1. GENERAL INFORMATION
Great Basin Gold Ltd. ("Great Basin" or "the Company") is incorporated
under the laws of the Province of British Columbia and its registered
address is 1108-1030 West Georgia Street, Vancouver BC, Canada. The
Company is a mineral exploration and development company that is
currently focused on delivering two advanced stage projects: the
Hollister Project on the Carlin Trend in Nevada, USA and the Burnstone
Project in the Witwatersrand Goldfields in South Africa. The Company,
currently recognized as an emerging producer, will migrate to the rank
of a junior gold producer as production from these two projects
increases during 2011 and 2012.Over and above the exploration being
conducted at the above mentioned properties, greenfields exploration is
being undertaken in Tanzania and Mozambique.
Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30,
2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected
for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2011. In the opinion of
management, these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements
reflect all adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of
the results for the interim period presented.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATIONS AND ADOPTION OF IFRS
The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with
Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") as set out
in the Handbook of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants
("CICA Handbook"). In 2010, the CICA Handbook was revised to
incorporate International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), and
require publicly accountable enterprises to apply such standards
effective for years beginning on or after January 1, 2011. Accordingly,
the Company has commenced reporting on this basis in its 2011 interim
consolidated financial statements. In these financial statements, the
term "Canadian GAAP" refers to Canadian GAAP before the adoption of
IFRS.
These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with IFRS applicable to the preparation of interim financial
statements, including IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting and IFRS 1,
First-time adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards. The
accounting policies followed in these interim financial statements are
the same as those applied in the Company`s interim financial statements
for the period ended March 31, 2011. The Company has consistently
applied the same accounting policies throughout all periods
presented, as if these policies had always been in effect. The interim
financial statements discloses the impact of the transition to IFRS on
the Company`s reported equity as at June 30, 2010 and comprehensive
loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010.
The accounting policies applied in these interim consolidated financial
statements are based on IFRS effective for the year ended December 31,
2011, as issued and outstanding as of August 4, 2011, the date the
Board of directors approved the statements. Any subsequent changes to
IFRS that are given effect in the Company`s annual consolidated
financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2011 could result
in restatement of these interim consolidated financial statements,
including the transition adjustments recognized on change-over to IFRS.
The interim consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the Company`s Canadian GAAP annual financial
statements for the year ended December, 2010, and the Company`s interim
financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 prepared in
accordance with IFRS applicable to interim financial statements, which
are both available through the internet on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
Significant accounting policies
These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements follow the
same accounting policies and methods of application as the Company`s
most recent annual financial statements, except for those changes
recognized on change-over to IFRS, as described in interim financial
statements for quarter ended March 31, 2011.
Critical accounting estimates and judgments
The Company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future that
will, by definition, seldom equal actual results. These estimates and
judgments have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to
the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period.
Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates relate to
impairment of mineral property interests, valuation of inventories,
allocation of purchase price consideration to the fair value of
identifiable assets and liabilities acquired, the determination of
amortization, depletion and accretion, determination of reclamation
obligations, the determination of the fair values of financial
instruments, assumptions used in determining the fair value of non-cash
share based payments, warrants and derivatives, determination of
valuation allowances for deferred income tax liabilities, estimated
market related interest rate used to calculate the equity component of
compound financial instruments and allocation of indirect mining and
overhead expenses to production and development costs.
4. SEGMENT DISCLOSURE
The Company operates in reportable operating segments to deliver on its
strategy to explore, develop and operate mineral properties. Management
has determined the operating segments based on the reports reviewed by
the Company`s Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM" that are used to
make strategic decisions. The company`s CODM is its Chief Executive
Officer. Geographic information is as follows:

5. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Option to acquire 80% of Shield Resources Limited
The Company entered into an agreement in June 2011 whereby it granted
Shanta Gold Limited ("Shanta") the option, following the fulfillment of
the conditions precedent, to acquire an 80% interest in the Company`s
wholly-owned subsidiary, Shield Resources Limited ("Shield"), who is
the holder of various prospecting licenses in the Lupa region on
Tanzania.
In consideration for providing Shanta with the exclusive right to
acquire the shares in Shield, Shanta is obliged to issue ordinary
shares to the value of US$7 million and Shanta warrants to the value of
US$7 million (at an implied value of 35p each) to the Company.
Furthermore Shanta has to fund a US$12 million exploration program,
spread over a period of 3 years ending December 31, 2013 and make
additional payments depending on the number of gold ounce resources
discovered. Shanta will acquire the 80% equity interest in Shield upon
the completion of the exploration program.
