SPEARMINT RESOURCES INC. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Expressed in Canadian Dollars) July 31, 2021
1. NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS
Spearmint Resources Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia, Canada on September 23, 2009. The Company is an exploration stage public company and is listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”) under the symbol “SPMT”. The Company’s principal business activities include acquiring and exploring exploration and evaluation assets. At July 31, 2021, the Company had exploration and evaluation assets located in Canada and the United States.
The Company’s head office and principal business address is located at 2905 – 700 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V7Y 1K8. The Company’s registered and records office is located at 900 – 885 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 3H1.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business. At July 31, 2021, the Company had not yet achieved profitable operations, incurred a net loss of $969,622 during the six months ended July 31, 2021 and has an accumulated deficit of $5,879,192 since its inception. The Company expects to incur further losses in the development of its business. The Company estimates it has sufficient capital for the next 12 months or longer.
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. While the Company has been successful in securing financings in the past, there is no assurance that it will be able to do so in the future. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not give effect to adjustments, if any, that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. If the going concern assumption was not used, then the adjustments required to report the Company’s assets and liabilities on a liquidation basis could be material to these condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
a) Statement of Compliance
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS34”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). Therefore, these condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s most recently issued audited financial statements for the year ended January 31, 2021, which includes information necessary or useful to understanding the Company’s business and financial statement presentation.

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. Control exists when the Company has power over an investee, when the Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from the investee and when the Company has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Subsidiaries are included in the condensed consolidated interim financial results of the Company from the effective date of acquisition up to the effective date of disposition or loss of control. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by the Company.

8. LOSS PER SHARE
The calculation of basic and diluted loss per share was based on the following data:
| Six months | ended July 31, | ended July 31, | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2021 | 2020 | |||
| Net loss | $ | 969,622 |
$ | 338,208 |
| Weighted average number of common shares for the | ||||
| purpose of basic and diluted loss per share | 243,265,256 | 162,545,665 |
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution of common share equivalents, such as stock options and share purchase warrants, in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, if dilutive. All of the stock options and share purchase warrants currently issued (see Note 7) were antidilutive for the six months ended July 31, 2021 and 2020.
Basic and diluted loss per share for the six months ended July 31, 2021 was $(0.00) (six months ended July 31, 2020: $(0.00)).
