Quarterly Report


Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations.

As used in this Form 10-Q, references to the "Company," "we," "our" or "us" refer to Stargold Mines, Inc., unless the context otherwise indicates.

Forward-Looking Statements

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements, which are included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q (the "Report"). This Report contains forward-looking statements which relate to future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may", "should", "expects", "plans", "anticipates", "believes", "estimates", "predicts", "potential" or "continue" or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our or our industry's actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the direction of our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions or other future performance suggested herein. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.

Overview

We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on May 21, 2003 under the name Sockeye Seafood Group, Inc. On November 13, 2006, we entered into a Plan and Agreement of Merger with our wholly-owned subsidiary, Stargold Mines, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Subsidiary"). The Subsidiary had no assets or liabilities and no previous operating history; it was formed by us on November 8, 2006 for the sole purpose of entering into the merger.

The merger was consummated on November 23, 2006. Pursuant to the Articles of Merger, we also changed our name from "Sockeye Seafood Group, Inc." to "Stargold Mines, Inc."

Effective as of November 23, 2006, we implemented a one for forty (1:40) forward stock split and increased our authorized shares of common stock on a corresponding basis. The number of shares of our common stock increased on a one for forty (1:40) basis, from 25,000,000 shares, par value $0.001, to 1,000,000,000 shares, par value $0.0001.

As disclosed in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on December 5, 2006, on November 30, 2006, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with UniverCompany Limited Liability Company, a Russian limited liability society ("UniverCompany"), and the shareholder of UniverCompany, Evgeny Belchenko (the "UniverCompany Shareholder")(collectively, the "Univer Agreement"). Pursuant to the Univer Agreement, the Company agreed to purchase from the UniverCompany Shareholder 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of UniverCompany in exchange for 41,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock. On May 15, 2007, the Univer Agreement was amended to reduce the consideration to 15,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock.

In March 2008, the Company completed its acquisition of UniverCompany and acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of UniverCompany in accordance with the UniverAgreement, as amended. UniverCompany is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

Proposed Business

UniverCompany holds licenses to develop and extract natural resources of gold, copper, tin and lead located in the Siberian and Far Eastern Federal Districts of Russia. As a result, we own rights to the "Nerchinskie" minerals & metals deposit, which StarGold believes contains significant amounts of gold and silver. The balance of the purchase price for Nerchinskie license of approximately $26 million USD must be paid prior to January 2013. Under an agreement dated December 2006, UniverCompany owns approximately 17% of a "Karalon" deposit and had the option to acquire an additional 63% of the Karalon deposit in return for a payment of $2.8 million USD. However, the Company has been unable to make the required payments under our agreement with Karlaon. Although we have defaulted on those payments, the remaining owners have advised that they have secured a new purchaser and if the transaction is concluded successfully, we will receive our pro rata share of the then purchase price.


In December 2006 we received $1,000,000 gross proceeds from the sale of 1,000,000 units to Hampton Park Capital LLC. Each unit consisted of one share of common stock and one share purchase warrant, exercisable for one share of common stock at an exercise price of US$2.50 for two years from the date of issuance. The $1,000,000 raised by us was lent to UniverCompany on an unsecured basis, with no specific terms for repayment.

In May 2007, the Company received gross proceeds of an aggregate of $500,000 from the sale of 111,111 units of the Company's securities. Each unit consisted of one share of common stock and one half Class A Warrant. Each Class A Warrant is exercisable for one share of common stock at an exercise price of $7.00 for two years from the date of issuance. The units were sold pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.

In June 2007, the Company cancelled 40,000,000 shares of its commons stock which had previously been issued to former directors.

As of the date of this Report, neither the company nor UniverCompany has had any revenues for the current fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 ("2007 Fiscal Year") and the quarter ended March 31, 2008 ("1st Quarter 2008"). Over the next twelve months, we intend to engage in the exploitation of the Nerchinskiye Dump, raise the funds necessary to acquire mining sites and to begin exploration and possible limited exploitation of ore sites and to seek out and possible acquire other ore sites containing precious metals, ;lacer, or other high value minerals.

We anticipate that we will require approximately $11,428,000 for the 12 months ending March 31, 2008 ("1st Quarter 2009") to fund our plans with respect to commencing the exploitation of the Nerchinskiye Dump, the purchase of necessary machinery and equipment to explore mining sites and to haul and process raw materials from Nerchinskiye. Additional funds will be used for performing due diligence, including extensive geologic testing to determine the potential viability of mining sites and other properties being considered for acquisition, general operating expenses, and to start exploration and limited exploitation of mining sites (if acquired). In some cases, exploration will be performed to establish reserves for exploitation by the Company or to assist in the sale of our claims to third parties.

The Company intends to finance its operations by way of equity private
placement.
The following discussion focuses on our property, or goals regarding that
property for the next 12 months and how we intend to accomplish our goals.

We have projected a budget of US $11,428,000:

We intend to finance our activities via brokered or non-brokered private placements during the next twelve months. The amount and conditions precedent to such fund-raising are presently under consideration.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Year ended December 31, 2007 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2006 and Quarter Ended March 31, 2008 Compared to Quarter Ended March 31, 2007

Revenues

We have generated only nominal operating revenues from operations from our inception. We believe we will begin earning revenues in 2008 from actual operation as we transition from a development stage company to that of an active growth stage company. Accordingly, the comparison of current period operating results with those of prior periods is not meaningful.


Costs and Expenses

From our inception through March 31, 2008, we have generated only nominal revenues and have incurred cumulative losses of $829,214. In addition, a significant part of the overall remaining costs are associated principally with compensation to consultants and professional services rendered. Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 increased from $23,262 in the quarter ended March 31, 2007 to $162,796 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, or $139,534. SG&A expenses consisted of accounting, legal, consulting, public relations, startup and organizational expenses, respectively. As a result of the above-mentioned expenses, net losses increased from $23,262 in the quarter ended March 31, 2007 to $243,816 in the quarter ended March 31, 2008, or $220,554.

Going Concern Consideration

Both the Company and UniverCompany have historically incurred losses since inception through December 31, 2007. Through the 1st Quarter 2008, UniverCompany and the Company had a combined comprehensive loss of $243,816. UniverCompany, by itself, incurred comprehensive loss of $1,893,000 during the 2007 Fiscal Year. We sill require additional working capital to develop our business operations. We intend to raise additional working capital through private placements, public offerings, and/or bank financing, although we do not currently have any arrangements in place to effect any such financing and there can be no assurance that we will be able to raise the funds required.

Due to the uncertainty of UniverCompany's ability to meet the operating expenses and the capital expenses noted above, in their report on the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007, UniverCompany's independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph regarding concerns about their ability to continue as a going concern. UniverCompany's financial statements contained additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that lead to this disclosure by UniverCompany's independent auditors.

The continuation of our business is dependent upon obtaining further financing and achieving a profitable level of operations. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current or future stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.

There are no assurances that we will be able to either (1) achieve a level of revenues adequate to generate sufficient cash flow from operations; or (2) obtain additional financing through either private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing necessary to support our working capital requirements. To the extent that funds generated from operations and any private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing are insufficient, we will have to raise additional working capital. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on terms acceptable to us. If adequate working capital is not available we may not increase our operations.

These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 123(R) (the "Share Based Payment") (revised 2004). In addition, in March 2005 the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulleting Topic 14, "Share-Based Payment" (SAB 107) which provides interpretations regarding the interaction between FAS 123(R) and certain SEC rules and regulations and provided the staff's views regarding the valuation of share-based payment arrangements for public companies. FAS 123(R) focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions, including stock option awards. FAS 123(R) revises FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25. FAS
123 (R) will require us to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for stock option awards based on the grant date fair value of such awards. That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, which is usually the vesting period. We will report such costs as part of our salary and benefits expenses. On April 14, 2005, the SEC announced amended compliance dates for SFAS
123(R). The SEC previously required companies to adopt this standard no later than July 1, 2005, but the new rules now require us to adopt FAS 123(R) as of the beginning of the first annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005, which is our fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. Currently, the cumulative effect of initially applying FAS 123(R) has not been determined and is subject to change depending on future events.


Critical Accounting Policies

Our financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("US GAAP"). Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts f assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management's application of accounting policies. We believe that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates and assumptions involved with the following aspects of our financial statements is critical to an understanding of our financials.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

We consider all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.

Financial Instruments

The fair values of accounts payable, accrued liabilities and amounts due to a related party were estimated to approximate their carrying values due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments.

Financial Condition and Results of Operation

For the 2007 Fiscal Year and the 1st Quarter 2008, the Company and UniverCompany had minimal business operations and continued to sustain losses. Our operating expenses consist primarily of administrative costs. The Company used consulting resources to help develop strategy, screen and recruit a key executive, and complete the acquisition of UniverCompany.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements or contractual or commercial commitments.
