COMSTOCK MINING, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2010 and 2009

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

COMSTOCK MINING, Inc. is a North American precious metals mining company, focused on a Comstock Mine Project in Nevada, with extensive, contiguous property in the Comstock Lode Mining District. The Comstock Mine Project is located in Storey County, Nevada, approximately 3 miles south of Virginia City and 30 miles southeast of Reno, Nevada. Access to the property is by State Route 342, a paved highway. The Comstock District is located within the western portion of the Basin and Range Province of Nevada, between Reno and Carson City. The majority of our activities occur in three major structural zones: (1) the northeast striking, (2) the east dipping Comstock and Occidental fault zones and (3) the northwest striking, east dipping Silver City fault zone.

On July 21, 2010, we changed our name from “GoldSpring, Inc.” to “Comstock Mining Inc.,” by way of a merger with a wholly owned subsidiary Comstock Mining Inc. that was formed solely for the purpose of changing our name. Pursuant to Section 92A.180 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, the merger did not require stockholder approval. An OTC Equity Issuer Notification Form was filed with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) on July 9, 2010, and the name change was approved by FINRA, effective July 21, 2010. On the effective date, the name changed with the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board and the Company’s shares of common stock began trading under the ticker symbol “LODE.”

Our Company began acquiring properties in the Comstock in 2003. Since then, we have secured permits, built an infrastructure and brought the exploration project into test mining production. We began further consolidating the Comstock Lode in 2005, by acquiring additional properties in the district, expanding our footprint and creating opportunities for exploration and mining. Because of the Comstock District’s historic significance during the American Civil War and its world- class bonanza precious metal grades, the geology is well known and has been studied in detail by our Company and many independent researchers. We have amassed the largest know library of historical data and detailed surface mapping and, in conjunction with drilling programs designed for expanding the known historical data base, we have invested in our understanding of the Comstock’s broader geological footprint.

Our Company now owns or controls approximately 5,900 acres of active lode mining claims in the Comstock Lode Mining District. The acreage is comprised of 890 acres of patented claims (private lands) and 5,000 acres of unpatented claims, Bureau of Land Management (BLM) administered. The project includes a heap leach processing facility, which will be redesigned and constructed to accommodate our new production plans.

Note 2 — Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six month period ended June 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2010. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2010 the working capital deficiency from operations was $3,665,351. The Shareholders’ deficit at June 30, 2010, totaled $32,752,821.

Note 3 — Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America that contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has year-end losses from operations and had no revenues from operations during the six months ended June 30, 2010. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company incurred a net loss of $6,552,806. Further, the Company has inadequate working capital to maintain or develop its operations, and is dependent upon funds from its lenders and the support of certain stakeholders.

These factors 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 these uncertainties. In this regard, management is proposing to raise any necessary additional funds through the sale of its common stock, other equity or equity-linked instruments. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising additional equity capital especially given the current global economic conditions.

Summarized below are the significant accounting policies of Comstock Mining, Inc.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries: GoldSpring, LLC, Ecovat Copper Nevada, LLC, The Plum Mining Company, LLC, and the Plum Mine Special Purpose Company LLC. All material inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

We consider all highly liquid debt securities purchased with original or remaining maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The carrying value of cash equivalents approximates fair value.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate fair market value because of the short maturity of those instruments. Furthermore, convertible debenture, other notes obligations, and long-term debt and other liabilities payable amounts approximate fair value at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

Credit Risk

It is our practice to place our cash equivalents in high-quality money market securities with a major banking institution. Certain amounts of such funds in excess of limits are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. However, we consider our credit risk associated with cash and cash equivalents to be minimal.

Impairment of Long Lived Assets and Long Lived Assets to be Disposed Of

The Company accounts for impairment and disposal of long-lived assets in accordance with ASC 360 Property, Plant, and Equipment. ASC 360 establishes the accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale and applies to all long-lived assets, including discontinued operations. This standard requires those long-lived assets be measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell, whether reported in continuing operations or discontinued operations.

We implemented ASC 360 in our evaluation of the fair value of certain assets described in Notes 5 and 6.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the provisions of ASC 605 Revenue, which states that revenue is realized or realizable and earned when all of the following four criteria are met:

Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists,

Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered,

The seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and

Collectability is reasonably assured.

Specifically, when we are in operational status, sales of gold and silver Dore are recorded when we issue a sell order instructions to our refiner, Johnson Matthey, to sell a specified quantity of metals. Sales orders are typically executed within 48 hours of receipt. Upon receipt of the sale order, Johnson-Matthey confirms quantities available and executes the sale at the current market price of the metals on the day and time of the sales order. We record revenues on the day the sales order is issued based on the confirmed quantity of metal at the confirmed market price. Proceeds from the sale of metals are typically wired to our bank within twenty-four hours.

Stock Issued For Services

We base the value of stock issued for services on the market value of our common stock at the date of issue and our estimate of the fair value of the services received.

Plant and Equipment

We state plant and equipment at cost. We provide depreciation and amortization in amounts sufficient to recognize the expense of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated service lives.

We capitalize expenditures for renewals and improvements that significantly extend the useful life of an asset. We charge expenditures for maintenance and repairs to operations when incurred. When assets are sold or retired, the cost of the asset and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is recognized at such time. We use the straight-line method of depreciation for financial reporting purposes, depreciating assets over useful lives ranging from 3 to 15 years.

We review the carrying value of our plant and equipment assets on a quarterly basis. Where information and conditions suggest impairment, we write-down these assets to net recoverable amount, based on estimated future cash flows that may be attained from them.

Mineral Rights

We defer acquisition costs until we determine the viability of the property. Since we do not have proven and probable reserves as defined by SEC Industry Guide 7, exploration expenditures are expensed as incurred.

We expense holding costs to maintain a property on a care and maintenance basis as incurred.

We review the carrying value of our interest in each mineral claim on a quarterly basis to determine whether impairment has incurred in accordance with ASC 360 (formerly SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.”)

Where information and conditions suggest impairment, we write-down these properties to net recoverable amount, based on estimated future cash flows. Our estimate of gold price, mineralized materials, operating capital, and reclamation costs are subject to risks and uncertainties affecting the recoverability of our investment in property, plant, and equipment. Although we have made our best estimate of these factors based on current conditions, it is possible that changes could occur in the near term that could adversely affect our estimate of net cash flows expected to be generated from our operating properties and the need for possible asset impairment write-downs.

Where estimates of future net operating cash flows are not available and where other conditions suggest impairment, we assess if carrying value can be recovered from net cash flows generated by the sale of the asset or other means.

Reclamation Liabilities and Asset Retirement Obligations

Minimum standards for site reclamation and closure have been established by various government agencies that affect certain of our operations. We calculate our estimates of reclamation liability based on current laws and regulations and the expected undiscounted future cash flows to be incurred in reclaiming, restoring, and closing our operating mine sites. When we incur reclamation liabilities that are not related to asset retirements we recognize the obligations in accordance with ASC 410-30 (formerly SOP No. 96-1).

The Company accounts for its reclamation liabilities and asset retirement obligations in accordance with ASC 410 Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations (ASC 410). ASC 410 requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred. ASC 410 requires us to record a liability for the present value of our estimated environmental remediation costs and the related asset created with it when a recoverable asset (long-lived asset) can be realized.

Stock Based Compensation

The Company accounts for share based compensation in accordance with ASC 718 Compensation – Stock Compensation. Accordingly, the Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of the award and recognizes cost over the requisite service period.

Earnings Per Common Share

In calculating earnings per common share, we compute basic earnings per share by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, excluding the dilutive effects of common stock equivalents. For the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, we had net losses for which the effect of common stock equivalents would be anti-dilutive. Accordingly only basic loss per share is presented.

Use of Estimates

In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenditures during the reported periods. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Estimates may include those pertaining to the estimated useful lives of property and equipment and software, determining the estimated net realizable value of receivables, and the realization of deferred tax assets.

Risks and Uncertainties

We regularly evaluate risks and uncertainties and, when probable that a loss or expense will be incurred, record a charge to current period operations.

Income Taxes

We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the condensed consolidated financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities (using the applicable enacted tax rates and laws). We provide a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for which we do not consider realization of such assets to be likely.

ACCOUNTING STANDARDS UPDATES (ASU’s)

We do not expected any significant impact on our Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations from other ASU’s issued but not effective until after June 30, 2010,

Note 4 — Mineral Rights

Mineral rights at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 consisted of the following:

	June30, 2010		December 31, 2009
Comstock Placer Claims	$	100,000	$	100,000

In January 2010, we sold a 0.61% net smelter royalty on our Obester Property for $550,000 to Precious Royalties, LLC, resulting in a gain of $300,000. Accordingly, we adjusted our mining claim values to reflect the impact of the net smelter royalty.

During the six month period ended June 30, 2010, we determined the Big Mike copper project in Northern Nevada to be impaired and to have no fair value. In accordance with ASC 360, we recorded an impairment expense of $69,138, which is included in the depreciation, depletion and amortization expense on the Statement of Operations.

Note 5 — Property and Equipment, net

Plant and equipment at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, consisted of the following:

During the six month period ended June 30, 2010, we purchased additional equipment totaling $24,105. The property and equipment additions include $10,000 for processing equipment, $12,000 for a used pickup truck and $2,105 for computers.

Depreciation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $43,903 and $42,454, respectively. We use the straight-line method of depreciation for financial reporting purposes, depreciating buildings over 15 years and other assets over useful lives ranging from 3 to 10 years.

Note 6 – Reclamation Bond Deposit

We are generally required to mitigate long-term environmental impacts by stabilizing, contouring, re-sloping, and re-vegetating various portions of a site after mining and mineral processing operations are completed. These reclamation efforts are conducted in accordance with detailed plans, which must be reviewed and approved by the appropriate regulatory agencies.

The Nevada Revised Statutes and regulations promulgated thereunder by the Nevada State Environmental Commission and the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Mining and Reclamation require a bond to be posted for mining projects to assure we will leave the site safe, stable and capable of providing for a productive post-mining land use. Pursuant to the approved Reclamation Plans we secured a $1,106,882 mine reclamation financial assurance instrument through the Nevada Division of Minerals' Bond Pool Program. As required by the bond pool program, a cash deposit of $766,768 was made.

Note 7 — Long-term Reclamation Liability and Deferred Reclamation Expense

We have an accrued long-term liability of $1,227,778 and $1,186,966 as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 respectively, with regard to our obligations to reclaim our Comstock Mine facility based on our reclamation plan submitted and approved by the Nevada State Environmental Commission and Division of Environmental Protection. In conjunction with recording the reclamation liability we recorded a deferred reclamation expense of which the value is being amortized over the period of the anticipated land disturbance. Costs of future expenditures for environmental remediation are discounted to their present value. Such costs are based on management’s current estimate of amounts expected to be incurred when the remediation work is performed within current laws and regulations. It is reasonably possible that, due to uncertainties associated with the application of laws and regulations by regulatory authorities and changes in reclamation or remediation technology, the ultimate cost of reclamation and remediation could change in the future. We periodically review accrued liabilities for such reclamation and remediation costs as evidence becomes available indicating that our liabilities have potentially changed. The reclamation liability accretion expense and the amortization of defined reclamation expense for the six month period ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were $40,812 and $34,016 respectively.

Following is a reconciliation of the aggregate retirement liability associated with our reclamation plan for our Comstock Project:

Convertible Debentures Payable – Investors

During March 2004, we completed a private placement of securities transaction (the “March Offering”), which generated $10 million in gross proceeds from a group of accredited institutional and individual investors. On November 30, 2004, we restructured the March Offering and entered into a new agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) whereby we exchanged 108,696 shares of common stock and 108,696 warrants issued for 8% convertible notes, with the following terms;

Convertible
Loan Amount:		$11.1 million, which includes the initial $10 million investment and approximately $1.1 million in accrued penalties resulting from the delay in the registration of common stock held by investors. Since initial funding, approximately $10 million has been paid leaving a balance of $1,105,908.

Interest Rate:		15%, payable in arrears in cash or stock at the lender’s option

Conversion:		The conversion price is equal to the lesser of: (i) eighty-five percent (85%) of the average of the five (5) lowest closing bid prices of the common stock as reported by Bloomberg L.P. for the twenty (20) trading days preceding the date the Company was obligated to pay the debenture; or (ii) eighty-five percent (85%) of the average of the five (5) lowest closing bid prices of the common stock as reported by Bloomberg L.P. for the twenty (20) trading days preceding the date of any such conversion. In no event shall the conversion price be higher than $.2.00,.

Term:		Note is currently due and in default.

As a result of the Company completing other financing arrangements at a lower conversion price, the reset provision clause was triggered and established a new fixed maximum conversion rate of $2.00 in February 2008.

Convertible Debentures Payable – Mandatory Redemption Payment

John V. Winfield, a major shareholder and note holder, and his affiliates elected to convert approximately $3.3 million of their convertible debentures under the November 30, 2004 Subscription Agreement into common stock. In March 2005, because we did not deliver the share certificates within the period required in the November 30, 2004 subscription agreement, Winfield and his affiliates (“Winfield Group”) elected to demand payment of approximately $6.9 million pursuant to the mandatory redemption payment provisions of the November 30, 2004 subscription agreement and consequently forfeited his right to receive shares in lieu of payment.

The Company did not have sufficient funds to meet this obligation. On March 31, 2005, the Winfield Group entered into a Settlement Agreement with the Company whereby he agreed to convert the $6.9 million obligation into Convertible Debentures (“the Debentures”).

The terms of the Debentures are noted below:

Convertible
Loan Amount:		$6.9 million, of which approximately $2.5 million has been paid since initial funding leaving a remaining balance of $4,412,058.

Interest Rate:		18%, payable in arrears in cash or stock at the lender’s option

Payments:		Monthly installments of principal and interest over a 24 month period with the remaining entire balance of unpaid principal and interest due on March 31, 2007.

Conversion:		The Debentures are convertible, in all or in part, into shares of our common stock (“Conversion Shares”) at any time. The conversion price is equal to the lesser of: (i) eighty-five percent (85%) of the average of the five (5) lowest closing bid prices of the common stock as reported by Bloomberg L.P. for the twenty (20) trading days preceding the date the Company was obligated to pay the mandatory redemption Payment; or (ii) eighty-five percent (85%) of the average of the five (5) lowest closing bid prices of the common stock as reported by Bloomberg L.P. for the twenty (20) trading days preceding the date of any such conversion. In no event shall the conversion price be higher than $2.00.

Term:		Note is currently due and in default.

Security interest:		Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, the Debentures are granted a priority collateralized position, second only to our note payable to the Brockbank Trust in substantially all of our assets.

Convertible Notes Payable – 2006 & 2007

The convertible notes payable as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 were as follows:

Loan Amount:		$2,170,000

Interest Rate:		18%, payable in arrears in cash or stock at the lender’s option

Conversion:		The principal amount of the Note and interest is convertible into GoldSpring Common Stock at eighty-five percent (85%) of the average of the five (5) lowest closing bid prices of the Common Stock as reported by Bloomberg L.P. for the twenty (20) trading days.

Term:		Note is currently due and in default

Warrants:		This Warrant shall be exercisable for such number of Warrant Shares as equals two percent (2%) of the Common Stock Deemed Outstanding on the date(s) of exercise multiplied by a quotient equal to the Face Amount set forth above (or any portion thereof) divided by 1,800,000.

Security:		Secured by a lien on the assets of Comstock Mining, Inc. and a pledge of all of the interests in Plum Mine Special Purpose, LLC, which owns the Plum Mine operation.

In February 2008, as a result of the Company completing other financing arrangements at a lower conversion price, the reset provision clause was triggered and established a new fixed maximum conversion rate of $2.00.

Convertible Notes Payable: June – November 2008

In June 2008, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement with Winfield Group pursuant to which Winfield Group agreed to loan the Company $2,500,000 no later than December 31, 2008 through issuance of a series of secured notes (“Notes”). In each month, during the five months ended December 2008, Winfield Group lent the Company $500,000 pursuant to this Loan Agreement. These notes have been in default since late 2008 because we failed to make any monthly payment on the notes. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Loan Agreement, the notes become immediately payable upon default and thus the note balance has been recorded as a current liability.

The terms of the agreement are as follows:

Convertible Loan Amount:		$2,500,000

Interest Rate:		9%, payable in arrears in cash or stock at the lender’s option

Conversion:		The principal amount of the Note and interest is convertible into Comstock Mining Common Stock at the lesser of (A) $3.00 per share, or (B) .85 multiplied by the “Volume Weighted Average Price” for the Borrower’s Common Stock for the five trading days immediately prior to the Conversion Date.

Term:		Three Years

Security:		Security interest in all of the Company’s assets, pari passu with the existing security interests

On December 22, 2008, as a result of the Company completing other financing arrangements at a lower conversion price, the reset provision clause was triggered and established a new fixed maximum conversion rate of $2.00.

On December 8, 2008, we completed a financing transaction with Winfield Group which provided us with $500,000 in funding.

The Company has the following promissory notes payable as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009:

	6/30/10		12/31/09
Promissory Notes Payable-July 2005 Financing	$	1,200,000	$	1,200,000

Promissory Notes Payable-January 2008 Financing		600,000		600,000
	$	2,400,000	$	2,400,000

Promissory Notes Payable - July 2005 Financing

In July of 2005, we borrowed $1.2 million from companies controlled by the Winfield Group. Proceeds from the notes were reduced by a 33.3% original issue discount and other origination fees. Net proceeds received by the Company from the borrowing were $740,000. The notes accrued interest at 17% per annum and were payable in monthly installments of principal and interest over a 24 month period with the remaining entire balance of unpaid principal and interest was due on July 15, 2007. The notes are collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets subject to the security interest of the Brockbank Trust. We failed to make any payments on the notes; hence, they are in default and the original issue discount is fully amortized.

Promissory Notes Payable – December 2007 Financing

In December 2007, we completed a financing transaction with the Winfield Group which provided us with $500,000 in funding. In consideration for the financing, we issued promissory notes with a face value of $600,000, reflecting an original discount of sixteen and seventeen hundreds (16.17%) percent. The notes evidencing the loan bear interest at the rate of 18% per annum, payable on or prior to the one year anniversary of the respective loan date. We failed to make any payments on the notes; hence, they are in default and the original issue discount is fully amortized.

Promissory Notes Payable – January 2008 Financing

On January 31, 2008, we completed a financing transaction with the Winfield Group which provided us with $500,000 in funding. In consideration for the financing, we issued promissory notes with a face value of $600,000, reflecting an original discount of sixteen and seventeen hundreds (16.17%) percent. The notes evidencing the loan bear interest at the rate of 18% per annum, payable on or prior to the one year anniversary of the respective loan date. We failed to make any payments on the notes; hence, they are in default and the original issue discount is fully amortized.

Debt – Note (Plum Mine)

We have a 5% bearing note payable note related to our purchase of the Plum Mining property. The note was payable on June 2006 and we are in default on this note. As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we still had a $250,000 note balance due. There is a first security interest on the assets of Plum Mining Property for this note.

Debt - Note (Obester Property)

In December 2009, we completed the acquisition of mineral properties, which we had been leasing, from Claire Obester, Jim Obester, Alan Obester, and Julian Smith (“sellers”) for $1,650,000 plus a 1% royalty. Pursuant to the purchase agreement, we made initial payments of $250,000 and we issued a note to the “sellers” for $1,400,000. The note bears interest of six percent (6%) per annum. Interest and principal payments shall be made in quarterly installments of $250,000 with the first payment due on or before April 1, 2010 and continuing on the first day of each quarter, until July 1, 2011, when the then unpaid principal and accrued interest is due and payable.

Debt – Note (Obester Property) at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009:

Debt - Note (Petrini Property)

On February 17, 2009 we purchased 4.79 acres in the Comstock District for $130,000. We paid $40,000 in cash and financed the balance of $90,000 through a first deed of trust. The note is interest only for two years and bears interest at 16% per annum. We have made our scheduled interest payments to date. The note is due and payable on February 17, 2011.

Note 10 - Debt Concentration

The Winfield Group is the largest lender to the Company. At June 30, 2010, we had approximately $23.0 million of outstanding note principal of which $15.1 million or 66% was held by the Winfield Group. In addition to the $15.1 principal owed to the Winfield Group, $5.3 million of unpaid interest was also due. Had the Winfield Group converted all of its convertible principal and interest of $15.7 million into our common stock at June 30, 2010, we would have been obligated to issue the Winfield Group 11.7 million of our common shares representing 38.2% of our then outstanding common shares. The amounts listed below have been reflected in the schedules presented in Note 8 and Note 9.

Note 11 – Financial Instruments and Derivatives

The Company issues various note instruments with various terms but they are typically convertible into the Company’s common stock and issued with detachable warrants. The following sections discuss in general those conversion features and warrants.

Conversion Features

The terms of the conversion feature of our debt instruments will differ between specific notes but their typical terms contain the following characteristics. Specific terms for each note are discussed in Notes 8 – 10 as appropriate.

The conversion feature is an embedded beneficial conversion feature, whereby debt is convertible into Comstock Mining’s common stock at approximately the lesser of (a) a fixed price or (b)85% of market price (based on a “lookback” formula),

The embedded beneficial conversion feature is immediately exercisable,

Exercising the embedded beneficial conversion feature is not contingent on a future event,

Exercising the embedded beneficial conversion feature may be converted into cash or stock at the discretion of the issuer (Comstock Mining),

The variable component of the conversion price is a fixed discount, there is no stated price floor or shares issued to cap to the potential number of shares that can be converted to satisfy the conversion feature

Although such conversion features are typically considered equity instruments, because the conversion feature has a component which is a fixed discount from our traded stock price without a limit to the number of shares that may be issued, the Company cannot be assured that it has sufficient authorized shares to execute the conversion if presented. Accordingly, the Company is not “in control” of the conversion and recognition of the value of the conversion feature is deemed a derivative liability for financial reporting purposes under the guidance offered in ASC 815. As liabilities related to financial instruments, we therefore apply fair value measurement to each conversion feature liability at each reporting period. See Note 12 for a discussion of fair value measurement.

Warrants

The terms of the warrants attached to our debt instruments will differ between specific notes but their typical terms contain the following characteristics. Specific terms for each note are discussed in Notes 8 – 10 as appropriate.

Detachable warrants are included with the debt offering, as debt “sweetener,” that generally provide for conversion at a fixed price,

There is no active trading market for our warrants

Comstock Mining may lack sufficient authorized shares to satisfy all conversion options if presented.

Although such warrants are typically considered equity instruments, because the Company cannot be assured that it has sufficient authorized shares to execute the conversion if presented. Accordingly, the Company is not “in control” of the conversion and recognition of the value of the conversion feature is deemed a liability for financial reporting purposes under the guidance offered in ASC 815. In addition, the guidance offered in ASC 815, indicates that “if share settlement is not within the control of the Company an asset or liability classification is required.” Consequently, we classified our warrants as liabilities and began to measure them at fair value in each subsequent reporting period. See Note 12 for a discussion of fair value measurement.

A summary of the embedded conversion option liability and warrant liability is as follows:

	Embedded Conversion Option Liability			Warrant Liability		Total

Beginning balance Dec. 31, 2008	$	5,088,333		$	280,000	$	5,368,333

Initial issuance note liability of new convertible notes and warrants		1,214,469			746,832		1,961,301

Liability at June 30, 2010		4,730,090		$	2,865,120	$	7,595,210

Note 12 – Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and in principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability. The fair value should be calculated based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, not on assumptions specific to the entity. In addition, the fair value of liabilities should include consideration of non-performance risk, including the Company’s own credit risk.

In addition to defining fair value, ASC 820 expands the disclosure requirements around fair value and establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. Each fair value measurement is reported in one of three levels, which is determined by the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. These levels are:

Level 1 – inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

Level 2 – inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 – inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques that include option pricing models, discontinued cash flow models, and similar techniques.

The following describes the valuation methodologies the Company uses to measure financial assets and liabilities at fair value.

Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The following table presents our liabilities at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

			Fair Value Measurements at June 30, 2010
	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3

Liabilities:
Convertible features and warrants	$	7,595,210	$	—	$	—	$	7,595,210
Total Liabilities	$	7,592,210	$	—	$	—	$	7,592,210

Total Liabilities	$	4,500,189	$	—	$	—	$	4,500,189

As discussed in Note 11, the conversion feature liability represents the derivative component on convertible notes proceeds associated with the fair value of the embedded conversion features of our notes. Warrant liabilities represent detachable warrants issued in association with various notes payable.

The fair values for the conversion feature and warrant liabilities included in Level 3 are estimated using industry standard valuation models, such as the Black-Scholes-Merton model. Level 3 derivative liabilities primarily include certain over-the-counter options.

Gains (losses) from changes in fair values of the conversion feature and warrant liabilities that are not designated as hedges are recognized in other income (expense). The amounts recognized during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2010 and the year ended December 31, 2009 are as follows:

	Liabilities

Note 14 - Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net loss, after deducting preferred stock dividends accumulated during the period, by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income, after deducting preferred stock dividends accumulated during the period, by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and dilutive common stock equivalent shares outstanding. For the month period ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009, there were approximately 25.2 million and 9.0 million, respectively, of common stock equivalent shares excluded from the dilutive earnings per share calculation because they were anti-dilutive. The following is a reconciliation of the number of shares used in the basic and diluted computation of net income per share (in millions):

	For the six Months Ended June 30 (in Thousands)
	2010		2009
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding – basic		18,775		17,383
Dilution from convertible debt, stock options and warrants		25,204		8,970
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding – diluted		43,979		26,353

In January 2010, a consultant was issued twenty-five thousand (25,000) shares valued at $34,000 or $1.36 per share, for services.

Note 16 – Subsequent Events – Land Purchases and Exploration Licenses

On July 1, 2010, the Company obtained an exclusive 180-day exploration license with option to purchase four patented lode claims totaling 95 acres known as the Dayton property. This property is contiguous with the Company’s Spring Valley Dondero holdings. Under the purchase option, the price for the property is $3,000,000 plus a 3% Net Smelter Return (NSR). The Company will receive credit for the full purchase price through a reduction in the NSR by 75% until such time as the full $3,000,000 purchase price has been credited back. The purchase price will be paid through an initial payment of $500,000, with the balance payable in 20 equal, quarterly installments of $125,000, with no interest.

On July 20, 2010, we acquired seven patented mining claims totaling 48 acres, surface rights to two additional patented mining claims totaling 15 acres, 12 unpatented lode claims, and 15 acre-feet of water rights, all located in Storey County, Nevada. The purchase price was $1,025,000, with an initial payment of $300,000. We financed the remaining $725,000 with an installment note bearing 6% interest, requiring 60 monthly payments of $6,178 and a final payment of then-unpaid principal and interest. The former owners of the parcel will retain a 1.5% Net Smelter Royalty (NSR) on all future mineral production from these claims.

On July 21, 2010, the Company obtained an exclusive 180-day option to acquire one patented lode claim and two unpatented lode claims, adjoining and consolidating the Dayton property as shown on the attached map. The agreement allows the Company to acquire these mineral claims for $100,000 plus a 2% NSR at any time during the option period.

Note 17 – Subsequent Event – Name and Trading Symbol Change

On July 21, 2010, we changed our name from “GoldSpring, Inc.” to “Comstock Mining Inc.,” by way of a merger with a wholly owned subsidiary Comstock Mining Inc., which was formed solely for the purpose of changing our name. Pursuant to Section 92A.180 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, the merger did not require stockholder approval. An OTC Equity Issuer Notification Form was filed with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) on July 9, 2010, and the name change was approved by FINRA, effective July 21, 2010. On the effective date, the name changed with the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board and the Company’s shares of common stock began trading under the ticker symbol “LODE.”

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations

The following discussion provides information that we believe is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the consolidated results of operations and financial condition of our company. It should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes also included in this 10-Q and our Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009.

The following discussion addresses matters we consider important for an understanding of our financial condition and results of operations as of and for the three months ended June 30, 2010, as well as our future results.

Overview

Comstock Mining Inc., is a North American precious metals mining company, focused in Nevada, with extensive, contiguous property in the Comstock Lode District. The Company began acquiring properties in the Comstock in 2003. Since then, the Company has consolidated a substantial potion of the Comstock Lode District, secured permits, built an infrastructure and brought the exploration project into test mining production. We continue acquiring additional properties in the district, expanding our footprint and creating opportunities for exploration and mining. The goal of our strategic plan is to deliver stockholder value by validating qualified resources (measured and indicated) and reserves (probable and proven) of 3,250,000 gold equivalent ounces by 2013, and commencing commercial mining and processing operations by 2011, with annual production rates of 20,000 gold equivalent ounces.

The Lucerne Project is located in Storey County, Nevada, approximately 3 miles south of Virginia City and 30 miles southeast of Reno, Nevada. Access to the property is by State Route 342, a paved highway. The Comstock District is located within the western portion of the Basin and Range Province of Nevada, between Reno and Carson City. The majority of our activities occur in three major structural zones: (1) the northeast striking, (2) the east dipping Comstock and Occidental fault zones and (3) the northwest striking, east dipping Silver City fault zone.

Because of the Comstock District’s historic significance during the American Civil War and its world- class bonanza precious metal grades, the geology is well known and has been studied in detail by the Company and many independent researchers. We have amassed an unprecedented library of historical data and detailed surface mapping. In conjunction with current drilling programs designed for expanding the known historical data base, we have invested in our understanding of the Comstock’s broader geological footprint.

The Comstock Mine Project now consists of approximately 5,900 acres of active lode mining claims in the Comstock Lode Mining District. The acreage is comprised of 890 acres of patented claims (private lands) and 5,000 acres of unpatented claims, Bureau of Land Management (BLM) administered. The Project includes the Comstock Mine heap leach processing facility, which will be redesigned and constructed to accommodate our new production plans. In excess of 700 Reverse Circulation (RC) holes, drilled by the Company and our predecessors, have further defined our mine plan at the Lucerne and Billie the Kid open pits together with those along strike and down- dip. For our exploration and development campaigns, all drilling, surface and down-hole surveying, hole abandonment, geologic logging, sampling, and assays were performed to industry-recognized standards.

We produced 11,550 ounces of gold and 68,514 ounces of silver from 2004-2006, at our Comstock Lode test mining operation and existing heap leach processing facilities. Our test mining activities were suspended in 2007, and we began an exploration and drilling program to gather the detailed information to allow us to restart mining with a high degree of confidence.

Strategic Plan and Management Reorganization

The Board approved a strategic plan in April, 2010, designed to restructure and recapitalize the Company, accelerate mine development and production and continue exploration. The principal features of the plan encompass a recapitalization and balance sheet restructuring (which includes a now completed reverse stock split, a near complete debt-for-equity exchange, the securing of certain critical mineral rights and anticipates a new capital raise to fund gold mine operations, exploration and development) and an operational and management restructuring. The goal of the plan is to deliver stockholder value by validating qualified resources (at least measured and indicated) and reserves (probable and proven) of 3,250,000 gold equivalent ounces by 2013, and commencing commercial mining and processing operations by early 2011, respectively, with annual production rates of 20,000 gold equivalent ounces. Mr. De Gasperis, our Chief Executive Officer, will lead implementation of the plan.

The completion of the aforementioned steps will allow us to focus our capacity on raising new equity capital. In connection therewith, the Board has agreed to pursue listing of the common shares on an appropriate securities exchange in due course. The strategic plan has scheduled the exploration and development drilling intended to validate mine design and increased qualified resources and reserves in the latter half of 2010 through 2013, with two intermediate objectives of 1,000,000 gold equivalent ounces and 2,000,000 of gold equivalent ounces with the long term planned objective of 3,250,000 gold equivalent ounces. The plan has also scheduled the start of production operations in 2011, initially from using existing heap leach operating assets, and then scaling to an annual run rate of at least 20,000 gold equivalent ounces. The commencement of production in 2011 is dependent on the Company raising sufficient capital as part of its strategic plan.

Our Team

Overall, the Company, as part of its restructuring efforts, has reorganized its management and the professional services firm it cooperates with in an effort to improve governance, effectiveness and transparency in its operations. We believe we have exceptional geological, geo-statistical, engineering, regulatory, environmental, financial and operating competencies on our senior team. In addition, we have strengthened our system through agreements and relationships with our most critical trading partners.

In November, 2009, we retained Moelis & Company to serve as our exclusive financial advisor. Moelis & Company is a global investment bank that provides financial advisory services and capital raising solutions to a broad client base, through its offices in New York, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, London, and Sydney. We have access to the most senior bankers in their metals and mining practice and support from the firm’s leadership and we believe this relationship improves the likelihood of better financing our Company on more favorable terms.

In December, 2009, we engaged Behre Dolbear, a mining consulting firm based in Denver, Colorado, to review our mine model, and to produce a technical report compliant with the Canadian National Instrument (“NI”) 43-101 standard. The report was published on May 17, 2010. We continue working with Behre Dolbear, in an ongoing strategic relationship that focuses on continuously expanding our knowledge of our resource base and expanding our qualified resources and, ultimately, reserves. We anticipate publishing an updated NI 43-101 in early August.

In May, 2010, we retained Kelley Drye and Warren to serve as our legal advisor. Kelley Drye and Warren is an international law firm founded in 1836, providing legal services in over 30 practice areas, including Corporate Finance and Securities law. We have access to the most senior securities partners in the firm and believe this relationship supports our recapitalization efforts and current financing activities and best corporate governance practices.

Recapitalization

In December, 2009, we entered into a definitive agreement to obtain $4.5 million in new debt financing. This financing was provided through a consortium led by the Company’s lead stakeholder, who is an accredited investor. On June 21, the Company announced a definitive agreement to increase its December 2009 $4.5 million debt financing to $5.6 million. The additional $1.1 million was provided through a consortium, again led by the Company’s lead stakeholder and provides sufficient funding for the continuation of our operating plan, primarily for completing our global resource estimate and finalizing our metallurgical testing prerequisite for finalizing our mine and production plans, while we secure permanent financing through our planned new equity capital raise.

We are focused on concluding on the terms of a debt for equity exchange with our lenders and planning and scheduling the activities for raising new equity. The plan contemplates exchanging substantially all of our existing convertible debt obligations, other debt obligations and related accrued interest, which total approximately $29.2 million at June 30, 2010, for equity. The transaction anticipates that the Company will raise new equity capital in 2010, for funding operations and continued exploration. In addition to the aforementioned debt and related obligations, we have approximately $1.2 million in mortgage indebtedness which is not considered in the recapitalization and restructuring.

Summary of Principal and Interest
	At June 30, 2010
Note Descriptions	Principal			Unpaid Interest			Total

Convertible debentures (See Note 8)	$	20,348,246		$	4,134,630		$	24,482,876
Other debt obligations (See Note 9)		3,890,000			2,087,564			5,977,564
Total debt and related interest obligations at June 30, 2010		24,238,246			6,222,194			30,460,440

Less mortgage indebtedness		(1,240,000	)		(17,250	)		(1,257,250	)

Total principal and related interest excluding mortgage indebtedness at June 30, 2010	$	22,998,246		$	6,204,944		$	29,203,190

Total outstanding principal and interest as of July 31, 2010 was $31,184,498 of which $29,461,380 was total principal and interest excluding mortgage indebtedness.

There are also risks involved in the fact that one individual and his affiliates, as of June 30, 2010, beneficially own in excess of 40% of our voting stock. Pursuant to financing agreements, this convertible debt holder and his affiliates with a 61 day notice, can waive the 4.9% ownership restriction, allowing them to convert 100% of their convertible debt and related interest, which totals $15,726,660 at June 30, 2010, into shares of our common stock. In addition, if the proposed recapitalization and balance sheet restructuring plan is implemented, this individual and his affiliates would own a significant percentage of the Company’s common stock. This group, if the ownership restriction is waived and all convertible debt and related interest is converted into our common stock may take actions that could conflict with the interests of the other stockholders including the election of Company directors and approval of actions generally requiring the approval of the stockholders of our voting stock, including adopting amendments to our articles of incorporation and bylaws and approving mergers, certain acquisitions or sales of all or substantially all of our assets, which could delay or prevent a third party from acquiring or merging with the Company or limit the ability of the other remaining stockholders to approve transactions that they may deem to be in their best interests. The total Winfield Group outstanding principal and interest as of July 31, 2010 was $20,682,157. Total outstanding principal and interest as of July 31, 2010 was $31,184,498 of which $15,896,994 relates to the Winfield Group.

Our cash resources remain limited. Our continued existence and plans for mining production depend on our ability to obtain the capital necessary to operate, through the issuance of additional debt, royalty financing or equity or equity-linked instruments. If we are unable to raise additional working and/or permanent capital through outside financing, it is unlikely that our existing financing will be sufficient for the liquidity necessary for anticipated working capital requirements associated with existing exploration activities and plans for restarting production, including capital expenditure requirements, existing lease obligations and interest payments associated with our indebtedness.

Furthermore, it is unlikely that the cash generated, if any, from our internal operations will suffice as a primary source of the liquidity necessary for anticipated working capital requirements, capital expenditure requirements and interest payments associated with our lease obligations and indebtedness. There is no assurance that the Company’s initiatives to improve its liquidity and financial position will be successful. Accordingly, there is substantial risk that the Company will be unable to continue as a going concern. In the event of insolvency, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution or other winding up of the Company, the Company’s creditors would be entitled to payment in full out of the Company’s assets before stockholders would be entitled to any payment, and it is unlikely that the value of such assets would exceed the claims on such assets.

Early 2010 Developments

Our strategic plan calls for additional infill drilling and metallurgical testing prior to the resumption of mining. Two drilling programs began late in the first quarter 2010 and were complete in June. These drilling programs were managed by Larry Martin, CPG, our Chief Geologist.

The first program was a reverse circulation drilling program designed to provide additional information for a detailed mine design. It included 51 infill holes in the Lucerne area and the historic Hartford and Justice areas. The drilling consisted of two drilling rigs and crews supplied by George DeLong Construction, Inc., of Winnemucca, Nevada.

The second drilling program included drilling eight core holes, using a diamond drilling rig and crews supplied by KB Drilling, of Moundhouse, Nevada. The cores are being used for metallurgical testing required for final design of the processing flow design and for geotechnical testing to determine final slope stability calculations for the open pit walls.

The information from these drill programs are be used in the development of a detailed mine design for reopening the mine, fine-tune our mineral processing procedures to maximize gold and silver recovery and updating our global resource estimates. We continue to take all steps to resume production and we anticipate publishing our updated global resource report in August 2010.

The Company is currently preparing an application for a major modification to our Air Quality Permit and an application for a new Mercury Emissions Permit scheduled for completion in the second half of 2010, under the direction of Dennis Anderson, PE, our Senior Engineer. These permits, to be issued by the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection (NDEP), are required before mining and processing can begin.

In mid-2009, the Company was contacted by the United State Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regarding the selection of the Company’s Plum Mine to be audited under the EPA’s Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) program. The Company engaged Enviroscientists, Inc., to assist it in managing the EPA audit as well as the Company’s TRI reporting requirements. We have submitted all required reports for all periods under audit and believe the reporting for these periods are now in compliance. The audit may determine that the Company was not in compliance with the TRI requirements and, as a result, the EPA may take action against the Company, including the imposition of fines and penalties or other enforcement action, based on the results of the audit.

Additional activities planned for 2010:

A drilling program to evaluate what we have designated as the “northern extension” mineralization has been designed. This additional drilling will begin once the results from the first program of infill holes have been evaluated. Our strategic plan also calls for a program of exploration drilling on the 36 exploration targets already identified by our geologic team, throughout our extensive land holdings in the Comstock Lode district. Our geologic team will rank the targets so that we are leveraged for maximum success.

Land and Mineral Right Acquisitions

We will continue to increase our footprint in the Comstock Lode District through strategic acquisitions. We consider the historic Comstock Lode central to our growth strategy. We work collaboratively with Federal, State, and local regulatory agencies to ensure that we obtain all remaining permits needed to resume mining.

On April 2, 2010, we completed the acquisition of 11 patented lode mining claims in Storey and Lyon counties, which we had been leasing, from Claire Obester, Jim Obester, Alan Obester, and Julian Smith (“sellers”) for $1,650,000 plus a 1% royalty. Pursuant to the purchase agreement, we made initial payments of $250,000 and we issued a note to the “sellers” for $1,400,000. The note bears interest of six percent (6%) per annum. Interest and principal payments shall be made in quarterly installments of $250,000 with the first payment due on or before April 1, 2010 and continuing on the same day of each consecutive quarter, until July 1, 2011, when the then unpaid principal and accrued interest is due and payable.

On June 2, 2010, we entered into Mineral Exploration and Mining Lease agreement with New Daney Company, Inc. covering 7 unpatented lode claims. These claims are located Lyon County and are contiguous with the company’s Spring Valley mineral holdings.

On July 1, 2010, we acquired a purchase option to acquire 4 patented lode claims totaling 95 acres known as the “Dayton.” These mineral claims are contiguous with our Spring Valley mineral holdings and the property has known historic mineral resources. The purchase price is $3,000,000 plus a 3% NSR. In addition, the NSR will be reduced by 75% until the company receives credit through the reduction of NSR for the $3,000,000 purchase price. The agreement calls for a $500,000 upfront payment and the seller will finance $2,500,000 with a 0% interest seller’s note. The note will be payable in 20 equal quarterly installments of $125,000.

On July 20, 2010, we acquired seven patented mining claims totaling 48 acres, surface rights to two additional patented mining claims totaling 15 acres, 12 unpatented lode claims, and 15 acre-feet of water rights, all located in Storey County, Nevada. The purchase price was $1,025,000, with an initial payment of $300,000. We financed the remaining $725,000 with an installment note bearing 6% interest, requiring 60 monthly payments of $6,178 and a final payment of then-unpaid principal and interest. The former owners of the parcel will retain a 1.5% NSR on all future mineral production from these claims.

On August 1, 2010 we purchased an exclusive 180 day option to acquire one patented lode claim known as the Metropolitan and two unpatented lode claims. These claims adjoin the “Dayton” claims where we secured an option to acquire 4 patented lode claims on July 1, 2010. The agreement allows us to acquire theses mineral claims for $100,000 plus a 2% net smelter return at any point during the option period.

We will continue our program to catalog and digitize our library of historic mining maps and reports, so that our team can leverage the knowledge accumulated by over 150 years of mining experience in the Comstock Lode.

Comparative Financial Information

Below we set forth a summary of comparative financial information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.

Comparative Financial Information

Three Months Ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009:

	Quarter ended June 30, 2010			Quarter ended June 30, 2009			Difference
Revenue	$	—		$	—		$	—

Depletion and amortization		38,820			37,603			1,217

Reclamation, Exploration and Test Mining Expense		1,269,929			642,077			627,852

General and Administration		596,923			309,663			287,260

Consulting and Professional Service		234,543			75,000			159,543

Financing cost		82,333			83,500			(1,167	)

Derivative change in fair value		640,021			418,173			221,848

Other – Gain on sale		—			(25,000	)		(25,000	)

Interest Expense		1,060,930			821,051			239,879

Net Loss	$	(3,923,499	)		(2,362,067	)		1,561,432

We did not produce or sell any gold or silver at our Comstock project in Nevada during the three months ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009.

Reclamation, Exploration and Test Mining Expenses were $ 627,852 greater for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2009. The increase in expenses during 2010 reflects the commencement of our 2010 spring drill campaign and the suspension of drilling activities in mid first quarter 2009. We paused our drilling activity in the first quarter 2009 to allow our team to focus on quantifying the drill assay information from the December 2007 through January 2009 drill campaign.

The second calendar quarter 2010 General and Administrative expenses increased by $287,260 from the second calendar quarter 2009. This increase reflects the costs associated with the 2010 proxy for the reverse stock-split and the recognition of severance costs for our former Chief Operating Officer.

Consulting and professional expenses for the three month period ended June 30, 2010 were $234,543 compared to $75,000 for the three month ended June 30, 2009, amounting to $159,543 quarter over quarter increase. The increase in consulting and professional expenses reflects higher legal fees as a result of the 2010 proxy and legal fees associated with the capital and legal restructuring.

Derivative change in Fair Value increased in the second calendar quarter 2010 when compared to the same period in 2009 by $221,848. This negative variance reflects the year over year fair value calculation change for beneficial features (embedded derivatives) and detachable instrument (warrants) contained in various notes at each of the reporting periods.

Interest expense for the three month period ended June 30, 2010 increased by $239,879 when compared to the same fiscal quarter in 2009. This variance reflects the issuance of additional interest bearing notes plus $120,439 of debt discount amortization.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009:

	Six months ended June 30, 2010			Six months ended June 30, 2009			Difference
Revenue	$	—		$	—		$	—

Depletion and amortization		147,056			76,469			70,587

Reclamation, Exploration and Test Mining Expense		1,761,253			2,092,393			(331,140	)

General and Administration		952,347			692,217			260,130

Consulting and Professional Service		383,849			145,406			238,443

Financing cost		169,247			83,500			85,747

Derivative change in fair value		1,518,477			1,745,035			(226,558	)

Other – Gain on sale		(300,000	)		(25,000	)		(275,000	)

Interest Expense		1,920,577			1,602,151			318,426

Net Loss	$	(6,552,806	)		(6,412,171	)		140,635

We did not produce or sell any gold or silver during the two six moth periods shown at our Comstock project in Nevada.

Reclamation, Exploration and Test Mining Expenses were $ 331,140 less for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009. This variance reflects the change in drilling activity in 2010 versus 2009.

General and administrative expenses increased by $260,130 in the second quarter of 2010 from the second quarter 2009. This increase reflects the costs associated with the reverse stock-split proxy process and the recognition of severance costs for our former Chief Operating Officer.

Consulting and professional expenses for the six month period ended June 30, 2010 were $383,849 compared to $145,406 for the six month ended June 30, 2009, amounting to $238,443 quarter over quarter increase. The increase in consulting and professional expenses reflects the engagement of Symmetry Advisors for strategic planning and scheduling plus higher legal fees associated with affecting the reverse stock-split proxy process and the capital and legal restructuring.

The Financing costs in the six month period June 30, 2010 were $85,747 higher compared to the six month period ended June 30, 2009. The increase in 2010 resulted because of the fees associated with financing during 2010

Derivative change in Fair Value decreased in the six month period ended June 30, 2010 when compared to the same period in 2009 by $225,558. This variance reflects the year over year fair value calculation change for beneficial features (embedded derivatives) and detachable instrument (warrants) contained in various notes at each of the reporting periods.

In January 2010, we sold a 0.6% royalty interest in our Obester Property to Precious Royalties for $550,000. After adjusting our mineral claim value for the sale, a gain of $300,000 was realized.

Interest expense for the six month period ended June 30, 2010 increased by $318,426 when compared to the same six month period in 2009. This variance reflects the issuance of additional interest bearing notes plus $180,616 of debt discount amortization.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We recognize that our cash resources are limited. Our continued existence and plans for mining production depend on our ability to obtain the capital necessary to operate, through the issuance of additional debt, royalty financing or equity. During the first six months of 2010, we raised an aggregate of $4,800,000 in financing. While this additional funding may meet our immediate working capital needs, we did not generate revenues or cash flows or obtain additional or alternative funding that would enable us to continue as a going concern. We have yet to realize an operating profit at our Company. As disclosed in the report of our independent registered public accounting firm in our financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, our recurring losses and negative cash flow from operations raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

As of June 30, 2010, the Company was in default of the terms on several outstanding notes payable with the Winfield Group totaling $14,369,986 of principal and $5,5,326,543 of interest. The Winfield Group consists of John V. Winfield, Sante Fe Financial Corporation, Portsmouth Square and InterGroup Corporation, Combined, the Winfield Group represent the Company’s largest creditor and a significant stockholder. Mr. Winfield is affiliated with these Companies through a direct controlling interest and/or as their Chairman of the Board. Because we are in default, the entire note balances of the defaulted notes have been recorded as current liabilities.

The Winfield Group held various notes and debentures issued by the Company that are reported in several different liabilities accounts that are in default as of June 30, 2010. The notes are as follows:

Debt in Technical Default with Winfield Group
	At June 30, 2010
Note Descriptions (Winfield Group)	Principal		Unpaid Interest		Total

15% Convertible Notes Payable – Investors	$	687,928	$	41,852	$	729,780

18% Promissory Note Payable - December 2007 Financing		600,000		226,183		826,183
18% Promissory Note Payable - January 2008 Financing		600,000		211,542		811,542
5% Debt Seller Note (Plum Mine)		250,000		62,500		312,500

Total at June 30, 2010	$	14,369,986	$	5,326,543	$	19,696,529

Had the Winfield Group converted all of its convertible principal and interest of $15,726,660 into shares of our common stock at June 30, 2010, we would have been obligated to issue to the Winfield Group 11.7 million shares representing 38.2% of our then outstanding shares of common stock, resulting in substantial dilution. The total Winfield Group’s outstanding principal and interest as of July 31, 2010 was $20,682,157.

As stated earlier, the board has approved a restructuring and recapitalization plan that includes debt for equity exchange and a new capital raise. If we are unable, however, to raise additional working capital through outside financing, it is unlikely that we will achieve resumption of mining in 2011. Furthermore, it is unlikely that the cash generated from our internal operations will suffice as a primary source of the liquidity necessary for anticipated working capital requirements, capital expenditure requirements and interest payments associated with our lease obligations and indebtedness. There is no assurance that the Company’s initiatives to improve its liquidity and financial position will be successful. Accordingly, there is substantial risk that the Company will be unable to continue as a going concern. In the event of insolvency, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution or other winding up of the Company, the Company’s creditors would be entitled to payment in full out of the Company’s assets before stockholders would be entitled to any payment, and it is unlikely that the value of such assets would exceed the claims on such assets.

The recapitalization and restructuring plan contemplates exchanging substantially all of the Company’s existing convertible debt obligations, other debt obligations and related accrued interest which total approximately $29.2 million at June 30, 2010, for equity. In addition to the aforementioned debt and related obligations, we have approximately $1.2 million in mortgage indebtedness which is not considered in the recapitalization and restructuring.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks

An investment in our common stock involves risk. You should carefully consider the following risk factors.

Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to the market-driven increase or decrease in interest rates, and the impact of those changes on the Company’s ability to realize a return on invested or available funds. We ensure the safety and preservation of our invested principal funds by limiting default risk, market risk and reinvestment risk. We mitigate default risk by investing in short term high-credit investment grade securities and/or commercial checking and savings accounts.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

A. Disclosure

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, management performed, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer and our Principal Accounting Officer, an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the report we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer and our Principal Accounting Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Based on the evaluation as described above, our internal control over disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2010 were effective.

B. Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company in accordance with as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

(i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

(ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements; and

(iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized transactions.

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

In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control - Integrated Framework and Internal Control over Financial Reporting-Guidance for Smaller Public Companies.

There have been no changes during the quarter ended June 30, 2010 in our Company's internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) that have material affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over our financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we are involved in lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. There are no matters pending or threatened that we expect to have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Set forth below is an update to our risk factors as set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. For full comprehension of the risks affecting our Company, you are encouraged to review the risk factors set forth in our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which are hereby incorporated herein in their entirety.

Investing in our common stock is very speculative and involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider all of the information in this report before making an investment decision. The following are among the risks we face related to our business, assets and operations. They are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial may also arise. Any of these risks could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition, which in turn could materially and adversely affect the trading price of our common stock. You should not purchase our shares unless you can afford to lose your entire investment.

Relative to our cash flows we have substantial indebtedness.

As of June 30, 2010, we had current indebtedness of $24,238,246 million in addition to $6,222,194 million of current accrued interest payable. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, we had a deficit of cash flows from operating activities of $3,665,351 million. Our substantial indebtedness, and our ability to incur additional indebtedness, may further negatively affect our cash flow and our ability to operate our business and react to changes in the economy or our industry.

Outstanding convertible securities and warrants may result in substantial dilution.

At June 30, 2010, we had outstanding 19,002,653 shares of common stock. In addition, we had outstanding convertible notes and related interest plus various common stock purchase warrants. At June 30, 2010, these notes, related interest and warrants were convertible into or exercisable for a total of approximately 25.2 million additional shares of our common stock, subject to further anti-dilution provisions.

If we are not able to obtain financing, it is unlikely that we will be able to continue as a going concern.

If we are unable to raise additional working capital through outside financing, it is unlikely that the cash generated from our internal operations will suffice as a primary source of the liquidity necessary for anticipated working capital requirements, capital expenditure requirements and interest payments associated with our lease obligations and indebtedness. There is no assurance that the Company’s initiatives to improve its liquidity and financial position will be successful. Accordingly, there is substantial risk that the Company will be unable to continue as a going concern. In the event of insolvency, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution or other winding up of the Company, the Company’s creditors would be entitled to payment in full out of the Company’s assets before stockholders would be entitled to any payment, and it is unlikely that the value of such assets would exceed the claims on such assets.

As of June 30, 2010, the Company is in default of the terms on several outstanding notes payable with the Winfield Group with principal balance due of $14,369,986 and accrued interest of $5,326,543. Because we are in default, the entire note balances of the defaulted notes have been recorded as current liabilities.
