NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2006 and 2005

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS, GOING CONCERN, MANAGEMENT PLANS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Description of Business

We are a North American precious metals mining company with an operating gold and silver test mine in northern Nevada. The primary nature of our business is the exploration and development of mineral producing properties. Our Company was formed in mid-2003, and we acquired the Plum property in November 2003. In our relatively short history, we secured permits, built an infrastructure and brought the Plum exploration project into test mining production. During 2005, we acquired additional properties around the Plum project in Northern Nevada, expanding our footprint and creating opportunities for exploration. We are an emerging company, looking to build on our success through the acquisition of other mineral properties in North America with reserves and exploration potential that can be efficiently put into near-term production. Our objectives are to increase production; increase reserves through exploration and acquisitions; expand our footprint at the Plum mine; and maximize cash flow and the return for our shareholders. We were incorporated in the State of Florida effective October 19, 1999 under the name of Click and Call, Inc.. On June 7, 2000, we filed an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation changing our name to STARTCALL.COM, INC. On March 10, 2003, we changed our name to GoldSpring, Inc.

Going Concern

The financial statements are presented on the basis that our company is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business over a reasonable length of time. We have incurred operating losses since its inception. This condition raises substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.

Management Plans

Our plans for the continuation of our company as a going concern include developing our Plum Mine into a profitable operation and potentially supplementing financing of our operations through sales of our unregistered common stock and borrowings from affiliates, third parties and other shareholders. There are no assurances, however, with respect to the future success of these plans. The financial statements do not contain any adjustments, which might be necessary, if we are unable to continue as a going concern.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Article 10 of Regulation S-B. 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 nine-month period ended September 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2006. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Form 10-KSB Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Forward-Looking Statements

The following discussion contains, in addition to historical information, forward-looking statements regarding GoldSpring, Inc. (“we,” the "Company," or "GSPG"), that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially. For this purpose, any statements contained in this Report that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, words such as "may," "will," "expect," "believe," "anticipate," "intend," "could," "estimate," or "continue" or the negative or other variations thereof or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include possible need for additional financing; dependence on management; government regulation; and other factors discussed in this report and the Company's other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Summarized below are the significant accounting policies of GoldSpring, Inc. (“we,” “GoldSpring,” or the “Company”). Unless otherwise indicated, amounts provided in these notes to the financial statements pertain to continuing operations.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. 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.

Convertible Notes - Derivative Financial Instruments

The Convertible Notes, both payable and receivable have been accounted for in accordance with SFAS 133 and EITF No. 00-19, "Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company's Own Stock."

The Company has identified the following instruments (for which formal loan agreement signed as of August 23, 2004) have derivatives requiring evaluation and accounting under the relevant guidance applicable to financial derivatives:

·	Winfield Debenture Payable issued 5/18/06 in the face amount of $300,000

·	Winfield Debenture Payable issued 6/21/06 in the face amount of $300,000

·	Winfield Debenture Payable issued 8/23/06 in the face amount of $300,000

·	Longview Debenture Payable issued 8/24/06 in the face amount of $300,000

The Company has identified the above debentures have embedded derivatives. These embedded derivatives have been bifurcated from their respective host debt contracts and accounted for as derivative assets or liabilities in accordance with EITF 00-19. When multiple derivatives exist within the Convertible Notes, they have been bundled together as a single hybrid compound instrument in accordance with SFAS No. 133 Derivatives Implementation Group Implementation Issue No. B-15, "Embedded Derivatives: Separate Accounting for Multiple Derivative Features Embedded in a Single Hybrid Instrument."

F-7

The embedded derivatives within the Convertible Notes have been recorded at fair value at the date of issuance; and are marked-to-market each reporting period with changes in fair value recorded to the Company's income statement as "Net change in fair value of derivative liabilities." The Company has utilized a third party valuation firm to fair value the embedded derivatives using a lattice model based on a layered discounted probability-weighted cash flow approach.

The fair value of the derivative liabilities are subject to the changes in the trading value of the Company's common stock, as well as other factors. As a result, the Company's financial statements may fluctuate from quarter-to-quarter based on factors, such as the price of the Company's stock at the balance sheet date and the amount of shares converted by the note holders. Consequently, our financial position and results of operations may vary from quarter-to-quarter based on conditions other than our operating revenues and expenses.

Certain instruments, including convertible debt and equity instruments and the freestanding options and warrants issued in connection with those convertible instruments, may be subject to registration rights agreements, which impose penalties for failure to register the underlying common stock by a defined date. These potential cash penalties may require the Company to account for the debt or equity instruments or the freestanding options and warrants as derivative financial instrument liabilities, rather than as equity. In addition, when the ability to physical or net-share settle the conversion option or the exercise of the freestanding options or warrants is deemed to be not within the control of the company, the embedded conversion option or freestanding options or warrants may be required to be accounted for as a derivative financial instrument liability.

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 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

In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” which supersedes both SFAS No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of” and the accounting and reporting provisions of Accounting Practice Bulletin (“APB”) Opinion No. 30, “Reporting the Results of Operations — Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions,” for the disposal of a segment of a business (as previously defined in that opinion).This statement 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 statement 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. Therefore, discontinued operations will no longer be measured at net realizable value or include amounts for operating losses that have not yet occurred.

SFAS No. 144 retains the fundamental provisions of SFAS No. 121 for recognizing and measuring impairment losses on long-lived assets held for use and long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, while also resolving significant implementation issues associated with SFAS No. 121. We adopted SFAS No. 144 in our evaluation of the fair value of certain assets described in these financial statement footnotes.

F-8

Inventories

We state inventories at the lower of average cost or net realizable value. At September 30, 2006 and 2005, our inventories consisted of $0 and $32,457, respectively, of doré and bullion in our accounts at refineries. At September 30, 2006, we had $ 0 of supplies and reagents compared to $29,785 at September 30, 2005. We were unable to estimate our in-process inventories at September 30, 2006, as our gold production processes are still in their inception stage, and we do not yet have sufficient data available to accurately calculate in-process inventory. We value inventories at the lower of full cost of production or net realizable value based on current metals prices. We determine net realizable value by estimating value based on current metals prices, less cost to convert stockpiled and in-process inventories to finished products.

Revenue Recognition

Sales of gold and silver ore are recorded when title and risk of loss transfer to the refiner at current spot metals prices. Sales are calculated based upon assay of the ore’s precious metal content and its weight. Recorded values are adjusted upon final settlement from the refiner that usually occurs within 24 days of delivery. If we have reason to believe that the final settlement will materially affect our recognition of revenue because of a difference between the refiner’s assay of precious metals contained in the dore and ours, we establish a reserve against the sale.

Net Loss

Net loss numbers in the Statement of Operations do not give effect to any domestic or foreign tax benefits.

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 or our estimate of the fair value of the services received, whichever is more reliably measurable. We have not issued stock for services in the first three quarters of 2006 and do not intend to do so during the remainder of 2006, although we may issue options to an executive officer during the fourth quarter of 2006 as a bonus.

Deferred Financing Charges

During the first three quarters of 2006 we recorded deferred financing charges associated with the issue of promissory notes payable totaling $107,500. We amortize the charges over the respective lives of the promissory notes payable as interest expense. During the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2006 we recognized $100,273 and $243,909 respectively of interest expense related to the amortization of deferred financing fees.

Plant and Equipment

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

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 7 years.

F-9

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 Properties

We defer acquisition costs until we determine the viability of the property. Since we do not have proven and probable reserves as defined by 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 property on a quarterly basis to determine whether an impairment has incurred in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) 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.

We carry our property acquisition and capitalized plant and equipment costs at cost less accumulated amortization and write-downs.

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 be related to asset retirements we recognize the obligations in accordance with Statement of Position No. 96-1.

In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.” SFAS 143 established a uniform methodology for accounting for estimating reclamation and abandonment costs. The Standard requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred. SFAS No. 143 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. In our case, the long-lived asset is directly related to the mining infrastructure costs being expensed by our Company. Since we do not yet have proven or probable reserves as defined by Industry Guide 7, and in accordance with FASB No. 143 our asset retirement obligation was expensed directly to reclamation expense.

F-10

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 periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, we had net losses for which the affect of common stock equivalents would be anti-dilutive, accordingly only basic loss per share is presented.

Recent Authoritative Pronouncements

On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, or Statement, No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment ("Statement 123(R)"), which is a revision of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation ("Statement 123"). Statement 123(R) supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 ("APB 25"), Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and amends FASB Statement No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. Generally, the approach in Statement 123(R) is similar to the approach described in Statement 123. Statement 123(R) requires that all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer permitted. Statement 123(R) is effective for small business issuers at the beginning of the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2005. As permitted by Statement 123, we currently account for share-based payments to employees using APB 25's intrinsic value method. We adopted Statement 123(R) on January 1, 2006 using the modified prospective method.

In November 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 151, "Inventory Costs - an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4." SFAS 151 seeks to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted material (spoilage) in the determination of inventory carrying costs. The statement requires such costs to be treated as a current period expense. This statement is effective November 1, 2005 for the Company. The Company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS 151 will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS 154, "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections - a Replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3." SFAS 154 requires retrospective application to prior period financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. SFAS 154 also redefines "restatement" as the revising of previously issued financial statements to reflect the correction of an error. This statement is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005 (or fiscal 2007 for the Company). The Company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS 154 will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

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.

F-11

Income Taxes

We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be recovered. We provide a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for which we do not consider realization of such assets to be more likely than not.

NOTE 3 - NOTES PAYABLE STOCKHOLDERS

As of September 30, 2006, the Company is in default of the terms on outstanding notes payable with several of its note holders with principal balances due of $9,041,625 and accrued interest of $952,198.

NOTE 4 - COMMON STOCK

During the three months ended March 31, 2006, the Company issued 212,150,563 shares of common stock valued at $3,276,100 in connection with the partial conversion of principal and interest of certain convertible debentures (see Note 7).

During the three months ended June 30, 2006, the Company issued 247,802,225 shares of common stock valued at $2,747,972 in connection with the partial conversion of principal and interest of certain convertible debentures (see Note 7).

During the three months ended September 30, 2006, the Company did not issue any shares of Common Stock.

NOTE 6 - OTHER ITEMS

LIQUIDATED DAMAGES

For the first three quarters of 2005 (ended September 30, 2005), we recorded liquidated damages expenses due to investors of our March 2004 offering and subsequent November 30, 2004 restructuring as follows:

Liquidated damages relating to:
November 30, 2004 Non-Registration Provisions	$	4,520,615
Failure to timely deliver shares upon notice of converting note holders		98,529
	$	4,619,144

F-12

These liquidated damages ceased in October 2005 when our Registration Statement was declared effective.

Non-Registration Provisions

Our November 2004 subscription agreement required us to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission no later than December 30, 2004 and to cause the registration statement to be declared effective no later than February 14, 2005. Our former Chief Executive Officer withdrew our pending registration statement and did not submit a new registration statement during the period of his purported control of our company. His failure to submit the registration statement to the SEC by December 30, 2004 triggered liquidated damages to accrue under the November 2004 subscription agreement. Accordingly, at December 31, 2004, we had accrued $222,013 of liquidated damages relating to Non-Registration Provisions. The liquidated damages continued to accrue in the amount of $222,013 for each 30-day period after December 30, 2004 until our registration statement was declared effective in October 2005.

Failure to Timely Deliver Conversion Shares

On December 20, 2004, we received notice from holders of approximately $500,000 of convertible notes payable of their intention to convert into shares of our common stock. As a result, we recorded the issuance of 4,243,791 shares on December 20, 2004. We were required to deliver certificates representing unrestricted, free-trading stock within three business days of our receipt of the notices of conversion (the “Delivery Date”). The failure to deliver the shares by the Delivery Date resulted in liquidated damages of 1% of the Note principal amount being converted per business day after the Delivery Date. Our former Chief Executive Officer did not deliver the stock certificates within the required period. On March 18, 2005 we delivered the certificates representing the shares of common stock to these converting note holders. The 84 -day delay in delivering the shares resulted in liquidated damages of $403,175. We recognized these damages during the fourth quarter of 2004 and the first quarter of 2005. We issued convertible notes for the amount of liquidated damages due.

MANDATORY REDEMPTION PAYMENT

Under the terms of the November 2004 subscription agreement, convertible note holders have the right to a mandatory redemption payment in the event we are prohibited or otherwise fail to deliver shares of our common stock to converting note holders. The mandatory redemption payment is calculated as an amount equal to multiplying the number of shares of common stock otherwise deliverable upon conversion of the note’s principal and interest multiplied by the highest price of our common stock for the period beginning with the Deemed Conversion Date (the date the holder elects to convert the note) and ending with the payment date. On March 7, 2005, we received a mandatory redemption payment demand relating to our failure to deliver stock certificates representing 29,573,803 shares of our common stock. Under the mandatory redemption payment provisions of the November 2004 subscription agreement, we repurchased the 29,573,803 shares of common stock at $0.23 per share, or $6,801,975. We issued a secured convertible note in the aggregate amount of $6,885,184 with a 12% interest rate for the 29,573,803 shares and accrued interest.

LITIGATION

The State Court Case

On November 9, 2004, we filed a lawsuit in Maricopa County (Arizona) Superior Court against defendants Stephen B. Parent, Ron Haswell, Walter Doyle, Seth Shaw, Antonio Treminio, together with their spouses, and Ecovery, Inc., a Nevada corporation, or Ecovery.

The 12-count complaint alleges claims for violations of Arizona’s racketeering act, state-law securities fraud (primary and secondary liability), common-law fraud, negligent misrepresentation, breach of fiduciary duty, negligence/gross negligence, breach of contract, unjust enrichment/restitution, theft/conversion, conspiracy liability, and injunctive relief. In essence, the complaint alleges that Stephen Parent misrepresented the value of certain placer mining claims that his company, Ecovery, sold to us in 2003 in exchange for approximately 99,000,000 shares of our stock; that Ecovery no longer had good title to the mining claims when they were sold to us; that Mr. Parent and the other named defendants conspired to defraud us out of approximately 24,000,000 shares of our stock; and that Mr. Parent misappropriated more than $300,000 in company funds.

On November 29, 2004, we moved for a temporary restraining order, or TRO, prohibiting Mr. Parent and his spouse from selling, transferring, assigning, or otherwise disposing of up to approximately 46,000,000 shares of our stock in their possession. After a hearing, at which the Parents appeared through counsel, the Honorable Anna M. Baca granted the motion, conditioned on the posting of an $8 million bond. We did not post the bond, and the TRO was subsequently dissolved.

On or about December 9, 2004, Mr. Parent and fellow GoldSpring directors Jerrie W. Gasch and Purnendu K. Rana Medhi purportedly seized control of our company. Afterward, the Parent-led GoldSpring purported to fire Greenberg Traurig, LLP, or GT, as counsel for our company in this litigation and to hire Ronan & Firestone, PLC, or Ronan, as substitute counsel. Thereafter, on December 22, 2004, Ronan filed a stipulation to dismiss the lawsuit, purportedly on behalf of our company. Also on December 22, 2004, the Parents filed their answer, in which they generally denied the allegations of the complaint.

On December 29, 2004, GT filed a motion on behalf of our company to strike the stipulation to dismiss that Ronan had filed. Judge Baca heard oral argument on the motion on February 2, 2005 and took the matter under advisement. Further oral argument was heard on March 22, 2005. In light of the preliminary injunction that was issued in a related shareholder action in federal district court (discussed below), and the resolutions passed by our Board of Directors on February 22, 2005, Judge Baca granted the motion in an Order dated March 22, 2005 and struck Ronan’s purported stipulation to dismiss.

In the same ruling, Judge Baca said that “there are serious conflicts in the continued representation of the Parents in this lawsuit by Gust Rosenfeld.” The Court was referring to the fact that Parent had hired Gust Rosenfeld as our counsel after purportedly taking over our company on December 9, 2004. The Court therefore ordered further briefing on whether Gust Rosenfeld should be disqualified as the Parents’ counsel. Shortly thereafter, on March 28, 2005, Gust Rosenfeld voluntarily withdrew as the Parents’ counsel. The Parents have since retained new counsel. The discovery process is currently ongoing.

Mr. Treminio has since been dismissed from the suit in accordance with the terms of a prior settlement agreement between Mr. Treminio and GoldSpring, Inc.. Mr. Shaw filed an answer, in pro per, on April 6, 2005, and generally denied the allegations of the complaint. Mr. Haswell, Mr. Doyle and Ecovery, Inc. have filed answers and generally denied the allegations of the complaint. Mr. Shaw satisfied his financial obligations, related to the terms and conditions of the settlement agreement, in early November 2006.

At the end of June 2006, the Company settled its claims against Mr. Shaw for a $75,000 settlement and was in negotiations with another defendant for settlement.

During the third quarter, the Company entered into a settlement with another defendant, requiring a cash payment, which has not yet been paid.

The Federal Court Case

Background

Stephen B. Parent and several others purporting to represent a majority of the shareholders of our company adopted Consent Resolutions in Lieu of a Special Meeting of Shareholder’s dated December 9, 2004, and Mr. Parent, Jerrie W. Gasch, and Purnendu K. Rana Medhi, each of whom served as a director of our company until Mr. Medhi’s resignation in April 2005, adopted Directors’ Consent Resolutions (together the “December Consent Resolutions”) dated December 10, 2004. Taken together, the December Consent Resolutions, by their purported terms, removed John F. Cook, Robert T. Faber, Leslie L. Cahan, Todd S. Brown, Christopher L. Aguilar, Stanley A. Hirschman, and Phil E. Pearce as directors, rescinded the restructuring of a $10 million financing transaction entered into in March 2004, removed Mr. Faber as President of our company, named Mr. Parent as President of our company and his wife as Secretary of our company, designated Mr. Parent as the sole signing officer of our company’s bank accounts, and terminated our company’s legal counsel.

On December 22, 2004, Robert T. Faber and Leslie L. Cahan (collectively, the “plaintiffs”), who are shareholders and directors of our company, filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona, entitled Robert T. Faber, et al. v. Stephen B. Parent, et al., No. CV04-2960-PHX-EHC (“the Litigation”). The plaintiffs asserted claims in both their individual capacities and derivatively, on behalf of our company, against directors Stephen B. Parent, Jerrie W. Gasch, and Purnendu K. Rana Medhi (collectively, the “defendants”), alleging that, by adopting the Consent Resolutions, the defendants had unlawfully orchestrated an illegal coup to wrest control of our company from its current officers and directors. As discussed below, Messrs. Gasch and Medhi no longer support the Parent-led board.

The Temporary Restraining Order

Following a hearing on December 22, 2004, at which the Court heard evidence and argument of counsel, the Honorable Earl H. Carroll issued a December 23, 2004 Order Granting Plaintiffs’ Motion for Temporary Restraining Order, or TRO. The TRO precluded defendants and their agents from (1) making any withdrawals from any bank accounts of our company, other than reasonable withdrawals necessary to the daily operations of the business; (2) rescinding or interfering in any way with any transactions approved by our company’s Board of Directors prior to December 9, 2004; (3) entering into any contracts or agreements with third parties on behalf of our company or disposing of or transferring any property or assets of our company; and (4) issuing or otherwise transferring any stock or debentures.

The Court subsequently continued the TRO through February 15, 2005 and confirmed that none of the defendants were to receive any payments from our company during the pendency of the TRO. Despite the Court’s Order, the defendants have since produced business records of our company demonstrating that, after adopting the December Consent Resolutions, the defendants arranged for our company to pay them a collective total of $38,721, including $20,869 in payments to Stephen Parent.

The Preliminary Injunction and Notice of Appeal

Following additional hearings in which the Court heard witness testimony and evidence, the Court issued an Order on February 15, 2005 granting plaintiffs’ Motion for a Preliminary Injunction. The Preliminary Injunction ordered the reinstatement of our company’s Board of Directors as it existed prior to December 10, 2004. As a result of the Court’s Order, John F. Cook, Robert T. Faber, Christopher L. Aguilar, Todd S. Brown, Leslie L. Cahan, Stanley A. Hirschman, and Phil E. Pearce have been reinstated as directors. Stephen B. Parent, Jerrie W. Gasch, and Purnendu K. Rana Medhi remained directors until Mr. Medhi’s resignation in April 2005. The Court’s February 15 Order also stayed the implementation of the Consent Resolutions, and directed us to hold a special shareholders meeting within 30 days.

F-15

In concluding that the Preliminary Injunction should issue, the Court stated, “The Court is specifically concerned about the irreparable injury that would occur to GoldSpring and its shareholders and investors if Defendants [Mr. Parent, his wife, Jerrie W. Gasch, and Purnendu K. Rana Medhi] are permitted to manage the corporation. There is substantial evidence of Parent’s wrongdoing in his former position as CEO of GoldSpring, such as his misappropriation of corporate assets for his personal use. The Defendants’ attempt to rescind the financing transaction that was approved at the Board of Directors meeting on November 30, 2004 could adversely impact GoldSpring’s ability to meet its obligations under the agreement. Rescission of the refinancing transaction would prove detrimental for GoldSpring because the corporation would be forced to pay the $200,000.00 monthly penalty for failing to file the S-1 Registration with the SEC within ninety (90) days of the March 22, 2004 agreement between GoldSpring and various investors. This penalty had accrued to over $1,000,000.00 as of November 30, 2004.”

Thereafter, the defendants filed a motion for reconsideration in which they asked that the Preliminary Injunction be dissolved or, alternatively, that the Court clarify the injunction order and require the plaintiffs to post a bond. On February 25, 2005, the Court held a hearing on the defendants’ motion for reconsideration. The Court denied the defendants’ requests to dissolve the Preliminary Injunction and to require the posting of a bond. In response to defendants’ request for clarification of the injunction order, the Court ordered that our company is not to issue additional shares prior to the special shareholders meeting, and that the record date for the special shareholders meeting shall be December 9, 2004.

Our company believed that this ruling would disenfranchise the investors that participated in the November 30, 2004 restructuring transaction by preventing them from receiving and voting the shares they are entitled to receive through the conversion of their notes. A December 9, 2004 record date would also have disenfranchised all shareholders that acquired their stock on the open market after December 9, 2004.

Therefore, on February 28, 2005, our company filed a legal memorandum with the Court addressing these issues. In it, we pointed out that applicable federal securities laws require us to provide shareholders with current financial statements, which will not be available until June 30, 2005, and that Florida law and our company’s bylaws require that a record date be fixed in advance rather than in the past. On March 14, 2005, the Court held a hearing on these issues. After hearing argument of counsel, the Court indicated that it agreed with our position.

Accordingly, on March 17, 2005, the Court vacated its earlier Order directing us to hold a special shareholders meeting and setting December 9, 2004 as the record date for purposes of that meeting. The Court also vacated the provision of its February 25 Order prohibiting us from issuing additional shares. Finally, the Court reaffirmed its earlier Order reinstating our Board of Directors as it existed prior to December 10, 2004. In doing so, the Court ordered that the reinstated board shall remain in place until the Court orders otherwise.

On April 13, 2005, a notice of appeal was filed on behalf of defendants (the Parents, the Gaschs, and the Medhis) seeking to reverse the Court’s March 17 Order. On April 21, 2005, the Gaschs moved to dismiss their appeal. On June 10, 2005, the defendants (the Parents) filed their opening appellate brief. The plaintiffs filed their response brief on August 16, 2005. The defendants’ response brief was filed on October 3, 2005. The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals held oral arguments on the appeal on January 12, 2006.

On January 23, 2006, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit issued a Memorandum disposition in the matter of Faber v. Parent, stating, “We reverse the district court’s decision to grant the preliminary injunction for failure to comply with the requirements of Rule 52(a). However, the injunction shall remain intact for a reasonable time not to exceed 90 days from the date on which this disposition is filed or until an earlier date on which the district court enters a succeeding preliminary injunction. During this time, the district court may issue a new preliminary injunction if, after undertaking the required analysis and making the necessary findings, it deems such an injunction appropriate.” The preliminary injunction, issued by the district court on February 15, 2005, had reinstated GoldSpring’s Board of Directors as it existed prior to Mr. Parent’s takeover of GoldSpring on December 10, 2004. The Memorandum disposition also stated that, “If, after further proceedings, the district court does not order a new preliminary injunction, we leave it to the district court to restore, as near as possible, the situation that would have existed if the preliminary injunction had never been granted.”

F-16

The Investors’ Motion to Intervene

On March 2, 2005, Longview Fund LP, Longview Equity Fund, Longview International Equity Fund, and Alpha Capital AG (collectively, the “Investors”) moved to intervene in the litigation. In doing so, the Investors sought to dissolve the portion of the Court’s February 25, 2005 Order that prohibited our company from issuing stock to them under the refinancing transaction.

In their motion to intervene, the Investors alleged that they are holders of more than $3 million of Convertible Notes issued by us, which they received pursuant to the transaction in March 2004. The Investors further alleged that, under the terms of the Convertible Notes, they are entitled to convert the notes, in whole or in part, into our stock at any time. The Investors contended that, by preventing us from issuing stock, the Court’s February 25 Order is a de facto preliminary injunction in favor of the defendants, and effectively deprived the Investors of much of the benefits to which they are contractually entitled. Because the defendants had not met the requirements for injunctive relief, the Investors argued, that portion of the Court’s Order should be dissolved. Alternatively, the Investors asked the Court to order the defendants to post a $3.5 million bond to protect the Investors against any damages stemming from the de facto injunction.

On March 7, 2005, the defendants filed their response to the Investors’ motion. They contended that Judge Carroll’s February 25 Order was not an injunction and, in any event, that the Investors had failed to meet the requirements for intervention. Accordingly, they argued that the motion should be denied.

On March 18, 2005, the Court issued an Order denying the Investors’ motion as moot. The Court reasoned that, since its March 17 Order lifted the prohibition on the issuance of additional shares of our stock, the Investors had, in essence, already received the relief they requested in their motion to intervene. Therefore, the issues raised in that motion had become moot.

The Company’s Motion Re: the Gust Rosenfeld Retainer

After purportedly seizing control of our company on December 9, 2004, Stephen Parent, acting as the putative president of GoldSpring, authorized the payment of a $250,000 retainer to the law firm of Gust Rosenfeld using funds of our company. On March 1, 2005, we filed a motion for an order requiring Gust Rosenfeld to provide a detailed accounting of its use of these funds and to refund the unused portion.

On March 14, 2005, Gust Rosenfeld sent us a refund check for $83,903.38 and a “ledger” showing how the firm spent the other $166,096.62. Among other things, the ledger revealed that Gust Rosenfeld withdrew approximately $109,000 as payment for its attorneys’ fees and costs. The ledger also showed payments to other lawyers and outside vendors totaling approximately $57,000. Included in this amount were two “refund” payments to Stephen Parent totaling $21,000.

We have filed a reply brief asking the Court to order Gust Rosenfeld to provide a more detailed accounting of its expenditures, including billing invoices for legal services it purportedly rendered to our company. We have also asked the Court to require Gust Rosenfeld to provide a written explanation for the payments to other lawyers and outside vendors, as well as the so-called refund payments to Parent.

The “New” Consent Resolutions

On March 21, 2005, defendants Stephen and Judith Parent filed a “Motion for Order” asking the Court to remove certain directors of our company’s Board of Directors. Attached to the motion was a “Consent in Lieu of a Special Meeting of the Shareholders of GoldSpring, Inc.,” dated March 18, 2005 (the “March Consent”). The March Consent was nearly identical to the one adopted by the Parents and others on December 9, 2004. It purported to remove directors Robert T. Faber, John F. Cook, Leslie L. Cahan, Todd S. Brown, Christopher L. Aguilar, Stanley A. Hirschman, and Phillip E. Pierce as directors of our company. The March Consent was signed by shareholders Stephen Parent; Judith Parent; Aztech Environmental Industries, Inc.; Jasmine House, LLC; Frontline 2001, LLC; Jubilee Investment Trust PLC; Ronald M. Haswell; Mark and Jennifer Ward; Walter T. Plummer; Lynn Zollinger; Maia Ray; and Rita Hardy.

F-17

On March 25, 2005, our company and the plaintiffs filed a joint response to the Parents’ Motion for Order. In it, we argued that (1) the shareholders who signed the March Consent did not hold a majority of our company’s stock, which rendered the Consent ineffective; (2) the Parents solicited more than ten shareholders, and therefore violated Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 14a; and (3) the Parents cannot obtain the relief they seek because they have not asserted an affirmative claim in court.

The Parents filed a reply and supplemental reply on March 20, 2005, and April 11, 2005, respectively. In the reply, the Parents argued that the shareholders who signed the Consent do, in fact, hold a majority of the outstanding shares as of the date it was executed, and that any shares issued after that date are not to be counted. They also denied having solicited more than ten persons and denied any obligation to state an affirmative claim before seeking the relief asked for in their motion. In their supplemental reply, the Parents referred to our company’s recent Form 8-K filing (the “8-K”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the 8-K, we disclosed that our company had issued (1) 59,203,918 shares of restricted common stock in connection with the Settlement Agreement Regarding Failure to File a Registration Statement; (2) six secured convertible notes in an aggregate amount of $6,584,005 in connection with the Settlement Agreement Regarding Mandatory Redemption Payment; and (3) convertible notes in the amount of $403,175 in connection with the Settlement Agreement Regarding Failure to deliver shares due upon conversion. The Parents contended that the transactions referred to in the 8-K constituted an unfair dilution of the “non-Merriman shareholders’” stock holdings.

On April 20, 2005, we filed a Supplemental Notice to inform the Court that Messrs. Gasch and Medhi do not support the March Consent. In addition, we informed the Court that Mr. Gasch had signed a Declaration that (1) Mr. Gasch never agreed to serve on the proposed board of directors contemplated by the March Consent, (2) that Mr. Gasch does not support the March Consent and, if the March Consent constituted a valid shareholder resolution (which we do not believe) Mr. Gasch would immediately vote to reinstate the entire Board of Directors as it currently exists, (3) Mr. Gasch denounces and rescinds the purported Director’s Consent Resolutions dated December 10, 2004 and no longer supports any of the resolutions or purported corporate actions contemplated in that purported consent, and (4) Mr. Gasch has terminated Gust Rosenfeld as his counsel because he no longer wishes to be associated with or jointed represented by Mr. Parent. Mr. Medhi also informed us that he resigned as a director of our Board of Directors as currently constituted and as a member of the board of directors designated by earlier consent resolution. We informed the Court that these developments constitute additional reasons to deny the Parents’ motion.

On January 23, 2006, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit issued a Memorandum disposition in the matter of Faber v. Parent, reversing the Preliminary Injunction, which had been granted by the United States District Court for the District of Arizona on February 15, 2005 for Mr. Parent’s failure to comply with the requirements of Rule 52(a). The Court of Appeals ordered that the injunction shall remain intact for a reasonable period of time not to exceed 90 days or until an earlier date on which the district court enters a succeeding preliminary injunction. The Court of Appeals remanded the case to the district court to allow the district court to conduct further proceedings, which may include issuing a new preliminary injunction.

April 18, 2006 Order

On April 18, 2006, the United States District Court for the District of Arizona issued an Order Granting a Preliminary Injunction in favor of the Plaintiff which finally provided firm direction on several of the matters which were the subject of motions described above. The Order accomplished the following:

F-18

(i) it stayed the implementation of the Consent Resolutions purportedly passed on December 9, 2004 to effect the attempted takeover of the Company by Stephen Parent’s group;

(ii) it denied Defendants’ motion for an Order removing seven current directors from Goldspring’s Board (which would have had the effect of allowing Parent to rescind the refinancing transaction dated November 30, 2004 with the Merriman investors); and

(iii) it granted GoldSpring’s Motion for an Order requiring the law firm of Gust Rosenfeld PLC to provide a detailed accounting of the unreturned portion of the $250,000 retainer (namely $166,096.62), given to Gust Rosenfeld PLC by Mr. Parent in December 2004.

In August 2006, Defendants Steve and Judy Parent filed a notice of appeal from the Court’s order denying defendants’ motion for a new trial on the Preliminary Injunction Order to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Defendants Steve and Judy have filed their initial brief, and Plaintiffs’ reply brief is due to be filed by the end of November 2006. The Ninth Circuit will presumably schedule oral argument after the appeal is fully briefed, which may occur as early as January 2007.

Degerstrom Suit

On April 11, 2006, in the First Judicial District Court, Storey County, Nevada, wherein N.A. Degerstrom, Inc. (“Degerstrom”) sued the Company on various counts, including breach of contract, quantum merit, foreclosure of mechanic's lien, and assertion that the Degerstrom lien has priority over all other liens on the Plum Mine property. The plaintiff claims damages in excess of $806,000 plus interest. The Company subsequently answered the Complaint and counterclaimed for breach of contract, breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and for negligence, alleging damages in excess of $10,000.

The lawsuit arises out of a dispute as to how much the Company owes the Degerstrom for services provided. Pursuant to a December 27, 2005 agreement, the parties agreed that the amount to be paid by the Company to Degerstrom would be subject to volume reconciliation by aerial survey. According to Company management, pursuant to prepared aerial and ground surveys, the Company has been over-billed for amounts of ore and waste which have been hauled by Degerstrom. The results of the surveys are to be presented to the Court as evidence as to the Company’s affirmative defenses that it does not owe the amounts claimed by Degerstrom.

Additionally, the Company has what it believes to be valid counterclaims, arising out of activities of Degerstrom, including, but not limited to, negligent crushing of ore, failure to accurately measure and charge for waste and ore hauled and crushed, and failure to adequately man the job and provide sufficient equipment. These activities, as alleged in the Counterclaim, resulted in damages to the Company in excess of $10,000.

Degerstrom filed a mechanic's lien against the property of Plum, and at the time of filing of the Complaint, filed and recorded a lis pendens against the property of Plum based upon Degerstrom's claim. Counsel has advised management that the Company may challenge the lis pendens by asserting that the lis pendens is based upon a mechanic's lien which is overstated. However, the time is not ripe for the bringing of such a motion until the survey results have been presented and analyzed. Alternatively, Plum may request the court to establish a bond in an amount that would secure, pending litigation, Degerstrom's mechanic's lien claim. Typically, the court would charge one and one-half times the amount it found to be the mechanic's lien claim.

Management believes the ground and aerial surveys support a much lower amount of ore and waste which was processed by Degerstrom than is alleged in the Complaint, and if the Court accepts that volume reconciliation would be as established by such surveys (as is established in the written documentation between the parties), there is a reasonable probability of success in reduction, if not elimination, of the amount claimed by Degerstrom. However, until the Court rules on the method of volume reconciliation, it is premature to predict the probability of likelihood of success on the merits.

F-19

During the third quarter, there was little activity in this lawsuit, other than the beginning of discovery by the parties.

SALE OF ASSETS

On March 21, 2006, the Company completed the sale of its Canadian subsidiaries, Clear Hills Iron Ltd. and Peace River Energy Ltd. to CaNev Resources, a Canadian Corporation. The assets divested in the transaction include 32 industrial (non-energy) mineral permits covering approximately 800 square miles in northern Alberta, Canada. In consideration for the assets, GoldSpring will receive CDN$1.1 million. CDN$100,000 of the sales price will be paid in cash, and the balance will be paid through a three percent production royalty.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

We have an employment agreement with Robert T. Faber extending through August 2009. The employment agreement provides for Mr. Faber to serve as our Chief Financial Officer and was not modified after Mr. Faber was appointed President and Chief Executive Officer. The employment agreement provides for base compensation of $120,000 per year, subject to increases to up to $200,000 per year if our company achieves designated revenue levels. The employment agreement also provides for incentive compensation as determined by our board of directors. In addition, the employment agreement provides for Mr. Faber to be granted options to purchase shares of our common stock at prices ranging from $.50 to $2.00 per share. Mr. Faber is entitled to a use of a company car, contributions to a 401(k) plan, and life insurance coverage.

The employment agreement with Mr. Faber contains a covenant not to compete with our company for a period of two years immediately following termination of employment. We may terminate Mr. Faber for “cause” as defined in the employment agreement. We will be required to pay Mr. Faber’s compensation during the term of the agreement if we terminate him without cause.

NOTE 7 - NOTE FINANCINGS

Convertible Debentures-Investors

We completed a private placement of securities transaction during March 2004 (the “March Offering”). In connection with the offering, we received gross proceeds of $10 million from a group of accredited institutional and individual investors. Subsequent to the closing of the March Offering, we failed to meet certain provisions of the offering that required for us to provide for an effective registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

As a result, and effective November 30, 2004, we restructured the private placement transaction and entered into a new subscription agreement. In connection with the restructuring, we exchanged 8% convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $11.1 million and four-year warrants to purchase approximately 27.8 million shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.20 per share, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, for 21,739,129 shares of common stock and 21,739,129 warrants to purchase shares of common stock issued in the March Offering. The principal amount of the convertible notes consist of the original $10.0 million investment plus approximately $1.1 million of accrued penalties associated with the delay in effectiveness of our registration statement covering the resale of the shares of common stock held by the investors. (See Notes 9 and 12).

The 8% convertible notes mature in November 2006. We must make monthly payments of 102% of 1/20^th of the initial principal amount, together with accrued interest. We have the option to repay such amounts in shares of our common stock at a conversion rate equal to 85% of the average of the five lowest closing bid prices of our common stock during the 20 trading days preceding each payment date. We may prepay the outstanding principal amount by paying the holders of the notes 115% of the then-outstanding principal amount. Each holder of notes may convert the notes into shares of common stock at an initial conversion price of $0.20 per share, which is subject to anti-dilution adjustments. During the first 20 days following the closing date, the conversion price may be reduced to a price equal to 70% of the average of the five lowest closing prices of our common stock during the 20 trading days preceding the closing date.

F-20

On April 1, 2005, we failed to make our first payment on the notes and were in default of the terms of the convertible notes. On December 20, 2004, we received notice from holders of approximately $3.8 million of convertible notes of their intention to convert into shares of our common stock. The applicable conversion rate was approximately $0.11 per share, and we were obligated to issue 33,817,594 shares of our common stock. Under the terms of the subscription agreement, we had three business days following receipt of the notice of conversion of notes to deliver to the note holders’ free-trading common stock certificates (the “Delivery Date”). Although the shares were due to be delivered in December 2004, they were not delivered until 2005. As a result of our failure to deliver shares, we were subject to liquidated damages that were settled by the issuance of notes payable to the investors.

$1,900,000 Convertible Debenture Financing

On August 23 - 24, 2006, the Company formally entered into an agreement with several investors to loan $1,900,000 to the Company. The notes evidencing the loan bear interest at the rate of 12% per annum, payable monthly on the first of each month commencing October 1, 2006, along with 1/24 of the principal amount of such notes on each repayment date and were issued between May 18, 2006 - August 24, 2006, with the second quarter notes being treated as “bridge debt” until the loan agreement was formally signed.. The notes are also convertible into Common Stock at a 50% discount to market until a registration statement registering the Common Stock underlying the notes is effective and at a 15% discount to market thereafter. As additional consideration, the investors are to be issued a total of 20,000,000 warrants to purchase common stock at exercise prices based upon the same formulas as for conversion of the amounts due under the notes. The notes are secured by a lien on the assets of Goldspring, Inc. and a pledge of all of the interests in Plum Mine Special Purpose, LLC, which owns the Plum Mine operation. To date, $1,200,000 of the $1,900,000 has been funded by the investors.

The notes issued are as follows:

·	Winfield Debenture Payable issued 5/18/06 in the face amount of $300,000

·	Winfield Debenture Payable issued 6/21/06 in the face amount of $300,000

·	Winfield Debenture Payable issued 8/23/06 in the face amount of $300,000

·	Longview Debenture Payable issued 8/24/06 in the face amount of $300,000

In addition, the investors were issued the warrants based upon the following formula (20,000,000)($face amount of debenture/$1,900,000).

The holder shall have the right, but not the obligation, to convert all or any portion of the then aggregate outstanding principal amount of the notes into shares of common stock.

The proceeds from the financing transactions were allocated to the debt features and to the warrants based upon their fair values. After the latter allocations, the remaining value, if any, is allocated to the notes on the financial statements.

The debt discount is being accreted using the effective interest method over the term of the notes. The value of the discount on the converted notes on the books is being accreted over the term of the notes. As of the dates of issuance, the Company accreted $579,787 of debt discount, and as of September 30, 2006, the Company accreted $533,233 of debt discount. The accretion of debt discount amount is adjusted in direct proportion to the conversions of debt to stock during the period.

F-21

Warrants Issued

The estimated fair value of the warrants was $99,411 at the date of issue and $56,617 as of September 30, 2006. These amounts have been classified as a derivative instrument and recorded as a liability on the Company's balance sheet in accordance with current authoritative guidance. The estimated fair value of the warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The model uses several assumptions including: historical stock price volatility, risk-free interest rate, remaining time till maturity, and the closing price of the Company's common stock to determine estimated fair value of the derivative liability.

In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments, the Company is required to adjust the carrying value of the instrument to its fair value at each balance sheet date and recognize any change since the prior balance sheet date as a component of Other Income (Expense). The recorded value of such warrants can fluctuate significantly based on fluctuations in the market value of the underlying securities of the issuer of the warrants, as well as in the volatility of the stock price during the term used for observation and the term remaining for the warrants.

Debt Features

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended ("SFAS 133"), the debt features provision (collectively, the features) contained in the terms governing the Notes are not clearly and closely related to the characteristics of the Notes. Accordingly, the features qualified as embedded derivative instruments at issuance and, because they do not qualify for any scope exception within SFAS 133, they were required by SFAS 133 to be accounted for separately from the debt instrument and recorded as derivative financial instruments.

Pursuant to the terms of the Notes, these notes are convertible at the option of the holder, at anytime on or prior to maturity. The debt features represents an embedded derivative that is required to be accounted for apart from the underlying Notes. At issuance of the Notes, the debt features had an estimated initial fair value of $488,512.

In subsequent periods, if the price of the security changes, the embedded derivative financial instrument related to the debt features will be adjusted to the fair value with the corresponding charge or credit to other expense or income. The estimated fair value of the debt features was determined using the probability weighted average expected cash flows / Lattice Model with the closing price on original date of issuance, a conversion price based on the terms of the respective contract, a period based on the terms of the notes, and a volatility factor on the date of issuance. At September 30, 2006, the estimated fair value of the debt features was approximately $416,980.

The recorded value of the debt features related to the Notes can fluctuate significantly based on fluctuations in the fair value of the Company's common stock, as well as in the volatility of the stock price during the term used for observation and the term remaining for the warrants.

The significant fluctuations can create significant income and expense items on the financial statements of the company.

Because the terms of the convertible notes (“notes”) require such classification, the accounting rules required additional convertible notes and non-employee warrants to also be classified as liabilities, regardless of the terms of the new notes and / or warrants. This presumption has been made due to the company no longer having the control to physical or net share settle subsequent convertible instruments because it is tainted by the terms of the notes. Were the notes to not have contained those terms or even if the transactions were not entered into, it could have altered the treatment of the other notes and the conversion features of the latter agreement may have resulted in a different accounting treatment from the liability classification. The notes and warrants, as well as any subsequent convertible notes or warrants, will be treated as derivative liabilities until all such provisions are settled. Derivative financial instruments are initially measured at their fair value. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to income. For option-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value the derivative instruments. To the extent that the initial fair values of the freestanding and/or bifurcated derivative instrument liabilities exceed the total proceeds received, an immediate charge to income is recognized, in order to initially record the derivative instrument liabilities at their fair value.

F-22

The discount from the face value of the convertible debt or equity instruments resulting from allocating some or all of the proceeds to the derivative instruments, together with the stated interest on the instrument, is amortized over the life of the instrument through periodic charges to income, usually using the effective interest method. When the instrument is convertible preferred stock, the dividends payable are recognized as they accrue and, together with the periodic amortization of the discount, are charged directly to retained earnings.

The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed periodically, including at the end of each reporting period. If re-classification is required, the fair value of the derivative instrument, as of the determination date, is re-classified. Any previous charges or credits to income for changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument are not reversed. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

Convertible Debentures-Mandatory Redemption Payment

The failure to deliver the shares by the Delivery Date resulted in liquidated damages of 1% of the note principal amount being converted per business day after the Delivery Date. We did not deliver the share certificates within the period required in the subscription agreement and as a result, in March of 2005, John V. Winfield, a major shareholder and note holder elected to demand payment of approximately $6.9 million pursuant to the mandatory redemption payment provisions of the subscription agreement and forfeit his right to receive the shares in favor of the payment.

On June 30, 2005, we entered into a Settlement Agreement (“Settlement”) with the Mr. Winfield and agreed to convert the mandatory redemption payment into six Convertible Debentures (“the Debentures”). Accordingly, we accrued a liability for approximately $6.9 million and reduced our paid-in-capital account for approximately $3.5 million (See Note 12). The Debentures are subject to various covenants and conditions, including, but not limited to anti-dilution rights and protective rights.

The Debentures accrue interest at 12% per annum and are payable in monthly installments of principal and interest over a 24 month period with the remaining entire balance of unpaid principal and interest due on June 30, 2007. The debentures are subject to the following terms:

Conversion Rights

The Debentures are convertible, in all or in part, into shares of our common stock (“Conversion Shares”) at any time. The conversion price shall be 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; and (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; provided, however, until the effective date of the registration statement (see below), the conversion price shall be fifty-percent (50%) 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 (i) $0.1131 and (ii) the conversion price of the convertible notes (See Note 6), as adjusted from time to time, whichever is lower.

F-23

Security Agreement

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.

Mandatory Registration Rights

The terms of the Debenture agreement require that we must file with the Securities and Exchange Commission on a Form SB-2 registration statement, or such other form that we are eligible to use, to register the Conversion Shares, together with any other shares of Common stock issuable hereunder for resale and distribution under the 1933 and cause to be filed not later than April 30, 2005 and declared effective not later than June 30, 2005. If we fail to make effective a registration statement we are subject to liquidated damages, an amount equal to two percent (2%) for each thirty (30) days or part thereof, thereafter of the principal amount of the Debenture remaining unconverted and purchase price of Conversion Shares issued upon conversion of the Debenture owned of record by the holder. The Company must pay the liquidated damages in cash or an amount equal to two hundred percent of such cash liquidated damages if paid in additional shares of registered un-legended free trading shares of common stock. As of December 31, 2005 we had failed to make any monthly payments on the debentures and are in default.

Accordingly, at September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2005, we classified the following convertible debentures as current liabilities as follows:

	September 30, 2006		September 30, 2005

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.

The following discussion addresses matters we consider important for an understanding of our financial condition and results of operations as of and for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, as well as our future results.

Overview

We are a North American precious metals mining company with an operating gold and silver test mine in northern Nevada. Our Company was formed in mid-2003, and we acquired the Plum property in November 2003. In our relatively short history, we secured permits, built an infrastructure and brought the Plum exploration project into test mining production. During 2005, we acquired additional properties around the Plum project in Northern Nevada, expanding our footprint and creating opportunities for exploration. We are an emerging company, looking to build on our success through the acquisition of other mineral properties in North America with reserves and exploration potential that can be efficiently put into near-term production. Our objectives are to increase production; increase reserves through exploration and acquisitions; expand our footprint at the Plum mine; and maximize cash flow and return for our shareholders.

We started to reap the benefits of the operational improvement program that we initiated in 2005, including our first reported net profit for the first quarter of 2006. This program began with a complete review of every facet of the operation to insure maximum efficiency. We have nearly completed our review of the various processes and have implemented several changes, which have increased efficiencies. Most recently, we have made the decision to take over our mining operations, which are currently being performed by an outside contractor. Although we had planned to have our mining operation completely in place by the end of May 2006, delays in financing have dictated that we rely on contract mining assistance through the end of November. However, when we do take over operations, based on our mine plan and internal calculations and reach our targeted production numbers, we expect our production cost to be less than $350 per ounce.

Our first quarter production was hampered by inclement weather in northern Nevada in late 2005 and early 2006. Our Plum Mine received fourteen inches of rain between mid-December and the end of February, filling our leach ponds, including our one hundred year storm pond, nearly to capacity. The high levels of effluents in the ponds prevented us from adding additional reagents to our leach pads. Because we were unable to add new material to the pad and put it under leach, we ceased mining operations in early-January. Our team at the mine did an excellent job, in a challenging situation, to insure the environmental integrity of our operation. The team worked closely with the regulatory authorities throughout this process. In order to resume mining and processing with the necessary reagents, the level of effluents in the ponds must be reduced through evaporation. The necessary level was reached in late June, which is when mining resumed.

Due to the five month cessation of mining activities, there was little ore to produce in the second quarter, and therefore revenues in the second quarter were markedly lower in the first quarter, when there was still a supply of ore, mined in the fourth quarter of 2005, to process and sell. A lapse in mining typically leads to reduced saleable materials in the next fiscal quarter as the mining-processing-sales cycle is approximately 60 - 90 days. However, as mining activities recommenced in late June, the fourth quarter should yield comparatively favorable revenue results. The third quarter marked the recommencement of mining activities. Recent focus has including (i) ramping up of mining and processing on a continued basis; (ii) stockpiling of ore for processing during inclement weather; and (iii) transition preparation for December 1, 2006 takeover of mining operations by the Company’s own staff. Furthermore, significant fluid management steps have been taken to avoid another shut down of activity as experienced during the first five months of 2006.

Our Company has been involved in litigation with its founder since late 2004 when he attempted a takeover of the Company through a purported consent solicitation in violation of federal securities laws. On April 18, 2006, the United States District Court for the District of Arizona issued an Order Granting a Preliminary Injunction, which stayed the implementation of the Consent Resolutions purportedly passed on December 9, 2004 (a subsequent Motion by the Defendants for reconsideration of the Order was denied on July 31, 2006). The Court’s decision also provides clarity to our investors and shareholders regarding control and direction of the Company. The Defendants did appeal the denial of the reconsideration of the order, and the appeal is pending in the 9^th Circuit. The Company is using its best efforts to not permit the ongoing appeal to distract attention from operations and is fairly confident that the appeal will be denied which should put an end to the litigation. Nonetheless, we continue to seek financing to meet our working capital needs and fuel our growth.

Our Company has also been sued by a former mining contractor to the Company for unpaid services in an alleged amount exceeding $800,000. The Company’s management believes that the results of aerial and ground survey (the method stated in writings between the parties for measuring amounts owed to Degerstrom for services rendered) demonstrate that Degerstrom’s claims are substantially overstated and will present the survey results to the Court to substantiate its position. Further detail is set forth in Item 1 of Part II below.

There are also several specific risk factors attendant to operation of a gold mining concern which bear repetition here due to events in 2006, although this is not intended to be a full blown list of risk factors (and we encourage you to review our October 11, 2005 424(b)(3) for a further discussion of risk factors attendant to our business):

Weather - As disclosed in this Quarterly Report, excessive rains has caused material delays in our ability to operate as high levels of water in our leaching ponds and flooding have prevented us from being able to leach materials, a necessary part of the gold production process. Excessive snows, which can occur in the area in which the Plum Mine is located, would also hamper mining as the Plum Mine is an open pit mine.

Current Political Instability in the Middle East - Commodities such as gold tend to have widely fluctuating markets, and the current problems in areas such as Lebanon and Iraq, which are causing much political and economic instability internationally, may very well be a contributing factor to the volatile gold market.

Results of Operations and Operational Plan

Operational Improvements

Our Plum Mine, which is located in Storey County, Nevada, went into test mining production in late third quarter 2004. We did not and have not since established reserves on this exploration project; therefore, all of our activities on this property are considered test mining or exploratory in nature. One of our top priorities is to improve efficiencies and increase test mining production at our Plum Mine. In March 2005, we initiated a program to improve the operational efficiency of our mining operation. As part of this program, we consolidated our corporate office with the Plum Mine office. We also made improvements to our processing plant and took over crushing operations from our third-party contractor, reducing costs and increasing our control over the crushing process. Our improvement program continued throughout the year and into 2006. In November 2005, we retained licensed mining engineer Jim Golden (who became COO in 2006) to conduct a comprehensive review of all aspects of the Plum Mine operation, including the overall mine plan, with the objective of further improving efficiency, increasing production, and reducing costs. Our process improvement team, led by Jim Golden, is to be commended for their excellent progress to date.

Furthermore, Mine Development and Associates of Reno, Nevada has nearly completed a detailed mine plan and a reserve report for the Plum Mine. In the third quarter, management determined that its limited resources would be better allocated to mining activities rather than to the completion of the feasibility report; hence, a decision was made to delay completion of the feasibility report until such time as sufficient resources exist. In a further effort to reduce costs and increase efficiencies, we have decided to take over the mining operations from our outside contractor. We expect to complete this transition by the end of November 2006. We originally targeted May 2006 to take over mining activities, but weather problems caused delays in production , thus causing the transition to be rescheduled to November / December 2006. We have successfully negotiated a mutual working arrangement to cover those activities through November 2006, and we paid the contractor a $350,000 deposit for the initiation of mining and as a partial down payment for acquisition of the contractor’s mining fleet at the end of November 2006. When we do take over operations, based on our mine plan and internal calculations and hit our targeted production numbers, we expect our production cost to be less than $350 per ounce. All of the aforementioned factors should yield more consistent and sustainable operational results.

In the third quarter, we continued to implement changes to our crushing system, including:

·	Changing of die designs for our primary crusher to further reduce the nominal size of material placed on the leach pad resulting in better metal recovery.
·	Refurbishment of our conveyor stacking system reducing downtime and improving efficiencies.

·	Purchase of a previously leased Cat 980B Front End Loader for feeding the crushing plant, further reducing operating costs at the crusher.

The third quarter also brought changes to the processing systems, including:

·	Modification of the fluid management system to ensure normal plant operations during the Winter and Spring of 2007.
·	Initiation of steps to replace the electric furnace in the refinery with an efficient propane gas furnace. This change, which is scheduled to be completed in the fourth quarter, will reduce electrical demand and downtime due to electrical part failures.

Operational Details

The third quarter recommencement of processing, after a five month hiatus in the ability to add cyanide to the leach pad, yielded 656 ounces of gold and 2,829 ounces of silver sold.

The major operational goal for the third quarter was to stabilize mining operations and prepare for the takeover of mining from the third-party contractor on December 1, 2006. During the quarter, the two 35 ton Wabco hauling vehicles were replaced by four 50 ton Euclid hauling vehicles allowing us to increase the daily tons mined. In September, we concluded an agreement with our contractor to purchase the mining fleet consisting of these four R-50 Euclid Trucks, one Cat 988B Front End Loader and one Drilltech D25k Blast Hole Drill, thus rounding out a major portion of our equipment needs. As part of the purchase, the contractor is responsible for the cost of all maintenance and repairs performed on the equipment prior to December 1, 2006. We believe this planned change will stabilize the mining activities, reduce costs, maximize efficiencies and enhance production. Furthermore, we are cross training our employees to be able to perform both crushing and mining operations in an effort to reduce duplication of personnel and improve overall productivity.

In September 2006, we began pre-stripping an estimated 200,000 tons of waste from the “Lucerne” Pit. We expect drilling, and blasting to remove this waste material from the “Lucerne” Pit to continue through the balance of the fourth quarter. By January 2007, we anticipate reaching the mineralized zone which should ensure mining at a sustainable and predictable rate for the next few years based on the most recent mine plan received from Mine Development Associates of Reno, Nevada. All of our efforts in exploration, mining, crushing, and processing are focused on attaining our goal to reach a sustainable level of mining to reach production of 1,000 ounces of gold per month beginning in later part of the first quarter or the second quarter of 2007. We continue to upgrade personnel and deploy professional consultants on an as-need basis to improve our operations with the longer term effect of goal achievement.

We continue to look for opportunities to expand our footprint and leverage our assets at the Plum mine. We are in ongoing negotiations with a company for which we would crush and process ores from their nearby pit on a “put or pay” contract basis. We anticipate completing negotiations and entering into a formal contract before the end of December, 2006.

Exploration Details

The Company continues to make favorable progress, with the help of its consultants and staff, in exploration efforts with respect to its claims and Comstock Mining District. Ongoing mapping of the Plum Mine pit confirms that a large amount of mineralized material should exist between the Billie the Kid Pit and the Lucerne Pit, where there has been no previous drilling. We will be converting our Blast Hole Drill to reverse circulation drilling capabilities (which allow for drill holes to depths of 1,000 feet) to enhance exploration capabilities.

Placer Claims, Water Rights, and Mineral Permits

We originally became a mineral company through an acquisition of unpatented placer mineral claims and the Big Mike copper claims in June 2003 from Ecovery, Inc. Specifically, that acquisition provided us with a number of Nevada-based placer claims, including the Gold Canyon and Spring Valley claims, and 17 unpatented lode claims called the Big Mike Copper property. This acquisition did not include any real property rights. In November 2003, we acquired the Plum mine facility as well as water rights that are usable at Plum Mine and the Gold Canyon and Spring Valley placer claims. In a separate transaction, we obtained mineral permits in Alberta, Canada in May 2004. The Big Mike Copper property is located in Pershing County, Nevada. It covers a total of 310 acres and consists of 17 unpatented lode claims and one placer claim. We have not established any proven or probable reserves that meet the requirements of SEC Industry Guide 7. The property includes an open pit, mineralized material in a stockpile and waste dumps. At the end of September 2006, it entered into a ten year lease with a local company, controlled by a former GoldSpring director, for a 10 year lease of all of its mining claims for its Big Mike copper mine. The Lease calls for a $50,000 initial payment, which is scheduled to be made at the beginning of this week to cover royalty payments due for the first two years of the lease term. Additionally, the lessee must pay Goldspring $75,000 when a production permit is awarded, and $125,000 when commercial mining commences. Additionally, the lessee agrees to a work expenditure of $300,000 for environmental and engineering matters in the first twelve months of the lease During the term of the lease, Goldspring will also receive a production royalty of between 3% and 5% of net returns from copper mining, dependent on the price of copper.

During the first nine months of 2006, we sold 1779 ounces of gold at an average price of $572.42 per ounce compared to gold sales of 8057 ounces at an average price of $576.61 per ounce for the same period of 2005. Our gold production for the first nine months of 2006 was adversely impacted by the weather conditions from mid December 2005 through February 2006. The accumulation of precipitation during this period filled our leach ponds, including our one hundred year storm pond, to capacity preventing us from adding additional reagents to our leach pads, which slowed production. In early January, we ceased mining since we could not efficiently leach any new material further reducing production. We did not have significant production in the second quarter as in the first because the cessation of mining in January left us with no raw product available, and all of our stockpiled ore was depleted during the first quarter of 2006.

Test Mining Expenses in the third quarter of 2006 were $392,570 less than for the third quarter of 2005. Test Mining Expenses for the first nine months of 2006 were $2,486,091 less than for the first nine months of 2005. In early 2005 we initiated an operational improvement program. This program focused on enhancing the efficiencies of each of our processes as well as insuring we had the right personnel. We believe we are now starting to experience the benefits of the operational improvement program. We expect to realize further improvements in the upcoming months.

General and administrative expenses in the third quarter of 2006 were $9,889 more than in the third quarter of 2005. General and administrative expenses for the first nine months of 2006 were $410,206 less than for the first nine months of 2005. The marked decrease in general and administrative expenses for the nine month comparison period, with essential equal numbers for the three month comparison period, is based primarily upon the relocation of our corporate office to the Plum Mine and the consolidation of functions reducing the number of corporate employees, which took effect in the third quarter of 2005.

The $312,436 variance in consulting and professional services between the period consisting of the first nine months of 2006 compared to the period consisting of the first nine months of 2005 reflects a reduction in legal fees. In the first quarter 2005, we expensed approximately $180,000 of legal fees incurred by our Company’s founder during his purported takeover of our Company in December 2004.

The liquidated damages included in the tables above stemmed from Non-Registration Events Provisions in our November 2004 Subscription Agreement (“Non-Registration Provisions”). The Non-Registration Provisions required us to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission no later than December 30, 2004 and to cause the registration statement to be declared effective no later than February 14, 2005. Our former Chief Executive Officer withdrew our pending registration statement and did not submit a new registration statement. His failure to submit the registration statement to the SEC by December 30, 2004 triggered liquidated damages to be incurred at a rate of two percent (2%) of the principal amount of the Debenture for each thirty day period or part thereof for not having an effective Registration Statement. We have the option to pay the liquidated damages in cash or common stock. If we choose to pay in stock, we are required to pay 200% of the liquidated damages amount. Because our Company does not currently have sufficient funds to pay in cash, we intend to meet this obligation by issuing common shares. Thus, the total amount of liquidated damages recorded for the third quarter represents 200% of the cash total. The liquidated damages ceased when our registration statement became effective on October 3, 2005.

Interest expense for the third quarter of 2006 was $230,348 lower than the same quarter of 2005, and interest expense for the first nine months of 2006 was $437,374 higher than for the first nine months of 2005. This variance reflects the issuance of $6,885,184 interest bearing note issued in March 2005 pursuant to the November 2004 subscription agreement. Specifically, we received a mandatory redemption payment demand relating to our failure to deliver stock certificates representing 29,573,803 shares of our common stock. Under the mandatory redemption payment provisions of the November 2004 subscription agreement, we repurchased the 29,573,803 shares of common stock at $0.23 per share, or $6,801,975. We issued a secured convertible note in the aggregate amount of $6,885,184 with a 18% interest rate for the 29,573,803 shares and accrued interest. The incremental interest recognized on this note for the third quarter 2006 was approximately $274,765. At September 30, 2006, our Company had approximately $13,099,476 of outstanding debt bearing an average interest rate of 21.6%, and at September 30, 2005, our Company had approximately $15,800,537 of outstanding debt bearing an average interest rate of 22%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We continue to actively seek additional capital to meet our working capital needs and to grow our business. We recognize that our cash resources are limited. Our continued existence and plans for future growth depend on our ability to obtain the capital necessary to operate, through the generation of revenue or the issuance of additional debt or equity. In 2005, we raised an aggregate of $1,575,000 through five financing transactions. In the first nine months of 2006, we completed several additional financing transactions, which provided us with $1,600,000 in funding. While this additional funding may meet our immediate working capital needs, if we are not able to generate sufficient revenues and cash flows or obtain additional or alternative funding, we will be unable to continue as a going concern. We have yet to realize an operating profit at our Plum Mine location. As disclosed in the report of our independent registered public accounting firm in our financial statements included in this Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005, our recurring losses and negative cash flow from operations raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Furthermore, the litigation in which our Company has been involved since late 2004 has strained the Company’s financial resources. (See Part II, Item 1, “Legal Proceedings,” for a detailed discussion.) If we are unable to resolve the litigation in the near future, the ongoing legal costs may impact our ability to continue as a going concern. In the first quarter of 2006, we completed additional financing transactions, which provided us with $400,000 in funding. In consideration for the funding, we issued promissory notes with a term of ninety (90) days and an interest rate of sixteen percent (16%) per annum. The default interest rate on the note is twenty-two percent (22%). The funds were used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

In April 2006, we obtained a financing commitment in the amount of $2.2 million from a group of our existing investors, which ended in a $1.9 million financing of which $1,200,000 has been advanced. We expect to close the transaction in the next 90 days, subject to completion of certain closing conditions. Upon closing, the funds will be deployed to expand our Plum Mine operation in northern Nevada. Specifically, we plan to take over the mining operations from our contract miner and have committed $500,000 to conduct further exploration at the Plum property. We believe, with this additional financing, that we have sufficient resources to operate throughout the next twelve months.

Our operations are significantly affected by changes in the market price of gold. Gold prices can fluctuate widely and may be affected by numerous factors, such as expectations for inflation, levels of interest rates, currency exchange rates, central bank sales, forward selling or other hedging activities, demand for precious metals, global or regional political and economic crises, and production costs in major gold-producing regions, such as South Africa and the former Soviet Union. The aggregate effect of these factors, all of which are beyond our control, is impossible for us to predict. The demand for and supply of gold affect gold prices, but not necessarily in the same manner as supply and demand affect the prices of other commodities. The supply of gold consists of a combination of new mineral production and existing stocks of bullion and fabricated gold held by governments, public and private financial institutions, industrial organizations, and private individuals. As the amount produced in any single year constitutes a small portion of the total potential supply of gold, normal variations in current production do not have a significant impact on the supply of gold or on its price. If gold prices decline substantially, it could adversely affect the realizable value of our assets and potential future results of operations and cash flow.

Item 3. Controls and Procedures

Based on the most recent evaluation, which was completed as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-QSB, we believe our company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in this report is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We do not believe that any internal control deficiencies due to lack of segregated accounting functions and limited accounting staff constitute material weaknesses because of the use of accounting personnel from the consolidated offices with our Plum Mine operation and use of outside consultants, along with oversight from our Audit Committee. We are also in the process of taking further corrective measures to remedy the deficiencies in future periods.

There have been no changes during the quarter ended September 30, 2006 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 materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over our financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The State Court Case

In the same ruling, Judge Baca stated that “there are serious conflicts in the continued representation of the Parents in this lawsuit by Gust Rosenfeld.” The Court was referring to the fact that Parent had hired Gust Rosenfeld as our counsel after purportedly taking over our company on December 9, 2004. The Court therefore ordered further briefing on whether Gust Rosenfeld should be disqualified as the Parents’ counsel. Shortly thereafter, on March 28, 2005, Gust Rosenfeld voluntarily withdrew as the Parents’ counsel. The Parents have since retained new counsel. The discovery process is currently ongoing. Mr. Treminio has since been dismissed from the suit in accordance with the terms of a prior settlement agreement between Mr. Treminio and GoldSpring, Inc.. Mr. Shaw filed an answer, in pro per, on April 6, 2005, and generally denied the allegations of the complaint. Mr. Haswell, Mr. Doyle and Ecovery, Inc. have filed answers and generally denied the allegations of the complaint.

At the end of June 2006, the Company settled its claims against Mr. Shaw for a $75,000 settlement and was in negotiations with another defendant for settlement. Mr. Shaw satisfied his financial obligations, related to the terms and conditions of the settlement agreement, in early November 2006.

During the third quarter, the Company entered into a settlement with another defendant, requiring a cash payment, which has not yet been paid.

The Federal Court Case

Background

The Temporary Restraining Order

The Preliminary Injunction and Notice of Appeal

In concluding that the Preliminary Injunction should issue, the Court stated, “The Court is specifically concerned about the irreparable injury that would occur to GoldSpring and its shareholders and investors if Defendants [Mr. Parent, his wife, Jerrie W. Gasch, and Purnendu K. Rana Medhi] are permitted to manage the corporation. There is substantial evidence of Parent’s wrongdoing in his former position as CEO of GoldSpring, such as his misappropriation of corporate assets for his personal use. The Defendants’ attempt to rescind the [financing] transaction that was approved at the Board of Directors meeting on November 30, 2004 could adversely impact GoldSpring’s ability to meet its obligations under the agreement. Rescission of the refinancing transaction would prove detrimental for GoldSpring because the corporation would be forced to pay the $200,000.00 monthly penalty for failing to file the S-1 Registration with the SEC within ninety (90) days of the March 22, 2004 agreement between GoldSpring and [various investors]. This penalty had accrued to over $1,000,000.00 as of November 30, 2004.”

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Not applicable.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities

In connection with our acquisition of the Plum Mining Company, LLC, we issued a promissory note to the seller for $1 million (the balance of the purchase price). At September 30, 2006, the outstanding balance on the Note was $400,000. We are in default on this Note.

Under the terms of our November 2004 subscription agreement, we issued 8% convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of $11.1 million to an investor group. Under the terms of the notes, our first principal and interest repayment was scheduled for April 1, 2005. We are in default on these notes. The default interest rate is 12%.

In March 2005, we issued a secured convertible note in the aggregate amount of $6,885,184 with a 12% interest rate for the 29,573,803 shares and accrued interest due under the mandatory redemption payment provisions of our November 2004 subscription agreement. Payments on this note were scheduled to begin on April 1, 2005. We are in default on this note, causing the interest rate to increase to the default rate of 18%.

On July 15, 2005, we completed a financing transaction, which provided us with $800,000 in funding. In consideration for the financing, we issued promissory notes with a face value of $1.2 million, reflecting an original issue discount of thirty-three and one-third (33.3%) percent. The term of the notes is two years, with an optional extension of one year at the option of the investor. The annual interest rate on the notes is 15% of the face value and is payable monthly. On September 28, 2005, we completed another financing transaction under the same terms and conditions as the July 2005 financing. The September 2005 financing provided us with $200,000 in funding. We have not made the monthly interest payments on these notes, and thus we are in default. The default interest rate on these notes is 22%.

During the fourth quarter of 2005, we completed three financing transactions, which provided us with a total of $575,000 in funding. In consideration for the financing, we issued promissory notes with a term of ninety (90) days and an interest rate of sixteen percent (16%) per annum. The default interest rate on the notes is twenty-two percent (22%). These notes had a maturity date of May 15, 2006, at which time all outstanding principal and interest became due.

We are working with the above-referenced note holders to cure the defaults. The above referenced notes, including interest, have a total value of approximately $ 9,,041,625 at September 30, 2006. While failure to reach a resolution would likely cause us to seek external funding in order to meet our obligations, there can be no assurance that such funding would be available.
