KENADYR MINING (HOLDINGS) CORP. FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2020 AND 2019

COMPANY OVERVIEW

Kenadyr Mining (Holdings) Corp. (“Kenadyr Holdings” or the “Corporation”) was incorporated on November 2, 2010 under the Business Corporation Act of the Province of British Columbia. The Corporation’s common shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”) under the symbol “KEN”.

The Corporation, through its subsidiary, is a natural resource company principally engaged in the exploration and development of the Borubai Project in the Chuy Region, Kyrgyz Republic. Kenadyr’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Proektno - Issledovatelskii Centr Ala-Too LLC (“PIC Ala Too”), a limited liability company formed under the laws of the Kyrgyz Republic on July 1, 2011, holds the license related to the Borubai Project, and is the operator of all related mineral exploration activities.

The Corporation’s registered and records office is located at 1055 W. Georgia Street, Suite 1500, PO Box 11117, Vancouver, BC V6E 4N7 and its principal business address is #1430 – 800 W. Pender Street, Vancouver, BC, V6C 2C6.

GOING CONCERN

This MD&A and the Annual Financial Statements have been prepared on the basis that the Corporation will remain a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for the Corporation’s next fiscal year. The Corporation’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Corporation incurred an operating loss of $743,562 and as at December 31, 2020, the Corporation had a deficit of $19,539,996. While the Corporation had working capital of $34,809 as at December 31, 2020, the Corporation expects to incur further operating losses for the foreseeable future in the development of its business and expects that it will require additional financing.

The Corporation’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the ability to find, acquire and develop various businesses with growth potential, its ability to obtain the necessary financing to carry out this strategy and to meet its corporate overhead needs and discharge its liabilities as they come due. Although the Corporation has been successful in the past in obtaining financing, there is no assurance that it will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or that such financing will be on terms advantageous to the Corporation. Therefore, this indicates a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Corporation’s ability to continue as a going concern.

As a result of the above, realization values may be substantially different from the carrying values shown and the interim financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities should the Corporation be unable to continue as a going concern.

COVID 19 ASSESSMENT

The recent outbreak of the coronavirus, also known as "COVID-19", has spread across the globe and is impacting worldwide economic activity. Conditions surrounding the coronavirus continue to rapidly evolve and government authorities have implemented emergency measures to mitigate the spread of the virus. The outbreak and the related mitigation measures may have an adverse impact on global economic conditions as well as on the Corporation’s business activities. The extent to which the coronavirus may impact the Corporation’s business activities will depend on future developments, such as the ultimate geographic spread of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, travel restrictions, business disruptions, and the effectiveness of actions taken in Canada and other countries to contain and treat the disease. These events are highly uncertain and as such, the Corporation cannot determine their financial impact at this time.

MINERAL PROPERTY

The Corporation is engaged in investigation, evaluation and conducting exploration activities in the Kyrgyz Republic. The Corporation’s wholly-owned subsidiary PIC Ala Too is the 100% legal and beneficial holder of an exploration license related to the Corporation’s mineral project located in Borubai, northern Kyrgyz Republic (the “Borubai Project”).

$ 3,832,245 $- $3,832,245

Borubai Project – Kyrgyz Republic

The Corporation’s exploration and evaluation asset consists of the Borubai Project.

The Borubai Project comprises a 100% owned exploration license covering a contiguous 164 km[2] and is located in northern Kyrgyz Republic. The Borubai Project has been the subject of extensive historic exploration including: drilling (98,200 m in 184 diamond drill holes), trenching (13,800 m[3] .), bulldozer cuts (33,400 m[3] .), geologic mapping at 1:25,000 and 1:50,000 scales, ridge and spur and grid soil geochemistry for multi elements (14,200 samples), rock geochemical sampling (2,320 samples), pan concentrate sampling (790 samples), and 100 meters of adits and 184 meters of underground raises. Additionally, the entire area has been subject to airborne magnetic, radiometric and gravity surveys, as well as ground-based resistivity and IP surveys.

The Borubai Project encircles the Zijin/KyrgyzAltyn newly constructed and operational Taldy- Bulak Levoberejny Mine (“TBL Mine”) which was built at a cost of USD $296 million. According to a news release published by Zijin Mining Group Co., Ltd. (“Zijin”) on August 15, 2011, the national resources table of Kyrgyz Republic stated that the TaldyBulak Levoberejny field contains (C1+C2) grades: 8,906,100 tonnes gold ore the average grade is 7.23g/t, and gold metal is 64,420.5kg, among which, C1 grade (initial mining reserve) 4,949,754 tonnes gold ore, the average grade is 7.02g/t, and gold metal volume is 34,754.6kg. The TBL Mine is designed to produce 125,000 oz. gold per year. The TBL Mine orebody directly connects to the Corporation’s initial drill target “The South Zone” which was previously drilled by the Soviets.

On September 5, 2014, the Corporation and the shareholders (the “Vendors”) of PIC Ala Too entered into a Share Exchange Agreement whereby the Corporation acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of PIC Ala Too in exchange for 7,500,000 common shares of the Corporation (the “Consideration Shares”). PIC Ala Too holds title to the Borubai Prospecting license number 3365AP in the Chuy Region, Kyrgyz Republic.

As of the acquisition date of PIC Ala Too, management of the Corporation concluded that the acquisition does not constitute a business combination as determined by IFRS 3 Business Combinations , the acquisition was accounted for as an asset acquisition. Management has estimated that the fair value of the shares issued as consideration for the asset acquisition at USD $0.20 per share; which is equivalent to the most recently completed financing immediately after the acquisition date above. As such, $1,700,796 (USD $1,500,000) was recorded as the cost of the mine prospecting license. Concurrent to the signing of the Share Exchange Agreement, the Corporation entered into an Escrow Agreement and a Share Redemption Agreement on September 5, 2014, whereby the Corporation was required to redeem 2,500,000 Consideration Shares for USD $0.80 per share by April 30, 2015. In addition, the Corporation had an option to redeem an additional 2,500,000 Consideration Shares for USD $0.80 per share by July 1, 2016. All Consideration Shares were to be held in escrow until shares under Redemption Agreement were redeemed.

Management has determined that the mandatory share redemption constituted a financial liability. On November 15, 2014, management recognized a liability of $2,138,145, which was based on the present value of 2,500,000 mandatory redemption shares at USD $0.80 per share, at a 12% discount rate over a 167-day period from November 15, 2014 to April 30, 2015. The corresponding cost to the share redemption liability was capitalized as an acquisition cost to exploration and evaluation asset. As at September 30, 2020, the share redemption liability has been fully accreted.

On June 29, 2015, the Corporation entered into a new purchase agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) with the Vendors, which supersedes the Share Redemption Agreement and Escrow Agreement. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement the Corporation is required to pay a bonus payment (“Bonus Payment”) in the amount of USD $1.50 per indicated ounce of gold and USD $3.00 per measured ounces of gold as calculated by an independent consultant and included in a report compliant with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 or the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (“the JORC Code”) guidelines (the “Compliant Report”) if and when any such measured and indicated resources are defined in the Compliant Report. For every USD $0.80 of Bonus Payment paid, the Vendors will return to the Corporation on a pro-rata basis, one Consideration Share to a maximum of 7,500,000 Consideration Shares.

Management has determined that the new Purchase Agreement has superseded all prior agreements, including the Share Redemption Agreement. As a result, on June 29, 2015, the share redemption liability, in the amount of $2,258,800, was extinguished. The de-recognition of the share redemption liability resulted in a corresponding increase to shareholders’ equity. As at September 30, 2020, the share redemption liability was $nil.

As a result of the new Purchase Agreement, the Corporation has a contingent liability to pay the Bonus Payment. As at December 31, 2020, the Bonus Payment contingent liability is not yet determinable.

LIQUIDITY

The Corporation’s objective in managing liquidity risk is to maintain sufficient liquidity in order to meet operational and investing requirements at any point in time. The Corporation has historically financed its operations primarily through the sale of share capital by way of private placements.

At December 31, 2020, the Corporation had cash of $120,780 and working capital of $34,809.

Cash used in operating activities was $579,894 during the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $781,732 used in operating activities during the prior period.

Cash flows from investing activities was a $40,000 for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $nil during the prior period. The $40,000 was from the sale of equipment in 2020.

Cash flows from financing activities was $424,029 during the year ended December 31, 2020 and $552,902 for during same period in the prior year

The development of the Corporation in the future will depend on the Corporation’s ability to obtain additional financings. In the past, the Corporation has relied on the sale of equity securities to meet its cash requirements. Future developments, in excess of funds on hand, will depend on the Corporation’s ability to obtain financing through joint venturing of projects, debt financing, equity financing or other means. There can be no assurances that the Corporation will be successful in obtaining any such financing or in joint venturing its property; failure to obtain such additional financing could result in the delay or indefinite postponement of further exploration and development of the Corporation’s properties.

OUTLOOK

The Corporation plans to conduct further exploration on the Borubai Property. Further exploration and corporate costs are expected to be funded through future equity financing.

OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

The Corporation currently has no off-balance sheet arrangements.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

Financial assets and liabilities are classified in the fair value hierarchy according to the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgement and may affect placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.

The hierarchy is as follows:

  • Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date.

  • Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

  • Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs that are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The fair value of cash approximates their carrying value due to the short-term maturity. The Corporation considers that the carrying amount of all its financial assets and financial liabilities recognized at amortized cost in the financial statements approximates their fair value due to the demand nature or short-term maturity of these instruments.

Fair value estimates of financial instruments are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant information about financial markets and specific financial instruments. As these estimates are subjective in nature, involving uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, they cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions can significantly affect estimated fair values.

As December 31, 2020, the Corporation has the does not any have level 2 or 3 financial assets or liabilities.

Financial Risk Factors

The Corporation’s risk exposure and the impact on the Corporation’s financial instruments are summarized below:

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of potential loss to the Corporation if the counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Corporation’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its liquid financial assets including cash and receivables. The Corporation limits exposure to credit risk on liquid financial assets through maintaining its cash with high-credit quality financial institutions.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Corporation will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Corporation currently settles its financial obligations with cash. The ability to do this relies on the Corporation raising equity financing in a timely manner and by maintaining sufficient cash in excess of anticipated needs. The Corporation is exposed to liquidity risk.

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 Corporation has no interest-bearing debt. The Corporation’s sensitivity to interest rates is minimal.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The preparation of the Corporation’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 income 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 may differ significantly from these estimates.

Areas requiring a significant degree of judgment relate to the recoverability and measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities, the ability to continue as a going concern and the capitalization of development costs. Actual results may differ from those estimates and judgments. Areas requiring a significant degree of estimation include allowances for doubtful accounts.

Areas requiring a significant degree of judgement that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements are as follows:

  • Exploration and Evaluation Assets

The net carrying value of each mineral property is reviewed regularly for conditions that suggest potential indications impairment. This review requires significant judgment. Factors considered in the assessment of asset impairment include, but are not limited to, whether there has been a significant adverse change in the legal, regulatory, accessibility, title, environmental or political factors that could affect the property’s value; whether there has been an accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amounts originally expected for the property’s acquisition, development or cost of holding; and whether exploration activities produced results that are not promising such that no more work is being planned in the foreseeable future.

Going Concern

The assessment of the Corporation’s ability to continue as a going concern involves critical judgement based on historical experience and expectations of the Corporation’s ability to generate adequate financing. Significant judgements are used in the Corporation’s assessment of its ability to continue as a going concern.

  • Income taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial statement carrying values of assets and liabilities and their respective income tax bases (“temporary differences”), and losses carried forward.

The determination of the ability of the Corporation to utilize tax loss carry-forwards to offset deferred tax liabilities requires management to exercise judgement and make certain assumptions about the future performance of the Corporation. Management is required to assess whether it is probable that the Corporation will benefit from these prior losses and other deferred tax assets. Change in economic conditions, metal prices and other factors could result in revision to the estimates of the benefits to be realized or the timing of utilizing the losses.

  • Functional Currency

The functional currency for the Corporation's subsidiaries is the Kyrgyzstani Som, the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. Determination of functional currency may involve certain judgments to determine the primary economic environment and the Corporation reconsiders the functional currency of its entities if there is a change in events and conditions which determined the primary economic environment.

  • Valuation of Share-Based Payments

The Corporation uses the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model for valuation of share-based payments. Option pricing models require the input of subjective assumptions including the share price, expected share price volatility, interest rate and forfeiture rate. Changes in the input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate and the Corporation's net loss and equity reserves.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Corporation’s significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 4 to the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.
