NEW GUINEA GOLD CORPORATION
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Six Months Ended June 30, 2005
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND CONTINUANCE OF BUSINESS
The Company is incorporated in the Yukon Territory, Canada, and is involved in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties in Papua New Guinea. At the date of these consolidated interim financial statements the Company has not yet determined whether any of its mineral properties contain economically recoverable mineral reserves. Accordingly, the carrying amount of deferred mineral exploration costs represents expenditures made to date and does not necessarily reflect present or future values. The recovery of these costs is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable mineral reserves and the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete exploration and development work and to resolve any environmental, regulatory, or other constraints, which may hinder the successful exploitation of its mineral properties or dispose of its interests on an advantageous basis.2.

The fair value of stock options and warrants granted during 2005 and 2004 are estimated on the date of their grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions:
| 2005 |
2004 |
|
| Risk-free interest rate |
3.4% |
3.4% |
| Estimated volatility |
95% |
95% |
| Expected lives |
2 to 5 years |

Option pricing models require the use of estimates and assumptions including the expected volatility. Changes in the underlying assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimates and, therefore, existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable measure of the fair value of the grant of the Company's stock options.
Amounts expensed as stock-based compensation are credited to contributed surplus. On exercise, the amounts originally credited to contributed surplus are credited to share capital.
