The Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries include Paramount Gold de Mexico S.A. de C.V., Magnetic Resources Ltd, Minera Gama SA de CV, Compania Minera Paramount SAC and X-Cal Resources Ltd. The Company is an exploration stage company in the process of exploring its mineral properties, and has not yet determined whether these properties contain reserves that are economically recoverable.

2. Principal Accounting Policies:

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the do not include all of the disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all of the normal and recurring adjustments necessary to fairly present the interim financial information set forth herein have been included. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results of a full year or of future years.

These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and, with the exception of new accounting pronouncements described in Note 2, follow the same accounting policies and methods of their application as the most recent annual financial statements. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related footnotes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Paramount Gold and Silver Corp. for the year ended June 30, 2010.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

All highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase are classified as cash and cash equivalents.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company has adopted FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which defines fair value, establishes guidelines for measuring fair value and expands disclosures regarding fair value measurements. The company applies fair value accounting for all financial assets and liabilities and non – financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The Company has adopted FASB ASC 825, Financial Instruments, which allows companies to choose to measure eligible financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not required to be measured at fair value. The Company has not elected the fair value option for any eligible financial instruments.

2. Principal Accounting Policies (Continued):

Notes Receivable

Notes receivable are classified as available-for-sale or held-to-maturity, depending on our intent with respect to holding such investments. If it is readily determinable, notes receivable classified as available-for-sale is accounted for at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are excluded from earnings and reported net of tax as a component of other comprehensive income within shareholders’ equity. Interest income is recognized when earned.

Stock Based Compensation

The Company has adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 718, “Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”), which establishes accounting for equity instruments exchanged for employee services. Under the provisions of ASC 718, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the employees’ requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant).

Comprehensive Income

FASB ASC 220“Reporting Comprehensive Income” establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in the financial statements. As of June 30, 2010 and June 30 2009, the Company’s only component of comprehensive income is foreign currency translation adjustments.

Long Term Assets

Mineral Properties

Mineral property acquisition costs are capitalized when incurred and will be amortized using the units –of – production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve following the commencement of production. If a mineral property is subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs will be expensed in the period of abandonment or impairment.

Acquisition costs include cash consideration and the fair market value of shares issued on the acquisition of mineral properties.

Exploration Costs

Exploration costs, which include maintenance, development and exploration of mineral claims, are expensed as incurred. When it is determined that a mineral deposit can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs incurred after such determination will be capitalized and amortized over their useful lives. To date, the Company has not established the commercial feasibility of its exploration prospects; therefore, all exploration costs are being expensed.

Fixed Assets

Equipment is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. All equipment is amortized over its estimated useful life at the following annual rates, with half the rate being applied in the period of acquisition:

	Computer equipment	30% declining balance
	Equipment	20% declining balance
	Furniture and fixtures	20% declining balance
	Exploration equipment	20% declining balance

2. Principal Accounting Policies (Continued):

Income Taxes

Potential benefits of income tax losses are not recognized in the accounts until realization is more likely than not. The Company has adopted FASB ASC 740 as of its inception. Pursuant to FASB ASC 740 the Company is required to compute tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward. Potential benefits of net operating losses have not been recognized in these financial statements because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future periods; and accordingly is offset by a valuation allowance. FIN No.48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken into in tax returns.

To the extent interest and penalties may be assessed by taxing authorities on any underpayment of income tax, such amounts would be accrued and classified as a component of income tax expense in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company elected this accounting policy, which is a continuation of our historical policy, in connection with our adoption of FIN 48.

Foreign Currency Translation

The parent company’s functional currency is the United States dollar. The consolidated financial statements of the Company are translated to United States dollars in accordance with FASB ASC 830 “Foreign Currency Translation” (“ASC 830”). Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the consolidated balance sheet date. Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income. Foreign currency transactions are primarily undertaken in Mexican pesos and Canadian Dollars. The Company has not, to the date of these financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

The functional currencies of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries are the U.S. Dollar and the Canadian Dollar. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are translated to United States dollars in accordance with ASC 830 using period-end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange for the period for revenues and expenses. Translation gains (losses) are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a component of stockholders’ equity. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in the statement of operations.

Asset Retirement Obligation

The Company has adopted ASC 410-20 “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations”, which requires that an asset retirement obligation (“ARO”) associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset be recognized as a liability in the period in which it is incurred and becomes determinable, with an offsetting increase in the carrying amount of the associated asset. The cost of the tangible asset, including the initially recognized ARO, is depleted such that the cost of the ARO is recognized over the useful life of the asset. The ARO is recorded at fair value, and accretion expense is recognizable over time as the discounted liability is accreted to its expected settlement value. The fair value of the ARO is measured using expected future cash flows, discounted at the Company’s credit-adjusted-risk-free interest rate.

2. Principal Accounting Policies (Continued):

Environmental Protection and Reclamation Costs

The operations of the Company have been, and may in the future be affected from time to time in varying degrees by changes in environmental regulations, including those for future removal and site restoration costs. Both the likelihood of new regulations and their overall effect upon the Company may vary from region to region and are not predictable.

Environmental expenditures that relate to ongoing environmental and reclamation programs are charged against statements of operations as incurred or capitalized and amortized depending upon their future economic benefits.

Loss per Share

The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with FASB ASC 260, “Earnings per Share”. FASB ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS give effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. In computing Diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti dilutive.

Concentration of Credit and Foreign Exchange Rate Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit and foreign exchange risk consist principally of cash, deposited with a high quality credit institution and amounts receivable, mainly representing value added tax recoverable from a foreign government. Management does not believe that the Company is subject to significant credit or foreign exchange risk from these financial instruments.

Fair Value Measurements

On July 1, 2008, the Company adopted FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements as it relates to financial assets and financial liabilities. In February 2008, the FASB staff issued ASC 845, Effective Date of ASC 820 (“ASC 820”). ASC 845 delayed the effective date of ASC 820 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). The provisions of ASC 845 are effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning July 1, 2009.

ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. This standard is now the single source in GAAP for the definition of fair value, except for the fair value of leased property as defined in ASC 820. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed, based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed, based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3).

2. Principal Accounting Policies (Continued):

Fair Value Measurements (Continued)

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 are described below:

Level 1

Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

Level 2

Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3

Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value by level within the fair value hierarchy. As required by ASC 820, assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

	Fair Value at December 31, 2010								June 30, 2010
Assets	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
	$		$		$		$		$
Cash equivalents		17,132,173		17,132,173		-		-		21,380,505
Accounts receivable		2,110,067		2,110,067		-		-		1,511,619
Loan Advance		-		-		-		-		243,495
Equity Conversion Right		336,590		336,590		-		-		516,545
Marketable Securities		2,700		2,700		-		-		-
Liabilities
Warrant liability		25,232,895		-		-		25,232,895		5,979,767

The Company’s cash equivalents and GIC are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices. The cash equivalents that are valued based on quoted market prices in active markets are primarily comprised of commercial paper, short-term certificates of deposit and U.S. Treasury securities. The accounts receivable represent amounts due from a national government regarding refund of taxes. The notes receivable is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Equity Conversion Right is accounted for as an asset and is classified within Level 1 because the underlying security has a published and observable market. The Company uses the published closing stock price of the underlying security at the end of the financial reporting period to determine the fair value of the asset. The change in fair value is recorded in the statement of operations as a loss (gain).

The changes in fair value of the Equity Conversion Right during the period ended December 31, 2010 was as follows:

Balance at September 30, 2010	413,773
Change in fair value recorded in earnings	(77,183	)
Balance at December 31, 2010	336,590

Fair Value Measurements (Continued)

The estimated fair value of warrants and options accounted for as liabilities was determined on the date of closing and marked to market at each financial reporting period. The change in fair value of the warrants is recorded in the statement of operations as a gain (loss) and is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following inputs:

	December 31, 2010
Risk free interest rate		0.25	%
Expected life of warrants and options	1 to 2 years
Expected stock price volatility		70.89	%
Expected dividend yield		0	%

The changes in fair value of the warrants during the year ended December 31, 2010 were as follows:

Balance at September 30, 2010	6,347,877
Issuance of warrants and options	-
Change in fair value recorded in earnings	21,951,146
Transferred to equity upon exercise	(3,066,128	)
Balance at December 31, 2010	25,232,895

Derivatives

In March 2008, the FASB issued ASC 815, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“ASC 815”). ASC 815 requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal periods beginning after November 15, 2008.

Effective July 1, 2009, we adopted the amended provisions of ASC 815 on determining what types of instruments or embedded features in an instrument held by a reporting entity can be considered indexed to its own stock for the purpose of evaluating the first criteria of the scope exception in ASC 815. Warrants and options issued in prior periods with exercise prices denominated in Canadian dollars are no longer considered indexed to our stock, as their exercise price is not in the Company’s functional currency of the US dollar, and therefore no longer qualify for the scope exception and must be accounted for as a derivative. These warrants and options are reclassified as liabilities under the caption “Warrant liability” and recorded at estimated fair value at each reporting date, computed using the Black-Scholes valuation method. Changes in the liability from period to period are recorded in the Statements of Operations under the caption “Change in fair value of warrant liability.” On July 1, 2010, we recorded a cumulative effect adjustment based on the grant date fair value of warrants issued during the year ended June 30, 2009 that were outstanding at July 1, 2009 and the change in fair value of the warrant liability from the issuance date through to July 1, 2009.

We have elected to record the change in fair value of the warrant liability as a component of other income and expense on the statement of operations as we believe the amounts recorded relate to financing activities and not as a result of our operations.

3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

ASC 860

In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 860, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement” (“ASC 860”). ASC 860 is intended to establish standards of financial reporting for the transfer of assets to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability. ASC 860 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2009. The Company will adopt ASC 860 on July 1, 2010. The Company has determined that the adoption of ASC 860 will have no impact on its consolidated financial statements.

ASC 810

In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 810, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” (“ASC 810”). ASC 810 eliminates the exception to consolidate a qualifying special-purpose entity, changes the approach to determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity, and requires companies to more frequently re-assess whether they must consolidate variable interest entities. Under the new guidance, the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity is identified qualitatively as the enterprise that has both (a) the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity. ASC 810 becomes effective for the Company’s fiscal 2011 year-end and interim reporting periods thereafter. The Company does not expect ASC 810 to have a material impact on its financial statements.

The stockholders also approved the re-pricing of the exercise price of all outstanding stock options to $0.65 per share.

Stock Based Compensation

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option valuation model to value stock options granted. The Black-Scholes model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. The model requires management to make estimates which are subjective and may not be representative of actual results. Changes in assumptions can materially affect estimates of fair values. For purposes of the calculation, the following assumptions were used:

	December 31, 2010			December 31, 2009
Risk free interest rate		0.57%-0.67	%		0.40%-0.47	%
Expected dividend yield		0	%		0	%
Expected stock price volatility		84%-87	%		114%-116	%
Expected life of options	1 to 2 years			3 years

Changes in the Company’s stock options for the year ended December 31, 2010 are summarized below:

Options	Number		Weighted Avg. Exercise Price		Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Term		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Balance, beginning of period		3,674,375		1.23		1.72		1,840,781

Exercisable at December 31, 2010		3,351,457		1.22		1.40		9,203,699

At December 31, 2010, there were 4,263,125 options outstanding. Options outstanding above that have not been vested at period end are 911,668 which have a maximum service term of 1- 4 years. The vesting of these options is dependent on market conditions which have yet to be met.

For the three month period ended December 31, 2010 the Company recognized stock based compensation expense in the amount of $272,700 (2009 - $209,191).

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is designed to provide a reader of our financial statements with a narrative from management’s perspective on our liquidity financial condition, results of operations and other factors that may affect our future results. This MD&A should be read in conjunction with the accompanying interim financial statements and related notes. We also believe it is important to read our MD&A in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2010, as well as other publicly available information.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended December 31, 2010 contains “ forward-looking statements”. Generally, the words “believes”, “anticipates,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “continue,” and similar expressions or the negative thereof or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements which include, but are not limited to, statements concerning the Company’s expectations regarding its working capital requirements, financing requirements, business prospects, and other statements of expectations, beliefs, future plans and strategies, anticipated events or trends, and similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including the matters set forth in this Quarterly Report or other reports or documents the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time, which could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those projected.

OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION

When used in this report, the terms "Paramount," the "Company," “we," "our," and "us" refers to Paramount Gold and Silver Corp., a Delaware corporation.

Company Overview and History

The Company is a U.S. based exploration stage mining company with multi-million ounce advanced stage precious metals projects in Nevada (Sleeper) and northern Mexico (San Miguel). We are a Delaware corporation incorporated on March 29, 2005. Our executive office is located at 665 Anderson Street, Winnemucca, Nevada. We also have a field office in Temoris, Chihuahua Mexico.

The Company’s business strategy is to acquire and develop known mineral deposits in large-scale geological environments in North America. This helps eliminate discovery risks and significantly increases the efficiency and effectiveness of exploration programs. Our projects are located in established mining camps near successful operating mines. This greatly reduces the related costs for infrastructure requirements at the exploration stage and eventually for mine construction and operations. The Company’s management is also focused on advancing its gold-bearing tailings and leach pad heaps at the former Sleeper mine towards an early production decision to generate near-term cash flow.

Nevada Exploration Projects

The Company’s Nevada exploration projects consist of the Sleeper Gold Property, located in Humboldt County, Nevada, the Mill Creek Property and the Reese River Property both located in Lander County, Nevada, and WR Claims in the Spring Valley Area located in Pershing County, Nevada, United States. Our focus will be the exploration of the Sleeper Gold Property located in Humboldt County, Nevada.

Acquisition of X-Cal Resources Ltd.

On August 23, 2010, the Company completed the acquisition of X-Cal Resources Ltd. (“X-Cal”). We acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of X-Cal in exchange for 22,007,453 shares of our common stock. The principal asset of X-Cal is the Sleeper Gold Mine located in Humboldt County, Nevada. We intend to focus on drilling mine scale exploration targets defined by current and ongoing studies. The objective of the drilling is to test the targets for gold deposits that warrant follow up drilling for discoveries that can be mined by open pits or underground workings.

Index

The Company has budgeted $3 million towards an exploration program on its Sleeper Mine Property. The program commenced in October 2010 with the following objectives:

Confirm the geological model on which the existing resource estimate was based;

Test the potential for a significant strike extension to the north of the West Wood resource area

Collect samples for use in metallurgical test work as the next step in completing a Preliminary Economic Assessment of the West Wood resource

Evaluate the potential expansion of a high grade vein occurrence at the Facilities target

Collect new mineralized material for use in metallurgical test work; and

Increase the drill density to upgrade the classification of inferred resources in the resource area.

Sleeper Gold Property

Location

The Sleeper Gold Property is located 26 miles northwest of Winnemucca, Nevada. Automobile and truck access to the property is by Interstate Highway 80 to Winnemucca, north on Highway 95 for 32 miles, west on Highway 140 for 14 miles, and then south for 6 miles on the maintained gravel Sod House Road to the project site. An office building, heavy equipment enclosure plus assorted equipment are present on the Sleeper Gold Property. Necessary supplies, equipment and services to carry out full sequence exploration and mining development projects are available in Winnemucca, Reno, and Elko, Nevada.

Titles

X-Cal acquired 100% interest and operatorship of the Sleeper Gold Project in 2006. In December 2006, X-Cal acquired 100% title to the York Leased Lands with no royalties pursuant to a buy out agreement with York Mines. X-Cal has the rights to explore, develop and mine the Sleeper Gold Property.

The Sleeper Gold Property includes a historic open pit mine operated by AMAX Gold from 1986 until 1996, which produced 1.66 million ounces of gold, and 2.3 million ounces of silver. The property has been the subject of several exploration programs. These programs have produced an extensive database for current exploration targeting and continuing studies.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At December 31, 2010 we had a cash balance of $17,132,173 compared to $19,095,311 for the same period in the prior year. The net reduction in cash is attributable to the funding of our exploration program at our San Miguel project in Mexico and the commencement of our exploration program at the Sleeper Mine in Nevada

At December 31, 2010, the Company had a net working capital, excluding the non-cash warrant liability, of $19 million. We anticipate our cash expenditures to be approximately $1.0 million per month to fund our exploration activities at our San Miguel and Nevada projects. We believe that our existing cash is adequate to meet our budgeted expenses in the short-term.

In the past, the Company has relied on equity financings as its source of cash. In June 2010, we received $3.1 million pursuant to the exercise of purchase warrants. In October 2009, we received net proceeds of approximately $21.7 million through an equity offering of our common stock. During the three month period ended December 31, 2010, the company received $1.365 million pursuant to the exercise of stock purchase warrants.

Although equity financings might be required in the future, the Company is exploring generating near-term cash flow through the reprocessing of its gold-bearing tailings and leach pad heaps located at its Sleeper Mine property in Nevada. Cash flow from operations would greatly reduce the need to source capital from equity financings which depending on market conditions might be hard to obtain or at terms unacceptable to the Company.

At December 31, 2010, the Company also had 8,540,000 “in-the-money” purchase warrants outstanding. Of the warrants outstanding, 7,700,000 are held by the Company’s largest shareholder FCMI Financial Corporation. If all the issued outstanding warrants were exercised, the Company’s cash balances would increase by approximately $8.9 million.

Index

At December 31, 2010, the accounts receivable amount of $2,110,067 primarily consisted of value added tax due from the Mexican government. This is an increase of $322,055 from September 30, 2010. We anticipate this amount to remain constant as the amount of funds received by the Mexican government are replaced with new value added tax returns that will result from our continued exploration program.

Results of Operations

Three and Six months Ended December 31, 2010 Compared to Three and Six Months Ended December 31, 2009

Revenues

As an exploratory mining company, we have not earned revenue from our operations since our inception. The majority of our income is derived from interest earned on our cash holdings. During the period ended December 31, 2010 the Company recorded a gain of $154,590 from the disposition of marketable securities held for sale. We invest our excess cash in short-term Guaranteed Investment Certificates that range from 30 to 90 day terms. For the three month period ending December 31, 2010, the Company earned $25,416 compared to $66,309 in interest income for the same period a year earlier.

Costs and Expenses

Exploration expenses were $1,910,603 and $3,712,858 for the three and six month period ended December 31, 2010 compared to $$1,538,070 and $2,616,569 for the three and six month period ended December 31, 2009. Our level of expenditures has increased as we continue with our exploration program at out San Miguel project in Mexico and as we begin and expand our program at the Sleeper mine in Nevada. Expenses incurred include geology, drilling, lab analysis, site access, license and permitting. Each project site had two drill rigs operating during the quarter. During the three month period ended December 31, 2010, the Company drilled 16 holes with a cumulative total of 18,576 feet (5,662 meters) at its San Miguel project and 11 holes with a cumulative total of 10,704 feet (3,263 meters) at its Nevada project. For the six month period ended December 31, 2010, a total of 60 holes have been drilled with a cumulative length of 54,870 feet (16,724 meters). Since inception, we have incurred exploration costs totaling $27,452,049.

Our general and administration expenses which include professional fees, corporate communications, consulting fees and office and administration totaled $836,173 for the three month period ended December 31, 2010. This is a 110% increase over the comparable three month period ended December 31, 2009. The increase is due mainly to the stock based compensation expense recorded from the options granted and options that vested in the quarter of $272,700, the year-end bonus paid to the company’s CEO of $119,352 and the additional corporate expenses that resulted from the acquisition of X-Cal resources.

In the three month period ended December 31, 2010, we incurred minimal additional acquisition expenses related to our purchase of X-Cal Resources Ltd. which closed on August 23, 2010. For the six month period ended December 31, 2010, the expenses incurred include advisory, legal, termination benefits, restructuring and related integration costs. Although the total acquisition expenses incurred are similar to the comparable period in the prior fiscal year comparing the years is difficult due to the differing outcomes of the two separate and unrelated transactions. .

The increase in fair value in our warrant liability recorded in the three and six month period ended December 31, 2010 was $21,951,146 and $22,319,256 respectively. This adjustment was primarily due to the increase in our share price from $1.30 at June 30, 2010 to a share price of $3.99 at December 31, 2010.

Net Income (loss)

Our net loss before other items for the six month period ended December 31, 2010 was $6,298,376 compared to a loss of $5,124,380 in the previous year comparable period. We will continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future as we continue with our planned explorations programs at our Mexico and Nevada project locations.

Critical Accounting Policies

Management considers the following policies to be most critical in understanding the judgments that are involved in preparing the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the uncertainties that could impact the results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Our financial statements are affected by the accounting policies used and the estimates and assumptions made by management during their preparation. Management believes the Company’s critical accounting policies are those related to mineral property acquisition costs, exploration and development cost, stock based compensation, derivative accounting and foreign currency translation.

Estimates

The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements and notes in conformity to U.S. GAAP and requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates these estimates, including those related to allowances for doubtful accounts receivable and long-lived assets. Management bases these estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Mineral property acquisition costs

The Company capitalizes the cost of acquiring mineral properties and will amortize these costs over the useful life of a property following the commencement of production or expensed if it is determined that the mineral property has no future economic value or the properties are sold or abandoned. Costs includes cash consideration and the fair market value of shares issued on the acquisition of mineral properties. Properties acquired under option agreements, whereby payments are made at the sole discretion of the Company, are recorded in the accounts of the specific mineral property at the time the payments are made.

The amounts recorded as mineral properties reflect actual costs incurred to acquire the properties and do not indicate any present or future value of economically recoverable reserves.

Exploration expenses

The company records exploration expenses as incurred. When it is determined that precious metal resource deposit can be economically and legally extracted or produced based on established proven and probable reserves, further exploration expenses related to such reserves incurred after such a determination will be capitalized. To date the Company has not established any proven or probable reserves and will continue to expense exploration expenses as incurred.

Derivatives

The Company has adopted the amended provisions of ASC 815 on determining what types of instruments or embedded features in an instrument held by a reporting entity can be considered indexed to its own stock. The Company has issued stock purchase warrants with exercise prices denominated in a currency other than its functional currency of U.S. dollars. As a result, these warrants are no longer considered indexed to our stock and must be accounted for as a derivative.

Warrants that are issued with exercise prices other than the Company’s functional currency of the U.S. dollar are accounted for as liabilities. The fair value of the outstanding warrants liabilities is determined at each reporting date with any change to the liability from a previous period recorded in the Statement of Operations. We record changes in fair value of the warrant liabilities as a component of other income and expense as we believe the amounts recorded relate to financing activities and not as a result of our operations. If a stock purchase warrant is exercised the Company is only obligated to issue shares in its common stock.

Index

If the Company were to issue stock purchase warrants with exercise prices in its functional currency, the warrants would be considered indexed to our stock and the fair value at date of issue recorded as equity. There would be no requirement under U.S. GAAP to report changes in its fair value from period to period.

Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. Transactions involving foreign currencies for items included in operations are translated into U.S. dollars using the monthly average exchange rate and monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate prevailing at the consolidated balance sheet date and all other consolidated balance sheet items are translated at historical rates applicable to the transactions that comprise the amounts. Translation gains and losses are included in the determination of other comprehensive loss and gains in the Statement of Operations.

Reclassification

Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the current quarter presentation.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We are not currently a party to, or otherwise involved with, any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, or capital resources.

Disclosure of Contractual Disclosures

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

The Company’s market risk profile has not changed significantly from its year ended June 30, 2010.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

The Company holds cash balances in both U.S. and Canadian dollars. We transact most of our business in US and Canadian dollars. Some of our expenses, including labor and operating supplies are denominated in Mexican Pesos. As a result, currency exchange fluctuations may impact our operating costs. We do not manage our foreign currency exchange rate risk through the use of financial or derivative instruments, forward contracts or hedging activities.

In general, the strengthening of the U.S. dollar or Canadian dollar will positively impact our expenses transacted in Mexican Pesos. Conversely, any weakening of the U.S dollar or Canadian dollar will increase our expenses transacted in Mexican Pesos. We do not believe that any weakening of the U.S. or Canadian dollar as compared to the Mexican peso will have an adverse material affect on our operations.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company’s investment policy for its cash and cash equivalents is focused on the preservation of capital and supporting the liquidity requirements of the Company. The Company’s interest earned on its cash balances is impacted on the fluctuations of U.S. and Canadian interest rates. We do not use interest rate derivative instruments to manage exposure to interest rate changes. We do not believe that interest rate fluctuations will have any effect on our operations.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) and determined that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The evaluation considered the procedures designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and communicated to our management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b)

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(d) and 13d-15(d) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

(c)

Inherent Limitations of Disclosure Controls and Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

Because of its inherent limitations, internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation or effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
