NOTE 1 - Organization and Summary

Organization

Ruby Creek Resources, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the Province of British Columbia on May 3, 2006. The Company is an Exploration Stage Company. The Company’s principal business is the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties.

Effective January 29, 2009, the Company changed its jurisdiction from the Province of British Columbia to the State of Nevada. Effective the same date, the Company's authorized capital was changed from an unlimited number of common shares without par value to 500,000,000 common shares with a par value of $0.001 per share. Tanzania Ruby Creek Limited (TzRC) was formed in December 2011 (100% owned by the Company), Ruby Creek Resources (Tanzania) Limited (“RCRTz) was incorporated on May 21, 2010 in Tanzania, (a joint venture 70% owned by the Company), and Ruby Creek Gold (Tanzania) Limited (99% owned by the Company) and Ruby Creek Diamonds Limited (100% owned by the Company) were formed on August 10, 2011. Gold Standard (Tanzania) Limited (95% owned by the Company), was acquired on November 29, 2011 in the transaction described in Note 3c.

Going Concern

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company is in the exploration stage and has not generated revenues since inception. The Company has incurred significant losses from inception through February 29, 2012 of approximately $13,785,000, raising substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. Further, as discussed in Note 7A – Litigation, the Company commenced litigation againt Handeni Gold Inc (formerly Douglas Lake Minerals, Inc) related to claims for breaches of contract and fraud related to the Mkuvia Property. Handeni Gold Inc. has filed an action against the Company seeking certain payments and removal or cerain asset restrictions. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain necessary financing to settle outstanding debts, fund ongoing operating losses and to discover and successfully exploit economically recoverable mineral reserves on its resource properties and ultimately on the attainment of future profitable operations; and to the satisfactory outcome of the referenced litigation. The Company has funded its operations with private equity and/or convertible debt financing and is in the process of identifying additional sources of capital from debt or equity sources. While management believes it has made significant progress in its plan of operations, additional working capital and capital funds will be required to finance the Company’s operations until commercial operations commence and positive cash flow can be achieved. Management believes that additional financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company. However, there can be no assurance of this, nor is there any assurance that commercial operations will be achieved. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Basis of Presentation - Unaudited Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("US GAAP") for interim financial information and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and on the same basis as the annual audited consolidated financial statements.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, except as disclosed herein, there has been no material change in the information disclosed in the notes to the financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2011 included in the Company's annual report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The interim unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with those financial statements included in the Form 10-K which was filed with the SEC on December 14, 2011. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the period presented, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, have been made. Operating results for the three and six month periods ended February 29, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending August 31, 2012.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

There are no recent pronouncements issued which are expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

(a)

The Company entered into the following transactions with respect to the Mkuvia Project:

(i)

On November 7, 2009, a Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Handeni Gold Inc. (“Handeni”), formerly Douglas Lake Minerals, Inc., for the right to acquire and develop a 70% interest in 125 square kilometeres of the Handeni’s Mkuvia property;

(ii)

On March 7, 2010, a Tanzanian joint venture company ("RCRTz") was formed for the ownership and management of the 125 square kilometer aforementioned property. A second Joint Venture Agreement (the "JVA") was entered into by the parties with respect to an additional 255 square kilometers.The JVA provides that Maita's 5% interest in the entire project shall vest when RCRTz obtains a mining license over a portion of the area covered by the prospecting licenses.

(iii)

On May 24, 2010 (effective on June 16, 2010), the Company acquired the exclusive mineral and mining rights to the additional 255 square kilometers of the Mkuvia property from Handeni.

The original aggegate purchase price of $9,000,000 was recorded as the sum of cash paid, the present value of future payments and the fair value of restricted shares of Company common stock issued in the amount of $6,796,170. The series of future payments in the gross amount of $4,700,000 were recorded at their aggregate fair value of $3,576,170 determined utilizing a discount rate of 12% per annum which resulted in a discount to the purchase price of $1,123,830. Four million restricted shares of Company common stock issued with an agreed upon contractual value of $3,200,000 had a fair value of $2,120,000 which resulted in a further discount of the purchase price of $1,080,000. With respect to the future paments, the Company has been recording accretion reflected as interest expense in its results of operations. Interest expense for the three and six month periods ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011 include amortization of $90,359, $183,455, $60,658 and $119,533, respectively, of this debt discount.

Reference is made to Note 7A – Litigation, regarding the litigation commenced by the Company against Handeni related to the Companies various claims for breaches of contract and fraud. As discussed more fully in Note 7A, the Company has impaired the net value of the Mkuvia Project in the amount of $1,930,862, which represents the recorded asset value reduced by the accreted value of future payments as of February 29, 2012. While management believes that it will ultimately be successful in its lawsuit it believes that recording the impairment is necessary given the damages suffered by the Company as a result of Handeni’s breaches and fraud. The carrying value of the Mukuvia Project has been written down to $1 and the impairment loss is net of the liabilities also written off consistent with the position of impairing the asset, since the obligation to make any payments is tied to receiving title to the assets purchased.

(b) On September 9, 2010, as amended effective on February 14, 2011 and September 9, 2011, the Company signed an agreement with Carlos JK Kapinga (“CJKK”, the property rights owner), whereby the Company was granted the exclusive right to acquire the mineral and mining rights to the 350 sq km Kapinga property. On August 23, 2011 the transfer of 100% ownership of one of the prospecting license from CJKK to Ruby Creek Gold (Tanzania) Limited was recorded with the Commissioner For Minerals of the Ministry of Energy and Minerals as part of the foregoing transaction.

The aforementioned arrangement includes the following terms and conditions:

The purchase price is $155,000 plus 75,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, against which payments approximating $100,000 made through February 29, 2012 plus any subsequent payments will be applied. Any unpaid balance and the share issuance will be completed upon satisfactory transfer of the remaining prospecting licenses (three prospecting licenses in total) deemed necessary to transfer 100% ownership of all property rights to the Company;

The Kapinga mineral and mining rights cover the 350 square kilometer Kapinga property; and

Within 30 days of the issuance of the first mining license on the Kapinga properties, an additional payment of $100,000 and 75,000 shares of common stock of the Company plus within six months of that date a final payment of $100,000 in cash or common stock of the Company valued at $100,000, at the Company’s option.

All of the Company’s properties are located in the Liwale and Nachingwea Districts, Lindi Region of the United Republic of Tanzania.

(c) Effective January 12, 2011, the Company entered into transactions with Gold Standard Ltd. (“GSL”) and Gold Standard Tanzania Ltd, (“GSTL”). The GSL transaction was for the purchase of a 95% share (the “Shares”) of GSTL whose assets include a 10 year, 10 square kilometer mining license issued in September 2010, two Prospecting License Joint Ventures of 39 and 89 square kilometers, a Regional Environmental Report on the combined 128 square kilometer property and an established mining camp. The property is immediately adjacent to and on the west-northwest border of the Company’s Gold Plateau Project, specifically the Mkuvia 1 property acquired in November 2009. The GSTL transaction was for the purchase of mining equipment (the “Equipment”).

NOTE 3 - Mineral Properties, continued

On July 18, 2011, as amended and closed on November 29, 2011, the Company, GSTL, GSL and Robert Moriarty (with respect to representations and warranties and cooperation only) entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “APA”) which replaced in their entirety the agreements dated January 12, 2011 referred to in the preceding paragraph. Pursuant to the APA, the Company acquired the identical assets and assumed the identical liabilities for an aggregate purchase price of $3,540,000 plus assumed liabilities. The APA consideration consisted of:

$100,000;

1,200,000 shares of the restricted common stock of the Company with a fair value of $1.20 per share;

Issuance of a $1,026,000 Convertible Mining Equipment Note; and (the “Mining Equipment Note”); and

Issuance of a $974,000 Convertible Shares Note (the “Share Note”).

The principal balances of the Share Note and Mining Equipment Notes are payable in three equal tranches each aggregating $666,667 six, twelve and eighteen months after closing, plus accrued interest. Each note bears interest at 8% per annum on the declining balance. The Company may elect to pay the interest in cash or in common shares of the Company. For this purpose common shares will be valued at the volume average weighted price per share as defined in the APA on the payment due date. Until paid in full, the holder may elect to receive payment of any portion of interest and/or principal in restricted common shares of the Company with a conversion price of $0.75 per share with respect to the Mining Equipment Note and accrued interest and $1.00 per share with respect to the Share Note and accrued interest. The unpaid balance of the Mining Equipment Note and accrued interest is convertible at the holder’s option at any time. Also at the holder’s option, $324,667 plus accrued interest of the Share Note is convertible on inception to the day prior to the due date of the first payment (May 26, 2012), $324,667 plus accrued interest is convertible between May 26, 2012 and the day prior to the due date of the second payment (November 26, 2012) and any remaining principal plus accrued interest is convertible between November 26, 2012 and maturity. In each case the conversion amount may be reduced by amounts that can be offset by the Company against the Share Note per the indemnification and hold harmless obligations of GSL and Robert Moriarty per terms of the APA.

On the closing date:

The intrinsic value of the conversion feature of the Equipment Note of $615,600 has been reflected as a discount of the Equipment Note and as an addition to additional paid-in capital, resulting in an effective interest rate of 31.8% on the convertible note;

ii.

The intrinsic value of the conversion feature of the Share Note of $194,800 has been reflected as a discount of the Share Note and as an addition to additional paid-in capital resulting in an effective interest rate of 31.8% on the convertible note;

iii.

The net liability assumed in the transaction of $395,000, which is payable in scheduled non-interest bearing future payments, was recorded at its present value using a discount rate of 8% per annum. The resulting discount of $69,795 was recorded as a reduction of assets acquired.

iv.

The mineral property was grossed up by an estimated Tanzanian deferred tax liability in the amount of $405,000, resulting from the excess of book value over tax value of mineral and mining rights of GST.

The Company recorded the allocation of the purchase price of the assets acquired as follows:

Mineral properties	$	2,044,205
Mining and exploration equipment		2,426,000
Deferred income taxes		(405,000	)
	$	4,065,205

The Company recorded the allocation of the debt assumed as follows:

NOTE 3 - Mineral Properties, continued

Effective on November 29, 2011, GSL elected to convert the Equipment Note to shares of the Company. The Company issued 1,368,000 of its common shares and recorded $615,600 as non-cash accretion interest expense in its results of operations for the six months ended February 29, 2012.

On April 6, 2011 the Company and Maita, the original owner of the mining license and other rights to be acquired in the GSL transaction, entered into a settlement agreement pursuant to which the Company satisfied certain GSL obligations to Maita. The Company paid $200,000 on execution of the settlement agreement, which was applied to the $595,000 in obligations assumed in the aforementioned GSTL transaction. In consideration of this payment, the Company assumed certain of Maita’s security interests in the GSL assets that existed at that time, Maita withdrew a joint venture termination notice that he had caused to be issued to GSL, delivered the mining license to counsel to be held in escrow and to be delivered to the Company upon closing the GSL transaction and agreed to cooperate in the physical transfer of certain GSL and GSTL assets physically in his possession. As a result of the consummation of the GSL transaction on November 29, 2011, the mining license was released to the Company.

(d) The Company entered into transactions to acquire six additional properties with corresponding prospecting licenses or prospecting license applications pending. The purchase price of these properties aggregated $270,000, of which approximately $215,000 was paid as of February 29, 2012. The balance of the purchase price of each transaction becomes due and payable upon the transfer of each prospecting license to the Company. These payments were for the acquisition of the Keigi property and corresponding prospecting license; the Tundura North property and the Tundura South Property and corresponding prospecting licenses. The balance remaining due on these properties of $65,000 will be paid as the related prospecting licenses are issued in the Company’s name.

NOTE 4 - Bridge Loan

On December 22, 2009, the Company received $75,000 in proceeds of a bridge loan transaction (the “Bridge”) from a significant shareholder and advisor (currently a director) (“Holder”). The loan bears interest at the rate of 12% per annum. The loan agreement grants the holder the right to convert any portion of the balance plus accrued interest into common shares of the Company at a price of $0.125 per share. The original January 22, 2010 due date of the Bridge was extended several times by mutual consent, ultimately to March 23, 2010. In consideration of the loan and these extensions, the Company agreed to additional consideration in the form of units of common shares and additional warrants. This additional consideration resulted in the issuance of an aggregate of 180,000 common shares and two year warrants to purchase an additional 390,000 common shares at $0.25 per share. On March 23, 2010, the Company defaulted on the payment of interest and principal on the Bridge. Upon occurrence of the default, the Holder converted the outstanding balance of the note ($75,000) and accrued interest ($2,244) into 1,544,877 shares of common stock of the Company at the contractual conversion price of $0.05 per share. In addition, as a result of this default, the Company was obligated to issue to the Holder a two year warrant to purchase 1,500,000 common shares at an exercise price of $0.05 per share. On November 30, 2010, the Holder exercised his conversion rights to the 1,500,000 common share default warrant. The Company received $75,000 and issued 1,500,000 restricted common shares.

NOTE 5 - Convertible Notes – Related Parties

On November 27, 2009, the Company issued two $50,000, 11% convertible notes for total proceeds of $100,000 to a significant shareholder and special advisor (and now a director) and to another significant shareholder. These notes were due and payable on November 27, 2010. In addition, each noteholder received a warrant to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.05 for a term of three years. The Company calculated an associated beneficial conversion feature and discount of $100,000, which amount was reflected as a discount of the face amount of these debentures on the date of the transaction. The amount was determined using the relative fair value method. The Company estimated the fair value of the warrant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: an expected life of three years, a risk-free interest rate of 2.57%, and a dividend rate of 0% and an expected volatility of 116%. This discount was accreted to interest expense over the term of the debentures, and was reflected as a non-cash charge over the term of these notes.

On November 27, 2010, the holders of the convertible notes elected to convert these notes, plus an aggregate of $11,000 in interest earned, into 2,220,000 shares of common stock at the conversion price of $0.05 per common share.

In the year ended August 31, 2011, the 2,000,000 warrants were exercised for proceeds of $100,000.

NOTE 6 - Other Related Party Transactions

The former Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) (see Note 7f ) was indebted to the Company for $23,345 and $1,150 at February 29, 2012 and August 31, 2011, respectively. At February 29, 2012 and August 31, 2011, $12,000 and $49,580, respectively, was owing to a significant shareholder, director and special advisor for consulting services. At February 29, 2012 and August 31, 2011, the Company was indebted to a member of its board of directors elected on July 15, 2011, for legal fees incurred in the amount of $12,929 and $32,498, respectively, including reimbursed expenses of $429 and $307, respectively. At February 29, 2012, $5,824 was owing to the current CEO and $17,172 to the CFO.

All related party transactions are in the normal course of business and are measured at the exchange amount, which is the amount of consideration established and agreed to by the related parties.

NOTE 7 – Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

In connection with the agreements described in Note 3a related to the Mkuvia Gold Project, it has come to the Company’s attention that Handeni and Maita have been permitting a third party to continuously conduct prospecting activities and allegedly conveyed certain of the prospecting licenses and joint venture rights acquired as part of the Mkuvia transactions to third parties, at a date subsequent to the effective dates of the initial transaction, in violation of the Company’s ownership of exclusive mineral and mining rights. Regarding this matter, Handeni has previously disclosed in its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended November 30, 2011 filed with the SEC on January 17, 2012, that it “is currently investigating through local counsel the registration particulars of prospecting licenses numbered 5664/2009 and 5669/2009, which form a part of the current Joint Venture Company project [which refers to the joint venture with Ruby Creek]. This investigation relates to the reported registration of prospecting licenses numbered 5664/2009 and 5669/2009 to a third party without the Company’s (Handeni’s) approval, in unclear circumstances.” On February 8, 2012 the Company filed a Summons with Notice in the Supreme Court of the State of New York against Handeni (Douglas Lake Minerals, Inc. as the named defendant) for breach of contract, fraud and breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the violation of joint venture agreements. The relief sought was for compensatory and consequential damages in the amount of $10,000,000. On April 2, 2012, the Company further filed a Complaint in the Supreme Court of the State of New York against Handeni (Douglas Lake Minerals, Inc. as the named defendant). In that complaint the Company is seeking damages caused by Handeni for their violation of the parties agreements and fraud. The Company is seeking $17,000,000 in damages, exclusive of interest, costs and legal fees. As a consequence of the foregoing, the Company has not obtained an initial mining license on the Mkuvia property nor received the required environmental study which would have triggered a series of payments. Further, as a result of Handeni’s breaches, the Comapany has not made a $450,000 payment originally due on June 1, 2011 to Handeni pursuant to the May 24, 2010 agreement, among other things. In the opinion of the Company’s Tanzanian counsel, the Company has good interest in the prospecting licenses (“PL”) free and clear of any liens and encumbrances and under Tanzanian law any dealings relating to the PL’s and the joint venture rights made subsequent to the dates when the Commissioner of the Ministry of Energy and Mining issued the Certificates of Acknowledgment of the joint venture agreements would not be recognized and they would not affect the rights of the Company in the PL’s. Further, counsel advises that there are no provisions under Tanzanian law in relation to mineral rights which would permit the PL’s to be forfeited or otherwise withdrawn in the event of a change of ownership.

On February 23, 2012, Handeni filed a Notice of Claim against the Company in the Supreme Court of British Columbia claiming breaches of the agreements between the parties and seeking (i) payments as stipulated in the preceding paragraph of $450,000, (ii) 20% of certain private placement proceeds received by the Company ($917,100), (iii) consent of the Company to remove the restrictive resale legend affixed to the 4,000,000 restricted common shares of the Company issued as partial consideration for the properties.and (iv) the right to market and sell the property to third parties. These amounts are included in the liabilities discussed in the next paragraph which have been offset in the determination of the impairment.

Management believes that the Company has suffered significant damages and while it is confident of the merits of its position and that the Company will ultimately be successful in its lawsuit, management has provided an impairment of the Mkuvia assets acquired offset by the recorded amount of the corresponding liabilities, to a nominal value of $1 as of February 29, 2012. A charge of $1,930,682 is reflected in the accompanyng statement of operations for the three and six month periods ended Februay 29, 2012. Offsetting the liabilities to Handeni is appropriate and consistent with the position of impairing the assets, since the obligation to make any payments is tied to proper title to the assets purchased.

NOTE 7 – Commitments and Contingencies, continued

B. Commitments

Effective June 4, 2010, the Company entered into an Advisory Agreement with Maita (“Advisor”), the original owner of the prospecting licenses of the Mkuvia property Project. The initial term of the agreement is for a three year period. The Advisor or the Company may terminate this Agreement at any time by giving the other party ninety (90) days prior written notice of termination. This Agreement may be renewed for successive one-year periods on mutually acceptable terms. Compensation is comprised of $1,000 for each Director’s meeting the Advisor attends and 300,000 shares of common stock of the Company as follows: 50,000 shares vested upon signing, 75,000 shares issuable on June 4, 2011; 75,000 shares issuable on June 4, 2012 and 100,000 shares on June 4, 2013. In the year ended August 31, 2010, the Company recognized $2,000 in fees paid and $19,500 in stock based compensation, which was the fair market value of the 50,000 shares issued.

NOTE 8 - Common Stock and Common Stock Purchase Options

In October 2011 the Company commenced an offering of units. Each unit consists of one common share and one share purchase warrant. Two warrants are required to purchase one common share at a price of $1.50 per share for a period of up to two years. Through February 29, 2012, the Company sold 300,000 units and received proceeds of $240,000.

In addition, during the six month period ended February 29, 2012:

1,164,603 warrants exercisable at $0.05 per share were converted to 1,225,000 restricted common shares on a cashless basis.

1,835,000 private placement warrants were exercised to acquire 967,500 common shares for net proceeds of $328,750.

On February 15, 2012, the Company offered the holders of its $1.00 common stock purchase warrants issued in connection with a private placement the right to purchase two common shares for each $1.00 warrant for a limited time. In February, 2012, the holder of 10,000 such warrants exercised, paid $10,000 and received 20,000 common shares. In the period from March 1, 2012 to March 30, 2012, the holders of 611,500 such warrants exercised, paid $611,500 in proceeds and received 1,223,000 common shares. The 1,243,000 shares issued to the warrant holders who accepted this offer had a weighted average fair value of $0.72 per share on the dates of offer as compared to the original per share exercise price of $0.50, or $0.22 per share. This transaction has been treated as a capital transaction and the fair value of $278,000 has been recorded in additional paid in capital. The balance of these unexercised warrants to purchase 8,609,500 common shares at $1.00 per share remain outstanding under their original terms.

These options include a cashless exercise provision. The fair value of these options determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using a risk-free interest rate of .52% per annum and a volatility of 105% was $58,000 and is included in stock based compensation.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

As used in this quarterly report: (i) the terms "we", "us", "our" and the "Company" mean Ruby Creek Resources, Inc.; (ii) "SEC" refers to the Securities and Exchange Commission; (iii) "Exchange Act" refers to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; and (iv) all dollar amounts refer to United States dollars unless otherwise indicated.

The following discussion of our plan of operations, results of operations and financial condition for the three month period ended November 30, 2011 should be read in conjunction with our unaudited interim financial statements and related notes for the three month period ended November 30, 2011 included in this quarterly report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including, but not limited to, some of which are outside our control.

Plan of Operations

Our plan of operations for the next year is to commence gold mining production and to continue exploration activities on our properties acquired and to be acquired. Our Gold Plateau project will approximate 1500 sq km (579 sq miles) including properties currently owned and assuming closing of all properties currently in contract. The major properties currently owned include the Mkuvia property, Gold Standard, Kapinga and Keigi. With the closing of the Gold Standard acquisition on November 29, 2011, we now own our first mining license, which allows us to begin commercial gold mining operations. Reference is made to Note 7A – Litigation, regarding litiagation commenced by the Company related to the Mkuvia properties.

Due to our lack of operating history and lack of operating revenues, uncertainty on the availability of adequate financial resources to support operations and to fund future payment, there exists substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. In March 2012, we commenced test mining on the Gold Standard mining license. Even if we complete our current exploration and test mining programs and commence mining operations on our Gold Standard mining license and we are successful in identifying mineral deposits, we will have to spend substantial funds on further drilling and engineering studies, mining equipment and/or contractors before we will know if we have a commercially viable mineral deposit or reserve and are able to achieve positive cash flow from operations. Our plan of operations for the next twelve months is to obtain the funding necessary for the continued exploration, development of the Mkuvia Gold Project and commencement of exploration and mining operations on the Gold Standard property. Further, there are other potential exploration properties currently under review.

Our geological team will perform geological studies to identify areas where mining licenses and mining activities would be most productive. As these sites are identified, we will file for additional mining licenses and our production team will assess what equipment and support structures are necessary to maximize production. Although we have received our first mining license and plan to commence gold mining operations in the next few months, we expect to continue to incur operating losses for the foreseeable future. We base this expectation, in part, on the fact that we have not been able to quantify gold reserves on our properties or establish that we can extract and process gold economically and at a level sufficient to support operations.

Liquidity and Financial Condition

At February 29, 2012, we had cash balances of $250,000 and a working capital deficit of $350,000, including a $549,000 convertible note payable to Gold Standard (see Note 3c). In addition to working capital requirements, our need for liquidity includes payment obligations remaining under our Kapinga, Gold Standard and other property purchases. Reference is made to Notes 3a and 7A to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere herein for a discussion of the litigation the Company commenced in February 2012 against Handeni Gold Inc. with respect to the Mkuvia Properties. As a consequence of that litigation, the financial statements reflect an impairment provision of $1,931,000 which is the recorded amount of Mkuvai mineral rights reduced by the associated liabilities. As a result of the Handeni litigation, certain payments to Handeni have been suspended. Substantial amounts of the remaining obligations, principally the Gold Standard, may be converted to or satisfied in shares of our common stock. Effective on September 9, 2011, we acquired the mineral and mining rights to three properties which will be covered by prospecting licenses on a total of 350 sq km property known as the Kapinga Properties, under the following terms and conditions, as modified from an earlier arrangement:

	•	A purchase price of $155,000 plus 75,000 shares of Company common stock, against which payments of $60,000 were made through August 31, 2011. Any unpaid balance and the share issuance will be completed upon satisfactory transfer of the remaining prospecting licenses deemed necessary to transfer 100% ownership of all property rights to the Company;
	•	The Company will acquire a 100% interest in KAP 1,2,3
	•	The Kapinga mineral and mining rights have been expanded to cover the 350 sq km Kapinga property plus an additional 15 sq km contiguous with other Company properties; and

On November 29, 2011 we concluded the acquisition of a 95% interest in Gold Standard Tanzania Ltd, (“GSTL”). GSTL’s assets include a 10 year, 10 square kilometer mining license issued in September 2010, and other assets including two Prospecting License Joint Ventures of 39 and 89 square kilometers, a Regional Environmental Report on the combined 139 square kilometer property, mining equipment and an established mining camp. The purchase price was $3,000,000 in cash, convertible promissory notes and stock, as well as the assumption of $585,000 in GSTL liabilities. (See Note 3c to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included herein). The property is immediately adjacent to and on the west-northwest border of the Company’s Gold Plateau Project.

All of the properties comprising the Gold Plateau Project are located in the Liwale and Nachingwea Districts, Lindi Region of the United Republic of Tanzania.

In the six months ended February 29, 2012 and for the subsequent period through April 16, 2012, we received additional funding as follows:

·	On October 2011, we commenced an offering of equity securities pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D and Regulation S at a price of $0.75 per unit. Through December 5, 2011, the Company sold 320,000 units of this offering and received proceeds of $240,000 and issued associated $1.50 two year warrants to purchase an additional 160,000 shares. If all of these warrants were exercised it would result in proceeds of an additional $240,000. We incurred and paid $15,000 in commissions related to these funds received.

·	In the six months ended February 29, 2012, private placement warrants were exercised to acquire 1,082,500 common shares for net proceeds of $386,250.

·	A Director exercised certain Bridge Loan default warrants resulting in the issuance of 390,000 common shares for $97,500 in proceeds and certain compensation warrants to purchase 900,000 common shares for $45,000 in proceeds.

·	On February 15, 2012, the Company offered the holders of its $1.00 common stock purchase warrants issued in connection with a private placement the right to purchase two common shares for each $1.00 warrant for a limited time. Through March 31, 2012, the holders of 621,500 such warrants exercised, paid $621,500 in proceeds and received 1,243,000 common shares. The unexercised remaining quantity of this class of warrant to purchase 8,609,500 common shares at $1.00 per share remain outstanding for the balance of their original two year terms.

8% Convertible Share Note – Gold Standard transaction		974,000			974,000
Total		16,885,500			$13,379,000

(a)

These securities include cashless exercise provisions. (b) Compensatory options include certain vesting provisions.

If all of the warrants and options were exercised we could receive an additional $11,447,750 in proceeds, excluding proceeds of $1,931,250 of securities with cashless exercise provisions. We cannot however predict if market conditions would be favorable, or that the various holders would exercise their rights even if the various exercise prices were lower than the market price of our shares.

Future Financings

We anticipate that any future additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock or other securities convertible into our common stock. In addition to equity and equity related financing sources, we believe that debt financing may be a viable alternative for funding additional phases of exploration and to fund actual mining operations once production commences. We expect mining operations to commence by March 31, 2012 exploiting the initial mining license acquired in the Gold Standard acquisition. However, while management believes that it will be successful, there can be no assurance that any potential subsequent financings will be, or that any funds raised will be sufficient for us to conduct and sustain our operations, fund our obligations under property acquisition agreements and pay our expenses for the next twelve months. In the absence of such financing, we will not be able to continue exploration of our venture prospecting licenses for the Gold Plateau, and our business plan could fail. Even if we are successful in obtaining debt or equity financing and/or generate positive cash flow from operations to fund our various acquisition and exploration programs, there is no assurance that we will obtain the funding necessary to pursue any advanced exploration of any prospecting licenses we presently have or that we may acquire or that the any project will yield commercially viable levels of minerals. If we do not continue to obtain additional financing, we will be forced to limit or abandon our plan of operations.

We believe that the nature of the deposit at the Gold Plateau readily lends itself to producing gold with a reasonable level of investment and the discovery of areas on the Project where gold grades will exceed the economically viable concentration levels. This has been the experience with artisanal mining on the Mkuvai and Gold Standard properties. While we have no assurance of such results, we would intend to use positive cash flow generated to fund and reduce the need to raise capital. The cash flow expected to be generated from operations expands gold production and funds placer and potentially source rock exploration.

Results of Operations for the three months and six months ended February 29, 2012.

Mining Exploration and Operating Costs

During the three months and six months ended February 29, 2012, mining, exploration and operating costs were $429,340 and $802,802 respectively, as compared to $342,800 and $574,030 in the comparable periods of the preceding year. This is reflective of our activities following the acquisition of the mineral and mining rights to the Gold Standard and Mkuvia properties as well as activities to advance our progress towards commencing production. Specific activities included purchasing, retention and training of personnel, ongoing construction of our mining camp, equipment maintenance and repair and further developing our extraction techniques. Current periods include a $300,000 provision for the repair and refurbishment of equipment acquired in the Gold Standard transcation.

Exploration activities were directed at identifying what we believe will be the most productive mining sites based on our samples of gold concentrations. We continued to explore other potential prospecting sites, which activities will increase as our properties increase, and especially now that we have obtained our first mining license with the Gold Standard acquisition. We also greatly enhanced our in country management by adding a highly qualified operations specialist.

In order to support our exploration and mining activities we continue to improve and expand our base camp. This included upgrading our living quarters as well as our cooking and lavatory facilities. We will incur similar costs to improve the camp located on the Gold Standard property. We also incurred substantial costs for travel and transportation and food and supplies. In preparation for commencing production we shifted approximately $83,000 from exploration to production costs while increasing our security costs by approximately $113,000 and our camp support facility costs by approximately $201,000 during the six months ended February 29, 2012 as compared to the six month period from the prior year.

Consulting Services

During the three months and six months ended February 29, 2012, we incurred $237,130 and $424,801, respectively, in consulting costs as compared to $99,873 and $192,807 in the comparable periods of the preceding year. We incurred consulting costs for a wide range of advisory and support services to assist us with our operations in Tanzania, to enhance our financing strategies and for other legal and administrative improvements. Of the total amount we incurred, $203,264 and $356,268 was satisfied through stock based compensation during the three months and six months ended February 29, 2012, respectively. During three months and six months ended February 28, 2011 of the total amount we incurred, $49,610 and $108,355 was satisfied through stock based compensation, respectively.

Interest and Financing Fees

During the three months and six months ended February 29, 2012 , we incurred approximately $157,627 and $863,586, respectively, in interest and financing fees as compared to $116,356 and $256,113 in the comparable periods of the preceding year. During the six months ended February 29, 2012, we incurred a non-cash interest charge of $615,600 arising from the conversion by the holders of the $1,026,000 Equipment Note issued in the acquisition of Gold Standard, Ltd. into 1,368,000 common shares. This charge represented the intrinsic value of the conversion feature. The remaining amounts incurred in 2012 of $228,486 were non-cash charges for the accretion of debt discount related to the amounts due Handeni and Gold Standard and accrued interest of $19,500 on the Gold Standard Share Note.

Management Services

During three months and six months ended February 29, 2012, we incurred $359,210 and $673,660 respectively, in management services compared to $119,148 and $257,802 in the comparable periods of the preceding year. Of those amounts approximately $185,000 and $395,000, respectively, was paid in the form of stock based compensation for the three and six month periods end February 29, 2012. Of the total amount incurred during the three months and six month period ended February 29, 2011, approximately $47,000 and $134,000 was paid in the form stock based compensation. In these periods stock based compensation represented the fair value of compensatory stock options and warrants and common shares earned.

General and Administrative, Professional Fees, and Shareholder Relations

During the three months and six months ended February 29, 2012, we incurred approximately $427,398 and $750,650, respectively, in General and Administrative, Professional Fees, and Shareholder Relations compared to $211,102 and $436,649 in the comparable periods of the preceding year. These expenses increased in a manner consistent with the increased complexity and scope of operations of the Company, travel and related costs, directors and officers insurance, additional support staff and facilities costs as well legal and other professional fees.

Impairment – Mineral Properties and Equipment

In connection with the Handeni litigation described in Note 7A – Litigation of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and Part II, Item 1. Legal Proceedings included elsewhere herein, the Company provided an impairment provision of $1,931,000, which is equal to the carrying value as of February 29, 2012 of the Mkuvia Properties ($6,796,000) acquired from Handeni, reduced by recorded liabilites to Handeni as of February 29, 2012 ($4,865,000). While we are confident that we will be successful in this litigation, we have recorded this non-cash impairment because of uncertainties associated with litigation and to reflect the potential impairment that could occur in the unlikely event we are not successful in this matter. Current periods also include a $300,000 provision for the impairment of equipment.

Net Loss

The net loss approximated $3,867,000 and $5,794,000 for the three month and six month periods ended February 29, 2012 as compared to $895,000 and $1,726,000 in the comparable periods of the preceding year. Our net loss from inception of the Company on May 3, 2006 until February 29, 2012 approximated $13,786,000. Our net loss for the six months ended February 29, 2012 is attributable to the execution of our business plan to become a gold producing mining company. For the six months ended February 29, 2012, stock based compensation for management services approximated $399,000, non-cash financing costs approximated $864,000, depreciation and amortization approximated $49,000, common stock issued for consulting services approximated $356,000, the non-cash impairment of the Mkuvia Project of $1,931,000 and impairment for equipment of $300,000 for an aggregate of $3,899,000 in non-cash costs included in results of operations. Of the Net loss, $21,500 was attributed to the 5% noncontrolling interest in the Gold Standard operations, which was acquired effective on November 29, 2011

Going Concern

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company is in the exploration stage and has not generated revenues since inception. The Company has incurred significant losses from inception through February 29, 2012 of approximately $13,785,000, raising substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. Further, as discussed in Note 7A – Litigation, the Company commenced litigation againt Handeni Gold Inc (formerly Douglas Lake Minerals, Inc) related to claims for breaches of contract and fraud related to the Mkuvia Property. Handeni Gold Inc. has filed an action against the Company seeking certain payments and removal or cerain asset restrictions. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain necessary financing to settle outstanding debts, fund ongoing operating losses and to discover and successfully exploit economically recoverable mineral reserves on its resource properties and ultimately on the attainment of future profitable operations; and to the satisfactory outcome of the referenced litigation. The Company has funded its operations with private equity and/or convertible debt financing and is in the process of identifying additional sources of capital from debt or equity sources. While management believes it has made significant progress on its plan of operations, additional working capital and capital funds will be required to finance the Company’s operations until commercial operations commence and positive cash flow can be achieved. Management believes that additional financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company. However, there can be no assurance of this, nor is there any assurance that commercial operations will be achieved. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

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

Critical Accounting Policies

Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.

We regularly evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to prepare our financial statements. In general, management's estimates are based on historical experience, on information from third party professionals, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make 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 and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Mineral Property Costs

The Company has been in the exploration stage since its formation on May 3, 2006 and has not realized any revenues from its planned operations. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral resources.

The Company classifies its mineral rights as tangible assets and accordingly acquisition costs are capitalized as mineral property costs. Generally accepted accounting principles require that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In performing the review for recoverability, the Company is to estimate the future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the undiscounted expected future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized. Mineral exploration costs are

expensed as incurred until commercially mineable deposits are determined to exist within a particular property. To date the Company has not established any proven or probable reserves.

The Company accounts for asset retirement obligations by recording the initial measurement and subsequent accounting for obligations associated with the sale, abandonment, or other disposal of long-term tangible assets arising from the acquisition, construction or development and for normal operations of such assets. The Company has not incurred any potential costs related to the retirement of mineral property interests since commercial mining operations have not commenced.

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar. The functional currency of the Company’s Tanzanian subsidiary is the Tanzanian Shilling. The financial statements of the subsidiary are translated to United States dollars in accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Translation Matters. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at rates of exchange in effect at the date of the transaction. Average monthly rates are used to translate revenues and expenses. Related translation adjustments are reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity, whereas gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in results of operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent pronouncements issued are not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report, based on their evaluation of these controls and procedures required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15, due to certain material weaknesses in our internal control over interim financial reporting as of February 29, 2012, as described in our management’s report on internal control over financial reporting included in our annual report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended August 31, 2011, which deficiencies have not been remedied as of February 29, 2012.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Effective February 1, 2010, we retained an interim CFO. Effective on June 6, 2011 we retained a Controller who has since assumed the role of CEO. He is however, continuing to participate in estalishing controls over financial reporting processes and procedures. Further, we have retained additional accounting personnel in our Tanzanzian operation. We believe their participation has and will strengthen internal controls, and certain new controls have been installed or are in the process of being designed and implemented. We believe that this did and will continue to improve and strengthen our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are not a party to any material legal proceedings nor are we aware of any legal proceedings pending or threatened against us or our properties other than as follows:

On March 8, 2010, the Company was served with a Writ of Summons from its former general counsel, Lang Michener LLP of Vancouver, Canada, for the collection of its alleged uncollected fees in the amount of approximately US$115,000, including claimed interest. On November 23, 2010, the parties settled this litigation and the Company paid approximately $75,000 in full satisfaction. Mutual releases were exchanged.

In connection with the agreements described in Notes 3a-3c to the Unauduited Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere herein related to the Mkuvia Gold Project, it has come to the Company’s attention that Handeni and Maita have been permitting a third party to continuously conduct prospecting activities and allegedly conveyed certain of the prospecting licenses and joint venture rights acquired as part of the Mkuvia transactions to third parties, at a date subsequent to the effective dates of the initial transaction, in violation of the Company’s ownership of exclusive mineral and mining rights. Regarding this matter, Handeni has previously disclosed in its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended November 30, 2011 filed with the SEC on January 17, 2012, that it “is currently investigating through local counsel the registration particulars of prospecting licenses numbered 5664/2009 and 5669/2009, which form a part of the current Joint Venture Company project [which refers to the joint venture with Ruby Creek]. This investigation relates to the reported registration of prospecting licenses numbered 5664/2009 and 5669/2009 to a third party without the Company’s (Handeni’s) approval, in unclear circumstances.” On February 8, 2012 the Company filed a Summons with Notice in the Supreme Court of the State of New York against Handeni (Douglas Lake Minerals, Inc. as the named defendant) for breach of contract, fraud and breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the violation of the joint venture agreements. The relief sought was for compensatory and consequential damages in the amount of $10 million. On April 2, 2012, the Company further filed a Complaint in the Supreme Court of the State of New York against Handeni (Douglas Lake Minerals, Inc. as the named defendant). In that complaint the Company is seeking damages caused by Handeni for their violation of the parties’ agreements and for fraud. The Company is seeking $17,000,000 in damages, exclusive of interest, costs and legal fees. As a consequence of the foregoing, the Company has not obtained an initial mining license on the Mkuvia property nor received the required environmental study which would have triggered a series of payments. Further, as a result of Handeni’s breaches, the Comapany has not made a $450,000 payment originally due on June 1, 2011 to Handeni pursuant to the May 24, 2010 agreement, among other things. In the opinion of the Company’s Tanzanian counsel, the Company has good interest in the prospecting licenses (“PL”) free and clear of any liens and encumbrances and under Tanzanian law any dealings relating to the PL’s and the joint venture rights made subsequent to the dates when the Commissioner of the Ministry of Energy and Mining issued the Certificates of Acknowledgment of the joint venture agreements would not be recognized and they would not affect the rights of the Company in the PL’s. Further, counsel advises that there are no provisions under Tanzanian law in relation to mineral rights which would permit the PL’s to be forfeited or otherwise withdrawn in the event of a change of ownership.

On February 23, 2012, Handeni filed a Notice of Claim against the Company in the Supreme Court of British Columbia claiming breaches of the agreements between the parties and seeking (i) payments as stipulated in the preceding paragraph of $450,000, (ii) 20% of certain private placement proceeds received by the Company ($917,100), (iii) consent of the Company to remove the restrictive resale legend affixed to the 4,000,000 common shares of the Company issued as partial consideration for the properties.and (iv) the right to market and sell the property to third parties. These amounts are included in the liabilities discussed in the next paragraph which have been offset in the determination of the impairment.

Management believes that the Company has suffered significant damages and while it is confident of the merits of its position and that the Company will ultimately be successful in its lawsuit, management has provided an impairment of the Mkuvia assets acquired offset by the recorded amount of the corresponding liabilities, to a nominal value of $1 as of February 29, 2012. A charge of $1,930,682 is reflected in the Company’s results of operations for the three and six month periods ended Februay 29, 2012. Offsetting the liabilities to Handeni is appropriate and consistent with the position of impairing the assets, since the obligation to make any payments is tied to proper title to the assets purchased.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

On July 20, 2009, the Company issued 400,000 restricted shares of common stock at a price of $0.05 per share for proceeds of $20,000. As part of this private placement, the Company issued 200,000 share purchase warrants to purchase. Each warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of common stock at $0.05 for a period five years. The fair value of these share purchase warrants using a risk-free rate of 2.57% and a volatility of 99% was $17,492 or $0.09 per warrant. The shares were issued to David Bukzin and Double Trouble Productions, LLC.
