PART I


Item 1                                Business

General

Our name is Golden River Resources Corporation and we sometimes refer to ourselves in this Annual Report as “Golden River Resources”, the “Company” or as “we,” “our,” or “us.” We changed our name from Bay Resources Ltd to Golden River Resources in March 2006. We are an exploration stage mining company.  Our objective is to exploit our interest in the mineral claims in Nunavut, Canada which are in the Slave Craton and in the Committee Bay Greenstone Belt.  Our principal exploration target is for gold and we are seeking to determine whether adequate gold reserves are present on the property covered by our claims to develop an operating mine.  We are in the initial stages of our exploration program and have not yet identified any ore reserves.

We hold the interests in the Slave Craton directly and our wholly owned subsidiary named “Golden Bull Resources Corporation” (formerly 4075251 Canada Inc.) holds the interests in the Committee Bay Greenstone Belt.  Our wholly-owned subsidiary is referred to in this Annual Report as “Golden Bull”.

We sometimes refer to our claims collectively in this Annual Report as either the “Slave Properties” or the “Committee Bay Properties”.  Our claims are registered in the Mining Recorders Office in the Mining District of Nunavut and give us the right to explore and mine minerals from the property covered by the claims.

We were incorporated in the State of Delaware on February 1, 1973.  We commenced our mineral exploration activities in 2002.  Prior thereto, we were engaged in a number of other business activities that have been discontinued.  Our executive offices are at Level 8, 580 St. Kilda Road, Melbourne, Victoria 3004 Australia and we have an office at 1 Yonge Street, Suite 1801, Toronto, Ontario M5E 1W7, Canada. Our website location is www.goldenriverresources.com.  Information included on our website shall not be deemed to be incorporated in this Annual Report.  Our wholly owned subsidiary, Golden Bull, was incorporated on May 27, 2002 in the Province of Ontario, Canada and is licensed to do business in the Northwest Territories and Nunavut Canada.

Currency.

We use the Australian dollar as our reporting currency, since we are headquartered in Australia and our administrative expenses are incurred in Australian dollars.  References to dollars are to Australian dollars (A$) unless otherwise indicated as being Canadian dollars (CDN$) or United States dollars (US$). For the convenience of the reader, the Australian Dollar figures for the year ended June 30, 2007 have been translated into United States Dollars (“US$) using the rate of exchange at June 30, 2007 of A$1.00=US$0.8488.

History of the Company

Our predecessor corporation, Bayou Oil, was incorporated under the laws of Minnesota in 1973 and since that time it had a number of activities that have been ceased.

On February 13, 1998, we incorporated a 100% owned subsidiary, Baynex.com Pty Ltd (formerly Bayou Australia Pty Ltd), a corporation incorporated under the laws of Australia.

On June 29, 1999 we undertook a reverse stock split on a 1:20 basis and amended our Articles of Incorporation to amend the par value of our shares from US$0.15 cents to US$0.0001 cents per share. On September 27, 1999 we changed our name from Bayou International, Ltd to Baynet, Ltd.

In May 2000, we commenced work on the development of a B2B mining portal however, this was abandoned as it was considered uneconomic.

On August 21, 2000 we incorporated a new wholly owned subsidiary, Bay International Pty Ltd (now known as Bay Resources (Asia) Pty Ltd), a corporation incorporated under the laws of Australia. In October 2000, we changed our name to Bay Resources Ltd, and in March 2006, we changed it to Golden River Resources Corporation.

During fiscal 2001, we conducted a due diligence review of St. Andrew Goldfields Ltd (“St. Andrew”) with a view to taking a substantial investment in St. Andrew.  Following the conclusion of the review, we decided not to proceed with the investment.

In May 2002, we incorporated a new wholly owned subsidiary, Golden Bull Resources Corporation (formerly 4075251 Canada Inc.), a corporation incorporated under the laws of Canada. Golden Bull is the vehicle that will be used by the Company to undertake exploration activities for gold on the Committee Bay Properties in Canada.

During the 2002 fiscal year we continued to expand our gold exploration business by:

(i)           entering into an agreement to explore for gold on Tahera’s extensive property interests on the Slave Craton in northern Canada; and

(ii)           making application via a new 100% owned subsidiary, Golden Bull (previously known as 4075251 Canada Inc), for properties in the highly prospective Committee Bay Greenstone Belt in Nunavut, Canada.

In October 2002 we entered into an agreement (via our wholly owned subsidiary Bay Resources (Asia) Pty Ltd) with the Tibet Bureau of Geology and Minerals Exploration Development, China to earn a minimum 51% interest in the Xigaze copper belt running in a 200 kilometer east-west trend either side of Lhasa. However, in February 2003 we decided to withdraw from these arrangements as a result of further hurdles being placed before us by the Chinese authorities that were not known at the time of entering into the agreement.

It is the policy of our Board of Directors that we will not engage in any activities which would subject us to registration and reporting requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940.

Description Of Business

Introduction

We are an exploration stage company engaged in the identification, acquisition, exploration and development of mining prospects believed to have gold mineralization. The main objective is to explore, identify, and develop commercially viable prospects over which we have rights that could produce revenues. These types of prospects may also contain mineralization of metals often found with gold, such as platinum and silver and other ‘base metals’ (copper, nickel, lead, zinc) which also may be worth processing. Exploration and development for commercially viable mineralization of any metal includes a high degree of risk which careful evaluation, experience and factual knowledge may not eliminate, and therefore, we may never produce any revenues.

We hold properties in Nunavut, Canada. Golden River Resources holds interests in the Slave Craton area within Nunavut and our currently owned 100% subsidiary; Golden Bull Resources holds various prospects in the Committee Bay Greenstone Belt in Nunavut.  We are in the initial stages of exploration programs and have not yet identified any ore reserves.

Please note that the Glossary in Appendix A to the Annual Report contains definitions for the geological and other specialized terms used in this section.

Slave Craton Properties

During 2002, we reached an agreement with the Canadian company, Tahera Diamond Corporation, to explore for gold on Tahera’s extensive properties on the Slave Craton in Nunavut, Canada. At that time, Tahera’s Slave land package included 177 properties and 11 Inuit Owned Land (“IOL”) Concessions covering approximately 471,000 acres.  Tahera is a diamond mining company conducting diamond exploration in the northern Slave Craton and brought its Jericho diamond pipe into production in 2006.

The exploration properties of Tahera that the Company has access to are grouped into two main areas, the High Lake Volcanic Belt and the Contwoyto Formation, both of which are located in the Slave craton, Mackenzie District of Nunavut.

The exploration properties in the High Lake Volcanic Belt consist of the Hood River mineral properties and Inuit Owned Land (“IOL”) concessions located in the northwest section of the Slave Structural Province.  The land holdings include four mining properties totaling 10,330 acres, and the Hood River CO-20-00-03R IOL concession which encompasses 6,254 acres.  The high grade, Hood River gold showings identified to date occur within a 9 by 5 kilometer area in the west-central portion of the High Lake Greenstone Belt.  Four main mineralized areas are known to occur; the North Fold Nose, Penthouse, Crown and Blackridge prospects.

The exploration properties within the Contwoyto Formation consist of the CO-08-00-01,03,03 and 05 IOL Concessions which are located on the east side of Contwoyto Lake.  The original CO-08-00-01,03,03 and 05 Concession Agreement totaled 65,250 acres but has subsequently been reduced to cover 3,379.77 acres.  Mineralization specific to the properties includes a number of significant banded iron formation hosted gold prospects including the R44-R47, R43-R45, the 4-2 grid, , and the 5-5 grid prospects.

The agreement with Tahera dated March 7, 2002 gives us rights of access to exploration data of Tahera covering gold, silver and base metal potential on properties 100% held by Tahera or properties which are adjacent to or in the area of the Tahera properties. Tahera has an extensive database of data to which we have access, including geophysical surveys, overburden and bedrock mapping, overburden sampling and drilling data. We have agreed to pay them a two percent net smelter return royalty on any production from gold and base metals we discover having used Tahera’s extensive database.If during our exploration for gold, silver or base metals on the 100% Tahera held mineral properties, we discover diamonds, Tahera retains the rights to the diamonds. Under the agreement, if we wish to conduct exploration on the properties, we need to seek access to the properties and enter into an access agreement with Tahera, suitable to Tahera, which sets out the terms of our access. Our access cannot interfere with Tahera’s operations on the properties. Tahera has the sole and unfettered discretion to sell, transfer, assign, encumber, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate, allow to lapse, forfeit, surrender or in any way dispose of its interest in the properties. Should Tahera sell, transfer, assign the properties, we would then need to negotiate access with the new holder of the properties. We undertake exploration at our sole risk. Subject to Tahera’s rights, we have the right to exploit opportunities for gold, silver or base metals on the properties. In return, GRR has granted Tahera a 2% net smelter return royalty on any mineral deposit discoveries that GRR may identify.

We have entered into access agreements with Tahera for the 2004 to 2006 exploration programs. No field exploration was undertaken during 2007 and therefore we did not enter into an access agreement for 2007.

Each of the properties has minimum exploration expenditure commitments on an annual basis to retain the rights for the property. The minimum commitments can be met by actual exploration expenditure or by making a cash payment in lieu of exploration expenditure. Expenditures by both Tahera and GRR are counted towards the commitment. In 2004 and 2006, the commitments were met by a mixture of exploration expenditure and cash payments by both Tahera and GRR.

Exploration work undertaken by GRR is subject to the Mining Land Use Regulations of the Indian and Northern Affairs Canada Mining Act. This Act requires GRR to obtain permits prior to performing significant exploration programs and sets standards that must be met for development and reclamation.

On April 1, 1999, the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement, dated May 28, 1993, between the Inuit of Canada’s eastern arctic region and Her Majesty the Queen in right of Canada, came into force. Under this agreement, the Inuit were granted ownership of approximately 360,000 square kilometers of land in an area referred to as the Nunavut Settlement Area, including ownership of subsurface rights in approximately 37,500 square kilometers of those lands.  Third party interests in lands in the Nunavut Settlement Area created on or after April 1, 1999 are granted, in the case of surface rights, by the appropriate regional Inuit association and, in the case of subsurface rights, by Nunavut Tungavik Incorporated (“NTI”) which will hold subsurface title to Inuit owned lands and will be additionally responsible, in consultation with the appropriate regional Inuit associations, for the administration and management of those subsurface rights.  The Tahera Inuit Owned Lands property CO-20-00-03R is administered by the NTI.  All non-IOL properties are administered by the Federal Government of Canada.

A list of the mining properties that are covered under the Tahera/GRR agreement appears as Appendix B to this Annual Report.  Exploration interest is currently focused on the CO-20-00-03R IOL concession.

The claims are maintained in good standing by applying an annual work commitment or a payment in lieu of work.  Fees and exploration expenditures associated with the maintenance of Tahera Corporation’s ground covered under the Slave Craton Agreement with Golden River Resources are the responsibility of Tahera.

Location

Hood River Ground

The Hood River mineral properties and Inuit Owned Land Concessions are in the High Lake Volcanic Belt located in the northwest section of the Slave Structural Province in the Mackenzie District of Nunavut. The land holdings include 4 mining properties totalling 10,330 acres, and the Hood River CO-20-00-03R IOL concession which encompasses 15,454 acres.  Only the IOL concession is within the greenstone component of the High Lake Volcanic Belt and therefore of exploration interest to us. The approximate center of the Inuit Concessions is about 45 kilometers north of the Arctic Circle, and 530 kilometers north-northeast of Yellowknife. The IOL Concessions are held 50:50 by Benachee Resources Inc. and Snowpipe Resources Ltd. (both wholly owned by Tahera). There are no known encumbrances on the concessions.

Contwoyto Lake Ground

The CO-08 IOL Concession is underlain by the Contwoyto Formation on the east side of Contwoyto Lake. The original C0-08 Concession Agreement totalled 65,250 acres and is located in the Mackenzie District of Nunavut.  The approximate center of the C0-08 Concession is about 100 kilometers south of the Arctic Circle, 100 kilometers north-northwest of Lac de Gras, and 380 kilometers north-northeast of Yellowknife. The C0-08 Concession Agreement is held 50:50 by Benachee Resources Inc. and Snowpipe Resources Ltd. (both wholly owned by Tahera). There are no known encumbrances on the concessions.

Access, Infrastructure, Local Resources

Access to all the areas in the Slave Craton is by aircraft. In summer months, float equipped aircraft may land on local lakes of appropriate size including Contwoyto Lake, Napatulik Lake, Penthouse Lake (unofficial name), and Carat Lake. In addition, airstrips are available for fixed wing aircraft equipped with tundra tires at the Lupin mine site, the Ulu mine site, and Tahera’s Carat Camp (Jericho). Helicopter support is needed to mobilize personnel from camp sites to the property areas. The winter road which links Yellowknife to the Lupin mine site on Contwoyto Lake has historically been used for economical transportation of supplies in winter months. This road has since been extended to Tahera’s Carat Camp.

Tahera’s properties are located in the treeless Arctic within the zone of permafrost. The weather in the property areas is typical of the continental barren lands which experience cool summers and extremely cold winters. Winter temperatures can reach -45 degrees.  Summer temperatures are generally in the 5 to 10 degree Celsius range but can reach the high 20's degrees Celsius. Average annual snowfall rarely exceeds 1 meter, most of which falls during autumn and spring storms. Small lakes are clear of ice usually by the third week in June and start freezing over again in late September.

The topography of the area consists of low rolling hills with areas of low-lying swampy muskeg.  Local relief is low, rarely exceeding 150 meters.

The closest community with regularly scheduled air service is Kugluktuk (formerly Coppermine) which is 145 kilometers northwest of the Anuri/Rockinghorse concessions and 200 kilometers northwest of the Hood River concessions. First Air has scheduled flights everyday from Yellowknife to Kugluktuk. The main centre for transportation to the properties is through Yellowknife, 530 kilometers southwest of the Hood River concessions, and 410 kilometers southwest of the Contwoyto concessions. Fixed wing and helicopter charter services are available in Yellowknife, as are all supplies (groceries, lumber, fuel, etc.) and expediting services. Additional existing infrastructure to help service the land holdings includes Tahera’s Jericho minesite and Woldens’ Lupin and Ulu minesites.  There is currently no infrastructure on the Contwoyto IOL concessions.

Exploration History

There are currently no known gold, silver or base metal mineral reserves identified on the Hood or Contwoyto IOL concessions.  All work undertaken in the past has been strictly exploratory in nature.

All previous work reported by companies is quoted from open file government assessment reports. For the Slave Craton land holdings non diamond-related exploration activities are emphasized as these relate to our interest and exploration agreement with Tahera. Specifically, previous exploration work on the Hood River/High Lake and Contwoyto Lake land holdings are detailed as these are deemed to be most prospective for gold.

Hood River/ High Lake Belt

Exploration around and directly within  the Hood River properties began in 1965 and over the years has included sampling, mapping, trenching,  and drilling, as well as ground and airborne  geophysical surveys.

In 1989 the Ulu gold deposit was discovered. Previous efforts directly on our Hood properties have outlined several key areas of anomalous gold mineralization which include the Penthouse, Blackridge, Crown and the North Fold Nose areas.

In 1999 the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement came into effect and granted surface ownership of about 360,000 square kilometers of land to the Inuit, of which they have the subsurface rights for approximately 37,500 square kilometers. Nunavut Tungavik Incorporation (NTI) is the entity through which these subsurface rights are administered. The Hood River area around the Ulu deposit (CROWN, DEN, FIDO and ULU) in which Golden River Resources has an exploration interest was ultimately incorporated into NTI lands, with the exception of the original ULU claim.

In March, 2003, Strongbow Resources Inc. and Nunavut Tungavik Incorporated announced an agreement whereby Strongbow could explore a large parcel of land which covers all the south half of the High Lake Greenstone Belt and borders Tahera’s IOL concession on the east, south, and west.

Contwoyto Formation

Following the discovery of the Lupin Mine on the western shore of Contwoyto Lake in 1960, exploration for additional Lupin-style banded iron formation hosted gold deposits commenced throughout the Contwoyto Formation. This resulted in the discovery of a number of prospects many of which occur on Tahera’s Contwoyto properties.

Significant results that substantiate the gold prospectivity of the region have been reported on several key areas which include the R43-R45, the R44-R47 and the 5-5 prospects.

Diamond exploration began in the area in 1993.  Discovery of several kimberlite bodies prompted a helicopter-borne EM and magnetic survey over 110 square kilometers in the Contwoyto Lake area. A part of the Tahera data set this survey has delineated a number of prospective iron formations.

Geological Setting

The Slave Structural Province encompasses an elliptical area 500 kilometers wide by 750 kilometers long and is located between Great Slave Lake to the south and Coronation Gulf to the north.

The Yellowknife Supergroup, important for ore deposits, occurs as twenty-six linear volcanic belts surrounded by granitic batholiths. These belts are typically isoclinally folded and largely range in age from 2715-2671 million years. The belts have been divided in the literature into mafic volcanic-dominated (Yellowknife-type) and felsic volcanic-dominated (Hackett River-type). Yellowknife-type volcanic belts are dominated by massive to pillowed basalt flows with lesser amounts of felsic volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks, clastic sedimentary rocks and occasionally synvolcanic conglomerate and carbonate units. The Hackett River-type belts are defined by the abundance of calc-alkaline felsic and intermediate volcanic rocks intercalated with turbidite.

At least five episodes of Proterozoic diabase dyke “swarms” (2400 million years – 600 million years) have been recorded in the Slave Structural Province. These dyke sets form local positive relief where they intrude easily eroded lithologies such as the metaturbidites and negative relief in areas where they are juxtaposed with granites and gneisses.

No known gold, silver or base metal mineral reserves are known on our land. All previous programs have been exploratory in nature.

Prospects

Hood River Ground

High grade gold prospects are found within a 9 by 7 kilometer block in the west-central portion of the High Lake belt. Four main mineralized areas occur; the North Fold Nose, Penthouse, Crown and Blackridge. The mineral prospects on the properties occur in rocks of the same age and nature as at the Ulu gold deposit where gold occurs in brecciated basaltic wallrock clasts which are replaced by acicular arsenopyrite + quartz + K-feldspar.

There is a spatial relationship between the gold bearing zones of the Ulu deposit with the axial trace of the ULU anticline. The properties cover the northern most two kilometers of this important fold axis. Several gold bearing zones have been previously identified in this area.  In one area along the axis, a one meter wide quartz vein, outcrops for over 40 meters and contains arsenopyrite, pyrite, pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, and native copper. Highly anomalous silver and bismuth were also returned from these samples.

Further mineralized zones were discovered in the central fold of the North Fold Nose. A highly anomalous gold value was produced within the prospect area from narrow quartz-pyrite vein rubble.

Previous exploration has outlined five zones of gold mineralization on the Crown prospect (now largely within the properties). At the “Main Zone”, several highly anomalous gold values were returned from an 800 meter long silicified basalt/biotite schist contact. Seven trenches were dug in the Main Zone area. Silicified zones up to 6 meters wide with arsenopyrite were noted. The “B” zone is parallel to and 80 meters east of the Main Zone. The structural setting and mineralogy here is similar to the Main Zone.  Elevated gold values have been identified over a distance of 450 meters and the zone is reported open to the north. Elevated gold values were also reported from grab samples of silicified basalt and sediments with arsenopyrite in the “Western Zone” and in the folded stratigraphy of the “Eastern” and “Fold” zones.

To the northwest of the Crown prospects are the Penthouse prospects. The original sampling on the South Penthouse grid returned anomalous gold values. The highest grade sample was from a silicified north-trending shear zone which was traceable for 200 meters. A northeast trending shear, traceable for 250 meters on the North Penthouse area returned significant gold result from narrow arsenopyrite bearing veins. Additional highly prospective zones of mineralization have been identified in the Penthouse area.

Polymetallic quartz veins in the area contain highly elevated silver values along with anomalous zinc, lead, cadmium, and antimony values. This style of mineralization is very similar to the auriferous polymetallic quartz vein at the Northern Fold Nose on the historic ULU 2 claim.

Five principal styles of mineralization were identified by BHP on the Penthouse grid, namely i) Auriferous silicified zones with arsenopyrite in sediments; ii) Auriferous arsenopyrite-bearing quartz veins at mafic volcanic-sediment contacts; iii) Auriferous polymetallic quartz veins transecting the mafic volcanic stratigraphy; iv) Stratabound massive sulphide mineralization at the mafic volcanic-sediment contact; and v) Auriferous polymetallic quartz veins hosted by sediments adjacent to the same mafic volcanic-sediment contact.

Massive sulphide mineralization is present as discontinuous pods up to 1.5 meters thick along the western basalt-sediment contact on the south Penthouse grid.  Historically, anomalous values of gold, silver, copper lead and zinc were returned from surface grab sampling. No drilling was carried out on this prospect.
 
10

 
South of the Crown prospects, across the southeastern edge of a granitic intrusion is the Blackridge prospect last worked by Aber Resources Ltd. The mineralization here consists of an altered and locally brecciated gabbro-hosted silicified zone. The principal mineralized zone has been traced for at least 700 meters northeast and is 2.5 - 3.5 meters wide. Anomalous gold values have been identified along this structure.
 


Contwoyto Property

More than 100 iron formation-hosted gold occurrences occur in the Point Lake - Contwoyto Lake meta-sediment sequence. The most notable gold-bearing iron formation in the vicinity is the Lupin gold mine. Mineralization specific to the properties includes a number of significant iron formation hosted gold prospects including the R43-R45, the R44-R47, the 4-2 grid, the Ox, and the 5-5 grid prospects.

The R43-R45 prospect is hosted by a Z-shaped folded iron formation up to 10 meters wide and traceable for over 1.3 kilometers. The area is mainly unsampled. The geology, mineralization, alteration and structure are extremely similar to the Lupin gold mine (located just 28 kilometers to the west) where gold mineralization is in a “Z” folded iron formation with pyrrhotite and arsenopyrite. The R43-R45 “Z” fold is of the same magnitude as Lupin. No drilling has ever been reported here.
 
11

 
The R44-R47 prospect is hosted by an iron formation up to 5 meters wide and traceable on surface for 1.9 kilometers. Significant gold values have been returned from surface sampling; however, no drilling has been reported.

On the 4-2 prospect, previous explorers have traced a sulphide-rich iron formation, in boulders up to 2 meters in size, on surface for 200 meters. Significant gold assays have been returned; however, no follow-up drilling appears to have been done.

On the 5-5 prospect, several east-west trending, 300 to 2,700 meters long EM conductors have been outlined. A total of six iron formations have been identified, four of which are coincident with the EM conductors. Sulphide rich boulders of iron formation at the southwest section of Grid 5-5 yielded gold values. The “Fox A” prospect is also within the 5-5 Grid area and the iron formation is 33 meters wide and 220 meters long and has returned gold values. Drilling in 1987, on the 5-5 prospect, included 8 holes totaling 942 meters. All eight holes intersected iron formation and returned gold from a section containing pyrite, arsenopyrite and pyrrhotite. Four short drill holes on the 5-5 grid in 1988 tested a folded iron formation as outlined by an IP survey. DDH 88-4, drilled 225 meters west of an earlier high grade intercept, intercepted a further significant gold intersection in pyrite-rich siliceous iron formation. A further high grade surface prospect in arsenopyrite and quartz- rich iron formation boulders was apparently not drilled. The other drill holes intersected siliceous +/- sulphidic iron formation ranging from 5.7 to 15.0 meters thick.

Work Programs

The first phase of the Company’s planned exploration programs over the Hood River and Contwoyto IOL claim groups was carried out in August 2004 and consisted of exploration mapping, sampling and prospecting. This initial program was designed to follow up and assess geophysical and geological anomalies reported by previous workers with a focus on targeting and expanding areas for phase two work.

Hood River Ground

Golden River Resources spent $104,446 on exploration on the Hood River IOL Concessions. Four key areas warrant further investigation.

Northern Fold Nose - This zone is located approximately 3 kilometers north of the ULU deposit and is thought to be part of the major fold structure which hosts the ULU deposit. Additional mineralized zones were discovered within the Northern Fold Nose area than previously described. Acicular arsenopyite was noted in narrow shears within silicified basalt just south of the Northern Fold Nose. Chip sampling of the exposed veins during the 2004 field season yielded several samples carrying anomalous gold values.

Penthouse - The Penthouse prospects are underlain by a geologically and structurally complex package of mafic volcanic and metasediments. The metasediments are thought to form the conduit for mineralizing fluids. Gabbroic sills occur within the mafic volcanics and sediments and form marker horizons outlining the structural complexity of the area.

A total of 65 samples were taken in the North Penthouse area; 36 per cent of the samples taken from this area yielded anomalous gold assays.

A total of 53 samples were taken from the South Penthouse area with 15 per cent returning anomalous gold values. In both of the Penthouse areas, the samples exhibited a strong, positive arsenic-gold relationship.

Analysis of airborne geophysical data suggests that the South and North Penthouse areas are actually one zone that is over 2 kilometers in strike length.

Crown - The 2004 field work consisted largely of examining and sampling of the trenches in this area. A total of 60, 1.0 meter to 1.5 meter chip samples were taken from these trenches and 32 per cent of these samples returned with anomalous gold values.

Blackridge area - The main prospect occurs along a gabbro-sediment contact. The previously described linear mineralized contact zone was extended to slightly over 750 meters.

Anomalous results were returned from siliceous metavolcanics and metasediments with the highest gold values being returned from trenches cut into the gabrro - metavolcanic/metasediment contact zone. A total of 39 samples were taken from this area. Elevated gold and copper values were noted. A total of 40 per cent of the samples taken returned anomalous gold values. Overall, our 2004 results were an improvement over the reported historical results.

Contwoyto IOL Concessions

We spent CDN$109,057 on exploration on the Contwoyto IOL Concessions. Some key areas that warrant further investigation include:

Grid 5-5 Area - Field work revealed the area to be underlain by a package of amphibole-rich, silicate facies iron formation This area produced the best gold results in the Contwoyto concessions.  Geophysics indicated the zone trends west, off shore, into the lake proximal to the Grid 5-5 zone.


An airborne geophysical survey has outlined a number of strong magnetic anomalies that have no surface expression.  These areas require further investigation.

Further Exploration

Subsequent to the completion of the 2004 exploration program, the IOL concession area in the Contwoyto Lake was dramatically reduced from 65,250.8 acres to 21,533.1 acres. All prospective ground was retained. The area reduction was done in conjunction with Tahera and it served to also greatly reduce the amount of exploration assessment requirement for this area. A program of approximately $63,300 would be required to maintain the ground into 2006.  A small portion of the Hood River IOL Concession area was also reduced with all prospective ground retained for further exploration. Due to large exploration expenditures by Tahera within these concessions prior to 2005, there was no exploration assessment spending required during 2005 to maintain this ground.

As a result of the 2004 field season, several areas have emerged as having a strong potential for hosting gold mineralization, based on geological, mineralogical and structural criteria and as such require further examination.

In late July 2006, Golden River Resources mobilized equipment and personnel to further prospect, assess and evaluate the Contwoyto Lake and Hood River areas. The work program was to follow up Golden River Resources’ highly successful 2004 examination with a focus on highlighting key areas for drilling in the planned winter drill program.

During the 2006 summer field program, 901 samples were taken and several areas were targeted as key regions for future work based on current geological modelling, the re-assessment of historical work and sample results from the 2004 program. All samples were sent for preparation and analysis by Acme Analytical Laboratories Ltd. Samples will be analysed with a 36 element geochemical procedure and gold Fire Assays will be conducted where warranted.

The field program and sampling was under the direct supervision of Bruce Goad, P. Geo., a Qualified Person under the applicable Canadian disclosure regulations for mineral exploration companies.
 
Our most recent results from 343 rock outcrop samples collected primarily in three prospective sectors continue to show encouraging results. Of the 343 samples;117 returned values greater than 0.5 g/t gold and 33 contained 3.0 g/t to 60.0g/t gold

The Penthouse prospect covers a large structurally controlled 3 kilometer long zone of sheared and brecciated siliceous basalts and sediments that may be directly analogous to the nearby Ulu deposit. Arsenopyrite mineralization is abundant over a 500 metre wide by 2,700 metre long area proximal to the volcanic-sediment contact.
 
The results indicate the need for follow up drill investigation. These surface results will be combined with our geophysical data to form the basis for new drill targets in 2007.

These samples were collected over an area measuring 400 metres by 800 metres. The North Fold Nose zone is located approximately 3 km north of the ULU deposit and is thought to be part of the same major fold structure which hosts the ULU deposit.
 
With the use of recent airborne geophysical surveys and new structural data, Golden River Resources has outlined numerous zones of banded iron formations with strike lengths of over several kilometres on the Contwoyto concessions.A total of 381 samples were collected from the six Contwoyto concession subsections. To date the scope of work has been limited to a more regional nature in this area. The majority of the best values (between 600 and 14,000 ppb gold) come from folded and faulted deformation zones within several of the iron formation horizons. The size and nature of at least these areas appear similar to the nearby Lupin Mine. Several new claims were staked over some of the most promising areas. Further detailed work is required over the principle areas of the Contwoyto concession.

Contwoyto Lake Area

Numerous new zones of banded iron formations were identified in this summers’ program. Principle areas within the property include thick sequences of banded iron formation with strike lengths of over several kilometres. With the use of recent airborne geophysical surveys and new structural data, Golden River has outlined favourable gold-bearing deformation zones of the iron formation that appear similar to the nearby Lupin Mine.

Hood River Area

Several areas within the High Lake area returned anomalous gold results collected during our sampling program in 2004 and 2006.

Several prospective zones were re-examined; however, the Penthouse area became the main focus of the 2006 Hood River assessment. Here, a large 3 kilometer zone of sheared and brecciated siliceous basalts and sediments occurs that may be analogous to the nearby Ulu deposit. Arsenopyrite mineralization is abundant and appears structurally controlled.

Golden River is very encouraged by the 2006 exploration program which was successful in finding new locations of strong mineralization this field season. Following the field investigation program, the characteristics and prospectivity of the Penthouse zone are better understood and the area presents an excellent drill target.

Committee Bay Belt

In June 2002, we staked land in the highly prospective Committee Bay Greenstone Belt.  Golden River Resources owns 100% of the Committee Bay Area properties.  All claims are on federally owned ground and mineral title is administered by the federal government.

The Committee Bay Greenstone Belt is located approximately 240 kilometers northeast of Baker Lake in Nunavut, Canada and is believed to represent the largest under-explored greenstone belt in North America, with potential to host world-class gold deposits.

The geology is highly prospective for banded iron formation hosted gold mineralization (as in the 3 million ounce Meadowbank and the 4.6 million ounce Meliadine gold deposits located to the south of the properties, north the hamlets of Baker Lake and Rankin Inlet, respectively). Our properties protect several auriferous iron formations. In addition to the banded iron formation hosted gold targets, this belt has potential for shear-hosted lode gold, Witswaterstrand style gold, komatiite hosted stratiform nickel-copper (Kambalda analogy), and platinum group elements (“PGE’s”) in layered igneous complexes (Laughland Lake Anorthosite Suite).

Originally 29 properties were staked comprising a land area of 71,694 acres in the Committee Bay Greenstone Belt in central Nunavut, Canada. These properties were recorded on October 16, 2002. From the original area we retained a total of 49,439.48 acres on 21 properties. To keep the properties in good standing, we needed to spend a total of CDN$197,798 of assessment work by October 16, 2004. A total of CDN$98,879 (CDN$2 per acre) is required in each subsequent year up to 2012 (at which point a decision to bring the properties to lease must be made).  During the 2004 field season, we spent CDN$1.567 million on exploration and all amounts in excess of the commitment can be offset against future commitments. As a result of the amount we spent during 2004, we have already met the expenditure commitment until 2012. We have included a list of our mining properties in the Committee Bay Greenstone Belt in Appendix B to this Annual Report.

Location

The Committee Bay Claims are located 245 to 365 kilometers northeast of the town of Baker Lake (Qamani’tuaq), Nunavut, Canada, or 210 to 320 kilometers west to southwest of the town of Repulse Bay (Ngoldjat). The community of Kagaaruk (formerly Pelly Bay) is 190 to 305 kilometers northeast of the claim groups. Our land holdings in the Committee Bay Greenstone Belt include 21 properties in 10 claim blocks. These properties total approximately 49,439.48 acres and all were recorded on October 16, 2002.

Figure 5. – Location of Committee Bay Area Properties

Access, Infrastructure, Local Resources

Access to the properties is by fixed wing aircraft. Alternatively, float equipped planes have the option of landing at some of the larger lakes (Laughland Lake for example) or on sections of the Hayes River. Helicopter support is required to mobilize personnel from camp to the property areas.

The Committee Bay Greenstone Belt lies within the zone of permafrost. The mean annual temperature of -20oC reflects its Arctic location (the Arctic Circle transects the property area). The climate is typical of the Eastern Arctic with average temperatures in the winter months of -30oC to -35oC, and +10oC to +12oC in the summer. The ground remains snow covered for more than 250 days a year (generally September to June). Rivers break up in June and lakes are ice bound until mid July.

The project area is on the northern section of the Wager Plateau, a shield area that has been significantly modified by glacial processes. Elevations range from 122 meters above sea level in the southwest to 560 meters above sea level in the northeast.

The closest community with regularly scheduled air service is Baker Lake, about 350 kilometers to the southwest. Canadian North and First Air flights arrive from Yellowknife and Iqaluit. Calm Air flies from Winnipeg to Rankin Inlet (Kangiqliniq) and then on to Baker Lake daily except Sundays. Kivalliq Air flies from Cambridge Bay (Qaluktuuttiaq) to Baker Lake enroute to Rankin Inlet. Fuel and expediting services are available in Baker Lake. There is little infrastructure in the claim area apart from the Committee Bay Resources Hayes River camp which has a winter airstrip and fairly regular supply flights.

Property History

All previous work reported by companies is quoted from open file government assessment reports.

Following the release of Heywood’s original geology map of the area in 1961, several exploration companies performed work in the Committee Bay Greenstone Belt. The nickel-copper potential of ultramafic rocks was the primary target of this first exploration wave. In 1969 to 1970, explorers mapped, sampled and conducted limited geophysical surveys on areas now covered by our A and E properties. This program outlined several electromagnetic conductors coincident with surface mineralization. The best trenched nickel value occurred on the “EE” properties within a 1.46 kilometer long conductor.

Further exploration was undertaken during the general nickel-copper reconnaissance in 1970 and 1974 and more detailed work in 1975 and 1976. Geologic mapping, ground magnetic and EM surveys were conducted in the Hayes River area. Although prospective rock units with nickel and copper values were found, no further follow up was recommended.

In 1986, reconnaissance rock samples were taken within the current Pickle properties area.

Southwest of the central tonalite, in the area of our Pickle properties, several permits were granted to the Committee Bay Joint Venture (CBJV) in 1993. Sampling by CBJV returned gold values in sheared banded iron formation with pyrite + arsenopyrite. Although CBJV’s Pickle 1 claim was staked in 1995, no follow-up work was reported. The iron formation at this site is 70–100 meters thick and traceable for 1.5 kilometers.

In 1992, reconnaissance sampling in the Committee Bay area was undertaken on behalf of the CBJV. Several highly anomalous gold values were returned from rock samples taken. Follow-up work was performed in 1993. High gold values corresponded with banded iron formation with quartz veining and/or silicification and pyrite + pyrrhotite ± arsenopyrite. In 1995, further rock samples were taken, and eight drill holes totaling 811.41 meters completed. This work exclusively focused on the Bluff properties in Hayes River area and the Inuk area further to the northeast. In 1996, the CBJV flew a 13,262 line kilometer detailed geophysical survey (magnetics and VLF), collected additional rock samples and drilled 6 holes at Three Bluffs. Approximately CDN$5.4 million was collectively spent on the Committee Bay Greenstone Belt between 1992 and 2001 by explorers. This exploration focused on three areas: Laughland Lake, Hayes River and Curtis River.

Numerous gold occurrences were discovered by the CBJV between 1992 and 2001. Of particular note are the Pickle, Four Hills, Cop, Ghost Coyote, Ridge, Bluff group and West Plains prospects.

Our five Wrench properties were previously within prospecting permits granted to the CBJV in 1994. Reconnaissance sampling by the CBJV returned a series of gold anomalies over approximately three kilometers in sheared, oxide banded, iron formation in their northern part of their BLUFF claim block.

The Committee Bay Greenstone Belt was the subject of two separate 3 year (2000-2003) government targeted Geoscience initiatives (“TGI”). These TGIs were a collaboration between the Geological Survey of Canada, Canada-Nunavut Geoscience Office and university partners. The stated objective of the TGI was to increase the level and cost-effectiveness of private sector exploration for mineral resources. Government work in the Committee Bay Greenstone Belt included 1:100,000 scale geologic mapping, prospecting, surficial mapping, drift prospecting, and airborne geophysics. Airborne magnetic surveys (400 meter flight line spacing) were carried out and released as total field maps in 2002. Quaternary research involved multimedia sampling for gold and base metals and this drift prospecting/sampling was carried out between 2001 and 2003.

Committee Bay Resources Limited (“CBR”) is the largest landholder in our claim area. At Three Bluffs, CBR’s drilling defined gold mineralization for at least one kilometer along strike and to a depth of 320 meters from surface.  A current summary of their results can be found on the CBR website.

The government aeromagnetic survey shows a continuation of the Three Bluffs iron formation for at least three kilometers onto our Wrench properties. Government sampling in 2001 on this trend returned gold intersections from sulphide bearing (pyrite + pyrrhotite), quartz-veined intervals of oxide banded iron formation on the GRR Wrench Property.

Numerous other prospective gold targets (West Plains, Four Hills, Coyote, etc) are the subject of ongoing investigation by CBR. Our properties border or are along strike of CBR’s prospects.

Geologic Setting

The Prince Albert Group (“PAG”) incorporates a series of Archean-aged greenstone belts that stretch approximately 600 kilometers northeast from the Aylmer Shear Zone in the south to the eastern tip of Melville Peninsula in the north. A 300 kilometers long section southwest of Committee Bay is referred to as the Committee Bay Greenstone Belt.

The stratigraphy of the Committee Bay Greenstone Belt includes banded iron formation up to 50 meters thick, komatiite volcanic flows, basalts, intermediate to felsic tuffs, and quartz-cobble conglomerates. Deformation is recorded by major shear zones, second order faults, complex folding, and felsic intrusions. Numerous gold prospects are spread out over a 260 x 40 kilometer area including the Inuk zone in northeast Committee Bay and the Three Bluffs zone in the Hayes River area.

The approximate age of the Committee Bay Greenstone Belt ranges from 2.718 billion years to 2.732 billion year old.

Younger plutonic intrusions include the 1830 Million year old Hudson monzo-granites. Laterally continuous, northeast trending, quartz-feldspar porphyry dykes, 0.5 meter to 10 meter wide, are traceable for hundreds of meters in the Three Bluffs area. Age dates for these porphyry dykes are not currently available.

Prospects

The Committee Bay Greenstone Belt is prospective for a number of mineral deposit types including banded iron formation hosted gold, shear-hosted lode gold, komatiite hosted, stratiform, nickel-copper (Kambalda analogy) mineralization, and platinum group elements in layered igneous complexes.

Examples of iron formation hosted gold mineralization include GRR’s Wrench properties where government sampling in 2001 returned gold intersections from sulphide bearing (pyrite + pyrrhotite), quartz-veined intervals of oxide banded iron formation. This section of iron formation is over 6.5 kilometers long. Additional kilometer-scale segments of iron formation with anomalous gold are present further to the east within the Wrench claim block.
18

 
Other iron formation hosted gold examples include mineralization on our Pickle properties. The iron formation here is 70–100 meters thick and traceable for 1.5 kilometers. The gold values are found in sulphide-rich sections (arsenopyrite and pyrite) of the sheared, oxide + silicate banded, iron formation over a distance of 1.35 kilometers.  In addition, gold values in iron formation are also found on our NN1 and NN2 properties.

An example of shear-hosted, gold mineralization in the Committee Bay Greenstone Belt is CBR’s Coyote prospect where high-grade gold values were returned from an intensely sheared gabbro with quartz veins, pyrite + pyrrhotite + chalcopyrite + visible gold. The hosting structure is a splay off the east-west Walker Lake Shear Zone and is a classic setting for shear-hosted gold.  GRR holds title to a claim on either side of the Coyote claim prospect.

Komatiite hosted (Kabalda-style) nickel potential exists on our three EE properties (EE 1-3). These properties cover anomalous nickel values spread over 930 meters along a contact between a thick ultramafic body and sediments. Elevated copper values were also reported. A second ultramafic/sediment contact on the western edge of the western E claim also has anomalous nickel over a similar strike length. The folded stratigraphy in the centre of the EE claim block is also prospective for gold.

The Laughland Lake Anorthosite Suite (“LLAS”) has good PGE potential. Rusty zones defined by sulphide gossans of up to 100 meters wide and 500 meters long have been reported in this area. Moderately anomalous platinum, palladium nickel and copper values have been reported from sampling of these zones.

Work Program

A total of CDN$1.567 million was spent on our Committee Bay Greenstone Belt 2004 program. A large portion of the expense went to establishing a re-usable base-camp into this fairly remote location. All field, office, and camp supplies, as well as fuel, were flown in. All field activities were helicopter supported.

Between June 2004 and early September 2004, a regional, grassroots-type prospecting/mapping program was undertaken to explore all of our mineral properties in the Committee Bay Greenstone Belt.  Each of our 21 properties holds significant promise of a mineral deposit. In some localities outcrop was not abundant or even observed; however, many of the claim sites were selected to cover key magnetic anomalies identified from the government regional airborne survey.

A total of 1,476 rock samples were removed and analyzed from the 21 properties. In addition, a small soil grid was established on the Wrench property and 658 soil samples were collected.  Anomalous to ore grade gold was returned from sampling on several of the claim areas. Of particular note were the results from the Wrench property which cover an area adjacent to the CBR’s Three Bluffs deposit and were found to hold identical structures and lithologies. Sampling along exposed banded iron formation produced high gold values within the 1.5 kilometer strike length of the targeted iron formation horizon.

Our exploration program began in late May 2004 with a geophysical program on the Wrench property. This is covered in the “Geophysical Surveys” section.

Geophysical Surveys

Wrench Property

An eighty six line grid was established over the Wrench Claims by Aurora Geosciences Ltd. of Yellowknife, NWT.  Grid point control was accomplished using GPS technology.  Lines were spaced every one hundred meters and in total the grid was comprised of 176.46 line kilometers. Subsequently, two geophysical surveys were undertaken.  Total field magnetic surveying was carried out with readings obtained at 6.25 meter stations.  Horizontal loop electromagnetic (HLEM) surveying was also undertaken.  Readings for this survey were spaced at twenty five meter intervals.

The Wrench claim group comprises five contiguous properties covering approximately 4,900 hectares. A government aeromagnetic survey confirms that the Wrench iron formation is directly connected with and along strike from CBR’s Three Bluffs iron formation hosted gold deposit.

The geophysical program served a number of purposes. The magnetics accurately traced the iron formation and delineated important structural information such as faulting and folding. The HLEM component highlighted where the conductive pyrrhotite-rich sections of the iron formation are located and, in conjunction with the magnetics, may define trenching and drill targets.
19

 
The magnetic survey outlined a strong, six kilometer long, northeast-trending, magnetic anomaly along the western half of the grid.  In the southeastern portion of the grid, two additional strong, parallel, magnetic anomalies were recorded. The HLEM survey outlined 17 distinct conductive trends/anomalies, most of which are coincident with, or flank, very strong magnetic features.

Field verification of the magnetic anomalies indicated that the magnetic anomalies are a result of the presence of continuous banded iron formation units that underlie the grid area.

Proposed Work

We did not conduct any exploration activities on our Committee Bay prospects during fiscal 2007 as we concentrated our efforts on our Slave craton prospects.

With the large assessment credit excess from the 2004 program, we have already met our expenditure commitments until 2012 for most properties (see Appendix B). However due to the gold potential and interest in the Committee Bay Greenstone Belt, further work is being planned.

Future exploration programs will involve further geophysical surveys, mapping, prospecting, sampling, and drilling. Identifying and defining drill targets will be the primary objective.

Three areas present themselves as likely drill targets, the Wrench prospect which is along strike of CBR’s Three Bluffs deposit; the Pickle claim iron formation which has the thickest intervals of sheared banded iron formation and the West claim which has the same geophysical anomalies as CBR’s West Plains drill area.

We have not scheduled the timing of these future exploration activities, which will depend on the availability of funds and developments on our Slave Craton prospects.

Regulation

Mining in Canada

The mining industry in Canada operates under both federal and provincial or territorial legislation governing the exploration, development, production and decommissioning of mines. Such legislation relates to the method of acquisition and ownership of mining rights, labour, health and safety standards, royalties, mining and income taxes, exports, reclamation and rehabilitation of mines, and other matters. The mining industry in Canada is also subject to legislation at both the federal and provincial or territorial levels concerning the protection of the environment. Legislation imposes high standards on the mining industry to reduce or eliminate the effects of waste generated by extraction and processing operations and subsequently deposited on the ground or emitted into the air or water. The design of mines and mills, and the conduct of extraction and processing operations, are subject to the regulatory restrictions. The exploration, construction, development and operation of a mine, mill or refinery require compliance with environmental legislation and regulatory reviews, and the obtaining of land use and other permits, water licenses and similar authorizations from various governmental agencies. Legislation is in place for lands under federal jurisdiction or located in certain provinces and territories that provide for the preparation of costly environmental impact assessment reports prior to the commencement of any mining operations. These reports require a detailed technical and scientific assessment as well as a prediction of the impact on the environment of proposed mine exploration and development.

Failure to comply with the requirements of environmental legislation may result in regulatory or court orders being issued that could result in the cessation, curtailment or modification of operations or that could require the installation of additional facilities or equipment to protect the environment. Violators may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of mining activities and the violators, including our officers and directors, may be fined or, in some cases, imprisoned if convicted of an offence under such legislation.  Provincial and territorial mining legislation establishes requirements for the decommissioning, reclamation and rehabilitation of mining properties that are closed. Closure requirements relate to the protection and restoration of the environment and the protection of public safety. Some former mining properties must be managed for a long time following closure in order to fulfill regulatory closure requirements. The cost of closure of existing and former mining properties and, in particular, the cost of long-term management of open or closed mining properties can be substantial.
20

 
Government Regulations

We are committed to complying and, to our knowledge, are in compliance with all governmental and environmental regulations. Permits from a variety of regulatory authorities are required for many aspects of mine operation and reclamation. Our exploration work is subject to the Mining Land Use Regulations of the Indian and Northern Affairs Canada Mining Act. This Act requires us to obtain permits prior to performing significant exploration programs.

We cannot predict the extent to which future legislation and regulation could cause additional expense, capital expenditures, restrictions, and delays in the development of our Canadian properties, including those with respect to mining properties. Our activities are not only subject to extensive federal, provincial and local regulations controlling the mining of and exploration for mineral properties, but also the possible effects of such activities upon the environment.  We will be obligated to take steps to ensure that such streams draining the property do not become contaminated as a result of our activities on the property. We are not aware of any environmental problems on the property as of the date of this Annual Report.

The mining industry in Nunavut, where our exploration properties are situated, operates under Canadian federal and territorial legislation governing prospecting, development, production, environmental protection, exports, income taxes, labour standards, mine safety and other matters.  We believe our Canadian operations are operating in substantial compliance with applicable law.

Our exploration works is subject to environmental regulation primarily by the Federal Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development and the Nunavut Water Board.  The Department of Fisheries & Oceans (Canada) and the Department of the Environment (Canada) have an enforcement role in the event of environmental incidents, but presently have no direct regulatory role in relation to exploration activity.

On April 1, 1999, the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement, dated May 28, 1993, between the Inuit of Canada’s eastern arctic region and Her Majesty the Queen in right of Canada, came into force. Under this agreement, the Inuit were granted ownership of approximately 360,000 square kilometers of land in an area referred to as the Nunavut Settlement Area, including ownership of subsurface rights in approximately 37,500 square kilometers of those lands.  Third party interests in lands in the Nunavut Settlement Area created prior to April 1, 1999 are protected under the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement.  Where a third party was granted a mining lease under the Canada Mining Regulations in lands comprising the Nunavut Settlement Area, that interest continues in accordance with the terms and conditions on which it was granted, including any rights granted under the legislation that give rise to the interest.  However, where any successor legislation has the effect of diminishing the rights afforded to the federal government, it will not bind the Inuit without its consent.  The Inuit are entitled to receive whatever compensation is payable by the interest holder for the use of exploitation of mineral rights.  The federal government continues to administer the third party interest on behalf of the Inuit, unless the third party and the Inuit enter into an agreement under which the third party agrees to the administration of their interest by the Inuit.  In the event such an agreement is reached, the applicable legislation will cease to apply to the third party interest.  Subsurface interests in such lands continue to be administered in accordance with applicable legislation relating to those interests and are not affected by the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement.

Third party interests in lands in the Nunavut Settlement Area created on or after April 1, 1999 are granted, in the case of surface rights, by the appropriate regional Inuit association and, in the case of subsurface rights, by Nunavut Tungavik Incorporated which will hold subsurface title to Inuit owned lands and will be additionally responsible, in consultation with the appropriate regional Inuit associations, for the administration and management of those subsurface rights.

Government Requirements for Maintenance of Claims

Slave Craton

Fees and exploration expenditures associated with the maintenance of Tahera Corporation’s ground covered under the Slave Craton Agreement with Golden River Resources is the responsibility of Tahera.

Committee Bay Greenstone Belt

The Nunavut Government has granted our interest in the 21 mineral properties in the Committee Bay Greenstone Belt described in this Report.
21

 
To keep the 21 properties in good standing, we were required to spend a total of CDN$197,798 of qualifying assessment work by October 16, 2004. Assessment work must be filed with the Mining Recorder within 30 days of the claim’s anniversary date or within 60 days of the lapsing notice date.

A total of CDN$98,879 (CDN$2 per acre) is required in each subsequent year up to 2012 (at which point a decision to bring the properties to lease must be made).

In 2004 we spent a total of CDN$1,566,962 of on our properties. All assessment work was filed and the excess of CDN$1,369,164 was used to offset the expenditure requirement in following years.  As a result we have already met our commitment until 2012 for most properties (see Appendix B).

Employees

We use temporary employees in our field exploration programme.  The services of our Chief Executive Officer, Joseph Gutnick and Chief Financial Officer and Secretary, Peter Lee, as well as clerical employees are provided to us on a part-time as needed basis pursuant to a Service Agreement dated November 25, 1988 (the “Service Agreement”) between us and AXIS Consultants Pty Limited (“AXIS”).  AXIS also provides us with office facilities, equipment, administration and clerical in Melbourne Australia pursuant to the Service Agreement. The Service Agreement may be terminated by written notice by either party.

Other than this, we rely primarily upon consultants to accomplish our exploration activities. We are not subject to a union labour contract or collective bargaining agreement.

Risk Factors

You should carefully consider each of the following risk factors and all of the other information provided in this Annual Report before purchasing our common stock.  An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk, and should be considered only by persons who can afford the loss of their entire investment. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. There may be additional risks and uncertainties that are not known to us or that we do not consider to be material at this time. If the events described in these risks occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations would likely suffer. Additionally, this Annual Report contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. This section discusses the risk factors that might cause those differences.

Risk Factors

Risks of Our Business

We Lack an Operating History And Have Losses Which We Expect To Continue Into the Future.

To date we have no source of revenue. We have no operating history as a mineral exploration or mining company upon which an evaluation of our future success or failure can be made. Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow is dependent upon:

-  
exploration and development of the property covered by our mineral claims;

-  
our ability to locate economically viable mineral reserves in the property covered by our mineral claims;

-  
our ability to raise the capital necessary to conduct exploration and preserve our interest in the mineral claims, increase our interest in the mineral claims and continue as an exploration and mining company; and

-  
our ability to generate revenues and profitably operate a mine on the property covered by our mineral claims.

We Have No Known Gold Or Other Mineral Reserves And We Cannot Assure You That We Will Find Such Reserves. If We Develop A Gold Or Other Mineral Reserve, There Is No Guarantee That Production Will Be Profitable.

We have not identified any gold or other commercial mineral reserves on the properties covered by our mineral claims and we cannot guarantee we will ever find any.  Also, to the extent that commercial mineral reserves have been identified by other companies on properties that are adjacent to or within the same geographic region as our exploration properties, this does not mean that we will be successful in identifying commercial mineral reserves on our properties. Even if we find a gold or other commercial minerals reserve, there is no assurance that we will be able to mine them. Even if we develop a mine, there is no assurance that we will make a profit. If we do not find gold or other commercial minerals you could loose part or all of your investment.
22

 
We Will Need Additional Financing To Determine If There Is Gold Or Other Commercial Minerals And To Maintain The Mineral Claims.

Our success will depend on our ability to raise additional capital. We have met our legal exploration commitments on the Committee Bay Properties until 2012 and Tahera is required to fulfill the minimum exploration commitments on the Slave Properties.  However, at this time, we have not found a gold deposit and further exploration is required.  There is no assurance whatsoever that funds will be available from any source or, if available, that they can be obtained on terms acceptable to us to make these investments. If funds are not available in the amounts required to maintain an interest, we will be unable to proceed further on the Committee Bay Properties and Slave Properties and our operations would be severely limited, and we would be unable to reach our objective. This could cause the loss of all or part of your investment.

There Are Risks Associated With Our Agreement With Tahera

The agreement with Tahera dated March 7, 2002 gives us rights of access to exploration data of Tahera covering gold, silver and base metal potential on properties held by Tahera or properties which are adjacent to or in the area of the Tahera properties.  If during our exploration for gold, silver or base metals, we discover diamonds, Tahera retains the rights to the diamonds.  Under the agreement, if we wish to conduct exploration on the properties, we need to seek access to the properties and enter into an access agreement with Tahera, suitable to Tahera, which sets out the terms of our access.  Our access cannot interfere with Tahera’s operations on the properties.  Tahera has the sole and unfetted discretion to sell, transfer, assign, encumber, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate, allow to lapse, forfeit, surrender or in any way dispose of its interest in the properties. If Tahera were to sell, transfer or assign the properties, we would have to negotiate access with the new owners of the properties and there can be no assurance we would receive access. We undertake exploration at our sole risk.  Subject to Tahera’s rights, we have the right to exploit opportunities for gold, silver or base metals on the properties.  We have granted Tahera a 2% net smelter return royalty.

The Report Of Our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm Contains An Explanatory Paragraph Questioning Our Ability To Continue As A Going Concern.

The report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2007 and for the years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 and for the period July 1, 2002 (inception of exploration stage) through June 30, 2007 includes an explanatory paragraph questioning our ability to continue as a going concern.  This paragraph indicates that we have not yet commenced revenue producing operations and have a retained deficit of A$34,518,000 which conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  Our consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

We Are A Small Operation And Do Not Have Significant Capital.

Because we will have limited working capital, we must limit our exploration. If we are unable to raise the capital required to undertake adequate exploration, we may not find gold or other commercial minerals even though our property may contain gold or other commercial minerals. If we do not find gold or other commercial minerals we may be forced to cease operations and you may lose your entire investment.
We May Not Find Any Ore Reserves That Are Economical

If we are unable to raise the required capital or we do not find gold or other commercial minerals on the properties or we cannot remove the gold or other commercial minerals discovered economically, we may have to look for other mineral rights on other properties in Canada or other parts of the world. Alternatively, we may cease operations altogether and you may lose your entire investment.

Weather Interruptions In Nunavut May Affect And Delay Our Proposed Exploration Operations.

We can only work above ground at our mineral claims in Nunavut, Canada from late May until early October and from mid December to March of each year. Once we are able to work underground, we plan to conduct our exploration year round, however, it is possible that snow or rain could cause roads leading to our claims to be impassible. This could impair our ability to meet our objectives and may increase our costs beyond our ability, if any, to secure financing, which would adversely affect the value of your investment and our ability to carry on business.
 
23

 
If Our Officers And Directors Stopped Working For Us, We Would Be Adversely Impacted.

None of our other officers or directors works for us on a full-time basis. There are no proposals or definitive arrangements to compensate our officers and directors or to engage them on a full-time basis. They each rely on other business activities to support themselves. They each have a conflict of interest in that they are officers and directors of other companies. You must rely on their skills and experience in order for us to reach our objective. We have no employment agreements or key man life insurance policy on any of them.  The loss of some or all of these officers and directors could adversely affect our ability to carry on business and could cause you to lose part or all of your investment.

We Could Encounter Delays Due To Regulatory And Permitting Delays.

We could face delays in obtaining mining permits and environmental permits. Such delays, could jeopardize financing, if any, in which case we would have to delay or abandon work on the properties.

Gold Price Fluctuations.

If we are successful in developing a gold ore reserve, our ability to raise the money to put it into production and operate it at a profit will be dependant on the then existing market price of gold. Declines in the market prices of gold may render reserves containing relatively low grades of ore uneconomic to exploit, and we may be required to discontinue exploration, development or mining on the properties, or write down our assets. If the price of gold is too low we will not be able to raise the money or produce any revenue.  We cannot predict the future market price of gold. A sustained decline in the market price of gold could cause a reduction in the value of your investment and you may lose all or part of your investment.

There Are Uncertainties Inherent In The Estimation Of Gold Or Other Mineral Reserves.

Based upon our preliminary study of the properties we believe that the potential for discovering gold reserves exists, but we have not identified such gold reserves and we are not able to estimate the probability of finding recoverable gold ore. Such estimates cannot be calculated from the current available information. Reserve estimates, including the economic recovery of gold ore, will require us to make assumptions about recovery costs and gold market prices. Reserve estimation is, by its nature, an imprecise and subjective process and the accuracy of such estimates is a function of the quality of available data and of engineering and geological interpretation, judgment and experience. The economic feasibility of the properties will be based upon our estimates of the size and grade of ore reserves, metallurgical recoveries, production rates, capital and operating costs, and the future price of gold. If such estimates are incorrect or vary substantially it could effect our ability to develop an economical mine and would reduce the value of your investment.

If We Define An Economic Ore Reserve And Achieve Production, It Will Decline In The Future. An Ore Reserve Is A Wasting Asset.

Our future ore reserve and production, if any, will decline as a result of the exhaustion of reserves and possible closure of any mine that might be developed.  Eventually, at some unknown time in the future, all of the economically extractable ore will be removed from the properties, and there will be no ore remaining. This is called depletion of reserves. Ultimately, we must acquire or operate other properties in order to continue as an on going business. Our success in continuing to develop reserves, if any, will affect the value of your investment.
 
There Are Significant Risks Associated With Mining Activities.

The mining business is generally subject to risks and hazards, including quantity of production, quality of the ore, environmental hazards, industrial accidents, the encountering of unusual or unexpected geological formations, cave-ins, flooding, earthquakes and periodic interruptions due to inclement or hazardous weather conditions. These occurrences could result in damage to, or destruction of, our mineral properties or production facilities, personal injury or death, environmental damage, reduced production and delays in mining, asset write-downs, monetary losses and possible legal liability. We could incur significant costs that could adversely affect our results of operation.  Insurance fully covering many environmental risks (including potential liability for pollution or other hazards as a result of disposal of waste products occurring from exploration and production) is not generally available to us or to other companies in the industry. What liability insurance we carry may not be adequate to cover any claim.
 
24

 
We Are Subject To Significant Environmental And Other Governmental Regulations That Can Require Substantial Capital Expenditure, And Can Be Time-Consuming.

We are required to comply with various Canadian laws and regulations pertaining to exploration, development and the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment, all of which can increase the costs and time required to attain operations. We will have to obtain exploration, development and environmental permits, licenses or approvals that may be required for our operations. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining, if required, a permit to commence exploration, development and operation, or that such permit can be obtained in a timely basis. If we are unsuccessful in obtaining the required permits it may adversely affect our ability to carry on business and cause you to lose part or all of your investment.

Mining Accidents Or Other Adverse Events At Our Property Could Reduce Our Production Levels.

If and when we reach production it may fall below estimated levels as a result of mining accidents, cave-ins or flooding on the properties. In addition, production may be unexpectedly reduced if, during the course of mining, unfavorable ground conditions or seismic activity are encountered, ore grades are lower than expected, or the physical or metallurgical characteristics of the ore are less amenable to mining or processing than expected. The happening of these types of events would reduce our profitably or could cause us to cease operations which would cause you to lose part or all of your investment.

The acquisition of gold mineral properties is subject to substantial competition. If we must pursue alternative properties, companies with greater financial resources, larger staffs, more experience, and more equipment for exploration and development may be in a better position than us to compete for properties. We may have to undertake greater risks than more established companies in order to compete which could affect the value of your investment.

We are substantially dependent upon AXIS To Carry Out Our Activities

We are substantially dependent upon AXIS for our senior management, financial and accounting, corporate legal and other corporate headquarters functions.  For example, each of our officers is employed by AXIS and, as such, is required by AXIS to devote substantial amounts of time to the business and affairs of the other shareholders of AXIS.

Pursuant to a services agreement, AXIS provides us with office facilities, administrative personnel and services, management and geological staff and services.  No fixed fee is set in the agreement and we are required to reimburse AXIS for any direct costs incurred by AXIS for us.  In addition, we pay a proportion of AXIS indirect costs based on a measure of our utilization of the facilities and activities of AXIS plus a service fee of not more than 15% of the direct and indirect costs. AXIS has charged us a service fee of 15% for this fiscal year. This service agreement may be terminated by us or AXIS on 60 days’ notice.  See “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions.”

Future Sales of Common Stock Could Depress The Price Of Our Common Stock

Future sales of substantial amounts of common stock pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933 or otherwise by certain stockholders could have a material adverse impact on the market price for the common stock at the time.  There are presently 22,955,659 outstanding shares of our common stock held by stockholders which are deemed “restricted securities” as defined by Rule 144 under the Securities Act.  Under certain circumstances, these shares may be sold without registration pursuant to the provisions of Rule 144.  In general, under rule 144, a person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) who has satisfied a one-year holding period may, under certain circumstances, sell within any three-month period a number of restricted securities which does not exceed the greater of one (1%) percent of the shares outstanding or the average weekly trading volume during the four calendar weeks preceding the notice of sale required by Rule 144.  In addition, Rule 144 permits, under certain circumstances, the sale of restricted securities without any quantity limitations by a person who is not an affiliate of ours and has satisfied a two-year holding period.  Any sales of shares by stockholders pursuant to Rule 144 may have a depressive effect on the price of our common stock.

Our Common Stock Is Traded Over the Counter, Which May Deprive Stockholders Of The Full Value Of Their Shares

Our common stock is quoted via the Over The Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB).  As such, our common stock may have fewer market makers, lower trading volumes and larger spreads between bid and asked prices than securities listed on an exchange such as the New York Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ Stock Market.  These factors may result in higher price volatility and less market liquidity for the common stock.
25


A Low Market Price May Severely Limit The Potential Market For Our Common Stock

Our common stock is currently trading at a price substantially below $5.00 per share, subjecting trading in the stock to certain SEC rules requiring additional disclosures by broker-dealers.  These rules generally apply to any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions (a “penny stock”).  Such rules require the delivery, prior to any penny stock transaction, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated therewith and impose various sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers and institutional or wealthy investors.  For these types of transactions, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the sale.  The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to the broker-dealer, current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer’s presumed control over the market.  Such information must be provided to the customer orally or in writing before or with the written confirmation of trade sent to the customer.  Monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stock.  The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by such requirements could discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our common stock.

The Market Price Of Your Shares Will Be Volatile.

The stock market price of gold mining exploration companies like us has been volatile. Securities markets may experience price and volume volatility. The market price of our stock may experience wide fluctuations that could be unrelated to our financial and operating results. Such volatility or fluctuations could adversely affect your ability to sell your shares and the value you might receive for those shares.

Item 2                                Properties

The Company occupies certain executive and office facilities in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia which are provided to it pursuant to the Service Agreement with AXIS. See “Item 1- Business- Employees” and “Item 12- Certain Relationships and Related Transactions”.  The Company believes that its administrative space is adequate for its current needs.

In addition, we have an office in North America at Suite 1801, 1 Yonge Street, Toronto ON Canada.  The office receives mail, couriers and facsimiles on our behalf and forwards any documents received to us.  The lease is for six months and can be renewed on a month to month basis.  We pay a fee of CDN$30 per month.  This is a temporary arrangement whilst we determine whether to open a permanent office.

Item 3                                Legal Proceedings

There are no pending legal proceedings to which the Company is a party, or to which any of its property is the subject, which the Company considers material.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition or Plan of Operation
 
General

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and plan of operation should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and accompanying notes and the other financial information appearing elsewhere in this report.  This report contains numerous forward-looking statements relating to our business. Such forward-looking statements are identified by the use of words such a s believes, intends, expects, hopes, may, should, plan, projected, contemplates, anticipates or similar words. Actual operating schedules, results of operations, ore grades and mineral deposit estimates and other projections and estimates could differ materially form those projected in the forward-looking statements.

We are an exploration stage mining company.  Our objective is to exploit out interest in the mineral claims in Nunavut, Canada.  Our principal exploration target is for gold and we are seeking to determine whether adequate gold reserves are present on the property covered by our claims to develop an operating mine.  We are in the initial stages of our exploration program and we have not yet identified any ore reserves.  We have not generated any revenues from operations.

Selected Financial Data

Our selected consolidated financial data presented below for each of the years in the two-year period ended June 30, 2007, and the balance sheet data at June 30, 2006 and 2007 have been derived from consolidated financial statements, which have been audited by PKF, Certified Public Accountants, a Professional Corporation.

Foreign Currency Translation

The majority of our administrative operations are in Australia and, as a result, our accounts are reported in Australian dollars. The income and expenses of its foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars at the average exchange rate prevailing during the period. Assets and liabilities of the foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars at the period-end exchange rate. The following table shows the period-end rates of exchange of the Australian and Canadian dollar compared with the US dollar during the periods indicated.

The exchange rate between the A$ and US$ has moved by 16.3% between June 30, 2006 and 2007.  Accordingly, a direct comparison of costs between fiscal 2007 and 2006 is not necessarily a true comparison.

Results of Operations

Year ended June 30, 2007 versus Year ended June 30, 2006

Total costs and expenses have increased from A$1,312,000 for the year ended June 30, 2006 to A$1,686,000 (US$1,431,000) for the year ended June 30, 2007.  The increase was a net result of:

i)
An increase in exploration expenditure written off from A$236,000 in fiscal 2006 to A$502,000 (US$426,000) in fiscal 2007. In fiscal 2007, we conducted field and sampling programs on the Company’s Slave exploration properties. The expenditure incurred included consulting fees for geologists, field staff, logistic support and laboratory analysis. In fiscal 2006, no field exploration was undertaken during the 2006 field season due to high level of field exploration in the fiscal 2005 field season and limited funding. The costs incurred represent the salary and benefits of the Vice President Exploration (until his resignation) and maintenance costs of the Slave and Committee Bay Properties. The Committee Bay and Slave Properties are in Nunavut in an isolated area and exploration can only be undertaken between June and August each year due to ground conditions. Exploration is costly as we were required to hire and construct a temporary camp which also had to be transported by charter flight. All supplies and casual employees also needed to be transported to the temporary camp by charter flights and/or helicopter. The properties are located approximately 100 kilometers from the camp and employees are transported by helicopter daily from camp to the exploration site.

ii)  
A decrease in interest expense from A$113,000 in fiscal 2006 to A$4,000 (US$3,000) in fiscal 2007. AXIS provides management and geological services to us pursuant to a Service Deed dated November 25, 1988. AXIS charged us A$4,000 in interest for fiscal 2007. AXIS charged interest at a rate between 9.60% to 10.10% for fiscal 2007. The amount of A$140,000 (US$119,000) owing to AXIS at June 30, 2007 represents part of the charges for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses. During fiscal 2006, we borrowed A$1,241,000 from Wilzed, a company which our President and CEO is a Director and shareholder and in May 2006, the total debt of A$2,000,000 was repaid through the issue of shares of common stock and options. Wilzed charged us A$83,000 in interest at a rate of 9.35% during fiscal 2006 and AXIS charged us A$21,000 in interest for fiscal 2006. AXIS charged interest at a rate of 9.35% during fiscal 2006. For fiscal 2006, A$9,000 general interest was charged on outstanding amounts payable liabilities.

iii)  
An increase in legal, accounting and professional costs from A$124,000 in fiscal 2006 to A$135,000 (US$114,000) in fiscal 2007. During fiscal 2007, we incurred legal expenses of A$59,000 (US$50,000) for the preparation of the registration statement (SB-2) to register the warrants issued to RAB and general legal work; audit fees of A$48,000 (US$41,000) for professional services in relation to financial statements, the quarterly Form 10-QSBs and annual Form 10-KSB and reviewing the Form SB-2; and A$28,000 (US$24,000) from our stock transfer agent for management of the share transfer. During fiscal 2006, we incurred legal expenses of A$16,000 in relation to the proposed listing on the Toronto Venture Exchange; A$30,000 in relation to financing documents, employment contracts and general legal work; which was reduced by A$11,000 of legal expenses no longer payable in relation to an arrangement in Tibet in China; audit fees of A$59,000 for professional services in relation to financial statements, the quarterly form 10-QSB’s and annual Form 10-KSB; and reviewing the Form SB-2 and A$29,500 from our stock transfer agent for management of the share register.

iv)  
An increase in administrative costs from A$647,000 in fiscal 2006 to A$745,000 (US$632,000) in fiscal 2007. During fiscal 2007, AXIS charged us A$677,000 (US$575,000) for management and service fees and Director’s fees and salaries incurred on behalf of the Company which relate to fees paid to an independent director, President and Chief Executive Officer, Director, Secretary and Chief Financial Officer and other staff of AXIS who provide services to the Company; A$19,000 (US$16,000) for lodgement of company filings and A$15,000 (US$13,000) for overseas travel. During fiscal 2006, AXIS charged us A$469,000 for management and service fees, and Director’s fees and salaries incurred on behalf of the Company which relates to fees paid to an independent Director, President and Chief Executive Officer, Director, Secretary and Chief Financial Officer and other staff of AXIS who provide services to the Company. One independent director who resigned during the year charged the Company $4,600. During fiscal year 2006, we incurred in total A$122,000 in salary costs for the Chief Operating Officer who resigned in April 2006.

An increase in stock based compensation from A$191,000 for fiscal 2006 to A$300,000 (US$255,000) for fiscal 2007.  Following shareholder approval on January 27, 2005 the Company issued 1,400,000 options at an exercise price of US$1.00 per option pursuant to the 2004 Stock Option Plan.  Of the total 1,400,000 options issued, 350,000 vested immediately following shareholder approval, 50,000 vested on March 31, 2005, 333,331 vested on July 27, 2005, 333,334 vested on January 27, 2006 and the balance vest on July 27, 2006. The exercise price of US$1.00 was derived from the issue price of common stock from the placement of shares on March 31, 2004 and was considered by the Company’s Directors to be the fair value of the common stock. The options expire on October 15, 2014. The Company accounted for all options issued in 2004 based upon their fair market value using the Black Scholes pricing model.  There were no employee stock options issued by the Company prior to 2004 or in 2005 or 2006. The Company calculated the fair value of the options at US$0.3185 per option using the Black Scholes valuation method.  The total value of the options equates to A$575,100 and was amortized over the vesting period. For fiscal 2007, the amortization amounted to A$7,000 (US$6,000).

On October 19, 2006, the Directors of the Company issued a further 4,650,000 options under the Stock Option Plan. The options have no issue price, an exercise price of US30.84 cents, and a latest exercise date of October 19, 2016. The options vest 1/3 on October 19, 2007 (“T1”), 1/3 on October 19, 2008 (“T2”) and 1/3 on October 19, 2009 (“T3”). The Company obtained an external valuation of the options from an unrelated third party. The Company has calculated the fair value of the 4,650,000 options at US$0.109 per option for T1, US$0.113 for T2 and US$0.117 for T3 using the binomial option pricing model. The total value of the options equates to A$696,976 (US$525,450) and is being amortized over the vesting periods. For fiscal 2007, the amortisation amounted to A$293,000 (US$249,000).

Accordingly, the loss from operations increased from A$1,312,000 for the year ended June 30, 2006 to A$1,686,000 (US$1,431,000) for the year ended June 30, 2007.

The net loss amounted to A$1,784,000 (US$1,514,000) for the year ended June 30, 2007 compared to a net loss of A$1,328,000 for the year ending June 30, 2006. The net loss per common equivalent share in 2007 was A$0.06 (US$0.05) compared with a net loss with a common equivalent share price of A$0.07 in the prior year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the fiscal year 2007, net cash used in operating activities was A$1,554,000 (US$1,319,000) primarily consisting of amounts spent on exploration of A$502,000 (US$426,000), and administration A$745,000 (US$632,000), a decrease in receivables of A$12,000 (US$10,000), and prepayments and deposits for the exploration programme of A$6,000 (US$5,000) and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of A$201,000 (US$171,000).

Effective as of June 9, 2006, Golden River Resources,  entered into a  Subscription Agreement with  RAB Special Situations Fund (Master) Limited (“RAB”) pursuant  to  which  the  Company  issued  to  RAB in a private placement transaction (the ”Private Placement”) for an aggregate purchase price of A$2,000,000 (US$1,542,000): (i)10,000,000 special warrants (the “Special Warrants”), each of which is exercisable at any time to acquire, without additional consideration, one (1) share (the “Special Warrant Shares”) of Common Stock, US$0.001 par value (“Common Stock"), of the Company, and (ii) warrants (the “Warrants”) for the purchase of 20,000,000 shares of Common Stock, US$0.001 par value (the “Warrant Shares”), at an exercise price of  A$0.20 (US$0.1542)  to be exercisable until April 30, 2011.
 
31

 
The Company agreed to prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement covering the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Special Warrants and the Warrants which registration statement was declared effective on October 17, 2006.

The Company is obligated to keep such registration statement effective until the earlier of (i) the date that all of the Registrable Securities have been sold pursuant to such registration statement, (ii) all Registrable Securities have been otherwise transferred to persons who may trade such shares without restriction under the Securities Act, and the Company has delivered a new certificate or other evidence of ownership for such securities not bearing a restrictive legend, or (iii) all Registrable Securities may be sold at any time, without volume or manner of sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144(k) or any similar provision then in effect under the Securities Act; or (iv) 2 years from the effective date.

As of June 30, 2007 we had short-term obligations of A$333,000 (US$283,000) consisting mainly of accounts payable and accrued expenses.

We have A$349,000 (US$296,000) in cash at June 30, 2007.

During fiscal 2004 and 2005, we undertook a field exploration program on our Committee Bay and Slave Properties. In relation to the Committee Bay Properties, this was more than the minimum required expenditure and as a result, we do not have a legal obligation to undertake further exploration on those properties during their life.  However our properties are prospective for gold and other minerals.  We undertook further exploration in August 2006 on the Slave Properties and a summary of the results is set out in Item 1. The cost for the 2006-2007 exploration program was A$502,000 (US$426,000) and subject to funding, we may consider a drilling program in early 2008. At this stage, we have not prepared a budget for this drilling program. Our budget for general and administration for fiscal 2008 is A$0.9 million.  We are currently investigating capital raising opportunities which may be in the form of either equity or debt, to provide funding for working capital purposes and future exploration programs.  There can be no assurance that such a capital raising will be successful, or that even if an offer of financing is received by the Company, it is on terms acceptable to the Company.

Cautionary “Safe Harbour” Statement under the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Certain information contained in this Form 10-KSB are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (“the Act”), which became law in December 1995. In order to obtain the benefits of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Act for any such forward-looking statements, we wish to caution investors and prospective investors about significant factors which, among others, have in some cases affected our actual results and are in the future likely to affect our actual results and cause them to differ materially from those expressed in any such forward-looking statements. This Form 10-KSB contains forward-looking statements relating to future financial results. Actual results may differ as a result of factors over which we have no control, including, without limitation, the risks of exploration and development stage projects, political risks of development in foreign countries, risks associated with environmental and other regulatory matters, mining risks and competitors, the volatility of gold prices and movements in foreign exchange rates.

Impact of Australian Tax Law

Australian resident corporations are subject to Australian income tax on their non-exempt worldwide assessable income (which includes capital gains), less allowable deductions, at the rate of 30%. Foreign tax credits are allowed where tax has been paid on foreign source income, provided the tax credit does not exceed 30% of the foreign source income.

Under the U.S./Australia tax treaty, a U.S. resident corporation such as us is subject to Australian income tax on net profits attributable to the carrying on of a business in Australia through a “permanent establishment” in Australia. A “permanent establishment” is a fixed place of business through which the business of an enterprise is carried on. The treaty limits the Australian tax on interest and royalties paid by an Australian business to a U.S. resident to 10% of the gross interest or royalty income unless it relates to a permanent establishment. Although we consider that we do not have a permanent establishment in Australia, it may be deemed to have such an establishment due to the location of its administrative offices in Melbourne. In addition we may receive interest or dividends from time to time.

Impact of Australian Governmental, Economic, Monetary or Fiscal Policies

Although Australian taxpayers are subject to substantial regulation, we believe that our operations are not materially impacted by such regulations nor is it subject to any broader regulations or governmental policies than most Australian taxpayers.

Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

For a discussion of the impact of recent accounting pronouncements on the Company’s financial statements, see Note 2 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements which are attached hereto.

Item 8A                      Controls and Procedures

(a)  
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
 
Our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Such disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company is accumulated and communicated to the appropriate management, including the principal executive and financial officers, on a basis that permits timely decisions regarding timely disclosure. Based on that evaluation, such principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, the Company’s disclosure control and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report have been designed and are functioning effectively to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.


(b)  
Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
 
No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

(c)
Other.

We believe that a controls system, no matter how well designed and operated, can not provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.

In preparation for the annual report of management regarding our evaluation of our internal controls that is required to be included in our annual report for the year ended June 30, 2008 by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we will need to assess the adequacy of our internal control, remediate any weaknesses that may be identified, validate that controls are functioning as documented and implement a continuous reporting and improvement process for internal controls. We may discover deficiencies that require us to improve our procedures, processes and systems in order to ensure that our internal controls are adequate and effective and that we are in compliance with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. If the deficiencies are not adequately addressed, or if we are unable to complete all of our testing and any remediation in time for compliance with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the SEC rules under it, we would be unable to conclude that our internal controls over financial reporting are designed and operating effectively, which could adversely affect our investor confidence in our internal controls over financial reporting.

34

 
All Directors have been appointed for a one-year term which expires in November 2007.

Directors need not be stockholders of the company or residents of the State of Delaware. Directors are elected for an annual term and generally hold office until the next Directors have been duly elected and qualified. Directors may receive compensation for their services as determined by the Board of Directors. A vacancy on the Board may be filled by the remaining Directors even though less than a quorum remains. A Director appointed to fill a vacancy remains a Director until his successor is elected by the Stockholders at the next annual meeting of Shareholder or until a special meeting is called to elect Directors.
 

Board, Audit Committee and Remuneration Committee Meetings

Our Board of Directors consists of four members, of whom two have been, and continue to be, independent under applicable regulations. During fiscal 2007, our Board of Directors met three times. The Board of Directors also uses resolutions in writing to deal with certain matters, and during fiscal 2007, one resolution in writing was signed by all Directors.

We do not have a nominating committee. Historically our entire Board has selected nominees for election as directors. The Board believes this process has worked well thus far particularly since it has been the Board's practice to require unanimity of Board members with respect to the selection of director nominees. In determining whether to elect a director or to nominate any person for election by our stockholders, the Board assesses the appropriate size of the Board of Directors, consistent with our bylaws, and whether any vacancies on the Board are expected due to retirement or otherwise. If vacancies are anticipated, or otherwise arise, the Board will consider various potential candidates to fill each vacancy. Candidates may come to the attention of the Board through a variety of sources, including from current members of the Board, stockholders, or other persons. The Board of Directors has not yet had the occasion to, but will, consider properly submitted proposed nominations by stockholders who are not directors, officers, or employees of Golden River Resources on the same basis as candidates proposed by any other person.

Audit Committee

Dr David Tyrwhitt and Mr. Mordechai Gutnick constitute our Audit Committee. It is the opinion of the Board of Directors that each of them is an independent director as defined in Rule 10A-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In addition, the Board believes that Mr Tyrwhitt would meet the director independence requirements of the Nasdaq Stock Market if we were listed on such Market, but that Mr. Mordechai Gutnick would not meet such Nasdaq independence requirements in light of his family relationship with Mr. Joseph Gutnick who is our Chief Executive Officer. Our Audit Committee does not include a "financial expert" as defined in Item 401 (e) of Regulation S-B. The Company only has two independent Directors and neither of these independent Directors has a finance background. The Audit Committee met once during fiscal 2007 and the Chair of the Audit Committee met with the external auditors on three occasions during fiscal 2007 in respect to quarterly reports prior to the reports being filed.

Remuneration Committee

The Board has a Remuneration Committee comprised of two independent directors. During fiscal 2007, the Remuneration Committee did not meet.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a Code of Conduct and Ethics and it applies to all Directors, Officers and employees.  A copy of the Code of Conduct and Ethics is posted on our website and we will provide a copy to any person without charge.  If you require a copy, you can download it from our website or alternatively, contact us by facsimile or email and we will send you a copy.

Stockholder Communications with the Board

Stockholders who wish to communicate with the Board of Directors should send their communications to the Chairman of the Bord at the address listed below.  The Chairman of the Board is responsible for forwarding communications to the appropriate Board members.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, our Directors, executive officers and beneficial owners of more than 10% of the outstanding Common Stock are required to file reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission concerning their ownership of and transactions in our Common Stock and are also required to provide to us copies of such reports.  Based solely on such reports and related information furnished to us, we believe that in fiscal 2007 all such filing requirements were complied with in a timely manner by all Directors and executive officers

Item 10.                      Executive Compensation.

The following table sets forth the annual salary, bonuses and all other compensation awards and pay outs on account of our Chief Executive Officer for services rendered to us during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005.  No other executive officer received more than US$100,000 per annum during this period.

2004 Stock Option Plan

The 2004 Plan provides for the granting of options. The maximum number of shares available for awards is 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock on issue at any time (on a fully diluted basis).  If an option expires or is cancelled without having been fully exercised or vested, the remaining shares will generally be available for grants of other awards.

The 2004 Plan is administered by the Remuneration Committee of the Board comprised solely of directors who are not employees or consultants to Golden River Resources or any of its affiliated entities.

Any employee, director, officer, consultant of or to Golden River Resources or an affiliated entity (including a company that becomes an affiliated entity after the adoption of the 2004 Plan) is eligible to participate in the 2004 Plan if the Committee, in its sole discretion, determines that such person has contributed significantly or can be expected to contribute significantly to the success of Golden River Resources or an affiliated entity. During any one year period, no participant is eligible to be granted options to purchase more than 5% shares of our issued and outstanding common stock or if they provide investor relations activities, or are a consultant to the Company, 2% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock in any 12 month period.

Options granted under the 2004 Plan are to purchase Golden River Resources common stock.  The term of each option will be fixed by the Remuneration Committee, but no option will be exercisable more than 10 years after the date of grant.  The option exercise price is fixed by the Remuneration Committee at the time the option is granted.  The exercise price must be paid in cash. Options granted to participants vest and have a term of 10 years, unless otherwise decided by the Board of Directors at the time of issue.

No award is transferable, or assignable by the participant except upon his or her death.

The Board may amend the 2004 Plan, except that no amendment may adversely affect the rights of a participant without the participant’s consent or be made without stockholder approval if such approval is necessary to qualify for or comply with any applicable law, rule or regulation the Board deems necessary or desirable to qualify for or comply with.

Subject to earlier termination by the Board, the 2004 Plan has an indefinite term except that no ISO may be granted following the tenth anniversary of the date the 2004 Plan is approved by stockholders.

None of the proposed recipients have received any stock options or other equity based forms of compensation from us for at least the last three years.

Other than the issue of these Options, there are no other current plans or arrangements to grant any options under the 2004 Plan.

Item 12.                      Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

We are one of five affiliated companies of which four are Australian public companies listed on Australian Stock Exchange.  Each of the companies have some common Directors, officers and shareholders.  In addition, each of the companies owns equity in and is substantially dependent upon AXIS for its senior management and certain mining and exploration staff.  The Company owns 9.09% of the outstanding shares of AXIS.  A number of arrangements and transactions have been entered into from time to time between such companies.  It has been the intention of the affiliated companies and respective Boards of Directors that each of such arrangements or transactions should accommodate the respective interest of the relevant affiliated companies in a manner which is fair to all parties and equitable to the shareholders of each.   Currently, there are no material arrangements or planned transactions between the Company and any of the other affiliated companies other than AXIS.

AXIS is paid by each company for the costs incurred by it in carrying out the administration function for each such company.  Pursuant to the Service Agreement, AXIS performs such functions as payroll, maintaining employee records required by law and by usual accounting procedures, providing insurance, legal, human resources, company secretarial, land management, certain exploration and mining support, financial, accounting advice and services.  AXIS procures items of equipment necessary in the conduct of the business of the Company.  AXIS also provides for the Company various services, including but not limited to the making available of office supplies, office facilities and any other services as may be required from time to time by the Company as and when requested by the Company.

40

 
We are required to reimburse AXIS for any direct costs incurred by AXIS for the Company.  In addition, we are required to pay a proportion of AXIS’s overhead cost based on AXIS’s management estimate of our utilisation of the facilities and activities of AXIS plus a service fee of not more than 15% of the direct and overhead costs.  AXIS has charged the 15% service fee to us during fiscal 2007. Amounts invoiced by AXIS are required to be paid by us.  We are also not permitted to obtain from sources other than AXIS, and we are not permitted to perform or provide ourselves, the services contemplated by the Service Agreement, unless we first requests AXIS to provide the service and AXIS fails to provide the service within one month.

The Service Agreement may be terminated by AXIS or ourselves upon 60 days prior notice.  If the Service Agreement is terminated by AXIS, we would be required to independently provide, or to seek an alternative source of providing, the services currently provided by AXIS.  There can be no assurance that we could independently provide or find a third party to provide these services on a cost-effective basis or that any transition from receiving services under the Service Agreement will not have a material adverse effect on us.  Our inability to provide such services or to find a third party to provide such services may have a material adverse effect on our operations.

In accordance with the Service Agreement AXIS provides the Company with the services of our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and clerical employees, as well as office facilities, equipment, administrative and clerical services. We pay AXIS for the actual costs of such facilities plus a maximum service fee of 15%. The Company paid AXIS A$612,000 (being A$591,550 in respect to the current year and A$20,450 being the amount owing at June 30, 2006) in respect of the Service Agreement for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 and A$825,939 (being A$529,175 in respect to the 2006 and A$296,764 in respect to the 2005 year) in respect of the Service Agreement for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006.

During 2007, AXIS loaned the Company A$53,000 and A$108,000 during 2006. At June 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company owed AXIS A$140,585 and A$296,764 respectively for services provided in accordance with the Service Agreement. During fiscal 2007 and 2006, AXIS Consultants charged interest of A$3,788 and A$13,879 respectively on outstanding balances. AXIS charged interest rates at 9.35% for fiscal 2006 and between 9.60% and 10.10% for fiscal 2007. During fiscal 2007, AXIS paid interest net of tax of A$5,270. The amount owing to AXIS at June 30, 2007 is included within accounts payable and accrued expenses.

Wilzed Pty Ltd, a company associated with the President of the Company, Joseph Gutnick, has provided loan funds to enable the Company to meet its liabilities.  During the 2005 fiscal year, Wilzed loaned A$644,633 and charged A$31,235 in interest.  We repaid $396.  At June 30, 2005, the Company owed Wilzed A$675,472.  Wilzed charged interest during fiscal 2005 at rates between 9.10% and 9.35%. During the 2006 fiscal year, Wilzed loaned A$1,241,836 and charged A$83,243 in interest and we repaid $550. Wilzed charged interest during fiscal 2006 at the rate of 9.35%. In May, 2006, we agreed to issue to Fast Knight Nominees up to 10 million shares of common stock at an issue price of A$0.20 (US$0.1542) and 20 million options with an exercise price of A$0.20 per share with a latest expiry date of April 30, 2011, as repayment of A$2 million in loans from Wilzed to the Company. Wilzed agreed to accept the shares and options as satisfaction of the loan and instructed us to issue the shares and options to Fast Knight Nominees, a company that is also associated with Mr. Gutnick.

Mr Joseph Gutnick, the President of the Company, advanced us the initial deposit to open a US Dollar bank account. The amount of A$1,329 (US$1,000) was repaid in July, 2006.

Kerisridge Pty Ltd, a company associated with our President, Mr J I Gutnick, loaned us A$2,273,186 in March 2004 for the purpose of repaying our long term debt.  On March 31, 2004, Kerisridge agreed to convert all of the debt we owed to it into common stock and warrants in us.  We issued 1,753,984 shares of common stock and 1,753,984 warrants exercisable at US$1.30 and at any time up to March 31, 2006 in full repayment of the amount owing to Kerisridge. Kerisridge did not exercise the warrants prior to the expiry date.

Transactions with Management.

We have a policy that we will not enter into any transaction with an Officer, Director or affiliate of us or any member of their families unless the transaction is approved by a majority of our disinterested non-employee Directors and the disinterested majority determines that the terms of the transaction are no less favourable to us than the terms available from non-affiliated third parties or are otherwise deemed to be fair to us at the time authorised.

As part of its duties, our Audit Committee pre-approves audit and non-audit services performed by our independent auditors in order to assure that the provision of such services does not impair the auditors’ independence.  Our Audit Committee does not delegate to management its responsibilities to pre-approve services performed by our independent auditors.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm



To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Golden River Resources Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Golden River Resources Corporation and Subsidiaries (An Exploration Stage Company) as of June 30, 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 and the cumulative period from July 1, 2002 (inception of exploration activities) through June 30, 2007.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Golden River Resources Corporation and Subsidiaries at June 30, 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 and the cumulative period from July 1, 2002 (inception of exploration activities) through June 30, 2007 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.  As described in note 1, at June 30, 2007 the Company had not yet commenced revenue producing operations and had a retained deficit of A$34,518,000 (US$29,299,000).  These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.  Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also discussed in note 1.

GOLDEN RIVER RESOURCES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
(An Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2007 and 2006

(1)         ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

Golden River Resources Corporation. ("Golden River Resources” or the “Company") is incorporated in the State of Delaware.  The principal shareholders of Golden River Resources are Joseph and Stera Gutnick, Australian residents who own [79.36%] of Golden River Resources as of June 30, 2007.  During fiscal 1998, Golden River Resources incorporated a subsidiary, Baynex.com Pty Ltd (formerly Bayou Australia Pty Ltd), under the laws of Australia.  Baynex.com has not traded since incorporation.  On August 21, 2000 the Company incorporated a new wholly owned subsidiary, Bay International Pty Ltd, (now known as Bay Resources (Asia) Pty Ltd), a corporation incorporated under the laws of Australia. In May 2002, the Company incorporated a new wholly owned subsidiary, Golden Bull Resources Corporation (“Golden Bull”) (formerly 4075251 Canada Inc), a corporation incorporated under the laws of Canada. Golden Bull is the vehicle that will be used by the Company to undertake exploration activities for gold on the Committee Bay Properties in Canada.

During the 2002 fiscal year, Golden River Resources expanded its gold exploration business by entering into an agreement to explore for gold on extensive property interests in northern Canada held by Tahera Corporation; and making application via a new 100% owned subsidiary, Golden Bull Resources Corporation, for properties in the highly prospective Committee Bay Greenstone Belt in Nunavut, Canada.

Golden River Resources originally applied for 29 claims totaling 71,694 acres in the Committee Bay Greenstone Belt in central Nunavut, Canada. These claims were recorded on October 16, 2002.  From the original area, Golden River Resources retained a total of 49,439.48 acres on 21 claims.  To keep the claims in good standing, Golden River Resources needed to spend a total of CN$197,798 of assessment work was required to be completed by the anniversary date of October 16, 2004. A total of CDN$98,879 is required in each subsequent year up to 2012 (at which point a decision to bring the claims to lease must be made).  Golden River Resources spent more than the minimum requirement and the excess spent can be used to offset the expenditure requirements in following years.  As a result, Golden River Resources has already met its commitment until 2012.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplates continuation of Golden River Resources as a going concern.  However, Golden River Resources is an exploration stage company which has not yet commenced revenue producing operations and has sustained recurring losses since inception.

In addition, Golden River Resources has historically relied on loans and advances from corporations affiliated with the President of Golden River Resources and fund raising through the sale of equity instruments.

The Company’s ability to continue operations through fiscal 2007 is dependent upon future funding from capital raisings, or its ability to commence revenue producing operations and positive cash flows.

The Company raised A$2,253,000 in April 2004 through the issuance of shares under a Private Placement and has used that funding to commence exploration activity in Canada and A$2,065,000 in June 2006 through the issuance of normal and special warrants under a private placement and used the funds to continue exploration activity in Canada and for working capital purposes.

(2)         RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS no. 154, "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections ("SFAS No. 154") which replaces APB Opinion No. 20, "Accounting Changes" and SFAS No. 3, "Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements-An Amendment of ABP Opinion No. 28. SFAS No. 154 provides guidance on the accounting for and reporting of accounting changes and error corrections.  Specially, this statement requires "retrospective application" of the direct effect for a voluntary change in accounting principle to prior periods' financial statements, if it is practical to do so. SFAS No. 154 also strictly defines the term "restatement" to mean the correction of an error revising previously issued financial statements. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and correction of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005 and has been adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2007.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2007 and 2006

(2)         RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (continued)

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”– an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48), which provides clarification related to the process associated with accounting for uncertain tax positions recognized in consolidated financial statements. FIN 48 prescribes a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken, or expected to be taken, in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance related to, among other things, classification, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, and disclosure requirements. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s future reported financial position or results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” which provides enhanced guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 157 provides a common definition of fair value and establishes a framework to make the measurement of fair value in generally accepted accounting principles more consistent and comparable. SFAS No. 157 also requires expanded disclosures to provide information about the extent to which fair value is used to measure assets and liabilities, the methods and assumptions used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value measures on earnings. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the effect, if any, the adoption of SFAS No 157 will have on the results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements”. SAB No 108 was issued in order to eliminate the diversity in practice surrounding how public companies quantify financial statement misstatements. SAB No 108 requires that registrants quantify errors using both a balance sheet (iron curtain) approach and an income statement (rollover) approach then evaluate whether either approach results in a misstatement amount that, when all relevant quanitative and qualitative factors are considered, is material. SAB No 108 is effective for the fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006, and is not expected to materially impact our financial position or results of operations.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115”, which permits companies to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect SFAS 159 to have a material impact on its results of operations or financial position.

(3)         ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed in connection with the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

(a)        Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Golden River Resources and the 100% interest it holds in Baynex.com Pty Ltd, Bay Resources (Asia) Pty Ltd and Golden Bull Resources Corporation.  All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

(b)        Foreign Currency Translation

The majority of Golden River Resources’ administrative operations are in Australia and as a result the reporting currency of its consolidated accounts are maintained in Australian dollars.  The functional currency of the Company‘s Canadian subsidiary is the Canadian dollar.  The income and expenses of operations are translated into Australian dollars at the average exchange rate prevailing during the period. Assets and liabilities of the Canadian subsidiary are translated into Australian dollars at the period-end exchange rate.  The resulting translation adjustments are accumulated in a separate component of Stockholders Equity.  Foreign currency translation adjustments have not been material for all periods presented.

(3)         ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(b)       Foreign Currency Translation (continued)

Foreign currency exchange loss in 2007 amounted to A$106,000 (US$90,000). The Company holds a bank account in US dollars. The US dollar has moved against the A$ for the twelve months by 16.3%.
 
(c)        Financial Instruments

The Company’s cash, receivables, payables and short term borrowings represent financial instruments whose carrying amounts reasonably approximate their fair value.

(d)        Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 (SFAS 130) “Reporting Comprehensive Income”.  SFAS 130 requires a company to report comprehensive income (loss) and its components in a full set of financial statements.  Comprehensive income (loss) is the change in equity during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources, such as unrealized gains (losses) on foreign currency translation adjustments.  Changes in unrealized foreign currency translation gains or (losses) during fiscal 2007 and 2006 amounted to A$5,000 and (A$8,000), respectively.  Accordingly, comprehensive loss for the years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 amounted to A$1,779,000 and A$1,336,000, respectively.

(e)       Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost.  Depreciation is computed over a period covering the estimated useful life of the applicable property and equipment.  Accumulated depreciation and depreciation expense as of and for the year ended June 30, 2007 amounted to A$21,052 (2006 A$15,261) and A$6,806 (2006 $7,925) respectively.

(f)        Cash Equivalents

Golden River Resources considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.  For the periods presented there were no cash equivalents.

(g)        Federal Income Tax

The Company follows the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", which requires an asset and liability approach to calculating deferred income taxes.  The asset and liability approach requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. For the period presented, there was no taxable income. There are no deferred income taxes resulting from temporary differences in reporting certain income and expense items for income tax and financial accounting purposes. Golden River Resources, at this time, is not aware of any net operating losses which are expected to be realised.

(h)         Loss per share

Basic (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive loss per share has not been presented as the effects of common stock equivalents are anti-dilutive. The Company has on issue 10,000,000 special warrants which are exercisable at any time until expiration and for no consideration. However, there is a restriction in the subscription agreement that does not allow the Company to process a warrant exercise notice if the holder (and its associates) would hold more than 9.99% of the shares of common stock. Accordingly, the Company

(i)         Exploration Expenditure

 Exploration expenditure consisting of prospecting and exploration costs are written off into operations as incurred.

(j)         Accounting for Stock Options

For the issuances of stock options, the Company follows the fair value provisions of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R) “Share Based Payments”.  SFAS 123(R) requires the company to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on grant date fair value.  The cost will be recognised over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award – usually the vesting period.  In the case where there is no required service period, the fair value of the equity instruments is expensed immediately. As stock-based compensation expense recognized in the Statement of Operations for the year ended is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. SFAS 123(R) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

(k)        Pension Plans

The Company does not have any pension or profit sharing plans.  The Company’s Vice President Exploration and temporary staff employed in the exploration programme in Canada are subject to Canadian requirements for contributions to pension plans.  Contributions to employee benefit or health plans during the year ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 were A$nil and A$8,528 respectively.

(l)         Concentrations of credit risk

The Company monitors its position with, and the credit quality of, the financial institution it invests with. As of the balance sheet date, and periodically throughout the year, the Company has maintained balances in various operating accounts in excess of federally insured limits.

(m)       Convenience Translation to US$

The consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended June 30, 2007 have been translated into United States dollars using the rate of exchange of the United States dollar at June 30, 2007 (A$1.00=US$0.8488). The translation was made solely for the convenience of readers in the United States.

Golden River Resources advances to and receives advances from various affiliates.  All advances between consolidated affiliates are eliminated on consolidation.

Included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities at June 30, 2007 was A$140,585 due to AXIS, an affiliated management company. The Company paid AXIS A$612,000 (being A$591,550 in respect to the current year and A$20,450 being the amount owing at June 30, 2006) in respect of the Service Agreement for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, and A$825,939 (being A$529,175 in respect to the current year and A$296,764 being the amount owing at June 30, 2005) in respect of the Service Agreement for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. During 2007, AXIS loaned the Company A$53,000 and A$108,000 during 2006. At June 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company owed AXIS A$140,585 and A$296,764 respectively for services provided in accordance with the Service Agreement.

Wilzed agreed to accept the shares and options as satisfaction of the loan and instructed us to issue the shares and options to Fast Knight Nominees, a company that is also associated with Mr Gutnick. Wilzed charged interest at rates between 9.10% and 9.35% for fiscal 2005, and at 9.35% for fiscal 2006. At June 30, 2006, the amount owned by the Company to Wilzed was nil.

Mr Joseph Gutnick, the President of the Company advanced the Company the initial deposit on opening of a US Dollar bank account. The amount of A$1,329 (US$1,000) was repaid in July 2006.

Interest expense incurred on loans and advances due to affiliated entities approximated A$3,800 and A$104,000 in fiscal 2007 and 2006, respectively. Interest income net of tax earned on an advance to an affiliated entity was approximately $5,300 in fiscal 2007.

(6)         CONTINGENT LIABILITY

The Company has received an invoice from a corporation that conducted the pegging of the claims in Canada on behalf of the Company. A number of claims that were pegged were not ultimately issued to the Company due to a number of errors by the pegging Company. The Company had advised the pegging company that it does not believe any further payments are due to the pegging company as a result of the economic loss incurred by Golden River Resources. The Company believes that if it is unsuccessful in defending any claim that is brought against it, the maximum potential liability is C$59,000 (A$66,218).  No accrued liability has been recorded in the accompanying financial statement pending the ultimate disposition of this matter.

(7)  
INCOME TAXES

Golden River Resources files its income tax returns on an accrual basis.  Golden River Resources should have carry-forward losses of approximately US$22.6 million as of June 30, 2007 which will expire in the years 2007 through 2025.  Golden River Resources will need to file tax returns for those years having losses on which returns have not been filed to establish the tax benefits of the net operating loss carry forwards. Due to the uncertainty of the availability and future utilization of those operating loss carry-forwards, management has provided a full valuation against the related tax benefit. The valuation allowance did not change being US$7.5 million at June 30, 2006 and US$7.5 million at June 30, 2007

(8)         STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY

In February and March 2004, holders of options to acquire 8,000,000 shares of the common stock informed the Company of their intentions to exercise the cashless exercise feature of their option agreement.  As a result the Company issued 6,943,057 shares of its common stock.

In March 2004, the Company raised US$1,670,000 (A$2,253,000) through a private placement by issuing 1,670,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 1,670,000 shares of common stock at US$1.30 per share.  The warrants expire in two years from the date of issuance.

In March 2004, the Company received a loan from an affiliated entity in the amount of A$2,273,000 (US$1,754,000) which was used to repay other outstanding amounts due to affiliated entities.  This loan was later satisfied through the issuance of 1,753,984 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 1,753,984 shares of common stock at $1.30 per share.  The warrants expire in two years from the date of issuance.

At June 30, 2005 the Company has outstanding stock options as detailed in footnote 10.  At June 30, 2005 the Company had warrants outstanding to purchase 3,423,984 shares of common stock at US$1.30 per share.  All of the warrants expired in 2006.

In May 2006, the Company issued 10,000,000 shares of common stock at an issue price of A$0.20 (US$0.1542) and 20,000,000 warrants with an exercise price of A$0.20 (US$0.1542) and a latest exercise date of April 30, 2011 as repayment of a debt of A$2,000,000 to an affiliated entity.

In June 2006, the Company raised US$1,542,000 (A$2,065,499) through a private placement of 20,000,000 normal warrants and 10,000,000 special warrants. The normal warrants have a time to expiry date of April 30, 2011 and an exercise price of US$0.1542 (A$0.20). The special warrants can be exercised any time up to June 9, 2016 without any consideration, at which time all special warrants that have not been exercised will automatically convert into shares of common stock. The Company was required to file a Registration Statement with the SEC for the 20,000,000 normal warrants and 10,000,000 special warrants. The Company was required to prepare and file with the SEC within sixty (60) calendar days after the Closing Date a registration statement which registration statement was declared effective on October 17, 2006.

The Company is obligated to keep such registration statement effective until the earlier of (i) the date that all of the Registrable Securities have been sold pursuant to such registration statement, (ii) all Registrable Securities have been otherwise transferred to persons who may trade such shares without restriction under the Securities Act, and the Company has delivered a new certificate or other evidence of ownership for such securities not bearing a restrictive legend, or (iii) all Registrable Securities may be sold at any time, without volume or manner of sale

limitations pursuant to Rule 144(k) or any similar provision then in effect under the Securities Act; or (iv) 2 years from the effective date.

(9)         ISSUE OF OPTIONS UNDER STOCK OPTION PLAN

On July 1, 2006, the Company adopted revised SFAS No.123, Share-Based payment, which addresses the accounting for share-based payment transactions in which a company receives employee services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of that company or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the company’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments.

Because the Company had previously adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, the revised standard did not have a material impact on its financial statements.

The Company has accounted for all options issued based upon their fair market value using either the Black Scholes or Binomial option pricing method. Prior to 2006, the Company used the Black Scholes option pricing method to determine the fair market value of options issued. In 2006, the Company changed from using the Black Scholes option pricing method to the Binomial option pricing model. The Binomial option pricing model breaks down the time to expiration into a number of steps or intervals and can therefore be used to value American style options, taking into account the possibility of early exercise and reflect changing inputs over time. The options issued in 2006 have three vesting periods and therefore, the Company believed the Binomial option pricing model was a more accurate measure of the fair value of the options.

In October 2004, the Board of Directors and Remuneration Committee of the Company adopted a Stock Option Plan and agreed to issue 1,400,000 options and up to a further 500,000 options to acquire shares of common stock in the Company, at an exercise price of US$1.00 per option, subject to shareholder approval which was subsequently received on January 27, 2005.  Of the total 1,400,000 options issued, 350,000 vest immediately following shareholder approval, 50,000 vested on March 31, 2005, 333,331 vested on July 27, 2005, 333,334 vested on January 27, 2006 and the balance of 333,335 vested on July 27, 2006.  An additional 500,000 options were not granted as the proposed recipient had resigned prior to the date on which the options were issuable. The exercise price of US$1.00 was derived from the issue price of common stock from the placement of shares on March 31, 2004 and is considered by the Company’s Directors to be the fair value of the common stock.  The options expire on October 15, 2014.

The Company has calculated the fair value of the 1,400,000 options using the Black Scholes valuation method using a share price of US$1.00, strike price of US$1.00, maturity period of 5 years 7 ½ months, risk free interest rate of 5.15% and volatility of 20%.  This equates to a value of US31.85 cents per option.  The total value of the options equates to A$575,100 (US$438,200) and is being amortised over the vesting period.  For fiscal 2007, the amortization amounted to A$6,771 (US$5,747). At June 30, 2007, the options were fully vested.

Consistent with the provisions of APB No.25, the Company recorded the fair value of stock option grants in stockholders equity. Under SFAS No.123R an equity instrument is not considered to be issued until the instrument vests. Accordingly, as provided in SFAS No.123R effective July 1, 2005, the Company has reversed A$198,000 (US$150,876) being the unamortized restricted stock compensation at June 30, 2005 included in stockholders equity for the unvested portions of stock option grants awarded prior to the effective date of SFAS No.123R.

During fiscal 2006, 50,000 options lapsed when Mr P. Ehrlich resigned as a Director, and 250,000 options lapsed on July 4, 2006 following Mr P Althaus’ resignation as Chief Operating Officer.

A summary of the options outstanding and exercisable at June 30, 2007 are as follows:

(9)         ISSUE OF OPTIONS UNDER STOCK OPTION PLAN (continued)

On October 19, 2006, the Directors of the Company agreed to offer a further 4,650,000 options under the Stock Option Plan. The options have no issue price, an exercise price of US30.84 cents, and a latest exercise date of October 19, 2016. The options vest 1/3 on October 19, 2007 (“T1”), 1/3 on October 19, 2008 (“T2”) and 1/3 on October 19, 2009 (“T3”). The Company obtained an external valuation on the options from an unrelated third party. The Company has calculated the fair value of the 4,650,000 options using the binomial option pricing model using a fair value share price of US$0.166, exercise price of US30.84 cents, expected life T1 - 5 years 6 months, T2 - 6 years, T3 - 6 years 6 months, risk-free interest rate of 4.75% and volatility of 90%. The total value of the options equates to A$696,976 (US$525,450) and is being amortized over the vesting periods. For fiscal 2007, the amortization amounted to A$293,037 (US$248,730). At June 30, 2007, the unamortized deferred compensation related to these 4,650,000 options amounted to A$403,939 (US$342,863).

When aggregated with the amortization of the options issued in October 2004, for fiscal 2007, the total amortization amounted to $299,808 (US$254,477).

A summary of the options outstanding and exercisable at June 30, 2007 are as follows:

 
Outstanding
Exercisable
Number of options
4,650,000
0
Exercise price
US$0.308
US$0.308
Expiration date

October 19, 2016

In October 2004, the Company calculated the fair value of the options issued at that time using the Black Scholes valuation method and in October 2006, the Company calculated the fair value of the options issued in October 2006 using the binomial valuation method.

Management utilized the services of an external consultant to calculate the fair value of the options issued in October 2006. The external consultant recommended the use of the binomial option pricing model instead of the Black Scholes option pricing model. It was the consultant’s and the management’s view that given the options three vesting periods, the binomial option pricing model was a more accurate measure of the fair value rather than the Black Scholes option pricing model.

The binomial methodology breaks down the time to expiration into a number of steps or intervals and can therefore be used to value American style options, taking into account the possibility of early exercise and reflect changing inputs over time.  This is the preferred methodology as it is able to capture the valuation impact of any market-based performance hurdles, for example target share price, that may not be captured by the Black Scholes option pricing model.

Under SFAS 154, the change in option pricing model from Black Scholes to binomial is a change in an accounting estimate. The Company has also calculated the fair value of the options issued in October 2006 using the Black Scholes method and there is no difference between the fair value under both methods.
