Our consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations for the periods presented have been restated from the consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations originally reported to reflect the expensing of approximately $162,454 in costs of exploring unproven properties which we previously had capitalized. In addition, changes were made to increase compensation expense by $18,252,427 due to incorrectly calculating compensation for stock options granted and common stock issued for services. For convenience and ease of reference we are filing this Quarterly Report in its entirety with the applicable changes. Unless otherwise stated, all information contained in this amendment is as of April 9, 2004, the filing date of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for the fiscal quarter ended February 29, 2004.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements. PATRIOT GOLD CORP. (An Exploration State Company) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES This summary of accounting policies for Patriot Gold Corp. 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. Restatement of previously issued financial statements for the three months ended February 29, 2004 We have restated our balance sheet at February 29, 2004, and statements of income, stockholders equity and cash flows for the three and nine months ended February 29, 2004. The restatement impacts the three and nine months ended February 29, 2004 but has no effect on the financial statements issued in prior fiscal years. The restatement corrects an error within the meaning of APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes, made in the application of GAAP. We incorrectly calculated compensation expense for stock options granted under fair market value and for common stock issued for services. In addition, we expensed mining costs that were incorrectly capitalized. The impact of the restatement on net loss is $18,414,881, net of tax for the nine months ended February 29, 2004. Interim Reporting The unaudited financial statements as of February 29, 2004 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 three and 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 $20,816,000 for the period from June 1, 2000 (inception of exploration state) to February 29, 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, will be sufficient to continue planned operations for the remainder of the current fiscal year. PATRIOT GOLD CORP. (An Exploration State Company) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (Unaudited) NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Nature of Operations and Going Concern (Continued) 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. 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 29, 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. PATRIOT GOLD CORP. (An Exploration State Company) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (Unaudited) NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 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 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 three and nine months ended February 29, 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. PATRIOT GOLD CORP. (An Exploration State Company) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (Unaudited) NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 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 29, 2004 and February 28, 2003 and are thus not considered. 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 Stockholders' Equity. 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 three and nine months ended February 29, 2004 and February 28, 2003. PATRIOT GOLD CORP. (An Exploration State Company) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (Unaudited) NOTE 2 - INCOME TAXES As of February 29, 2004, the Company had a net operating loss carryforward for income tax reporting purposes of approximately $20,857,000 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 February 29, 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. Subsequently, 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 $16,267,500 was recorded 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. PATRIOT GOLD CORP. (An Exploration State Company) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (Unaudited) NOTE 5 - STOCK OPTIONS / WARRANTS (Continued) 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 February 29, 2004, 5,020,000 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 $4,280,347 has been recorded in connection with the granting of the stock options as of February 29, 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 10years Expected Volatility of Stock (Based on Historical Volatility) 96.00% Expected Dividend yield of Stock 0.00 On July 25, 2003, the Company issued 350,000 Class A warrants, 350,000 Class B warrants, 350,000 Class C warrants, and 350,000 Class D warrants. 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 warrants were determined to have no value at the time of their issuance. The shares and warrants were issued to David Langley, Almir Ramic and Paul Uppal. PATRIOT GOLD CORP.

(An Exploration State Company) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (Unaudited) NOTE 6 - COMMON STOCK TRANSACTIONS The Company was incorporated to allow for the issuance of up to 100,000,000 shares of $.001 par value common stock (as amended). At inception, the Company issued 7,600,000 shares of common stock to its officers and directors for services performed and payments made on the Company's behalf during its formation. This transaction was valued at approximately $.001 per share or an aggregate approximate $1,000. On February 8, 1999, to provide initial working capital, the Company authorized a private placement sale of an aggregate of 7,600,000 (1,000,000 pre-split) shares of common stock at approximately $.05 per share. The private placement was completed April 1, 1999 and 7,630,400 shares were issued for approximately $50,200 in proceeds to the Company which were primarily used to pay operating expenses.

During the quarter ending February 29, 2004, 240,000 common shares were issued in connection with the exercising of stock options for cash of $185,600. The exercise price ranged from $.75 to $1.03.

(An Exploration State Company) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (Unaudited) NOTE 7 - PREFERRED STOCK The Company has authorized a total of 20,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock with a par value of $.001. As of November 30, 2003, there are no preferred shares outstanding. The Corporation is under no obligation to pay dividends on the Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock, and the stock is redeemable at the option of the Company. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation, the holders of outstanding shares of Series A Preferred shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to shareholders, before any payment shall be made to or set aside for holders of the Common Stock, at an amount of $.001 plus any unpaid and accrued dividends per share. A holder of Series A Preferred has the right to one vote per share in the case of matters provided for in the General Corporation Law of the State of Nevada or the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws to be voted on by the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock as a separate class. In the case of matters to be voted on by the holders of Common Stock and the holders of Series A Preferred voting together as a single class, each share of Series A Preferred, has full voting rights and powers equal to the voting rights and powers of the holders of the 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. PATRIOT GOLD CORP. (An Exploration State Company) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (Unaudited) 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, 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. The Company has the right at anytime to discontinue making the payments if the exploration is determined to be unfeasible. As of February 29, 2004, $75,000 has been paid for in connection with the acquisition of these rights and $87,454 has been paid for expenditures in exploration of these properties. As these properties are unproven, the $162,454 has been expensed. NOTE 10 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On March 5, 2004, the Company issued 270,000 in additional stock options with an exercise price of $.75. Consulting expense of $612,055 will be recorded as a result of these stock options. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION. Certain statements contained in this report, including statements regarding the anticipated development and expansion of our business, our intent, belief or current expectations, primarily with respect to the future operating performance of the Company and the feasibility of the property in which we have an interest and other statements contained herein regarding matters that are not historical facts, are "forward-looking" statements. 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. For a more detailed listing of some of the risks and uncertainties we face, please see the 2003 Form 10-KSB filed by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 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. 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.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. With this in mind, we have to this date identified and secured two properties in the Walker Lane area of Nevada, and are working to acquire a property in the historic Oatman mining district of Arizona. 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. With adequate funding to meet all our obligations on our current projects, as well as those of any that are currently under review for acquisition, 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. 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 feel that we 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 included 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. An agreement with Minquest, Inc. signed in July 2003 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 in Nevada. Minquest Property Option Agreement for Bruner and Vernal Properties 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. 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. 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. 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. Poorly exposed narrow masses of rock intersecting other rocks and filling inclined or vertical fractures with quartz minerals (quartz veining) in volcanic rock 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 the Moss Mine property owned by an extended family and which is located in the historic Oatman gold mining district in Arizona. This property is unrelated to and separate from the MinQuest property also located in the Moss Mine region. Work already completed on this property includes a pre-feasibility study as well as 36,000 feet of primarily Reverse Circulation (RC) 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. The material is brought up from depth as a series of small chips of rock that are then bagged and sent in for analysis. This is a quicker and cheaper method of drilling, but does not necessarily give one as much information about the underlying rocks. 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. The owners, who are 23 members of an extended family, are represented by Barbara Williams, a realtor and a member of this extended family. None of the owners, including Barbara Williams, has or had any relationship or affiliation with us prior to the agreement for the Williams property. On February 19, 2004, we executed a formal agreement to purchase the Williams property for $350,000. We deposited $25,000 with the title company as escrow agent and three months after signing are required to deposit an additional $25,000 deposit. When the escrow agent receives signature pages from the 10 sellers, the initial $25,000 deposit shall be delivered to the seller. On the 3-month anniversary from when we signed the definitive agreement, the second $25,000 belongs to the seller. On or before the 6-month anniversary from when we signed the definitive agreement, the balance of $300,000 is due to the seller. During the 6 month period after the signing of the definitive agreement we have the right to conduct our due diligence on the Williams property and if we decide not to proceed we have to give the Seller and escrow agent notice no less than 10 days prior to the 6-month anniversary of our intention not to close. During this period we can not perform mining operations or remove any ore from the Williams property, but we are able to perform exploration activities which include, but are not limited to, sampling and drilling. We are 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 have concluded our analysis and have determined that it is feasible to close on the purchase of the Williams property, doing so will give us full rights to begin mining operations. We will require additional capital to fund our operations. A private placement consummated in November 2003, generated an aggregate of $1,080,000 of gross proceeds through the issuance of shares of common stock and warrants, and a further $1,723,650 was collected from the exercise of stock options issued under the company's stock option plan. We cannot be certain that any additional financing will be available to us. However, notwithstanding the going concern opinion we have received from our auditors, we believe that the funds that we now have on hand exceed our anticipated obligations for the next 12 months. As of the date hereof, we have not made any arrangements or definitive agreements to use outside advisors or consultants to raise any capital. In the event we need to raise capital, most likely the only method available to us would be through the private sale of our securities. Because of our nature as an exploration state company, it is unlikely we could make a public sale of securities or be able to borrow any significant sum, from either a commercial or private lender. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional funding when and if needed, or that such funding, if available, can be obtained on terms acceptable to us. Over the next 12 months we should have three work programs underway. Improving weather has allowed us to resume exploration of our Bruner and Vernal properties in Nevada. Interpretation of a CSMT geophysical survey confirms the presence of a major northwest trending structural zone at Bruner. Ground magnetics had indicated the presence of such a structure under gravel cover. The CSMT survey has identified a 500m by 700m area of complex structural intersections in altered and possibly mineralized rocks. Depth of the anomaly is 20 to 100m. A drilling plan is currently being developed and permitted. Drilling at Bruner should commence by early summer. At the Vernal property, mapping and sampling is 50% completed in the area of poorly exposed sheeted quartz veining in rhyolitic volcanics. This work is scheduled to be completed by May 1, weather permitting. Trenching (the digging of a long deep channel using a back hoe) or shallow auger drilling is planned as the next step in the exploration process. On the Williams property in Arizona, based on previous geological data obtained by work programs done by previous owners in the past, a $200,000 drill program has been developed and will be initiated as soon as work crews and equipment can be secured. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Restatement of previously issued financial statements for the three months ended February 29, 2004 We have restated our balance sheet at February 29, 2004, and statements of income, stockholders equity and cash flows for the three and nine months ended February 29, 2004. The restatement impacts the three and nine months ended February 29, 2004 but has no effect on the financial statements issued in prior fiscal years. The restatement corrects an error within the meaning of APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes, made in the application of GAAP. We incorrectly calculated compensation expense for stock options granted under fair market value and for common stock issued for services. In addition, we expensed mining costs that were incorrectly capitalized. The impact of the restatement on net loss is $18,414,881, net of tax for the nine months ended February 29, 2004. For the quarter ended February 29, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended May 31, 2004. The Company had no sales and sales revenues from continuing operations for the three and nine months ended February 29, 2004 and no sales for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2003 from continuing operations. The Company had no selling and marketing expenses from continuing operations for the three and nine months ended February 29, 2004 and the three and nine months ended February 28, 2004. Mining Costs were $119,697 and $162,454 for the three and nine months ended February 29, 2004 and $0 for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2003. These expenses include costs money paid for acquiring mineral rights and exploration costs related to these rights. General and administrative expenses were $18,583,244 and $for the three and nine months ended February 29, 2004 and $1,325 and $3,295for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2003. The increase in general and administrative expenses from 2003 to 2004 is largely attributable to $4,280,347 in consulting fees as a result of the issuance of stock options to various consultants that were issued at a discounted price and $16,254,000 in consulting fees as a result of 9,000,000 shares being transferred from Bruce Johnstone to three officers. 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 $18,702,941 and $20,798,978 for the three and nine months ended February 29, 2004 compared to a net loss of $1,325 and $3,295 for the same period in 2003. Increase in the net loss is attributable to the execution of the Property Option Agreement with Minquest. Which up until that point we had no operations. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Our balance sheet as of February 29, 2004 reflects assets of $3,108,189 consisting of $3,105,509 in cash and $2,680 in other current assets. Total liabilities on the balance sheet as of February 29, 2004 reflect current liabilities of $30,054, 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. 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. During the three and nine months ended February 29, 2004, $185,600 and $3,343,325 was obtained from a private placement and from the exercise of stock options issued under the company's stock option plan. Going Concern Consideration As indicated in the accompanying balance sheet, as of February 29, 2004 we had $3,105,509 in cash available and accounts payable of $30,054. 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 $1,895,825. Management believes that the gross proceeds from the private placement will be sufficient to continue our planned activities for the next 12 months. However, we anticipate generating losses and therefore we may be unable to continue operations in the future as a going concern. In addition, on or before July 25, 2004 we are required to incur no less than $75,000 in expenditures in connection with mining operations as well as paying MinQuest $20,000. 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 identified by our directors resulting from their ongoing efforts to find quality projects for our shareholders. 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. We currently have no arrangements, agreements or understandings with respect to obtaining funds through bank loans, lines or credit or other sources. No adjustment has been made in the accompanying financial statements to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities which could result should be unable to continue as a going concern. 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. ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. The Company's president acts both as the Company's chief executive officer and chief financial officer and is responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures for the Company. (a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's President, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Based upon the evaluation, the Company's President concluded that, as of the end of the period, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective in timely alerting him to material information relating to the Company required to be included in the reports that the Company files and submits pursuant to the Exchange Act. (b) Changes in Internal Controls Based on his evaluation as of February 29, 2004, there were no significant changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting or in any other areas that could significantly affect the Company's internal controls subsequent to the date of his most recent evaluation, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
