ADVANCE GOLD CORP. NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOVEMBER 30, 2020

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

Advance Gold Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the Province of British Columbia on September 28, 2004. The Company’s shares are listed on the TSX-Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”). The Company is an exploration stage company engaged in the exploration and evaluation of mineral property interests. The Company’s registered office is located at 1400 – 1040 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6E 4H1 and the head office is located at 432 Royal Avenue, Kamloops, British Columbia V2B 3P7.

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concerns basis, which contemplates that the Company will continue operations for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred significant losses from inception and as at November 30 , 2020 the Company had a deficit of $7,023,753 (May 31, 2020 - $6,559,022) and has a working capital of $15,557 as at November 30, 2020 (May 31, 2020 – deficiency of $263,568).

The ability of the Company to continue as going concern is in doubt and is dependent upon the continued financial support from its directors and its ability to continue to raise sufficient financing. Management is seeking equity financing and joint venture opportunities, the outcome of which cannot be predicted at this time. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not reflect the adjustments or reclassifications which would be necessary if the Company were unable to continue as a going concern.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements for period ended November 30, 2020 were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors of the Company on January 29, 2021.

Statement of compliance

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) and are in compliance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as required under Part 3 of National Instrument 52-107.

Basis of consolidation

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its controlled entities and have been prepared on a historical cost basis, with the exception of certain financial instruments measured at fair value. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation.

The net interest of the Company’s subsidiaries is presented below:

Country of Ownership Ownership
incorporation November 30, 2020 May 31, 2020
Gold Rim Exploration Inc. Kenya 100% 100%
Advance Gold S.A. de C.V.(“Advance Mexico”) Mexico 98% 98%

Financial Instruments:

The following is the Company’s accounting policy for financial instruments under IFRS 9:

(i) Classification

The Company classifies its financial instruments in the following categories: at fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”), at fair value through other comprehensive income (loss) (“FVTOCI”) or at amortized cost. The Company determines the classification of financial assets at initial recognition. The classification of debt instruments is driven by the Company’s

Page | 9

ADVANCE GOLD CORP. NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOVEMBER 30, 2020

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

business model for managing the financial assets and their contractual cash flow characteristics. Equity instruments that are held for trading are classified as FVTPL. For other equity instruments, on the day of acquisition the Company can make an irrevocable election (on an instrument-by-instrument basis) to designate them as at FVTOCI. 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 if the Company has opted to measure them at FVTPL.

Financial assets/liabilities Classification
Cash FVTPL
Accounts payable Amortized cost
Due to related party Amortized cost
Debentures Amortized cost

(ii) Measurement

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 the statements of comprehensive loss. Realized and unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the financial assets and liabilities held at FVTPL are included in the statements of comprehensive loss in the period in which they arise.

Debt investments at FVTOCI

These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest income calculated using the effective interest method, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognised in profit or loss. Other net gains and losses are recognised in other comprehensive income (“OCI”). On derecognition, gains and losses accumulated in OCI are reclassified to profit or loss

Equity investments at FVTOCI

These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognised as income in profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Other net gains and losses are recognised in OCI and are never reclassified to profit or loss.

(iii) 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 the statements of comprehensive 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.

(iv) 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.

Financial liabilities

Page | 10

ADVANCE GOLD CORP. NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOVEMBER 30, 2020

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expire. The Company also derecognizes a financial liability when the terms of the liability are modified such that the terms and / or cash flows of the modified instrument are substantially different, in which case a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognized at fair value.

Gains and losses on derecognition are generally recognized in profit or loss.

Foreign Currency Translation

(i) Presentation and functional currency

The Company’s functional and presentation currency is the Canadian dollar. Functional currency is also determined for each of the Company’s subsidiaries, and items included in the financial statements of the subsidiary are measured using that functional currency. The Canadian dollar is the functional currency of both the Company’s Kenyan subsidiary and Mexican subsidiary.

(ii) Foreign currency transactions

Transactions in currencies other than the functional currencies are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at the date of the consolidated statement of financial position.

Gain and losses arising on foreign currency translations are included in the Company’s statement of comprehensive loss.

Exploration and evaluation assets

Acquired properties are recognized at cost, or if acquired as part of a business combination, at fair value at the date of acquisition. All costs directly related to exploration activities are capitalized once the Company has obtained the legal right to explore. Acquisition costs include cash consideration and the fair value of common shares, issued for exploration and evaluation assets. Exploration expenditures, net of recoveries, are capitalized as incurred. After a property is determined by management to be commercially feasible, acquisition costs and their related deferred exploration expenditures on the property will be transferred to mineral properties under development. Prior to transfer the assets will be tested for impairment.

Exploration and evaluation assets acquired under an option agreement where payments are made at the sole discretion of the Company, are capitalized at the time of payment. Option payments received are treated as a reduction of the carrying value of the related acquisition cost for the exploration and evaluation assets until the payments are in excess of acquisition costs, at which time they are then recognized in profit or loss in the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive income or loss. Option payments are at the discretion of the optionor and, accordingly, are accounted for when receipt is reasonably assured.

The Company has farm-out arrangements with a third party on its exploration property. The Company does not record any expenditure made by the farmee on its account. It also does not recognize any gain or loss on its exploration and evaluation farm-out arrangement but predesignates any costs previously capitalized in relation to the whole interest as relating to the partial interest retained. Any cash consideration received directly from the farmee is credited against costs previously capitalized in relation to the whole interest with any excess accounted for by the farmor as a gain on disposal. The recoverability of the carrying amount of exploration and evaluation assets is dependent on successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively, the sale of the respective areas of interest.

Decommissioning liability

The Company is required to recognize a liability when a legal or constructive obligation exists to dismantle, remove or restore its assets, including any obligation to rehabilitate environmental damage on its exploration and evaluation assets. As of November 30, 2020, and May 31, 2020, the Company has not incurred any such obligations.

Page | 11

ADVANCE GOLD CORP. NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOVEMBER 30, 2020

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

Impairment of long-lived assets

At each reporting date, the carrying amounts of the Company’s assets, including exploration and evaluation assets are reviewed to determine whether there is an indication that those assets are impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment, if any.

The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted at a rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount and the impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss. For the purposes of assessing for indications of impairment and impairment testing, assets that do not have largely independent cash inflows are grouped into cash generating units. Cash generating units are the smallest identifiable groups of assets having independent cash inflows.

An impairment loss, excluding those recognized on goodwill, is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had previously been recognized.

Income or Loss per share

The Company presents basic and diluted income or loss per share data for its common shares, calculated by dividing the income or loss attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted income or loss per share is determined by adjusting the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential common shares. All the share options and warrants were anti-dilutive as of November 30, 2020 and May 31, 2020.

Income taxes

Current income tax:

Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current year are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date, in the countries where the Company operates and generates taxable income.

Current income tax relating to items recognized directly in other comprehensive income or equity is recognized in other comprehensive income or equity and not in profit or loss. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.

Deferred income tax:

Deferred income tax is recognized, using the asset and liability method, on temporary differences at the reporting date arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and recognized only to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilized.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realized, or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Critical accounting estimates and judgments

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. The preparation of financial statements also requires management to make judgments aside from those that involve estimates, in the process of applying the accounting policies. These judgments can have an effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements.

Page | 12

ADVANCE GOLD CORP. NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOVEMBER 30, 2020 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

Critical accounting estimates

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized prospectively from the period in which the estimates are revised. The following are the key uncertainties related to estimates that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment within the next financial year and to judgments that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized and disclosed in the financial statements.

Impairment of non-financial assets

When there are indications that an asset may be impaired, the Company is required to estimate the asset’s recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is the greater of value in use and fair value less costs to sell. Determining the value in use requires the Company to estimate expected future cash flows associated with the assets and a suitable discount rate in order to calculate present value.

Calculation of stock-based compensation

The Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model is used to determine the fair value for the stock options and utilizes subjective assumptions such as expected price volatility and expected life of the options. Discrepancies in these input assumptions can significantly affect the fair value estimate.

Useful life of equipment

Equipment are depreciated using the declining balance method at the rate of 30% per year. They are not depreciated until available for use. Changes in the estimated useful lives could significantly increase or decrease the amount of depreciation recorded during the year and the carrying value of equipment. Total carrying value of equipment at November 30, 2020 was $68,495 (May 31, 2020 - $54,570).

Critical judgments used in applying accounting policies

Exploration and evaluation assets

Management is required to apply judgment in determining whether technical feasibility and commercial viability can be demonstrated for its mineral properties under exploration. Once technical feasibility and commercial viability of a property can be demonstrated, it is reclassified from exploration and evaluation assets and subject to different accounting treatment.

As at November 30, 2020 and May 31, 2020 management had determined that no reclassification of exploration and evaluation assets was required.

Income taxes

The measurement of income taxes payable and deferred income tax assets and liabilities requires management to make judgments in the interpretation and application of the relevant tax laws. The actual amount of income taxes only becomes final upon filing and acceptance of the tax return by the relevant authorities, which occurs subsequent to the issuance of the financial statements.

Accounting standards issued but not yet effective

Accounting standards or amendments to existing accounting standards that have been issued but have future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

3. MANAGEMENT OF CAPITAL

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern in order to pursue the development of its exploration and evaluation assets and to maintain a flexible capital structure which optimizes the costs of capital at an acceptable risk. In the management of capital, the Company includes the components of equity as well as its cash. In order to maximize ongoing development efforts, the Company does not pay out dividends. 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 its capital structure, the Company may attempt to issue new

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

shares, issue new debt, or acquire or dispose of assets. The Company’s investment policy is to invest its cash in highly liquid investments which are readily convertible into cash with maturities of three months or less from the original date of acquisition, selected with regards to the expected timing of expenditures from continuing operations. The Company expects that its current capital resources will not be sufficient to carry out its exploration and evaluation plans and operations through its next fiscal year. The Company is planning to use equity financing to support ongoing operations; however, there is no assurance that additional funding and/or suitable joint venture agreements will be obtained. There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the period. The Company has no externally imposed capital requirements.

4. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair Value

Fair value estimates are made at the reporting period end date, based on relevant market information. Estimated fair value amounts are designed to approximate amounts at which financial instruments could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties who are under no compulsion to act.

The Company uses a fair value hierarchy to categorize the inputs used in valuation techniques to measure fair value of financial instruments. The classifications are as follows: the use of quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1), internal models using observable market information as inputs (Level 2) and internal models without observable market information as inputs (Level 3). The Company had no Level 2 or Level 3 financial instruments at November 30, 2020 and May 31, 2020 and there have been no transfers between levels.

The following is an analysis of the Company’s financial assets measured at fair value as at November 30, 2020 and May 31, 2020:

2020:
November 30, 2020
Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Cash $ 260,344 $ - $ -
May 31, 2020(Note 14)
Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Cash $ 2,461 $ - $ -

Financial Risk Management

The Company’s financial instruments potentially expose it to a variety of risks, including credit risk, foreign exchange risk (currency), liquidity and interest rate risk.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist of cash and amounts receivable. The Company deposits the majority of its cash with high credit quality financial institutions in Canada reducing the credit risk. Amounts receivable consist of refundable tax credits and therefore credit risk is minimal.

Currency risk

Currency risk is the risk that the fair values of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because they are denominated in currencies that differ from the respective functional currency. Certain assets and liabilities of the Company are denominated in Kenyan Shilling and Mexican Peso and are therefore subject to fluctuation against the Canadian dollar. Currency risk is considered to be moderate.

The Canadian dollar equivalent of financial instruments denominated in foreign currencies as at November 30, 2020 and May 31, 2020 is as follows:

Cash $ 5,145 $ 223
Accountspayable and accrued liabilities (120,732) (98,143)
$ (115,587) $ (97,920)

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. Current financial assets and financial liabilities are generally not exposed to interest rate risk because of their short-term nature, maturity, and fixed interest rate on debentures.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in raising funds to meet commitments associated with financial instruments. The Company manages liquidity by maintaining adequate cash balances. The Company’s expected source of cash flow in the upcoming year is anticipated to be through equity financing and future loan facilities, and potential joint venture agreements. Cash on hand at November 30, 2020 is insufficient to fund the Company’s operational needs for the next 12 months. Liquidity risk is assessed as high.

Under the terms of the agreement, Acacia has the right to earn at least a 75% interest in the Kakamega Property. The agreement became effective on July 21, 2011, when these two conditions had been fulfilled (the “Effective Date”). Acacia earned a 75% interest in the property by completing the following:

  • Incur an additional US$1,000,000 in exploration expenditures on the property within 24 months of earning a 51% interest (completed).

Once Acacia obtained a 75% interest, the Company may elect to participate as to its 25% share of all revenues, costs, assets and liabilities arising from the election to joint venture or, alternatively, elect to dilute their interest to 10% after which Acacia may convert the Company’s interest in the property to a 3% net smelter royalty (“NSR”).
