3.0 BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND CONTINUITY OF OPERATIONS

The Company, incorporated under Canada Business Corporation Act, is a mining exploration company with exploration activities conducted in Colombia.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded net loss of \$ 614,192 (Net loss of \$ 264,019 as at June 30, 2021). Besides the usual needs for working capital, the Company must obtain funds to be able to meet its existing commitments under the exploration programs and to pay its overhead and administrative costs.

Management is periodically seeking to obtain financing through the issuance of equity securities, exercise of outstanding warrants for common shares and options to purchase shares in order to continue operations, and despite the fact it has been successful in the past, there is no guarantee of future success.

If management were unable to secure new funding, the Company may then be unable to continue its operations and the amounts carried as assets may be less than its amounts reflected in these financial statements.

Although management has taken steps to verify the ownership rights in mining properties in which the Company holds an interest in accordance with industry standards for the current stage of exploration of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee the title property for the Company. The title may be subject to unregistered prior agreements and may not comply with regulatory requirements.

The Company's financial statements were prepared according to the International financial reporting standards (IFRS) and with the going concern assumption. They do not reflect adjustments that should be made to the book value of assets and liabilities, the reported amounts of income and expenses and the classification of balance sheet if the going concern assumption was unfounded. These adjustments could be important.

The recent Covid-19 pandemic may impact the Company's ability to carry out its exploration program.

These events are likely to cause significant changes to the assets or liabilities in the coming year or to have a significant impact on future operations. Following these events, the Company has taken and will continue to take action to minimize the impact. However, it is impossible to determine the financial implications of these events for the moment.

15.0 CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND OFF-BALANCE-SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

16.0 JUDGMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

When preparing the financial statements, management makes a number of judgments, estimates and assumptions about recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses.

16.1 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.

Recognition of deferred income tax assets and measurement of income tax expense

Management continually evaluates the likelihood that its deferred tax assets could be realized. This requires management to assess whether it is probable that sufficient taxable income will exist in the future to utilize these losses within the carry-forward period. By its nature, this assessment requires significant judgment. To date, management has not recognized any deferred tax assets in excess of existing taxable temporary differences expected to reverse within the carry-forward period.

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 programs, involves significant judgment based on historical experience and other factors including expectation of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

16.2 Estimation uncertainly

Information about estimates and assumptions that have the most significant effect on recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses is provided below. Actual results may be substantially different.

Impairment of exploration and evaluation assets

Determining if there are any facts and circumstances indicating impairment loss or reversal of impairment losses is a subjective process involving judgment and a number of estimates and assumptions in many cases.

When an indication of impairment loss or reversal of an impairment loss exists, the recoverable amount of the individual asset or the cash-generating units must be estimated.

In assessing impairment, the Company must make some estimates and assumptions regarding future circumstances, in particular, whether an economically viable extraction operation can be established, the probability that the expenses will be recover from either future exploitation or sale when the activities have not reached a stage that permits a reasonable assessment of the existence of reserves, the Company's capacity to obtain financial resources necessary to complete the evaluation and development and to renew permits. Estimates and assumptions may change if new information becomes available.

If, after expenditure is capitalized, information becomes available suggesting that the recovery of expenditures is unlikely, the amount capitalized is written off in profit or loss in the period when the new information becomes available.

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 and the expected life and the exercise period of options and warrants granted. The model used by the Company is the Black-Scholes.

Provisions and contingent liabilities

The judgment is used to determine whether a past event has created a liability that should be recognized in the consolidated financial statements or whether it should be disclosed as a contingent liability. Quantifying these liabilities involves judgments and estimates. These judgments 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 received, previous experience and the probability of the realization of a loss. Many of these factors are sources of estimation uncertainty.

19.0 BUSINESS RISKS

The company is exposed to various risks in relation to financial instruments. The Company's financial assets and liabilities are summarized in Note 24. 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, other receivables, advances and loans receivable are the Company's principal financial instruments that are potentially subject to credit risk.. The credit risk on loans 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.

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 June 30, 2022 are insignificant.

Advances to individuals and private companies

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.

a) 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 June 30, 2022, the working capital is \$ 945,634. 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.

b) Interest rate risk

The long term debt and debentures bear interest at a fixed rate and the Company is, therefore, exposed to the risk of changes in fair value resulting from interest rate fluctuations.

c) Foreign currency risk

The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk arising from the degree of volatility of the exchange rate. The Company is exposed to the foreign currency risk through is bank account, is advances to private companies and is debenture that are initially in US dollars. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign exchange risk.

Furthermore, an intercompany balance of \$ 2,167,806 between AM Resources SAS and AM Resources Corp exposes AM Resources Corp. to currency fluctuations between the Colombian pesos and the Canadian dollar.

20.0 OUTLOOK

The management intends to:

-Implement better internal control procedures

-Analyze offers to potential disposals and potential acquisitions of mining assets

-Finance its activities
