Profile and Strategy

Allegiant was incorporated on September 26, 2017 under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada. The Company was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Columbus Gold Corp. ("Columbus Gold"), a Toronto Stock Exchange listed company, until January 25, 2018, when it was spun-out of Columbus Gold by way of a plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement") as a separate entity. The Company obtained its initial listing on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") on January 30, 2018. The common shares of the Company are also listed on the OTCQX effective February 26, 2018.

On October 1, 2017, the Company acquired Allegiant Gold Holding Ltd. ("AGHL") from Columbus Gold, which indirectly held all of Columbus Gold's exploration and evaluation assets located in the USA.

The Company's head office and principal address is located at 1090 Hamilton Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6B 2R9, Canada.

The Company's principal business activities are the acquisition, exploration and development of resource properties, with gold as a principal focus. The Company is in the process of exploring and developing its resource properties but has not yet determined whether the properties contain ore reserves that are economically recoverable. The Company maintains active generative (prospecting) and evaluation programs and, as a key element of its strategy, broadens exposure, diversifies funding sources and minimizes risk through joint ventures on selected projects.

The Company's financial condition is affected by general market conditions and conditions specific to the mining industry. These conditions include, but are not limited to, the price of gold and accessibility of debt or equity financing.

Eastside

The Eastside project is located approximately 32 km west of Tonopah, Nevada. The Company holds a 100% interest in Eastside, subject to underlying royalties.

On January 27, 2020, the Company announced an updated Inferred Resource Estimate for the Eastside gold project in Nevada. The updated resource estimate ("Updated Resource Estimate and NI 43-101 Technical Report, Eastside and Castle Gold-Silver Project Technical Report, Esmeralda County, Nevada") was conducted by Mine Development Associates ("MDA") of Reno, Nevada with an effective date of December 30, 2019. Contained pit-constrained Inferred Resources of 996,000 Au ounces and 7,838,000 Ag ounces were calculated in accordance with NI 43-101. The MDA Technical Report was subsequently revised, dated November 20, 2020, and was filed on SEDAR. This report builds on and supersedes the NI 43-101 reports of Ristorcelli (December 2016) and Ristorcelli (July 2017) titled "Resource Estimate and Technical Report, Eastside Gold-Silver Project, Esmeralda County, Nevada" prepared for Allegiant with an Effective Date of July 25, 2017.

A copy of the Eastside Technical Report can be found on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Preliminary metallurgical studies conducted by Kappes, Cassiday and Associates, in Reno, Nevada, indicate the mineralization is amenable to recovery by cyanidation. Heap-leach extractions are expected to be around 70% and 20% for gold and silver, respectively, but likely would require crushing. Milling with a fine grind is expected to result in extractions over 90% for gold and approximately 50% silver.

Allegiant Gold Ltd. Management's Discussion and Analysis Six Month Period Ended March 31, 2021 (Expressed Canadian Dollars)

Ongoing field work at Eastside has generated a significant number of new targets from both geologic and alteration mapping, combined with geochemical sampling. Allegiant has determined that the Original Zone, Targets 1, 2, and 6, are actually part of a large and continuous zone or cell of hydrothermal alteration, which extends for 5.5 km north and south, and is about 1-2 km wide. The Original Zone, where essentially all drilling has occurred to date, lies completely within this large cell of hydrothermal alteration. The cell provides abundant drill targets for future drilling. In addition, geochemical targets exist at Targets 3, 5, and 7. Further, the east flank on the Allegiant claim block is "pediment" in nature, where only a few small bedrock exposures are present and rocks are mostly covered with a thin veneer (10-20 m) of alluvium. As announced back in December 2019, the Board, as part of its 2020 Exploration Budget, has approved an expansion of the permitted operating zone from the current 601 acres to approximately 3,600 acres in order to better understand and target these additional areas that warrant further exploration.

In April 2021, the Company completed 49 exploration reverse circulation ("RC") drill holes, totalling 5,850 metres, drilled in the Castle zone around the former-producing Boss pit, located within the Eastside gold project. The shallow at-surface mineralization at the Castle zone is important for the Eastside project for the following reasons:

  • Potential increase in contained ounces;
  • Potential for reasonably low strip-ratio mining;
  • Potential starter pit for a potential future Eastside mine.

The drilling encountered very shallow gold mineralization best described as a blanket-like zone that commences at an approximate depth of between zero and 30 metres and consistently continues for 20 to 40 metres in thickness. Gold is hosted in Tertiary andesite and rhyolite tuff, associated with quartz stockworks, iron oxides along fractures, argillization and, occasionally, massive silicification. The Tertiary volcanic rocks overlie Paleozoic rocks of the Palmetto formation, which were encountered at depth in nearly all the drill holes. Drill intercepts (using a 0.1-gram-per-tonne-gold cut-off) for the 49 holes. Most of the holes were angle holes drilled in a variety of directions at 45 degrees. Essentially all of the mineralization in drilling is deemed as oxide visually.

Forty-seven holes encountered mineralization within 45 metres of surface. Some of the highlights include:

  • 5 metres of 1.85 grams per tonne from hole ES-196;
  • 14 metres of 1.08 grams per tonne from hole ES-202;
  • 4.5 metres of 2.32 grams per tonne from hole ES-211;
  • 3.6 metres of 2.00 grams per tonne from hole ES-216;
  • 1.5 metres of 3.86 grams per tonne from hole ES-222.

In May 2021, the Company announced that it has found high-grade gold intercepts in the Original Pit zone. Gold and silver at the Original Pit zone is hosted mainly in young rhyolite domes and dikes (7.2 MYBP) cutting through andesite flows and lahar, lacustrine tuffs, and rhyodacite flows and plugs. Approximately 85% of the drilled gold intercepts are hosted in rhyolite. Important alteration includes multiple generations of quartz in stock works, replacement illite, adularia (both as flooding and in veins), and a variety of iron oxides mostly filling fractures. The domes at the Original Pit are the northernmost two of a highly prospective dome field, elongated north-to-south, and measuring 10 kilometres by two km. The dome field contains 41 separate domes and is entirely covered by Allegiant's claim block. Higher grade intercepts in drill hole 243 appear to be associated with stronger quartz veining than usual. Future work programs in the Original Pit zone will focus on defining the extent of this high-grade zone to better understand the implications on resource growth and mine planning and economics.

Highlights of the nine-hole (3,673 metres) RC drill program include:

  • Hole 243 included 2.55 g/t gold over 147.8 metres (3.17 g/t Au over 117.3 m);
  • Hole 243 is the best drill intercept to date at the Eastside project;
  • Hole 243 was a 100 metre step-out from the closest hole in the Original Pit and is open west, east and south;
  • Hole 243 is well within an open pit modelling scenario;
  • Significant silver intercepts in holes 243 and 239;
  • Strong gold intercepts in holes 239, 243, 244 and 245;
  • Mineralization encountered in seven of nine holes;
  • Eastside remains open in all directions and at depth in both the Original Pit zone and the Castle zone.

Allegiant has drilled over 210 holes over the past eight years in building a one million ounce gold inferred resource. Over 284 metres of the 428 metres drilled were mineralized in hole 243 and, utilizing a 0.10 g/t Au cut-off, the hole delivered 2.55 g/t Au over 147.8 metres (3.17 g/t Au over 117.3 m using a 0.20 g/t Au cut-off) commencing from a depth of 172 metres. Further significant gold mineralization was encountered in Holes 239, 244 and 245 including the following highlights:

  • Hole 239 -- 111.3 metres of 1.45 g/t Au including 3.1 metres of 39 g/t at the bottom of the hole;
  • Hole 244 -- 76 metres of hole is mineralized with best intercept being 6.1 metres of 1.48 g/t Au at 375 metres at depth;
  • Hole 245 – 15.2 metres of 3.4 g/t Au from relatively shallow depths commencing at 177 metres at depth

Silver intercepts were also encountered during this most recent drilling program. Using a 10 g/t Ag cut-off, hole 239 encountered 6.1 metres of 113.35 g/t Ag at the bottom of the hole leading the company to believe that it remains open at depth. In hole 243, an intercept of 93.3 g/t Ag over 44.2 metres commencing at 184 metres at depth. Other silver intercepts were found in hole 241 and hole 244. The Original Pit zone at Eastside hosts approximately 7,800,000 ounces of silver per the most recent 43-101-compliant resource estimate dated January, 2020. Allegiant continues to believe that there remains upside potential to discover additional silver, though gold continues to be the primary mineralization.

Bolo

The Bolo project is located approximately 60 km northeast of Tonopah, Nevada. The Company holds a 100% interest in Bolo, subject to underlying royalties.

On June 27, 2018, the Company entered into an agreement with New Placer Dome Gold Corp. ("NGLD") (formerly Barrian Mining Corp.), under which NGLD may acquire up to a 50.01% undivided interest in Bolo by issuing common shares of NGLD to the Company, with an aggregate value of $1,310,000 (US$1,000,000) over a three year period, and also incurring certain exploration and evaluation expenditures on Bolo with a minimum aggregate value of $5,240,000 (US$4,000,000) by December 31, 2022. On April 24, 2019, the Company received 1,672,750 shares of NGLD, representing an initial $334,550 (US$250,000) option payment. On January 29, 2020, the Company received 2,059,219 common shares of NGLD, based on a volume weighted average price, representing the first anniversary $270,077 (US$250,000) share option payment. On December 23, 2020, the Company received 1,170,483 common shares of NGLD, based on a volume weighted average price, representing the second anniversary $351,145 (US$250,000) share option payment

NGLD may acquire an additional 24.99% interest in Bolo by incurring an additional $5,240,000 (US$4,000,000) in certain exploration and evaluation expenditures on Bolo within two years of acquiring the initial 50.01% interest in Bolo. If NGLD does not acquire the additional 24.99% interest, then NGLD will transfer a 0.02% interest in Bolo back to the Company.

During September 2019, NGLD completed a 10-hole reverse circulation drill program for a total of 1,838 metres. Seven of the drill holes, totalling 1,338 metres, were completed at the South mine fault zone, testing the extent of mineralization down dip and along strike. Previous RC drill intercepts at the South mine fault area include drill hole BL-38 that graded 3.24 grams per tonne (g/t) gold over 30.5 metres within a broader zone of mineralization averaging 1.28 g/t gold over 133 metres.* One drill hole, totalling 177 metres, was completed between the South mine fault zone and Northern extension zone, testing both the continuity of mineralization along strike between the known zones, and a linear conductive anomaly identified by the 2019 induced polarization and resistivity geophysical survey. Two drill holes, totalling 323 metres, were completed at the historical Uncle Sam patented claim which has yielded high-grade silver plus gold channel rock chip samples including 3,146 g/t silver and 1.0 g/t gold over 2.6 metres, and 365 g/t silver and 1.9 g/t gold over 3.6 metres.** Uncle Sam hosts high-grade silver plus gold mineralization at surface and in drill samples, and is the site of historical (circa 1880s) mine workings.

* The true width of mineralization is estimated to be approximately 50 per cent of drilled width.

** The true width of mineralization at Uncle Sam is unknown. For full descriptions of the Bolo property mineralized intercepts see: "Technical Report on the Bolo Property, Nye County, Nevada, USA" effective date Oct. 5, 2018, available at SEDAR

On July 23, 2020, NGLD announced the commencement of its 2020 summer drilling program at Bolo. In October 2020, the results from five reverse circulation ("RC") drill holes were released and stated that they have intersected significant oxide gold mineralization and expanded gold mineralization to depth. The South Mine fault zone remains open and has seven additional expansion drilling holes awaiting laboratory assay results.

Browns Canyon

The Browns Canyon project is 100% owned by Allegiant and is located approximately 19 km southwest of Eureka, Nevada.

On December 13, 2018, the Company announced the completion of drilling at Browns Canyon (North Brown) and corresponding results announced on January 28, 2019. A total of 2,036 metres of rotary drilling in 11 holes were completed, and results were announced on January 28, 2019. There were no reportable gold intercepts from any of the holes, however, there are excellent grade gold samples (from nil up to 9 g/t gold) at the North Brown gold anomaly which are in angular, altered fragments, up to 0.3 metres in diameter, in a carbonate breccia horizon in the Devonian sequence. The Company believes the mineralized fragments in the breccia are transported along a flat fault from a local source near the North Brown anomaly. Additional field additional geophysical work may discover the source of the mineralized breccia fragments.

Four Metals

On April 19, 2018 the Company and MinQuest Ltd. entered into an option agreement with Arizona Standard (US) Corp. (the "Four Metals Optionee") and Barksdale Capital Corp. ("Barksdale") granting the Four Metals Optionee an option to acquire a 100% interest in the Four Metals project located in Santa Cruz County, Arizona. The Four Metals Optionee is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Barksdale. The common shares of Barksdale are listed for trading on the TSXV. The Company and MinQuest Ltd. each own a 50% interest in 16 unpatented lode mining claims that, in addition to 24 unpatented lode mining claims that are 100% owned by the Company, comprise the Four Metals project. The option agreement requires the Four Metals Optionee to pay $294,750 (US$225,000) in staged payments over a five-year period. In addition, Barksdale will issue common shares with a total value of $294,750 (US$225,000) in staged issuances over the same five-year period. The cash payments and share issuances are shared equally with MinQuest Ltd. so that the Company will receive 50% of the cash and share payments.

On April 21, 2020, the Company received cash of $17,316 (US$12,500) (2019 – $16,670) and 68,493 (2019 - 33,016) common shares of Barksdale, with a fair value of $15,753 (US$12,500) (2019 - $16,838).

Hughes Canyon

The Hughes Canyon project is located approximately 48 km east-southeast of Lovelock, Nevada.

On January 17, 2019, the Company announced the completion of drilling at Hughes Canyon, with 12 rotary drill holes totalling 2,139 metres. Hydrothermal alteration was encountered in 10 of the 12 holes in several different stratigraphic units in a faulted and folded Mesozoic sedimentary package. Gold and silver values above 0.10 g/t gold encountered in the drilling are available in the Company's news release dated January 17, 2019, available on the Company's website at www.allegiantgold.com.

Effective January 18, 2019, the Company dropped and returned Hughes Canyon to the lessor.

Mogollon

On June 19, 2018, the Company entered into an agreement with NGLD, granting NGLD an option to acquire a 100% interest in Mogollon by issuing common shares of NGLD with an aggregate value of $1,310,000 (US$1,000,000) over an approximate three-year period. On April 24, 2019, the Company received 1,672,750 shares of NGLD, representing an initial $334,550 (US$250,000) option payment. On January 29, 2020, the Company received 2,059,219 common shares of NGLD, based on a volume weighted average price, representing the first anniversary $270,077 (US$250,000) share option payment.

In May 2020, Mogollon was returned back to Allegiant by NGLD.

On August 21, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement with Summa Silver Corp. ("Summa") wherein Summa can acquire a 75% interest in the Mogollon silver property in exchange for an initial cash payment of US$50,000 and the issuance of 200,000 common shares of Summa, subsequent cash and share payments valued at US$2,750,000 and by incurring exploration expenditures totalling US$3,000,000 over a period of three years. Summa can further acquire the remaining 25% interest in Mogollon by paying the Company an additional US$3,000,000 in either cash or common shares of Summa.

On August 26, 2020, the Company received a cash payment of $65,826 (US$50,000) and 200,000 common shares of Summa, with a fair value of $424,000.

Monitor Hills

The Monitor Hills project was owned 100% by Allegiant and is located approximately 35 km east-southeast of Tonopah, Nevada.

On April 17, 2019 the Company announced the receipt of assays from recent drilling carried-out at Monitor Hills which encountered broad zones of anomalous gold but better grade gold was only present in narrow 1.5 to 3 metre intervals. Overall, the drilling results are considered too low-grade, and in the context of prioritizing expenditures on the Company's large portfolio of prospective exploration properties, the Company abandoned the Monitor Hills project in the 2019 fiscal year.

Clanton Hills

The Clanton Hills project is located approximately 80 km west of Phoenix, Arizona.

The Company holds a 100% interest in Clanton Hills, subject to underlying royalties. On August 31, 2020, the Company entered into an option agreement with Supernova Metals Corp ("Supernova"), a corporation that shares an officer in common with the Company, granting Supernova an option to acquire a 50.1% interest in the Clanton Hills silver property. o acquire its interest Supernova is required to pay US$550,000 in cash, issue 2,000,000 common shares (received) and incur US$1,500,000 in exploration expenditures prior to September 15, 2023.

In December 2020, Supernova completed a five hole reverse circulation drill program totaling 1,000 metres. No significant assays were encountered. In March 2021, Supernova elected not to proceed with the Clanton Hills option agreement and returned the property to the Company.

Other Projects

The Company's remaining projects, which are inclusive of Goldfield West, Overland Pass, White Horse Flats and White Horse North, are all considered to be highly prospective and the Company is focused on optioning them to quality partners for future development.

Review of Financial Results – Quarter

The Company didn't generate any revenue during the three month period ended March 31, 2021 ("Current Quarter") or the three month period ended March 31, 2020 ("Prior Year Quarter").

During the Current Quarter, the Company reported a net loss of $682,864 which was a significant decline from the Prior Year Quarter which recorded income of $19,132. The primary reason for the decrease was an unrealized loss in the value of short-term investments in the Current Quarter. In addition, the Company received $272,672 in option proceeds in the Prior Year Quarter which help reduce its loss.

Review of Financial Results – YTD

The Company didn't generate any revenue during the six month period ended March 31, 2021 ("Current Period") or the six month period ended March 31, 2020 ("Prior Year Period").

During the Current Period, the Company reported a net loss of $802,979 which was a significant decline from the Prior Year Period loss of $352,380. The primary reason for the decrease was an unrealized loss in the value of short-term investments in the Current Quarter. In addition, the Company received $272,672 in option proceeds in the Prior Year Quarter which help reduce its loss. These amounts were partially offset, however, by the recognition of a gain on the extinguishment of the Orea Grid Note totaling $486,211.

Subsequent Event

Subsequent to March 31, 2021, the Company received $25,000 in share subscriptions owing from the CEO of the Company.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company does not currently own or have an interest in any producing resource properties and does not derive any revenues from operations. The Company's activities have been funded primarily through private placements of the Company's common shares. The Company has been successful in its fundraising efforts in the past, but there can be no assurance that the Company will continue to be successful in the future. If such funds are not available or other sources of finance cannot be obtained, then the Company will be required to curtail its activities to a level for which funding is available and can be obtained. The Company's ability to access funding is also contingent on the ongoing demand for commodities and also a function of the demand for gold, both of which are subject to macroeconomic conditions and market fluctuations.

As at March 31, 2021, the Company had working capital of $1,330,300 compared to $3,368,533 at September 30, 2020. Working capital decreased primarily as a result of exploration expenditures incurred in the period.

As at March 31, 2021, the Company had current liabilities of $299,785 and non-current liabilities of $346,907. In October 2020, the Company issued 3,201,766 common shares in settlement of the Grid Note liability totaling 1,604,405 owing to Orea Mining Corp.("Orea"). The result of this transaction has greatly reduced the Company's debts from September 30, 2020, and management is confident that it can meet its working capital requirements and obligations as they come due.

Commitments and Related Party Transactions

As at September 30, 2020, the Company had a principal balance of $1,604,405 (September 30, 2019 - $1,604,405) owing to Orea (the "Grid Note") originally due on March 1, 2019. On March 5, 2019, the Company issued 1,000,000 common shares (the "Extension Shares") of Allegiant in exchange for extending the due date to December 31, 2020. The fair value of the Extension Shares was $190,000 at the time of issuance.

As the Grid Note was initially a non-current liability, the Company discounted the Grid Note with a 20% annual discount rate, resulting in a discount of $213,639 allocated to the reserves account. Upon issuing the Extension Shares, the Grid Note was recognized as a new financial liability and the fair value of the Extension Shares was expensed. The Company discounted newly issued Grid Note with a 15% annual discount rate, resulting in a discount of $383,665 allocated to the reserves account. In October 2020, the Company issued 3,201,766 common shares to settle the balance of the Grid Note and recorded a gain extinguishment of Grid Note of $486,211.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the Company's financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions are continuously evaluated and are based on management's experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual outcomes can differ from these estimates.

The following areas required a significant degree of estimation and judgment:

Recoverability of exploration and evaluation assets

he application of the Company's accounting policy for exploration and evaluation expenditures requires judgment to determine whether future economic benefits are likely, from either future exploitation or sale, or whether activities have not reached a stage that permits a reasonable assessment of the existence of reserves.

Share-based payments

The fair value of stock options issued are subject to the limitation of the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which incorporates market data and involves uncertainty in estimates used by management in the assumptions. The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the volatility of share prices, and, as a result, changes in subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate.

Decommissioning provisions

Restoration costs will be incurred by the Company in connection with certain exploration activities conducted on exploration and evaluation assets. The Company estimates abandonment and reclamation costs based on a combination of publicly available industry benchmarks and internal site-specific information. The ultimate restoration liability is uncertain and can vary in response to many factors including changes to relevant legal requirements, the emergence of new restoration techniques, experience at other sites, or changes in the risk-free discount rate. The expected timing and amount of expenditure can also change in response to changes in laws and regulations or their interpretation. As a result, there could be significant adjustments to the provisions established which would affect future financial results.

Functional currency

The functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates and has been determined for each entity within the Company. The functional currencies are as follows:

Financial Instruments

The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, short-term investments, receivables, reclamation bonds, accounts payable, and the CEBA loan.

Classification

On initial recognition, the Company classifies its financial instruments in the following categories: at ("FVTPL"), at fair value through other comprehensive income (loss) ("FVTOCI") or at amortized cost.

A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as FVTPL:

  • it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and
  • its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

A debt investment is measured at FVTOCI if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as FVTPL:

  • it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and
  • its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

An equity investment that is held for trading is measured at FVTPL. For other equity investments that are not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably elect to designate them as FVTOCI. This election is made on an investment-by-investment basis.

All financial assets not classified or measured at amortized cost or FVTOCI as described above are measured at FVTPL. This includes all derivative financial assets. On initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortized cost or at FVTOCI as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.

Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost, unless they are required to be measured at FVTPL (such as instruments held for trading or derivatives) or the Company has elected to measure them at FVTPL.

Measurement

Financial assets at FVTOCI

Elected investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs. Subsequently they are measured at fair value, with gains and losses recognized in other comprehensive income (loss).

Financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost

Financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost are initially recognized at fair value plus or minus transaction costs, respectively, and subsequently carried at amortized cost less any impairment.

Financial assets and liabilities at FVTPL

Financial assets and liabilities carried at FVTPL are initially recorded at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in profit or loss. Realized and unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the financial assets and liabilities held at FVTPL are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. Where management has opted to recognize a financial liability at FVTPL, any changes associated with the Company's own credit risk will be recognized in other comprehensive income (loss).

Impairment of financial assets at amortized cost

The Company recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets that are measured at amortized cost. At each reporting date, the Company measures the loss allowance for the financial asset at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on the financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition. If at the reporting date, the financial asset has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company measures the loss allowance for the financial asset at an amount equal to the twelve month expected credit losses. The Company shall recognize in profit or loss, as an impairment gain or loss, the amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recognized.

Derecognition

Financial assets

The Company derecognizes financial assets only when the contractual rights to cash flows from the financial assets expire, or when it transfers the financial assets and substantially all of the associated risks and rewards of ownership to another entity. Gains and losses on derecognition are generally recognized in profit or loss. However, gains and losses on derecognition of financial assets classified as FVTOCI remain within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

Financial liabilities

The Company derecognizes financial liabilities only when its obligations under the financial liabilities are discharged, cancelled or expired. Generally, the difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid and payable, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss.

Risks and Uncertainties

Prior to making an investment decision, investors should consider the investment risks set out below and those described elsewhere in this document, which are in addition to the usual risks associated with an investment in a business at an early stage of development. The directors of the Company consider the risks set out below to be the most significant to potential investors in the Company, but do not represent all of the risks associated with an investment in securities of the Company. If any of these risks materialize into actual events or circumstances or other possible additional risks and uncertainties of which the Directors are currently unaware or which they consider not to be material in relation to the Company's business, actually occur, the Company's assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations (including future results of operations), business and business prospects are likely to be materially and adversely affected. Exploration, development and production risks

An investment in the Company's shares is speculative due to the nature of the Company's involvement in the evaluation, acquisition, exploration and, if warranted, development and production of minerals. Mineral exploration involves a high degree of risk and there is no assurance that expenditures made on future exploration by the Company will result in new discoveries in commercial quantities.

While the Company has a limited number of specific identified exploration or development prospects, management will continue to evaluate prospects on an ongoing basis in a manner consistent with industry standards. The long-term commercial success of the Company depends on its ability to find, acquire, develop and commercially produce reserves. No assurance can be given that the Company will be able to locate satisfactory properties for acquisition or participation. Moreover, if such acquisitions or participations are identified, the Company may determine that current markets, terms of acquisition and participation or pricing conditions make such acquisitions or participations uneconomic. The Company has no earnings record, no reserves and no producing resource properties.

The Company's resource projects are in the exploration stage. Resource exploration, development, and operations are highly speculative, characterized by a number of significant risks, which even a combination of careful evaluation, experience and knowledge will not eliminate. Few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. Unusual or unexpected formations, formation pressures, fires, power outages, labour disruptions, flooding, explosions, cave-ins, landslides and the inability to obtain suitable or adequate machinery, equipment or labour are other risks involved in the operation of mines and the conduct of exploration programs. The Company must rely upon consultants and contractors for exploration, development, construction and operating expertise. Substantial expenditures are required to establish mineral resources and mineral reserves through drilling, to develop metallurgical processes to extract the metal from mineral resources and, in the case of new properties, to develop the mining and processing facilities and infrastructure at any site chosen for mining.

There is no assurance that surface rights agreements that may be necessary for future operations will be obtained when needed, on reasonable terms, or at all, which could adversely affect the business of the Company.

No assurance can be given that minerals will be discovered in sufficient quantities at any of the Company's mineral projects to justify commercial operations or that funds required for additional exploration or development will be obtained on a timely basis. Whether a mineral deposit will be commercially viable depends on a number of factors, some of which are: the particular attributes of the deposit, such as size, grade and proximity to infrastructure; metal prices which are highly cyclical; the proximity and capacity of milling facilities; and government regulations, including regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection. The exact effect of these factors cannot accurately be predicted, but the combination of these factors may result in the Company not receiving an adequate return on invested capital.

Additional Funding Requirements

From time to time, the Company will require additional financing in order to carry out its acquisition, exploration and development activities. Failure to obtain such financing on a timely basis could cause the Company to forfeit its interest in certain properties, miss certain acquisition opportunities, delay or indefinitely postpone further exploration and development of its projects with the possible loss of such properties, and reduce or terminate its operations. If the Company's cash flow from operations is not sufficient to satisfy its capital expenditure requirements, there can be no assurance that additional debt or equity financing will be available to meet these requirements or be available on favorable terms.

Prices, Markets and Marketing of Natural Resources

Gold is a commodity whose price is determined based on world demand, supply and other factors, all of which are beyond the control of the Company. World prices for gold have fluctuated widely in recent years. The marketability and price of natural resources which may be acquired or discovered by the Company will be affected by numerous factors beyond its control. The Company has limited direct experience in the marketing of gold.

Government regulations, including regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, importing and exporting of natural resources and environmental protection are all factors which may affect the marketability and price of natural resources. The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but any one or a combination of these factors could result in the Company not receiving an adequate return on investment for shareholders.

Dilution

In order to finance future operations and development efforts, the Company may raise funds through the issue of shares or securities convertible into shares. The constating documents of the Company allow it to issue, among other things, an unlimited number of shares for such consideration and on such terms and conditions as may be established by the directors of the Company, in many cases, without the approval of shareholders. The Company cannot predict the size of future issues of shares or securities convertible into shares or the effect, if any, that future issues and sales of shares will have on the price of the shares. Any transaction involving the issue of previously authorized but unissued shares or securities convertible into shares would result in dilution, possibly substantial, to present and prospective shareholders of the Company.

Environmental Risks

All phases of the natural resources business present environmental risks and hazards and are subject to environmental regulation pursuant to a variety of international conventions, and national, state and municipal laws and regulations. Environmental legislation provides for, among other things, restrictions and prohibitions on spills, releases or emissions of various substances produced in association with operations. The legislation also requires that facility sites and mines be operated, maintained, abandoned and reclaimed to the satisfaction of applicable regulatory authorities. Compliance with such legislation can require significant expenditures and a breach may result in the imposition of fines and penalties, some of which may be material. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner expected to result in stricter standards and enforcement, larger fines and liability and potentially increased capital expenditures and operating costs. The discharge of tailings or other pollutants into the air, soil or water may give rise to liabilities to foreign governments and third parties and may require the Company to incur costs to remedy such discharge. No assurance can be given that environmental laws will not result in a curtailment of production or a material increase in the costs of production, development or exploration activities or otherwise adversely affect the Company's financial condition, results of operations or prospects.

Companies engaged in the exploration and development of mineral properties generally experience increased costs, and delays as a result of the need to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permits. The Company believes it is in substantial compliance with all material laws and regulations which currently apply to its activities.

Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions thereunder, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing operations to cease or be curtailed and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment, or remedial actions. Parties engaged in natural resource exploration and development activities may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of its activities and may have civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed for violations of applicable laws or regulations and, in particular, environmental laws.

Amendments to current laws, regulations and permits governing operations and activities of natural resources companies, or more stringent implementation thereof, could have a material adverse impact on the Company and cause increases in capital expenditures or production costs or reduction in levels of production at producing properties or require abandonment or delays in developments of new properties.

Reliance on Operators and Key Employees

The success of the Company will be largely dependent upon the performance of its management and key employees. The Company does not have any key man insurance policies and therefore there is a risk that the death or departure of any member of management or any key employee could have a material adverse effect on the Company. In assessing the risk of an investment in the Company's shares, potential investors should realize that they are relying on the experience, judgment, discretion, integrity and good faith of the management of the Company. An investment in the Company's shares is suitable only for those investors who are willing to risk a loss of their entire investment and who can afford to lose their entire investment.

Regulatory Requirements

Mining operations, development and exploration activities are subject to extensive laws and regulations governing prospecting, development, production, exports, taxes, labour standards, occupational health, waste disposal, environmental protection and remediation, protection of endangered and protected species, mine safety, toxic substances and other matters. Changes in these regulations or in their application are beyond the control of the Company and could adversely affect its operations, business and results of operations.

Government approvals and permits are currently, and may in the future be, required in connection with the mineral projects in which the Company has an interest. To the extent such approvals are required and not obtained, the Company may be restricted or prohibited from proceeding with planned exploration or development activities. Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions thereunder, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing operations to cease or be curtailed, and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment, or remedial actions. Parties engaged in mining operations may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of the mining activities and may be liable for civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed for violations of applicable laws or regulations. Amendments to current laws, regulations and permitting requirements, or more stringent application of existing laws, could have a material adverse impact on the Company and cause increases in capital expenditures or production costs or reductions in levels of production at producing properties or require abandonment or delays in development of properties.

Title Matters

Although title to the properties has been reviewed by the Company, formal title opinions have not been obtained by the Company for most of its mineral properties and, consequently, no assurances can be given that there are no title defects affecting such properties and that such title will not be challenged or impaired. The acquisition of title to resource properties is a very detailed and time-consuming process. Title to, and the area of, resource claims may be disputed. There may be valid challenges to the title of any of the mineral properties in which the Company holds an interest that, if successful, could impair development and/or operations thereof. A defect could result in the Company losing all or a portion of its right, title, estate and interest in and to the properties to which the title defect relates.

Any of the mineral properties in which the Company holds an interest may be subject to prior unregistered liens, agreements or transfers or other undetected title defects. There is no guarantee that title to the properties will not be challenged or impugned. The Company is satisfied, however, that evidence of title to each of the properties is adequate and acceptable by prevailing industry standards.

Enforcement of Civil Liabilities

Certain of the Company's directors and certain of the experts named herein reside outside of Canada and, similarly, a majority of the assets of the Company are located outside of Canada. It may not be possible for investors to effect service of process within Canada upon the directors and experts not residing in Canada. It may also not be possible to enforce against the Company and certain of its directors and experts named herein judgements obtained in Canadian courts predicated upon the civil liability provisions of applicable securities laws in Canada.

Permits and Licenses

The operations of the Company will require licenses and permits from various governmental authorities. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain all necessary licenses and permits that may be required to carry out exploration and development of its projects.

Availability of Equipment and Access Restrictions

Natural resource exploration and development activities are dependent on the availability of drilling and related equipment in the particular areas where such activities will be conducted. Demand for such limited equipment or access restrictions may affect the availability of such equipment to the Company and may delay exploration and development activities.

Conflict of Interest of Management

Certain of the Company's directors and officers are also directors and officers of other natural resource companies. Consequently, there exists the possibility for such directors and officers to be in a position of conflict. Any decision made by any of such directors and officers relating to the Company will be made in accordance with their duties and obligations to deal fairly and in good faith with the Company and such other companies.

Competition

The Company actively competes for acquisitions, leases, licenses, concessions, claims, skilled industry personnel and other related interests with a substantial number of other companies, many of which have significantly greater financial resources than the Company.

The Company's ability to successfully bid on and acquire additional property rights to participate in opportunities and to identify and enter into commercial arrangements with other parties will be dependent upon developing and maintaining close working relationships with its future industry partners and joint operators and its ability to select and evaluate suitable properties and to consummate transactions in a highly competitive environment.

Insurance

The Company's involvement in the exploration for and development of natural resource properties may result in the Company becoming subject to liability for certain risks, and in particular unexpected or unusual geological operating conditions, including rock bursts, cave ins, fires, floods, earthquakes, pollution, blow-outs, property damage, personal injury or other hazards. Although the Company will obtain insurance in accordance with industry standards to address such risks, such insurance has limitations on liability that may not be sufficient to cover the full extent of such liabilities. In addition, such risks may not, in all circumstances be insurable, or, in certain circumstances, the Company may elect not to obtain insurance to deal with specific risks due to the high premiums associated with such insurance or other reasons. The payment of such uninsured liabilities would reduce the funds available to the Company. The occurrence of a significant event that the Company is not fully insured against, or the insolvency of the insurer or such event, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or prospects.

No assurance can be given that insurance to cover the risks to which the Company's activities will be subject will be available at all or at economically feasible premiums. Insurance against environmental risks (including potential for pollution or other hazards as a result of the disposal of waste products occurring from production) is not generally available to the Company or to other companies within the industry. The payment of such liabilities would reduce the funds available to the Company. Should the Company be unable to fund fully the cost of remedying an environmental problem, the Company might be required to suspend operations or enter into interim compliance measures pending completion of the required remedy.

The Market Price of Shares May Be Subject to Wide Price Fluctuations

The market price of shares may be subject to wide fluctuations in response to many factors, including variations in the operating results of the Company, divergence in financial results from analysts' expectations, changes in earnings estimates by stock market analysts, changes in the business prospects for the Company, general economic conditions, changes in mineral reserve or resource estimates, results of exploration, changes in results of mining operations, legislative changes, and other events and factors outside of the Company's control.

In addition, stock markets have from time to time experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations, which, as well as general economic and political conditions, could adversely affect the market price for the shares.

The Company is unable to predict whether substantial amounts of shares will be sold in the open market. Any sales of substantial amounts of shares in the public market, or the perception that such sales might occur, could materially and adversely affect the market price of the shares.

Global Financial Conditions

Global financial conditions over the last few years have been characterized by increased volatility and several financial institutions have either gone into bankruptcy or have had to be rescued by governmental authorities. These factors may affect the ability of the Company to obtain equity or debt financing in the future on terms favourable to it. Additionally, these factors, as well as other related factors, may cause decreases in asset values that are deemed to be other than temporary, which may result in impairment losses. If such increased levels of volatility and market turmoil continue, the operations of the Company may suffer adverse impact and the price of our shares may be adversely affected.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a party to its financial instruments fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company's financial assets exposed to credit risk will be primarily composed of cash and amounts receivable. While the Company will attempt to mitigate its exposure to credit risk, there can be no assurance that unexpected losses will not occur. Such unexpected losses could adversely affect the Company.

Management's Responsibility for Financial Statements

The information provided in this report, including the financial statements, is the responsibility of management. In the preparation of these statements, estimates are sometimes necessary to make a determination of future values for certain assets or liabilities. Management believes such estimates have been based on careful judgments and have been properly reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

COVID 19

In March 2020 the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, and any related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, potentially leading to an economic downturn. It is not possible for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on the Company's business or ability to raise funds.

Disclosure and Internal Controls

Disclosure controls and procedures have been established to provide reasonable assurance that material information relating to the Company is made known to management, particularly during the period in which annual filings are being prepared. Furthermore, internal controls over financial reporting have been established to ensure the Company's assets are safeguarded and to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS.

Caution Regarding Forward Looking Statements

Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any of our future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements; consequently, undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements are based on a number of assumptions that may prove to be incorrect, including, but not limited to, assumptions about: general business and economic conditions; the expected timing to complete a feasibility study and other exploration milestones, the timing of the receipt of required permits and approvals for operations; the availability of equity and other financing on reasonable terms; power prices; the Company's ability to procure equipment and operating supplies in sufficient quantities and on a timely basis; the Company's ability to attract and retain skilled labour and staff; the impact of changes in Canadian/US dollar and other foreign exchange rates on costs and results; market competition; and ongoing relations with employees and with business partners and joint venturers.

Events or circumstances could cause our actual results to differ materially from those estimated or projected and expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements. Management undertakes no obligation to update publicly or otherwise revise any forward-looking statements or the foregoing list of factors, whether as a result of new information or future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable laws.
