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 nine month periods ended September 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 requires 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 September 30, 2010 and comprehensive loss for the three and
nine months ended September 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 November 10, 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.
