Item 4.01. Change in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

Effective on August 12, 2010, Gryphon Gold Corporation (the “Registrant”) terminated the services of its principal registered independent public accountant, Ernst & Young LLP (“Ernst & Young”).

In Ernst & Young’s principal accountant reports on the Registrant’s financial statements for each of the past two fiscal years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, no adverse opinion was issued and no opinion of Ernst & Young was modified as to audit scope or accounting principles. Ernst & Young’s principal accountant reports on the Registrant’s financial statements for the last two fiscal years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, each contained a disclaimer paragraph concerning uncertainty as to the Registrant’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements did not include any adjustments that might have resulted from the outcome of this uncertainty. No other reports in each of the past two fiscal years contained a disclaimer of opinion or were modified as to uncertainty.

The change in auditor was recommended and approved by the Registrant’s audit committee.

In the two most recent fiscal years and any interim period preceding the dismissal of Ernst & Young LLP, the Registrant is not aware of any disagreements with Ernst & Young LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement(s), if not resolved to the satisfaction of Ernst & Young LLP, would have caused it to make references to the subject matter of the disagreement(s) in connection with its report.

The Registrant is not aware of any reportable events (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K) that have occurred during the two most recent fiscal years and the interim period preceding the dismissal of Ernst & Young.

Ernst & Young has been provided the disclosure in this Current Report on Form 8-K, and within ten business days, will provide a letter commenting on the disclosure, pursuant to Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation S-K, which will be attached as Exhibit 16.1 upon receipt by the Registrant.
