Independent Auditor's Report
To the Shareholders of AM Resources Corp.
Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton LLP Suite 2000 National Bank Tower 600 De La Gauchetière Street West Montréal, Quebec H3B 4L8
T 514-878-2691
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of AM Resources Corp. (hereafter ''the Company''), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss, the consolidated statements of changes in equity and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2020 and 2019, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the "Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements" section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Material uncertainty related to going concern
We draw attention to Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, which indicates the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Information other than the consolidated financial statements and the auditor’s report thereon
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information, other than the consolidated financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon, included in Management’s Discussion and Analysis.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
We obtained Management's Discussion and Analysis prior to the date of this auditor’s report. If, based on the work we have performed on this other information, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact in this auditor’s report. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the consolidated financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the
4
aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control;
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control;
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management;
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern;
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation;
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
5
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Louis Berardi.

AM Resources Corp. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 (In Canadian dollars)
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
AM Resources Corp. (collectively with its subsidiaries, the ‘’Company’’) was incorporated on October 24, 2007 under the Canada Business Corporations Act.
AM Resources Corp. is trading on the TSX Venture Exchange under symbol AMR.
The principal address and records office of the Company is located at 410 St-Nicolas, suite 236, Montreal, Qc, H2Y 2P5.
The Company specializes in exploration of coal, hydrocarbons and gold mining sites located in Colombia.
The consolidated financial statements for the reporting year ended December 31, 2020 were approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on May 4, 2021.
2. GOING CONCERN ASSUMPTION
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of the going concern assumption, meaning the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
As at December 31, 2020, the Company has not yet determined whether its mineral properties contain mineral deposits that are economically recoverable. The Company has a deficit of $ 6,196,130 ($ 5,634,802 at December 31, 2019) and a negative working capital of $ 1,668,877 (negative working capital of $ 1,120,170 at December 31, 2019), which is not sufficient to meet the Company’s operating activities. These material uncertainties cast a significant doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company’s ability to continue its operations is dependent upon obtaining additional financing necessary to continue the exploration of its mineral properties, to pay for general and administrative expenses and to continue to have the support from its suppliers and creditors. Although the Company has managed to do so in the past, there is no guarantee that it will manage to obtain additional financing in the future. These material uncertainties cast significant doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, the revenues and expenses disclosed, and the classification used in the statement of financial position that would be necessary if the going concern assumption was not appropriate.
3. STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE WITH IFRS
The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with IFRS.
Am Resources Corp. is the ultimate parent of the Company.
4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
4.1 Overall considerations and Basis of evaluation
These consolidated financial statements are prepared using the historical cost method.
4.2 Accounting standard issued but not yet adopted
At the date of authorization of these financial statements, several new, but yet not effective, Standards and amendments to existing Standards, and Interpretations have been published by the IASB but are not yet effective. None of these Standards or amendments to existing Standards have been adopted early by the Company.
Management anticipates that all relevant pronouncements will be adopted for the first period beginning on or after the effective date of the pronouncement. New Standards, amendments and Interpretations not adopted in the current year have not been disclosed as they are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
4.3 Basis of consolidation
The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the parent company and all of its subsidiaries. The parent company controls a subsidiary if it is exposed or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the subsidiary and whether it has the ability to affect those returns through power it holds over the subsidiary. All subsidiaries have a reporting date of December 31.
All transactions and balances between companies are eliminated upon consolidation, including unrealized gains and losses on transactions between group companies. Amounts reported in the financial statements of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the accounting policies adopted by the Company.
Subsidiaries
Details of the Company’s subsidiaries as at December 31, 2020 are as follows:
| Name of subsidiaries Status AM Resources SAS Active Asfaltitas Colombianas SAS Active AM Resources Trading Corp Inactive |
Country of incorporation Colombia Colombia Canada |
Interest and voting 100 % 60 % 100 % |
Power held |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100 % 60 % 100 % |

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
4.4 Foreign currency translation
Functional and presentation currency
The consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollar, which is the functional currency of the parent company and AM Resources Trading Corp. The functional currency for AM Resources SAS and Asfaltitas Colombianas SAS (“ASF”) is the Colombian Pesos.
Foreign currency transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency of the Company or its subsidiaries, using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions (spot exchange rate). Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the remeasurement of monetary items denominated in foreign currency at year-end exchange rates are recognized in profit or loss.
Non-monetary items are not re-translated at year-end and are measured at historical cost (translated using the exchange rates at the transaction date), except for non-monetary items measured at fair value which are translated using the exchange rates at the date when fair value was determined.
Foreign operations
In the consolidated financial statements, all assets, liabilities of the subsidiaries have been translated into Canadian dollars at the closing rate at the time of consolidation. Revenues and expenses have been translated at the average rate in effect during the reporting period. Translation differences are recognized in other comprehensive loss in equity. On disposal of a foreign operation, the related cumulative translation differences recognized in equity are reclassified to profit or loss and recognized as part of the gain or loss on disposal.
4.5 Financial Instruments
Recognition and derecognition
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument.
Financial assets are derecognized when the contractual rights to cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when the financial asset and all risks and rewards are transferred.
A financial liability is derecognized when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expired.
Classification and initial measurement of financial assets
Financial assets are initially measured at fair value adjusted for transaction costs.
Financial assets are classified at into the following categories:
-
Amortised cost
-
Fair value through profit or loss
-
Fair value through other comprehensive income
In the periods presented the Company does not have any financial assets categorised as fair value through profit or loss or through other comprehensive income.
The classification is determined by both:
-
The entity’s business model for managing the financial asset
-
The contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.
All income and expenses relating to financial assets that are recognized in profit or loss are presented within the financial costs, financial income or other financial items, except for impairment of trade receivables which is presented within other expenses.
Subsequent measurement of financial assets
Financial assets are measured at amortised cost if the assets meet the following conditions:
-
They are held within a business model whose objective is to hold the financial assets and collect its contractual cash flows
-
The contractual terms of the financial assets give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest in the principal amount outstanding
After initial recognition, these are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Company’s cash, receivables and other financial assets (except for commodity taxes and income tax installments receivable) fall into this category of financial instruments.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
4.5 Financial Instruments (continued)
Impairment of financial assets
IFRS 9’s impairment requirements use of forward-looking information to recognise expected credit losses – the ‘expected credit loss (ECL) model’. Instruments within the scope of the requirements included advances measured at amortised cost and trade receivables. The Company considers a broader range of information when assessing credit risk and measuring expected credit losses, including past events, current conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the expected collectability of the future cash flows of the instrument.
In applying this forward-looking approach, a distinction is made between:
-
financial instruments that have not deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial recognition or that have low credit risk (‘Stage 1’) and
-
financial instruments that have deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial recognition and whose credit risk is not low (‘Stage 2’).
‘Stage 3’ would cover financial assets that have objective evidence of impairment at the reporting date.
‘12-month expected credit losses’ are recognised for the first category while ‘lifetime expected credit losses’ are recognised for the second category.
Measurement of the expected credit losses is determined by a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses over the expected life of the financial instrument.
Trade accounts receivables
The Company makes use of a simplified approach in accounting for trade accounts receivables and records the loss allowance as lifetime expected credit losses. These are the expected shortfalls in contractual cash flows, considering the potential for default at any point during the life of the financial instrument. In calculating, the Company uses its historical experience, external indicators and forward-looking information to calculate the expected credit losses using a provision matrix. The Company assess impairment of trade receivables on a collective basis as they possess shared credit risk characteristics they have been grouped based on the days past due.
Classification and measurement of financial liabilities
The Company’s financial liabilities include accounts payable and accrued liabilities (except employes benefits), debenture, promissory notes and loans and long term debt. Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value, and, where applicable, adjusted for transaction costs unless the Company designated a financial liability at fair value through profit or loss. Subsequently, financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. All interest-related charges and, if applicable, changes in an instrument’s fair value that are reported in profit or loss are included within finance costs or finance income.
4.6 Property, equipment and intangible assets
Property and equipment are stated at historical cost, less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes all costs directly attributable to the acquisition.
The depreciation is recognised in profit or loss based on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of each item of property, plant and equipment. The following are the estimated useful lives for the current and comparative year.
| Machinery | and equipment | 10 years |
|---|---|---|
| Vehicules | 5 years | |
| Computers | and communication equipment | 3 years |
4.7 Exploration and evaluation expenditures, and exploration and evaluation assets
Exploration and evaluation expenditures are costs incurred in the course of the initial search of mineral resources before the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource are demonstrable. Costs incurred before the legal right to undertake exploration and evaluation activities are recognized in profit or loss when they are incurred.
Once the legal right to undertake exploration and evaluation activities has been obtained, all costs of acquiring mineral rights, expenses related to the exploration and evaluation of mining properties, less refundable tax credits related to these expenses, are recognized as exploration and evaluation assets.
Expenses related to exploration and evaluation include topographical, geological, geochemical and geophysical studies, exploration drilling, trenching, sampling, general expenses, financial charges, management fees and other costs related to the evaluation of the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource.
The various costs are capitalized on a property-by-property basis pending determination of the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource. These assets are recognized as intangible assets and are carried at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. No depreciation expenses are recognized for these assets during the exploration and evaluation phase.
Whenever a mining property is considered no longer viable, or is abandoned, the capitalized amounts are written down to their recoverable amounts, the difference is then immediately recognized in profit or loss.
When technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource are demonstrable, exploration and evaluation assets related to the mining property are transferred to property and equipment in Mining assets under construction. Before the reclassification, exploration and evaluation assets are tested for impairment and any impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss before reclassification.
To date, neither the technical feasibility nor the commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource has been demonstrate.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
4.7 Exploration and evaluation expenditures, and exploration and evaluation assets (continued)
Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to the mining properties in which it holds an interest, in accordance with industry practices for the current stage of exploration of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee the validity of the Company’s titles. Property titles may be subject to unregistered prior agreements and non-compliance with regulatory requirements.
4.8 Equity
Share capital represents the amount received on the issue of shares. If shares are issued when options and warrants are exercised, the share capital account also comprises the costs previously recorded as contributed surplus and warrants. In addition, if shares were issued as consideration for the acquisition of a mineral property or some other form of non-monetary assets, they are measured at their fair value according to the quoted price on the day of the conclusion of the agreement.
Unit placements
Proceeds from unit placements are allocated between shares and warrants issued on a prorate basis. Proceeds are allocated to shares and warrants according to their relative weighted fair value. The share’s fair value is determined using the quoted price on the stock exchange and the warrants fair value is estimated using the Black & Scholes pricing model.
Other elements of equity
Contributed surplus includes charges related to share options and the value of expired warrants as well as the conversion option of convertible debentures. Warrants include the value of outstanding warrants. When share options and warrants are exercised, the related compensation cost and value are transferred to share capital. Deficit includes all current and prior period retained profits or losses and share issuance costs, net of any underlying income tax benefit from these issuance costs.
Other comprehensive loss
Accumulated other comprehensive loss includes all foreign currency translation adjustments.
4.9 Share-based compensation
The Company operates an equity-settled share-based payment plan for its eligible directors, employees and consultants. The Company’s plan is not cash-settled.
All goods and services received in exchange for the grant of any share-based payments are measured at their fair values, unless that fair value cannot be estimated reliably.
If the Company cannot estimate reliably the fair value of the goods or services received, the entity shall measure their value indirectly by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted. For the transactions with employees and others providing similar services, the Company measured the fair value of the services received by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted.
All equity-settled share-based payments (except warrants to brokers) are ultimately recognized as an expense in the profit or loss or capitalized as an exploration and evaluation asset, depending on the nature of the payment with a corresponding credit to Contributed surplus, in equity. Equity-settled share-based payments to brokers, in respect of an equity financing are recognized as issuance cost of the equity instruments with a corresponding credit to Contributed surplus, in equity.
If vesting periods or vesting conditions apply, the expense is allocated over the vesting period, based on the best available estimate of the number of share options expected to vest. Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to become exercisable. Estimates are subsequently revised if there is any indication that the number of share options expected to vest differs from previous estimates. Any cumulative adjustment prior to vesting is recognized in the current period. No adjustment is made to any expense recognized in prior period if share options ultimately exercised are different to that estimated on vesting.
4.10 Impairment of Long-lived Assets
Long-lived assets are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Some assets are tested individually for impairment and some are tested at a cash generating unit level. The recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs for sale and its value in use (present value of the future cash flows expected). An impairment loss is recognized when their carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount. The amount of the impairment loss is determined as the excess of the carrying value of the asset over its recoverable amount.
4.11 Provisions
A provision is a liability for which the maturity or the amount is uncertain. A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. As at December 31, 2020, there is no provision accounted for in the statement of financial position.
The Company’s operations are governed by government environment protection legislation. Environmental consequences are difficult to identify in terms of amounts, timetable and impact. As of the reporting date, management believes that the Company’s operations are in compliance with current law and regulations. Site restoration costs currently incurred are negligible. When the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource have been demonstrated, a restoration provision will be recognized in the cost of the mining property when there is constructive commitment that has resulted from past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be measured with sufficient reliability.
All provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
4.12 Basic and Diluted Loss per Share
Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year.
Diluted loss per share is calculated by adjusting the loss attributable to common shareholders of the Company and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares which include options and warrants. It is assumed that the dilutive potential ordinary shares were converted into ordinary shares at the average Market price at beginning of the year or the date of issue of potential ordinary shares, if later.
To calculate diluted loss per share, an entity shall assume dilutive options and dilutive warrants were exercised. The assumed proceeds from these instruments shall be regarded as having been received from issuance of common shares at the average market price of common shares during the year.
Diluted loss per share equals basic loss per share given the anti-dilutive options and warrants.
4.13 Mining Properties Options Agreements
Options on interests in mining properties acquired by the Company are recorded at the value of the consideration paid, including other future benefit given up but excluding the commitment for future expenditures. Commitment for future expenditures does not meet the definition of a liability and thus are not accounted for immediately. Expenditures are accounted for only when incurred by the Company.
When the Company sells interest in a mining property, it uses the carrying amount of the interest before the sale of the option as the carrying amount for the portion of the property retained, and credits any cash consideration received against the carrying of this portion (any excess is recognized as a gain in profit or loss). The Company does not recognize expenses related to the exploration and evaluation performed on the property by the acquirer.
4.14 Segment Disclosures
In identifying its operating segments, management generally uses the nature of the activities of mining sites. The Company currently operates in one segment: the exploration of mining properties.
Segments are reported on the same basis as the internal information reported to the chief decision makers in allocating resources to operating segments and assessing the performance of these segments. The chief decision makers are represented by the management.
4.15 Leases
The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. The Company recognizes the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
4.16 Revenues
Sale of Coal and Sale of transportation services
Revenues from the sale of coal and/or transportation services rendered during the ordinary activities are recognized at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenues from the sale of coal is recognized at the point of time when the customers obtain control of the product. Control is achieved when the coal is delivered to the customer, we have a present right to payment for the product, significant risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the customer according to contracts terms and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer’s acceptance of the product. The Company has revenue from transportation services related to the transportation of the coal that is sold that is recognized when services have been provided. The price of the transportation services is fixed and negotiated once a year with the client.
4.17 Income taxes and deferred taxes
Tax expense recognized in profit or loss comprises the sum of deferred tax and current tax not recognized directly in other comprehensive income or equity.
Current income tax assets and/or liabilities comprise those obligations to, or claims from, fiscal authorities relating to the current or prior reporting periods, that are unpaid at the reporting date. Current tax is payable on taxable profit, which differs from profit or loss in the financial statements. Calculation of current tax is based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
However, since the Company is in exploration phase and has no taxable income, tax expense recognized in profit or loss is currently comprised only of deferred tax.

4.0 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
4.17 Income taxes and deferred taxes (suite)
Deferred income taxes are calculated using the liability method on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. However, deferred tax is not provided on the initial recognition of goodwill or on the initial recognition of an asset or liability unless the related transaction is a business combination or affects tax or accounting profit.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated, without discounting, at tax rates that are expected to apply to their respective period of realization, provided they are enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that the underlying tax loss or deductible temporary difference will be utilized against future taxable income. Deferred tax liabilities are always provided for in full.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only when the Company has a right and intention to set off current tax assets and liabilities from the same taxation authority.
Changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognized as deferred income tax expense in profit or loss, except where they relate to items that are recognized directly in other comprehensive income and in equity, in which case the related deferred tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income and in equity.
4.18 Non-controlling interests
Non-controlling interests (‘’NCI’’) represent equity interests owned by outside parties. NCI maybe initially measured either at fair value of at the NCI’s proportionate share of the recognized amounts of the acquirees identifiable net assets. The choice of measurement is made on a transaction by transaction basis. The share of net assets attributable to non-controlling interests is presented as a component of equity. Their share of net income and comprehensive income is recognized directly in equity. Total Comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the shareholders of the Company and to the NCI even if this results in the NCI having a deficit balance. Changes in the parent company’s ownership interest that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions.
4.19 Significant Accounting Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies as well as the carrying amount of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed regularly. Any revision to accounting estimates is recognized in the period during which the estimates is revised and in future periods affected by these revisions.
4.19.1 Key sources of estimation uncertainty
Impairment of exploration and evaluation assets
Exploration and evaluation assets shall be assessed for an impairment test when facts and circumstances suggest that their carrying amount may exceed recoverable amount. When facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount, the Company shall measure, present and disclose any resulting impairment loss. Indications of impairment as well as the evaluation of recoverable amount of exploration and evaluation assets require significant judgment and estimation. Management considers various factors including, but are not limited to, financial and human resources available, exploration budgets planned, importance and results of exploration work done previously, industry and economic trends and price of minerals.
Share-based payments
To estimate expenses for share-based payments, it is necessary to select an appropriate valuation model and obtain the inputs necessary for the valuation model chosen. The Company estimated the volatility of its own shares or of shares of similar companies and the expected life and the exercise period of options and warrants granted. The model used by the Company is the Black-Scholes valuation model (see note 13).
Provisions and contingent liabilities
The judgment is used to determine whether a past event has created a liability that should be recorded in the financial statements or whether it should be presented as a contingent liability. Quantify these liabilities involves judgments and estimates.
These judgments and estimates are based on several factors, such as the nature of the claim or dispute, legal procedures and the potential amount to be paid, legal advice obtained, previous experience and the likelihood of the realization of a loss.
4.19.2 Significant management judgment
The following are significant management judgments in applying the accounting policies of the Company that have the most significant effect on the financial statements.
Going concern
The assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and to raise sufficient funds to pay for its ongoing operating expenditures, meets its liabilities for the ensuing year and to fund planned and contractual exploration and evaluation programs, involves judgments based on historical experience and other factors including expectation of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. See Note 2 for more information.

13.1 Share capital
Authorized
Unlimited number of common shares without par value
Changes in the Company capital stock were as follows:
On May 30, 2019, the Company acquired a 60% interest in Asphaltite Colombia SAS (‘’ASF’’) that holds the Esperanza asphaltite mining property. The Esperanza property consists of a mineral concession that covers an area of 298 hectares in the western portion of the department of Norte de Santander in Colombia. The Company issued 4,700,000 common shares ($ 423,000).
13.2 Share purchase options
The shareholders of the Company approved a share-based payment plan to purchase shares (the “Plan”) that members of the Board may grant options to purchase shares to its directors, officers, employees and consultants to purchase common shares of the Company. Conditions and the exercise price of each stock option is determined by the board of directors.
The purchase price of common shares upon exercise of each option granted under the plan, will be the price set for this option by the Board at the time of grant of each option. The term of the options cannot exceed 5 years.
The options vest at the date of grant, except for options granted to consultants doing investors’ relationship activities, for which the vesting period is twelve months.
The plan provides that the maximum number of common shares in the capital of the Company which may be reserved for issuance under the plan may not exceed 10 % of the publicly traded shares issued and outstanding on the grant date of the options (on a non-diluted basis), which represents 6,159,964. The total number of shares reserved for options exercised in favor of the same person must not represent in any 12 months period, more than 5% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company this number is calculated to the date the option is granted.
The total number of shares reserved for options exercised in favor of consultants and people that provide services of investor relations must not represent in any 12 month period, more than 2% of common shares issued and outstanding shares of the Company, this number being calculated at the date the option is granted.
All share-based payments will be settled in equity. The Company has no legal or contractive obligation to repurchase or settle the options in cash.
The Company’s share options are as follows for the reporting periods presented:

17. FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES (continued)
The financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value in accordance with the fair value hierarchy. This hierarchy groups financial assets and liabilities into three levels based on significance of inputs used in measuring the fair value of the financial assets and liabilities.
The Company defines the fair value hierarchy under which its financial instruments are valued as follows:
-
Level 1 includes unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the reporting date;
-
Level 2 includes inputs other than quoted prices in Level 1 that are observable for assets 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 carrying value of cash, receivable and other financial assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, promissory notes and loans and debentures are considered to be a reasonable approximation of their fair value because of the short-term maturity and contractual terms of these instruments. The Fair value of long-term debt has been determined by discounting future cash flows using rates in effect at the end of the year. The fair value approximates the carrying amount.
18. LOSS PER SHARE
The calculation of basic loss per share is based on the loss for the year divided by the weighted average number of shares in circulation during the year. In calculating the diluted loss per share, dilutive potential ordinary shares such as share options, have not been included as they would have the effect of decreasing the loss per share. Decreasing the loss per share would be antidilutive.
There have been no other transactions involving ordinary shares between the reporting date of the disclosure authorization of these consolidated financial statements.
19. INCOME TAXES
The income tax expense attributable to earnings differs from the amounts computed by applying the combined federal and provincial income tax rate of 26,5% (26,6 % in 2019) to earnings before income taxes as a result of the follows:
| 2020 $ Loss before income taxes (559,752) Expected income tax recovery (148,334) Increase (decrease) in income taxes resulting from: Temporary difference not recorded 149,217 Share-based payments - Non-deductible expenses - Tax rate difference from a foreign subsidiary (10,748) Change in differed tax rate - Other 9,865 - Composition of deferred income taxed in the consolidated statement of comprehension income: Inception and reversal of temporary differences Unrecognized deferred tax assets Change in deferred tax rate |

23. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT RISKS
The company is exposed to various risks in relation to financial instruments. The Company’s financial assets and liabilities are summarized in Note 17. The main types of risks the Company is exposed to are credit risk and liquidity risk.
a) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that a party to a financial instrument will default on one of its obligations and thereby cause the other party to incur a financial loss. Cash, trade accounts receivables, advances receivable are the Company's principal financial instruments that are potentially subject to credit risk. The credit risk on advances receivable is limited since the contracting party is the private Company holding the Mina Luz property in Colombia. As a result, the Company does not expect the other parties to default. The book values represent the Company's maximum exposure to credit risk.
Trade account receivables
In assessing expected credit losses, trade receivables have been measured on a collective basis since they share common credit risk characteristics. They have been grouped according to the number of days they are past due and the geographic location of the client.
Expected credit loss rates are based on historical credit loss rates in prior years and current and prospective macroeconomic data that affect the client’s ability to pay amounts owing. Trade receivables are written off, in other words derecognized, when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Failure to pay within 180 days of the date of invoice and no commitment to the Company regarding an alternative payment arrangement are, among other things, considered as indicators that there is no expectation reasonable recovery. Based on the above, expected credit losses over the total life of trade receivables as at December 31, 2020 are insignificant.
Advances to individuals, private companies and companies owned by the majority shareholder
All Company advances measured at amortized cost are considered to have a low credit risk given that the Company regularly validates the credit quality. The impairment loss adjustment recorded is based on expected losses for 12 months. This one is not significant.
b) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet the obligations associated with its financial liabilities. Liquidity risk management serves to maintain a sufficient amount of cash and to ensure that the Company has sufficient financing sources. The Company establishes budgets to ensure it has the necessary funds to fulfill its obligations.
When the counterparty has a choice of when an amount is paid, the liability is included on the earliest date in which the payment can be required.
As at December 31, 2020, the working capital is negative of $ 1,668,877 (negative working capital of $ 1,120,170 at December 31, 2019). In order to continue its operation, the Company will have to find additional fund and despite the fact it has been successful in the past, there is no guarantee for the future. Actually, there remains a significant risk that the Company is unable to find cash if even the management is optimistic to find the necessary cash for the implementation of its strategic plan.
