NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Stated in U.S. dollars)
(Unaudited)

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS

Gryphon Gold Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary, Borealis Mining Company (collectively, "the Company"), were incorporated in the State of Nevada in 2003. The Company is an exploration and pre-development stage company in the process of exploring its mineral properties and developing, subject to financing, its fully permitted Borealis Heap Leach Gold Mine.

The recoverability of amounts shown for mineral property interests in the Company's consolidated balance sheets are dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to arrange appropriate financing to complete the development of its properties, the receipt of necessary permitting and upon achieving future profitable production or receiving proceeds from the disposition of the properties. The timing of such events occurring, if at all, is not yet determinable.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

These interim unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial statements, applied on a consistent basis. These interim financial statements follow the same significant accounting policies and methods of application as those disclosed in Note 2 to the Company's audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended March 31, 2006 (the "Annual Financial Statements''), with the exception of Stock Based Compensation. Accordingly, they do not include all disclosures required for annual financial statements. These interim unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereon should be read in conjunction with the Annual Financial Statements.

The preparation of these interim unaudited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. In the opinion of management, these interim unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (which include only normal, recurring adjustments) necessary to state fairly the results for the periods presented. Actual results could vary from these estimates and the operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year.

Stock-based compensation

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard 123R, Share-Based Payment, ("SFAS 123 (R)") a revision to SFAS 123. SFAS 123(R) requires all share-based payments to be recognized in the financial statements based on their values using either a modified-prospective or modified-retrospective transition method.

Prior to March 31, 2006, the Company's stock-based employee compensation plans were accounted for under the recognition and measurement provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion ("APB") No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25") and related interpretations, as permitted by FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123"). The Company did not recognize employee stock-based compensation costs in its statement of operations for the periods prior to March 31, 2006, as all options granted had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of the grant.

Effective April 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), using the modified-prospective-transition method. As a result of adopting FAS 123(R) the net loss for the quarter ending September 30, 2006 increased by $179,261 and for the six months ended September 30, 2006 by $189,374.

4. MINERAL PROPERTY

The Company initially entered into a property option agreement dated July 21, 2003 to acquire up to a 70% interest in the Borealis property in Nevada, USA from Golden Phoenix Minerals, Inc. for cash consideration of $125,000 and the obligation to make qualifying expenditures over several years. On January 28, 2005, the Company purchased outright the rights to a full 100% interest in the property for $1,400,000. A cash payment of $400,000 was made on closing. The Company paid the full outstanding consideration of $1,000,000, in four quarterly payments of $250,000 during the year ended March 31, 2006.

Options pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, particularly as to the expected price volatility of the stock. Changes in these assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate and therefore it is management's view that the existing models do not necessarily provide a single reliable measure of the fair value of the Company's equity instruments.

Item 2. Plan of Operation.

Overview

Gryphon Gold Corporation was incorporated in Nevada on April 24, 2003 and has corporate offices in Lakewood, Colorado and Vancouver, British Columbia. Our objective is to establish a producing gold company through the development and extraction of gold deposits, beginning with the Borealis Property. Currently, our sole asset is a 100% interest in the Borealis Property, located in Mineral County, Nevada. We have not determined if the mineralized material from the Borealis Property can be economically exploited.

In July 2003, we initially acquired from Golden Phoenix Minerals, Inc. ("Golden Phoenix") an option to earn a 70% joint venture interest in the Borealis Property by incurring qualified development expenditures. On January 28, 2005 we acquired the remaining interest held by Golden Phoenix in the Borealis Property for $1,400,000. Our subsidiary, Borealis Mining, paid to Golden Phoenix $400,000 upon closing of the purchase on January 28, 2005, with four additional quarterly payments of $250,000 due to Golden Phoenix. On January 24, 2006, with a final payment of $250,000, Borealis Mining completed all of its financial requirements with respect to Golden Phoenix.

As sole shareholder of Borealis Mining, we control all of the lease rights to a portion of the Borealis Property, subject to advance royalty, production royalty, and other payment obligations imposed by the lease. Our acquisition of the interest of Golden Phoenix in the Borealis Property terminated the July 2003 Option and Joint Venture Agreement.

In addition to our leasehold interest to a portion of the Borealis Property, through Borealis Mining we also own numerous unpatented mining claims that make up the balance of the Borealis Property, and we also own all of the documentation and samples from years of exploration and development programs carried out by the previous operators of the Borealis Property (totaling thousands of pages of data including, but not limited to, geophysical surveys, mineralogical studies and metallurgical testing reports).

A portion of the Borealis Property is subject to the mining lease. We are required to make monthly lease payments of $8,916, adjusted annually based on change in the Consumer Price Index. In addition, the production of precious metals from the Borealis Property will be subject to the payment of a royalty under the terms of the mining lease. The terms of the mining lease and royalty are described below under "Borealis Property". We have also entered into office lease arrangements for offices in Lakewood, Colorado; Vancouver, British Columbia; and Hawthorne, Nevada.

On June 10, 2006, we completed private placements to an officer and employee of 129,000 units for gross proceeds of Cdn$174,150. The units were sold at a price of Cdn$1.35 each and consist of one common share and one half of one purchase warrant. Each warrant is exercisable until June 10, 2007 at a price of Cdn$1.82.

On June 26, 2006, we announced that the USDA Forest Service and the Nevada Bureau of Mining Regulation and Reclamation have both approved the Plan of Operations and Reclamation Plan, allowing Gryphon Gold to proceed with the development of a heap leach mine at the Borealis Gold Project. These approvals, combined with the previously approved operating permits from the State of Nevada, represent the key regulatory approvals required to place the Borealis gold mineralization into production.

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, our exploration work focused on extension and definition drilling and the broadening of district exploration and we expended $3.6 million on exploration of the Borealis property.

On August 17, 2006, we announced the completion and receipt of a positive feasibility study for the Borealis Property. The study was conducted by Samual Engineering, Inc. and was focused on an open pit mine with two-stage crushing and conventional carbon absorption extraction through a 7,300 metric tonnes per day heap leach operation.

The results of the base case model assumes a gold price of $475 per ounce and a silver price of $7.92/oz (60:1), allows for all taxes and is unlevered. The projected base case details are:

14


Completion of construction and the first gold pour is targeted within 8 months of securing the financing. We are in discussions with several financial institutions for a debt or combination debt/equity financing of the mine. The cash flow from this mine is expected to fund the multi-year exploration programs required to fully assess this 27.5 square mile property, which hosts multiple-targets. It may also fund participation in other opportunities.

The study estimates the open pit gold deposits presently contain proven and probable leachable reserves of 13.7 million metric tonnes containing approximately 433,500 ounces of gold and 8.2 million ounces of silver, using a gold price of $475 per ounce and a silver price of $7.92 per ounce. Estimated total gold and silver recovery from the oxide deposits over a six year mine life will be approximately 297,000 ounces gold and 2.9 million ounces silver.

The terms "proven mineral reserve" and "probable mineral reserve" used in this Quarterly Report are in reference to the mining terms defined in the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum Standards, which definitions have been adopted by Canadian National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. The definitions of proven and probable reserves used in NI 43-101 differ from the definitions in the United States Securities and Exchange Commission's Industry Guide 7. In the United States, a mineral reserve is defined as a part of a mineral deposit which could be economically and legally extracted or produced at the time the reserve determination is made. Accordingly, information contained in this Form 10-QSB and the documents incorporated by reference herein containing descriptions of our mineral deposits in accordance with NI 43-101 may not be comparable to similar information made public by other U.S. companies under the United States federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

Until such time as production financing has been secured we continue to expense costs related to the Borealis property. Once definitive financing has been arranged we intend to capitalize development costs.

The base case contemplates an average production rate of 7,300 metric tonnes per day of heap leach material (amounts vary year to year). Life-of-mine strip ratio will be 1.4:1 with annual production averaging approximately 58,000 ounces of gold and 546,000 ounces of silver. The cutoff gold grade for both mineral reserves and mineral resources is 0.34g/t for in-place material and 0.21 g/t for previously mined and stockpiled material based on a gold price of $475 per ounce and a silver price of $7.92.

During fiscal 2007, we plan to continue extension drilling within the Graben deposit. This 20-hole drilling program consists of a series of broad step-out holes along the northern extension of the Graben trend which commenced in September 2006. Guided by the new geophysical surveys and reinterpreted existing geophysical data, this program is designed to delineate the northern and western limits of the Graben deposit's gold mineralization (budgeted at $1.4 million). Simultaneously, we intend to begin a broader scale district exploration reconnaissance and drilling program (budgeted at $0.55 million). This program is designed to determine which of the six other gold mineralized targets identified to date will be the focus of the next exploration program. The following activities are planned for fiscal 2007:

Management's Discussion and Analysis

This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Unaudited Interim Financial Statements and related notes. The discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations are based upon the unaudited interim financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of any contingent liabilities at the financial statement date and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, we review our estimates and assumptions. The estimates were based on historical experience and other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results are likely to differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions, but we do not believe such differences will materially affect our financial position or results of operations. Critical accounting policies, the policies we believe are most important to the presentation of its financial statements and require the most difficult, subjective and complex judgments, are outlined below in "Critical Accounting Policies," and have not changed significantly.

We use words like "expects," "believes," "intends," "anticipates," "plans," "targets," "projects" or "estimates" in this quarterly report. When used, these words and other, similar words and phrases or statements that an event, action or result "will," "may," "could," or "should" occur, be taken or be achieved identify "forward-looking" statements. Such forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including, the risks and uncertainties outlined in Exhibit 99.1 titled "Risk Factors and Uncertainties" contained in our Form 10-QSB filed on August 14, 2006, which Exhibit is hereby incorporated by reference. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, believed, estimated or expected. Our management has included projections and estimates in this quarterly report, which are based primarily on management's experience in the industry, assessments of our results of operations, discussions and negotiations with third parties and a review of information filed by our competitors with the Securities and Exchange Commission or otherwise publicly available. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. We disclaim any obligation subsequently to revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.

We qualify all the forward-looking statements contained in this quarterly report by the foregoing cautionary statements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our unaudited interim financial statements is in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We do not reconcile our unaudited interim financial statements to Canadian generally accepted accounting principles. The following are critical accounting policies and estimates which we believe are important to understanding our financial results.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions which affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the revenues and expenses for the period reported. By their nature, these estimates are subject to measurement uncertainty and the effect on the financial statements of changes in such estimates in future periods could be significant. Actual results will likely differ from these estimates.

16


Exploration of mineral property interests

We expense exploration costs as they are incurred. When we determine that a mining deposit can be economically and legally extracted or produced based on established proven and probable reserves, development costs incurred after such determination will be capitalized. The establishment of proven and probable reserves is based on results of final feasibility studies which indicate whether a property is economically feasible. Upon commencement of commercial production, we will transfer capitalized costs to the appropriate asset category and amortize them over their estimated useful lives and/or ounces produced, as appropriate. We capitalize the cost of acquiring mineral property interests (including original claim establishment) until we have determined the viability of the property. We expense capitalized acquisition costs if we determine that the property has no future economic value and ongoing claim maintenance costs. We will also write down capitalized amounts if estimated future cash flows, including potential sales proceeds, related to the mineral property are estimated to be less than the carrying value of the property.

Stock-based compensation

As regulated by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123(R), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation ("SFAS No. 123(R)"), commencing the quarter ended June 30, 2006, we have adopted the fair value method of accounting for share-based payments to employees and record compensation expense based on requisite service period of options granted to its employees, directors and consultants.

Asset retirement obligations

We record the present value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability in the period in which we incur a legal obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development or normal use of the assets with a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. This amount is depreciated over the estimated useful life of the related assets. The liability is subsequently accreted through charges to expense over its expected life. Currently, we have no asset retirement obligations.

Tax valuation allowance

We have recorded a valuation allowance that fully reserves for our deferred tax assets because at this time we cannot establish that we will be able to utilize the tax loss carryforwards in the future. If in the future we determine that we will be able to use all or a portion of our deferred tax assets in the future, based on our projections of future taxable income, we will reduce the valuation allowance, thereby increasing income in that period.

Foreign currency translation

The United States dollar is our functional currency. Transactions involving foreign currencies for items included in operations are translated into U.S. dollars using average exchange rates; monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date and all other balance sheet items are translated at the historical rates applicable to the transactions that comprise those amounts. Translation gains and losses are included in our determination of net income.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Financial Accounting Standards Board ratified the consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force that stripping costs incurred during the production phase of a mine are variable production costs that should be included in the costs of the inventory produced during the period that the stripping costs are incurred. This consensus is effective for the first reporting period in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005, with early adoption permitted. To date we have not incurred any stripping costs. We have adopted the consensus effective April 1, 2006.

Results of Operations

We are in an exploration stage and currently have no producing mineral properties and thus we had no revenues during all reporting periods.

Three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to three months ended September 30, 2005

For the three months ended September 30, 2006 we had a net loss of $1,871,080 or $0.05 per share compared to a net loss of $813,270 or $0.03 per share in the same period in the prior year, as spending on our exploration activities increased significantly, along with an increase in staffing levels and higher corporate administration costs.

Exploration expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2006 were $1,067,703 or 57% of our total expenses compared to $503,248 or 62% of total expenses in the prior year. The increase in spending was related to continuation of permitting activities, exploration drilling program and completing the feasibility study on our Borealis property, which commenced May 2005 and was completed in August 2006.

Management salaries and consulting fees in the quarter ended September 30, 2006 were $482,009 compared to $244,643 incurred in the quarter ended September 30, 2005 as staffing increased and the company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", which resulted in additional compensation expense of $179,262 to be recognized in the quarter. Salaries and consulting fees are expected to continue to increase in future periods as we expect to hire additional personnel in anticipation of mine development and future gold production from our heap leach mine on the Borealis property. Legal and audit fees for the period increased to $87,393 from $19,612 for the three months ended September 30, 2005, this is mainly due to costs associated with being a public company that reports in both Canada and the United States and is therefore subject to additional reporting and compliance requirements. Travel and accommodation during the quarter ended September 30, 2006 was $65,762, compared to $42,170 expended on travel in the prior year's comparable quarter. The increase is due to greater corporate travel associated with investor relations and property site visits. General and administrative expenses totaled $240,176, compared to $46,968 in the prior year's comparable quarter. The increase is due to higher spending on investor relations, rent related to our Lakewood and Hawthorne offices, related office support and insurance. Travel and general and administrative expenses will continue to increase in future periods with the expected continuing increase in activity to support the development of our Borealis property and with the additional obligations as a public company in the United States and in Canada. Interest income earned on cash deposits was $84,102 for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, compared to $41,240 in the prior year quarter due to significantly higher cash balances then the prior quarter.

Six months ended September 30, 2006 compared to Six months ended September 30, 2005

For the six month period ended September 30, 2006 we incurred a net loss of $3,871,214 or $0.10 per share compared to a net loss of $1,631,188 or $0.06 per share incurred during the same period in the prior year, as spending increased on our exploration activities, along with an increase in our staffing levels and higher corporate administration costs.

Exploration expenses during the six month period ended September 30, 2006 were $2,321,218 or 60% of our total expenses compared to $843,320 or 56% of total expenses in the prior year. The increase in spending was related to continuation of permitting activities, exploration drilling program and completing the feasibility study on our Borealis property, which commenced May 2005 and was completed in August 2006.

Management salaries and consulting fees in the six months ended September 30, 2006 were $890,602 or 22% of our total expenses compared to $440,943 or 23% of total expenses in the prior year as staffing increased significantly and with the adoption of fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), stock-based compensation expense of $189,375 has been recognized. It is expected that salaries and consulting fees will continue to increase in future periods as we expect to hire additional personnel in anticipation of mine development and future gold production from our heap leach mine on the Borealis property. Legal and audit fees for the six month period decreased to $164,759 from $189,471 incurred in the prior years comparable period. The higher costs reported in the six months ended September 30, 2006 are associated to changing reporting to US generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) from Canadian GAAP and the legal and auditing costs incurred to become a public company. Travel and accommodation during the six months ended September 30, 2006 was $185,439, compared to $96,157 reported in prior year six month period ended September 30, 2005. The increase is due to greater corporate travel associated with investor relations and property site visits. General and administrative expenses of $481,218, compared to $126,059 in the prior years comparable period. The increase is due to higher spending on investor relations, rent related to our Lakewood office which opened during fiscal 2006, office support and insurance. Travel, general and administrative expenses will continue to increase in future periods with the continuing increase in activity to support the development of our Borealis property and with the additional obligations as a public company in the United States and in Canada. Interest income earned on cash deposits was $176,529 for the six months ended September 30, 2006, compared to $79,129 in the prior year comparable period due to significantly higher average cash balances during the six month period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal source of liquidity is cash which is raised by way of sale of commons shares from treasury.

At September 30, 2006 we had working capital of $5,761,223, and we had current assets consisting of $6,240,563 in cash, $59,901 in accounts receivable and $69,437 in prepaid expenses. We had $608,678 in current liabilities at September 30, 2006, consisting of $589,715 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and $18,963 in current portion of capital leases. We believe we have sufficient working capital to fund completion of our drilling program, costs related to lease and claim maintenance fees and general and administrative expense for the next 8 to 12 months. We currently have approximately 12.8 million 'in-the-money' warrants with exercise price ranging from $0.75 to $1.021,and an average exercise price of $0.95, which are set to expire on December 22, 2006. We believe that it is reasonable to anticipate that they will be exercised given the current market price of our company stock ($1.18 per share at November 9, 2006); however, there can be no assurance that such warrants will be exercised. If all warrants are exercised, we could realize cash proceeds of approximately $12.2 million.

The feasibility study completed for the Borealis Heap Leach Mine estimates an initial capital cost of approximately $15.4 million, made up of $9.2 million in fixed assets, $4.2 million in bonding requirements and $2 million in working capital. In order to bring the Borealis property into production we will need to obtain additional capital, most likely from a combination of the sale of common shares, the exercise of existing outstanding warrants, or debt financing. We have received indicative term sheets for a $12 million production loan from four international banks; we have selected two of these banks to proceed with technical due diligence which is currently in process. We anticipate we will receive a definitive term sheet from one of the two banks on or about December 31, 2006.

Summary of any product research and development that the company will perform for the term of the plan.

We do not anticipate performing any product research and development under our plan of operation.

Expected purchase or sale of plant and significant equipment.

Also, to maintain its existing claims, we make payments totaling approximately $102,000 annually. These payments are contingent upon us maintaining an interest in the property.

PART II--OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

Except as provided below, neither we nor any of our property, including the Borealis Property, are currently subject to any material legal proceedings or other regulatory proceedings and to our knowledge no such proceedings are contemplated.

On September 16, 2005, our subsidiary, Borealis Mining Company, was named as a co-defendant in an ongoing civil action pending in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada, entitled United States v. Walker River Irrigation District (Court Doc. No. In Equity C-125, Subfile C-125-B). The action seeks to determine the existence and extent of water rights held by the federal government in the Walker River drainage area for use on federally reserved lands such as Indian reservations, National Forests, military reservations, and the like. The suit does not dispute nor seek to invalidate any existing water rights (including ours); rather, it seeks to determine the extent and priority of the federal government's water rights. On May 27, 2003, the Court stayed all proceedings to allow the United States, the State of Nevada, the State of California, the Walker River Paiute Tribe, the Walker River Irrigation District, Mono County, California, Lyon County, Nevada, Mineral County, Nevada and the Walker Lake Working Group to attempt to mediate a settlement. Borealis Mining Company was named as one of several hundred co-defendants in this action because it owns water rights within a portion of the Walker River drainage area in Nevada, which were granted under a permit on September 16, 2005. We, like most private water right owners, do not intend to participate in the merits of the lawsuit. We do not believe that this civil action, which will determine the extent and priority of federally reserved water rights in the area, will have any effect on our planned business operations as we currently have permits to access water from two sites for our Borealis Property, one of which is not subject to this action and either of which, individually, would provide a sufficient water supply for our planned operations.
