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 Significant Accounting Policies:

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 mining rights 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.

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 twelve months. 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 March 31, 2012, we had not yet generated any revenues or achieved profitable operations and we have accumulated losses of $191,875 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. 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 equity financing from the sale of our common stock. We may also seek to obtain loans from officers, directors or significant shareholders. There are no current arrangements in place for equity funding or new loans.

Interim Reporting

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 month period ended March 31, 2012, 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 filed on March 30, 2012.



6







Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

We do not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Note 2 – Mineral Rights:

As of March 31, 2012, and December 31, 2011, our mineral rights consist of the following:

Secret Canyon Claims

On March 15, 2011, we purchased a six-month Option to explore a group of nine patented claims in Washoe County, Nevada, included as part of our Secret Canyon Claims, along with the right to renew the Option for an additional six months. The Option also granted us the right to enter into a Mining Lease during the Option period. On April 4, 2012, the Option was amended to extend the Option term from March 15, 2012, to June 15, 2012, in consideration for a cash payment of $10,000. The terms of the Option were also amended to reduce the amount due upon the exercise of the Option to Lease from $35,000 to $25,000 and to extend the second-phase $25,000 work commitment obligation due date from March 15, 2012 to June 15, 2012.

On September 28, 2010, we entered into a mining lease which granted us a 10 year lease giving us the right to explore, develop and conduct mining operations on a group of 70 unpatented lode mining claims, included as part of our Secret Canyon Claims, situated in Washoe County, Nevada. Under the terms of the lease, the lessor will receive a production royalty of up to three percent of net smelter returns. The lease requires us to make annual advance minimum royalty payments to the lessor ranging from $20,000 to $50,000 per year over the life of the lease. We have the right to extend the lease term for an additional 10 years.

Randall Claims

On October 2, 2010, we were assigned a mining lease from John C. Power our President and director, which granted us the remaining term of a 10 year lease executed on August 18, 2010, giving us the right to explore, develop and conduct mining operations on a group of 10 unpatented lode mining claims situated in Churchill County, Nevada. Under the terms of the lease, the lessor will receive a production royalty of up to three percent of net smelter returns. The lease requires us to make annual advance minimum royalty payments to the lessor ranging from $10,000 to $50,000 per year over the life of the lease. We have the right to extend the lease term for an additional 10 years.



7







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.

Note 3 – Notes Payable – Related Parties:

Effective February 28, 2012, we entered into an unsecured loan from John D. Gibbs, a significant investor, evidenced by a $25,000 promissory note. The promissory note bears interest at 6% per annum and is due upon demand.


Note 4 - Commitments and Contingencies:


Under our Option to explore a group of nine patented claims in Washoe County, Nevada, included as part of our Secret Canyon Claims, we are committed to spend at least $25,000 for mineral exploration, geology work, metallurgy work and on-site field work on these claims by June 15, 2012. As of March 31, 2012, we have satisfied $11,197 of this work commitment obligation.


Under our Randall Claims Lease, as amended, we are committed to spend at least $10,000 for exploration on these claims by June 30, 2012, as part of our first year lease obligation. As of March 31, 2012, we have satisfied $1,792 of this work commitment. In addition, we are obligated to expend an amount equal to each year’s annual advance minimum royalty in exploration, development, mining or mineral processing costs beginning with the second year of the lease. Our work commitment during the second year of the lease ending August 18, 2012, is $20,000. The excess of expenditures in one year can be carried forward to meet subsequent year’s obligations.


Note 5 – Shareholders’ Equity:


On January 24, 2012, we issued 5,000,000 common shares with a fair value of $50,000, or $0.01 per share, to Mr. Gibbs for $25,000 cash and in satisfaction of a $25,000 advance made to us by Mr. Gibbs in December 2011. The advance is reflected in advances payable - related parties on our December 31, 2011, balance sheet.

Note 6 – Related Party Transactions:

Conflicts of Interests

Athena Silver Corporation is a company under common control. Mr. Power is also a director and CEO of Athena. Mr. Gibbs is a significant investor in both Magellan and Athena. Magellan and Athena are both exploration stage companies involved in the business of acquisition and exploration of mineral resources.

Silver Saddle Resources, LLC is also a company under common control. Mr. Power and Mr. Gibbs are significant investors and managing members of Silver Saddle. Magellan and Silver Saddle are both exploration stage companies involved in the business of acquisition and exploration of mineral resources.




8






The existence of common ownership and common management could result in significantly different operating results or financial position from those that could have resulted had Magellan, Athena and Silver Saddle been autonomous.


Management Fees


On January 1, 2012, we extended, for one year, our month-to-month management agreement with Mr. Power requiring a monthly payment, in advance, of $2,500 as consideration for the day-to-day management of Magellan. During each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, we incurred $7,500 of management fees to Mr. Power and these costs are included in general and administrative expenses in our statement of operations.

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 mining rights 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 investors to fund our operations as we have not generated any revenue.

During 2011 we began pre-exploration work on our Secret Canyon Claims including soil sampling and the development of an assay grid on our patented claims under an Option to explore a group of nine patented claims in Washoe County, Nevada.

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

Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements, including the notes thereto, appearing in Part I. Item 1. of this report.

Operating expenses during the first quarter of 2011 were comprised of $9,114 of accounting and audit fees, $9,690 of legal fees, $7,500 of management fees to Mr. Power and $50 of travel-related expenses during the period.

Net loss

Our net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was $46,474 and $26,354, respectively. Net loss during the first quarter of 2012 was comprised of $45,433 of operating expenses described above plus $1,041 of interest expense.  Net loss during the first quarter of 2011 was comprised of operating expenses described above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

We intend to meet our cash requirements for the next 12 months through a combination of debt and equity financing by way of private placements. 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.

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.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK


Not applicable.


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 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 or our first Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011, filed on March 30, 2012, 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, 2012, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

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.
