Management’s Responsibility
 
To the Shareholders of Emgold Mining Corporation:
 
Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the accompanying condensed interim consolidated financial statements, including responsibility for significant accounting judgments and estimates in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. This responsibility includes selecting appropriate accounting principles and methods, and making decisions affecting the measurement of transactions in which objective judgment is required.
 
In discharging its responsibilities for the integrity and fairness of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements, management designs and maintains the necessary accounting systems and related internal controls to provide reasonable assurance that transactions are authorized, assets are safeguarded and financial records are properly maintained to provide reliable information for the preparation of financial statements.
 
The Board of Directors and the Audit Committee are composed primarily of Directors who are neither management nor employees of the Company. The Board is responsible for overseeing management in the performance of its financial reporting responsibilities. The Board fulfills these responsibilities by reviewing the financial information prepared by management and discussing relevant matters with management and external auditors. The Audit Committee has the responsibility of meeting with management, and external auditors to discuss the internal controls over the financial reporting process, auditing matters and financial reporting issues. The Board is also responsible for recommending the appointment of the Emgold’s external auditors.
 
We draw attention to Note 1 in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements which indicates the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast substantial doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
 
1)  
Nature of operations and going concern
 
Emgold Mining Corporation (“the Company”) is incorporated under the British Columbia Corporations Act and the principal place of business is located at 1010 - 789 West Pender Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 1H2. The Company is in the process of exploring its mineral property interests and has not yet determined whether its mineral property interests contain mineral reserves that are economically recoverable. The Company’s shares are traded on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”) and the OTCQX.
 
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of the accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes the Company’s ability to continue in operation for the foreseeable future and to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations.
 
There are several adverse conditions that cast substantial doubt upon the soundness of this assumption. The Company has negative working capital, has incurred operating losses since inception, has no source of revenue, is unable to self-finance operations and has significant on-going cash requirements to meet its overhead requirements and maintain its mineral interests. Further, the business of mining and exploration involves a high degree of risk and there can be no assurance that current or future exploration programs will result in profitable mining operations. The recoverability of exploration and evaluation assets is dependent upon several factors. These include the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the development of these properties, and future profitable production or proceeds from disposition of mineral properties.
 
For the Company to continue to operate as a going concern it must obtain additional financing; although the Company has been successful in the past at raising funds, there can be no assurance that this will continue in the future.
 
If the going concern assumption were not appropriate for these financial statements then adjustments would be necessary to the carrying value of assets and liabilities, the reported expenses and the statement of financial position classifications used and such adjustments could be material.

Basis of preparation – Statement of Compliance
 
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting. The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments classified as financial instruments at fair value through profit and loss, which are stated at their fair value. In addition, these financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting except for cash flow information.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
 
Since the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures required by the IFRS for annual financial statements, they should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2013.
 
The policies set out were consistently applied to all the periods presented unless otherwise noted below. The preparation of condensed interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with IAS 1 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in applying the Company’s accounting policies.
 
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, profit and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
 
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and further periods if the review affects both current and future periods.
 
The functional and reporting currency of the Company is the United States dollar.
 
3)
Summary of significant accounting policies
 
The accounting policies and methods of computation followed in preparing these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are the same as those followed in preparing the most recent audited annual consolidated financial statements, except as follows. For a summary of significant accounting policies, please refer to the Company’s audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2013.
 
4) 
Critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty
 
In the application of the Company’s accounting policies management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount and classification of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
 
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revisions affect only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods, if the revision affects both current and future periods.
 
The following are the critical judgments and areas involving estimates, that management have made in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amount recognized in the consolidated financial statements.
 
a)  
Critical judgments in applying accounting policies
 
Going concern assumption
 
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of the accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes the Company’s ability to continue in operation for the foreseeable future and to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations. There are several adverse conditions that cast substantial doubt upon the soundness of this assumption. Refer to note 1 for more details.

Determination of functional currency
 
In accordance with IAS 21, The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates, management determined that the functional currency of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries is the US dollar.
 
Mineral Properties
 
The company owns land and surface rights, which are part of the Idaho-Maryland property, valued as part of exploration and evaluation assets on statement of financial position at $490,508. This land is adjacent to the property covered by the BET agreement that expired on 01 February 2013. The BET Agreement, signed in 2002, originally had a five year term and has been extended three times. The Company is currently in discussions with the BET Trust to extend and/or negotiate a new agreement associated with the Project (note 8). The company assessed that no impairment was necessary on the land and surface rights that they own as they are still negotiating to extend the lease. If the lease is not extended the land will still have real estate value and can be disposed of as a non-mining real estate transaction.
 
On 04 September 2013, Emgold announced it had sold 18 acres of land in Grass Valley for proceeds of $450,000. This acreage was considered to be non-core property and not necessary for development of the Idaho-Maryland Project. The sale reduced the Company’s land holdings in Grass Valley from 52 to 34 acres.
 
b)  
Key sources of estimation uncertainty
 
Decommissioning liability
 
The estimated costs are reviewed annually by management including changes in the discount rate, estimated timing of decommissioning costs, or cost estimates.
 
Share based payments and fair value of warrants
 
Management assesses the fair value of stock options granted in accordance with the accounting policy stated in note 3 of the Company’s 31 December 2013 audited annual consolidated financial statements. The fair value of stock options granted is measured using the Black-Scholes option valuation model (“BkS”), which was created for use in estimating the fair value of freely tradable, fully transferable options. The Company’s stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and changes in the highly subjective input assumptions can materially affect the calculated values. The fair value of stock options granted using the BkS do not necessarily provide a reliable measure of the fair value of the Company’s stock option awards. The same model is used by the Company in order to arrive at a fair value for the issuance of warrants.
 
Income taxes
 
Provisions for income taxes are made using the best estimate of the amount expected to be paid based on a qualitative assessment of all relevant factors. The Company reviews the adequacy of these provisions at the end of the reporting period. However, it is possible that at some future date an additional liability could result from audits by taxing authorities. Where the final outcome of these tax-related matters is different from the amounts that were originally recorded, such differences will affect the tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.
 
Exploration and evaluation assets
 
The Company makes certain estimates and assumptions regarding the recoverability of the carrying values of exploration and evaluation assets. These assumptions are changed when conditions exist that indicate the carrying value may be impaired, at which time an impairment loss is recorded.
 
5)  
Financial instruments and risk management
 
a)  
Financial instrument classification and measurement
 
Financial instruments of the Company carried on the Statement of Financial Position are carried at amortized cost with the exception of cash, which is carried at fair value. There are no significant differences between the carrying value of financial instruments and their estimated fair values as at 31 March 2014 and 31 December 2013.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
 
The fair value of the Company’s cash is quoted in active markets. The Company classifies the fair value of these transactions according to the following hierarchy.
 
·
Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical financial instruments.
 
·
Level 2 – quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.
 
·
Level 3 – valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
 
The Company’s cash has been assessed on the fair value hierarchy described above and classified as Level 1.
 
b)  
Fair values of financial assets and liabilities
 
The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, amounts receivable, due to/from related parties, deposits, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. At 31 March 2014 and 31 December 2013, the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents is fair value. Amounts receivable, due to/from related parties deposits and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature.
 
c)  
Market risk
 
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices will affect the Company’s earnings or the value of its financial instruments. Market risk is comprised of commodity price risk and interest rate risk. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control exposures within acceptable limits, while maximizing returns. The Company is not exposed to significant market risk.
 
d)  
Credit risk
 
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. The Company’s primary exposure to credit risk is on its bank accounts. The Company’s bank accounts are held with major banks in Canada, accordingly the Company believes it is not exposed to significant credit risk.

e)  
Interest rate risk
 
Interest rate risk is the risk of losses that arise as a result of changes in contracted interest rates. The Company is nominally exposed to interest rate risk.
 
f)  
Currency risk
 
Currency risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. To manage this risk the Company maintains only the minimum amount of foreign cash required to fund its on-going exploration expenditures. The Company is not exposed to significant foreign currency risk, as a 5% shift in foreign exchange rates would result in an impact of $150. At 31 March 2014 the Company held currency totalling the following:

  $ 3,000     $ 11,000  
United States dollars
  $ 15,000     $ 27,000  
 
g)  
Liquidity risk
 
Liquidity risk arises through the excess of financial obligations over available financial assets due at any point in time. The Company’s objective in managing liquidity risk is to maintain sufficient readily available reserves in order to meet its liquidity requirements at any point in time. As the Company has no significant source of cash flows this is a significant risk.

Marketable securities
 
Pursuant to the terms of the Lease and Option to Purchase Agreement, on 13 January 2011, Valterra issued to the Company 50,000 units consisting of one common share and one share purchase warrant per unit. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share of Valterra at $0.10 for a five year period. On the date of issue the common shares were valued at $3,268 and the warrants were valued at $1,637 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: 2 year term, 99% volatility, risk free interest rate of 1.64% and a dividend rate of Nil.
 
Pursuant to an amendment of the Lease and Option to Purchase Agreement, on 08 February 2011, Valterra issued to the Company 600,000 units consisting of one common share and one share purchase warrant per unit. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share of Valterra at $0.10 for a two year period. On the date of issue the common shares were valued at $42,870 and the warrants were valued at $18,301 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: 2 year term, 99% volatility, risk free interest rate of 1.64% and a dividend rate of Nil.
 
As at 31 March 2012, the common shares and warrants of Valterra were revalued at fair market value of $16,627 resulting in an unrealized loss on marketable securities of $1,437. The $2,585 fair value of the warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: 1.46 year term, 135% volatility, risk free interest rate of 1.01% and a dividend rate of Nil.
 
During the quarter ended 31 December 2012, the Company liquidated all marketable securities resulting in a realized loss of $6,831. The Company still holds a nominal number of warrants issued from Valterra; their value is not material and has not been included in the records of the Company.

a)  
Idaho-Maryland Property, California
 
In fiscal 2002, the Company renegotiated a lease with the owners of the Idaho-Maryland Property (“BET properties”) and surrounding areas in the Grass Valley Mining District, California, which was extended three times and expired in February 2013.
 
The Lease Option to Purchase Agreement was for 91 acres of surface rights and 2,750 aces of mineral rights associated with the I-M Property (“BET properties”). The Company is in negotiations with the owners to either extend this Agreement or to purchase the mineral rights. Permitting activities for the Idaho-Maryland Project remain on hold.
 
Emgold had raised US $450,000 through the sale of 18 acres of land located in Nevada County, California. The sale decreases the land package owned by the Company related to the Idaho-Maryland Project from about 52 acres to 34 acres. A gain of $193,289 was recorded in connection with the transaction.
 
b)  
Buckskin Rawhide East Property, Nevada
 
In November 2009 the Company entered into a lease and option to purchase agreement to acquire 100% of the rights to the Buckskin Rawhide East mineral claims (46 claims), a gold prospect located near Fallon, Nevada. The Company agreed to lease the property from Nevada Sunrise, LLC subject to the following advance royalty payments: $10,000 annually for the years 2009 to 2011; $20,000 in 2012; $40,000 in 2013, and $60,000 from 2014 to 2019. During the lease period, the Company could conduct exploration and, if warranted, complete a NI 43-101 compliant feasibility study. On completion of the feasibility study, the Company could acquire 100% ownership of the property by paying Nevada Sunrise, LLC an additional amount of $250,000. Nevada Sunrise, LLC was required to use these funds to purchase a retained 25% interest in the property from Maurice and Lorraine Castagne, pursuant to an underlying property agreement, and to transfer that title to the Company. Upon commercial production and after acquisition of 100% interest in the property, Nevada Sunrise, LLC would be entitled to a 2.5% NSR on production from the property. The annual lease payments of $10,000 due in December 2011 and 2010 were paid by the issuance of 106,290 and 49,424 common shares, respectively.

On 11 April 2011, the Company announced it had staked six additional claims, increasing the size of the Buckskin Rawhide East Property to 52 claims.
 
On 14 and 19 November 2012, the Company announced a series of transactions involving its Buckskin Rawhide East Property in Nevada. The Company announced it had signed an Option Agreement to complete an early buyout of all underlying property rights, including royalty rights, for its Buckskin Rawhide East Property. The Option provides that Emgold will pay two arm’s length parties (Nevada Sunrise LLC and the Castagne) an aggregate of $510,000 to allow the Company to consolidate a 100% interest in the 52 unpatented mineral claims, totalling 835 acres, that make up Buckskin Rawhide East Property. The Company also announced that it had signed an Agreement with Rawhide Mining LLC (“RMC”) pursuant to which the Company would issue to RMC, on a private placement basis, shares and warrants in an amount of CDN$1.0 million, part of which would be used to fund the above transaction. Also pursuant to the Agreement, upon completion of the title transfer of the 100% of the Buckskin Rawhide East Property to Emgold, the Company will subsequently lease the property to RMC. This transaction is occurring in a number of steps.
 
On 28 December 2012, the Company announced the first step of the above transaction. The first tranche of the private placement was closed for proceeds totalling CDN$465,000. A total of $400,000 from this tranche of the financing was used to acquire a 100% interest in 6 unpatented mining claims and a 75% interest in 40 unpatented mineral claims, including royalty interests, from one of the underlying property owners mentioned above.
 
On 01 February 2013, Emgold announced the closing of the second step of the above transaction, which included a second private placement, for proceeds of CDN$285,000. The Company is currently working on the third step of the transaction, which will involve the acquisition of the remaining 25% of 40 unpatented mineral claims that make up part of the Buckskin Rawhide East Property. As part of this step, the remaining CDN$250,000 private placement will be completed with RMC, of which $110,000 will be used to acquire the 25% interest.
 
The fourth and final step with RMC will involve completion of a Lease Agreement. RMC has agreed to lease the Buckskin Rawhide East Property from Emgold based on the following terms:
 
 
1.
The Lease Term is 20 years.
 
 
2.
Advance royalty payments will be $10,000 per year, paid by RMC to Emgold, with the first payment due at signing and subsequent payments due on the anniversary of the Lease Agreement.
 
 
3.
During the Lease Term, RMC will make all underlying claim fees to keep the claims in good standing.
 
 
4.
RMC will conduct a minimum of US$250,000 in exploration activities by the end of Year 1.
 
 
5.
RMC will conduct an additional minimum of US$250,000 in exploration activities by the end of Year 3, for a total of US$500,000 in exploration activities by the end of Year 3.
 
 
6.
RMC will have the option of earning a 100% interest in the Property by bringing it into commercial production.
 
 
7.
Upon bringing the property into commercial production, RMC will make "Bonus Payments" to Emgold. Bonus Payments will be US$15 per ounce of gold when the price of gold ranges between US$1,200 per ounce and US$1,799 per ounce. If the price of gold exceeds US$1,800 per ounce, the Bonus Payment will increase to US$20 per ounce
 
 
8.
After meeting its exploration requirements, should RMC subsequently elect to drop the Property or decide not to advance it, the Property will be returned to Emgold. Should Emgold subsequently advance the Property into production, RMC shall then be entitled to the same type of Bonus Payments as contemplated in 7 above.

(i) 
The Company completed a re-pricing and extension of the expiry date of certain existing common share purchase warrants (“warrants”). A total of 11,764,284 warrants, the original exercise price of which was US$0.35, have been re-priced at CDN$0.15 per share and been given a 12 month extension. These re-priced warrants were also able to elect an early conversion option whereby they could convert their warrants to shares at CDN$0.10 per share, if exercised by 31 August 2012. A total of 1,194,101 warrants were exercised at CDN$0.10. No other warrants have been exercised subsequent to the re-price.
 
 
(ii)
These warrants were part of the extension as noted above, but were not re-priced.
 
 
(iii)
The exercise prices of these warrants are stated in Canadian funds.
 
In accordance with IFRS, an obligation to issue shares for a price that is not fixed in the Company’s functional currency, and that does not qualify as a rights offering, must be classified as a derivative liability and measured at fair value with changes recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss as they arise. In the period ended 31 March 2014, the Company recorded a warrant liability in the amount of $Nil (31 December 2013 - $Nil). The warrants were valued and subsequently re-valued on the Company’s reporting dates using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, with the following assumptions: weighted average risk free rate of 1.25%, volatility factors of 71% - 74% and an expected life of 12 months – 13 months.

Stock-based compensation
 
For the period ended 31 March 2014 and the year ended 31 December 2013, the Company issued stock options to its directors, officers, employees, and consultants and recognized stock-based compensation as follows:
 
 
31 March
2014
   
31 December
2013
 
Total options granted
  -       3,000,000  
Average exercise price
$ -     $ 0.10  
Estimated fair value of compensation
$ -     $ 15,000  
Estimated fair value per option
$ -     $ 0.005  
 
The fair value of the stock-based compensation of options to be recognized in the accounts has been estimated using the Black-Scholes Model with the following weighted-average assumptions:
 
   
31 March
2014
   
31 December
2013
 
Risk free interest rate
    -       1.71 %
Expected dividend yield
    -       0.00 %
Expected stock price volatility
    -       61 %
Expected option life in years
    -       3  
Expected maturity rate
    -       60-100 %
 
Stock-based compensation for the options that vested during the period is as follows:
 
   
31 March
2014
   
31 December
2013
 
Number of options vested
    -       3,000,000  
Compensation recognized
  $ -     $ 15,000  
 
The Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model was created for use in estimating the fair value of freely tradable, fully transferable options. The Company’s employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the highly subjective input assumptions can materially affect the calculated values, management believes that the accepted Black-Scholes model does not necessarily provide a reliable measure of the fair value of the Company’s stock option awards.
 
In accordance with IFRS 2, the Company recognized $12,584 stock-based compensation on 700,000 options that were forfeited during the year ended 31 December 2013. The value of the compensation was determined using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model as noted above.
 
11)  
Capital disclosures
 
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds available to the Company, in order to support the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company’s management to sustain future development of the business. The Company defines capital that it manages as share capital.
 
Management reviews its capital management approach on an on-going basis and believes that this approach is reasonable and appropriate relative to the size of the Company.
 
The Company is in the business of mineral exploration and has no source of operating revenue. Operations are financed through the issuance of capital stock or liability instruments, or through the sale of property, plant, and equipment. Capital raised is held in cash in an interest bearing bank account until such time as it is required to pay operating expenses or resource property costs. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital restrictions. Its objectives in managing its capital are to safeguard its cash and its ability to continue as a going concern, and to utilize as much of its available capital as possible for exploration activities. The Company’s objectives have not changed during the period ended 31 March 2014.

Contingent liability
 
During 2012 and prior periods, the Company received services from Quorum Management and Administrative Services Inc. (“Quorum”). Quorum is a private company held jointly by the Company and other public companies, created to provide services on a full cost recovery basis to the various public entities currently sharing certain personnel costs, office space, and overhead with the Company. In April 2012, the partners of Quorum made the decision to wind up its administrative operations effective 31 August 2012. Management is aware of the possibility that there may be a future cost associated with the conclusion of this agreement. At the period ended 31 March 2014 and at the date of this report, the Company is unable to make a reliable estimate of the cost or likelihood of any costs being incurred. Accordingly, no provision has been made in these consolidated financial statements.

Management Discussion and Analysis
 
Overview
 
Emgold is a mineral exploration and mine development company with properties located in the western U.S. and Canada. The Company has a portfolio of exploration projects including the Buckskin Rawhide East, Buckskin Rawhide West, and Koegel Rawhide Properties in Nevada, and the Stewart Property and Rozan Properties in British Columbia. High grade vein and bulk disseminated gold exploration targets have been identified at the Buckskin Rawhide East, Buskin Rawhide West, and Koegel Rawhide Properties. Gold, silver, molybdenum and tungsten targets have been identified at the Stewart Property. Gold targets have been identified on the Rozan Property.
 
The Company has been progressing the permitting and reopening of the historic Idaho-Maryland Gold Mine located in Grass Valley, California (the “I-M Project”) since 2003. However, the Project was placed on hold on
 
26 October 2011 due to poor equity market conditions and will remain on hold until such time as the Company is able to raise sufficient funds to advance the Project through the permitting process. On 10 September 2013, the Company’s permit applications were deemed withdrawn by the City of Grass Valley and will have to be resubmitted if and when the Company is ready to move forward with the permitting process. On
 
01 February 2013, the Company announced that the Lease Option to Purchase Agreement for certain surface and mineral rights associated with the Idaho-Maryland Project had expired. Should negotiations to extend the Agreement be unsuccessful, Emgold has stated it will terminate the Project and focus on the other assets the Company currently has in its portfolio.
 
In addition to its mineral property interests, the Company has developed a manufacturing process that can be used to process a variety of mineral wastes, including mine tailings, fines from aggregate quarries, and fly ash from coal fired power plants, into high quality 100% recycled stone and ceramic building products such as floor tile, roof tile, and wall cladding. These products can be certified by the US Green Building Council and would meet requirements for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Credits. The Company plans to ultimately spin this technology off to a third party to allow its commercialization to be independently financed.
 
Significant Events and Transactions during the Period
 
Idaho-Maryland Property, CA
 
On 01 February 2013 a Lease Option to Purchase Agreement for 91 acres of surface rights and 2,750 aces of mineral rights associated with the Idaho-Maryland Project expired (“BET properties”). The Company is in discussions to extend and/or renegotiate this Agreement. Should negotiations to extend the agreement be unsuccessful, Emgold has stated it will terminate the Project and focus on the other assets the Company currently has in its portfolio. Permitting activities for the Idaho-Maryland Project remain on hold.
 
Buckskin Rawhide East Property, NV
 
The Company is currently working on the third step in a series of transactions related to the acquisition of 100% of the Buckskin Rahide East Property, a CDN $1 million private placement by Rawhide Mining LLC (“RMC”) into Emgold, and subsequent lease of the Property to RMC. This third step will involve the acquisition of the remaining 25% of 40 unpatented mineral claims that make up part of the Buckskin Rawhide East Property. As part of this step, the remaining CAD$250,000 private placement will be completed with RMC, of which $110,000 will be used to acquire the 25% interest.

Management Discussion and Analysis
 
The fourth and final step with RMC will involve completion of a Lease Agreement. RMC has agreed to lease the Buckskin Rawhide East Property from Emgold based on the following terms:
 
1.
The Lease Term is 20 years.
 
2.
Advance royalty payments will be $10,000 per year, paid by RMC to Emgold, with the first payment due at signing and subsequent payments due on the anniversary of the Lease Agreement.
 
3.
During the Lease Term, RMC will make all underlying claim fees to keep the claims in good standing.
 
4.
RMC will conduct a minimum of US$250,000 in exploration activities by the end of Year 1.
 
5.
RMC will conduct an additional minimum of US$250,000 in exploration activities by the end of Year 3, for a total of US$500,000 in exploration activities by the end of Year 3.
 
6.
RMC will have the option of earning a 100% interest in the Property by bringing it into commercial production.
 
7.
Upon bringing the property into commercial production, RMC will make "Bonus Payments" to Emgold. Bonus Payments will be US$15 per ounce of gold when the price of gold ranges between US$1,200 per ounce and US$1,799 per ounce. If the price of gold exceeds US$1,800 per ounce, the Bonus Payment will increase to US$20 per ounce
 
8.
After meeting its exploration requirements, should RMC subsequently elect to drop the Property or decide not to advance it, the Property will be returned to Emgold. Should Emgold subsequently advance the Property into production, RMC shall then be entitled to the same type of Bonus Payments as contemplated in 7 above.
 
On 17 June 2013, Emgold announced that the 2013 surface drilling program for the Buckskin Rawhide East Property was approved by the Bureau of Land Management. Drilling on the property, conducted by RMC, commenced on the Property in the third quarter and continued into the fourth quarter. Results are pending.
 
Other Properties
 
On all of the Company’s other properties, there is no activity to report.
 
Corporate
 
The Company continues to focus on raising capital to advance its projects and support corporate overhead.

Management Discussion and Analysis
 
The I-M Project, California
 
The Idaho-Maryland Mine, located in Grass Valley, California was discovered in 1851. It was in production from 1862 through 1956 and was the second largest historical underground gold producer in California. Total recorded production was 2,383,000 ounces of gold from 5,546,000 short tons for a recovered grade of 0.43 ounces of gold per short ton. The Idaho-Maryland Mine is located adjacent to the historic Empire Mine, the largest historical underground producer in California, reportedly producing 5.8 million ounces of gold. It was Newmont Mining Corporation’s first operating mine and Newmont maintains the mineral rights to the property. Within a three mile radius of the Idaho-Maryland Mine, the historic mines in the Grass Valley District produced a reported 13 million ounces of gold. Including placer gold, the Grass Valley District is reported to have produced 17 million ounces of gold.
 
At 31 December 2013, the Company had a mining lease and option to purchase agreement (the “BET Agreement”) for the I-M Project. Subsequent to year end 2013, the BET Agreement expired. The Company is currently in negotiations to extend or renegotiate the Agreement. The BET Agreement, subject to a series of extensions, covers the BET properties. Emgold owns certain other mineral and surface rights associated with the Project.
 
Prior to the expiry of the BET agreement, the Company was in the advanced stage of the permitting process for the I-M Project. The I-M Project was being permitted in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) and the Surface Mining and Reclamation Act (“SMARA”), as well as other local, State and Federal legislation. The City of Grass Valley (the “City”) was the Lead Agency for the CEQA and SMARA processes for the I-M Project.
 
Note that current volatility in the world markets due to political and economic conditions, beyond the Company’s control, are affecting all junior and senior mining companies’ ability to raise funds in the current market. As announced in a 26 October 2011 press release and further reiterated in 07 September 2013 and 01 February 2013 press releases, Emgold recognized it would need to temporarily place the Idaho-Maryland Project permitting on hold until market conditions improve. At this point in time, markets have not significantly improved. As outlined in the press releases, the Company may elect to drop the project and focus on other quality assets in the Company’s portfolio.
 
Buckskin Rawhide East Property, Nevada
 
The Buckskin Rawhide East Property is situated within the Walker Lane structural zone and gold belt of western Nevada. The Walker Lane is a regional shear zone of right lateral strike slip faulting and a known gold trend that hosts large and small historic and currently operating gold-silver mines, including mines of the Comstock Lode, Tonopah Mining District and Rawhide Mining District. The geology and mineralization on the Property are associated with lithologic units and structures of the Rawhide volcanic center, as well as structures from the Walker Lane and Basin and Range. Exploration results at Buckskin Rawhide East Property indicate the potential for high grade mineralized gold/silver veins and bulk mineable disseminated gold/silver zones
 
The Buckskin Rawhide East Property, totalling 52 unpatented mineral claims, is an early stage gold/silver exploration property located adjacent to and bounded on the east and south by the Denton Rawhide Mine, a gold/silver mine that is owned and operated by Rawhide Mining LLC. The Denton Rawhide Mine was formerly operated by Kennecott Rawhide Mining Company, a subsidiary of Rio Tinto Mining Corporation with reported production (by Kennecott) of 1.4 million ounces of gold and 10 million ounces of silver between 1988 and 2005. It is also adjacent to and bounded on the north and west by the Regent gold-silver Property (“Regent Property”), also owned Rawhide Mining LLC. The Regent Property was formerly drilled by Kennecott Rawhide Mining Company, Newmont Exploration Company, and Pilot Gold Corporation.

Management Discussion and Analysis
 
In 2009, Emgold signed a Lease and Option to Purchase Agreement with Nevada Sunrise LLC and leased a 100% interest in 46 claims that made up the original Buckskin Rawhide East Property. Forty of these claims were 75% owned by Nevada Sunrise LLC and 25% owned (but controlled by Nevada Sunrise LLC through a carried interest) by the Castagne Estate. Six claims were owned by Nevada Sunrise LLC. Subsequently, Emgold staked an six additional claims. increasing the property size to 52 claims..
 
On 14 and 19 November 2013, the Company announced that it had signed an Agreement with Rawhide Mining LLC (“RMC”) pursuant to which the Company would issue to RMC, on a private placement basis, shares and warrants in an amount of CAD$1.0 million, part of which would be used to fund the acquisition of 46 claims outlined above owned from Nevada Sunrise LLC and the Castagne Estate. Also, pursuant to the Agreement, upon completion of the title transfer of the 100% of the Buckskin Rawhide East Property to Emgold, the Company will subsequently lease the property to RMC. This transaction is occurring in a number of steps.
 
At quarter end, Emgold currently owns 12 claims and a 75% interest in 40 additional claims that it acquired from Nevada Sunrise LLC. Emgold is in the process of acquiring the remaining 25% of the 40 additional claims from the Castagne Estate. Regardless, Emgold currently controls this remaining 25% interest in the 40 claims by nature the controlled interest in the claims acquired by Nevada Sunrise LLC.. After meeting its exploration requirements, should RMC subsequently elect to drop the Property or decide not to advance it, the Property will be returned to Emgold.
 
RMC conducted exploration on Buckskin Rawhide East in 2013, and results from that exploration are pending.

Buckskin Rawhide West Property, Nevada
 
The Buckskin Rawhide West Property, totalling 21 mineral claims, is an early stage gold/silver exploration property located two miles west of the Denton Rawhide Mine, a gold/silver mine that is owned and operated by Rawhide Mining LLC. The Buckskin Rawhide East Property, totalling 52 mineral claims, is an early stage gold/silver Property, also controlled by Emgold, located several thousand feet east but not adjacent to Buckskin Rawhide West.
 
Exploration results at Buckskin Rawhide West Property indicate the potential for high grade mineralized gold/silver veins and bulk mineable disseminated gold/silver zones. The development alternatives included advancing the Buckskin Rawhide West Property as a standalone gold/silver exploration project or working with Rawhide Mining LLC to explore and develop the Property.
 
Emgold has a lease and option to purchase agreement with Jeremy Wire, an individual, for 21 unpatented mining claims at Buckskin Rawhide West. The terms of this agreement were disclosed in an Emgold news release dated 06 February 2013. Emgold has agreed to lease the property from Jeremy Wire subject to the following payments:

Management Discussion and Analysis
 
Geologic mapping by Charles P. Watson, a consulting geologist, in the years 1991-1992, indicates the Property is covered mostly by Tertiary (Pliocene) age intermediate volcanic rocks including andesitic tuff breccias, sills and dikes. The volcanic units have been folded into minor anticlines and faulted. Faults of several orientations occur on the Property with north, northwest and northeast trends. Hydrothermal alteration (clay and silica) is present and is associated with structures and mineralization.
 
Emgold has a lease and option to purchase agreement with Jeremy Wire, an individual, for 19 unpatented mining claims at Koegel Rawhide. The terms of this agreement were disclosed in an Emgold news release dated 13 February 2013. Emgold has agreed to lease the property from Jeremy Wire subject to the following payments:

On 15 February 2013, the Company announced that it had staked an additional 17 unpatented mining claims totalling 340 acres. This increased the size of the Koegel Rawhide Property to 36 unpatented mining claims totalling 720 acres.
 
No exploration work was conducted on the property in QI 2014..
 
Stewart Property, British Columbia
 
In 2001, the Company entered into an option agreement to acquire the rights to the Stewart mineral claims, a polymetallic prospect located close to Nelson in south-eastern British Columbia. The Company has earned a 100% interest in the property, subject to an underlying royalty interest.
 
The Stewart Property is an early stage exploration property. It is located in a region of historic mining activity, and is part of a large geological trend of tungsten, molybdenum and gold mineralization. The Stewart Property contains a number of gold, molybdenum, tungsten and silver-lead-zinc prospects. The property has been assessed by various operators since 1967, each exploring a different type of mineral deposit. Much data is available from those programs as well as work done by Emgold. Five main exploration targets have been identified to date – the Stewart Moly Zone, the Craigtown Creek Gold Zone, the Stewart Creek Gold Zone, the Arrow Tungsten Zone, and the Free Silver Zone.
 
No exploration work was completed on the property in Q1 2014.

Rozan Property, British Columbia
 
In 2000, the Company entered into an option agreement to acquire the rights to the Rozan Property, a prospect located south of the community of Nelson in the Red Mountain area of south eastern British Columbia. The Company holds a 100% interest in the property, subject to an underlying royalty interest.
 
The Rozan Property is an early stage polymetallic exploration property in the same geological trend as the Stewart Property. Exploration by Emgold has included geological mapping, geochemical sampling and geophysical surveys along with small drilling programs, all of which had encouraging results. The Rozan Property has the potential for high-grade gold veins, bulk mineable disseminated gold zones, and possibly other metals.
 
No exploration work was completed on the property in Q1 2014.
 
Golden Bear Ceramics Company
 
Golden Bear Ceramics Company has developed a process that can use a variety of non-traditional feedstock materials such as mine tailings, fly ash from coal fired power plants, fines from aggregate quarries, and other mineral wastes to make high quality 100% recycled stone and ceramic building products. This process uses off-the-shelf equipment from the ceramics industry and involves traditional cold forging and hot forging processes.
 
Results of Operations
 
The comprehensive loss for the three months ended 31 March 2014 was $100,110, which compares to a comprehensive gain of $174,691 during the three months ended 31 March in 2013. The main fluctuations in costs are as follows:

The variances between the three month periods between March and June 2013, June and September 2013, and September and December 2013 are primarily a result of adjustments impacting the warrant liability and timing of exploration expenses incurred.
 
The variance between the 31 December 2013 and 31 March 2014 periods is widely a result of a significant adjustment to the warrant liability as a result of the audit process. The expenses incurred in the three month period ended 31 March 2014 are in line with the expectations of management.
 
Other factors contributing to the variances between quarters are affected by the Company’s activities and progress on permitting of the I-M Project and flow through work completed on the Company’s B.C. properties. These are discretionary costs, primarily related to the availability of finances, timing and availability of hiring of external consultants related to the permitting process, resource estimates and engineering or capital expenditures, which have been delayed.

The Company’s current primary focus is to raise funds to advance its properties in Nevada that are adjacent to or near the operating Denton Rawhide Mine. The Company is consolidating its ownership in the Buckskin Rawhide East Property and plans to subsequently lease the property to Rawhide Mining LLC, who operates the Denton Rawhide Mine. Emgold subsequently plans to conduct additional exploration on its Buckskin Rawhide West and Koegel Rawhide Properties, subject to securing funds to move forward with this exploration.
 
The Company’s current secondary focus continues to be raising funds to lease or acquire the surface properties and mineral rights associated with the I-M in California. Subject to securing funds, the Company would move forward with the permitting process.
 
The Company’s tertiary current focus is the continued exploration of its Stewart and Rozan Properties in British Columbia, also subject to securing fund to move forward with this exploration.

Management Discussion and Analysis
 
Liquidity
 
Historically, the Company’s sole source of funding is and has been the issuance of equity securities for cash, primarily through private placements to sophisticated investors and institutions. The Company has issued common shares and warrants pursuant to private placement financings and the exercise of warrants and options.
 
The current market conditions, the challenging and inhospitable funding environment and the low price of the Company’s common shares make it difficult to raise funds through private placements of shares. In addition, the Company endeavours to minimize dilution to existing shareholders. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful with any financing ventures. Please refer to the “Risks” section of this document.
 
At 31 March 2014, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $725,759, compared with a working capital deficit of $626,552 at 31 December 2013.
 
Cash used in operating activities during the period ended 31 March 2014 totalled $(20,365) (31 March 2013 – $(238,047)).
 
Cash raised from investing activities during the period ended 31 March 2014 totalled $Nil (31 March 2013 – cash raised $23,839).
 
Cash raised in financing activities during period ended 31 March 2014 totalled $Nil (31 March 2013 – $283,944).
 
Investing Activities
 
As at 31 March 2014, Emgold has capitalized $1,227,563 (31 December 2013 - $1,227,563) representing costs associated with the acquisition of its mineral property interests in California, Nevada and British Columbia.
 
Capital Resources
 
The Company’s continued operations are dependent upon the Company’s ability to obtain sufficient financing to carry on planned operations. Currently, the Company does not have sufficient working capital to carry on planned operations, and will have to continue to raise equity capital for future operations. If it is unable to continue to raise sufficient equity capital for continued permitting and corporate overhead, it would have to cease operations.
 
Share Capital
 
As at 31 March 2014, the Company had 72,587,462 common shares issued and outstanding. The fully diluted share capital of 88,603,130 assumes the conversion of 8,985,003 warrants and 7,030,665 options.
 
Financing Activities
 
Further financing will continue to be required to advance the I-M Project, for exploration of Emgold’s other properties, and for general and administrative costs, in order to complete the permitting process. Emgold has been looking at various alternatives to implement Golden Bear’s business plan as noted in section 1.1.1. The Company currently has no carrying value for Golden Bear and all costs were written off in fiscal 2008.
 
Going Concern
 
These audited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of the accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes the Company’s ability to continue in operation for the foreseeable future and to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations.

Management Discussion and Analysis
 
There are several adverse conditions that cast substantial doubt upon the soundness of this assumption. The Company has negative working capital, has incurred operating losses since inception, has no source of revenue, is unable to self-finance operations and has significant on-going cash requirements to meet its overhead and maintain its mineral interests. Further, the business of mining and exploration involves a high degree of risk and there can be no assurance that current exploration programs will result in profitable mining operations. The recoverability of exploration and evaluation assets is dependent upon several factors. These include the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the development of these properties, and future profitable production or proceeds from disposition of mineral properties.
 
For the Company to continue to operate as a going concern it must obtain additional financing; although the Company has been successful in the past at raising funds, there can be no assurance that this will continue in the future. If the going concern assumption were not appropriate for these audited consolidated financial statements then adjustments would be necessary to the carrying value of assets and liabilities, the reported expenses and the statement of financial position classifications used and such adjustments could be material.
 
External permitting activities with the City of Grass Valley related to the I-M Project in California remain on hold pending financing activities by the Company and pending extension of the Lease Option to Purchase Agreement for certain surface and mineral rights associated with the Project. As announced in 26 October 2011, 07 September 2012, and 01 February 2013 press releases, the preparation of the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) remains temporarily on hold while the Company waits for improved equity market conditions to raise the funds necessary to complete the process. On 10 September 2012, the City of Grass Valley notified the Company that their 2011 Revised Permit Applications were “deemed withdrawn” and the applications will need to be resubmitted when the Company has the funds in place and is ready to move forward. On 01 February 2013, subsequent to year end 2012, a Lease Option to Purchase Agreement for the BET properties expired. The Company is in negotiations to extend this Agreement. Should negotiations to extend the agreement be unsuccessful, Emgold has stated it will terminate the Project and focus on the other assets the Company currently has in its portfolio.
 
Since 2009, Emgold management has taken many steps to reduce corporate and project costs. Currently, executive salaries are being deferred voluntarily, together with Board remuneration and management and consulting fees, until such time as new financing is available.
 
The Company’s exploration activities and its potential mining and processing operations are subject to various laws governing land use, the protection of the environment, prospecting, development, production, contractor availability, commodity prices, exports, taxes, labour standards, occupational safety and health, waste disposal, toxic substances, mine safety and other matters. The Company believes it is in substantial compliance with all material laws and regulations which currently apply to its activities.
 
Although over 40 gold mines have been permitted for operations in California since the CEQA legislation was enacted in the 1960s, there seems to remain a general perception in the mining industry and financial institutions that it is not possible to permit a mine in California and this has seriously impeded the Company’s efforts to obtain required and timely equity financing. The number of gold mines permitted and put into production is only a small fraction of the other mineral and metal mining production in California. The Company has received all permits applied for by the Company since its acquisition of the I-M Project.
 
There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain all permits required for exploration, any future development and construction of mining facilities and conduct of mining operations on reasonable terms or that new legislation or modifications to existing legislation, would not have an adverse effect on any exploration or mining project which the Company might undertake.
 
The Company has been performing reclamation activities on an on-going basis on its exploration properties. As such, management feels that there is no significant reclamation liability outstanding on properties owned by the Company.

Management Discussion and Analysis
 
The Company’s continuing operations and the underlying value and recoverability of the amounts shown for mineral property interests are entirely dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable mineral reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the exploration and development of its mineral property interests and on future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition of the mineral property interests or other interests.
 
Plans for 2014 and On-going
 
The Company plans to raise funds to continue advancing the I-M Project, depending on market conditions and other factors. Should funding not be available, the Company may elect to drop the I-M Project and focus on other properties the Company has in its portfolio.
 
A Lease Option to Purchase Agreement for the BET properties expired on 01 February 2013. The Company is in negotiations to extend this Agreement. Should negotiations to extend the agreement be unsuccessful, Emgold has stated it will terminate the Project and focus on the other assets the Company currently has in its portfolio.
 
The Company believes the Buckskin Rawhide East Property is a highly prospective gold-silver exploration property with potential for discovery of high grade and bulk disseminated mineralization. RMC commenced exploration activities on the Buckskin Rawhide East Property in 2013 with the goal of identifying resources that could ultimately be developed and processed at the adjacent Denton-Rawhide Mine.
 
The Company plans to conduct exploration activities (chip sampling, soil sampling, and geologic mapping) on the Buckskin Rawhide West Property that are not part of the RMC agreement, subject to financing.
 
The Company believes its Koegel Rawhide Property is a highly prospective gold-silver exploration property with potential for high grade and bulk disseminated mineralization. A high grade zone has been identified for core drilling and additional prospects on the property will continue to be investigated, subject to financing.
 
The Company believes the Stewart and Rozan Properties are highly prospective poly-metallic exploration properties with potential for discovery of molybdenum, tungsten, gold, silver, and other types of mineralization. A number of targets have been identified for continuing exploration, subject to financing.

Critical Judgment in Applying Accounting Policies
 
In the application of the Company’s accounting policies, which are described in note 4 of the annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2013, management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount and classification of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
 
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revisions affect only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods, if the revision affects both current and future periods.
 
The following are the critical judgments and areas involving estimates, that management have made in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amount recognized in the consolidated financial statements.

Management Discussion and Analysis
 
Going concern assumption
 
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of the accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes the Company’s ability to continue in operation for the foreseeable future and to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations. There are several adverse conditions that cast substantial doubt upon the soundness of this assumption. Refer to note 1 of the audited consolidated financial statements for more details.
 
Determination of functional currency
 
In accordance with IAS 21, The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates, management determined that the functional currency of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries is the US dollar.
 
Mineral Properties
 
The company owns land and surface rights, which are part of the Idaho-Maryland property, valued as part of exploration and evaluation assets on statement of financial position at $490,508. This land is adjacent to the property covered by the BET agreement that expired on 01 February 2013. The BET Agreement, signed in 2002, originally had a five year term and has been extended three times. The Company is currently in discussions with the BET Trust to extend and/or negotiate a new agreement associated with the Project (refer to the audited consolidated financial statements, note 10) The company assessed that no impairment was necessary on the land and surface rights that they own as they are still negotiating to extend the lease. If the lease is not extended the land will still have real estate value and can be disposed of as a non-mining real estate transaction.
 
Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty
 
Useful life of plant and equipment
 
The Company reviews the estimated lives of its plant and equipment at the end of each reporting period. There were no material changes in the lives of plant and equipment for the year ended 31 December 2013 and 2012.
 
Decommissioning liability
 
The estimated costs are reviewed annually by management including changes in the discount rate, estimated timing of decommissioning costs, or cost estimates.
 
Share based payments and fair value of warrants
 
Management assesses the fair value of stock options granted in accordance with the accounting policy stated in note 3 of the Company’s 31 December 2013 annual consolidated financial statements. The fair value of stock options granted is measured using the Black-Scholes option valuation model (“BkS”), which was created for use in estimating the fair value of freely tradable, fully transferable options. The Company’s stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and changes in the highly subjective input assumptions can materially affect the calculated values. The fair value of stock options granted using the BkS do not necessarily provide a reliable measure of the fair value of the Company’s stock option awards. The same model is used by the Company is order to arrive at a fair value for the issuance of warrants.

Management Discussion and Analysis
 
Exploration and evaluation asset
 
The Company makes certain estimates and assumptions regarding the recoverability of the carrying values of exploration and evaluation assets. These assumptions are changed when conditions exist that indicate the carrying value may be impaired, at which time an impairment loss is recorded.
 
Financial Instruments and Other Instruments
 
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, due from related party, marketable securities, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to related party and derivative liability.
 
Credit risk
 
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its obligations.
 
Substantially all of the Company’s cash and short-term investments are held with major financial institutions in Canada, and management believes the exposure to credit risk with such institutions is not significant. Those financial assets that potentially subject the Company to credit risk are its receivables. The Company has increased its focus on credit risk given the impact of the current economic climate. The Company considers the risk of material loss to be significantly mitigated due to the financial strength of the major financial institutions where cash and term deposits are held. The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk as at 31 December 2013 is the carrying value of its financial assets.
 
Liquidity risk
 
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company has a planning and budgeting process in place by which it anticipates and determines the funds required to support normal operation requirements as well as the growth and development of its mineral property interests. The Company coordinates this planning and budgeting process with its financing activities through the capital management process described below, in normal circumstances. Due to the lack of liquidity and anticipated working capital requirements within the next twelve months, management has increased its focus on liquidity risk given the impact of the current economic climate on the availability of finance.
 
Currency risk
 
The Company’s currency risk arises primarily with fluctuations in United States dollar and the Canadian dollar. The Company has no revenue and any exposure to currency risk is related to expenditures by the Company in Canada, as a significant portion of operating expenses are payable in Canadian dollars. The currency risk by the Company relates to unpaid liabilities of the Company payable in Canadian dollars.
 
The Company has not hedged its exposure to currency fluctuations. At 31 March 2014, the Company is exposed to currency risk through the following assets and liabilities denominated in Canadian dollars, but presented in United States dollar equivalents:
 
At 31 March 2014 the Company held currency totalling the following:
 
Rounded (‘000’s)
 
31 March
2014
   
31 December
2013
 
Canadian dollars
  $ 3,000     $ 11,000  
United States dollars
  $ 15,000     $ 27,000  
 
Based on the above net exposures at 31 March 2014, and assuming that all other variables remain constant a 5% appreciation or depreciation of the Canadian dollar against the United States dollar would result in an increase/decrease of $150 the Company’s loss from operations.

Management Discussion and Analysis
 
Management of Capital
 
The Company defines capital as its shareholders' equity. The Company’s objective in managing capital is to maintain adequate levels of funding to support the activities of the Company, maintain corporate and administrative functions necessary to support organizational management oversight, and obtain funding sufficient for advancing the Company’s other interests including its exploration properties.
 
The Company seeks to manage its capital structure in a manner that provides sufficient funding for operational activities. Funds are primarily secured through equity capital obtained in private placements. There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to continue raising capital in this manner. The Company currently does not use other sources of financing that requires fixed payments of interest and principal due to the lack of cash flow from current operations and is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.
 
The Company has in the past invested its capital in short-term investments to obtain adequate returns. The investment decision is based on cash management to ensure working capital is available to meet the Company’s short-term obligations while maximizing liquidity and returns of unused capital.
 
Disclosure controls and internal controls over financial reporting
 
Management is responsible for designing, establishing, and maintaining a system of internal controls over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance that the financial information prepared by the Company for external purposes is reliable and has been recorded, processed, and reported in an accurate and timely manner in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. Management is also responsible for designing, establishing, and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that material items requiring disclosure by the Company are identified and reported in a timely manner. There has been no significant change in disclosure controls or in internal controls over financial reporting during the year ended 31 December 2013 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to affect, the Company’s disclosure controls or its internal controls over financial reporting.
 
Management’s report on internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls
 
The Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and assessed the design and the operating effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of 31 March 2014. Based on that assessment, management concluded that, as at 31 March 2014, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting has effectively provided reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of audited consolidated financial statements for external reporting purposes. There was no change in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred in the year ended 31 March 2014 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
 
Additional Disclosure for Venture Issuers without Significant Revenue
 
Consistent with other companies in the mineral exploration industry, Emgold has no source of operating revenue. The Company’s 31 March 2014 Annual Audited Consolidated provide a breakdown of the general and administrative expenses for the period under review and an analysis of the capitalized and expensed exploration and development costs incurred on its mineral properties.
