NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and pursuant
to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). These consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Goldbase and Patriot Canada. Collectively, they are referred to
herein as “the Company”. Inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company is subject to additional risks and
uncertainties due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The extent of the impact on the Company’s business is uncertain and difficult to predict,
as the response to the pandemic varies by jurisdiction. The Company considered the impact of COVID-19 on the assumptions and estimates
used and determined that there has been no material impact on the Company’s results of operations other than delays in exploration
activity and project assessments. The Company cannot reasonably estimate with any degree of certainty the future impact COVID-19 may have
on the Company’s results of operations, financial position and liquidity.
Management’s Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of the consolidated financial
statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires 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. Management believes that all applicable estimates and adjustments
are appropriate. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Going Concern
Management believes they will have sufficient
funds to support their business based on the following: (a) revenues derived from the Moss royalty, given the Moss Mine is now in production;
(b) the Company's marketable securities are relatively liquid; (c) current cash on hand is sufficient to cover estimated minimum operational
costs for the next 12 months.
Exploration and Development Costs
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. No costs have been
capitalized through September 30, 2021.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all investment 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. The
Company has no cash equivalents as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
Marketable Securities
Equity investments with readily determinable fair
values are measured at fair value. Equity investments without readily determinable fair values are measured using the equity method or
measured at costs with adjustments for observable changes in price or impairments (referred to as the measurement alternative). We currently
do not have investments without readily determinable fair values. We perform a qualitative assessment on a periodic basis and recognize
an impairment if there are sufficient indicators that the fair value of the investment is less than carrying value. Changes in value are
recorded in Other income (expense), net.
Royalties Receivables
Royalties Receivables consist of amounts due from
Golden Vertex related to the net smelter return royalty on the Moss Mine in Arizona (see Note 4). An allowance for uncollectible receivables
is based on historical collection trends and write-off history. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there was no allowance
recorded.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company’s functional currency and reporting
currency is the U.S. dollar. Monetary items denominated in foreign currency are translated to U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect
at the balance sheet date and non-monetary items are translated at rates in effect when the assets were acquired, or obligations incurred.
Revenue and expenses are translated at rates in effect at the time of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses are included
in the consolidated statements of operations.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company has no off-balance-sheet concentrations
of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, options contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements. Financial instruments that
potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash deposits. The Company maintains the majority
of its cash balances with two financial institutions in the form of demand deposits. Accounts at banks in the United States are insured
by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000, while accounts at banks in Canada are insured by the
Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation (“CDIC”) up to $100,000. At September 30, 2021, the Company had $1,136,249 and $0 in
excess of the FDIC and CDIC insured limits, respectively.
Income/Loss per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing
the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by
dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares plus dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the
period.
The following is a reconciliation of the number
of shares used in the calculation of basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share:

Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income consists of net income and
other gains and losses affecting shareholders’ equity that, under generally accepted accounting principles, are excluded from net
income. For the Company, such items consist primarily of foreign currency translation gains and losses.
Stock Options
The Company measures all employee stock-based
compensation awards using a fair value method on the date of grant and recognizes such expense in its consolidated financial statements
over the requisite service period. The Company uses the Black-Scholes pricing model to determine the fair value of stock-based compensation
awards on the date of grant. The Black-Scholes pricing model requires management to make assumptions regarding option lives, expected
volatility, and risk-free interest rates.
The Company accounts for non-employee stock-based
awards in accordance with the Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2018-07, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Under
this standard, the Company values all equity classified awards at their grant-date under ASC718.
The Company uses the Black-Scholes pricing model
to determine the fair value of stock-based compensation awards. The Black-Scholes pricing model requires management to make assumptions
regarding option lives, expected volatility, and risk-free interest rates.
Stock-based Compensation
The Company accounts for equity-based transactions
with nonemployees awards in accordance with the Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2018-07, Compensation—Stock Compensation
(Topic 718): ASU 2018-07 establishes that equity-based payment transactions with nonemployees shall be measured at the fair value
of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The fair value
of common stock issued for payments to nonemployees is measured at the market price on the date of grant. The fair value of equity instruments,
other than common stock, is estimated using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. In general, we recognize the fair value of the equity
instruments issued as deferred stock compensation and amortize the cost over the term of the contract.
The Company accounts for employee
stock-based compensation in accordance with the guidance of FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, which
requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial
statements based on their fair values. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation expense and
credited to additional paid-in capital over the period during which services are rendered.
The Company has granted Restricted Common Stock,
where the Restricted Common Stock is restricted for a period of three years following the date of grant. During the three-year period
the recipient may not sell or otherwise dispose of the shares. The Company has applied a discount for illiquidity to the price of the
Company’s stock when determining the amount of expense to be recorded for the Restricted Common Stock issuance. The discount for
illiquidity for the Restricted Common Stock was estimated on the date of grant by taking the average close price of the freely traded
common shares for the period in which the services were provided and applying an illiquidity discount of 10% for each multiple that the
total Restricted Common Stock is of the average daily volume for the period, to a maximum of 50%.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying value of the Company's financial
instruments, including prepaids, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 approximates their
fair values due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments. Management is of the opinion that the Company is not exposed
to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. The Company carries other company’s equity instruments
at fair value as required by U.S. GAAP, which are valued using level 1 inputs under the fair value hierarchy.
In general, investments with original maturities
of greater than 90 days and remaining maturities of less than one year are classified as short-term investments. Investments with maturities
beyond one year may also be classified as short-term based on their highly liquid nature and can be sold to fund current operations.
Fair Value Hierarchy
Fair value is defined within the accounting rules
as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants
at the measurement date. The rules established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure
fair value. As presented in the tables below, this hierarchy consists of three broad levels:
Level 1. Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
or liabilities.
Level 2. Observable inputs other than Level
1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions
(less active markets), or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or
corroborated with observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs also include non-binding
market consensus prices that can be corroborated with observable market data, as well as quoted prices that were adjusted for security-specific
restrictions.
Level 3. Unobservable inputs to the valuation
methodology are significant to the measurement of the fair value of assets or liabilities. These Level 3 inputs also include non-binding
market consensus prices or non-binding broker quotes that we were unable to corroborate with observable market data.
Assets measured at fair value on a recurring
basis by level within the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Revenue Recognition
The Company has adopted Financial Accounting Standards
Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”),
which provides a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. The Company
receives a royalty from Golden Vertex of 3% of net smelter returns (see Note 3) and recognizes revenue at the time minerals are produced
and sold at the Moss Mine. The Company’s revenue recognition policy standards include the following elements under ASU 606:
|
1.
|
Identify the contract with the customer. The contract with Golden Vertex is documented in the Purchase and Sale Agreement dated 5/12/16 and the Royalty Deed dated 5/25/16.
|
|
2.
|
Identify the performance obligations in the contract. The performance obligation in the contract required Patriot to relinquish its 30% interest in the Moss Mine. The Company conveyed all of its right, title and interest in those certain patented and unpatented lode mining claims situated in the Oatman Mining District, Mohave County, Arizona together with all extralateral and other associated rights, water rights, tenements, hereditaments and appurtenances belonging or appertaining thereto, and all rights-of-way, easements, rights of access and ingress to and egress from the claims appurtenant thereto, and in which the Company had any interest.
|
|
|
|
|
3.
|
Determine the transaction price. The transaction price was C$1,500,000 plus 3% of the Net Smelter Returns on the future production of the Moss Mine.
|
|
|
|
|
4.
|
Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract. The Company only has one performance obligation, the transfer of the rights to the Moss Mine, which has already been fulfilled.
|
|
|
|
|
5.
|
Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The C$1,500,000 was recognized as a sale of the mining rights in 2016, resulting in a gain from the disposition of the property. The 3% net smelter returns royalty are recognized as revenue in the period that Golden Vertex produces and sells minerals from the Moss Mine, which began in March 2018. The royalties that have been received to date have been highly variable, as the amounts are dependent upon the monthly production, the demand of the buyers, the spot price of gold and silver, the costs associated with refining and transporting the product, etc. As such, management has determined that the revenue recognition shall be treated as variable consideration as defined in ASC 606. Variable consideration should only be recognized to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Given the fact that royalties to date have been highly variable with a great degree of uncertainty, and any attempts to estimate future revenue would likely result in a significant reversal of revenue, royalty revenue will be recognized when payments and settlement statements are received from Golden Vertex, in the period for which the sales were made by Golden Vertex. It is at that time that any uncertainty related to royalty payments is resolved. The Company applied ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method applied to contracts not yet completed as of the date of adoption.
|
Related Party Transactions
A related party is generally defined as (i) any
person who holds 10% or more of the Company’s securities and their immediate families, (ii) the Company’s management, (iii)
an entity or person who directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the Company, or (iv) anyone
who can significantly influence the financial and operating decisions of the Company. A transaction is considered to be a related party
transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties.
Income Taxes
The Company follows ASC 740-10-30, which requires
recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial
statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are based on the differences between the financial statement
and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the fiscal year in which the differences are expected to
reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the
assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income
in the fiscal years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and
liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the Statements of Income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company adopted ASC 740-10-25 (“ASC
740-10-25”) with regard to uncertainty of income tax positions. ASC 740-10-25 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits
claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under ASC 740-10-25, we may recognize
the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination
by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements
from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate
settlement. ASC 740-10-25 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, and accounting
in interim periods and requires increased disclosures.
New Accounting Pronouncements
The
Company adopted ASU 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” effective January 1, 2021.
The pronouncement revises the methodology for measuring credit losses on financial instruments and the timing of when such losses are
recorded. There was no material impact on the consolidated financial statements as a result of the adoption of this standard.
The Company has implemented all new accounting
pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise
disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have
a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
NOTE 3 - MINERAL PROPERTIES
Vernal Property
The Vernal Property is located approximately 140
miles east-southeast of Reno, Nevada on the west side of the Shoshone Mountains. The Company holds the property via 12 unpatented mining
claims (approximately 248 acres). The Company has a 100% interest in the Vernal property, subject to an existing royalty. As of September
30, 2021, the Company has incurred approximately $89,616 of accumulated option and exploration expenses on the Vernal property. During
the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company incurred no exploration expenses on the Vernal property.
Moss Mine Property
In 2004, the Company obtained a 100% interest
in a number of patented and unpatented mining claims known as the Moss Mine property located in the Oatman Mining District of Mohave county
Arizona. In 2011, the Company entered into an Exploration and Option to Enter Joint Venture Agreement (the “Moss Agreement”),
with Idaho State Gold Company, LLC, (“ISGC”) whereby the Company granted the option and right to earn a vested seventy percent
(70%) interest in the property and the right and option to form a joint venture for the management and ownership of the properties called
the Moss Mine, Mohave County, Arizona. Subsequently, ISGC transferred its rights to Elevation Gold Mining Corporation (“Elevation”),
formerly known as Northern Vertex Mining Corp. In 2016, it was determined that Elevation had met the required conditions to earn an undivided
70% interest in the Moss Mine. As such, the Company entered into a material definitive Agreement for Purchase and Sale of Mining Claims
and Escrow Instructions (the “Purchase and Sale Agreement”) with Golden Vertex Corp., an Arizona corporation (“Golden
Vertex,” a wholly owned subsidiary of Elevation) whereby Golden Vertex agreed to purchase the Company’s remaining 30% working
interest in the Moss Mine for $1,155,600 (C$1,500,000) plus a 3% net smelter return royalty. See Note 4 for additional information regarding
the royalty from the Moss Mine.
Windy Peak Property
The Windy Peak Property, (“Windy Peak”)
consists of 114 unpatented mineral claims covering approximately 2,337 acres, 3 miles NNE of the Bell Mountain and 7 miles east of the
Fairview mining district in southwest Nevada. Annual maintenance fees paid to the Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) and recording
fees must be paid to the respective county on or before September 1 of each year to keep the claims in good standing, provided the filings
are kept current these claims can be kept in perpetuity. As of September 30, 2021, the company has incurred approximately $1,173,975 of
exploration expenses on the Windy Peak Property, and $357,047 and $124,056 were spent for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and
2020, respectively.
Rainbow Mountain Property
The Rainbow Mountain gold project consisted of
81 unpatented lode claims totaling approximately 1,620 contiguous acres, located approximately 23 km southeast of Fallon, in the state
of Nevada. In August, 2021, the Company relinquished these claims to the BLM and have completed the required reclamation work. As a result,
the Company has requested a refund of its reclamation deposit of $7,074 and anticipates receiving this refund once the BLM has inspected
and approved the reclamation work.
As of September 30, 2021, the company has incurred
approximately $383,776 of fees and exploration expenses on the Rainbow Mountain Property, and $154,419 and $13,194 were spent for the
nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
NOTE 4 – ROYALTY INTERESTS
Pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement with
Golden Vertex, the Company’s has a 3% net smelter return royalty on the Moss Mine in Arizona. For the nine months ended September
30, 2021 and 2020, the Company earned royalties of $1,340,652 and $1,734,325, respectively. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31,
2020, the Company had Royalties Receivables of $857,822 and $1,076,130, respectively.
Pursuant to the Bruner Purchase and Sale Agreement
with Canamex Resources dated April 25, 2017, the Company has a 2% net smelter return (“NSR”) royalty on the Bruner Gold/Silver
mine in Nevada, including any claims acquired within a two-mile area of interest around the existing claims. Canamex has the option to
buy-down half of the NSR royalty retained by Patriot for $5 million any time during a five-year period following closing of the purchase
and sale agreement. As of September 30, 2021, no royalties have yet been earned.
In March 2019, the Company purchased a Vanadium
Oxide royalty interest from a related party. In exchange for a non-refundable payment of $300,000, the Company will receive royalties
based on the gross production of Vanadium Oxide (“Vanadium”) from a bitumen deposit covering oil sands leases in the Cadotte
area of Peace River, Alberta. For each barrel of bitumen produced from the specified oil sands until March 21, 2039, or upon termination
of mining, whichever is earlier, the Company will be paid a royalty equal to 25 grams of Vanadium per barrel of bitumen produced, multiplied
by the price of Vanadium Pentoxide 98% min in-warehouse Rotterdam published on the last business day of the month in which the gross production
of bitumen occurred. While management believes the royalty interest continues to have value, there is no defined timeline to begin production
of Vanadium and as such, as of September 30, 2021, the Company has fully impaired the royalty asset.
NOTE 5 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In the ordinary course of business, we may be
exposed to claims and threatened litigation, and use various methods to resolve these matters in a manner that we believe serves the best
interest of our shareholders and other constituents. When a loss is probable, we disclose the amount of probable loss, or disclose a range
of reasonably possible losses if they are material and we are able to estimate such a range. If we cannot provide an estimate, we explain
the factors that prevent us from doing so. We believe the recorded reserves in our consolidated financial statements are adequate in light
of the probable and estimable liabilities. We do not presently believe that any claims or litigation will be material to our results of
operations, cash flows, or financial condition.
NOTE 6 - STOCK OPTIONS
The Company’s Board of Directors adopted
the 2019 Stock Option Plan (the “2019 Plan”) in July 2019, the 2014 Stock Option Plan (the “2014 Plan”) in June
2014, the 2012 Stock Option Plan (the “2012 Plan”) in July 2012 and the 2005 Stock Option Plan (the “2005 Plan”)
in November 2005. There were no compensation costs charged against those plans for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020,
respectively.
The 2019 Plan, the 2014 Plan, the 2012 Plan and
the 2005 Plan reserve and make available for grant common stock shares of up to 9,500,000, 5,000,000, 3,900,000 and 2,000,000, respectively.
In November 2015, the 2005 Stock Option Plan expired so that no share may be granted pursuant to this Plan. No option can be granted under
the plans 10 years after the plan inception date.
Options granted to officers or employees under
the plans may be incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options. Options granted to directors, consultants, and independent contractors
are limited to non-qualified stock options.
The plans are administered by the Board of Directors,
or a committee designated by the Board of Directors. Subject to specified limitations, the Board of Directors or the Committee has full
authority to grant options and establish the terms and conditions for vesting and exercise thereof. However, the aggregate fair market
value (determined at the time the option is granted) of the shares with respect to which incentive stock options are exercisable for the
first time by an optionee during any calendar year cannot exceed $100,000.
Options granted pursuant to the plans are exercisable
no later than ten years after the date of grant. The exercise price per share of common stock for options granted shall be determined
by the Board of Directors or the designated committee, except for incentive stock options granted to a holder of ten percent or more of
Patriot's common stock, for whom the exercise price per share will not be less than 110% of the fair market value.
As of September 30, 2021, there were 9,500,000,
185,000 and 155,000 shares available for grant under the 2019 Plan, 2014 Plan and 2012 Stock Option Plan, respectively.
Stock Option Activity
The fair value of each stock option is estimated
at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. No options were granted in the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
Assumptions regarding volatility, expected term, dividend yield and risk-free interest rate are required for the Black-Scholes model.
The volatility assumption is based on the Company’s historical experience. The risk-free interest rate is based on a U.S. treasury
note with a maturity similar to the option award’s expected life. The expected life represents the average period of time that
options granted are expected to be outstanding. The assumptions for volatility, expected life, dividend yield and risk-free interest
rate are presented in the table below:

NOTE 7 - COMMON STOCK
The Company may issue up to 400,000,000 shares
of $.001 par value common stock. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had 74,380,354 of common shares outstanding. Some of these outstanding
shares were granted as payment for services provided to the Company and are restricted. The restricted
common stock is restricted for a period of three years following the date of grant. During the three-year period the recipient may not
sell or otherwise dispose of the shares. The Company has applied a discount for illiquidity to the price of the Company’s
stock when determining the amount of expense to be recorded for the Restricted Common Stock issuance. The discount for illiquidity for
the Restricted Common Stock was estimated on the date of grant by taking the average close price of the freely traded common shares for
the period in which the services were provided and applying an illiquidity discount of 10% for each multiple that the total Restricted
Common Stock is of the average daily volume for the period, to a maximum of 50%.
During 2020, 320,000 warrants were exercised for
$22,400 and are included in common shares to be issued at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
