This Amendment No. 3 (this "Amendment") amends the statement on Schedule 13G
filed on May 29, 2009 (the "Original Schedule 13G), as amended by Amendment No.
1 filed on August 13, 2009, and as further amended by Amendment No. 2 filed on
February 10, 2010 (the Original Schedule 13G as amended, the "Schedule 13G"),
with respect to shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Common
Stock") of Golden Minerals Company, a Delaware corporation (the "Company").
Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined in this Amendment have
the meanings set forth in the Schedule 13G. This Amendment amends and restates
Items 4 and 5 in their entirety as set forth below.


Item 4.   Ownership

          Provide the following information regarding the aggregate number and
percentage of the class of securities of the issuer identified in Item 1.

          (a) Amount beneficially owned:

          As of the date of this filing, (i) Highbridge International LLC
beneficially owns 45,075 shares of Common Stock and (ii) each of Highbridge
Capital Management, LLC and Glenn Dubin may be deemed the beneficial owner of
the 45,075 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Highbridge International
LLC.

          Highbridge Capital Management, LLC is the trading manager of
Highbridge International LLC. Glenn Dubin is the Chief Executive Officer of
Highbridge Capital Management, LLC. The foregoing should not be construed in and
of itself as an admission by any Reporting Person as to beneficial ownership of
shares of Common Stock owned by another Reporting Person. In addition, each of
Highbridge Capital Management, LLC and Glenn Dubin disclaims beneficial
ownership of shares of Common Stock held by Highbridge International LLC.

          (b) Percent of class:

          The Company's Prospectus filed on Form 424B1 on March 19, 2010,
indicates that as of March 19, 2010, there were 8,135,543 shares of Common Stock
issued and outstanding, assuming significant stockholders of the Company do not
elect to purchase any shares of Common Stock they are entilted to purchase.
Therefore, as of the date of this filing, based on the Company's outstanding
shares of Common Stock (i) Highbridge International LLC may be deemed to
beneficially own 0.55% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company
and (ii) each of Highbridge Capital Management, LLC and Glenn Dubin may be
deemed to beneficially own 0.55% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of
the Company. The foregoing should not be construed in and of itself as an
admission by any Reporting Person as to beneficial ownership of shares of Common
Stock owned by another Reporting Person.

          (c) Number of shares as to which such person has:

                       (i)   Sole power to vote or to direct the vote
