Financial Statements.

Introduction to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

The interim consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by Golden River Resources Corporation (“Golden River Resources” or the “Company”) without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2011.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments and consolidating entries, necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of the Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2011, the results of its consolidated operations for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, and the changes in its consolidated cash flows for the six month periods ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, have been included. The results of consolidated operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

UNLESS OTHERWISE INDICATED, ALL FINANCIAL INFORMATION PRESENTED IS IN CANADIAN DOLLARS.

GOLDEN RIVER RESOURCES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

(An Exploration Stage Company)

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2011

(1) Organisation

Golden River Resources Corporation (“Golden River Resources” or the “Company”) is incorporated in the State of Delaware. The principal shareholders of Golden River Resources are companies associated with the President of Golden River Resources and his spouse. These companies owned 96.6% of Golden River Resources as of December 31, 2011.

In May 2002, the Company incorporated a new wholly owned subsidiary, Golden Bull Resources Corporation (formerly 4075251 Canada Inc), a corporation incorporated under the laws of Canada. Golden Bull Resources Corporation is undertaking exploration activities for gold in Canada.

Golden River Resources, as part of its business strategy, is engaged in gold and base metal exploration activity in Canada. On March 17, 2009, the Company announced that it had reached agreement with Acadian Mining Corporation (TSX: ADA) ("Acadian") to subscribe in a private placement transaction giving Golden River Resources a 68.67% holding of Acadian. As of December 31, 2011, Golden River Resources held 38,994,020 common shares in Acadian for a 71.96% interest. (See Note 14 for a discussion of changes in the Company’s ownership interest in Acadian after December 31, 2011.) On November 17, 2010, Acadian consolidated its outstanding common shares on the basis of one post-consolidated share for every ten pre-consolidated shares as approved by Acadian shareholders.

The financial statements presented herein have been prepared on a consolidated basis to include the accounts of Golden River Resources, Acadian and its other subsidiaries (collectively “the Company”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, Golden River Resources is an exploration stage company which has not yet commenced revenue producing operations and has sustained recurring losses since inception, all of which raises substantial doubt as to its ability to continue as a going concern.

In addition, Golden River Resources has historically relied on loans and advances from corporations affiliated with the President of Golden River Resources and fund raising through the sale of equity instruments. Based on discussions with these affiliate companies, the Company believes this source of funding will continue to be available.

Other than the arrangements noted above, the Company has not confirmed any other arrangement for ongoing funding. The Company’s ability to continue operations through fiscal 2012 is dependent upon future funding from capital raisings, or its ability to commence revenue producing operations and positive cash flows.

(2) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2011, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income — Presentation of Comprehensive Income. ASU No. 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of stockholders’ equity. It requires an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, Comprehensive Income — Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in ASU 2011-05, to defer the effective date of the specific requirement to present items that are reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income to net income alongside their respective components of net income and other comprehensive income. All other provisions of this update, which are to be applied retrospectively, are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company does not expect this guidance to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In September 2011, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-08, Testing Goodwill for Impairment. This ASU is intended to simplify how entities test goodwill for impairment. ASU 2011-08 permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is “more likely than not” that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test described in Topic 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other. The more-likely-than-not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than 50%. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company does not expect this guidance to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In December 2011, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet — Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. ASU 2011-11 requires entities to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements of financial instruments and derivative instruments and will be applied retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. ASU 2011-11 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company does not expect this guidance to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

(3) Affiliate Transactions

Golden River Resources advances to and receives advances from various affiliates. All advances between consolidated affiliates are eliminated on consolidation.

The Company has entered into an agreement with AXIS Consultants Pty Ltd (“AXIS”) to provide geological, management and administration services to the Company. AXIS is affiliated through common management. The Company is one of ten affiliated companies to which AXIS provides services. Each of the companies has some common Directors, officers and shareholders. Golden River Resources holds a 9.09% interest in AXIS at a cost of A$1 and is accounted for under the cost method. Any profits generated by AXIS are returned to its shareholders in the form of dividends.

During the six months ended December 31, 2010, AXIS advanced the Company CDN$602,633 and provided services in accordance with the service agreement of CDN$66,607. During the six months ended December 31, 2010, the Company repaid CDN$1,622,400. During the six months ended December 31, 2010, AXIS did not charge interest. The amount owed to AXIS at June 30, 2011 was CDN$54,242 and is reflected in non-current liabilities – advances from affiliates.

During the six months ended December 31, 2011, AXIS advanced the Company CDN$231,582 and provided services in accordance with the service agreement of CDN$126,701. The amount owed to AXIS at December 31, 2011 was CDN$412,505 and is reflected in current liabilities – advances from affiliates. During the six months ended December 31, 2011, AXIS did not charge interest. The amount owing to AXIS has been repaid in the third quarter of 2012 and accordingly has been reclassified from non-current liabilities to current liabilities at December 31, 2011.

During fiscal 2010, the Company sold shares of common stock to Northern Capital Resources Corp, a Nevada corporation (“NCRC”), pursuant to certain subscription agreements. Mr Joseph Gutnick, the Company’s President, is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of NCRC. As of December 31, 2011, NCRC owned approximately 96.6% of the outstanding common stock of the Company.

(4) Issue of Options under Stock Option Plan

Acadian

At the annual and special meeting of shareholders of Acadian held on June 14, 2007, the shareholders adopted a 10% "rolling" incentive stock option plan (the "Plan"). Options granted under the Plan have a five-year term. Options are granted at a price no lower than the market price of the common shares at the time of the grant. The rules of the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") provide that all unallocated options issuable under a "rolling" stock option plan must be approved by shareholders every three years after institution of the stock option plan. The plan was approved at the Annual General Meeting of Acadian held June 24, 2010. In determining the stock-based compensation expense, in fiscal 2011, the fair value of the options issued were estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the weighted average assumptions used of risk-free interest rate of 1.50%, expected dividend yield of 0.00% expected stock price volatility of 62%, expected life of options of 5 years and grant date fair value CDN$0.30.

(5) (Loss) per share

The Company calculates profit/(loss) per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share. Basic profit/(loss) per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

The following table reconciles the diluted weighted average shares outstanding used for the computation:

	Six months ended December 31
Diluted weighted average shares		2011 ‘000	2010 ‘000
Basic		56,807	24,435
Effect of employee stock based awards		-	-
Diluted weighted average shares outstanding		56,807	24,435

Options to acquire 485,000 shares of common stock were not included in the diluted weighted average shares outstanding as such effects would be anti-dilutive.

(6) Commitments

In July 2011, the Company entered into a lease for an office premises with minimum annual lease payments of CDN$112,682. The lease begins on July 1, 2011 and ends on June 30, 2016 with a right to terminate after June 30, 2013 for a penalty equal to four months base rent.

The Company is committed to minimum annual lease payments of CDN$103,607 on its office premises until October 2013. Effective September 1, 2010, the Company has sublet the office premises for a rental equivalent of the lease commitment.

Future minimum contractual obligations under operating leases are as follows:

	CDN$
2012		108,144
2013		216,289
2014		147,217
2015		112,682
2016		112,682
		697,014

The Company has an obligation to spend CDN$611,252 on its exploration properties or make payments in lieu of expenditure during fiscal 2012 to maintain its properties.

Total rent expense incurred by the Company amounted to CDN$45,986 for the six months ended December 31, 2011 and CDN$29,341 for the six months ended December 31, 2010.

Acadian has an obligation to spend CDN$234,000 and issue 29,118 Acadian shares on its exploration properties during fiscal 2012 to maintain its properties.

(7) Fair Value Of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, receivables, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued expenses and advances from affiliates. The carrying amounts of receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their respective fair values because of the short maturities of these expenses. The fair values of advances from affiliates are not practicable to estimate as no similar market exists for these instruments and as it does not have a specified date of repayment.

(8) Investments/Subsidiaries

At June 30, 2011, the Company’s holding in Acadian was 71.48%. During the six months ended December 31, 2011, the Company purchased an additional 259,500 shares in Acadian through on-market purchases in the Toronto Stock Exchange, increasing its holding in Acadian to 71.96% at December 31, 2011. The cost to the Company was CDN$79,985. As a result of this transaction, the Company recorded a CDN$168,000 adjustment to additional paid in capital and CDN$248,000 to non-controlling interest, representing the difference between the amount paid for such additional shares and the carry amount of the investment. Subsequent to December 31, 2011, the Company sold a portion of its holding in Acadian – refer footnote 14.

The amount of revenue of Acadian for the six months ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 included in the consolidated statement of operations were CDN$nil and CDN$nil and the amount of loss was CDN$2,168,000 and CDN$2,927,000 respectively.

(9) Mineral Rights

The fair-value of the mineral rights acquired in the acquisition of Acadian was based upon a valuation report prepared by an investment banking firm with substantial experience in merger and acquisition transactions including provision of fairness opinions and valuations. Accordingly, the Company had attributed a fair value of CDN$43,790,000 to mineral rights. On May 31, 2011, Acadian sold 100% of its shares in ScoZinc Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary, the attributed fair value of CDN$4,026,855 to ScoZinc mineral rights was included in the assets sold.

Following the end of the December 2011 quarter, the Company made an assessment of the carrying value of the mineral rights of Acadian and concluded that it did not expect to be able to realize the carrying value. This assessment took into account various factors including the exploration results from Acadian’s exploration programs since the Company’s initial acquisition of shares in Acadian and the transaction noted in note 14, and the market capitalization of Acadian. As a result, the Company impaired the carrying value of the mineral rights and has recorded an impairment of mineral rights of CDN$33,221,000 and a benefit to deferred tax of CDN$6,373,000 in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations.

The carrying value of mineral rights at December 31, 2011 is CDN$6,542,000 (2010:CDN$39,763,000).

Under US GAAP, exploration expenditure is expensed to the consolidated statement of operations as incurred, unless there is a mineral reserve on the property.

(10) Cash held for Site Remediation

Acadian has agreed with the relevant authorities in Canada to remediate exploration and mine sites to an agreed status at the end of exploration and/or mining operations at the sites. Currently, Acadian has CDN$109,000 on deposit with the relevant authorities in Canada to cover the cost of this remediation work.

(11) Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost. The Company records depreciation and amortization, when appropriate, using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Additions, major renewals and replacements that increase the property's useful life are capitalized. Assets sold or retired, together with the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the appropriate accounts and the resultant gain or loss is included in net income (loss).

	At December 31, 2011							At June 30, 2011
	Cost		Accumulated Depreciation			Net Book Value		Cost		Accumulated Depreciation			Net Book Value
	CDN$		CDN$			CDN$		CDN$		CDN$			CDN$

Office		283,871		(28,533	)		255,338		260,119		(21,986	)		238,133

The depreciation expense for the six months ended December 31, 2011 amounted to CDN$86,000 and for the six months ended December 31, 2010 amounted to CDN$253,000. Net book value of assets disposed of for the six months ended December 31, 2011 amounted to CDN$221,000.

(12) Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The Company follows ASC Topic 220 Comprehensive Income (“ASC 220”). ASC 220 requires a company to report comprehensive profit/(loss) and its components in a full set of financial statements. Comprehensive profit/(loss) is the change in equity during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources, such as unrealized gains (losses) on foreign currency translation adjustments. Changes in unrealized foreign currency translation adjustments during the six months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 amounted to CDN$nil and CDN$nil respectively. Accordingly, comprehensive (loss) for the six months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 amounted to CDN$(19,379,000) and CDN$(2,752,000) respectively.

(13) Income Taxes

The Company recognises deferred tax assets or liabilities for the expected future consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amount of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

The Company’s net deferred taxes at December 31, 2011 is summarized as follows:

	USA CDN$000s			Canada CDN$000s			Total CDN$000s

Deferred tax assets

The Company’s net deferred taxes at June 30, 2011 is summarized as follows:

	USA CDN$000s			Canada CDN$000s			Total CDN$000s

Deferred tax assets
Net operating loss carry-forward		1,923			218			2,141

Total available net operating loss carry-forwards in the United States, which are subject to limitations, amount to approximately CDN$5,700,000 at June 30, 2011 and expire in years 2023 through 2030. Net operating loss carry-forwards in Canada do not have a definite expiration date and amounted to CDN$4,869,000.

Included in accounts payable and accrued expenses is an amount of CDN$257,428 being an estimated liability to the IRS in relation to late filing of prior year tax returns. The Company has estimated the potential maximum liability and is making representations to the IRS in relation to the quantum of this liability.

As part of the transactions noted on notes 9 and 14, the Company recorded a benefit to deferred tax of CDN$6,373,000.

(14) Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated significant events subsequent to the balance sheet date and has determined that there were no subsequent events or transactions except as described below which would require recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.

On January 31, 2012, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement with an arms-length third party to sell 10,783,145 shares in Acadian at a price of CDN$0.15 for proceeds of CDN$1,617,472. Closing occurred on February 6, 2012. Following closing, the Company holds 52.01% of Acadian. As part of the agreement, the Company provided certain representations and warranties to the purchaser in relation to Acadian, and indemnified the purchaser in respect to the items subject to the representations and warranties, if the cumulative financial effect of the indemnity exceeds CDN$300,000. Further, one of the Company’s nominees to the board of directors of Acadian has resigned and has been replaced by a nominee of the purchaser.

On February 7, 2012 the Company paid the current amount owing to AXIS in full.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

FUND COSTS CONVERSION

The consolidated statements of operations and other financial and operating data contained elsewhere here in and the consolidated balance sheets and financial results have been reflected in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated.

The following table shows the average rate of exchange of the Canadian dollar as compared to the US dollar and Australian dollar during the periods indicated:

6 months ended December 31, 2010	CDN$1.00 = US$1.0001
6 months ended December 31, 2011	CDN$1.00 = US$.98044
6 months ended December 31, 2010	CDN$1.00 = A$0.98420
6 months ended December 31, 2011	CDN$1.00 = A$0.96344

Prior to July 1, 2009, the Company’s functional and reporting currency was the Australian dollar and its subsidiary, Golden Bull Resources Corporation’s functional currency was the Canadian dollar. However, as a result of the purchase of the controlling interest in Acadian Mining Corporation in Canada in July 2009, the Company’s fiscal 2010 revenue and expenses are primarily denominated in Canadian dollars (CDN$). ASC Topic 830 Foreign Currency Matters states that the functional currency of an entity is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. Accordingly the Company determined that from July 1, 2009 the functional and reporting currency of the Company is the Canadian dollar. Assets, liabilities and portions of equity were translated at the rate of exchange at July 1, 2009 and portions of equity were translated at historical exchange rates. Revenue and expenses were translated at actual rates. Translation gains and losses were included as part of accumulated other comprehensive loss.

The Company’s financial statements are prepared in Canadian dollars (CDN$). A number of the costs and expenses of the Company are incurred in US and Australian dollars and the conversion of these costs to CDN$ means that the comparison of the three and six months ended December 31, 2011 to the three and six months ended December 31, 2010 does not always present a true comparison.

GENERAL

Golden River Resources as part of its business strategy is engaged in gold exploration activity in Canada. As part of this strategy in fiscal 2009, the Company acquired an interest in Acadian Mining Corporation (“Acadian”), a Canadian gold, lead and zinc exploration corporation. Effective May 31, 2011, Acadian sold its lead and zinc assets, including Scotia Mine for CDN$10 million. During the six months ended December 31, 2011, the Company purchased an additional 259,500 shares in Acadian at a cost of CDN$79,985. As at December 31, 2011, Golden River Resources held a 71.96% interest in Acadian. On January 31, 2012, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement with an arms-length third party to sell 10,783,145 shares in Acadian at a price of CDN$0.15 for proceeds of CDN$1,617,472. Closing occurred on February 6, 2012. Following closing, the Company holds 52.01% of Acadian.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended December 31, 2011 vs. Three Months Ended December 31, 2010

As a result of the sale by Acadian of all of the shares in ScoZinc Limited on May 31, 2011, there is a lack of comparability between the Company’s results for the three months ended December 31, 2011 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2010.

Costs and expenses decreased from CDN$1,371,000 in the three months ended December 31, 2010 to CDN$870,000 in the three months ended December 31, 2011.

	The decrease in costs and expenses is a net result of:
a)	an increase in stock based compensation from CDN$nil for the three months ended December 31, 2010 to CDN$14,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2011 as a result of options issued to Directors and employees of Acadian which are being progressively expensed over the vesting period. See Note 4 concerning the Company’s outstanding stock options.
b)	a decrease in the exploration expenditure expense from CDN$761,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2010 to CDN$383,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2011. For Golden River Resources, the costs related to consultants providing exploration reviews and advice on the Slave and Committee Bay properties as no field work was undertaken during the three months ended December 31, 2010 or 2011 by the Company. Included within exploration expenditure expense for the three months ended December 31, 2011 is CDN$346,000 for work undertaken by Acadian for field exploration activities on its gold properties. The decrease in exploration expenditure during the three months ended December 31, 2011 was primarily due to completion by Acadian of a drill program on the Fifteen Mile project. Included within exploration expenditure expense for the three months ended December 31, 2010 is CDN$220,000 for certain maintenance work undertaken by Acadian on its Scotia mine which was on care and maintenance until its sale on May 31, 2011. There is no comparable amount for the three months ended December 31, 2011.

c)	a decrease in depreciation and amortization expense from CDN$128,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2010 to CDN$60,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2011. The depreciation and amortization expense relates to the activities of Acadian. For the three months ending December 31, 2010 depreciation and amortization for Acadian included amortization of the ScoZinc mine and mill and equipment.
d)	a decrease in interest expense/(income) from CDN$(107,000) for the three months ended December 31, 2010 to CDN$nil for the three months ended December 31, 2011. The interest (income for the three months ended December 31, 2010 relates to an accrual for interest payable by Acadian on a third party liability which was subsequently reversed following confirmation of the amount owing by the third party. During May 2011 the debt was settled and satisfied.
e)	a decrease in legal, accounting and professional expense from CDN$165,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2010 to CDN$49,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2011. Included within legal, accounting and professional expense for the three months ended December 31, 2011 is CDN$24,000 for costs associated with the Company’s SEC compliance obligations and CDN$25,000 for Acadian which relates to general legal work, audit and stock transfer costs. The decrease is primarily the result of a reduction in secretarial services, financial reporting reviews and taxation services.
f)	a decrease in administrative costs including salaries from CDN$424,000 in the three months ended December 31, 2010 to CDN$364,000 in the three months ended December 31, 2011. Included within administrative expense for the three months ended December 31, 2011 is CDN$306,000 for Acadian compared to CDN$368,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2010 , which includes head office salaries, rent, office related costs and travel. The decrease relates to a decrease in head office salaries, office and statutory filing costs.

As a result of the foregoing, the loss from operations decreased from CDN$1,371,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2010 to CDN$870,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2011.

The Company recorded a foreign currency exchange loss of CDN$4,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and CDN$21,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2010, primarily due to revaluation of advances from affiliates which are denominated in Australian dollars.

Following the end of the December 2011 quarter, the Company made an assessment of the carrying value of the mineral rights of Acadian and concluded that it did not expect to be able to realize the carrying value. This assessment took into account various factors including the exploration results from Acadian’s exploration programs since the Company’s initial acquisition of shares in Acadian, and the market capitalization of Acadian. As a result, the Company impaired the carrying value of the mineral rights and has recorded an impairment of mineral rights of CDN$33,221,000 (2010: CDN$nil), in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations.

The Company recorded a profit on disposal of plant and equipment of CDN$48,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2010 for which there was no comparable amount for the three months ended December 31, 2011. Acadian disposed of surplus equipment.

The Company recorded a write-off of plant and equipment of CDN$170,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2010 for which there was no comparable amount for the three months ended December 31, 2011. Acadian wrote down the carrying value of plant and equipment after a physical review.

The loss before income taxes and equity in (losses) of unconsolidated entities for the three months ended December 31, 2011 was CDN$34,095,000 compared to CDN$1,548,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2010.

The Company has recorded a benefit to deferred tax of CDN$(6,333,000) for the three months ended December 31, 2011 as a result of impairment of mineral rights compared to a provision for tax of CDN$nil for the three months ended December 31, 2010.

The loss before equity in (losses) of unconsolidated entities for the three months ended December 31, 2011 was CDN$27,762,000 compared to CDN$1,548,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2010.

The net loss was CDN$27,762,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2011 compared to CDN$1,548,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2010.

The share of the loss attributable to the non-controlling interests of Acadian amounted to CDN$9,527,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2011 compared to CDN$347,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2010. At December 31, 2010, the Company’s interest in Acadian was 71.48% and at December 31, 2011, its interest was 71.96%. Further, the impairment of mineral rights referred to above results in a share of the loss of non-controlling interest of Acadian.

The net loss attributable to Golden River Resources stockholders amounted to CDN$18,235,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2011 compared to CDN$1,201,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2010.

Six Months Ended December 31, 2011 vs. Six Months Ended December 31, 2010.

As a result of the sale by Acadian of all of the shares in ScoZinc Limited on May 31, 2011, there is a lack of comparability between the Company’s results for the six months ended December 31, 2011 compared to the six months ended December 31, 2010.

Costs and expenses decreased from CDN$3,174,000 in the six months ended December 31, 2010 to CDN$2,436,000 in the six months ended December 31, 2011.

	The decrease in costs and expenses is a net result of:
a)	an increase in stock based compensation from CDN$nil for the six months ended December 31, 2010 to CDN$35,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2011 as a result of options issued to Directors and staff of Acadian which are being progressively expensed over the vesting period. See Note 4 concerning the Company’s outstanding stock options.
g)	a decrease in the exploration expenditure expense from CDN$1,590,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2010 to CDN$1,403,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2011. For Golden River Resources, the costs related to consultants providing exploration reviews and advice on the Slave and Committee Bay properties as no field work was undertaken during the six months ended December 31, 2010 or 2011 by the Company. Included within exploration expenditure expense for the six months ended December 31, 2011 is CDN$1,279,000 for work undertaken by Acadian for field exploration activities on its gold properties. The decrease in exploration expenditure during the six months ended December 31, 2011 was primarily due to Acadian conducting a drilling program on the Fifteen Mile project. Included within exploration expenditure expense for the six months ended December 31, 2010 is CDN$680,000 for certain maintenance work undertaken by Acadian on its Scotia mine which was on care and maintenance until its sale on May 31, 2011. There is no comparable amount for the three months ended December 31, 2011.
b)	a decrease in depreciation and amortization expense from CDN$253,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2010 to CDN$86,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2011. The depreciation and amortization expense relates to the activities of Acadian. For the six months ending December 31, 2010 depreciation and amortization for Acadian included amortization of the ScoZinc mine and mill and equipment, which was sold in May 2011.
c)	a decrease in interest expense/(income) from CDN$(65,000) for the six months ended December 31, 2010 to CDN$3,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2011. The interest (income) for the six months ended December 31, 2010 relates to an accrual for interest payable by Acadian on a third party liability which was subsequently reversed following confirmation of the amount owing by the third party. During May 2011 the debt was settled and satisfied.
d)	a decrease in legal, accounting and professional expense from CDN$401,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2010 to CDN$160,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2011. Included within legal, accounting and professional expense for the six months ended December 31, 2011 is CDN$49,000 for costs associated with the Company’s SEC compliance obligations and CDN$111,000 for Acadian which relates to general legal work, audit and stock transfer costs. The decrease is primarily the result of a reduction in secretarial services, financial reporting reviews and taxation services.
e)	a decrease in administrative costs including salaries from CDN$995,000 in the six months ended December 31, 2010 to CDN$749,000 in the six months ended December 31, 2011. Included within administrative expense for the six months ended December 31, 2011 is CDN$321,000 for Acadian compared to CDN$940,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2010, which includes head office salaries, rent, office related costs and travel. The decrease relates to the reduction in head office salaries, office and statutory filing costs.

As a result of the foregoing, the loss from operations decreased from CDN$3,174,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2010 to CDN$2,436,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2011.

The Company recorded a foreign currency exchange loss of CDN$20,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2011 and CDN$147,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2010, primarily due to revaluation of advances from affiliates which are denominated in Australian dollars.

Following the end of the December 2011 quarter, the Company made an assessment of the carrying value of the mineral rights of Acadian and concluded that it did not expect to be able to realize the carrying value. This assessment took into account various factors including the exploration results from Acadian’s exploration programs since the Company’s initial acquisition of shares in Acadian, and the market capitalization of Acadian. As a result, the Company impaired the carrying value of the mineral rights and has recorded an impairment of mineral rights of CDN$33,221,000 (2010: CDN$nil), in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations.

The Company recorded a profit on disposal of plant and equipment of CDN$48,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2010 for which there was no comparable amount for the six months ended December 31, 2011. Acadian disposed of surplus equipment.

The net loss was CDN$29,304,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2011 compared to CDN$3,547,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2010.

The share of the loss attributable to the non-controlling interests of Acadian amounted to CDN$9,925,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2011 compared to CDN$795,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2010.

Further, the impairment of mineral rights referred to above results in a share of the loss of non-controlling interest of Acadian.

The net loss attributable to Golden River Resources stockholders amounted to CDN$19,379,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2011 compared to CDN$2,752,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the six months ended December 31, 2011, net cash used by operating activities was CDN$2,514,000 primarily consisting of the net loss of CDN$29,304,000; the impairment of mineral rights of CDN$33,221,000 and a corresponding benefit for the adjustment to deferred tax of CDN$6,373,000; a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of CDN$234,000; net cash provided by investing activities of CDN$70,000 being the net cost of the additional investment in Acadian of CDN$80,000; proceeds for the sale of land of CDN$221,000; purchase of plant and equipment of CDN$71,000; and net cash used in financing activities of CDN$542,000 consisting of borrowings and repayments to affiliates.

As of December 31, 2011, the Company had short-term obligations of CDN$1,007,000 comprising accounts payable and accrued expenses.

We have CDN$804,000 in cash at December 31, 2011. On January 31, 2012, the Company entered into an arms-length share purchase agreement with a third party to sell 10,783,145 shares in Acadian at a price of CDN$0.15 for proceeds of CDN$1,617,472. Closing occurred on February 6, 2012.

Since fiscal 2004, we have undertaken field exploration programs on our Committee Bay and Slave properties. In relation to the Committee Bay properties, this was more than the minimum required expenditure and as a result, we have not had a legal obligation to undertake further exploration on these properties. However, our properties are prospective for gold and other minerals and commencing in fiscal 2013, we will be required to bring the Committee Bay properties to lease status by completing a survey and making application for lease status. In respect to the Slave properties, the Company will be required to incur expenditure or make payments in lieu of expenditure of CDN$553,780 in respect of 2011 and CDN$611,252 prior to the end of 2012. Further, Acadian has an obligation to spend amounts on its mineral properties in order to maintain the leases and is required to spend CDN$234,000 and issue 29,118 Acadian shares on gold exploration properties during fiscal 2012. Our budget for general and administration costs for fiscal 2012 is CDN$500,000 and Acadian’s budget for the general and administration costs for fiscal 2012 is CDN$1,530,000. We are currently investigating capital raising opportunities which may be in the form of either equity or debt, to provide funding for working capital purposes and future exploration programs. There can be no assurance that such capital raising will be successful, or that even if an offer of financing was received by the Company, it is on terms acceptable to the Company.

Information Regarding Forward Looking Statements

This report and other reports, as well as other written and oral statements made or released by us, may contain forward looking statements. Forward looking statements are statements that describe, or that are based on, our current expectations, estimates, projections and beliefs. Forward looking statements are based on assumptions made by us, and on information currently available to us. Forward-looking statements describe our expectations today of what we believe is most likely to occur or may be reasonably achievable in the future, but such statements do not predict or assure any future occurrence and may turn out to be wrong. You can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. The words "believe," "anticipate," "intend," "expect," "estimate," "project", "predict", "hope", "should", "may", and "will", other words and expressions that have similar meanings, and variations of such words and expressions, among others, usually are intended to help identify forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements are subject to both known and unknown risks and uncertainties and can be affected by inaccurate assumptions we might make. Risks, uncertainties and inaccurate assumptions could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or those currently anticipated. Consequently, no forward-looking statement can be guaranteed. The potential risks and uncertainties that could affect forward looking statements include, but are not limited to:

●		the risks of mineral exploration stage projects,
●		political risks in foreign countries,
●		risks associated with environmental and other regulatory matters,
●		exploration risks and competitors,
●		the volatility of gold and other mineral prices,
●		availability of financing,
●		movements in foreign exchange rates,
●		increased competition, governmental regulation,
●		performance of information systems,
●		ability of the Company to hire, train and retain qualified employees,
●		the availability of sufficient, transportation, power and water resources, and
●		our ability to enter into key exploration and supply agreements and the performance of contract counterparties.

In addition, other risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and factors that could affect the Company's results and prospects are described in this report, and in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, including under the heading “Risk Factors” and elsewhere and may further be described in the Company's prior and future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and other written and oral statements made or released by the Company.

We caution you not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this document. The information contained in this report is current only as of its date, and we assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

The Company reports in CDN$ and holds cash in Australian dollars. At December 31, 2011, this amounted to CDN$804,000. A change in the exchange rate between the A$ and the CDN$ will have an effect on the amounts reported in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and create a foreign exchange gain or loss. A movement of 1% in the A$ versus the CDN$ exchange rate will have a CDN$8,000 effect on the consolidated balance sheet and statement of operations.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

(a)	Disclosure Controls and Procedures

	Our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, such principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report at the reasonable level of assurance.

(b)	Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

	There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the second quarter of fiscal 2012 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting.
(c)	Other
	We believe that a controls system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. Therefore, a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide such reasonable assurance of achieving our desired control objectives, and our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded, as of December 31, 2011, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in achieving that level of reasonable assurance.
