MAGELLAN GOLD CORPORATION

(An Exploration Stage Company)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

We use the terms “Magellan,” “we,” “our,” and “us” to refer to Magellan Gold Corporation.

Note 1 – Organization, Basis of Presentation, and Continuance of Operations:

We were incorporated on September 28, 2010, in Nevada. We are an exploration stage company and our principal business is the acquisition and exploration of mineral resources. We have not presently determined whether our mineral properties contain mineral reserves that are economically recoverable.

We have only recently begun operations and we rely upon the sale of our securities and borrowings from significant shareholders to fund our operations as we have not generated any revenue.

Basis of Presentation

We prepare our financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information in accordance with Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013, are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. While we believe that the disclosures presented herein are adequate and not misleading, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the footnotes thereto contained in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Liquidity and Going Concern

Our financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that we will be able to meet our obligations and continue our operations during the next fiscal year. Asset realization values may be significantly different from carrying values as shown in our financial statements and do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values of assets and liabilities should we be unable to continue as a going concern. At September 30, 2013, we had not yet generated any revenues or achieved profitable operations and we have accumulated losses of $762,526 since our inception. We expect to incur further losses in the development of our business, all of which casts substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  In addition, at September 30, 2013 we were overdrawn by $89,604 on our line of credit with a significant shareholder, although no demand for remedy has been made nor is expected.  Our ability to continue as a going concern depends on our ability to generate future profits and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations arising from normal business operations when they come due. We anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of additional debt financing, as well as equity financing from the sale of our common stock.  From time to time we may also seek to obtain short-term loans from officers, directors or significant shareholders.

Note 2– Mineral Rights:  

As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, our mineral rights consist of the following:

	September 30, 2013		December 31, 2012
Sacramento Mountains Project	$	10,350	$	-
Pony Express Claims		4,471		4,471
Silver District Claims		143,200		113,200
Total Mineral Rights	$	158,021	$	117,671

Sacramento Mountains Project

Magellan staked fifty (50) unpatented lode mining claims known as the “Sacramento Mountains Project” totaling approximately 1,000 acres, in which they have a 100% unencumbered interest, on Federal (BLM) land in October 2012 and filed the claims with the BLM in January 2013.    The Project is located in the northwest corner of the Sacramento Mountains approximately 10 miles WNW of Needles, California.    In August 2013, we renewed these claims with the Bureau of Land Management and recorded a notice of intent to hold mining claims with San Bernardino County in September 2013 and our claims remain in good standing through August 31, 2014.  

In August 2013, we paid $8,639 to the Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) representing a deposit for potential reclamation of proposed drilling sites should the Company decide to drill exploratory holes on its Sacramento Mountains project.  A plan of operation for a small exploration drill program was submitted and approved by the Bureau of Land Management earlier in 2013.    As of the date of this report no decision to drill within the project has been made.  The deposit is included in other non-current assets in the accompanying balance sheet at September 30, 2013 as a Deposit with BLM.

Pony Express Claims

On November 18, 2010, we filed two unpatented lode mining claims giving us the right to explore, develop and conduct mining operations on these claims located in Churchill County, Nevada.    

In August 2013, we renewed these claims with the Bureau of Land Management and recorder a notice of intent to hold mining claims with Churchill County in September 2013 and our claims remain in good standing through August 31, 2014.  

Silver District Claims

On August 28, 2012, we entered into an option agreement with Columbus Silver Corporation, which grants the Company the right to acquire all of Columbus’ interest in its Silver District properties located in La Paz County, Arizona.  We paid Columbus an initial $63,200 on signing of the option.  The funds to make the initial payment were obtained through the sale of common stock to John D. Gibbs, a significant investor.  In addition, we made a $50,000 payment in December 2012 to Columbus as required under the option agreement.  During January 2013, we paid an additional $30,000 for an underlying purchase obligation entered into between Columbus and a third party.  See also Note 5 regarding certain commitments for future payments for these claims.

6

The Silver District property consists of 108 unpatented mining claims, four patented claims held under lease agreements, and one state lease, totaling over 2,000 acres.  The property is subject to third party net smelter royalties of varying percentages. We also must make payments under the option agreement to maintain the underlying claims, leases and purchases contracts.

In August 2013, we renewed these claims with the Bureau of Land Management and recorded a notice of intent to hold mining claims with La Paz County and these claims remain in good standing through August 31, 2014.   In July 2013, we staked and filed with the Bureau of Land Management and recorded with La Paz County an additional 9 claims or approximately 180 acres to our Silver District land holdings.   We renewed these claims with the Bureau of Land Management in August 2013 and they remain in good standing through August 31, 2014.

During August and September 2013, we made payments to a third party landowner of $7,500 for an annual lease payment on a patented claim under the Columbus option agreement and successfully renewed our exploration permit on portions of a State section that comprises part of our Silver District land package.   

Note 3 – Line of Credit – Related Parties:

Effective December 31, 2012, we entered into a line of credit arrangement with John D. Gibbs, a significant investor, to facilitate timely cash flows for the Company’s operations.  The line of credit provides for a maximum balance of $250,000, and accrues interest at 6% annually.  The line of credit expires and becomes due on December 31, 2014.

At the effective date of the line of credit, Mr. Gibbs was owed a total of $65,000 from previous loans, $40,000 of which was from the previous year and $25,000 of which was received during 2012.  These amounts were converted to the line of credit at December 31, 2012 and are included in the line of credit balance at December 31, 2012 and September 30, 2013.  In addition, on December 31, 2012 the Company drew an additional $50,000 on the line of credit to facilitate a required payment due for our Silver District claim.  At December 31, 2012 a total of $115,000 was outstanding on the credit facility.  Accrued interest on the credit facility was $4,524 at December 31, 2012, and is included in Due to related parties on the accompanying balance sheet.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 additional draws totaling $224,604, which was primarily used to fund working capital and the $30,000 payment made under the Silver District option agreement in January 2013.  At September 30, 2013 a total of $339,604 was outstanding under this line of credit, and is therefore overdrawn by $89,604 at September 30, 2013.  No demand from the significant shareholder to remedy the overdraft has been received and none is expected.  In addition, a total of $14,817 of interest has been accrued on this obligation and is included in Due to related parties on the accompanying balance sheet at September 30, 2013.

Note 4 – Notes Payable – Related Parties:

Effective August 23, 2011, we entered into an unsecured loan from John Power, the Company’s sole executive officer, evidenced by a $20,000 promissory note. The promissory note bears interest at 6% per annum and is payable on demand with thirty days’ notice from the lender.  In July 2013, the Company paid Mr. Power $1,198 representing accrued interest on this note at June 30, 2013.  At September 30, 2013 a total of $283 of interest was accrued on this promissory note and is included in Due to related parties on the accompanying balance sheet at September 30, 2013.

7

Note 5 - Commitments and Contingencies:

Under the Columbus Silver - Silver District option, we were required to make a $400,000 payment due December 31, 2013, and a final $500,000 payment due December 31, 2014 to complete the purchase. On August 20, 2013 the agreement was amended to defer the due dates of the $400,000 and $500,000 payments to December 31, 2014 and 2015, respectively.  In addition, the amendment also requires that any payments due in 2013 and 2014 are mandatory regardless of whether or when the option agreement is terminated.  We are also required to make payments under the option agreement to maintain the underlying claims, leases and purchase contracts.  The required payments include an $80,000 payment on a purchase contract for a patented claim in February 2014 and federal and state claim renewal payments in August and September 2014 of approximately $25,000.

Note 6 – Shareholders’ Equity:

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 no shares of common stock or other equity instruments or derivatives were issued.

Note 7 – Related Party Transactions:

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

We use the terms “Magellan,” “we,” “our,” and “us” to refer to Magellan Gold Corporation.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements, including the notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The discussion of results, causes and trends should not be construed to imply any conclusion that these results or trends will necessarily continue into the future.

Forward-Looking Statements

Some of the information presented in this Form 10-Q constitutes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that include terms such as “may,” “will,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “continue,” “believe,” “plan,” or the like, as well as all statements that are not historical facts.  Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations.  Although we believe our expectations are based on reasonable assumptions within the bounds of our knowledge of our business and operations, there can be no assurance that actual results will not differ materially from expectations.

All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made.  We undertake no obligation to update such statements to reflect events that occur or circumstances that exist after the date on which they are made.

Overview

We were incorporated on September 28, 2010, in Nevada. We are an exploration stage company and our principal business is the acquisition and exploration of mineral resources. We have not presently determined whether the properties to which we have mineral rights contain mineral reserves that are economically recoverable.

We have only had limited operations to date and we rely upon the sale of our securities and borrowings from significant investors to fund our operations, as we have not generated any revenue.

In August 2012, we entered into an option agreement to purchase  “The Silver District” project consisting of 85 unpatented lode mining claims, 4 patented lode claims, an Arizona mining lease of 154.66 acres and 23 unpatented mill site claims, totaling over2,000 acres in Lap Paz County, Arizona.   In addition to our option payments to Columbus Exploration f/k/a Columbus Silver (“Columbus”) to acquire the project, the underlying claims are also subject to third party lease and or purchase obligations and net smelter royalties of varying percentages.

The Company is obligated to make certain payments during 2013 to maintain its option on the Silver District properties.  In addition, $400,000 and $500,000 are due to Columbus on December 31, 2014 and 2015, respectively.  There is no assurance that Magellan will obtain the funding necessary to make these payments.

10

We also staked fifty (50) unpatented lode mining claims known as the “Sacramento Mountains” project totaling approximately 1,000 acres, in which they have a 100% unencumbered interest, on Federal (BLM) land in October 2012 and filed the claims with the BLM in January 2013.    The Project is located in the northwest corner of the Sacramento Mountains approximately 10 miles WNW of Needles, California.  All filing and maintenance fees were paid in August 2013 to maintain these claims in good standing through August 31, 2014.

Our primary focus during the next twelve months, and depending on available resources, will be to acquire, explore, and if warranted and feasible, permit and develop our remaining mineral properties.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

We intend to meet our cash requirements for the next 12 months primarily through the expansion of and utilization of our line of credit established in December 2012 and the private placement of debt or equity instruments. We currently do not have any arrangements in place to complete private placement financings and there is no assurance that we will be successful in completing any such financings on terms that will be acceptable to us.

Effective December 31, 2012, we entered into a line of credit arrangement with John D. Gibbs, a significant investor, to facilitate timely cash flows for the Company’s operations.  The line of credit provides for a maximum balance of $250,000, and accrues interest at 6%, which is payable from time to time and due at maturity.  At September 30, 2013 the line of credit balance of $339,604 was overdrawn by $89,604.  The line of credit expires and becomes due on December 31, 2014.

Our primary priority is to retain our reporting status with the SEC, which means that we will first ensure that we have sufficient capital to cover our legal and accounting expenses. Once these costs are accounted for, in accordance with how much financing we are able to secure, we will focus on exploration and development of our mineral properties. We will likely not expend funds on the remainder of our planned activities unless we have the required capital.

Cash Flows

A summary of our cash provided by and used in operating, investing and financing activities is as follows:

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2013		2012
Net cash used in operating activities	$	(191,688)	$	(135,960	)
Net cash used in investing activities		(40,350)		(73,200	)
Net cash provided by financing activities		228,454		209,100
Net (decrease) increase in cash		(3,584)		(60)
Cash and cash equivalents, beginning of period		4,409		107
Cash and cash equivalents, end of period	$	825	$	47

As of September 30, 2013, we had $825 in cash and a $460,486 working capital deficit. This compares to cash of $47 and a working capital deficit of $170,518 at September 30, 2012.

14

Net cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, was $191,688 and was mainly comprised of our $(176,435) net loss during the period as well as decreases in accounts payable and accrued expenses totaling $9,071 and increases totaling $2,457 in amounts due to related parties.  In addition, in August 2013, we paid $8,639 to the Bureau of Land Management representing a deposit for potential reclamation of proposed drilling sites should the Company decide to drill exploratory holes on its Sacramento Mountains project.  As of the date of this report no decision to drill within the project area has been made but all of the applicable permits are in place.

Net cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, was $135,960 and was mainly comprised of our $(393,146) net loss during the period partially offset by certain non-cash financing costs of $145,000, abandonments and impairment charges totaling $103,036, as well as changes in other operating assets and liabilities.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 we used $40,350 of cash in investing activities, which is comprised of a $30,000 payment to maintain our option agreement associated with our Silver District claims, and $10,350 for the acquisition of our Sacramento Mountains claims.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012 we used $73,200 of cash in investing activities.  We paid $10,000 of cash representing advance minimum royalty payments applicable to our Secret Canyon Claims mineral rights.  We also invested $63,200 for the purchase of an option agreement with Columbus Silver Corporation, which grants the Company the right to acquire all of Columbus’ interest in its Silver District properties located in La Paz County, Arizona.  We paid Columbus the initial $63,200 on signing of the option.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, cash provided by financing activities was $228,454.  In December 2012, we entered into a line of credit arrangement with John D. Gibbs, a significant investor, to facilitate timely cash flows for the Company’s operations.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 we drew an additional $224,604 on this credit line, which was used primarily to pay for geological consultant, claim staking, claim maintenance and renewal costs and to fund our general corporate expenses. Also, during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, Mr. Power advanced the Company $24,500, all of which $20,650 has been repaid.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, cash provided by financing activities was $209,100.  We sold 13,149,091 common shares to Mr. Gibbs for $183,200 cash, and borrowed an additional $25,000.  In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, Mr. Power advanced the Company $11,460, of which $10,560 had been repaid at September 30, 2012.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures:

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including John C. Power, our President who is also our Principal Accounting Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management necessarily applied its judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures, which, by their nature, can provide only reasonable assurance regarding management’s control objectives.

Our management, including Mr. Power, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, Mr. Power concluded that the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of such date to provide assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding disclosures.

The SEC, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, adopted rules requiring every company that files reports with the SEC to include a management report on the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures in its periodic reports and an annual assessment of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting in its annual report. Neither this report nor our first Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2012, filed on April 5, 2013, includes a report of management's assessment regarding internal control over financial reporting due to a transition period established by SEC rules applicable to new public companies. Management will be required to provide an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Notes

Note 1 - Organization, Basis of Presentation, and Continuance of Operations:

Note 1 – Organization, Basis of Presentation, and Continuance of Operations:

We were incorporated on September 28, 2010, in Nevada. We are an exploration stage company and our principal business is the acquisition and exploration of mineral resources. We have not presently determined whether our mineral properties contain mineral reserves that are economically recoverable.

We have only recently begun operations and we rely upon the sale of our securities and borrowings from significant shareholders to fund our operations as we have not generated any revenue.

Basis of Presentation

We prepare our financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information in accordance with Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013, are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. While we believe that the disclosures presented herein are adequate and not misleading, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the footnotes thereto contained in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Liquidity and Going Concern

Our financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that we will be able to meet our obligations and continue our operations during the next fiscal year. Asset realization values may be significantly different from carrying values as shown in our financial statements and do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values of assets and liabilities should we be unable to continue as a going concern. At September 30, 2013, we had not yet generated any revenues or achieved profitable operations and we have accumulated losses of $762,526 since our inception. We expect to incur further losses in the development of our business, all of which casts substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  In addition, at September 30, 2013 we were overdrawn by $89,604 on our line of credit with a significant shareholder, although no demand for remedy has been made nor is expected.  Our ability to continue as a going concern depends on our ability to generate future profits and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations arising from normal business operations when they come due. We anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of additional debt financing, as well as equity financing from the sale of our common stock.  From time to time we may also seek to obtain short-term loans from officers, directors or significant shareholders.

Note 3 - Line of Credit - Related Parties:

Note 3 – Line of Credit – Related Parties:

Effective December 31, 2012, we entered into a line of credit arrangement with John D. Gibbs, a significant investor, to facilitate timely cash flows for the Company’s operations.  The line of credit provides for a maximum balance of $250,000, and accrues interest at 6% annually.  The line of credit expires and becomes due on December 31, 2014.

At the effective date of the line of credit, Mr. Gibbs was owed a total of $65,000 from previous loans, $40,000 of which was from the previous year and $25,000 of which was received during 2012.  These amounts were converted to the line of credit at December 31, 2012 and are included in the line of credit balance at December 31, 2012 and September 30, 2013.  In addition, on December 31, 2012 the Company drew an additional $50,000 on the line of credit to facilitate a required payment due for our Silver District claim.  At December 31, 2012 a total of $115,000 was outstanding on the credit facility.  Accrued interest on the credit facility was $4,524 at December 31, 2012, and is included in Due to related parties on the accompanying balance sheet.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 additional draws totaling $224,604, which was primarily used to fund working capital and the $30,000 payment made under the Silver District option agreement in January 2013.  At September 30, 2013 a total of $339,604 was outstanding under this line of credit, and is therefore overdrawn by $89,604 at September 30, 2013.  No demand from the significant shareholder to remedy the overdraft has been received and none is expected.  In addition, a total of $14,817 of interest has been accrued on this obligation and is included in Due to related parties on the accompanying balance sheet at September 30, 2013.

Sacramento Mountains Project

Magellan staked fifty (50) unpatented lode mining claims known as the “Sacramento Mountains Project” totaling approximately 1,000 acres, in which they have a 100% unencumbered interest, on Federal (BLM) land in October 2012 and filed the claims with the BLM in January 2013.    The Project is located in the northwest corner of the Sacramento Mountains approximately 10 miles WNW of Needles, California.    In August 2013, we renewed these claims with the Bureau of Land Management and recorded a notice of intent to hold mining claims with San Bernardino County in September 2013 and our claims remain in good standing through August 31, 2014.

In August 2013, we paid $8,639 to the Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) representing a deposit for potential reclamation of proposed drilling sites should the Company decide to drill exploratory holes on its Sacramento Mountains project.  A plan of operation for a small exploration drill program was submitted and approved by the Bureau of Land Management earlier in 2013.    As of the date of this report no decision to drill within the project has been made.  The deposit is included in other non-current assets in the accompanying balance sheet at September 30, 2013 as a Deposit with BLM.

Pony Express Claims

On November 18, 2010, we filed two unpatented lode mining claims giving us the right to explore, develop and conduct mining operations on these claims located in Churchill County, Nevada.

In August 2013, we renewed these claims with the Bureau of Land Management and recorder a notice of intent to hold mining claims with Churchill County in September 2013 and our claims remain in good standing through August 31, 2014.

Silver District Claims

On August 28, 2012, we entered into an option agreement with Columbus Silver Corporation, which grants the Company the right to acquire all of Columbus’ interest in its Silver District properties located in La Paz County, Arizona.  We paid Columbus an initial $63,200 on signing of the option.  The funds to make the initial payment were obtained through the sale of common stock to John D. Gibbs, a significant investor.  In addition, we made a $50,000 payment in December 2012 to Columbus as required under the option agreement.  During January 2013, we paid an additional $30,000 for an underlying purchase obligation entered into between Columbus and a third party.  See also Note 5 regarding certain commitments for future payments for these claims.

The Silver District property consists of 108 unpatented mining claims, four patented claims held under lease agreements, and one state lease, totaling over 2,000 acres.  The property is subject to third party net smelter royalties of varying percentages. We also must make payments under the option agreement to maintain the underlying claims, leases and purchases contracts.

In August 2013, we renewed these claims with the Bureau of Land Management and recorded a notice of intent to hold mining claims with La Paz County and these claims remain in good standing through August 31, 2014.   In July 2013, we staked and filed with the Bureau of Land Management and recorded with La Paz County an additional 9 claims or approximately 180 acres to our Silver District land holdings.   We renewed these claims with the Bureau of Land Management in August 2013 and they remain in good standing through August 31, 2014.

During August and September 2013, we made payments to a third party landowner of $7,500 for an annual lease payment on a patented claim under the Columbus option agreement and successfully renewed our exploration permit on portions of a State section that comprises part of our Silver District land package.
