ALLEGIANT GOLD LTD. Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements Three Month Period Ended December 31, 2020 (Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

Allegiant Gold Ltd. (the “Company” or “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 Orea Mining Corp. (“Orea”)(formerly Columbus Gold Corp.), a Toronto Stock Exchange listed company, until January 25, 2018, when it was spun-out of Orea by way of a plan of arrangement (the “Arrangement”) as a separate entity. The Company trades on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) under the symbol “AUAU” and on the OTCQX under the symbol “AUXXF”. 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 exploration and evaluation of resource properties located in the United States of America. The Company is in the process of exploring its resource properties, but it has not yet determined whether these properties contain ore reserves that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of the amounts shown for exploration and evaluation assets are dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete the development of those reserves and upon future profitable production or from proceeds of disposition. The Company’s exploration and evaluation activities are not dependent on seasonality and may operate yearround; however, the Company may adjust the level of exploration and evaluation activities to manage its capital structure in light of changes in global economic conditions. To date, the Company has not received any revenue from mining operations and is considered to be in the exploration stage.

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.

The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise equity capital or borrowings sufficient to meet current and future obligations. If for any reason, the Company is unable to continue as a going concern, then this could result in adjustments to the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities in the Company’s financial statements and such adjustments could be material. The above conditions cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

Statement of Compliance

These condensed interim financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and the interpretations of the IFRS Interpretations committee. They do not include all disclosures required by International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") for annual financial statements, and therefore should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2020, prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors of the Company on February 24, 2021.

Basis of Measurement

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis. In addition, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.

ALLEGIANT GOLD LTD. Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements Three Month Period Ended December 31, 2020 (Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued)

Functional and Presentation Currency

The functional currency of the Company is the Canadian dollar, which is also the presentation currency of the consolidated financial statements.

Basis of Consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Allegiant and its wholly-owned subsidiaries as follows:

Entity Ownership Interest **Place of Incorporation **
Allegiant Gold Holding Ltd. 100% British Columbia, Canada
Allegiant Gold(U.S.)Ltd. 100% Nevada,USA

All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Control exists where the parent entity has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. Subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date control commences until the date control ceases.

Use of Estimates and Judgements

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

The 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.

ALLEGIANT GOLD LTD. Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements Three Month Period Ended December 31, 2020 (Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued)

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 riskfree 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:

Entity Functional Currency
Allegiant Gold Ltd. Canadian dollar
Allegiant Gold Holding Ltd. (“AGHL”) Canadian dollar
Allegiant Gold(U.S.)Ltd.(“AGUS”) United States dollar

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions which affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company’s management reviews these estimates and underlying assumptions on an ongoing basis, based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Revisions to estimates are adjusted for prospectively in the period in which the estimates are revised.

Estimates and assumptions used by management where there is risk of material adjustments to assets and liabilities in future accounting periods include the recoverability of the carrying value of exploration and evaluation assets, assumptions used in determination of the fair value of share-based payments, the recoverability and measurement of deferred tax assets, decommissioning obligations, restoration and similar liabilities and contingent liabilities.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the same accounting policies as those used in the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2020.

13. FINANCIAL RISK AND CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

Financial risk

The Company’s financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks. The risk exposures and the impact on the Company's financial instruments at December 31, 2020 are summarized below. The Board of Directors periodically reviews with management the principal risks affecting the Company and the systems that have been put in place to manage these risks.

Credit risk

The credit risk exposure on cash is limited to its carrying amount at the date of the statements of financial position. Cash is held as cash deposits with creditworthy banks in Canada and the USA, and risk is assessed as low.

The credit risk exposure on reclamation bonds is limited to its carrying amount at the date of the statements of financial position. Reclamation bonds are held by the USA Forest Service and the US Bureau of Land Management, and risk is assessed as low.

The credit risk exposure on receivables is limited to its carrying amount at the date of the statements of financial position. Receivables are due primarily from the Canada Revenue Agency for GST/HST refunds.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk arises from the Company’s general and capital financing needs. The Company manages liquidity risk by attempting to maintain sufficient cash balances. Liquidity requirements are managed based on expected cash flows to ensure that there is sufficient capital in order to meet short term obligations. As at December 31, 2020, the Company had working capital of $2,614,267 (September 30, 2020 – $3,368,533) so liquidity risk is assessed as low.

Market risks

  • (i) Foreign currency risk

The Company’s presentation currency is the Canadian dollar, however the functional currency of AGUS is the US dollar. The Company is exposed to the currency risk related to the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates in its US subsidiary. The Company also has certain assets and liabilities denoted in US dollars. A significant change in the currency exchange rates between the Canadian dollar relative to the US dollar could have an effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position and/or cash flows. The Company has not hedged its exposure to currency fluctuations.

  • (ii) Commodity price risk

The Company’s ability to raise capital to fund exploration or development activities is subject to risks associated with fluctuations in the market price of gold. The Company closely monitors commodity prices to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken.

  • (iii) Interest rate risk

The Company does not have any variable interest-bearing debt and is therefore not exposed to interest rate risk.

13. FINANCIAL RISK AND CAPITAL MANAGEMENT (continued)

Sensitivity analysis

A 10% change in interest rates does not have a significant effect on the Company’s profit or loss.

The Company has certain assets and liabilities in US Dollars, a currency other than the functional currency of Company. The Company estimates that a +/-10% change in the value of the Canadian dollar relative to the US dollar does not have a significant effect on the Company’s profit or loss.

The Company considers the components of equity as being capital. The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to pursue the development of its mineral properties and to maintain a flexible capital structure for its projects for the benefit of its stakeholders. As the Company is in the exploration stage, its principal source of funds is from equity financings and debt from Orea.

The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may attempt to issue new shares, enter into joint venture property arrangements, acquire or dispose of assets or adjust the amount of cash and investments.

Fair value

The fair value of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, short-term investments, receivables and accounts payable, approximates their carrying value due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. These items are measured at amortized cost.

The fair value of the reclamation bonds approximates their fair value based on current interest rates and high liquidity.

The fair value of the short-term investments is measured using level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

IFRS 9, Financial Instruments: Disclosure establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the input to valuation techniques used to measure fair value as follows:

  • Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and

  • Level 3 – inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The Company has determined the estimated fair values of its financial instruments based upon appropriate valuation methodologies.

14. COMMITMENT

The Company entered into a lease agreement on May 1, 2020 for the rental of storage space in Reno, Nevada with a term that expires on April 30, 2022 with an option to renew the lease for a further term of 2 years expiring on April 30, 2024.
