American Bonanza Gold Corp.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(In Canadian Dollars)

(Unaudited – Prepared by Management)

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012

1.	NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

	American Bonanza Gold Corp. (the “Corporation”) was incorporated in British Columbia on December 10, 2004. The Corporation is domiciled in Vancouver, Canada. The Corporation is a development stage mining company engaged in the identification, acquisition, exploration and development of precious metals properties located in the United States. The Corporation, with the exception of the Copperstone gold property (note 7) has not yet determined whether its other exploration mineral properties contain mineral reserves which are economically recoverable. The recoverability of amounts capitalized is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, securing and maintaining title in the properties, obtaining the necessary financing to complete the exploration and development of these projects and upon the attainment of future profitable production.

	These financial statements have been prepared by management on a going-concern basis, which assumes the Corporation will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and settle its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As at September 30, 2013, the Corporation had cash and cash equivalents of $98,752 and a working capital deficiency of $20,048,460.

	The ability of the Corporation to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to achieve profitable operations. The Corporation’s current objective is the development and operation of the Copperstone mine. The Corporation suspended operations at the Copperstone mine on October 11, 2013 and placed the mine on care and maintenance status. The Corporation has made this decision in order to cut costs while it reviews its operations with a focus on improving operational efficiencies. The Corporation is also seeking additional capital to fund performance improvements in order to meet the designed capacity of the Copperstone mine. The Corporation believes that with additional capital, upon the resumption of operations, the mine will perform at a consistent mine output rate and mill throughput rate which will help reduce overall costs as the Corporation moves forward to bring the Copperstone mine to design operating rates. The Corporation is currently in negotiations with several significant finance groups, and discussions are progressing during the care and maintenance period with a goal of providing sufficient capital to resume full long term operations at the mine and to raise sufficient capital to conduct the care and maintenance programs at the mine. A longer-term objective of the Corporation remains the substantial increase in mine production upon the resumption of operations and delineation of the significant exploration potential at Copperstone.

	The Corporation will require additional financing to carry out its near-term plans, and to meet its obligations under its loan agreements. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that cast significant doubt about the Corporation’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Corporation has, however, demonstrated its ability to raise funds when required, as evidenced by the successful closing of gold prepayment facilities, short term loans, private placements and convertible debentures in 2012 and 2013. The Corporation also has evidence of its ability to produce saleable gold concentrates with commissioning sales of $11,647,392 (note 7) during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The Corporation has also committed to offer 7,819 ounces of future gold production for principal repayments under gold loans which has been subsequently amended to 9,557 ounces as described in note 15. Future levels of sales revenues must reach levels that exceed operating costs over a sustained period in order to demonstrate profitability. These required sales levels have not yet been achieved, although progress is being made towards this objective. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported expenses and statement of financial position classifications that would be necessary should the going concern assumption become inappropriate.

2.	BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

	These condensed consolidated interim financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting using accounting policies consistent with IFRS issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting policies and methods of computation consistent with those applied in and should be read in conjunction with the Corporation’s December 31, 2012 consolidated financial statements.

	The condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars (“CAD”).

(In Canadian Dollars)

(Unaudited – Prepared by Management)

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012

3.	RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

	The IASB issued a number of new and revised accounting standards which are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. These standards include the following:

	•	IFRS 10 – Consolidated Financial Statements
	•	IFRS 12 – Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities
	•	IFRS 13 – Fair Value Measurement
	•	IFRIC 20 – Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine

	The Corporation assessed the impact of the above standards and noted that there was no impact of IFRS 10, 12 and IFRIC 20 on the Corporation’s financial statements.

	IFRS 13 – Fair Value Measurement (“IFRS 13”) defines fair value and sets out a single framework for measuring fair value which is applicable to all IFRSs that require or permit fair value measurements or disclosures about fair value measurements. IFRS 13 requires that when using a valuation technique to measure fair value, the use of relevant observable inputs should be maximized while unobservable inputs should be minimized. The Corporation has applied IFRS 13 on a prospective basis, commencing January 1, 2013.

	Amendments to IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements (“IAS 1”), effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2012, require an entity to group items presented in the statement of other comprehensive income on the basis of whether they may be reclassified to profit or loss subsequent to initial recognition. For those items presented before tax, the amendments to IAS 1 also require that the tax related to the two separate groups be presented separately.

	In December 2011, the IASB amended IFRS 9, Financial Instruments, which is effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2015. This revised accounting standard has not yet been adopted by American Bonanza, and the Corporation has not yet completed the process of assessing the impact that it will have on its financial statements, or whether to early adopt any of the new requirements.

4.	RESTRICTED CASH

	The Corporation was required to place a reclamation bond with the US Bureau of Land Management for $1,643,800 for the Copperstone project. During 2012, $1,618,468 ($1,632,049 United States dollars (“USD”)) of the reclamation bond was recovered and replaced by a surety bond of an insurance company. Pursuant to the term of the surety bond, the Corporation provided a cash collateral of $840,725 ($816,000 USD) which will be held with the Bank of New York in the name of the Corporation.

	The remaining $20,788 (December 31, 2012 - $20,074) of the reclamation bond is still held by the US Bureau of Land Management relating to the Copperstone project as at September 30, 2013.

Mineral Property – Copperstone

The Corporation is engaged in exploring and developing the Copperstone gold mine in La Paz County, Arizona, United States. The Copperstone mine is currently in the commissioning stage and all sales and production costs are currently being capitalized to mineral interests.

The Corporation holds a 100% leasehold interest in the Copperstone Project. The landlord is Angie Patch Survivor’s Trust / Daniel L. Patch Credit Trust, “Patch Living” (formally known as The Patch Living Trust) and the lease was for a 10 year term starting June 12, 1995 and was renewed for a further ten years on and from June 12, 2005. The lease is renewable for one or more ten-year terms at the Corporation’s option under the same terms and conditions. The Corporation is obligated to pay for all permitting and state lease bonding, insurance, taxes, and to pay a 1% production gross royalty with the royalty increasing to 6% if the price of gold is over $551 USD per ounce. The Corporation pays a minimum advance royalty per year of $30,000 USD.

7.	MINERAL PROPERTIES, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT (continued)

	During 2002, the Corporation entered into a mining services agreement with an Underground Mining Contractor (“Mining Contractor”) for purposes of the development and extension of an existing underground decline in the D-Zone to establish underground infrastructure for subsequent exploration and development programs. The Corporation is required to pay to the Mining Contractor $50,000 USD from initial proceeds from mineral extracted from the D-Zone of the Copperstone property and a Net Smelter royalty of 3% from the first 50,000 tonnes of mineralized material extracted from the D -Zone. As 50,000 tonnes from the D-Zone has been mined as of September 30, 2013, the Corporation has completed its commitment under this royalty.

	As of September 30, 2013, $1,514,107 has been paid and accrued in relation to the above royalties.

	All required property payments were made with respect to the Copperstone Project as of September 30, 2013, and all claims are in good standing until August 2014.

	Joint Venture of Southwest Target of Coppertone Mine

	On July 3, 2013, the Corporation entered into an earn-in agreement with Suparna Gold Corp.

A rate of 27.3% was used for the Debentures.
