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company received advances from Sphere of $89,400, and made repayments to its President of $6,000. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company received advances of $62,020 from a third party, $90,000 from Sphere and $19,000 from its President and made payments of $17,360 to Sphere.

We will require additional financing during the current fiscal year according to our planned exploration activities. We plan to spend approximately $1,500,000 in the next twelve months to carry out exploration and administration activities on our Nevada mineral properties. We presently do not have sufficient financing to enable us to complete these activities and will require additional financing to perform future exploration work on all of our mineral properties. Our actual expenditures on these activities will depend on the amount of funds we have available as a result of our financing efforts. We will rely on loans and advances from our majority shareholder to fund our operations until we are able to raise necessary capital for exploration activities. There is no assurance that we will be able to raise the necessary financing.

On August 31, 2012, the Company entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with Tamimi Investments and Mining Co. (“TIMCO”), a Cyprus corporation. Under the MOU, TIMCO was to subscribe to a $2,000,000 private placement of the Company’s common stock at $0.05 per share (40,000,000 shares). TIMCO was to receive warrants to purchase an additional 30,000,000 shares within two years from the date of closing at an exercise price of $0.10 per share. In connection with the subscription, TIMCO was to receive a facilitation fee consisting of 5% of the placement amount in cash, 2,500,000 common shares of the Company’s stock, and warrants to purchase an additional 2,500,000 shares at $0.10 per share. Upon the completion of due diligence, TIMCO decided to not complete the transaction.

Also on August 31, 2012, as a condition of the MOU, the Company entered into a convertible secured loan with TIMCO and received $62,020. The loan was secured by, and convertible into, 1,240,400 shares of the Company’s common stock. The loan did not bear interest and was convertible at the end of the due diligence period.

On December 27, 2012, the Company’s officers elected to convert a total of $292,764 of accrued salaries owed to them for 5,855,286 shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion rate of $0.05 per share, the market rate at the date of conversion. Additionally on December 27, 2012, a vendor elected to convert $22,140 of accounts payable and accrued expenses due to them for 442,800 shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion rate of $0.05 per share.

On December 27, 2012, Sphere elected to convert $142,640 of advances due to them for 2,852,800 shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion rate of $0.05 per share, the market rate at the date of conversion.

Effective December 31, 2012, the Company, Sphere and TIMCO entered into an agreement whereby the debt of $62,020 was assigned to Sphere. The Company agreed to issue 250,000 shares of its common stock to TIMCO for consideration of the assignment. On December 31, 2012, Sphere elected to convert the $62,020 for 1,240,400 shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion rate of $0.05 per share, the market rate at the date of conversion.

Going Concern

Due to the uncertainty of our ability to meet our current operating and capital expenses, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph in their report on the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that lead to this disclosure by our independent auditors.

Our unaudited financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal business operations when they become due. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with any certainty at this time and raise substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern. Our unaudited financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amount and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

There is no assurance that our operations will be profitable. Historically, the Company has conducted private placements of its common stock, which have generated funds to satisfy the initial cash requirements of its planned Nevada exploration ventures. Our continued existence and plans for future growth depend on our ability to obtain the additional capital necessary to operate either through the generation of revenue or the issuance of additional debt or equity.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We currently have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make a number of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Such estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We base our estimates on historical experiences and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate estimates and assumptions based upon historical experience and various other factors and circumstances. We believe our estimates and assumptions are reasonable in the circumstances; however, actual results may differ from these estimates under different future conditions.

See Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed on April 15, 2013, for a discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

The disclosure required under this item is not required to be reported by smaller reporting companies.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures.

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Securities and Exchange Commission defines the term “disclosure controls and procedures” to mean a company's controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its chief executive and chief financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company maintains such a system of controls and procedures in an effort to ensure that all information which it is required to disclose in the reports it files under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified under the SEC's rules and forms and that information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to chief executive and chief financial officers to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of such date.  

(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

The Company's property is not the subject of any pending legal proceedings.

1. Nature of Business, Presentation, and Going Concern

9 Months Ended

Sep. 30, 2013

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

NOTE 1 - Nature of Business, Presentation, and Going Concern

Organization

Spartan Gold Ltd., (the “Company”), was incorporated in Nevada on September 6, 2007.

On May 21, 2010, the Company experienced a change in control and the Company abandoned its original plan of developing and operating biodiesel facilities to concentrate on gold exploration. Concurrent with the change in control transaction, all related party obligations were settled.

On July 8, 2010, the Company filed an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation in the State of Nevada to change its name to Spartan Gold Ltd.  The Company now operates as a U.S. based junior gold exploration company.  The Company is engaged in gold exploration activities on its two Nevada properties.

Stock Splits

On July 19, 2010, the Company's Board of Directors declared a one-to-forty forward stock split of all outstanding shares of common stock.

On November 9, 2011, the Company's Board of Directors declared a one-for-twenty reverse stock split of all outstanding shares of common stock.  All common share and per common share data in these consolidated financial statements and related notes hereto have been retroactively adjusted to account for the effect of the reverse stock splits for all periods presented prior to November 9, 2011.  The total number of authorized common shares and the par value thereof was not changed by the split.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial statement presentation and in accordance with Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required in annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations and cash flows. The results of operations presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year.

These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2012 annual financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 15, 2013.

Reclassifications

Certain items on the 2012 statements of operations and statement of cash flows have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

Exploration Stage Company

As of July 8, 2010, the Company became an “exploration stage company” as defined in the SEC Industry Guide 7, and is subject to compliance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 915 “Development Stage Entities”.  For the period from September 6, 2007 (Inception) to July 8, 2010, the Company was a “development stage company” in accordance with ASC Topic 915.  Deficits accumulated prior to becoming an “exploration stage company” has been separately presented in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.  To date, the Company's planned principal operations have not fully commenced.

Going Concern

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  The Company has incurred a net loss of $208,939 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and has incurred cumulative losses since inception of the exploration stage of $18,663,679.  The Company has a stockholders’ deficit of $485,110 at September 30, 2013.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.  The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate revenues, its ability to continue to raise investment capital, and to implement its business plan.  No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in these efforts.

These unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.  Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plans provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.

1. Nature of Business, Presentation, and Going Concern (Policies)

9 Months Ended

Sep. 30, 2013

Nature Of Business Presentation And Going Concern Policies

Organization

Spartan Gold Ltd., (the “Company”), was incorporated in Nevada on September 6, 2007.

On May 21, 2010, the Company experienced a change in control and the Company abandoned its original plan of developing and operating biodiesel facilities to concentrate on gold exploration. Concurrent with the change in control transaction, all related party obligations were settled.

On July 8, 2010, the Company filed an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation in the State of Nevada to change its name to Spartan Gold Ltd.  The Company now operates as a U.S. based junior gold exploration company.  The Company is engaged in gold exploration activities on its two Nevada properties.

Stock Splits

On July 19, 2010, the Company's Board of Directors declared a one-to-forty forward stock split of all outstanding shares of common stock.

On November 9, 2011, the Company's Board of Directors declared a one-for-twenty reverse stock split of all outstanding shares of common stock.  All common share and per common share data in these consolidated financial statements and related notes hereto have been retroactively adjusted to account for the effect of the reverse stock splits for all periods presented prior to November 9, 2011.  The total number of authorized common shares and the par value thereof was not changed by the split.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial statement presentation and in accordance with Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required in annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations and cash flows. The results of operations presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year.

These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2012 annual financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 15, 2013.

Reclassifications

Certain items on the 2012 statements of operations and statement of cash flows have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

Exploration Stage Company

As of July 8, 2010, the Company became an “exploration stage company” as defined in the SEC Industry Guide 7, and is subject to compliance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 915 “Development Stage Entities”.  For the period from September 6, 2007 (Inception) to July 8, 2010, the Company was a “development stage company” in accordance with ASC Topic 915.  Deficits accumulated prior to becoming an “exploration stage company” has been separately presented in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.  To date, the Company's planned principal operations have not fully commenced.

Going Concern

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  The Company has incurred a net loss of $208,939 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and has incurred cumulative losses since inception of the exploration stage of $18,663,679.  The Company has a stockholders’ deficit of $485,110 at September 30, 2013.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.  The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate revenues, its ability to continue to raise investment capital, and to implement its business plan.  No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in these efforts.

These unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.  Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plans provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.
