Item 1.
Description of Business.
Our Development
We are a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Nevada on November 24, 1998. We were incorporated under the name "Herrimen Oil & Gas Inc." and our articles were amended on April 2, 2003 to change our name to "Boundaries Capital, Inc." We amended our articles to change our name to "Golden Patriot, Corp." on October 10, 2003 to better reflect our change in business to a mining company with properties in Nevada.
Our Prior Business
We were originally incorporated to explore and develop or participate in the exploration and development of oil and gas properties in California. By agreement between Brothers Oil & Gas Inc. ("Brothers") and us, we had an option (the "Option") to acquire Brothers' 13% (approximate) interest ("Brothers' Interest") in a property (the "Property") known as the Pioneer Canal Prospect. At the time we entered into this transaction, it was a related party transaction, in that Allen Sewell was our director as well as being a director and shareholder of Brothers. The Property comprised of approximately 240 acres in Kern County, California. The total acreage is divided into 160 acres for the 61-9 Well and 80 acres for the 18 R Well. We paid $45,000 to Brothers for the acquisition cost of the option to acquire Brothers' Interest in the Property.
3
The exercise price of the Option was $750,000, if exercised, we would have earned a 12% and a 13% working interest in the two wells.
The Option originally terminated on June 30, 1999, but by a letter from Brothers dated June 18, 1999 the option was extended. By letters from Brothers dated December 31, 2001, and June 25, 2002, the Option was further extended on a month-to-month basis before being mutually terminated on September 29, 2003.
Our Current Business
We are engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties in the State of Nevada. We are currently actively engaged in exploration activities on the Dun Glen Property.
The Dun Glen Prospect
By a mining lease agreement dated September 25, 2003, we acquired from Scoonover Exploration LLC ("Scoonover") the exclusive right to prospect and explore 28 lode mining claims located in Pershing County, Nevada for $10,000 (paid). The definitive agreement gave us lease rights to a 100% interest in the Property contingent upon certain annual payments being made to Scoonover. A copy of the Mining Lease Agreement is included in the Annual Report as Exhibit 10.1. After we entered into this agreement, it became a related party transaction in that E.L. Hunsaker III was a director and principal shareholder of Scoonover and on October 21, 2003, he became one of our directors.
The exploration work on the Dun Glen Property is intended to occur over the next twelve months in two phases. The first is a "Scientific Investigations" phase consisting of the current geochemical plus geophysical and alteration studies necessary to target the best areas for future drilling. The purpose of the first phase is to gain the necessary approvals for conducting ground work on-site at Dun Glen and to determine the best drill targets for future core drilling. The second phase is a "core drilling" phase. The first phase has already begun and the starting date for the second phase is anticipated to be in September or October 2004, depending on weather, financing, and ground conditions as well as rig availability.
Assay results from the first group of surface rock chip samples collected in the first phase of sampling at the Dun Glen Project were encouraging. These results when combined with previous sampling and the geologic mapping completed to date highlight another favorable portion of the 10,000 foot long vein zone. The highest assay received on the Dun Glen Prospect to date were 2.2 ounce of gold per ton. A second round of sampling for the first phase of the program is not yet complete. We are mainly mining for gold at this time.
Sierra Claims
On January 27, 2004, we entered into a contract with ZyMin Corporation ("ZyMin") to purchase a 100% interest in 30 mineral claims (the "Sierra Claims") located in Pershing County, Nevada. As consideration for the sales and conveyance, we issued 222,000 common shares to ZyMin. The Sierra Claims form a buffer around existing properties that comprise the Dun Glen Project. A copy of this contract is included in the Annual Report as Exhibit 10.2.
Scoonover Properties
On March 1, 2004 we entered into an acquisition agreement with Scoonover, whereby we agreed to acquire 100% ownership of the unpatented mining claims and the net smelter royalties ("NSR") throughout five properties (the Dun Glen (28 claims), Debut (16 claims), SMH (20 claims), Roxy and Gold View properties (76 claims)) in consideration for $10,000 and 1,000,000 of our common shares . The 58 Dun Glen claims that we acquired in this agreement are the same 28 claims referred to above under the "Dun Glen Prospect" and the 30 claim referred to above under the "Sierra Claims". This agreement resulted in the cancellation of our future royalty payments due to Scoonover pursuant to our Mining Lease Agreement with them. This is a related party transaction in that E.L. Hunsaker III is a director and principal shareholder of Scoonover and one of our directors. A copy of this acquisition agreement is included in the Annual Report as Exhibit 10.3.
4
Debut Property
By quitclaim deed dated December 12, 2003, we acquired a 100% interest from Scoonover in 16 unpatented lode mineral claims located in Pershing County, Nevada for $3,500. This agreement is subject to a production royalty of 21/2% of NSR. This is a related party transaction in that E.L. Hunsaker III is a director and principal shareholder of Scoonover and he is one of our directors. We have not initiated any exploration activities on this property as of the date of this Annual Report. A copy of the Quitclaim Deed is included in the Annual Report as Exhibit 10.4.
Joint Venture
By a letter of intent dated March 15, 2004, we granted Megastar Development Corp. ("MDV"), a Canadian
public company, the option to earn a 50% ownership interest in the Debut Property. As consideration MDV was to pay us a total of $201,600, issue us a total of 500,000 of its common shares and incur exploration cost on the property totaling $1,000,000. A copy of the letter of intent is included in the Annual Report as Exhibit 10.5. On May 10, 2004, the Company and MDV mutually terminated the letter of intent.
Subsequent Events
We entered into an option agreement with Minterra Resources Corp. ("Minterra") on July 26, 2004, whereby we granted Minterra the option to earn a 50% ownership interest in the Gold View and Dun Glen Prospects. Minterra is a publicly traded exploration company listed on the TSX Venture Exchange and, as such, this agreement is subject to regulatory approval. As consideration, Minterra is required, per property, to reimburse us our out-of-pocket costs up to a maximum of $30,000, issue us 100,000 of its common shares and incur a total of $1,000,000 Canadian Dollars on exploration and development on each property within three years. A copy of the option agreement is included in the Annual Report as Exhibit 10.6.
Investor Relations
In October 2003, we entered into an oral agreement with KCrew Communication Inc. ("KCrew") to provide investor relations services on our behalf in consideration for $2,500 Canadian Dollars per month. On April 30, 2004, we terminated the agreement with KCrew.
Consulting Agreements
By consulting agreements dated August 1, 2003, we engaged two consultants, Greg Burnett and Michael Townsend, for a twelve month period to provide consulting services to us. Mr. Townsend seeks out and negotiates potential mining properties and joint venture opportunities for us. Mr. Burnett liaisons with our board on various business matters and provides us his expertise on securities issues. None of the services provided by either Mr. Townsend or Mr. Burnett are of a promotional, investor relations or fiscal agency nature. In consideration for these services, we issued a total of 12,500,000 (forward split adjusted) common shares to these consultants. In addition, on September 2, 2003 and pursuant our escrow agreement with Stepp Law Group, we issued into escrow a further 12,500,000 (forward split adjusted) common shares to be transferred to the consultants if we and the consultants consider additiona l consideration for services provided to be appropriate. These shares may be released from escrow as payment for consulting services should we and the consultants agree compensation for services is appropriate. Mr. Townsend had 5,000,000 shares released from escrow during the year ended April 30, 2004, while all of Mr. Burnett's shares remain in escrow. Their services are not of a promotional, investor relations or fiscal agency nature. A copy of the each amended consulting agreement and the escrow agreement is attached to this Annual Report as Exhibits 10.7, 10.8 and 10.9, respectively. On July 30, 2004 both consulting agreements were extended for a further twelve month term. Each extension was done by way of on oral agreement.
On January 27, 2004, we entered into a consulting agreement with ZyMin whereby we engaged them, through their employee Charlie Sulfrian, to provide us with consulting services for a twelve month period. In consideration for services rendered, the consultant invoices for services and expense, of which 60% of the services rendered may be paid for in stock. The consultant prepares geological studies and reports, conducts field exams, analyzes and gives recommendations for the prosperities. Their services are not of a promotional, investor relations or fiscal agency nature. A copy of this consulting agreement is included in the Annual Report as Exhibit 10.10.
5
We entered into a consulting agreement with E.L. Hunsaker III on February 1, 2004, whereby we engaged him for twelve month period to provide various consulting services to us in consideration for 100,000 common shares. Mr. Hunsaker is consulting with us on the exploration and development of our existing properties and he is staking new properties. His services are not of a promotional, investor relations or fiscal agency nature. A copy of this consulting agreement is included in the Annual Report as Exhibit 10.11.
Exploration and Development
Over the last two fiscal years we have spent $647,479 on mining exploration and development. This amount includes $558,040 for the issuance of common shares for the acquisition of assets and for consulting related to exploration.
Environmental
We are a mining company and as such are subject to various federal, state and local laws in the areas where our properties are located, and regulations relating to environmental quality and pollution control. We are currently not paying any costs to comply with environmental laws, however these costs may increase in the future. Such laws and regulations increase the costs of these activities and may prevent or delay the commencement or continuance of a given operation. Compliance with these laws and regulations has not had a material effect on our operations or financial condition to date. Generally, environmental requirements do not appear to affect us any differently or to any greater or lesser extent than other companies in the industry.
Compliance with Government Regulation
We will be required to comply with all regulations, rules and directives of governmental authorities and agencies applicable to the exploration of minerals in the State of Nevada.
To maintain the claims in good standing claim maintenance fees totaling $7,000 are due with the U.S. Bureau of Land Management on August 31, 2004 and $480 is due to Perishing County on August 31, 2004.
In order to proceed with any drilling program, we will have to apply to the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. The permitting process is anticipated to take approximately two to six weeks. The permit fees are anticipated to be approximately $5,000 in total. The permitting process will be targeted to commence early in the field season with the objective of obtaining drilling permits for those locations identified for prospective drilling as a result of our initial exploration.
Additional approvals and authorizations may be required from other government agencies, depending upon the nature and scope of the proposed exploration program. The amount of these costs is not known at this time as we do not know the size, quality of any resource or reserve at this time, it is impossible to assess the impact of any capital expenditures on earnings or our competitive position.
Competition
We are a junior mineral resource exploration company engaged in the business of mineral exploration. We compete with other junior mineral resource exploration companies for financing from a limited number of investors that are prepared to make investments in junior mineral resource exploration companies. The presence of competing junior mineral resource exploration companies may impact on our ability to raise additional capital in order to fund our property acquisitions and exploration programs if investors are of the
6
view that investments in competitors are more attractive based on the merit of the mineral properties under investigation and the price of the investment.
We are also in competition with major exploration companies and as such we 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 also compete for mineral properties of merit with other junior exploration companies. Competition could reduce the availability of properties of merit or increase the cost of acquiring additional mineral properties.
Many of the junior resource exploration companies with whom we compete have greater financial and technical resources than we do. Accordingly, these competitors may be able to spend greater amounts on acquisitions of properties of merit and on exploration of their properties. In addition, they may be able to afford greater geological expertise in the targeting and exploration of resource properties. This competition could result in our competitors having resource properties of greater quality and interest to prospective investors who may finance additional exploration and to senior exploration companies that may purchase resource properties. This competition could adversely impact on our ability to finance property acquisitions and further exploration.
Employees.
We have no employees as of the date of this Annual Report. We anticipate that we will rely on the contracting of independent consultants during our exploration stage, rather than hiring employees.
Subsidiaries
Other than Golden Patriot Nevada, Corp., our wholly owned Nevada subsidiary, we have no subsidiaries. We are in the process of transferring title of all of our claims to our subsidiary. Our subsidiary has been inactive thus far.
Item 2.
Description of Property
We are an exploration state company and we do not have any proven or probable reserves on any of our properties.
We have a 100% interest in 13 unpatented mining claims and three mining lease agreements on Nevada mineral exploration properties that cover the core of the Dun Glen Mining Property, which we acquired from Scoonover. We are mining for gold and silver on the Dun Glen Property. The 13 unpatented mining claims cover approximately 269 acres. E. L. Hunsaker III is a director and principal of Scoonover as well as being one of our directors.
The Dun Glen Property is located in the Sierra (Dun Glen or Chafey) district in Dun Glen Canyon on the west flanks of the East Range. The property covers portions of sections 1, 2, 11, 12, 13, and 14, T33N/R36E, in Pershing County, Nevada. The property is reached by driving approximately 22 miles west from Winnemucca, Nevada on U.S. Interstate Highway 80 to the Dun Glen exit then traveling northeast approximately 8.5 miles on dirt road to the property.
The Marbourg et al Lease consists of two patented lode mining claims covering approximately 27 acres. The definitive agreement gives us lease rights to a 100% interest (with Marbourg et al retaining a 4% NSR in the property contingent upon annual advance royalty payments being made to Marbourg et al. An advance royalty payment of $6,000 is due September 26, 2004.
7
The Heckman Lease consists of five unpatented lode mining claims covering approximately 103 acres. The definitive agreement gives us lease rights to a 100% interest (with Heckman retaining a 3% NSR) in the property, contingent upon annual advance royalty payments being made to Heckman. An advance royalty payment of $2,000 is due September 29, 2004.
The Painter Lease consists of eight unpatented lode mining claims covering approximately 165 acres. The definitive agreement gives us lease rights to a 100% interest (with Painter retaining a 3% NSR) in the property, contingent upon annual advance royalty payments being made to Painter. An advance royalty payment of $7,000 is due October 28, 2004.
We have a 100% interest in 30 mineral claims within the Sierra Mining District of the East Range, southwest of Winnemucca, Nevada. The claims form a buffer around existing properties that comprise the Dun Glen Project. The Sierra Claims possess potential for gold resources additional to those postulated for the Dun Glen.
The Dun Glen Project consists of 46 unpatented lode mining claims held directly by Golden Patriot, Corp. with an expiry date of August 31, 2004 (date by which claim maintenance fees due to the U.S. Bureau of Land Management to maintain the claims in good standing); and 13 unpatented lode mining claims held by two ten year leases with annual advance royalty payments due to maintain the leases in good standing. These 13 claims also have an August 31, 2004 expiry date by which the claim maintenance dees must be paid to maintain the claims in good standing. Two patented mining claims are held by a ten year lease with advance royalty payments due annually to maintain the lease in good standing.
The cost to maintain the Dun Glen Project over the next twelve months is $21,000 in lease and claim fees. We intend to explore and develop this property in a comprehensive work program along with Minterra, our joint venture partner who has acquired a 50% interest in this property. Our geologist is expecting this work program to cost up to $95,000 over the next twelve months. Pursuant to our agreement with Minterra, they are obligated to spend $125,000 Canadian Dollars on this property over the next twelve months.
The exploration work on the Dun Glen Property is intended to occur over the next twelve months in two phases. The first is a "Scientific Investigations" phase consisting of the current geochemical plus geophysical and alteration studies necessary to target the best areas for future drilling. The purpose of the first phase is to gain the necessary approvals for conducting ground work on-site at Dun Glen and to determine the best drill targets for future core drilling. The second phase is a "core drilling" phase. The first phase has already begun and the starting date for the second phase is anticipated to be in September or October, depending on weather and ground conditions as well as rig availability.
Assay results from the first group of surface rock chip samples collected in the first phase of sampling at the Dun Glen Project were encouraging. These results when combined with previous sampling and the geologic mapping completed to date highlight another favorable portion of the 10,000 foot long vein zone. The highest assay received on the Dun Glen Prospect to date was 2.2 ounce of gold per ton. A second round of sampling for the first phase of the program is not yet complete. We are mainly exploring for gold and silver at this time.
We have also entered into a quitclaim deed with Scoonover whereby we acquired a 100% interest in 16 mineral claims covering 320 acres in north central Nevada, known as the Debut. The Debut property is located 96 miles south east of Elko, Nevada on the west flank of the West Buttes Range in the Delker Mining District Elko County, Nevada. The property is due north-northeast and on trend from Placer Domes Bald Mountain deposit. The Debut Prospect is an intrusive related sediment-hosted gold-copper system that holds potential for shallow, economic gold mineralization. We will be exploring for gold on the Debut property once we commence exploration.
The Debut project is located in the Delker Mining District in Elko County, Nevada at approximately 40°22' N, 115°1' W. The property is approximately 96 road miles southwest of the town of Elko. The Debut project is located in unsurveyed T29N, R62E.
8
The Debut Prospect consists of 16 unpatented lode mining claims held directly by Golden Patriot, Corp. with an expiry date of August 31, 2004 (date by which claim maintenance fees due to the U.S. Bureau of Land Management to maintain the claims in good standing).
The cost to maintain the Debut Prospect over the next twelve months is $2,140 in claim maintenance and county fees; we have sufficient capital on hand to make these payments. We intend to explore and develop the Debut Prospect, however our ability to do so is contingent on finding a joint venture partner who would aid us in meeting future cash calls. Our geologist is expecting this work program to cost up to $366,000 over the next twelve months.
We have also entered into an acquisition agreement with Scoonover whereby we acquired a 100% ownership in the Gold View project. This acquisition consists of seventy-six mineral claims in the Battle Mountain-Eureka Trend, adjacent to the Placer Dome Inc.'s recent Cortez Hills discovery. This discovery currently hosts 7.5 million ounces of gold. The Gold View claims are on trend, lying 8 miles east of the recent Mill Canyon discovery by Victoria Resources Corporation, which has identified four high-grade Carlin-type gold zones.
The Gold View Project is located on the northwest flank of the Roberts Mountains and covers parts of sections 25 and 36, Township 24 North, Range 49 East; and sections 21, 22, 28, 29, 30, and 31 Township 24 North, Range 50 East, Eureka County, Nevada The property is reached by driving approximately 22 miles west on U.S. Interstate Highway 80 to Carlin, Nevada, then south on Nevada State Highway 278 to the JD Ranch-Cortez road then approximately 6 miles west to the Tonkin Springs road and 12miles south to the property.
The Gold View Project consists of 76 unpatented lode mining claims held directly by Golden Patriot, Corp. with an expiry date of August 31, 2004 (date by which claim maintenance fees due to the U.S. Bureau of Land Management to maintain the claims in good standing).
Our cost to maintain the Gold View Project over the next 12 months is $10,150. A course of work is currently being planned to develop and advance this project. We will be exploring for gold once we commence exploration on the Gold View property.
We also acquired a 2% NSR from Scoonover on 20 mineral claims covering the SMH gold property and a 2% NSR on eight claims covering the Roxy Silver property. These properties are wholly owned by McNab Creek Gold Company.
We are currently actively seeking out a potential joint venture partner to develop and explore our existing properties.
CORPORATE OFFICE
We occupy an office of approximately 1,870 square feet at 789 West Pender Street, Suite 1205, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, which we occupy rent-free. Management believes that such offices will be satisfactory during the near term for the conduct of business. We share this office with several other public companies, of whom we have one officer in common with, namely Negar Towfigh.

On January 27, 2004, we entered into a consulting agreement with ZyMin Corporation ("ZyMin") whereby we engaged them, through their employee Charlie Sulfrian, to provide us with consulting services for a twelve month period. In consideration for services rendered, the consultant invoices for services and expense, of which 60% of the services rendered may be paid for in stock.

Item 6.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition or Plan of Operation
The following information specifies forward-looking statements of our management. Forward-looking statements are statements that estimate the happening of future events and are not based on historical fact. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "may", "will", "could", "expect", "estimate", "anticipate", "probable", "possible", "should", "continue", or similar terms, variations of those terms or the negative of those terms. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements.
The assumptions used for purposes of the forward-looking statements specified in the following information represent estimates of future events and are subject to uncertainty as to possible changes in economic, legislative, industry, and other circumstances. As a result, the identification and interpretation of data and other information and their use in developing and selecting assumptions from and among reasonable alternatives require the exercise of judgment. To the extent that the assumed events do not occur, the outcome may vary substantially from anticipated or projected results, and, accordingly, no opinion is expressed on the achievability of those forward-looking statements. No assurance can be given that any of the assumptions relating to the forward-looking statements specified in the following information are accurate, and we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements.
Plan of Operation
Our plan of operations for the next twelve months is to develop and explore our various properties in Nevada, as well as to actively seek out new properties to acquire and vend to potential joint venture partners. We anticipate that we will fund the costs of these acquisitions and developments through agreements with joint venture partners, private loans and/or future purchases of common stock by private investors. If funds become available from revenues from mining (which is currently not the case) then those funds may be made available for expansion and for increasing production facilities.
We have not received revenue from operations during any of the three fiscal years immediately prior to the filing of this Annual Report. As of August 10, 2004, we have cash reserves of approximately $8,700, which we believe will satisfy our cash requirements for less than one-hundred and twenty (120) days following
12
the filing of this Annual Report. We are expecting to receive $60,000 from Minterra as reimbursement of our out-of-pocket costs on the Dun Glen and Debut Properties once they have receive regulatory approval for our joint venture. Also, Minterra will be paying for the claim fees and royalty payments on these two properties for this year. We intend to raise additional financing through private loans. We will use this capital to finance future business activities.
The exploration work on the Dun Glen Property is intended to occur over the next twelve months in two phases. The first is a "Scientific Investigations" phase consisting of the current geochemical plus geophysical and alteration studies necessary to target the best areas for future drilling. The purpose of the first phase is to gain the necessary approvals for conducting ground work on-site at Dun Glen and to determine the best drill targets for future core drilling. The second phase is a "core drilling" phase. The first phase has already begun and the starting date for the second phase is anticipated to be in September or October 2004, depending on weather, financing, and ground conditions as well as rig availability.
An advance royalty payment of $6,000 is due September 26, 2004 on the Marbourg et al Lease consists. An advance royalty payment of $2,000 is due September 29, 2004 on the Heckman Lease. An advance royalty payment of $7,000 is due October 28, 2004 on the Painter Lease.
The cost to maintain the Dun Glen Project over the next twelve months is $21,000 in lease and claim fees. We intend to explore and develop this property in a comprehensive work program along with Minterra, our joint venture partner who has an option to acquire a 50% interest in this property, subject to regulatory approval and financing. Our geologist is expecting this work program to cost up to $95,000 over the next twelve months. Pursuant to our agreement with Minterra, subject to regulatory approval, they are obligated to spend $125,000 Canadian Dollars on this property over the next twelve months, therefore we do not expect to incur any costs on this property over the next twelve months.
Our future success will be materially dependent upon our ability to satisfy additional financing requirements. We are reviewing our options to raise substantial equity capital. We cannot estimate when we will begin to realize any revenue. In order to satisfy our requisite budget, we have held and will continue to conduct negotiations with various investors. We cannot predict whether these negotiations will result in additional investment income for us. There can be no assurance that funding for our operations will be available under favorable terms, if at all.
In the next twelve months, we hope to enter into arrangements whereby we will acquire equity interests in mining properties. However, there are certain risks associated with the mining business, including, but not limited to, severe fluctuations in commodity prices, strict regulatory requirements, uncertainty of mineral reserves and severe market fluctuations. There can be no assurance that such risks will not have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
On May 11, 20024, we entered into a consulting agreement with Equity Media Ltd. ("EML") for a term of one month in consideration for 275,000 restricted common shares. EML provided us with business development services including public relations services.
On May 15, 2004 we entered into a consulting agreement with Sean Meegan on a month to month basis in consideration of $3,500 Canadian Dollars. The services Mr. Meegan provides to us are of promotional and investor relations nature. We intend to continue using Mr. Meegan's investor relations services over the next twelve months. A copy of this consulting agreement is included in the Annual Report as Exhibit 10.12.

REPORT AND CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
April 30, 200 4 and 200 3
(Stated in US Dollars)
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholders,
Golden Patriot, Corp.
(formerly Boundaries Capital, Inc.)
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Golden Patriot, Corp. (formerly Boundaries Capital, Inc.) (An Exploration Stage Company) as of April 30, 2004 and 2003 and the related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and stockholders' equity (deficiency) for the years ended April 30, 2004 and 2003 and the period from November 24, 1998 (Date of Inception of the Exploration Stage) to April 30, 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 of America). Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance 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, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Golden Patriot, Corp. (formerly Boundaries Capital, Inc.) as of April 30, 2004 and 2003 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended April 30, 2004 and 2003 and the period from November 24, 1998 (Date of Inception of the Exploration Stage) to April 30, 2004, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements referred to above have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company is in the exploration stage, and has no established source of revenue and is dependent on its ability to raise capital from shareholders or other sources to sustain operations. These factors, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, raise substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
April 30, 2004 and 2003
(Stated in US Dollars)
Note 1
Nature and Continuance of Operations
The Company is an exploration stage company. The Company originally intended to explore and develop oil and gas properties in California, USA. During the years ended April 30, 2003 and 2002, the Company did not conduct any exploration and development. On September 29, 2003, the Company terminated the development of its oil and gas properties and during the year ended April 30, 2004, the Company entered into agreements to acquire mineral claims in Nevada, USA that it intends to explore and develop. The Company has not yet determined whether these properties contain reserves that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of the amounts shown for its properties is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, confirmation of the Company's interest in the underlying properties, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to satisfy the expenditure requirements of property agreements and complete the development of the properties, and upon future profitable production or proceeds from the sale thereof.
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. At April 30, 2004 the Company has a working capital deficiency of $47,750. The Company has not yet achieved profitable operations and as of April 30, 2004, has accumulated a deficit of $4,084,306 since inception. Its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with any certainty at this time. These factors raise substantial doubt that the company will be able to continue as a going concern. The Company has historically satisfied its capital needs primarily by issuing equity securities. Management plans to continue to provide for its capital needs during the year ended April 30, 2005 by the issuance of common stock and through loans. The Company is actively seeking one or more potential joint venture partners to develop and explore the existing mining properties. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company was incorporated in Nevada, USA on November 24, 1998, as Herrimen Oil & Gas Inc. and commenced operations at that time. On March 24, 2003, the Company changed its name to Boundaries Capital, Inc. and consolidated its shares on a 150 old to 1 new basis. On September 29, 2003, the Company changed its name to Golden Patriot, Corp., forward split its common stock on a 5 new for 1 old basis and increased its authorized capital from 50,000,000 to 150,000,000 common shares with a par value of $0.001. The number of shares issued and outstanding has been restated to give retroactive effect to this forward split of common stock.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
April 30, 2004 and 2003
(Stated in US Dollars) - Page 2
Note 2
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Because a precise determination of many assets and liabilities is dependent upon future events, the preparation of financial statements for a period necessarily involves the use of estimates which have been made using careful judgement. Actual results may vary from these estimates.
The financial statements have, in management's opinion, been properly prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the significant accounting policies summarized below:
Basis of Consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Golden Patriot Nevada, Corp. (formerly Volcalwave Software Inc.) ("Volcalwave"). Volcalwave was incorporated in the State of Nevada on August 5, 2003, and was inactive during the period August 5, 2003 to April 30, 2004.
Exploration Stage Company
The Company is an exploration stage company as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7 "Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises". The Company has devoted substantially all of its efforts to the business of exploration and development of oil and gas interests in California. All losses accumulated since incorporation have been considered as part of the Company's exploration stage activities.
Capital Assets and Amortization
The Company records office equipment and computer equipment additions at cost and provides for amortization at a rate of 20% and 30% respectively per annum using the declining balance method.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
Capital assets are reviewed for impairment in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets", which was adopted effective January 1, 2002. Under SFAS No. 144, these assets are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. An impairment charge is recognized for the amount, if any, which the carrying value of the asset exceeds the fair value.

April 30, 2004 and 2003
(Stated in US Dollars) - Page 3
Note 2
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - (cont'd)
Oil and Gas Project Costs
The Company uses the successful efforts method of accounting for oil and gas activities. All costs associated with the acquisition of, exploration for and development of oil and gas reserves are capitalized. Costs of exploratory wells that do not find proved and economically recoverable reserves including costs of related geological and geophysical studies and costs of carrying the retained property are expensed.
Unproved oil and gas properties that are individually significant are periodically assessed for impairment of value, and a loss is recognized at the time of impairment by providing an impairment allowance. Other unproved properties are amortized based on the Company's experience of successful drilling and average holding period. Capitalized assets of producing properties, including provision for estimated abandonment costs and salvage values are amortized using the unit-of-production method. Other tangible well equipment is amortized over their estimated useful lives.
Resource Properties
Cost of lease, acquisition, exploration, carrying and retaining unproven mineral properties are expensed as incurred.
Environmental Costs
Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations, and which do not contribute to current or future revenue generation, are expensed. Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable, and the cost can be reasonably estimated. Generally, the timing of these accruals coincides with the earlier of:
i)
completion of a feasibility study: or
ii)
the Company's commitments to a plan of action based on the then known facts.
There have been no environmental expenses incurred by the Company.
Values
The amounts shown for exploration and development costs represent costs to date and to not necessarily reflect present or future values.

The Company used the United States of America dollar as its reporting currency for consistency with registrants of the Securities Exchange commission ("SEC") and in accordance with the SFAS No. 52.
Assets and liabilities denominate in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the year end and capital accounts are translated at historical rates. Income statement accounts are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the year and are included in the Comprehensive Income Account in Stockholders' Equity, if applicable.
Transactions undertaken in currencies other than the functional currency of the Company are translated using the exchange rate in effect as of the translation date. Any exchange gains or losses are included in other income expenses on the Statement of Operation, if applicable.
Basic Loss Per Share
The Company reports basic loss per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128 "Earnings per Share". Basic loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.
Income Taxes
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes". Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and loss carryforwards and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

Financial Instruments
The carrying value of the Company's financial instruments, consisting of cash, amounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and advances payable approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturity of such instruments. Notes payable also approximates its fair value. Unless otherwise noted, it is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.
Stock-based Compensation
The Company has a stock-based compensation plan, which is described in Note 7. Under this plan, all stock-based payments to non-employees are accounted for using a fair value based methods of accounting. No compensation expense is recognized when the stock options are granted to employees or directors. Consideration received from employees, directors or consultants on exercise of stock option is credited to share capital. If stock is repurchased from employees, directors or consultants, the excess of the consideration paid over the carrying amount of the stock is charged to deficit. On the granting of stock options to employees or directors, the Company has elected to provide pro-forma disclosure on their fair value.

Share Purchase Options - (cont'd)
The Compensation charge associated with directors' and employees options in the amount of $150,000 is not recognized in the financial statements, but included in the pro forma amounts below. The fair value of the stock-based compensation has been determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:
Expected dividend yield |
0.0% |
||
|
Expected volatility |
46% |
|
Risk-free interest rate |
4% |
||
Weighted average expected term in years |
33 years |
The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected price volatility. Changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate and therefore the Black-Scholes model does not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Company's share purchase options.
Had compensation cost associated with directors' and employee options been determined based on fair value at the grant date, pro forma loss and loss per share would have been as follows:
