RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in our common stock involves a number of very significant risks. You should

carefully consider the following risks and uncertainties in addition to other information in this prospectus in evaluating our company and its business before purchasing shares of our company’s common stock. Our business, operating results and financial condition could be seriously harmed due to any of the following risks. The risks described below are all of the material risks that we are currently aware of that are facing our company. You could lose all or part of your investment due to any of these risks.

 

4

 

 



 

Risks Related to this Offering

 

1.             The price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly as a result of the shares we are registering for the selling stockholders and you may find it difficult for you to realize the current trading price of our common stock.

 

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market could cause a reduction in the market price of our common stock. We have 29,279,400 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2005. When this registration statement is declared effective, the selling stockholders may be reselling up to 10,570,000 shares of our common stock, of which 5,714,000 are included in the number of our issued and outstanding common shares as of June 30, 2005, shown above. As a result of such registration statement, a substantial number of shares of our common stock may become available for immediate resale, which could cause a decrease in the market price of our common stock. As a result of any such decreases in market price of our common stock, purchasers who acquire shares from the selling stockholders may not be able to sell their shares at current market prices, and such purchasers may lose some or all of their investment. To the extent any of the selling stockholders exercise any of their warrants, and then resell the shares of common stock issued to them upon such exercise, the price of our common stock may decrease due to the additional shares of common stock in the market, and, in addition, any significant decrease in the price of our common stock as the selling stockholder sells shares of our common stock could encourage short sales by the selling stockholder or others. Any such short sales could cause the market price of our common stock to decrease even further.

 

2.          Trading on the OTC Bulletin Board may be sporadic because it is not a stock exchange, and stockholders may have difficulty reselling their shares.

 

Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. Trading in stock quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board is often thin and characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices, due to many factors that may have little to do with the company’s operations or business prospects. Moreover, the OTC Bulletin Board is not a stock exchange, and trading of securities on the OTC Bulletin Board is often more sporadic than the trading of securities listed on a quotation system like Nasdaq or a stock exchange like Amex. Accordingly, you may have difficulty reselling any of the shares you purchase from the selling stockholders.

 

3.          The exercise of the warrants and outstanding options will dilute the percentage of common stock owned by each of our existing stockholders.

 

The exercise of warrants and options into common stock will dilute existing stockholders and affect the market price of our common stock. As of June 30, 2005, we had outstanding options and warrants to acquire as many as 5,496,000 shares of our common stock. This includes the warrants held by the selling security holders to acquire shares of common stock. The exercise or conversion of outstanding stock options, warrants or other convertible securities will dilute the percentage ownership of our other stockholders. We lack control over the timing of any exercise or the number of shares offered or sold if exercises or conversions occur.

 

5

 

 



4.          NASD sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

In addition to the “penny stock” rules described below, the NASD has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, the NASD believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The NASD requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in our common stock. As a result, fewer broker-dealers may be willing to make a market in our common stock, reducing a stockholder’s ability to resell shares of our common stock.

 

Risks Related to Our Company

 

5.          We have a going concern opinion from our auditors, indicating the possibility that we may not able to continue to operate.

 

The Company has incurred net losses of $22,588,582 for the period from June 1, 2000 (inception of exploration state) to February 28, 2005. For the year ended May 31, 2004, we incurred a net loss of $21,625,478 and for the nine months ended February 28, 2005, we incurred a net loss of $945,448. Management believes that the gross proceeds of $367,500 generated from the private placement in July 2003, the gross proceeds of $1,080,000 generated from the private placement in November 2003 and $2,060,850 and $1,597,500 during the year ended May 31, 2004 and during the nine months ended February 28, 2005, respectively, we collected from the exercise of stock options issued under our stock option plan will be sufficient to continue our planned activities until May 31, 2006, the end of our current fiscal year. However, we anticipate generating losses for the next 12 months. Therefore, after May 31, 2006, we may be unable to continue operations in the future as a going concern. Our plans to deal with this uncertainty include raising additional capital or entering into a strategic arrangement with a third party. There can be no assurance that our plans can be realized. No adjustment has been made in the accompanying financial statements to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities which could result should we be unable to continue as a going concern. If we cannot continue as a viable entity, our shareholders may lose some or all of their investment in Patriot Gold.

 

6.          Since we lack a significant operating history and have losses which we expect to continue into the future, we may not be able to pursue our business plan.

 

We have not conducted any business since May 2000 and in May 2001, our board of directors determined that it was in the best interest of our stockholders to become active again. We were not successful in finding the right operating business to acquire or merge with and therefore we have determined to become a natural resource exploration company and to seek opportunities in this field. Natural resource exploration and development requires significant capital and our assets and resources are extremely limited. Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow is dependent upon:

 

our ability to acquire and develop natural resource properties

 

6

 

 



our ability to generate revenues

our ability to raise the capital necessary to continue the development of our exploration plan.

 

7.          We expect losses to continue in the future because we have no reserves and, consequently, no revenue to offset losses.

 

Based upon current plans and the fact that we currently do not have any reserves, we expect to incur operating losses in future periods. These losses will occur because we do not have any income-producing reserves to offset the expenses associated with the acquisition of, and exploration of the natural resource properties. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in generating revenues in the future. We recognize that if we are unable to generate significant revenues from the exploration of our optioned mineral claims and the production of minerals thereon, if any, we will not be able to earn profits or continue operations.

 

There is no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we will prove successful, and we can provide investors with no assurance that we will generate any operating revenues or ever achieve profitable operations. If we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks, our business will most likely fail.

 

8.          We will require additional funds to achieve our current business strategy and our inability to obtain additional financing will interfere with our ability to expand our current business operations.

 

If we want to maintain our interest in the MinQuest property, on or before July 25, 2005, we are required to incur no less than $100,000 in expenditures in connection with exploration operations as well as paying MinQuest $20,000. The $100,000 in expenditures is in addition to the $75,000 in expenditures that we were required to make by July 25, 2004. To date we have spent a combined total for the Bruner and Vernal properties optioned from MinQuest of $166,353, and with the approval of MinQuest, on August 27, 2004 we paid the annual payment of $20,000. Although we have $3,743,943 of cash on hand as of February 28, 2005, after May 31, 2006, the end of our current fiscal year, we may need to raise additional funds through public or private debt or equity sales in order to fund and fulfill our contractual obligations with respect to the MinQuest property, the possible purchase of the additional mining properties (though no such pruchases are currently planned), as well as to fund the hiring of any additional personnel that may needed in connection with the exploration of our mining properties. These debt or equity financing may not be available when we need it or may only be available on terms that we deem unacceptable or that would require us to issue securities with terms regarding dilution of book value, dividend preferences, liquidation preferences and voting rights, any or all of which may impair the value of our common stock. Because our operations have been primarily financed through the sale of equity securities, a decline in the price of our common stock could be especially detrimental to our ability to obtain any such financing.

 

Our inability to obtain financing would require us to cut back on or suspend our operations; we could also lose our rights in the mining properties if we fail to meet our contractual expenditure obligations. If we are only able to obtain financing on unfavorable terms, we would have increased cost of financing (both with cash and non-cash charges) that would increase losses or reduce any profits (as the case may be) and increase our use of cash.

 

7

 

 



 

9.          If we do not complete the required option payment and capital expenditure requirements mandated in our agreement with MinQuest, we will lose our interest in the Bruner and Vernal properties and our business may fail.

 

In order to earn a 100% interest in the two Nevada mineral exploration properties which we are currently exploring, we must pay MinQuest, Inc. and incur expenditures relating to mining

operations in accordance with the following schedule:

 

(i)

on or before July 25, 2004, $20,000 to MinQuest and $75,000 in expenditures;

(ii)

on or before July 25, 2005, $20,000 to MinQuest and an additional $100,000 in expenditures;

(iii)

on or before July 25, 2006, $20,000 to MinQuest and an additional $100,000 in expenditures;

(iv)

on or before July 25, 2007, $20,000 to MinQuest and an additional $100,000 in expenditures; and

(v)

on or before July 25, 2008, an additional $125,000 in expenditures.

 

If we have not incurred the requisite expenditures to maintain our option in good standing, we have a 60-day period subsequent to July 25th to make such payment along with such amount which shall be deemed to have been an expenditure incurred by us during such period. Since our payment obligations are non-refundable, if we do not make any payments, we will lose any payments made and all our rights to the properties. To date we have spent a combined total for the exploration of the Bruner and Vernal properties optioned from MinQuest of $166,353, and with the approval of MinQuest, on August 27, 2004 we paid the annual payment of $20,000. While we expect to be able to make our annual payment of $20,000 to MinQuest by July 24, 2005, and we have met our exploration budget for the Bruner property for the period ending May 25, 2005, we have only spent approximately $11,542 on the exploration of the Vernal property, not including the credit of $1,500 from excess exploration expenditures for the period ended July 25, 2004. Because we are waiting the permits for a $75,000 trenching and geochemical sampling program, MinQuest has waived the remaining amount of our obligations for exploration expenditures for the period ending July 25, 2005 with respect to the Vernal property. As a result of this waiver, the $75,000 trenching and geochemical sampling program will be applied towards our obligation for exploration expenditures for the Vernal property due by July 25, 2006. While we expect to be able to begin this exploration program for the Vernal property by the fall of 2005, we cannot be certain when the U.S. Forest Service will grant us our permits or if they will grant us the permits at all. If we fail to get the permit granted or if the delay in the permit process prevents us from completing our current exploration expenditure obligation for the Vernal property by July 25, 2006, we may lose our rights to the Vernal property. If we lose those rights, we would reduce our cash position without any return on our investment, which may cause our business to fail and/or our stock price to go down.

10.        If we lose the services of any of our management team, we will be required to expend significant time and expense in finding qualified replacements so that our operations may continue.

 

We are presently dependent to a great extent upon the experience, abilities and continued services of Ronald Blomkamp, Robert Sibthorpe and Robert Coale. All three individuals have extensive backgrounds in the natural resource industry and each has been instrumental in creating and developing our plan of operations, establishing our business model and obtaining financing. The loss of any of these individuals would negatively impact our operations. If we lost the services of any of these individuals we would be forced to find other qualified management to assist us in location and exploration of a property and/or the raising of debt or equity financing. This would be costly to us in terms of both time and expenses. None of these individuals has an employment agreement with us nor do we have key-man life insurance on them. Therefore, the loss of the services of these individuals would result in us spending time and money finding qualified replacements, which would result in spending less time and money with respect to exploring this property and continuing our operations. Further, if we loss the services of Messrs. Blomkamp, Sibthorpe or Coale, and are unable to find individuals with the same or similar industry knowledge and managerial skill, we would not have the personnel with the competence to continue our operations. As a result, we would be forced to close down operations and dissolve.

 

11.        Three of our directors have agreed to vote their shares of stock together, giving them control of approximately 30.7% of the voting power of the Company and the ability to exercise significant influence over matters submitted for shareholder approval.

 

By virtue of the Shareholders’ Agreement among Messrs. Blomkamp, Sibthorpe and Coale, our directors, have the ability to nominate and appoint a majority to our Board. Since the agreement also provides that the three shareholders shall each vote their 3,000,000 shares together, the three shareholders will control approximately 30.7% of the outstanding voting power of our common stock and have significant influence in determining the outcome of any corporate transaction or other matter submitted to the shareholders for approval. This could have a significant impact on mergers, acquisitions, and the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, and also to prevent or cause a change of control. Each directors ownership percentage is set forth on the table contained in the “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management” on page 20 of this prospectus.

 

12.        Since our officers and directors have the ability to be employed by or consult for other companies, their other activities could slow down our operations.

 

Our officers and directors are not required to work exclusively for us and do not devote all of their time to our operations. Therefore, it is possible that a conflict of interest with regard to their time may arise based on their employment by other companies. Their other activities may prevent them from devoting full-time to our operations which could slow our operations and may reduce our financial results because of the slow down in operations. It is expected that each of our directors will devote between 5 and 10 hours per week to our operations on an ongoing basis, and when required will devote whole days and even multiple days at a stretch when property visits are required or when extensive analysis of information is needed.

13.        We may not have access to all of the supplies and materials we need to begin exploration which could cause us to delay or suspend operations.

 

Competition and unforeseen limited sources of supplies in the industry could result in occasional spot shortages of supplies and certain equipment such as bulldozers and excavators that we might need to conduct exploration. We have located and negotiated with the suppliers of products, equipment and materials that are required for our planned exploration activities. But future availability of products, equipment and materials may from time to time fall into short supply and we may therefore have to suspend our exploration plans until we do find the products, equipment and materials we need. Such delayed or suspended operations could cause us to incur greater losses and may affect our ability to obtain needed funding to continue our operations and/or obtain credit from new suppliers. If we fail to get such funding or credit, our business may fail.

 

Risks Relating to Our Strategy and Industry

14.        Because of the early stage of exploration and the nature of our business, our securities are considered highly speculative.

Our securities must be considered highly speculative, generally because of the nature of our business and the early stage of its development. We are engaged in the business of exploring and, if warranted and feasible, developing natural resource properties. Our current properties are in the exploration stage only and are without known reserves of natural resources. Accordingly, we have not generated any revenues nor have we realized a profit from our operations to date and there is little likelihood that we will generate any revenues or realize any profits in the short term. Any profitability in the future from our business will be dependent upon locating and developing economic reserves of natural resources, which itself is subject to numerous risk factors as set forth herein. Since we have not generated any revenues, we will have to raise additional monies through the sale of our equity securities or debt in order to continue our business operations.

15.        Because of the speculative nature of exploration and development, there is a substantial risk that our business will fail.

The search for valuable natural resources as a business is extremely risky. We can provide investors with no assurance that the property we have optioned in Nevada contains commercially exploitable reserves. Exploration for natural reserves is a speculative venture involving substantial risk. Therefore, determination of the existence of a reserve will depend on appropriate and sufficient exploration work and the evaluation of legal, economic, and environmental factors. Few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing commercially feasible reserves. Problems such as unusual or unexpected formations and other conditions are involved in mineral exploration and often result in unsuccessful exploration efforts. Because the probability of an individual prospect ever having reserves is extremely remote, in all probability our properties do not contain any reserves, and any funds we spent on exploration will probably be lost. If we fail to find a commercially viable deposit on any of our properties, we would incur an impairment of our investment in such properties and may result in losses in relation to amounts spent in the exploration of our properties, which may not be recoverable, and, as a result, we may go out of business unless we can find financing to acquire additional exploration properties.

 

10

 

 



16.        It is possible that there may be native or aboriginal claims to our property which could result in us incurring additional expenses to explore any of our properties.

Although we believe that we have the right to explore our exploration properties , we cannot substantiate that there are no native or aboriginal claims to any such properties. If a native or aboriginal claim is made to any of our exploration properties, we may be unable to explore such properties as permitted or to enforce our rights with respect to such properties and we would have to incur significant legal fees protecting our right to explore any such properties. We may also have to pay third parties to settle such claims. If it is determined that there is a legitimate claim to any of our exploration properties, then we may be forced to return such exploration properties without adequate or any consideration. Even if there is no legal basis for such claim, the costs involved in resolving such matter may force us to delay or curtail our exploration activities completely.

17.           Our exploration activities and any future mining activities that we may have are, and will be, subject to numerous environmental laws, regulations and permitting requirements that can delay our exploration activities and future mining activities and could result in significant fines that could wipe out our assets and resources on our balance sheet that would otherwise be used for exploration or future mining activities and result in greater losses or decreased profits in our results of operations

Our operations are subject to extensive federal, state and local laws and regulations concerning the discharge of materials into the environment and the remediation of chemical contamination. To satisfy such requirements, we may have to make capital and other expenditures on an ongoing basis. For example, environmental agencies continue to develop regulations implementing the Federal Clean Air Act. Depending on the nature of the regulations adopted, we may be required to incur additional capital and other expenditures in the next several years for air pollution control equipment, to maintain or obtain operating permits and approvals, and to address other air emission-related issues. Future expenditures relating to environmental matters will necessarily depend upon the application to our properties of future regulations and government decisions. It is likely that we will be subject to increasingly stringent environmental standards and the additional expenditures related to compliance with such standards. Furthermore, if we fail to comply with applicable environmental regulations, we could be subject to substantial fines or penalties and to civil and criminal liability.

Under applicable state and federal laws, we may be responsible for, among other things, all or part of the costs required to remove or remediate wastes or hazardous substances at locations we have owned or operated at any time. The discovery of previously unknown contamination or the imposition of new clean-up requirements could require us to incur costs or become subject to new or increased liabilities that would require us to use significant amounts of the current assets on our balance sheets. The expenditures of our cash and cash equivalents on environmental-related liabilities, if significant, would wipe out our assets and resources on our balance sheet, and such expenditures would result in steep losses or the elimination of profits (as the case may be) in our results of operations.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus contains forward-looking statements which relate to future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may”, “should”, “expects”, “plans”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “estimates”, “predicts”, “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks in the section entitled “Risk Factors” on pages 4 to 12, that may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the direction of our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions or other future performance suggested herein. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.

THE OFFERING

This prospectus relates to the resale by certain selling security holders of Patriot Gold Corp. of up to 10,570,000 shares of our common stock in connection with the resale of:

 

up to 1,214,000 shares of our common stock which were issued in a private placement in July 2003 and a private placement in November 2003;

 

up to 4,856,000 shares of our common stock which may be issued upon exercise of certain warrants issued in connection with the private placements;

 

up to 4,500,000 shares of our common stock held by one of the selling security holders.

 

 

The selling security holders may offer to sell the shares of common stock being offered in this prospectus at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at varying prices or at negotiated prices. We will not receive any proceeds from the resale of shares of our common stock by the selling stockholders. However, if all the warrants were exercised, we would receive a maximum of $7,162,600 as a result of such exercises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there is no assurance that any of the warrants will be exercised by the warrant holders.

USE OF PROCEEDS

The shares of common stock offered hereby are being registered for the account of the selling security holders named in this prospectus. As a result, all proceeds from the sales of the common stock will go to the selling stockholders and we will not receive any proceeds from the resale of the common stock by the selling stockholders. We will, however, incur all costs associated with this registration statement and prospectus, which are currently estimated to be approximately $20,000. Although there is no assurance that any of the warrants will be exercised, if they are exercised we would receive proceeds of up to $7,162,600 (assuming all warrants are exercised prior to expiry). If we receive any proceeds from the exercise of the warrants, these proceeds will be used for general working capital purposes.

SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS

The selling security holders may offer and sell, from time to time, any or all of the common stock issued and the common stock issuable to them upon exercise of the warrants. Because the selling security holders may offer all or only some portion of the 10,570,000 shares of common stock to be registered, no estimate can be given as to the amount or percentage of these shares of common stock that will be held by the selling security holders upon termination of the offering.

The following table sets forth certain information regarding the beneficial ownership of shares of common stock by the selling security holders as of June 30, 2005, and the number of shares of common stock covered by this prospectus. The number of shares in the table represents an estimate of the number of shares of common stock to be offered by the selling stockholder. To our knowledge, none of the selling security holders is a broker-dealer, or an affiliate of a broker-dealer.

Except for Bruce Johnstone, who was our sole officer and director from October 2002 until his resignation in July 2003, none of the selling security holders has any position, office or material relationship with us. Except as otherwise, indicated, all securities are owned directly.

The warrants issued in the July 2003 private placement are exercisable as follows: 350,000 warrants at $1.40 per share, 350,000 warrants are exercisable at $1.45 per share, 350,000 warrants are exercisable at $1.50 per share, and 350,000 warrants are exercisable at $1.55 per share. We reserved the right, in our sole discretion, to decrease the exercise price of the warrants and extend the expiration date of the warrants. These warrants currently expire on October 25, 2006.

The 864,000 Class A-1 warrants issued in the November 2003 private placement became exercisable on November 27, 2004, the 864,000 Class B-1 warrants are not exercisable until November 27, 2005, the 864,000 Class C-1 warrants are not exercisable until November 27, 2006 and the 864,000 Class D-1 warrants are not exercisable until November 27, 2007. The exercise price of the Class A-1 warrants, the Class B-1 warrants, the Class C-1 warrants and the Class D-1 warrants are $1.40 per share, $1.45 per share, $1.50 per share and $1.55 per share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, because we may accelerate the exercise date of the warrants issued in the November 2003 private placement, such warrants are included in the beneficial ownership of the selling security holders (to the extent any of them hold such securities).

We will file a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to reflect any material changes to this prospectus.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The selling security holders may, from time to time, sell all or a portion of the shares of common stock on any market upon which the common stock may be listed or quoted (currently the National Association of Securities Dealers OTC Bulletin Board in the United States), in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such sales may be at fixed prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to the market prices or at negotiated prices. The shares of common stock being offered for resale by this prospectus may be sold by the selling security holders by one or more of the following methods, without limitation:

(a) an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

(b) ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers;

(c) privately negotiated transactions;

(d) market sales (both long and short to the extent permitted under the federal securities laws);

(e) at the market to or through market makers or into an existing market for the shares;

(f) through transactions in options, swaps or other derivatives (whether exchange listed or otherwise); and

(g) a combination of any of the aforementioned methods of sale.

In the event of the transfer by any of the selling security holders of its warrants or common shares to any pledgee, donee or other transferee, we will amend this prospectus and the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part by the filing of a post-effective amendment in order to have the pledgee, donee or other transferee in place of the selling stockholder who has transferred his, her or its shares.

In effecting sales, brokers and dealers engaged by the selling security holders may arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate. Brokers or dealers may receive commissions or discounts from a selling stockholder or, if any of the broker-dealers act as an agent for the purchaser of such shares, from a purchaser in amounts to be negotiated which are not expected to exceed those customary in the types of transactions involved. Broker-dealers may agree with a selling stockholder to sell a specified number of the shares of common stock at a stipulated price per share. Such an agreement may also require the broker-dealer to purchase as principal any unsold shares of common stock at the price required to fulfill the broker-dealer commitment to the selling stockholder if such broker-dealer is unable to sell the shares on behalf of the selling stockholder. Broker-dealers who acquire shares of common stock as principal may thereafter resell the shares of common stock from time to time in transactions which may involve block transactions and sales to and through other broker-dealers, including transactions of the nature described above. Such sales by a broker-dealer could be at prices and on terms then prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to the then-current market price or in negotiated transactions. In connection with such resales, the broker-dealer may pay to or receive from the purchasers of the shares commissions as described above.

 

15

 

 



The selling security holders and any broker-dealers or agents that participate with the selling stockholders in the sale of the shares of common stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with these sales. In that event, any commissions received by the broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares of common stock purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.

From time to time, any of the selling security holders may pledge shares of common stock pursuant to the margin provisions of customer agreements with brokers. Upon a default by a selling security holder, their broker may offer and sell the pledged shares of common stock from time to time. Upon a sale of the shares of common stock, the selling security holders intend to comply with the prospectus delivery requirements under the Securities Act by delivering a prospectus to each purchaser in the transaction. We intend to file any amendments or other necessary documents in compliance with the Securities Act which may be required in the event any of the selling stockholders defaults under any customer agreement with brokers.

To the extent required under the Securities Act, a post effective amendment to this registration statement will be filed disclosing the name of any broker-dealers, the number of shares of common stock involved, the price at which the common stock is to be sold, the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealers, where applicable, that such broker-dealers did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in this prospectus and other facts material to the transaction.

We and the selling security holders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations under it, including, without limitation, Rule 10b-5 and, insofar as a selling stockholder is a distribution participant and we, under certain circumstances, may be a distribution participant, under Regulation M. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the common stock.

All expenses of the registration statement including, but not limited to, legal, accounting, printing and mailing fees are and will be borne by us. Any commissions, discounts or other fees payable to brokers or dealers in connection with any sale of the shares of common stock will be borne by the selling security holders, the purchasers participating in such transaction, or both.

Any shares of common stock covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as amended, may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus.

Blue Sky Restrictions on Resale

When a selling security holder wants to sell shares of our common stock under this registration statement, the selling security holders will also need to comply with state securities laws, also known as “Blue Sky laws,” with regard to secondary sales. All states offer a variety of exemption from registration for secondary sales. Many states, for example, have an exemption for secondary trading of securities registered under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or for securities of issuers that publish continuous disclosure of financial and non-financial information in a recognized securities manual, such as Standard & Poor’s. The broker for a selling security holder will be able to advise a selling security holder which states our common stock is exempt from registration with that state for secondary sales.

 

16

 

 



Any person who purchases shares of our common stock from a selling security holder under this registration statement who then wants to sell such shares will also have to comply with Blue Sky laws regarding secondary sales.

When the registration statement becomes effective, and a selling security holder indicates in which state(s) he desires to sell his shares, the Company will be able to identify whether it will need to register or will rely on an exemption there from.

Penny Stock Regulations

You should note that our stock is a penny stock. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which generally defines “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors”. The term “accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We do not know of any existing or pending legal proceedings against our company, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any proceeding or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial shareholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest.

Business Experience

The following is a brief account of the education and business experience of each director, executive officer and key employee during at least the past five years, indicating each person’s principal occupation during the period, and the name and principal business of the organization by which he was employed.

Ronald C. Blomkamp has been our Chairman, President, Chief Executive and Operating Officer and Secretary since July 21, 2003. For the five years prior to becoming a director and officer to our company, Mr. Blomkamp acted on his own behalf investing in the stock markets. With a focus on the natural resource sector, his daily involvement in this area saw him making many strategic partnerships amongst the various professionals working in this field. Prior to this, he lived in South Africa and has worked extensively at the face of many of the world’s deepest gold mines and across several facets of the industry, and has collaborated with the South African Chamber of Mines on rock mechanics, safety and efficiency. He holds several patents relating to advanced mining technology. Mr. Blomkamp holds a Diploma in Production Engineering from Witwatersrand College for Advanced Technology in South Africa, and for sixteen years from March of 1978 to 1994 worked at Edward L Bateman (now called ELB Group), a publicly listed company and South Africa’s leading mining services company. During this time he acted in a variety of capacities, including Group Industrial Engineer (1978 – 1981), Engineering Manager (1981 – 1987), and Technical Director (1987 to 1994), where he oversaw all aspects of plant production and manufacturing as well as quality assurance and product development. ELB Group’s services included the design and production of mining equipment for the processing of mineral ore, as well as equipment for mine excavation and shaft drilling, and the production of equipment for separating metals from the base rock component. Mr. Blomkamp has collaborated with the South African Chamber of Mines on rock mechanics, safety and efficiency. He also holds several patents relating to advanced mining technology.

Robert A. Sibthorpe has been a director since June 23, 2003, and is an exploration Geologist and Financial Analyst with more than 30 years of multi-disciplinary experience in many aspects of the natural resource sector. Since the beginning of 2003 he has acted as an independent consultant and director. From March 2003, to November 2003 Mr. Sibthorpe sat on the Board of Freegold Ventures Corp., a Canadian listed public company that is an exploration stage mining company, and since June of 2001 has provided independent consulting services to Rare Earth Metals Corp., another Canadian listed public company that is an exploration stage mining company. From January 2003 to March 2003 Mr. Sibthorpe was involved with project generation and review for Olympus Pacific Minerals Ltd., a company listed on the Toronto Venture Exchange that is an exploration stage mining company. From January, 2001 to January of 2003 Mr. Sibthorpe acted as Senior Vice President of Business Development in Vancouver for Ivanhoe Mines Ltd., a Toronto Stock Exchange listed public company that is a reserve stage mid-tier copper and iron ore producer, where he was responsible for evaluating new opportunities, and for advancing properties of merit already held by the company. By forming and running a “Small Mines Unit”, he was directly responsible for placing into commercial production, an epithermal gold deposit in Korea and advancing two other Asian gold properties to the Feasibility Study level. From May of 1999 to January of 2001 Mr. Sibthorpe was Senior Mining Analyst for Canaccord Capital Corp. (Vancouver), a private Canadian brokerage house. In 1997 and 1998 Mr. Sibthorpe acted as an independent consultant and director based out of Phoenix, Arizona, and from May 1997 to August of 2000 acted as an outside director for InnovaCom Inc., a U.S. public developmental stage technology company that focuses on video compression technology. Mr. Sibthorpe also acts as a Director for Madison Enterprises, a Toronto listed public company that is an exploration stage mining company, and has done so since October of 1996. From June of 1986 to September of 1996 Mr. Sibthorpe acted as Director and Senior Analyst Corporate Finance (Canada), working in Toronto and Vancouver for Yorkton Securities Inc., a private brokerage house that directly or through syndication raised some $3 billion in equity capital for the mining sector during that ten year period.

Potential Conflicts of Interest

Since our sole officer and our directors work for other natural resource exploration companies, there exists the possibility of conflicts of interest between us, our officer and directors and such other companies. For example, the officer or director may locate a corporate opportunity and present it to another company before presenting it to us.

Our officer and directors have been made aware that under Nevada corporate law the business opportunity must first be offered to us, when and if:

(1)

we are financially able to exploit the opportunity;

 

(2)

the opportunity is within our line of business;

 

(3)

we have an interest or expectancy in the opportunity; and

 

(4)

by taking the opportunity, the director breaches his duty of care or loyalty owed to us.

If the situation results in the officer or director being interested in the matter, the interest will be disclosed to the other board members who shall approve or disapprove of the action. Furthermore, our officer and directors will keep in confidence all confidential information about us.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

 

The following table sets forth, as of June 30, 2005, certain information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our common stock by each stockholder known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our common stock and by each of our current directors and executive officers. Each person has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares of common stock, except as otherwise indicated. Information relating to beneficial ownership of common stock by our principal stockholders and management is based upon information furnished by each person using “beneficial ownership” concepts under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Under these rules, a person is deemed to be a beneficial owner of a security if that person has or shares voting power, which includes the power to vote or direct the voting of the security, or investment power, which includes the power to vote or direct the voting of the security. The person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any security of which that person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days. Under the Securities and Exchange Commission rules, more than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities, and a person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of securities as to which he or she may not have any pecuniary beneficial interest. The following table assumes that there are 29,279,400 shares issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2005.

In June 2003, we issued 13,500,000 Series A 7% Redeemable Preferred Shares to Bruce Johnstone, our officer and director from October 2002 until July 2003. In September 2003, Mr. Johnstone exchanged his 13,500,000 preferred shares for 13,500,000 shares of our common stock. On January 22, 2004, Mr. Johnstone transferred 9,000,000 shares of common stock to our three directors without any compensation; the value of those shares on January 24, 2004 was $16,254,000 (based on a discount of approximately 16% on $2.15, which was the closing price of our common stock on the OTC at the close of trading on January 22, 2004). The value of the shares transferred to our three directors was discounted by approximately 16% from the market value of $2.15 per share because they are restricted. The current value of those shares, as of June 28, 2005, was 3.33 million. Mr. Johnstone transferred the shares to the three of our directors in exchange for our agreement to register his remaining shares of common stock. We entered into such an agreement in order to align the interest of directors with those of our shareholders.

Shareholders’ Agreement

 

Messrs. Blomkamp, Sibthorpe and Coale are party to a Shareholders’ Agreement dated as of January 22, 2004. The agreement provides that for so long as the person holds any of the 3,000,000 shares which he received from Bruce Johnstone, the directors shall vote such shares to maintain three persons on our board. Upon any vote to appoint representatives to the Board, each shareholder agreed that he shall vote his shares for the other two shareholders. If one of the three shareholders is no longer a shareholder, or if the Board or our shareholders decided to remove one of the Board members, or the shareholder no longer holds any of the 3,000,000 shares which he received from Mr. Johnstone, then the other two shareholders agreed to vote their shares together to either maintain the number of Board members as two or to nominate and appoint a third Board member. The agreement also provides that for all other matters in which shares are voted, the three shareholders shall vote their 3,000,000 shares together as determined by the decision of two of the three shareholders. These three shareholders had determined that such agreement would be beneficial in maintaining control among themselves over the shares that they had received from Mr. Johnstone.

 

The shareholders also agreed that he will not, directly or indirectly, sell, pledge, gift or in any other way dispose of any of the 3,000,000 shares which he received from Mr. Johnstone. This transfer restriction shall apply to such shares in all situations during all times that such individual holds any of the 3,000,000 shares. Although the shareholders’ agreement restricts transfers of the shares received from Mr. Johnstone and held by the directors, a director can no longer hold the shares which he received from Mr. Johnstone if he dies or if the agreement is amended by the parties to permit a transfer. The Company is not aware of any such amendment being contemplated by the parties.

 

We are unaware of any other contract or other arrangement the operation of which may at a subsequent date result in a change in control of our company.

 

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

We are authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of common stock. As of June 30, 2005, we have issued 29,279,400 shares of common stock. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the company, the holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in all net assets available for distribution to stockholders after payment to creditors. The common stock is not convertible or redeemable and has no preemptive, subscription or conversion rights. Each outstanding share of common stock is entitled to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. There are no cumulative voting rights.

The holders of outstanding shares of common stock are entitled to receive dividends out of assets legally available therefore at such times and in such amounts as our board of directors may from time to time determine. Holders of common stock will share equally on a per share basis in any dividend declared by the board of directors. We have not paid any dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on such stock in the foreseeable future.

 

23

 

 



In the event of a merger or consolidation, all holders of common stock will be entitled to receive the same per share consideration.

We authorized the issuance of up 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, with timing and terms at the discretion of our board. We could issue shares of voting or convertible stock, or rights to purchase such shares could be issued, to create voting impediments or to frustrate persons seeking to effect a takeover or otherwise gain control of our company. The ability of our board to issue such shares of preferred stock, with rights and preferences it deems advisable, could discourage an attempt by a party to acquire control of the company by tender offer or other means. Such issuances could therefore deprive stockholders of benefits that could result from such an attempt, such as the realization of a premium over the market price for their shares in a tender offer or the temporary increase in market price that such an attempt could cause. Moreover, the issuance of such additional shares of preferred stock to persons friendly to the board could make it more difficult to remove incumbent managers and directors from office even if such change were to be favorable to stockholders generally. At the present time, we are not aware of any contemplated mergers, tender offers or other plans by a third party to attempt to effect a change in control of the company.

 

In June 2003, we issued 13,500,000 Series A 7% Redeemable Preferred Shares to Bruce Johnstone, our former officer and director. In September 2003, Mr. Johnstone exchanged his 13,500,000 preferred shares for 13,500,000 shares of our common stock. The market price of a share of common shares on the date of said exchange was $1.40 per share. No shares of preferred stock are issued as of the date of this prospectus.

 

We have issued an aggregate of 5,290,000 options to purchase our common stock at prices ranging from $0.05 - $1.50 per share pursuant to our Amended 2003 Stock Option Plan, consisting of a share purchase plan and a share option plan, of which 4,650,000 had been exercised at June 30, 2004. Shares issuable pursuant to fully vested options at June 30, 2004, totaled 455,000. We reserved 5,546,000 shares for grant under the Amended 2003 Stock Option Plan and have issued 4,650,000 of such shares to date.

 

We have outstanding 1,400,000 warrants to purchase 1,400,000 shares of our common stock, which are exercisable until October 2006. 350,000 warrants are exercisable at $1.40 per share, 350,000 warrants are exercisable at $1.45 per share, 350,000 warrants are exercisable at $1.50 per share, and 350,000 warrants are exercisable at $1.55 per share. We reserved the right, in our sole discretion, to decrease the exercise price of the warrants and extend the expiration date of the warrants. These warrants were issued in a private placement to Almir Ramic, Paul Uppal and David Langley, three foreign investors in July 2003 in connection with their purchase of units issued by us.

 

We have outstanding 3,456,000 warrants to purchase 3,456,000 shares of our common stock, which we issued in the November 2003 private placement. The 864,000 warrants which are exercisable at $1.40 per share are not exercisable until November 27, 2004; the 864,000 warrants which are exercisable at $1.45 per share are not exercisable until November 27, 2005, the 864,000 warrants which are exercisable at $1.50 per share are not exercisable until November 27, 2006, and the 864,000 warrants which are exercisable at $1.55 per share are not exercisable

 

24

 

 



until November 27, 2007. All the warrants issued in the November 2003 private placement are exercisable until, and terminate on, November 27, 2009. We reserved the right, in our sole discretion, to accelerate the exercise date of the warrants, to decrease the exercise price of the warrants and extend the expiration date of the warrants. If we elect to exercise any of these rights, in accordance with the provisions of the warrant agreement, we will give notice to each holder of a warrant by (i) hand delivery, (ii) a nationally recognized overnight courier, or by registered or (iii) certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested to the address of each holder as set forth in the warrant agreement. These warrants were issued in a private placement to Almir Ramic, Colin Bruce Worth and Jill Kurucz, three foreign investors, in November 2003 in connection with their purchase of units issued by us.

 

Except for these warrants and options, there are no outstanding options, warrants, or rights to purchase any of the securities of Patriot Gold Corp.

 

PRIVATE PLACEMENTS

On July 25, 2003 we issued Almir Ramic, Paul Uppal and David Langley, three non-United States accredited investors, an aggregate of 350,000 shares of common stock and 350,000 Class A warrants, 350,000 Class B warrants, 350 Class C warrants and 350,000 Class D warrants in a private placement relying on the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Regulation S and/or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. The issuance of these warrants was made to accredited investors without any general solicitation or advertisement and a restriction on resale

Each Class A, Class B, Class C and Class D warrant is exercisable for three years at a price of $1.40, $1.45, $1.50 and $1.55, respectively, for one share of common stock.

The private offering of the Class A, Class B, Class C and Class D warrants generated gross proceeds of $367,500. The proceeds are being used for working capital.

On November 27, 2003 we issued Almir Ramic, Colin Bruce Worth and Jill Kurucz, three non-United States accredited investors an aggregate of 864,000 shares of common stock and 864,000 Class A-1 warrants, 864,000 Class B-1 warrants, 864,000 Class C-1 warrants and 864,000 Class D-1 warrants in a private placement relying on the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Regulation S and/or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. The issuance of these warrants was made to accredited investors without any general solicitation or advertisement and a restriction on resale

The Class A-1 warrants are exercisable on November 27, 2004 for a period of 5 years at an exercise price of $1.40 per share of common stock; the Class B-1 warrants are exercisable on November 27, 2005 for a period of 4 years at an exercise price of $1.45; the Class C-1 warrants are exercisable on November 27, 2006 for a period of 3 years at an exercise price of $1.50; and the Class D-1 warrants are exercisable on November 27, 2007 for a period of 2 years at an exercise price of $1.55 per share.

The private offering of the Class A-1, Class B-1, Class C-1 and Class D-1 warrants generated gross proceeds of $1,080,000. The proceeds are being used for working capital.

CONVERSION OF PREFERRED STOCK

Bruce Johnstone was the sole president and officer of the Company from October 2002 until his resignation in July 2003. In June 2003, we issued 13,500,000 Series A 7% Redeemable Preferred Shares to Mr. Johnstone. Each preferred share had the right to vote with the common shares on all matters requiring stockholder vote. The preferred shares were entitled to receive, when and as declared by our Board, a non-cumulative dividend at the rate of 7% per annum equal to the redemption price. We had the right to redeem all or any portion of the outstanding preferred shares at the redemption price plus any dividends that were declared but not yet paid. The redemption price of the preferred shares was the par value of said share, or $0.001 per share. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holder of the preferred shares was entitled to receive, prior to any distributions to the holders of the common stock, the redemption price for their outstanding shares together with any declared but unpaid dividends. We issued the Series A 7% Redeemable Preferred Shares to Mr. Johnstone in consideration for Mr. Johnstone’s services as our sole officer and director (and sole employee). Since the preferred shares voted with the common shares and were entitled to a non-cumulative dividend, we believed that such shares were the proper compensation to be issued

When Mr. Johnstone ceased working for us, he requested that we exchange his preferred shares for common shares. Since there was no need for either the preferred shares to remain outstanding or for Mr. Johnstone to retain preferred shares, as of September 2, 2003, we executed and delivered an agreement with Mr. Johnstone whereby he exchanged his 13,500,000 Series A 7% Redeemable Preferred Shares for 13,500,000 shares of our common stock. There was no additional consideration between Mr. Johnstone and us for such exchange. However, Mr. Johnstone agreed to consider transferring an aggregate of 9,000,000 shares of his common stock to our current directors. We initially had agreed to file a registration statement covering the 4,500,000 shares of common stock held by Mr. Johnstone prior to December 31, 2003 or in the next registration statement we prepare if filed prior to such date. Mr. Johnstone agreed to waive his registration rights until December 31, 2004. Upon the expiration of his waiver, Mr. Johnstone exercised his registration rights by requesting that his 4,500,000 share of common stock be included in this registration statement. In February 2005, we added Mr. Johnstone’s shares to the registration statement.

DISCLOSURE OF SEC POSITION OF

INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

Our bylaws provide that directors and officers shall be indemnified by us to the fullest extent authorized by the Nevada General Corporation Law, against all expenses and liabilities reasonably incurred in connection with services for us or on our behalf. The bylaws also authorize the board of directors to indemnify any other person who we have the power to indemnify under the Nevada General Corporation Law, and indemnification for such a person may be greater or different from that provided in the bylaws.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act might be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling our company under the provisions described above, we have been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

 

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

History

 

We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on November 30, 1998. We were originally organized to engage in the business of breeding, raising and marketing ostriches, ostrich meat and ostrich by-products to the wholesale and retail markets. We operated from November 30, 1998 through approximately May 31, 2000, when we ceased all operations due to lack of capital.

 

On or about May 1, 2001, the directors determined that it was in the best interest of our stockholders to become active again and we began seeking potential operating businesses and business opportunities with the intent to acquire or merge with such businesses. We are considered an exploration state stage company. Our offices are currently located at #501-1775 Bellevue Avenue, West Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V7V 1A9. Our telephone number is (604) 925-5257. We maintain a website at www.patriotgoldcorp.com. Information contained on our website does not form part of this prospectus.

 

Mr. Manfred Schultz and Mr. Gerald Hinkley were our sole officers and directors from inception in November 1998, until they resigned on October 31, 2002. During such time, Messrs. Schultz and Hinkley were responsible for maintaining the company in compliance with all SEC and other rules and regulations and for finding a suitable business opportunity to acquire or merge with the company. On October 20, 2002, Mr. Bruce Johnstone was appointed to the board of directors and as an officer. On October 31, 2002, Mr. Manfred Schultz and Mr. Gerald Hinkley resigned as directors and officers of the company. The resignations were offered for personal reasons and not for any disagreement with management of the company or its policies. Both resigning directors and the company parted ways on good terms.

 

27

 

 



 

In June 2003, we filed an Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada changing the name of our company and authorizing the issuance of preferred stock.

 

On June 12, 2003, we issued 13,500,000 Series A 7% Redeemable Preferred Shares to Mr. Bruce Johnstone, our director and officer, in consideration for his services; this issuance having been previously approved by a vote of both the Board of Directors and the majority stockholders. Mr. Johnstone is an accredited investor (as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D) and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that he is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of this investment. Each Series A 7% Redeemable Preferred Share had the right to vote with the common shares on all matters requiring stockholder vote, including without limitation the election of directors. Mr. Johnstone received the shares in lieu of cash compensation for the services he provided to us. These services included, without limitation, the determination to transform the company from the then business of ostrich meat production to the current business activity of resource exploration and ensuring that the company would maintain its corporate existence. During this process, Mr. Johnstone was responsible for finding and securing qualified directors for the board, which made up the new management team for the company. Along with this he was also responsible for arranging and closing our July 2003 private placement financing. These funds provided the necessary funding to secure the first resource exploration projects which Mr. Johnstone established when he signed the Letter of Intent with Minquest Inc. on June 27, 2003.

 

On June 13, 2003, Messrs. Schultz and Hinkley, our former officers and directors, returned a total of 700,000 shares of common stock to us for cancellation. Given the fact that said individuals were no longer affiliated with the company, at our request they agreed to return 70% of their holdings in the company. We determined that having them maintain 30% of their initial holdings in the company was adequate consideration for the four years’ of services which they had performed. Since Messrs. Schultz and Hinkley were satisfied with our business plan to make the company a natural resource exploration company, they did not request any consideration for the return of their shares. On June 17, 2003, each issued and outstanding share of common stock was forward split at a rate of one for seven and six-tenths (1:7.6) so that each share of common stock became equal to 7.6 shares.

 

On June 17, 2003, we received a new trading symbol to reflect the company name change and forward split of the common stock. The new trading symbol is PGOL.

 

On June 23, 2003 the Board adopted a resolution to (i) increase the number of positions on the Board to a total of three and (ii) appointed to the newly created positions Mr. Robert A. Sibthorpe of Vancouver, B.C. and Mr. Robert D. Coale of Agoura Hills, CA.

 

On July 21, 2003. Mr. Bruce Johnstone resigned as an officer and director. The resignation was offered for personal reasons and not for any disagreement with management of the company or its policies. On July 21, 2003, Mr. Ronald C. Blomkamp was appointed as the President, Chief Executive and Financial Officer and Secretary and a director of the company.

 

Plan of Operation

 

We are a natural resource exploration company with an objective of acquiring, exploring, and if warranted and feasible, developing natural resource properties. Our primary focus in the natural resource sector is gold. We do not consider ourselves a “blank check” company required to comply with Rule 419 of the Securities and Exchange Commission, because we were not organized for the purpose of effecting, and our business plan is not to effect, a merger with or acquisition of an unidentified company or companies, or other entity or person. We do not intend to merge with or acquire another company in the next 12 months.

 

28

 

 



 

Though we have the expertise on our board of directors to take a resource property that hosts a viable ore deposit into mining production, the costs and time frame for doing so are considerable, and the subsequent return on investment for our shareholders would be very long term indeed. We therefore anticipate selling any ore bodies that we may discover to a major mining company. Most major mining companies obtain their ore reserves through the purchase of ore bodies found by junior exploration companies. Although these major mining companies do some exploration work themselves, many of them rely on the junior resource exploration companies to provide them with future deposits for them to mine. By selling a deposit found by us to these major mining companies, it would provide an immediate return to our shareholders without the long time frame and cost of putting a mine into operation ourselves, and it would also provide future capital for the company to continue operations.

The search for valuable natural resources as a business is extremely risky. We can provide investors with no assurance that the property we have optioned in Nevada contains commercially exploitable reserves. Exploration for natural reserves is a speculative venture involving substantial risk. Few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing commercially feasible reserves. Problems such as unusual or unexpected formations and other conditions are involved in mineral exploration and often result in unsuccessful exploration efforts. In such a case, we would be unable to complete our business plan and any money spent on exploration would be lost.

Natural resource exploration and development requires significant capital and our assets and resources are limited. Therefore, we anticipate participating in the natural resource industry through the purchase of small interests in producing properties, the purchase of property where feasibility studies already exist or by the optioning of natural resource exploration and development projects. To date we have several properties under option, and are in the early stages of exploring these properties. There has been no indication as yet that any mineral deposits exist on these properties, and there is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on any of our properties. Further exploration will be required before a final evaluation as to the economic and legal feasibility is determined.

In the following discussion, there are references to “patented” mining claims and “unpatented” mining claims. A patented mining claim is one for which the U.S. government has passed its title to the claimant, giving that person title to the land as well as the minerals and other resources above and below the surface. The patented claim is then treated like any other private land and is subject to local property taxes. An unpatented mining claim on U.S. government lands establishes a claim to the locatable minerals (also referred to as stakeable minerals) on the land and the right of possession solely for mining purposes. No title to the land passes to the claimant. If a proven economic mineral deposit is developed, provisions of federal mining laws permit owners of unpatented mining claims to patent (to obtain title to) the claim. If you purchase an unpatented mining claim that is later declared invalid by the U.S. government, you could be evicted.

Exploration Programs

 

Bruner Project: The property is located approximately 130 miles east-southeast of Reno, Nevada at the northern end of the Paradise Range. Access from Fallon, the closest town of any size, is by 50 miles of paved highway and 16 miles of gravel roads.

 

We hold the property via 16 unpatented mining claims (320 acres). We have an option on the property with MinQuest, Inc., a Nevada Corporation, which terminates if, prior to July 25, 2008, we fail to make any payments when due to MinQuest, Inc. or complete property expenditures as required by the option. The option will have been fully exercised, and we can earn a 100 percent interest in these claims if we make payments to MinQuest of $70,000 and spend $275,000 in exploration over a five year period ending on July 25, 2008. On July 25, 2003, we paid MinQuest $10,000 with respect to the Bruner property, and we owe an additional $60,000 which is due in four equal annual installments commencing on July 25, 2004. With the approval of MinQuest, we paid the first installment late on August 27, 2004. We expect to pay the second installment before the July 25, 2005 deadline. By July 25, 2004, we were to have spent $50,000 on exploration, and by that date we had spent $64,000 on exploration of the Bruner property. The $14,000 in excess of our required expenditures will be applied to our exploration commitment due by July 25, 2005. We are obligated to spend another $225,000 on exploration over the next

four years as follows: $50,000 by each of July 25, 2005, 2006 and 2007 and $75,000 by July 25, 2008. As noted below, for the period ending July 24, 2005, we have spent approximately $154,811 (not include the $14,000 excess from 2004)on a seven hole drilling program that began drilling on the Bruner property on December 20, 2004 and ended in March 2005. The $104,811 excess from 2005 along with the $14,000 excess from 2004 will be applied to our future exploration commitments (due on July 25, 2006, 2007 and 2008) with respect to the Bruner property. A three percent NSR production royalty is retained by MinQuest.

 

There is no drilled resource on our claims.

 

The original operators at the Bruner property are unknown. Prospecting at our Bruner property began in the early 1900’s while mining was occurring on other properties located to the west. However, modern exploration of the property began in 1983 and included the following work:

 

 

In 1983, Kennecott drilled fifteen RC holes (holes left after the process of reverse circulation drilling) on the property.

 

In 1988-1990, Newmont Exploration Ltd. drilled approximately 10 RC drill holes; conducted detailed geologic mapping (producing a plan map of the rock types, structure and alteration), geochemical surveys (which is sampling of rocks or soil and determination of the absolute abundances of elements), air and ground magnetic surveys (recording variations in the earth’s magnetic field and plotting same), and ground radiometric survey (a survey of radioactive materials on the land surface).

 

In 1990-1995, Miramar Mining Corp. drilled 5 RC drill holes and conducted BLEG (bulk leach extractable gold) sampling and air photo interpretation. BLEG sampling involves a large sample of soil or rock that is bleached using cyanide to determine gold and silver content down to a detection limit of as little as 1.0 parts per billion.

 

Our exploration program to date at Bruner has included:

geologic mapping (producing a plan map of the rock types, structure and alteration),

rock chip geochemical sampling (sample of soil, rock, silt, water or vegetation analyzed to detect the presence of valuable metals or other metals which may accompany them (e.g., Arsenic may indicate the presence of gold),

a ground magnetic survey, and

a Controlled Source Magneto Telluric survey (recording variations in a generated electrical field using sophisticated survey methods).

 

In October 2004, we received the approval of a Notice of Intent for Exploration Drilling, and an environmental bond filed with the Nevada office of the Bureau of Land Management. A total of 18 drill sites have been located to target both extensions of the gold intercepts in previous drilling and in geophysical anomalies found by a CSMT survey. A CSMT survey is an electromagnetic method used to map the variation of the Earth’s resistance to conduct electricity by measuring naturally occurring electric and magnetic fields at the Earth’s surface. With the proper approvals in place, we began drilling on the Bruner property on December 20, 2004. This drilling program was completed in March 2005 at a total cost of approximately $153,811, with a total of 3,200 feet of reverse circulation (RC) drilling in 7 holes. The depths of the holes ranged from 300 to 750 feet. We have received assays for all holes, and the results are encouraging enough that additional drilling is planned for later in 2005 (as described below).

 

31

 

 



 

Because of the favorable drilling results from the drilling program we began on December 20, 2004, we have decided to conduct additional drill testing on the Bruner property, including both reverse circulation and core drilling. In April 2005, we filed an amended drilling plan with the Bureau of Land Management that allows three fences of drill holes with the fences spaced 400 feet apart along the apparent trend of the mineralization. The Initial holes of the second phase program will be RC; but if we continue to get good results, we will then follow with core drilling. The RC rig would drill until reaching mineralized veins and then coring of the veins would occur. We expect this second phase program not to begin until the fall of 2005 and we expect it will be completed in February 2006 at an estimated cost of approximately $400,000. If the second phase drilling program fails to intersect high-grade gold values (0.30 ounces per ton or above) the Bruner property will be dropped via termination of the option agreement.

 

The Bruner mining district is underlain by a sequence of intermediate to felsic Tertiary volcanic rocks (which are quartz-rich rocks derived from volcanoes and deposited between two and sixty-five million years ago), including ash flow tuffs, tuffaceous sediments, and flows. A volcanic center, the origin of major volcanic activity, is thought to underlay the district, with associated silicic domes (a convex landform created by extruding quartz-rich volcanic rocks) and plugs (landform similar to a dome, but smaller). intruding the volcanic section. The exposed stratigraphic section measures over 2,500 feet in thickness. The “Duluth Tuff”, a variably crystal rich ash flow tuff is the host for gold and silver mineralization. Flow banded silicic volcanics, volcanoclastics (coarse, unsorted sedimentary rock formed from volcanic rocks) and andesite underlie the tuff and flow-banded rhyolite overlies the host unit. Two generations of intrusive rocks have been described within the district. Ore in the Bruner district is hosted by vuggy, fractured, quartz-adularia (potassium-rich alternation mineral) -veined and/or stockworked tuff. Mineralization is primarily fault controlled, although some disseminated values do occur.

Vernal Project: The property is located approximately 140 miles east-southeast of Reno, Nevada on the west side of the Shoshone Mountains. Access from Fallon, the closest town of any size, is by 50 miles of paved highway and 30 miles of gravel roads.

 

We hold the property via 12 unpatented mining claims (240 acres). We have an option on the property with MinQuest, Inc., a Nevada Corporation, which terminates if, prior to July 25, 2008, we fail to make any payments when due to MinQuest, Inc. or complete property expenditures as required by the option. The option will have been fully exercised, and we can earn a 100 percent interest in these claims if we make payments to MinQuest of $22,500 and spend $250,000 in exploration over a five year period ending July 25, 2008. On July 25, 2003, we paid MinQuest $2,500 with respect to the Vernal property, and we owe an additional $20,000 which is due in four equal annual installments commencing on July 25, 2004. With MinQuest’s approval, we paid the first installment of $5,000 late on August 27, 2004. We expect to pay the next installment of $5,000 before the July 25, 2005 due date. By July 25, 2004 we were required to spend $20,000 on exploration, and we had already spent $26,500 on exploration of the Vernal property. The $1,500 excess of our required expenditure will be applied towards our exploration commitment due by July 25, 2005. We are obligated to spend another $205,000 over the next four years as follows: $50,000 by each of July 25, 2005, 2006, 2007 and $55,000 by July 25, 2008. As noted below, in March 2005 we initiated the process to secure the proper permits for trenching and geochemical sampling from the U.S. Forest Service. Provided we receive the permits for trenching and geochemical sampling by the fall of 2005, we expect to spend an estimated $75,000 on trenching and additional geochemical sampling, which would begin in the fall of 2005 and end by May 2006. However, for twelve-month period ending May 25, 2005, we have only spent approximately $11,542 on the exploration of the Vernal property, not including the credit of $1,500 from excess exploration expenditures for the period ended July 25, 2004. Because we are waiting the permits for the $75,000 trenching and geochemical sampling program, MinQuest has waived the remaining amount of our exploration obligations for the period ending July 25, 2005. As a result of this waiver, the $75,000 trenching and geochemical sampling program will be applied towards our obligation for exploration expenditures for the Vernal property due by July 25, 2006. A three percent NSR production royalty is retained by MinQuest.

 

If this trenching process proves up samples with significant gold values (0.10 ounces per ton or above) then a five to ten hole reverse circulation drill program totaling 5,000 feet and costing approximately $90,000 would be considered for the second half of 2006. This drilling could be completed by the end of 2006, provided that there are no environmental permitting delays.

 

Historical work includes several short audits constructed on the property between 1907 and 1916. There appears to have been little or no production. There is no drilled resource on our claims.

Our exploration of the Vernal property to date has consisted of geologic mapping and rock chip geochemical sampling. As discussed above, trenching and additional geochemical sampling is now planned for the summer of 2005 after we secure trenching permits from the U.S. Forest Service. Trenching is a cost effective way of examining the structure and nature of mineral ores just beneath the surface. It involves digging long usually shallow trenches in carefully selected areas to expose unweathered rock and allow sampling. We currently have no plans for any drilling of the Vernal property, but if the trenching process proves up samples with significant gold values (0.10 ounces per ton or above) then a five to ten hole reverse circulation drill program totaling 5,000 feet and costing approximately $90,000 would be considered. As discussed above, this drilling could be completed by the end of 2006 pending no environmental permitting delays.

 

The Vernal property is underlain by a thick sequence of Tertiary age rhyolitic volcanic rocks including tuffs, flows and intrusives. A volcanic center is thought to underlie the district, with an intruding rhyolite plug dome (a domal feature formed by the extrusion of viscous quartz-rich volcanic rocks) thought to be closely related to mineralization encountered by the geologists of Amselco, the U.S. subsidiary of a British company, explored the Vernal property back in the 1980’s, and who in 1983 mapped, sampled and drilled the Vernal property. Amelsco have not been involved with the Vernal property over the last 20 years and are not associated with our option on the property or the exploration work we are doing there. A 225 feet wide zone of poorly outcropping quartz stockworks (a multi-directional quartz veinlet) and larger veining trends northeast from the northern margin of the plug. The veining consists of chalcedony containing 1-5% pyrite. Clay alteration of the host volcanics is strong. Northwest trending veins are also present, but very poorly exposed. Both directions carry gold values. Scattered vein float is found over the plug. The most significant gold values in rock chips come from veining in tuffaceous rocks north of the nearly east-west contact of the plug. This area has poor exposure, but sampling of old dumps and pits show an open-ended gold anomaly that measures 630 feet by 450 feet.

MinQuest Property at Moss Mine: The project area is 10 miles east of Bullhead City, Arizona and approximately 70 miles southeast of Las Vegas, Nevada. Access is via gravel roads from Bullhead City.

 

We hold the property in the Moss Mine region via 65 unpatented mining claims and 7 patented claims (1300 total acres). The unpatented claims are held under a lease/purchase agreement with MinQuest, Inc., a Nevada Corporation. On March 4, 2004, we signed the agreement that earned us a 100 percent interest in these claims by paying MinQuest a one time lease fee of $50,000. The fee of $50,000 was paid on July 7, 2004. A three percent NSR production royalty is retained by MinQuest. The patented claims are held collectively by numerous owners within the extended Williams family, and we have the right to purchase these patented claims from these owners under the terms of a letter of intent which is discussed in the subsequent section titled “Letter of Intent for the Williams Property at the Moss Mine Property”.

 

The Moss Mine was the first gold discovery made in the Oatman district. Discovered in 1864, the mine was worked discontinuously through the 1930’s. Production records are very poor, with past writers listing production equal to or greater than $250,000. The mine lay idle until the early 1980’s when a number of mining companies explored the district. These companies included Billiton Minerals, Magma Copper, Golconda Resources and Addwest Minerals.

 

Our exploration of the MinQuest property has consisted of geologic mapping, vein geochemical sampling and drill testing of the identified veins. Drilling is in progress. Total project exploration cost is estimated to be $500,000.

 

Phase 1 drilling has been completed at the MinQuest property. A total of 36 holes were drilled totaling 2,471 meters (8,107 feet). Thirty holes were drilled on the Moss property, and six holes were drilled on one of the adjacent parcels of land.

 

A study of all drilling results at the Moss Mine indicates a tendency for total gold content to increase with intercept depth. Roughly 60% of the deeper holes have better intercepts than shallow holes. An example from the Patriot drilling tests the vein over a vertical extent of 300 feet. In this example the gold content nearly doubles between AR-5 and AR-23.

 

The most significant mining at Moss Mine occurred on narrow veins that trend sub-parallel to the Moss Mine vein and dip steeply northerly. These veins should intersect the Moss Mine vein at depth. The deepest vein intercepts at Moss are less than 400 feet. The Ruth vein should intersect the Moss Mine vein at 800-900 feet below the surface. If the Moss Mine vein is the feeder for the Ruth vein it must contain similar gold values at that level. The Moss Mine vein needs drill testing to a depth of 900 feet to determine its potential to contain high grade gold mineralization.

 

An expanded program of drilling began in April 2005, and is expected to be completed by May 2006. Approximately 12,000 feet of reverse circulation (RC) drilling will be done to test for possible high-grade (0.30 ounces per ton or above) down-dip extensions of the Moss vein. We plan to drill 10 to 15 holes. The depths of these holes will range from 500 to 1,300 feet. The program budget, which includes significant contingency expenditures, is $643,700.

 

37

 

 



 

The first phase of this expanded drilling program will be completed by the fall of 2005. Unless we have poor results from the first phase, we plan to have a second phase of drilling using both RC and core drilling rigs is scheduled for the late fall of 2005. This program would include 15,000 feet of RC drilling, 3,000 feet of core drilling and metallurgical testing. This second phase will cost approximately $750,000 and be completed by May 2006.

 

Encouraging drilling results to date warrant an initial Scoping Study level investigation, which is the determination of the indicated size and grade of the deposit and possible methods of mining and recovering the gold and silver. Tonnage and grade will be determined by outlining the mineralization on sections constructed every 100 feet across the deposit and using the average grade of the drilling intersections. An open pit is then designed that would allow extraction of the deposit. The option of underground mining is also considered. Tests are conducted to determine the best method of extracting the gold and silver. These tests would include the amenability of “heap leaching”. Heap leaching is the piling of ore on an impermeable liner, circulating gold/silver-dissolving solutions (normally cyanide) through the pile or “heap” and recovering the gold/silver from the circulating solution using carbon.  Another method that would be tested is “milling” to recover the gold and silver. Milling involves crushing and grinding the ore into tiny particles that allow the gold/silver to be removed by simple gravity or by using chemicals in solution. Determination of the best methods of mining and recovery of the precious metals then allows production costs to be calculated. With this “scoping study” done we can then make an initial determination of whether the project is economically feasible. Planned to run concurrently with the expanded drilling program described above, this study will cost about $50,000 and is expected to be completed by December 31, 2005.

 

The project area is underlain by Tertiary quartz monzonite (a coarsely crystalline rock composed primarily of the minerals quartz, plagioclase and orthoclase) intruding tertiary volcanics. Precambrian basement rocks underlie the volcanics. The veins consist of quartz-calcite and lesser adularia. The principal vein is up to 45 feet thick and can be followed on surface for over 5,000 feet. The hanging wall of the veins commonly have several tens of feet of stockwork veining. Gold values are somewhat erratic, but appear to be highest in the thicker and deeper parts of the vein explored to date.

Minquest Agreement

An agreement with Minquest, Inc. gives us the right to purchase 100% of the mining interests of two Nevada mineral exploration properties currently controlled by MinQuest, a natural resource exploration company. Together, these two properties consist of 28 mining claims on a total of 560 acres in the northwest trending Walker Lane located in western Nevada. We also entered into a letter of intent in November 2003 to purchase a 100% interest in a mining property located in the historic Oatman gold mining district. The property is located some 5 miles northwest to the town of Oatman, with Kingsman, Arizona to the east, Laughlin, Nevada to the west and Las Vegas, Nevada to the north.

Simultaneous with the execution and delivery of the Property Option Agreement, we paid MinQuest $12,500. In order to earn a 100% interest in these two properties, we must pay MinQuest, Inc. and incur expenditures relating to mining operations in accordance with the following schedule: (i) on or before July 25, 2004, $20,000 to MinQuest and $75,000 in expenditures; (ii) on or before July 25, 2005, $20,000 to MinQuest and an additional $100,000 in expenditures; (iii) on or before July 25, 2006, $20,000 to MinQuest and an additional $100,000 in expenditures; (iv) on or before July 25, 2007, $20,000 to MinQuest and an additional $100,000 in expenditures; and (v) on or before July 25, 2008, an additional $125,000 in expenditures. If we have not incurred the requisite expenditures to maintain our option in good standing, we have a 60-day period subsequent to July 25th to make such payment along with such amount which shall be deemed to have been an expenditure incurred by us during such period. Since our payment obligations are non-refundable, if we do not make any payments, we will lose any payments made and all our rights to the properties. If all said payments are made, then we will acquire all mining interests in the property, subject to MinQuest retaining a 3% royalty of the aggregate proceeds received by us from any smelter or other purchaser of any ores, concentrates, metals or other material of commercial value produced from the property, minus the cost of transportation of the ores, concentrates or metals, including related insurance, and smelting and refining charges, including penalties.

Pursuant to the Property Option Agreement, we have a one-time option to purchase up to 2% of MinQuest’s royalty interest at a rate of $1,000,000 for each 1%. We must exercise our option 90 days following completion of a bankable feasibility study of the Bruner and Vernal properties, which, as it relates to a mineral resource or reserve, is an evaluation of the economics for the extraction (mining), processing and marketing of a defined ore reserve that would justify financing from a banking or financing institution for putting the mine into production.

With the expertise provided by our Board of Directors and consulting geology professionals, all of whom have been compensated by way of the company stock option plan, we now have the expertise required to decide if we should invest in a particular project. This decision will be based on information that will be provided by the vendor or the project and by information collected by our experts through independent due diligence, and include at least the following:

 

A description of the project and the location of the property;

 

 

The lands that will be subject to the exploration project;

 

 

The royalties, net profit interest or other charges applicable to the subject lands;

The estimated cost of any geophysical work contemplated; and

 

The estimated acquisition costs, exploration costs and development costs of the property.

 

In July 2003, members of our Board of Directors and geology team made an onsite inspection of both properties optioned by the company from MinQuest. From this visit, an exploration plan was determined and a schedule to begin work on the properties was organized to commence in the month of September 2003. On September 19, 2003 the company announced that an exploration program consisting of geologic mapping and surface geochemical sampling was underway on the Bruner property and that a Global Positioning System geophysical survey (electrical, magnetic and other means used to detect features, which may be associated with mineral deposits) conducted on the ground was scheduled for later that month. Such a survey measures the magnetic variations within the underlying rocks. Since then, a ground magnetics survey and detailed mapping and rock sampling of the western portion of the claim block on the Bruner property has been completed. The rock sampling is a collection of a series of small chips over a measured distance, which is then submitted for a chemical analysis, usually to determine the metallic content over the sampled interval. The magnetics indicate the presence of northwesterly and northerly trending faults under the pediment cover that may host gold mineralization. A fault, which is a break in the rock along which the movement has taken place, are often the sites for the deposition of metallic rich fluids. A pediment cover is a broad, gently sloping surface at the base of a steeper slope. Geologic mapping of rocks exposed in the western portion of the Patriot held claims show several small quartz bearing structures trending northwest and dipping steeply to the northeast. These small structures are thought to be related to a much larger vein, often filled with quartz, contained within a fault or break in the rock (a fault-hosted vein system) under gravel cover in the broad valley south of the mapping. Approximately 1 square mile of ground magnetics was completed at Bruner. The survey was done on 50 meter spaced lines, run north-south using a GPS controlled Geometrics magnetometer, which is the geophysical instrument used in collecting magnetic data with an attached GPS that allows the operator to more precisely determine the location of each station where the magnetic signature is taken. . The interpretation shows numerous northwest and north-south trending magnetic lows associated with faults. Magnetic lows are an occurrence that may be indicative of a destruction of magnetic minerals by later hydrothermal (hot water) fluids that have come up along these faults. These hydrothermal fluids may in turn have carried and deposited precious metals such as gold and/or silver. To the southeast, under gravel cover (where there is no exposure of rock at the surface), is a much more continuous northwest trending feature that has not been drill tested, and data is sufficiently encouraging that an expanded CSMT survey is recommended to trace these structures in the third dimension. Three or four north-south lines of CSMT are scheduled and further work is ongoing.

At the Vernal property, mapping (the process of laying out a grid on the land for area identification where samples are taken) and sampling (the process of taking small quantities of soil and rock for analysis) has been initiated. Mapping is the process where. Poorly exposed narrow masses of rock intersecting other rocks and filling inclined or vertical fractures with quartz minerals (quartz veining) in volcanic rock that has been sampled and submitted to a chemical laboratory for analysis. Additional mapping and sampling is ongoing.

 

Letter of Intent for the Williams Property at the Moss Mine

 

In November 2003 we executed a letter of intent to purchase a 100% interest in Moss Mine property owned by an extended family and which is located in the historic Oatman gold mining district. This property is unrelated to and separate from the MinQuest property. Work already completed on this property includes a pre-feasibility study as well as 36,000 feet of primarily reverse circulation drilling which was done over twenty years ago. Reverse circulation drilling is a less expensive form of drilling that does not allow for the recovery of a tube or core of rock, in which the material is brought up from depth as a series of small chips of rock that are then bagged and sent in for analysis. Though this is a quicker and cheaper method of drilling, reverse circulation drilling does not necessarily give as much information about the underlying rocks.

 

The property is comprised of six patented claims, which as a group, we call the Williams property. These claims are held collectively by as many as 23 owners within an extended family who are represented by Barbara Williams, a realtor, and a member of this extended family, who put together the letter of intent and arranged for the signing of the agreement by the numerous owners. None of these owners, including Barbara Williams, has or has had any relationship or affiliation with us prior to the agreement for the Williams property.

 

The letter of intent grants us an exclusive right to close on the purchase of the Williams property for six months from the date the contract is executed.

 

On February 19, 2004, we executed a formal agreement to purchase the Williams property for $350,000. On February 27, 2004 we deposited $25,000 with the title company, which was acting as escrow agent, and three months after signing, on June 14, 2004, we deposited an additional $25,000. When the title company, acting as escrow agent, received the signature pages from the various sellers, the initial $25,000 deposit was to be delivered to the sellers. On the three-month anniversary from when we signed the definitive agreement, the second $25,000 was to be delivered to the sellers. By mid-July, 2004, the escrow agent had received 19 of the 23 signatures, which under Arizona law was enough to complete the transaction, and on July 24, 2004, the first and second deposits of $25,000 each were released to the sellers. On or before the 6-month anniversary from when we signed the definitive agreement, the balance of $300,000 was due to the sellers. As a result of our due diligence, we decided to complete the purchase of the Williams property. On August 27, 2004 we paid the final $300,000 to the escrow agent for the closing of the sale. On November 11, 2004, the escrow agent released the $300,000 to the sellers for the closing of the sale, and, as a result, we now own 100% interest in the Williams property.

 

42

 

 



 

Seller has delivered to us all information in their possession regarding the Williams property. During the six month period after the signing of the definitive agreement we had the right to conduct our due diligence on the Williams property and if we decided not to proceed we had to give the sellers and escrow agent notice no less than 10 days prior to the six-month anniversary of our intention not to close. During this period we could not perform mining or remove any ore from the property. We were responsible for all costs and expenses associates with the purchase of the Williams property, including escrow fees, cost of feasibility study, charges resulting from any tests, environmental assessments reports or surveys, and any exploration activity costs. Once we had concluded our analysis and had determined that it is feasible to close on the purchase of the Williams property, doing so would give us full rights to begin mining operations.

 

Due Diligence Performed on the Williams Property

 

In October 2003, our director Robert Sibthorpe (who is a geologist by training) evaluated a proposal for the purchase of the Williams property. His recommendation was to visit the site, and if the visual inspection supported the information presented in the proposal, then an offer to purchase should be drawn up. At the recommendation of Mr. Sibthorpe, on January, 2004, Mr. Robert Coale (P.Eng.), another one of our directors visited the site to see the overall geological setting and occurrence of mineralization and evaluate the drilling program proposed by MinQuest, the company that we would contract to co-ordinate any work programs undertaken. At this time, the recent metallurgical data and reports that had been collected from the sellers were reviewed for study. Mr. Coale’s analysis revealed that reagent (liquid chemicals used for leaching) consumptions are acceptable and deleterious compounds (things present in the ore that would be difficult to work with) are not apparent. He recommended bulk sampling at a selected location in the future once the definition of the ore body is further advanced through drilling. On January 31, 2004 Robert Sibthorpe wrote a report with a summery of the property, and reviewing the Draft Budget supplied by Richard Kern, our work program contractor, that was laid out for the drilling program planned for the property. The drilling was conducted throughout the spring and early summer of 2004, and in June, 2004, Mr. Sibthorpe wrote a report incorporating the results of the drilling program which encouraged us to pursue the project. Also in June, 2004, Mr. Kern sent a Memo to the Company regarding the potential at the Williams property. Mr. Kern’s recommendation was that we should proceed with the purchase of the Williams property.

 

Based on the information gathered in this due diligence process, and on the recommendation of our board members and consultants, the decision to proceed with the purchase of the Williams property was made. On August 27, 2004, the final payment of $300,000 was paid to the escrow agent for the closing of the sale. On November 11, 2004, the escrow agent released the $300,000 to the sellers for the closing of the sale, and, as a result, we now own 100% interest in the Williams property.

 

We currently have no exploration programs planned for the Williams property and we do not expect to conduct any exploration programs on this property prior to May 31, 2006.

Financing

 

In July 2003 we completed a private placement of shares and warrants which generated an aggregate of $367,500 in proceeds, and the private placement we closed in November 2003 generated $1,080,000 in gross proceeds. In addition, $2,060,850 and $1,597,500 during the year ended May 31, 2004 and during the nine months ended February 28, 2005, respectively, was obtained from the exercise of stock options issued under the company’s stock option plan. With the funds currently held by the company, we are adequately funded for all work programs and option commitments for the next 12 months. Whether or not we will need to raise further funding will be dependent on the outcome of work programs currently underway, and whether we pursue additional prospects.

 

Competition

 

The natural resource industry is highly competitive in all its phases. Properties in which we have an interest will encounter strong competition from many other natural resource companies, including many that possess substantial financial resources, in acquiring economically desirable producing properties and exploratory drilling prospects, and in obtaining equipment and labor to operate and maintain their properties.

 

We feel that our competitive position compared to other resource exploration companies is quite good. Many junior resource companies generally have very little available capital for securing properties of merit, and also lack the necessary capital required to start or carry on a work program that would be needed to advance the property. These work programs can cost many hundreds of thousands of dollars, and can sometimes even run into the millions. On a relative basis, having raised approximately $5.1 million dollars through private placements and the exercise of options, we are now funded to implement work programs on the properties that we have secured. With our qualified and experienced board of directors and group of consultants, who between them have over 90 years of direct experience working in the geology, mining, and related financial sectors, we have an outstanding management team. Many junior resource companies feel themselves lucky to have only one such expert on their board, let alone three, and with the addition of our consulting geologist, we have four veteran resource experts who have experience working at and in many cases leading exploration projects and mining development projects in many locations all around the globe. We feel this positions us favorably in front of most other junior resource exploration and mining companies.

 

Government Regulation

 

The federal government and various state and local governments have adopted laws and regulations regarding the protection of natural resources, human health and the environment. We will be required to conduct all exploration activities in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations. These may include requiring working permits for any exploration work that results in physical disturbances to the land and locating claims, posting claims and reporting work performed on the mineral claims. The laws and regulations may tell us how and where we can explore for natural resources, as well as environmental matters relating to exploration and development. Because these laws and regulations change frequently, the costs of compliance with existing and future environmental regulations cannot be predicted with certainty.

 

 

44

 

 



Any exploration or production on United States Federal land will have to comply with the Federal Land Management Planning Act which has the effect generally of protecting the environment. Any exploration or production on private property, whether owned or leased, will have to comply with the Endangered Species Act and the Clean Water Act. The cost of complying with environmental concerns under any of these acts varies on a case-by-case basis. In many instances the cost can be prohibitive to development. Environmental costs associated with a particular project must be factored into the overall cost evaluation of whether to proceed with the project.

 

There are no costs to us at the present time in connection with compliance with environmental laws. However, since we do anticipate engaging in natural resource projects, these costs could occur at any time. Costs could extend into the millions of dollars for which we could be liable. In the event of liability, we would be entitled to contribution from other owners so that our percentage share of a particular project would be the percentage share of our liability on that project. However, other owners may not be willing or able to share in the cost of the liability. Even if liability is limited to our percentage share, any significant liability would wipe out our assets and resources.

 

Permits for drilling at the MinQuest property have been obtained from the Arizona Department of Water Resources, Phoenix, Arizona. The “Intention to Drill Wells” permits were issued February 5, 2004.

 

In October 2004, we received the approval of a Notice of Intent for Exploration Drilling, and an environmental bond filed with the Nevada office of the Bureau of Land Management. With the proper approvals in place, we began drilling on the Bruner property on December 20, 2004. This drilling program was completed in March 2005. In this drilling program, we drilled seven holes with depths ranging from 300 to 750 feet. Because this drilling program had encouraging results, we filed, in April 2005, an amended drilling plan with the Bureau of Land Management that allows three fences of drill holes with the fences spaced 400 feet apart along the apparent trend of the mineralization. The initial holes of the second phase program will be RC; but if we continue to get good results, we will then follow with core drilling.

 

In connection with the trenching and additional geochemical sampling now planned for the Vernal property, we initiated the process to secure the proper permits for trenching and geochemical sampling from the U.S. Forest Servicein the Spring 2005. However, due to the slow process of permitting exploration on U. S. Forest Service lands, we expect to receive approval for the permits by the fall of 2005.

 

Employees

 

We have commenced only limited operations. Therefore, we have no full time employees. Our sole officer and three directors provide planning and organizational services for us on a part-time basis.

Future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, future press releases and future oral or written statements made by us or with our approval, which are not statements of historical fact, may contain forward-looking statements, because such statements include risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

 

All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made. We undertake no obligation to update such statements to reflect events that occur or circumstances that exist after the date on which they are made.

 

Overview

 

As a natural resource exploration company our focus is to locate prospective properties that may host mineral reserves that could eventually be put into mining production. With this in mind, we have to this date identified and secured several properties in the Walker Lane area of Nevada, and are working to acquire a property in the historic Oatman mining district of Arizona. With adequate funding to meet all our obligations on our current projects and a highly qualified and well-motivated management team, we are well positioned to carry out the operations of a natural resource exploration company.

 

We do not intend to use any employees, with the exception of part-time clerical assistance on an as-needed basis. Outside advisors, attorneys or consultants will only be used if they can be obtained for a minimal cost or for a deferred payment basis. Management is confident that it will be able to operate in this manner and continue during the next twelve months.

 

Plan of Operation

 

During the twelve-month period ending May 31, 2006, our objective is to continue to explore our properties. The funds in our treasury are sufficient to meet all planned activities as outlined below, with a significant contingency margin. As a result of this, we do not expect to enter into any new financing arrangements during the next twelve months (ending May 31, 2006).

 

46

 

 



 

We continue to run our operations with the use of contract operators, and as such do not anticipate a change to our company staffing levels. We remain focused on keeping the staff compliment, which currently consists of our three directors and one investor relations person, at a minimum to conserve capital. Our staffing in no way hinders our operations, as outsourcing of necessary operations continues to be the most cost effective and efficient manner of conducting the business of the company.

 

We do not anticipate any equipment purchases in the next twelve months (ending May 31, 2006)

 

Following is an overview of the project work to date, as well as anticipated work for the next twelve months. Specific dates when work will begin, and how long it will take to complete each step is problematic because of the variables of weather, availability of work crews for a particular type of work, and the results of work that is planned, the outcome of which will determine what the next step on that project will be.

 

Bruner and Vernal Projects.

 

We have fulfilled our exploration commitments with respect to both Bruner and Vernal projects of $75,000 for the period ending July 25, 2004, during which we spent $90,500 of which $64,000 and $26,500 was spent on the exploration of the Bruner and Vernal properties, respectively. The excess expenditures will be credited towards our commitment for period ending July 25, 2005, as allowed for in the agreement with MinQuest. Surveys (geology and geophysics) have been done showing likely areas for drilling. We fulfilled our exploration commitment of $50,000 with respect to the Bruner property for the twelve month period ending July 25, 2005, and MinQuest has waived the remaining amount of our $50,000 exploration obligation for the Vernal property that is due by July 25, 2005. From July 24, 2004 through May 15, 2005, we have spent $166,353 on the exploration of the Bruner and Vernal properties, of which $154,811 was spent on the exploration of the Bruner property and $11,542 was spent on the exploration of the Vernal property (which does not include the $15,500 credit from the period ended July 25, 2004). The $104,811 spent in excess of our $50,000 exploration obligations for Bruner property for the period ending July 25, 2005 will, under our agreement with MinQuest, be credited towards our exploration commitments of $50,000 for the twelve month period ending July 25, 2006. Because we are waiting the permits for a $75,000 trenching and geochemical sampling program, MinQuest has waived the remaining amount of our obligations for exploration expenditures on the Vernal property for the period ending July 25, 2005. We expect to be able to begin this exploration program for the Vernal property by the fall of 2005. The amount spent on this exploration of the Vernal property will be applied towards our exploration commitments for that property for the period ending July 25, 2006.

A total of 18 drill sites on the Bruner property have been located to target both extensions of the gold intercepts in previous drilling and geophysical anomalies found by a CSMT survey. In October 2004, we received the approval of a Notice of Intent for Exploration Drilling, and an environmental bond filed with the Nevada office of the Bureau of Land Management. With these permits in place, we began drilling on the Bruner property on December 20, 2004. This drilling program was completed in March 2005. We drilled a total of seven holes with depths ranging form 300 to 750 feet. This drilling program tested possible extensions of gold mineralization intersected in historic drilling as well as the large CSMT geophysical anomaly located under gravel cover. The total cost of this program for the Bruner property was approximately $154,811. Because the favorable results we obtained from the drilling program we began on December 20, 2004, we plan to conduct additional drill testing on the Bruner property, including both reverse circulation and core drilling. In April 2005, we filed an amended drilling plan with the Bureau of Land Management that allows three fences of drill holes with the fences spaced 400 feet apart along the apparent trend of the mineralization. The initial holes of the new program will be RC, but with continuing good results core drilling will follow. The RC rig would drill until reaching mineralized veins and then coring of the veins would occur. We expect this second phase program not to begin until the fall of 2005 and we expect it will be completed in February 2006 at an estimated cost of approximately $400,000. If the second phase drilling program fails to intersect high-grade gold values (0.30 ounces per ton or above) the Bruner property will be dropped via termination of the option agreement. Trenching and additional geochemical sampling of the Vernal property is now planned for the fall of 2005. As noted above, scheduling of the Vernal property exploration program will be dictated by the length of time it takes to get proper permits for trenching and geochemical sampling from the U.S. Forest Service land. In March 2005, we initiated the permitting of trenching on the Vernal property with the U.S. Forest Service. However, due to the slow process of permitting exploration on U. S. Forest Service lands, we expect to receive approval for trenching by the fall of 2005. This trenching and geochemical sampling is expected to be completed by May 2006. . If this trenching process proves up samples with significant gold values (0.10 ounces per ton or above) then a five to ten hole reverse circulation drill program totaling 5,000 feet and costing approximately $90,000 would be considered for the second half of 2006. This drilling could be completed by the end of 2006, provided that there are no environmental permitting delays.

 

MinQuest Property at Moss Mine.

 

We have done considerable drilling on the MinQuest property claims.

 

The easternmost section of the MinQuest property, which was mostly untested by drilling was drilled with thirty reverse circulation holes. This allowed accurate cross-sections to be made for this area. The coverage on this section is generally 2 or 3 holes on 100 foot sections testing grades and widths from 50-250 feet down dip.

 

In the western area, limited confirmation drilling was carried out in the and the results obtained were generally in line with the values obtained by previous operators. Geological information obtained may now provide a structural explanation for the lack of success obtained here to date by previous operators.

 

48

 

 



 

A study of all drilling results at the Moss Mine indicates a tendency for total gold content to increase with intercept depth. Roughly 60% of the deeper holes have better intercepts than shallow holes. An example from the Patriot drilling tests the vein over a vertical extent of 300 feet. In this example the gold content nearly doubles between AR-5 and AR-23.

 

The most significant mining at Moss Mine occurred on narrow veins that trend sub-parallel to the Moss Mine vein and dip steeply northerly. These veins should intersect the Moss Mine vein at depth. The deepest vein intercepts at Moss are less than 400 feet. The Ruth vein should intersect the Moss Mine vein at 800-900 feet below the surface. If the Moss Mine vein is the feeder for the Ruth vein it must contain similar gold values at that level. The Moss Mine vein needs drill testing to a depth of 900 feet to determine its potential to contain high grade gold mineralization.

 

An expanded program of drilling began in April 2005, and is expected to be completed by May 2006. Approximately 12,000 feet of reverse circulation (RC) drilling will be done to test for possible high-grade (0.30 ounces per ton or above) down-dip extensions of the Moss vein. We plan to drill 10 to 15 holes. The depths of these holes will range from 500 to 1,300 feet. The program budget, which includes significant contingency expenditures, is $643,700.

 

The first phase of this expanded drilling program will be completed by the fall of 2005. Unless we have poor results from the first phase, we plan to have a second phase of drilling using both RC and core drilling rigs is scheduled for the late all of 2005. This program would include 15,000 feet of RC drilling, 3,000 feet of core drilling and metallurgical testing. This second phase will cost approximately $750,000 and be completed by May 2006.

 

Encouraging drilling results to date warrant an initial Scoping Study level investigation. Planned to run concurrently with the above drilling, this study will cost about $50,000, and is expected to be completed before December 31, 2005. For additional details about the Scoping Study level investigation, please see page 38 of this prospectus.

 

Results of Operations– The Three and Nine Months Ended February 28, 2005 compared to the Three and Nine Months Ended February 29, 2004

 

For the three and nine months ended February 28, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended May 31, 2005.

 

The Company had no sales and sales revenues from continuing operations for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2005 and no sales for the three months ended February 29, 2004 from continuing operations.

 

The Company had no selling and marketing expenses from continuing operations for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2005 and the three and nine months ended February 29, 2004. Mining Costs were $347,835 and $870,674, respectively for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2005 and $119,697 and $162,454, respectively for the three and nine months ended February 29, 2004. These expenses include money paid for acquiring mineral rights and exploration costs related to these rights. General and administrative expenses were $22,168 and $98,919, respectively for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2005 and $18,583,244 and $20,636,524, respectively for the three and nine months ended February 29, 2004. The decrease in general and administrative expenses from 2004 to 2005 is largely attributable to consulting fees as a result of the issuance of stock options to various consultants

that were issued at a discounted price. The Company felt this was necessary in order to attract the best consultants in the field of geology, ground operations, corporate development and financial management to work for the Company, without having to compensate them by way of cash paid directly from the funds that have been raised for project operations. Compensation expense was determined using the Black-Scholes method. We expect such expenses to continue in the future.

 

The Company recorded a net loss from continuing operations of $348,277 and $945,448, respectively for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2005 compared to a net loss of $18,702,941 and $20,798,978, respectively, for the same period in 2004. The decrease in the net loss is largely attributable to the Company not issuing stock options to consultants at a discounted price.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our balance sheet as of February 28, 2005 reflects assets of $3,746,408 consisting of $3,743,943 in cash and $2,465 in other current assets. Total liabilities on the balance sheet as of February 28, 2005 reflect current liabilities of $65,667, consisting of accounts payable. As of March 28, 2005, we had cash on hand of approximately $3,729,971.

 

Cash and cash equivalents from inception to date have been insufficient to provide the operating capital necessary to operate. In November 2003, we issued 864,000 shares of common stock and 864,000 Class A warrants, 864,000 Class B warrants, 864,000 Class C warrants and 864,000 Class D warrants. This private offering generated gross proceeds of $1,080,000. The Class A warrants are exercisable on November 27, 2004 for a period of five years at an exercise price of $1.40 per share of common stock; the Class B warrants are exercisable on November 27, 2005 for a period of four years at an exercise price of $1.45; the Class C warrants are exercisable on November 27, 2006 an at exercise price of $1.50; and the Class D warrants are exercisable on November 27, 2007 at an exercise price of $1.55.

 

Going Concern Consideration

 

As indicated in the accompanying balance sheet, as of February 28, 2005 we had $3,743,943 in cash available and accounts payable and accrued expenses of $65,667. The cash was as a result of the private placement in which the Company received $1,447,500 and from the exercise of stock options from which the Company received $3,658,350. As of March 28, 2005, we had cash on hand of approximately $3,729,971. Management believes that the gross proceeds from the private placements and from the exercise of stock options will be sufficient to continue our planned activities until May 31, 2006, the end of our current fiscal year. However, we anticipate generating losses and therefore we may be unable to continue operations after May 31, 2006 as a going concern. In addition, if we want to maintain our interest in the MinQuest property, on or before each of July 25, 2005 and July 25, 2006 we are required to incur no less than $100,000 in expenditures in connection with mining operations as well as paying MinQuest $20,000. Our cash on hand of $3.4 million (as of May 24, 2005) is more than sufficient to cover our projected budget of $2.1 million for the twelve-month period ending May 31, 2006. This 2006 budget consists of (i) $40,000 in property payments to MinQuest (due July 25, 2005 and July 25, 2006);

 

50

 

 



approximately $1.918 million for current and planned exploration programs on the Bruner, Vernal and Moss Mine properties and approximately $142,000 in general and administrative expenses. Although we anticipate generating losses for the current and next fiscal year (ending May 31, 2005 and 2006, respectively), we do not expect to require additional capital unless we greatly expand our current planned exploration programs or we decide to purchase additional properties. Though we currently have no plans to purchase new properties or expand our current or planned exploration programs, if we needed to raise additional capital our plans would include raising additional capital or entering into a strategic arrangement with a third party. There can be no assurance that our plans can be realized. No adjustment has been made in the accompanying financial statements to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that could result should be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

We currently have no agreements, arrangements or understandings with any person to obtain funds through bank loans, lines of credit or any other sources.

 

Accordingly, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph in their report on the accompanying financial statements regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that lead to this disclosure by our independent auditors.

 

Off-balance sheet arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Results of Operations– The Twelve Months Ended May 31, 2004 compared to the Twelve Months Ended May 31, 2003

 

During the two fiscal years ended May 31, 2004 and 2003, we incurred a net loss of $21,625,478 and $11,215, respectively. Until the execution of the Property Option Agreement with MinQuest, we had no operations, so our net loss for the two years ended May 31, 2004 and 2003 were a result of professional services and administrative expenses.

 

Revenues

 

We had no revenues for the year ended May 31, 2004. We did not generate any revenues for year ended May 31, 2003.

 

Cost of Revenues

 

There was no cost of revenue for the two years ending May 31, 2004 and 2003.

 

General and administrative expenses

 

For the two fiscal years ended May 31, 2004 and 2003, general and administrative expenses were $21,274,930 and $11,215. The increase in G&A expenses from 2003 to 2004 is largely attributable to $4,892,376 in consulting fees as a result of the issuance of stock options and $16,254,000 in consulting income attributed to the transfer of 9,000,000 shares of our common stock from Bruce Johnstone to our current directors. We expect such expenses to continue in future periods. We expect such expenses to continue in future periods. As of June 30, 2005, the Company has received approximately $3.66 million for the exercise of stock options granted to consultants.

 

51

 

 



 

The value indicated above with regard to the consulting fees was arrived at because of the stock options being issued at a discounted price to what the then current market price of the stock was. This was necessary in order to attract the best consultants in the field of geology, ground operations, corporate development, and financial management to work for the company, without having to compensate them by way of cash paid directly from the funds that we had raised for project operations. Many of these consultants have already exercised these options, and the result is a realization of addition funds collected by the company.

 

Liquidity and capital resources

 

Our balance sheet as of May 31, 2004 reflects assets of $3,051,335 consisting of $3,049,991 in cash and $1,344 in receivables. Total liabilities on the balance sheet as of May 31, 2004 reflect current liabilities of $22,646, consisting of accounts payable.

 

Cash and cash equivalents from inception to date have been insufficient to provide the operating capital necessary to operate. In November 2003 we issued 864,000 shares of common stock and 864,000 Class A warrants, 864,000 Class B warrants, 864,000 Class C warrants and 864,000 Class D warrants. This private offering generated gross proceeds of $1,080,000.00. The Class A-1 warrants are exercisable on November 27, 2004 for a period of five years at an exercise price of $1.40 per share of common stock; the Class B-1 warrants are exercisable on November 27, 2005 for a period of four years at an exercise price of $1.45; the Class C-1 warrants are exercisable on November 27, 2006 for a period of three years an at exercise price of $1.50; and the Class D-1 warrants are exercisable on November 27, 2007 for a period of two years at an exercise price of $1.55. The Company has the right, in its sole discretion, to accelerate the exercise date of the warrants, to decrease the exercise price of the warrants and/or extend the expiration date of the warrants.

 

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2004, $2,060,850 was obtained from the exercise of stock options issued under our stock option plan.

 

Going Concern Consideration

 

As indicated in the accompanying balance sheet, as of May 31, 2004 we had $3,049,991 cash available and accounts payable of $22,646. The cash was a result of private placements from which the Company raised $1,447,500 and from the exercise of stock options from which the Company received $2,060,850. Management believes that the gross proceeds from the private placements and from the exercise of stock options will be sufficient to continue our planned activities until May 31, 2005, the end of our next fiscal year. However, we anticipate generating losses and therefore we may be unable to continue operations in the future as a going concern. In addition, if we want to maintain our interest in the MinQuest property, on or before July 25, 2005 we are required to incur no less than $100,000 in expenditures in connection with mining operations as well as paying MinQuest $20,000. Our plans to deal with this uncertainty include raising additional capital or entering into a strategic arrangement with a third party. There can be no assurance that our plans can be realized. No adjustment has been made in the accompanying financial statements to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that could result should be unable to continue as a going concern.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

 

We have not been a party to any transaction, proposed transaction or series of transactions in which the amount involved exceeded $60,000, and in which, to our knowledge, any of our directors, officers, five percent beneficial security holders or any member of the immediate family of the foregoing persons has had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

 

Our directors are party to a Shareholders’ Agreement pursuant to which they agreed to vote the 3,000,000 shares they each received from Bruce Johnstone for each other. They also agreed not to sell or otherwise dispose of such shares.

 

There are no promoters associated or involved with the company. We have a single individual, Mr. Brian Uppal, who acts as our investor relations person to answer questions received from phone callers. Mr. Uppal has been compensated by a grant of 250,000 stock options under our stock option plan. These options were granted on October 14, 2003, with an exercise price of $1.50, and because the option price was above fair market value of $1.47, we did not record any compensation expense. We have also hired Shareholder.com, a fulfillment service provider, to handle the logistics of mailing out an informational pamphlet prepared by us to those investors who have requested more information about us through our Web site. Under our agreement with Shareholder.com, Shareholder.com performs mail order fulfillment service to persons who request an investor package through our Web site. The investor enters the required information on our Website. The information is then transmitted to Shareholder.com, which then mails the investor package to the person requesting it. The investor and Shareholder.com do not communicate with each other and Shareholder.com adds no materials of their own to the mailings to our investors. Shareholder.com acts only as a collation and mailing service provider to us so that we do not have to spend time doing this work.

 

Under the Shareholder.com agreement, which has a month-to-month term, we are responsible for the preparation and contents of the investor package. The pamphlet we provided to Shareholder.com consisted of basic information about us, the members of our management team and our business, and the information is taken from our Web site.

 

Under the Shareholder.com agreement, Shareholder.com acted solely as a transmitter of information to investors that we provided to them for which we paid

an initial start up fee of $495,

 

a monthly fee of $195 for the mail order fulfillment service,

a processing fee of $0.95 per request

 

and the cost of postage and handling of investor packages mailed by Shareholder.com.

2003 Stock Option Plan

 

5,240,000

(1)

 

$0.72

 

306,000

 

 

(1)        Since the plan provides for appropriate adjustments in the event of stock splits and other similar events, when our common stock was forward split on June 17, 2003, a corresponding adjustment was made to the option plan. Accordingly, as of June 17, 2003 there were 2,546,000 shares available for issuance under the Stock Option Plan. On September 22, 2003, we amended our Stock Option Plan by increasing the number of shares available for issuance under the plan to 5,546,000 shares

 

As of May 31, 2005, there were a total of 5,240,000 options granted under the plan with exercise prices ranging from $0.05 per share to $1.50 per share.

 

The following discussion describes material terms of grants made pursuant to the stock option plans:

 

Pursuant to the 2003 Stock Option Plan, grants of shares can be made to employees, officers, directors, consultants and independent contractors of non-qualified stock options as well as for the grant of stock options to employees that qualify as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (“Code”) or as non-qualified stock options. The Plan is administered by the Option Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”), which has, subject to specified limitations, the full authority to grant options and establish the terms and conditions for vesting and exercise thereof. Currently the entire Board functions as the Committee.

 

56

 

 



 

In order to exercise an option granted under the Plan, the optionee must pay the full exercise price of the shares being purchased. Payment may be made either: (i) in cash; or (ii) at the discretion of the Committee, by delivering shares of common stock already owned by the optionee that have a fair market value equal to the applicable exercise price; or (iii) with the approval of the Committee, with monies borrowed from us.

 

Subject to the foregoing, the Committee has broad discretion to describe the terms and conditions applicable to options granted under the Plan. The Committee may at any time discontinue granting options under the Plan or otherwise suspend, amend or terminate the Plan and may, with the consent of an optionee, make such modification of the terms and conditions of such optionee’s option as the Committee shall deem advisable.

 

 

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

 

We have not paid, nor do we owe, any compensation to our executive officer for the years ended May 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005. We have not paid any compensation to our officers for the last three fiscal years.

 

We have no employment agreements with any of our executive officers or employees.

 

On June 12, 2003, we issued 13,500,000 Series A 7% Redeemable Preferred Shares to Mr. Bruce Johnstone, who was our sole officer and a director from October 2002 until July 2003. Mr. Johnstone is an accredited investor (as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D) and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that he is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of this investment. Mr. Johnstone subsequently exchanged all his preferred shares for 13,500,000 shares of common stock. Of said shares, he transferred 3,000,000 to each of our current directors.

 

Bruce Johnstone, our sole officer as of the end of our fiscal year end May 31, 2003, was not granted any options or SARs. Except as provided below, none of our executive officers was granted any options or SARs during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2005.

The following table sets forth information with respect to compensation we paid up to and including the fiscal year ended May 31, 2005 to our executive officers and directors.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

 

Patriot Gold Corp.

(An Exploration State Company)

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Patriot Gold Corp.(An Exploration State Company) as of May 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related statements of operations and cash flows for the two years ended May 31, 2004 and 2003 and the cumulative period June 1, 2000 (inception of exploration state) to May 31, 2004, and the statements of stockholders’ equity since November 30, 1998 (inception) to May 31, 2004. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Patriot Gold Corp.(An Exploration State Company) as of May 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended May 31, 2004 and 2003 and the cumulative period June 1, 2000 (inception of exploration state) to May 31, 2004, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        This summary of accounting policies for Patriot Gold Corp. ( An Exploration State Company) is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

Nature of Operations and Going Concern

        The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a “going concern”, which assume that the Company will continue in operation for at least one year and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations.

        Several conditions and events cast doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a “going concern”. The Company has incurred net losses of approximately $21,643,134 for the period from June 1, 2000 (inception of exploration state) to May 31, 2004 and requires additional financing in order to finance its business activities on an ongoing basis. The Company is actively pursuing alternative financing and has had discussions with various third parties, although no firm commitments have been obtained. However, management believes that the money raised from the private placements in July and November 2003 along with money from the exercising of stock options and warrants, will be sufficient to continue planned operations for the remainder of the current fiscal year.

        The Company’s future capital requirements will depend on numerous factors including, but not limited to, acquiring interests in various mining opportunities and the success of its current mining operations.

        These financial statements do not reflect adjustments that would be necessary if the Company were unable to continue as a “going concern”. While management believes that the actions already taken or planned, will mitigate the adverse conditions and events which raise doubt about the validity of the “going concern” assumption used in preparing these financial statements, there can be no assurance that these actions will be successful.

        If the Company were unable to continue as a “going concern”, then substantial adjustments would be necessary to the carrying values of assets, the reported amounts of its liabilities, the reported expenses, and the balance sheet classifications used.

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Organization and Basis of Presentation

        The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on November 30, 1998. On June 11, 2003, the Company changed its name to Patriot Gold Corp.

Nature of Business

        The Company has no products or services as of May 31, 2004. The Company operated from November 30, 1998 through approximately May 31, 2000 in the production of ostrich meat. On June 1, 2000, the Company ceased operations.

        In June 2003, Management decided to change the direction of the Company and has decided to become a natural resource exploration company and will seek opportunities in this field. The Company is currently engaging in the acquisition, exploration, and if warranted and feasible, development of natural resource properties. Since June 1, 2000, the Company is in the exploration state.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

        For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents to the extent the funds are not being held for investment purposes.

Pervasiveness of Estimates

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles required management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Foreign Currency

        Prior to the quarter ending August 31, 2003, the Company’s primary functional currency was the Canadian dollar. During, the quarter ended August 31, 2003, the Company underwent some significant changes in its operations. Prior to May 31, 2000, the company was in the business of producing ostrich meat in Canada. Subsequently on June 1, 2000, the Company ceased operations and remained dormant until June 2003, when the Company decided to enter the mining industry in the United States. Due to the change in direction the Company was headed, the majority of its operations and transactions would be located in the United States and the majority of the transaction would be in U.S. dollars. This was considered “a significant change in economic facts and circumstances” per SFAS 52, Appendix A and thus the Company changed its functional currency from the Canadian dollar to the U.S. dollar.

        The Company’s primary functional currency is the U.S. dollar. However, the Company still has a few transactions with Canadian suppliers. Transaction gains and losses are included in income. However, for the year ended May 31, 2004 and 2003, no transaction gains or losses occurred.

Concentration of Credit Risk

        The Company has no significant off-balance-sheet concentrations of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, options contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements. The Company maintains the majority of its cash balances with one financial institution, in the form of demand deposits.

Loss per Share

        Net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The effect of the Company’s common stock equivalents would be anti-dilutive for May 31, 2004 and 2003 and are thus not considered.

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Comprehensive Income

        The Company has adopted SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income”, which establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. The Company is disclosing this information on its Consolidated Statement of Operations. Comprehensive income is comprised of net income (loss) and all changes to capital deficit except those resulting from investments by owners and distribution to owners.

Stock Options

        The Company has adopted SFAS No. 123, “Stock Option and Purchase Plans”, which establishes standards for reporting compensation expense for stock options that have been issued. The fair value of each stock option granted is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

Exploration and Development Costs

        On June 1, 2000, the Company ceased operations and until June 2003 conducted minimal administrative activities. The Company has been in the exploration state since that time and has not yet realized any revenue from its planned operations. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of mining properties. Mineral exploration costs and payments related to the acquisition of the mineral rights are expensed as incurred. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs incurred to acquire and develop such property will be capitalized. Such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve.

Advertising Costs

        Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. There was no advertising expense for the year ended May 31, 2004 and 2003.

NOTE 2 — INCOME TAXES

        As of May 31, 2004, the Company had a net operating loss carryforward for income tax reporting purposes of approximately $21,684,000 that may be offset against future taxable income through 2022. Current tax laws limit the amount of loss available to be offset against future taxable income when a substantial change in ownership occurs. Therefore, the amount available to offset future taxable income may be limited. No tax benefit has been reported in the financial statements, because the Company believes there is a 50% or greater chance the carryforwards will expire unused. Accordingly, the potential tax benefits of the loss carryforwards are offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.

NOTE 3 — EXPLORATION STATE COMPANY/ GOING CONCERN

        The Company has not begun principal operations and as is common with a company in the exploration state, the Company has had recurring losses. Continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining the additional working capital necessary to be successful in its planned activity, and the management of the Company has developed a strategy, which it believes will accomplish this objective through additional equity funding and long term financing, which will enable the Company to operate for the coming year.

NOTE 4 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

        As of May 31, 2004, all activities of the Company have been conducted by corporate officers from either their homes or business offices. There are no commitments for future use of the facilities.

        On June 12, 2003, the Company issued 13,500,000 Series A 7% Redeemable Preferred Shares to Mr. Bruce Johnstone, a former director and sole officer. On January 24, 2004, Mr. Johnstone converted these shares into the same number of common shares and transferred 3,000,000 shares to each of the three directors, Ronald C. Blomkamp, Robert D. Coale and Robert A. Sibthorpe. Compensation expense of $16,254,000 was record in connection with the transfer.

NOTE 5 — STOCK OPTIONS / WARRANTS

        Pursuant to a 2003 Stock Option Plan, grants of shares can be made to employees, officers, directors, consultants and independent contractors of non-qualified stock options as well as for the grant of stock options to employees that qualify as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (“Code”) or as non-qualified stock options. The Plan is administered by the Option Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”), which has, subject to specified limitations, the full authority to grant options and establish the terms and conditions for vesting and exercise thereof. Currently the entire Board functions as the Committee.

        In order to exercise an option granted under the Plan, the optionee must pay the full exercise price of the shares being purchased. Payment may be made either: (i) in cash; or (ii) at the discretion of the Committee, by delivering shares of common stock already owned by the optionee that have a fair market value equal to the applicable exercise price; or (iii) with the approval of the Committee, with monies borrowed from us.

        Subject to the foregoing, the Committee has broad discretion to describe the terms and conditions applicable to options granted under the Plan. The Committee may at any time discontinue granting options under the Plan or otherwise suspend, amend or terminate the Plan and may, with the consent of an optionee, make such modification of the terms and conditions of such optionee’s option as the Committee shall deem advisable.

        On May 26, 2003, the Board of Directors approved a stock option plan whereby 2,546,000 common shares have been set aside for employees and consultants to be distributed at the discretion of the Board of Directors. On September 22, 2003, the Board of Directors amended the stock option plan to allow 3,000,000 additional options. As of May 31, 2004, 5,290,000 stock options were granted to various directors and consultants for an exercise price ranging from $.05 to $1.50 per share.

        In most cases the fair value of the stock issued was higher then the exercise price. Compensation expense of $4,892,401 has been recorded in connection with the granting of the stock options as of May 31, 2004. The Black-Scholes option pricing model was used to calculate to estimate the fair value of the options granted. The following assumptions were made:

Risk Free Rate (Equal to Libor)      1.028 %
Expected Life of Option    10 years  
Expected Volatility of Stock (Based on Historical Volatility)    96.00 %
Expected Dividend yield of Stock    0.00

        On June 11, 2003, the Company issued 13,500,000 Series A shares of preferred stock to its president for services rendered and recorded $13,500 in consulting expenses. The Series A shares have non-cumulative dividends of 7% of the redemption price when declared by the Board. On September 2, 2003, the Company’s previous president converted his 13,500,000 shares of preferred stock into 13,500,000 shares of common stock.

NOTE 8 — STOCK SPLIT

        On June 17, 2003, the Company approved a forward split at a rate of one for seven and six-tenths so that each share of common stock will be equal to 7.6 shares. All references to shares in the accompanying financial statements have been adjusted for the stock split.

NOTE 9 — MINERAL PROPERTIES

        The Company has an agreement with Minquest, Inc. which gives them the right to purchase 100% of the mining interests of two Nevada mineral exploration properties currently controlled by MinQuest, a natural resource exploration company. Together, these two properties consist of 28 mining claims on a total of 560 acres in the northwest trending Walker Lane located in western Nevada.

        In order to earn a 100% interest in these two properties, the Company must pay MinQuest, Inc. and incur expenditures relating to mining operations in accordance with the following schedule: (i) on or before July 25, 2004, $20,000 to MinQuest and $75,000 in expenditures; (ii) on or before July 25, 2005, $20,000 to MinQuest and an additional $100,000 in expenditures; (iii) on or before July 25, 2006, $20,000 to MinQuest and an additional $100,000 in expenditures; (iv) on or before July 25, 2007, $20,000 to MinQuest and an additional $100,000 in expenditures; and (v) on or before July 25, 2008, an additional $125,000 in expenditures. If the Company has not incurred the requisite expenditures to maintain the option in good standing, the Company has a 60-day period subsequent to July 25th to make such payment along with such amount which shall be deemed to have been an

expenditure incurred by us during such period. Since the payment obligations are non-refundable, if the Company does not make any payments, it will lose any payments made and all our rights to the properties. If all said payments are made, then the Company will acquire all mining interests in the property, subject to MinQuest retaining a 3% royalty of the aggregate proceeds. The Company has the right at anytime to discontinue making the payments if the exploration is determined to be unfeasible.

        As of May 31, 2004, $75,000 has been paid for in connection with the acquisition of these rights and $263,094 has been paid for expenditures in exploration of these properties. As these properties are unproven, the $350,548 has been expensed.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

This summary of accounting policies for Patriot Gold Corp. (an exploration state company) is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

 

Interim Reporting

 

The unaudited financial statements as of February 28, 2005 and for the three and nine month period then ended reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly state the financial position and results of operations for the nine months. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results which can be expected for full years.

 

Nature of Operations and Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a “going concern”, which assume that the Company will continue in operation for at least one year and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations.

 

Several conditions and events cast doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a “going concern”. The Company has incurred net losses of approximately $22,589,000 for the period from June 1, 2000 (inception of exploration state) to February 28, 2005 and requires additional financing in order to finance its business activities on an ongoing basis. The Company is actively pursuing alternative financing and has had discussions with various third parties, although no firm commitments have been obtained. However, management believes that the money raised from the private placements in July and November 2003 along with money from the exercising of stock options and warrants, will be sufficient to continue planned operations for the remainder of the current fiscal year.

 

The Company’s future capital requirements will depend on numerous factors including, but not limited to, acquiring interests in various mining opportunities and the success of its current mining operations.

 

These financial statements do not reflect adjustments that would be necessary if the Company were unable to continue as a “going concern”. While management believes that the actions already taken or planned, will mitigate the adverse conditions and events which raise doubt about the validity of the “going concern” assumption used in preparing these financial statements, there can be no assurance that these actions will be successful.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

Nature of Operations and Going Concern

 

If the Company were unable to continue as a “going concern”, then substantial adjustments would be necessary to the carrying values of assets, the reported amounts of its liabilities, the reported expenses, and the balance sheet classifications used.

 

Organization and Basis of Presentation

 

The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on November 30, 1998. On June 11, 2003, the Company changed its name to Patriot Gold Corp.

 

Nature of Business

 

The Company has no products or services as of February 28, 2005. The Company operated from November 30, 1998 through approximately May 31, 2000 in the production of ostrich meat. On June 1, 2000, the Company ceased operations.

 

In June 2003, Management decided to change the direction of the Company and has decided to become a natural resource exploration company and will seek opportunities in this field. The Company is currently engaging in the acquisition, exploration, and if warranted and feasible, development of natural resource properties. Since June 1, 2000, the Company is in the exploration state.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents to the extent the funds are not being held for investment purposes.

 

Pervasiveness of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles required management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Subsequently on June 1, 2000, the Company ceased operations and remained dormant until June 2003, when the Company decided to enter the mining industry in the United States. Due to the change in direction the Company was headed, the majority of its operations and transactions would be located in the United States and the majority of the transaction would be in U.S. dollars. This was considered “a significant change in economic facts and circumstances” per SFAS 52, Appendix A and thus the Company changed its functional currency from the Canadian dollar to the U.S. dollar.

 

The Company’s primary functional currency is the U.S. dollar. However, the Company still has a few transactions with Canadian suppliers. Transaction gains and losses are included in income. However, for the periods ended February 28, 2005 and 2004, no transaction gains or losses occurred.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

The Company has no significant off-balance-sheet concentrations of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, options contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements. The Company maintains the majority of its cash balances with one financial institution, in the form of demand deposits.

 

Loss per Share

 

Net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The effect of the Company’s common stock equivalents would be anti-dilutive for February 28, 2005 and 2004 and are thus not considered.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)  

 

Comprehensive Income

 

The Company has adopted SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income”, which establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. The Company is disclosing this information on its Consolidated Statement of Operations. Comprehensive income is comprised of net income (loss) and all changes to capital deficit except those resulting from investments by owners and distribution to owners.

 

Stock Options

 

The Company has adopted SFAS No. 123, “Stock Option and Purchase Plans”, which establishes standards for reporting compensation expense for stock options that have been issued. The fair value of each stock option granted is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

 

Exploration and Development Costs

 

On June 1, 2000, the Company ceased operations and until June 2003 conducted minimal administrative activities. The Company has been in the exploration state since that time and has not yet realized any revenue from its planned operations. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of mining properties. Mineral exploration costs and payments related to the acquisition of the mineral rights are expensed as incurred. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs incurred to acquire and develop such property will be capitalized. Such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve.

 

Advertising Costs

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. There were no advertising expenses for the periods ended February 28, 2005 and February 29, 2004.

NOTE 2 - INCOME TAXES

 

As of May 31, 2004, the Company had a net operating loss carryforward for income tax reporting purposes of approximately $21,684,000 that may be offset against future taxable income through 2024. Current tax laws limit the amount of loss available to be offset against future taxable income when a substantial change in ownership occurs. Therefore, the amount available to offset future taxable income may be limited. No tax benefit has been reported in the financial statements, because the Company believes there is a 50% or greater chance the carryforwards will expire unused. Accordingly, the potential tax benefits of the loss carryforwards are offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.

 

NOTE 3 - EXPLORATION STATE COMPANY/ GOING CONCERN

 

The Company has not begun principal operations and as is common with a company in the exploration state, the Company has had recurring losses. Continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining the additional working capital necessary to be successful in its planned activity, and the management of the Company has developed a strategy, which it believes will accomplish this objective through additional equity funding and long term financing, which will enable the Company to operate for the coming year.

 

NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

As of February 28, 2005, all activities of the Company have been conducted by corporate officers from either their homes or business offices. There are no commitments for future use of the facilities.

 

On June 11, 2003, the Company issued 13,500,000 Series A 7% Redeemable Preferred Shares to Mr. Bruce Johnstone, a former director and sole officer. On September 2, 2003, Mr. Johnstone converted these shares into the same number of common shares and on January 24, 2004, Mr. Johnstone transferred 3,000,000 shares to each of the three directors, Ronald C. Blomkamp, Robert D. Coale and Robert A. Sibthorpe. Compensation expense of $16,254,000 was record in connection with the transfer.

NOTE 5 - STOCK OPTIONS / WARRANTS

 

Pursuant to a 2003 Stock Option Plan, grants of shares can be made to employees, officers, directors, consultants and independent contractors of non-qualified stock options as well as for the grant of stock options to employees that qualify as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (“Code”) or as non-qualified stock options. The Plan is administered by the Option Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”), which has, subject to specified limitations, the full authority to grant options and establish the terms and conditions for vesting and exercise thereof. Currently the entire Board functions as the Committee.

 

In order to exercise an option granted under the Plan, the optionee must pay the full exercise price of the shares being purchased. Payment may be made either: (i) in cash; or (ii) at the discretion of the Committee, by delivering shares of common stock already owned by the optionee that have a fair market value equal to the applicable exercise price; or (iii) with the approval of the Committee, with monies borrowed from us.

 

Subject to the foregoing, the Committee has broad discretion to describe the terms and conditions applicable to options granted under the Plan. The Committee may at any time discontinue granting options under the Plan or otherwise suspend, amend or terminate the Plan and may, with the consent of an optionee, make such modification of the terms and conditions of such optionee’s option as the Committee shall deem advisable.

 

On May 26, 2003, the Board of Directors approved a stock option plan whereby 2,546,000 common shares have been set aside for employees and consultants to be distributed at the discretion of the Board of Directors. On September 22, 2003, the Board of Directors amended the stock option plan to allow 3,000,000 additional options. As of May 31, 2004, 5,290,000 stock options were granted to various directors and consultants for an exercise price ranging from $.05 to $1.50 per share.

 

In most cases the fair value of the stock issued was higher then the exercise price. Compensation expense of $4,892,401 has been recorded in connection with the granting of the stock options as of May 31, 2004. The Black-Scholes option pricing model was used to calculate to estimate the fair value of the options granted. The following assumptions were made:

NOTE 9 - MINERAL PROPERTIES (Continued)

 

In order to earn a 100% interest in these two properties, the Company must pay MinQuest, Inc. and incur expenditures relating to mining operations in accordance with the following schedule: (i) on or before July 25, 2004, $20,000 to MinQuest and $75,000 in expenditures; (ii) on or before July 25, 2005, $20,000 to MinQuest and an additional $100,000 in expenditures; (iii) on or before July 25, 2006, $20,000 to MinQuest and an additional $100,000 in expenditures; (iv) on or before July 25, 2007, $20,000 to MinQuest and an additional $100,000 in expenditures; and (v) on or before July 25, 2008, an additional $125,000 in expenditures. If the Company has not incurred the requisite expenditures to maintain the option in good standing, the Company has a 60-day period subsequent to July 25th to make such payment along with such amount which shall be deemed to have been an expenditure incurred by us during such period. Since the payment obligations are non-refundable, if the Company does not make any payments, it will lose any payments made and all our rights to the properties. If all said payments are made, then the Company will acquire all mining interests in the property, subject to MinQuest retaining a 3% royalty of the aggregate proceeds. The Company has the right at anytime to discontinue making the payments if the exploration is determined to be unfeasible.

 

On February 19, 2004, the Company executed a formal agreement to purchase 100% mining interest in the Moss Mine property located in the historic Oatman gold mining district for $350,000. On February 27, 2004, $25,000 was paid in connection with this agreement and three months after signing, on June 14, 2004, an additional $25,000 was paid. On or before the 6-month anniversary from when we signed the definitive agreement, the balance of $300,000 was due to the sellers. On August 27, 2004, the Company paid the final $300,000 to the sellers.

 

As of February 28, 2005, $382,500 has been paid in connection with the acquisition of these rights and $838,722 has been paid for expenditures in exploration of these properties. As these properties are unproven, all $1,221,222 has been expensed.

Excepted from that immunity are: (a) a willful failure to deal fairly with the company or its shareholders in connection with a matter in which the director has a material conflict of interest; (b) a violation of criminal law, unless the director had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was lawful or no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful; (c) a transaction from which the director derived an improper personal profit; and (d) willful misconduct.

 

Our bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent not prohibited by Nevada law; provided, however, that we may modify the extent of such indemnification by individual contracts with our directors and officers; and, provided, further, that we shall not be required to indemnify any director or officer in connection with any proceeding, or part thereof, initiated by such person unless such indemnification: (a) is expressly required to be made by law, (b) the proceeding was authorized by our board of directors, (c) is provided by us, in our sole discretion, pursuant to the powers

vested us under Nevada law or (d) is required to be made pursuant to the bylaws.

 

Our bylaws also provide that we may indemnify a director or former director of subsidiary corporation and we may indemnify our officers, employees or agents, or the officers, employees or agents of a subsidiary corporation and the heirs and personal representatives of any such person, against all expenses incurred by the person relating to a judgment, criminal charge, administrative action or

other proceeding to which he or she is a party by reason of being or having been one of our directors, officers or employees.

 

Our directors cause us to purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of a person who is or was serving as our director, officer, employee or agent, or as a director, officer, employee or agent or our subsidiaries, and his or her heirs or personal representatives against a liability incurred by him as a director, officer, employee or agent.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and control persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, we have been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy, and is therefore unenforceable.

Item 26. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES.

 

On June 12, 2003, we issued 13,500,000 Series A 7% Redeemable Preferred Shares to Mr. Bruce Johnstone, a former director and officer of the Company, for services provided to the Company by Mr. Johnstone, who is an accredited investor (as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D) and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that he is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of this investment. The dollar value of these preferred shares when they were issued to Mr. Johnstone was $13,500.00. The services included, without limitation, the determination to transform the company from the then business of ostrich meat production to the current business activity of resource exploration and ensuring that the company would maintain its corporate existence. During this process, Mr. Johnstone was responsible for finding and securing qualified directors for the board, which made up the new management team for the company. Along with this he was also responsible for arranging and closing our July 2003 private placement financing. These funds provided the necessary funding to secure the first resource exploration projects which Mr. Johnstone established when he signed the Letter of Intent with MinQuest Inc. on June 27, 2003. Each preferred share has the right to vote with the common shares on all matters requiring stockholder vote. The shares were issued in consideration for services provided to us. The issuance was made pursuant to an exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and did not involve a public offering.

 

On July 25, 2003 we issued to each of Almir Ramic, Paul Uppal and David Langley, three non-United States accredited investors, an aggregate of 350,000 shares of common stock and 350,000 Class A warrants, 350,000 Class B warrants, 350,000 Class C warrants and 350,000 Class D warrants in consideration for an aggregate of $367,500. Each warrant is exercisable, commencing October 25, 2003, for a period of three years at a price of $1.40, $1.45, $1.50, and $1.55, respectively, for one share of common stock. The issuance was made to accredited investors without any general solicitation or advertisement and a restriction on resale pursuant to an exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and did not involve a public offering.

On September 2, 2003, we executed and delivered an agreement with Bruce Johnstone, a former officer and director, whereby the 13,500,000 shares of Series A 7% Redeemable Preferred Stock held by Mr. Johnstone were exchanged for 13,500,000 shares of our common stock. The issuance was made to the conversion of an existing security held by a former officer of the Company that was issued without any general solicitation or advertisement and include a restriction on resale, pursuant to an exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and did not involve a public offering.

 

On November 27, 2003 we issued to each of Almir Ramic, Colin Bruce Worth and Jill Kurucz, three non-United States accredited investors, an aggregate of 864,000 shares of common stock and 864,000 Class A-1 warrants, 864,000 Class B-1 warrants, 864,000 Class C-1 warrants and 864,000 Class D-1 warrants in consideration for an aggregate of $1,080,000. The Class A-1 warrants are exercisable on November 27, 2004 for a period of 5 years at an exercise price of $1.40 per share of common stock; the Class B-1 warrants are exercisable on November 27, 2005 for a period of 4 years at an exercise price of $1.45; the Class C-1 warrants are exercisable on November 27, 2006 for a period of 3 years at an exercise price of $1.50; and the Class D-1 warrants are exercisable on November 27, 2007 for a period of 2 years at an exercise price of $1.55 per share. The issuance was made to accredited investors who were also existing shareholders of the Company without any general solicitation or advertisement and a restriction on resale, pursuant to an exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and did not involve a public offering.

 

Since February 2, 2004, we have issued 1,560,000 shares of common stock pursuant to options granted to employees and consultants eligible for grants under our Amended 2003 Stock Option Plan. The grants of options and the issuance of shares of common stock upon the exercise thereof were registered by us on Form S-8.

Item 28. UNDERTAKINGS.

 

(A)

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(1)

To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, apost-effective amendment to this registration statement to:

 

(i)

Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

 

(ii)

Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement; and

 

(iii)

Include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

 

(2)

That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

II-5

 



 

(3)

To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

(B)

Undertaking Required by Regulation S-B, Item 512(e).

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel that the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. (C) Undertaking Required by Regulation S-B, Item 512(f)

 

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at the time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
