Financial Results
The following selected financial data is derived from the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 (the "Interim Financial Statements"), as prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. Details of these results are described in the Interim Financial Statements and related Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A"). These documents can be found on the Company's website (www.truegold.com) or on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. All amounts are presented in United States dollars unless otherwise stated.

For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015, the Company reported a net loss of $4.2 million and $11.1 million respectively, compared to net losses of $6.1 million and $10.0 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014. The most significant contributor to the loss for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was the impairment recognized on assets damaged during the demonstration at the Karma Mine. The most significant contributor to the comparative three and six month period ended June 30, 2014 losses was exploration and evaluation expenditures predominately related to the Karma Mine.

Total assets as at June 30, 2015 have decreased since December 31, 2014 by $13.4 million to $96.7 million, mainly due to a decrease in total cash and short term investments reflecting cash outflows from operations through the six month period ended June 30, 2015. This was offset by the capitalization of development costs related to the Karma Mine net of the impairment charge related to assets damaged during the demonstration at the Karma Mine.

In the year ending December 31, 2014 the Company entered into a $100-million definitive Agreement with Franco-Nevada and Sandstorm to complete funding for the construction of the Karma Mine. In exchange for $100-million in funding, True Gold is obligated to deliver 100,000 ounces of gold over five years, and thereafter 6.5% of equivalent production at the Karma Mine. In addition, True Gold holds sole option to increase funding by up to $20-million during the first 18 months following the date of the execution of the Agreement. As at June 30, 2015, the Company has drawn down $57.7M under the Agreement. During the six month period ended June 30, 2015 the Company recorded a loss on the change in fair value of the liability of $2.9 million.
