Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements Three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars) (Unaudited)
ABRAPLATA RESOURCE CORP.
1. Nature of operations
AbraPlata Resource Corp. (formerly Angel Bioventures Inc.) (the “Company” or "AbraPlata") was incorporated on August 31, 1993 under the Alberta Business Corporations Act. On September 30, 2015, the Company’s incorporation jurisdiction was moved to British Columbia. The Company’s registered office is located at Suite 550, 220 Bay Street, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2W4.
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. As at September 30, 2020, the Company has a working capital of $17,397,416 (December 31, 2019– $927,845) and has an accumulated deficit of $24,180,858. The continued operations of the Company are dependent on its ability to generate future cash flows or obtain additional financing. Management is of the opinion that sufficient working capital will be obtained from external financing to meet the Company’s liabilities and commitments as they become due, although there is a risk that additional financing will not be available on a timely basis or on terms acceptable to the Company. These factors indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt upon the Company’s ability to continues as a going concern. These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that may be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
2. Basis of preparation
Statement of compliance
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’ (“IAS 34”) using accounting policies consistent with IFRS issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and Interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”). The accounting policies and methods of computation applied by the Company in these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are the same as those applied in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 other than below. Any subsequent changes to IFRS that are given effect in the Company's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2020 could result in restatement of these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements.
These consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on November 25, 2020.

ABRAPLATA RESOURCE CORP.
3. Hyperinflation
Due to various qualitative factors and developments with respect to the economic environment in Argentina during the year ended December 31, 2018, including, but not limited to, the acceleration of multiple local inflation indices, the three-year cumulative inflation rate of the local Argentine wholesale price index exceeding 100% in May 2018 and the significant devaluation of the Argentine Peso, Argentina was designated a hyper-inflationary economy as of July 1, 2018 for accounting purposes.
Accordingly, IAS 29, Financial Reporting in Hyper-Inflationary Economies, has been applied to these consolidated financial statements as the Company’s Argentine operating subsidiaries (the “Argentine Subsidiaries”) use the Argentine Peso as its functional currency. The Company also followed the interpretive guidance for first time adoption of IAS 29 included within IFRIC 7. The consolidated financial statements are based on the historical cost approach in IAS 29.
The application of hyperinflation accounting requires restatement of the Argentine subsidiaries’ non-monetary assets and liabilities, shareholders’ equity and comprehensive loss items from the transaction date when they were first recognized into the current purchasing power which reflects a price index current at the end of the reporting period before being included in the consolidated financial statements. To measure the impact of inflation on its financial position and results, the Company has elected to use the Wholesale Price Index (Indice de Precios Mayoristas or ”IPIM”) for periods up to December 31, 2016, and the Retail Price Index (Indice de Precios al Consumidor or “IPC”) thereafter. These price indices have been recommended by the Government Board of the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils of Economic Sciences (“FACPCE”).
As the consolidated financial statements of the Company have been previously presented in Canadian dollars, a stable currency, the comparative period amounts do not require restatement. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company recognized a gain of $1.5 million in relation to the impact of hyperinflation within other comprehensive income. This amount is primarily the result of hyperinflation adjustments recognized on nonmonetary assets held by its Argentine subsidiaries as of July 1, 2018, which have been restated from the historic date when they were first recognized to July 1, 2018 (the “Opening Hyperinflation Adjustment”), and then to December 31, 2019. On initial application of IAS 29, there is an accounting policy choice to recognize the Opening Hyperinflation Adjustment directly to opening equity or to other comprehensive loss. The Company has elected to recognize this amount to other comprehensive loss and it is included in the figure noted above.
As at September 30, 2020, the IPC was 346.6 (December 31, 2019- 283.4), which represents an increase of 14% during the period.
4. Change in accounting policy
Certain pronouncements were issued by the IASB or the IFRIC that are mandatory for accounting periods after January 1, 2020. The following new standards have been adopted:
Amendments to IFRS 3 Business Combinations
Amendments to IFRS 3, Business Combinations assist in determining whether a transaction should be accounted for as a business combination or an asset acquisition. It amends the definition of a business to include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create goods and services provided to customers, generating investment and other income, and it excludes returns in the form of lower costs and other economic benefits. The Company adopted these amendments on January 1, 2020 and the adoption has no impact on the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.

5. Financial instruments
(a) Fair value estimation
The fair value of financial instruments are determined by valuation methods depending on hierarchy levels as defined below:
-
Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy includes unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
-
Level 2 of the hierarchy includes inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
-
Level 3 includes inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.
The Company does not have any financial instruments included in Level 1, 2 and 3. The carrying values of financial instruments maturing in the short term approximates their fair values.
(b) Financial risks
The Company may be exposed to risks of varying degrees of significance which could affect its ability to achieve its strategic objectives. The Company manages risks to minimize potential losses. The main objective of the Company’s risk management process is to ensure that the risks are properly identified and that the capital base is adequate in relation to those risks. The Company’s risk exposure and the impact on the Company’s financial instruments are summarized below:
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of potential loss to the Company if the counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations.
The Company is exposed to credit risk with respect to its cash and receivables. The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk is their carrying amounts disclosed in the consolidated statement of financial position. Credit risk associated with cash is minimized by placing these instruments with major Canadian financial institutions with strong investmentgrade ratings as determined by a primary ratings agency. Credit risk associated with receivables is minimal as the majority of the balance is owing from Canada Revenue Agency.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due.
At September 30, 2020, the Company had a cash and cash equivalents balance of $24,466,971 to settle current liabilities of $7,418,358. All of the Company's financial liabilities other than lease liabilities have contractual maturities of less than 30 days and are subject to normal trade terms.
The Company intends to finance future requirements from share issuances, the exercise of options and/or warrants, debt or other sources. There can be no certainty of the Company’s ability to raise additional financing through these means.

5. Financial instruments (continued)
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market factors. Market risk comprises three types of risk: price risk, interest rate risk and currency risk.
Price risk
Price risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of the Company’s financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. The Company is not exposed to price risks.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair values and future cash flows of the Company will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk to the extent that the cash, if any, maintained at financial institutions is subject to a floating rate of interest. The interest rate risk on cash is not considered significant.
Currency risk
Currency risk is the risk that the fair values or future cash flows of the Company’s financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company is exposed to currency risk through financial assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the Canadian dollar, the Company’s presentation currency. The Company’s financial instruments denominated in currencies that are not the Canadian dollar as at September 30, 2020 are as follows:
| Cost | Chilean Peso | US$ Argentina Peso |
US$ Argentina Peso |
C$ equivalent |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cash | 83,838,244 | 5,119,283 | 37,557,088 | 7,377,889 |
| Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | 4,819,916 | 8,212 | 19,760,842 | 364,353 |
The Company’s sensitivity analysis suggests that a 10% depreciation or appreciation of the foreign currencies against the Canadian dollar would have resulted in an approximate $8,480 decrease or increase in the Company’s other comprehensive income or loss.
As at September 30, 2020, US dollar amounts have been translated at a rate of C$1.3339 per US dollar, Argentine Peso amounts have been translated at C$0.01747 per Argentine Peso and Chilean Peso amounts have been translated at C$0.00170 per Chilean Peso.
6. Capital management
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 and exploration of its mineral properties and to maintain a flexible capital structure, which optimizes the costs of capital to an acceptable risk.
The Company depends on external financing to fund its activities and there can be no guarantee that external financing will be available at terms acceptable to the Company. The Company does not believe its current working capital is sufficient to maintain its core operations for the next twelve months, and additional funding will be required by the Company to complete its strategic objectives and continue as a going concern. There is no certainty that additional financing at terms that are acceptable to the Company will be available. The capital structure of the Company currently consists of common shares. The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and risk characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may issue new debt, new shares or warrants.

6. Capital management (continued)
Management reviews its capital management approach on a regular basis. There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management.
7. Mineral property interests
Through the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, the Company controls exploration projects in Argentina classified by the Company into the Diablillos Project, Cerro Amarillo Project and La Coipita Project and in Chile classified into the Arcas project. All acquisition costs and option payments related to these exploration projects are capitalized as mineral interests and are incurred in US dollars and translated to Canadian dollars, the presentation currency for the Company.

(the "Share Purchase Agreement") pursuant to which Huayra acquired from SSRM all of the issued and outstanding shares of Pacific Rim Mining Corporation Argentina S.A., ABP Global Inc. (BVI) and ABP Diablillos Inc. (BVI) (together, the “SSRM subsidiaries”).

7. Mineral property interests (continued)
(a) Diablillos project (continued)
(1) (continued) Equity consideration consists of 11,294,609 Class B common shares of the Company which automatically converted into a number of Huayra Class A Shares that, upon the completion of the RTO, resulted in SSRM holding common shares of the Company representing 19.9% of the Company’s then outstanding common shares. The Share Purchase Agreement provides SSRM an anti-dilution right to maintain 19.9% equity interest in the capital of the Company until the Company completes a qualified financing of a minimum of US$5,000,000. During the year ended December 31, 2018 the Company completed a qualified financing and is no longer obligated to maintain SSRM’s free carried equity interest. As consideration for SSRM's agreement to amend the Share Purchase Agreement, the Company issued an additional 24.15 million common shares of the Company plus payment of $200,000.
The royalty consideration payable to SSRM consists of a 1% net smelter returns royalty. SSRM is entitled to receive advance royalty payments totaling of US$250,000 on November 1, 2017 (paid).
These advance royalty payments will be deducted and set off against the first US$250,000 of net smelter returns royalty payments otherwise payable in respect of the Diablillos Project. As security for the above obligations the Company has pledged to SSRM all the shares the Company acquired in the two entities which hold interest to the Diablillos Project and the Aguas Perdidas Project.
As consideration for SSRM’s agreement on September 11, 2019 to amend the Share Purchase Agreement, at the closing date of the Arrangement date with Aethon (additionally to the CAD$200,000 indicated above) AbraPlata issued to SSRM the number of AbraPlata shares which results in SSRM owning in aggregate 17.65% of AbraPlata’s share capital at that date (24,160,385 shares issued).
(2) On August 30, 2017 the Company signed an agreement, which was amended September 6, 2019, to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Minera Cerro Bayo S.A. (“Cerro Bayo”), a privately held Argentine company. Cerro Bayo owns certain mineral rights that, as a result of a long-standing border dispute between two neighboring provinces in northwestern Argentina, overlap and potentially conflict with the Company's mineral rights to its Diablillos Ag-Au project. The acquisition of the potentially conflicting mineral rights through the acquisition of Cerro Bayo means that the Company will retain its title to the Diablillos Ag-Au project regardless of the ultimate outcome of the provincial border dispute.
Cash and equity consideration payable under the agreement is as follows:
-
US$225,000 upon closing (paid);
-
US$175,000 on or before February 28, 2018 (paid);
-
US$15,000 upon signing of the September 6, 2019, amendment (paid);
-
US$350,000 and 300,000 common shares on or before November 30, 2019 (paid and issued);
-
US$65,000 on or before April 30, 2020 (paid);
-
US$65,000 and 200,000 common shares on or before October 31, 2020;
-
US$65,000 on or before April 30, 2021;
-
US$65,000 on or before October 31, 2021;
-
US$65,000 on or before April 30, 2022;
-
US$65,000 on or before October 31, 2022;
-
US$1,000,000 on or before July 31, 2023; and
-
US$1,170,000 on or before July 31, 2025.
The Company wrote off the acquisition costs incurred in relation to Cerro Bayo agreement in the year ended December 31, 2018.

Due to uncertainty of the timing for the completion of the glaciers inventory and the ratification of the permits, the Company wrote down the Cerro Amarillo project to $1 during the fifteen months ended December 31, 2017. During the year ended December 31, 2019, management decided to pursue exploration on the property again and accordingly, commenced capitalizing acquisition costs incurred.
