Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Expressed in Canadian dollars)

AFTERMATH SILVER LTD.

Periods ended November 30, 2020 and 2019

1. Nature of operations and going concern:

Aftermath Silver Ltd. (“the Company” or “Aftermath”) was incorporated under the laws of British Columbia on January 27, 2011. Its principal business activity is the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties. The Company’s shares are currently traded on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”) under the symbol AAG and on the OTCQB under the symbol AAGFF. The Company’s registered and records address is: Suite 1500 – 409 Granville Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 1T2.

The Company is in the exploration stage and engages principally in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. The recoverability of the amounts shown for mineral properties is ultimately dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, securing and maintaining title and beneficial interest in the mineral properties, obtaining necessary financing to explore and develop the mineral properties, entering into agreements with others to explore and develop the mineral properties, and upon future profitable production or proceeds from disposition of the mineral properties.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and settle its obligations in the normal course of business. The Company has no operating revenue and has a history of losses. As at November 30, 2020, the Company has a net working capital of $16,160,958. Management has forecasted that the Company’s current working capital and subsequent financing will be sufficient to execute its planned expenditures for the coming year. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not reflect adjustments, which could be material to the carrying values of assets and liabilities, which may be required should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The ability of the Company to carry out its planned business objectives is dependent on its ability to raise adequate financing from lenders, shareholders and other investors and/or generate operating profitability and positive cash flow. There can be no assurances that the Company will continue to obtain the additional financial resources necessary and/or achieve profitability or positive cash flows. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate financing, the Company will be required to curtail operations in the long term.

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.

2. Basis of Preparation:

  • (a) Basis of presentation:

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with International Accounts Standards (“IAS”) 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and Interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”). The accounting policies and methods of computation applied are the same as those applied in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended May 31, 2020.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on January 25, 2021.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Expressed in Canadian dollars)

AFTERMATH SILVER LTD.

Periods ended November 30, 2020 and 2019

2. Basis of Preparation (continued):

(b) Basis of consolidation:

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its 100% owned subsidiary Minera Cachinal S.A. (note 4), and its wholly owned inactive subsidiary, Minera ISP S. R.L. de C.V. Intercompany balances and transactions, including any unrealized income and expenses arising from intercompany transactions, are eliminated on consolidation.

Non-controlling interest represents the portion of a subsidiary’s earnings and losses and net assets that is not held by the Company. Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss, statement of changes in equity, and statement of financial position respectively.

3. Significant accounting estimates and judgments

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reported periods. The Company reviews its estimates and assumptions regularly; however, actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant judgments are used are as follows:

Going concern

The assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern involves judgment based on historical experience. Significant judgments are used in the Company’s assessment of its ability to continue as a going concern, which are described in Note 1.

Functional currency

The functional currency of an entity is assessed on a standalone basis to determine the economic substance of the currency in which each entity performs its operations.

Acquisition of subsidiary entities

Management determines whether assets acquired, and liabilities assumed constitute a business. A business consists of inputs and processes applied to those inputs that have the ability to create outputs. During the year ended May 31, 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of Minera Cachinal (note 4) and determined that the transaction did not qualify as a business combination under IFRS 3, “Business Combinations.”

Deferred Income tax

The determination of income tax is inherently complex and requires making certain judgments about future events. While income tax filings are subject to audits and reassessments, the Company has adequately provided for all income tax obligations. However, changes in facts and circumstances as a result of income tax audits, reassessments, jurisprudence and any new legislation may result in an increase or decrease in our provision for income taxes.

AFTERMATH SILVER LTD.

Periods ended November 30, 2020 and 2019

3. Significant accounting estimates and judgments (continued):

Mineral properties

The recognition of mineral properties requires judgments regarding future recoverability and carrying cost. The cost model is utilized and the value of the mineral properties is based on the acquisition expenditures incurred. At every reporting period, management assesses the potential impairment which involves assessing whether or not facts or circumstances exist that suggest the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.

Significant accounting estimates are used as follows:

Share-based payments

Share-based payments are subject to estimation of the value of the award at the date of grant using pricing models such as the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The option valuation model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company’s stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options and because the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the calculated fair value, such value is subject to measurement uncertainty.

Shares issued in non-cash transactions

The valuation of shares issued in non-cash transactions. Generally, the valuation of non-cash transactions is based on the value of the goods or services received. When this cannot be determined, it is based on the fair value of the non-cash consideration. When non-cash transactions are entered into with employees and those providing similar services, the non-cash transactions are measured at the fair value of the consideration given up using market prices.

4. Mineral Property:

On October 30, 2019, the Company entered into an agreement for the acquisition (“Minera Cachinal Acquisition”) of an 80% ownership stake in the Cachinal De La Sierra silver-gold project (the “Cachinal property”) located in Chile, through the acquisition of an 80% ownership in Minera Cachinal S.A. (“Minera Cachinal”) from Halo Labs Inc. (“Halo”). In consideration for 80% ownership of Minera Cachinal, the Company will pay Halo a total of $1,575,000 as a convertible note (note 6), consisting of $250,000 due on October 30, 2019 (paid), $250,000 due on or before April 30, 2020 (paid), $525,000 due on or before October 30, 2020, and $550,000 due on or before April 30, 2021, and assume certain debts. The convertible note was amended and was settled by the issuance of 4,000,000 common shares. As at May 31, 2020, the Company had also incurred $95,170 in transaction costs, of which $21,079 had been deferred at May 31, 2019.

Minera Cachinal is not considered to be a business under IFRS 3 Business Combinations ; accordingly, the Minera Cachinal Acquisition is accounted for as an asset acquisition.

On May 25, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement with the non-controlling interest (“NCI”) holder, SSR Mining Inc. (“SSR”), whereby it would acquire the remaining 20% stake by paying $100,000 and issuing a promissory note for $600,000 payable as follows: $50,000 on execution (paid), $50,000 on the year anniversary, $300,000 on the two-year anniversary, and $300,000 on the three-year anniversary. The Company recognized a fair value acquisition payable of $547,335 on the date of the acquisition using a discount rate of 12%. As at November 30, 2020, $47,170 has been presented as current and $480,223 as a long-term liability. The Company recorded accretion of $29,131 for the period ended November 30, 2020 (year ended May 31, 2020 - $927). $137,861 in amounts previously recorded as due to investors within Minera Cachinal were forgiven as a result of the transaction, and accordingly, the Company recognized $137,861 within gain on settlement of accounts payable recognized on the statement of loss and comprehensive loss for the year ended May 31, 2020. The Company had a reclassification to reserves of $124,260 determined by the difference between the consideration paid less the value of the NCI on the acquisition date. The allocation of consideration has been calculated as follows:

Acquisition payable $ 547,335
NCI – initial balance (443,168)
Loss attributable toNCI forperiodfromOctober 29,2019 toMay25,2020 20,093
Reclassified to reserves on elimination of NCI $ 124,260

As at November 30, 2020, the transfer of the shares of Minera Cachinal from Halo and SSR to the Company has yet to be completed due to delays caused by COVID-19. The Company has otherwise satisfied all conditions for the ownership of Minera Cachinal and the shares are being held in trust for the benefit of the Company by each of Halo and SSR. Subsequent to the period ended November 30, 2020, the Company received the transfer of the 80% holdings from Halo.

9. Financial instruments:

The Company’s cash is classified at level one of the fair value hierarchy. The carrying values of receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and due to related parties approximate their fair values due to their short terms to maturity. The promissory note was valued using a valuation technique.

  • (a) Financial instrument risk exposure and risk management:

Credit risk

Credit risk arises from the possibility that counterparties may be unable to fulfill their commitments to the Company. The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its liquid financial assets, including cash and receivables. The carrying value of these instruments represents the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk. The Company manages and limits exposure to credit risk by maintaining its cash with high-credit quality financial institutions. There is minimal credit risk with respect to GST receivable as this amount is recoverable from Canadian governmental agencies. At November 30, 2020, the Company’s exposure to credit risk is minimal.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company cannot meet its financial obligations associated with financial liabilities in full. The Company manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure, as outlined in note 9(b) of these consolidated financial statements.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company has no interest-bearing financial assets as at November 30, 2020.

9. Financial instruments (continued):

  • (a) Financial instrument risk exposure and risk management (continued):

Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of the changes in foreign currency rates. The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the Canadian dollar. The Company incurs foreign currency risk on purchases that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the Company, which will have an impact on the profitability of the Company and may also affect the value of the Company’s assets, liabilities and the amount of shareholders’ equity.

The Company’s main risks are associated with fluctuations in the US dollar (“US”), the Chilean peso (“CLP”), and the Mexican peso (“MXN”). The Company does not enter into any foreign exchange hedging contracts. As at November 30, 2020, the Company had foreign current assets totaling approximately CLP13,449,710 and amounts payable totaling approximately US$39,153, CLP12,081,511, and MXN263,984. The Company has determined that a 10% increase or decrease in these currencies against the Canadian dollar on these instruments, as at November 30, 2020, would result in a $6,554 change to profit or loss for the period.

(b) Capital management:

The Company’s objectives of capital management are intended to safeguard the entity's ability to support the Company’s exploration and evaluation of its resource properties and support any expansion plans. The capital of the Company consists of the items included in shareholders’ equity.

The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the Company’s underlying assets. To effectively manage the entity’s capital requirements, the Company has in place a planning and budgeting process to help determine the funds required to ensure the Corporation has the appropriate liquidity to meet its financial objectives. Notwithstanding the risks described in note 1 of the consolidated financial statements, the Company expects to continue to raise funds, from time to time, to continue meeting its capital management objectives.

The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements. There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the year.

10. Segmented information:

The Company operates in one segment being the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. Geographical information can be found in notes 4 and 5.

11. Subsequent events:

Subsequent to the period ended November 30, 2020, the Company:

a) issued 346,279 common shares as a finders’ fee in connection with the Berenguela acquisition.
