CORPORATE STRUCTURE
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia on February 19, 2013 as "Arctic Fox Interactive Ltd." On November 6, 2020, a special meeting of the shareholders of the Company was held and a resolution to change the Company's business from a technology company involved in the development of mobile gaming to a mining company initially engaged in mineral exploration was approved. On November 23, 2020, the Company changed its name to "Arctic Fox Ventures Inc." The head office and registered and records office of the Company is located at 905-1030 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6E 2Y3.
As at the date of this Prospectus, the Company has no subsidiaries.
BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY
General Description of the Business
The Company is a junior mining exploration company. Its current focus is to conduct the proposed exploration program on the Spius Property in the province of British Columbia as more particularly set out in the Technical Report, along with continuing to identify and potentially acquire additional property interests, assess their potential and engage in exploration activities. Should the Spius Property not be deemed viable, the Company shall explore opportunities to acquire interests in other properties.
Change in Business
The Board of Directors is of the view that recent and significant global economic developments have created geopolitical circumstances that will result in commercially attractive mining opportunities becoming available to management teams with experience and resources. These opportunities will potentially allow the Corporation to deliver shareholder value to Shareholders over the next 3-5 years and it is proposed that the Corporation use its cash position and management experience to find mining operations that will combine low cost, long life production in politically safe jurisdictions.
The Corporation has historically been a developer of mobile gaming. The Corporation attempted to create a commercial version of its developing technologies, however independent feedback from the Canadian Securities Exchange regarding the Corporation's current operations indicated that the current business is not sufficiently developed to proceed to the public markets; and the Board feels it is required to obtain additional capital.
Given this independent feedback and recent global economic developments, the Board has therefore concluded that it is in the best interest of the Corporation at this time to complete the Change of Business to a mining issuer and seek commercial projects in that sector. Thus, it is proposed that the Corporation will use its cash position and management experience to find mining operations that combine low cost, long life production in politically safe jurisdictions. Alongside this new initiative and direction, the Corporation will continue to advance its patent applications and seek to commercialize the intellectual property it has accumulated as a technology company.
The principal reason for the Change of Business is to acquire the Property so that the Corporation can operate as a mining issuer and seek a listing on the Canadian Securities Exchange.
Mining Exploration
Due to the Company's management team's experience and resources, certain attractive mining opportunities have been made available to the Company. The opportunities will potentially allow the Company to deliver shareholder value over the next 3 to 5 years by using the Company's cash position and management experience to find suitable exploration projects in politically safe jurisdictions. As a result, the Company changed its business to be that of a mining issuer.
On October 20, 2020, the Company entered into a mineral property option agreement whereby the Company has the right to earn a 60% interest in certain mineral claims located in the Nicola and New Westminster Mining Districts in British Columbia, Canada.
To earn this interest, the Company is to make cash payments totalling $60,000, issue a total of 1,000,000 common shares, and incur exploration expenditures on the property aggregating $550,000 as follows:
Cash consideration to be paid:
- $15,000 to be paid within 5 business days of the Company being listed on the TSX Venture Exchange or the Canadian Stock Exchange ("Listing Date");
- a further $15,000 on or before December 31, 2021; and
- a further $30,000 on or before December 31, 2022.
Common shares to be issued:
- 200,000 shares within 10 days of the Listing Date;
- a further 200,000 shares on or before December 31, 2021; and
- a further 600,000 shares on or before December 31, 2022.
Exploration expenditures to be incurred:
- $150,000 on or before December 31, 2021; and
- $550,000 in aggregate on or before December 31, 2022
Employees and other Service Providers
As of the date of this Prospectus, the Company currently has no employees, and will hire independent contractors to carry out its Phase I of the recommended exploration program as outlined in the Technical Report, as well as a Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer who are engaged as independent contractors. These contractors are engaged on an as needed basis, and they are paid upon completion of each task.
Competitive Conditions
The Company competes with other entities in the search for and acquisition of mineral properties. As a result of this competition, the majority of which is with companies with greater financial resources, the Company may be unable to acquire attractive properties in the future on terms it considers acceptable. The Company also competes for financing with other resource companies, many of whom have more advanced properties. There is no assurance that additional capital or other types of financing will be available to the Company if needed or that, if available, the terms of such financing will be favourable to the Company. See "Risk Factors".
Company's History Over the Last Two Years
The Company was previously a technology company that focused on the development and potential subsequent commercialization of apps in the mobile gaming industry, and has one game currently developed, "After, the Lawless" ("After"). Although there has been a change in business, the Company will continue to further the development of its patent applications and seek to commercialize the intellectual property it has accumulated as a technology company.
Over the past two years, the Company has been primarily focused on refining its initial gaming app, After, developing its internal team and external network of contractors and consultants, and raising capital for ongoing operations and future development including the formal launch of After.
To date, the Company has spent $355,561 on developing its initial game, which is comprised of the following expenses:
| Consulting | $121,721 |
|---|---|
| Software Development | $204,252 |
| Content | $22,034 |
| Server / Hosting | $7,554 |
| Total | $355,561 |
Most of these costs ($325,215) were incurred in financial years of the Company ending on or before June 30, 2017, as it was during this time that the primary development of the game was conducted. Since that time, the Company has incurred lower costs due to limited resources and, while costs during this period have been incurred in the same general areas as noted above, they have been more focused on refining the game and conducting research to explore other areas of interest relating to the game.
In particular, the Company had conducted research on and had begun some initial exploration into the possibility of integrating blockchain technology into its existing game, as well as finetuning and working through "bugs" in the game. The Company had engaged developers to study how the blockchain technology functions, and examine some of the available programming languages currently available. However, the Company has not yet integrated blockchain technology into its existing game and there is currently no definitive timeline for doing so. The purpose of the prior research activities was to explore the possibilities of integration into the Company's game and to research where the technology was at that point, in order to find viable and realistic integration points. Specifically, this research involved an examination of how the technology worked, possible integration points into the Company's iPhone App, the speed of the network, the costs involved, and potential pitfalls. This included spending time changing internal code to make this possible. A proof of concept was created, but the blockchain technology was still at a relatively early stage of development at the time and it was not feasible to implement it then in a manner that would be viable for the Company.
Now that the Company has changed its business to a mineral exploration focused company, it anticipates conducting Phase I of its exploration program as described under the heading "Use of Available Funds" below.
Since June 30, 2019, the Company has continued to focus on developing its management team and raising capital to fund its operations and continued business objectives.
In July 2019, the Company issued 3,500,000 Common Shares through a non-brokered private placement financing at a price of $0.05 per Common Share, for proceeds of $175,000.

Geo., an independent consulting geologist and member in good standing of the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of British Columbia.
SUMMARY
Introduction
Arctic Fox Ventures Inc. ("Arctic Fox") has retained Gordon Gibson, P.Geo. to produce a National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report (or the "Report") for the Spius Project ("Spius" or the "Property") in British Columbia, Canada. This Report was prepared for Arctic Fox to satisfy CSE disclosure requirements related to Arctic Fox's option to acquire up to a 60% interest in the Spius project from Pacific Ridge Exploration Ltd. ("Pacific Ridge") as described in Section 4.0.
This represents the first NI43-101 Report on the Property, summarizing work performed up to October 31, 2020.
Property Description and Location
The Property is in southwestern British Columbia, approximately 10 km east-northeast of Boston Bar and 40 km southwest of Merritt, BC, in the New Westminster and Nicola Mining Divisions. The Property comprises 7 mineral claims covering 2,205.5 ha. Pacific Ridge is the recorded owner of a 100% interest in the claims while the beneficial owners are John A. Chapman (25%), Gerald G. Carlson (25% - held on behalf of KGE Management Ltd.), Christopher R. Paul (25%) and Michael A. Blady (25%).
Under the terms of an agreement dated October 22, 2020 Arctic Fox has an option to acquire up to a 60% interest in the Spius copper porphyry project from Pacific Ridge. The agreement is subject to regulatory approval. The Property is subject to underlying royalties of 3% of net smelter returns
Geological Setting and Mineralization
The Property lies within the Eagle Plutonic Complex. Rocks within the Property are mainly biotite granodiorite, with younger feldspar porphyry and quartz-feldspar porphyry intruded by felsic and lamprophyre dikes. The Copper Zone, in the central part of the Property, is defined by a strong copper soil geochemical anomaly, with associated anomalous molybdenum, with a surrounding pyritic alteration zone. Although the Copper Zone is mainly till covered, mineralization has been observed mainly in float and occasionally in outcrop and includes secondary copper minerals, including malachite and azurite, locally chalcopyrite in stockwork veins and disseminations and minor molybdenite.
Exploration
Arctic Fox has not carried out exploration on the Property.
Historical exploration dates to the 1960's, when Orequest Exploration Syndicate (1969), Murray Mining (1969), Arrow Inter-America (1970), Brascan Resources (1971 and 1974) and Canadian Occidental Petroleum (1976) explored the claims. Work during this period included geological mapping, soil sampling, IP and EM geophysical surveys, road building, trenching and drilling (10 percussion drill holes and 12 diamond drill holes), all less than 100 m depth. Unfortunately, the data from most of this work was not recorded in assessment reports and has now been lost.
In 2019, Pacific Ridge completed a four-hole, 1,087 m diamond drilling program to test the Copper Zone. Holes were targeted to test the strongest soil geochemical values, guided by the 2018 IP survey results. The 2019 drill program confirmed the presence of porphyry style mineralized system associated with a porphyritic biotite granodiorite in the upper or northern part of the Copper Zone. Mineralization occurs mainly within the foliated biotite granodiorite, but both mineralization and alteration are spatially associated with the porphyritic granodiorite, which appears to be synmineralization and likely the causative intrusion. The biotite latite porphyry occurs within the porphyritic granodiorite, appears to be co-magmatic, but it is unmineralized and therefore postmineral.
In 2020, Pacific Ridge exposed high-grade mineralization (the High Grade Zone) in bedrock approximately 150 m north and upslope from the 2019 drilling, and collected 11 rock samples. The high-grade copper mineralization was noted to occur in a porphyry unit that cut the Eagle Granodiorite and was in turn cut by a pegmatitic unit.
Expenditures by Pacific Ridge since acquiring the Property in 2018 have amounted to $317,850.
Conclusions and Recommendations
The best intersection from the 2019 Pacific Ridge diamond drilling program occurred at the bottom of hole SP-19-03, drilled at the northern end of the Copper Zone. It encountered 51.8 m averaging .099% Cu from 224.3 to 273 m, including 39.0 m at .113% Cu from 237-276 m. The distribution of mineralization and alteration in the 2019 drill holes suggests that the potential for higher grade mineralization lies at depth and to the north, associated with the porphyritic granodiorite.
Ongoing exploration is recommended in 2 phases:
Phase 1. An initial program of 550 m of drilling to test beneath the High-Grade Zone and at depth, to the north of all previous drill holes. Total Budget $150,000.
Phase 2. Contingent on success in Phase 1, a second phase of geological mapping, prospecting, soil sampling and up to 2,500 m of drilling. Total Budget $678,250.

ACCESSIBILITY, CLIMATE, LOCAL RESOURCES, INFRASTRUCTURE, PHYSIOGRAPHY
Accessibility
The Property is accessed from Merritt by heading southeast on Coldwater Road for 25 km and then west onto Patchett Road, a ranch road which ends at kilometer 11 and becomes the Spius Creek FSR, which is also the boundary of cellular service. At kilometer 25 of the Spius Creek FSR, a right turn is made over a bridge, followed by an immediate left onto the deactivated final section of the Spius Creek FSR, which continues for another 8.4 km, where it forks upon entering the Property. A right turn at the fork traverses the northern section of the claim block, while a left continues along the north side of Spius Creek to the Copper Zone, becoming heavily overgrown with alder and willow bushes for 8.5 km across the entire length of the Property. Several kilometers of brush were cleared on either side of the road in 2016, making enough room for a 4x4 truck to pass through. A bulldozer trail traverses north across the area of historical work up from the Spius Creek FSR. This trail was cleared for drill access in 2019 and has been reclaimed.
Local Resources and Infrastructure
The Property is well located, with excellent infrastructure and local resources in the nearby service center of Merritt. Merritt is 87 km by road from the mining and industrial centre of Kamloops and 271 km by road from Vancouver.
There is no camp site on the property. Accommodations for the 2019 program were found at a cabin on the Coldwater Ranch, 35 km by road from the Property.
Surface rights over the Property are mostly owned by the Crown and administered by the Government of BC and would be available for any eventual mining operation. The project area has abundant water and water rights could be obtained for milling. It is still too early to determine potential tailings storage areas, potential waste disposal areas, and potential processing plant sites.
Climate
The climate is characterized by warm summers with temperatures ranging from 10o C to 25o C and cold winters typically in the -10 o C to -15 o C range. The claims are situated just west of the interior rain shadow, and as such receive abundant precipitation carrying over from the Coast Mountains.
Physiography
Geographically, the claims lie along the eastern edge of the Pacific Coastal Mountains. Elevations range from 1100 m at Spius Creek to 1,840 m at the highest point in the headwaters. The claims are centered on Spius Creek, with the mineral showings situated on a moderately steep south facing slope. Most rock outcroppings are limited to higher elevations and creek drainages. Seasonal exploration surveys can commence from about early June and normally end by late October.
The project area lies within the transition zone between the rugged Coast Mountains to the west and the rolling Interior Plateau physiographic province to the east. Relief is moderate on the claims, generally less than 600 m, with a mean elevation of 1400 masl. Topography is dominated by rocky ridges, which transition downward into colluvium-covered slopes, with alluvium-filled valley bottoms.
HISTORY
1968 - Orequest Exploration Syndicate ("Orequest") optioned the Property from prospectors Clayton (Slim) Powney and John E. Nott and carried out trenching, geophysical and geochemical surveys, geological mapping and five diamond drill holes. Mapping revealed widespread mineralization containing appreciable pyrite along with some chalcopyrite and lesser chalcocite and molybdenite. Assays of the soil samples for copper and molybdenum showed sizeable parallel anomalous zones extending down the sidehill (Allen, 1969) with very high values up to 7,000 ppm Cu (George, 1976). The diamond drill holes were in the center of the Property, mostly within a feldspar porphyry intrusion, mostly within a pyritic gossan near the top of the copper soil anomaly. Results of the drilling were not made available; however, a later Property File reports that DDH#2 intersected good mineralization in the bottom 60 ft (18.3 m), with the last 8 ft (2.43 m) ending in 0.42% Cu (Allen, 1969).
1969 - Murray Mining improved and re-located a portion of the access road from Merritt and constructed over 8 miles of new road to connect with logging roads leading into Boston Bar. In addition, trenches and switchback roads on the Property were cleared and extended. An electromagnetic survey was completed over part of the area, defining a 1700-foot-long conductor striking north 65 degrees east on the southwest side of Canyon Creek. The field distortion was strong and interpreted to be the result of sulphide mineralization at shallow depth. Ten percussion holes were drilled to a maximum depth of 300 ft to the east of Canyon Creek, with the closest hole being 400 ft (122 m) north and 200 ft (61 m) higher than the EM conductor zone (Figure 6.1). Each hole contained considerable pyrite; however, no significant coppermolybdenum mineralization was intersected (Allen, 1969).
1970 – Arrow Inter-America Corporation conducted an IP survey which revealed that most of the rocks underlying the grid to a depth of 300 ft (91.5 m) contain 1-3% by volume of sulphide minerals. Observed chargeability values range from 1.0 to in excess of 30.0 milliseconds (ms). Most of the survey area exhibited chargeability responses in excess of 10.0 ms (Figure 6.1), which is a moderate chargeability level by normal standards. It was concluded that since the increased chargeability responses are so widespread, that it was difficult to recommend targets for further investigation based on the geophysical results alone (Fominoff, and Baird, 1970). A 1976 report by Canadian Occidental Petroleum Ltd. indicates that Arrow Inter-America also conducted a magnetometer and soil geochemical survey and geologically mapped the area, however the results are not available (George, 1976)
1971 – Brascan Resources Limited ("Brascan") drilled 7 diamond drill holes on the Property, the results of which are not available, nor discussed in any later reports. The collar locations are shown on a 1974 compilation map by Brascan. They appear to have been drilled on a 500 m grid pattern.
1974 – Brascan Resources Limited carried out 8,400 ft (2,560 m) of road work and 6,300 ft (1,920 m) of trenching. The road cuts and trenches tested an alluvium covered area having a coincident magnetic high, chargeability low, greater than 500 ppm Cu soil anomaly and a molybdenum soil anomaly. Mapping of the trenches found that better copper mineralization is associated with pink feldspar and quartz veining. Alteration minerals including secondary muscovite, biotite, quartz and feldspars were noted (Gannon, 1974).
1976 – Canadian Occidental Petroleum Ltd. spent two days collecting approximately 100 soil and stream sediment samples, as well as examining outcrops on the Property. The geochemical results corresponded quite well with Orequest's prior survey, returning values of up to 2,970 ppm Cu and 230 ppm Mo. Contouring of the values delineated an area of 2,000 ft (610 m) by 1,500 ft (457 m) of greater than 500 ppm Cu in the central part of the grid, surrounding an area of 2,000 ft (610 m) by 400 ft (122 m) of greater than 1,000 ppm Cu, open to the south (see Figure 6.1). Nine stream sediment samples returned values from 120 to 3,600 ppm Cu, with 5 values of greater than 1,000 ppm Cu. The conclusions of the 1976 report were that further work should be concentrated in the central area, bearing the large high value Cu soil geochemical anomaly and strong sericite alteration, as all the historic drilling had been focused outside of this zone (George, 1976). No further work however was conducted by Canadian Occidental on the Spius claims.
2012 – J.T. Shearer staked the area covering the Spius Property and collected 40 soil samples at 15 m spacing for 600 m along the Spius Creek FSR, below the central copper anomaly described above by Canadian Occidental. The results again confirmed the presence of very high copper values and extended the anomaly to the south, with up to 4,640 ppm Cu and 20 ppm Mo. Most samples were over 500 ppm Cu (Shearer, 2012).
2015 & 2016 – The Property was staked by the Vendors, who conducted geological and geochemical exploration work on the Property (Paul and Carlson, 2016), confirming the Shearer anomaly and discovering a boulder of high grade, porphyry style disseminated copper float that assayed 2.56% Cu (the High-Grade Zone).
2017 – The Property was optioned to Bruce and Patricia Bried ("Bried"), who completed additional prospecting and soil sampling (Bried and Chapman, 2018), confirming and expanding the central Copper Zone soil anomaly.
2018 –The Property was acquired from Bried by Pacific Ridge who completed a program of B horizon soil sampling and an IP geophysical survey. The soil survey confirmed and better defined the Copper Zone anomaly as outlined by earlier workers. The IP survey shows a horseshoe-shaped chargeability anomaly that surrounds and partially overlaps the Copper Zone anomaly. Expenditures for this program amounted to $97,952.
2019 – Pacific Ridge completed a four-hole, 1,087 m diamond drilling program to test the Copper Zone. Holes were targeted to test the strongest soil geochemical values, guided by the 2018 IP survey results. All holes intersected porphyry style alteration and mineralization. The best mineralization was encountered at the bottom of hole SP-19-03, drilled at the northern end of the Copper Zone, encountering 51.8 m averaging .099% Cu from 224.3 to 273 m, including 39.0 m at .113% Cu from 237-276 m (Carlson, 2019). Total expenditures for this program were $207,856.
2020 – On June 27, 2020, Danette Schwab, VP Exploration for Pacific Ridge, Chris Paul and Oliver Friesen from Ridgeline Exploration Ltd. and Bruce Bried, property vendor, visited the high grade showing (624148E, 5531087N; NAD83Z10 – see Figure 6.1). Using picks and shovels, they exposed the high-grade mineralization in bedrock and collected 11 rock samples. The high-grade copper mineralization was noted to occur in a porphyry unit that cut the Eagle Granodiorite and was in turn cut by a pegmatitic unit and a younger crowded feldspar porphyry (D. Schwab, pers. Comm.). Expenditures in 2020 amounted to $11,772.

Historical Drilling
In 1968, Orequest drilled 5 core holes. There are no collar locations or drill logs for this work. However, a later Property File reports that DDH#2 intersected good mineralization in the bottom 60 ft (18.3 m), with the last 8 ft (2.43 m) ending in 0.42% Cu (Allen, 1969).
In 1969, Murray Mining completed ten percussion holes that were drilled to a maximum depth of 300 ft to the east of Canyon Creek. No records of the precise locations of the collars or the results are available, but hole locations are shown on a 1971 Brascan compilation map.
In 1971, Brascan drilled 7 diamond drill holes, the results of which are not available, nor discussed in any later reports. Precise hole locations are not available, but the collar locations are shown on a 1974 compilation map by Brascan.
Four core diamond drill holes were completed on the Property by Pacific Ridge in 2019. Results of this program are discussed below.

Drill collar location and orientation data, where known, is provided in Table 0.2 and shown on Figure 0.2. The 1968 to 1971 drill hole locations are taken from a 1971 compilation map and the accuracy of the hole locations is not known. The 2019 drill hole collars were located by hand held Garmin GPS.
The target for the 2019 drill program was the coincident copper soil geochemical anomaly and underlying chargeability anomaly, for the most part to the south of the earlier drill programs. The drilling confirmed the presence of a porphyry style mineralized system associated with a porphyritic biotite granodiorite in the upper or northern part of the Copper Zone. Mineralization occurs mainly within the foliated biotite granodiorite, but both mineralization and alteration are spatially associated with the porphyritic granodiorite, which appears to be syn-mineralization and likely the causative intrusion. The biotite latite porphyry occurs within the porphyritic granodiorite, appears to be co-magmatic, but it is unmineralized and therefore post-mineral.
The drill program encountered several intersections of sub-ore grade mineralization in holes SP-19-02, 03 and 04 (Table 6.3), while hole SP-19-01, drilled in the lower or southern portion of the system, encountered only weak mineralization and alteration. This suggests that the potential for higher grade mineralization lies at depth and to the north, associated with the porphyritic granodiorite. The 2019 drilling appears to have tested only the southern fringe of this intrusion, although its full extent is unknown due to its lack of exposure. The drilling failed to encounter a lithology or mineralization similar to the high grade (2.56% Cu) felsic intrusive float that was discovered in 2016, approximately 150 m north of hole SP-19-02 and 150 m west of SP-19-03, slightly upslope from both holes.

Drilling Procedures
There are no descriptions of drill procedures for the 1968 to 1971 programs.
The 2019 program was completed by Paycore Enterprises Ltd. using their track mounted Discovery II Heli-Track drill rig and NQ core and two twelve-hour shifts. Drill core was transported at the end of each shift to an open-air logging facility at Coldwater Ranch, approximately one hour distant from the project.
Collar locations were recorded using a hand held Garmin GPS unit. Downhole surveys were completed using an MBI Reflex Instrument at the bottom of each hole.
Core Handling Procedures
For the 2019 program, core was transported to an open-air core logging facility located at the
project camp at the Coldwater Ranch. The core was logged and marked for sampling, typically at 2 m intervals. Unaltered and unmineralized rock was not sampled.
Following the completion of the drill program, all the core was moved to storage in a Quonset hut at the ranch of Grant Fosbery, just outside of Merritt.
Core Sample Preparation
For the 2019 program. Core was split using a hand core splitter. One half of the split core was placed in a plastic bag and sealed with a zap strap. Samples were shipped to the lab directly from the logging area to the lab either by pick-up truck driven by a Pacific Ridge employee or by Diamond Delivery couriers from Kamloops.
Core Sample Security
For the 2019 program, core was kept in a secure location at the logging facility until shipment to the lab, MSA Mineral Services Analytical (Canada) Inc. in Langley, BC.
Core Sample Quality Control Quality Assurance Program
In the 2019 campaign, Pacific Ridge inserted appropriate field standards (Certified Reference Material: CDN-CM-33 and CDN-CM-37 obtained from CDN Resource Laboratories Ltd.) and blanks at a ratio of 1:18 to monitor the accuracy and reliability of results (Carlson 2019).
The 333 core samples collected and analyzed for the 2019 campaign included additionally 11 core duplicates, 16 blanks and 17 standards. Six (6) crusher duplicates, 6 granite blanks, 5 standard blanks, and 2 standards (OREAS 25a and OREAS 600) were introduced by MSA Labs during the analytical process.
QA/QC assay checks using anonymously labeled CRM inserted into each sample batch indicate an acceptable level of accuracy and precision when assays fall within one standard deviation of the original reference assay. All MSA Labs assays of reference material meet this criterion. MSA Labs assays of blanks indicate acceptable results. In summary, a review of 2019 CRM and blanks from the Pacific Ridge database suggests assays would have passed typical QAQC protocols. QAQC for 2019 assays was reviewed on a batch by batch basis. Bias and precision were deemed within acceptable limits. Core and crusher duplicates showed excellent reproducibility.
It is the opinion of author Gibson that the location, downhole survey and assay data supplied is of adequate quality for use in early project evaluation and exploration targeting. Most location and assay data are likely suitable for use in mineral resource estimation.

GEOLOGICAL SETTING AND MINERALIZATION
Regional and Local Geology

Figure 0*.*1 Regional geological setting of the Spius Project. Source: Carlson (2019).
The regional geological framework is prominently marked by a major break along the Fraser
River the Fraser River – Straight Creek fault system. The fault system represents a suture-like zone between two accreted terranes (Cadwallader and Bridge River terranes) and has produced a zone of ductile deformation favourable for hosting mineralization. The general claim area is underlain by the Mount Lytton Complex, a major, 160-km-long intrusive complex trending northwest through central British Columbia. About 8 km to the west, the granitic rocks are in faulted contact with sediments of the Lower Cretaceous Jackass Mountain group.
Regional and Local Metallogeny
Figure 0.2 Regional and local metallogeny of the Spius Project showing nearby porphyry deposits. Source: BCGS MapPlace (1995) and USGS "Porphyry copper deposits of the world – Database and grade and tonnage models" (2008).
The Spius property is located within a belt of major pre-, syn- and post-accretion porphyry deposits - see Figure 7.2. These include the ~210 Ma calc-alkalic Cu-Mo Highland Valley deposits (Valley, Lornex, Bethlehem, Highmont) and the 206-203 Ma alkalic, silica undersaturated Cu-Au deposits of Copper Mountain and Afton. The Independence prospect is a Cu(Mo) porphyry hosted in ~55 Ma (Eocene) quartz-feldspar porphyry located approximately 38 km southeast of Spius.
Property Geology
The following description of the Property geology is taken mainly from Allen (1969, 1970), Gannon (1974) and Paul and Carlson (2017). The central part of the Property is mostly underlain by a strongly foliated, coarse-grained biotite granodiorite, mapped by the GSC as the Eagle Granodiorite (Gd) of Jurassic or later age (Journeay and Monger, 1984). Based on field relations, the unit is interpreted to pre-date copper mineralization on the Property. Sulphide minerals, mostly pyrite, occur as disseminations and fracture coatings throughout the Eagle Granodiorite. Small, irregular, quartz-feldspar pegmatite bodies intrude the Eagle Granodiorite in several areas, some of which are mineralized.

Figure 7.3 Spius property local geology (interpreted from Gannon, 1974).
A hornblende-feldspar dacite porphyry noted by its quartz eyes (Qp) occurs predominantly on the east side of the claim block (Figure 7.2) consisting of 15% plagioclase phenocrysts to 1 cm, 5% to 10% quartz eye phenocrysts to 0.5 cm and less than 2 % euhedral pyrite in perfect cubes up to 2 cm across and containing inclusions of quartz-eye phenocrysts. Many of the pyrite cubes are oxidized to produce vugs and resulting in a slight gossanous colour to the outcrops. It is not known whether the pyrite cubes are porphyroblasts or phenocrysts. Although they are not
associated with fractures or veins, the former possibility seems to be more likely due to their euhedral and poikilitic character. The rock is massive, very weakly jointed and altered. Quartz veins are rare in the unit and sericite was not noted. The Qp is strongly kaolinized, which may be aided by pyrite oxidation and weathering, to produce acidic ground water.
To the north and west of the claim block, pyrite and sericite concentrations decrease, grading into a barren foliated granodiorite to the north and contacting a leucocratic granodiorite with a weak foliation to the west. The central and northern granodiorite foliation trends from 160° to 200° with a dip of 70° to 90° to the west. The granodiorite to the west has a weak N-S foliation.
A quartz-feldspar porphyry plug (Fp) intrudes the Eagle Granodiorite near the upper end of the copper anomaly (Figure 7.2). The rock is dark grey, unfoliated and contains approximately 20% euhedral, kaolinized plagioclase crystals to 1 cm in diameter. An intense quartz stockwork with minor sulphide cuts the feldspar porphyry. B.Y. Kim mapped and described the area for Arrow Inter-America in 1971 and interpreted the Fp to be the locus of mineralization in the area (George, 1976). Paul (2017) disagrees with this interpretation, arguing that the unit is small, and several grab samples collected from it in 2016, including samples containing high sulfide and quartz veins returned very low copper and molybdenum concentrations. According to Brascan's 1974 work plan, the unit never reaches more than 200 ft (61 m) in thickness (Gannon, 1974). It seems unlikely that this small, barren unit is the source of the mineralized fluids capable of widespread alteration and mineralization elsewhere on the Property, however at this stage, an alternative causative intrusive has not been found. A float boulder discussed later in this report, which assayed 2.56% Cu and displays intense potassic and sericitic alteration in a unique, unfoliated intrusive lithology may be a more viable alternative. Hand trenching in 2020 located the bedrock source of this mineralization.
Lamprophyre and felsic dykes intrude the older intrusions but are of minor importance.
Alteration and Mineralization
Pyrite is widespread throughout the altered and sheared zones on the Property. The northeasterly exposures contain coarse cubic pyrite scattered throughout highly kaolinized, but massive quartzeye porphyry rock. The central and western outcrops exhibit finely disseminated pyrite throughout finer-grained but silicified and sericitized granitic rocks. There is one outcrop of breccia composed of coarse angular fragments of altered granodiorite and quartz feldspar porphyry, with pyrite throughout. In places chalcopyrite is associated with the pyrite, mostly noted in and near fractured rock veined with quartz-K-feldspar veins.
Molybdenite has been noted locally associated with chalcopyrite and chalcocite within quartz veins at the Gossan Zone. Malachite and azurite oxidation typically coat copper mineralized exposures.
The strongest alteration observed was at the Gossan Zone where phyllic quartz-sericite-pyrite ("QSP") alteration was observed throughout as both fine-grained sericite as well as large flakes of secondary muscovite accompanying silicification, quartz-sulfide veining, and pyrite. Oxidation of sulfides give the rocks a vuggy texture, with bright yellow and orange oxides coating all surfaces. Minor potassic alteration was also observed at the Gossan Zone, mostly restricted to vein selvages as growths of secondary biotite as well as a pink hue around the veins indicating potassium metasomatism of feldspars.
Little outcrop is found west of the Copper Zone, however altered float rocks were found along the upper roadcuts, with both phyllic and potassic alteration. Also located in the same area was a set of Early Dark Mafic ("EDM") veins cutting a malachite-stained and weakly k-spar altered intrusive rock. Pervasive potassium feldspar and sericite alteration also occurs within a strongly mineralized float boulder assaying 2.56% Cu, located along the upper roadcut.
DEPOSIT TYPES
The Property is thought to host mineralization related to the calc-alkalic, porphyry deposit types. Calc-alkalic porphyry deposits are typically associated with zoned and/or multi-phase granodiorite to quartz monzonite intrusions emplaced into volcanic or sedimentary rocks (Sillitoe, 2010). These deposits are marked by complex alteration zones typically centred on the intrusive complex, comprising a potassic core enveloped by an overlapping peripheral zone of propylitic alteration. These alteration zones may be overprinted by zones of phyllic and/or argillic alteration, typically occurring between the potassic and propylitic zones or along structures. Copper and molybdenum mineralization are generally most abundant in the potassic core while pyrite is more prevalent in the propylitic and phyllic zones. The abundance of pyrite in these systems can result in the formation of strongly acidic groundwaters that, under appropriate climactic conditions, generate argillic-altered leached caps and supergene Cu mineralization. Ore sulphide mineralization comprises chalcopyrite, chalcocite, covellite, digenite, bornite, molybdenite and locally Cu-oxide minerals. These sulphides are hosted in quartz veinlet stockworks, veins, breccias, disseminations and replacements.

DATA VERIFICATION
Author Gibson in the company of Mr. Bruce Bried, conducted a site visit to the Spius Property on 23 September 2020. Additional data verification and analysis of 3D satellite imagery was performed by the author in October 2020.
Data review has verified no-transcription errors for:
- Seven of 7 claims in the Pacific Ridge database (Table 4.1) against Mineral Titles Online.
- Four of 4 drill collar locations in the Pacific Ridge database against historical maps.
- One hundred of 333 Cu and Mo analyses in the Pacific Ridge database against the original certificates of analysis (COA).
The Property site visit included the following data verification:
- Located collars for drill holes SP-19-01, 02, 03 and 04.
- Examined the High-Grade Zone stripped exposure and took 3 samples for verification.
- Examined 54 m of diamond drill core from drill hole SP-19-03 (222-276 m).
The locations of drill hole casings SP-19-01, 02, 03 and 04 were measured with a handheld Garmin GPSMAP 60CSx GPS and cross-checked with Viewranger GPS software operating on a mobile device, and found to be offset by less than 4 m compared to the drill hole database.
The High-Grade Zone stripped exposure was examined in detail and three (3) samples of the mineralized and unmineralized felsic intrusive were collected and submitted to Activation Laboratories Ltd., Kamloops for verification analyses (ICP-MS UT-1M and ICP-OES). Results are summarized in Table 12.1

Figure 12.1 Site visit: 23 Sep 2020. The author sampling exposed High-Grade Zone (624148E, 5531087N; NAD83Z10).
The High-Grade Zone hand trench, which was stripped to bedrock in June 2020 over an area of about 5 x 5 m, exposes feldspar porphyry cutting the Eagle Granodiorite which in turn is cut by a pegmatitic unit. Disseminated chalcopyrite (10-20%) occurs within the feldspar porphyry in a tabular steeply-dipping zone measuring approximately 2.4 x 0.3 m oriented at 135o azimuth. The mineralized zone contains at least 2 pods or stringers up to 3 cm wide containing up to 40-50% disseminated chalcopyrite with associated iron oxide alteration.
All core from the 2019 drill campaign is stored indoors in a Quonset hut at the ranch of Grant Fosbery on Coldwater Road a short distance southwest of Merritt. The core is cross stacked on pallets in 4 foot wooden boxes and is generally in excellent condition - see Figure 12.2.
Figure 12.2 Site visit: 23 Sep 2020. Split core from drill hole SP-19-03, boxes 58, 59 and 60.
Core was examined from drill hole SP-19-03 for the interval from 221.7 m to the end-of-hole at 276.0 m. Note: this interval includes the best grading copper intersection obtained in the 2019 drill program (224.2-276.0 = 51.8 m grading 0.099% Cu, including 237.0-276.0 = 39.0 m grading 0.113% Cu). Results are presented below:
221.7-224.3 m Felsic Feldspar Porphyry (FP#2) – biotite-quartz latite porphyry. Sparse plagioclase phenocrysts 1-5 mm (5-10%) and biotite books 1-3 mm (1-5%) in very fine grained grey-brown quartzo-feldspathic groundmass. Post-mineral(?), barren.
224.3-224.4 m Pulverized zone, fault gouge
224.4-226.1 m Contact of post-mineral porphyry with mineralized porphyritic granodiorite is fractured and cut by calcite-quartz microveinlets to 4mm and pervasive propylitic (chloritic) alteration. Lower contact is gradational (contact alteration, chilled margin) over 30 cm.
226.1-259.7 Felsic Feldspar Porphyry (FP#1) – weakly porphyritic granodiorite consisting of zoned plagioclase phenocrysts to 6x15mm (15-20%) suspended in a medium-grained matrix of Kspar (25%), quartz (20%), plagioclase (15%), biotite[>chlorite] (10-15%), sericite (5%), apatite (1-2%), and opaques [ilmenite, rutile, magnetite] (5%). Massive, unfoliated. Contains trace-2% chalcopyrite with lesser pyrite
as pervasive disseminations (grains to 2 mm) and in rare cross-cutting glassy quartzanhydrite veinlets (0.5-1%) and associated stockworks comprising veinlets up to 6 mm in width– see Figure 12.3.

Figure 12.3 Site visit: 23 Sep 2020. Mineralized Felsic Feldspar Porphyry. SP-19-03; 244.87-244.99 m.
253.43-253.73 m Potassic alteration as Kspar-chlorite selvages associated with strong quartz-anhydrite veins @45 o to CA
259.7-276.0 Eagle Granodiorite – weakly foliated biotite granodiorite. Weak pervasive sericite alteration with tr-2% disseminated pyrite. Cut by occasional pegmatite dykes.
264.00-264.15 m Potassic alteration associated with quartz veins 268.28-268.75 m Potassic alteration associated with quartz veins 271.75-272.28 m Potassic alteration associated with quartz veins
Vein assemblages, textures and alteration in the lower part of this drill hole are typical of the potassic part of porphyry systems. However chalcopyrite > pyrite is to be expected in the core of a porphyry system, together with higher copper values and greater vein density. Combined evidence suggests that this hole is not yet in the core zone, which may lie deeper and/or to the north.

INTERPRETATION AND CONCLUSIONS
The Spius Property lies within the Eagle Plutonic Complex. Rocks within the Property are mainly biotite-hornblende granodiorite, with younger feldspar porphyry and quartz-feldspar porphyry intruded by felsic and lamprophyre dikes. The Copper Zone, in the central part of the Property, is defined by a strong copper soil geochemical anomaly, with associated anomalous molybdenum, and with a surrounding pyritic alteration zone. Although the Copper Zone is mainly till and colluvium covered, mineralization has been observed mainly in float and occasionally in outcrop and includes secondary copper minerals, including malachite and azurite, locally chalcopyrite in stockwork veins and disseminations and minor molybdenite. Recent soil sampling surveys and an IP geophysical survey have defined the Copper Zone as a significant porphyry copper target. Additional prospecting Led to the discovery of the High-Grade Zone, a piece of float with porphyry-style disseminated pyrite-chalcopyrite mineralization that assayed 2.56% Cu.
In 2019, Pacific Ridge completed a four-hole, 1,087 m diamond drilling program to test the Copper Zone. Holes were targeted to test the strongest soil geochemical values, guided by the 2018 IP survey results. All holes intersected porphyry style alteration and mineralization. The best mineralization was encountered at the bottom of hole SP-19-03, drilled at the northern end of the Copper Zone. It encountered 51.8 m averaging .099% Cu from 224.3 to 273 m, including 39.0 m at .113% Cu from 237-276 m. The distribution of mineralization and alteration in the 2019 drill holes suggests that the potential for higher grade mineralization lies at depth and to the north, associated with the porphyritic granodiorite (Carlson, 2019) – see Figure 25.1
The drilling failed to encounter a lithology or mineralization similar to the high grade (2.56% Cu) felsic intrusive float that was discovered in 2016 and exposed in 2020, approximately 150 m north of hole SP-19-02 and 100 m northwest of SP-19-03, upslope from both holes.
Preliminary analysis of available aerial imagery and elevational data for the Spius property and environs was undertaken by the author in October 2020. Specifically, 20 cm/pixel color imagery dated December 30, 2005 and a DEM based on x,y,z data points extracted on 5m centres from Google Earth Pro (2m contours) was imported into Leapfrog Geo 3D for interpretation. Note that Carlson (2016) performed a comprehensive lineament analysis of the Spius Property at three levels of investigation: regional (1:1,500,000), intermediate (1:500,000) and property-scale (1:50,000). His property-scale analysis was based on available TRIM topography (20m contours) and public domain aeromagnetic maps (1:50,000). The observations presented below build on Carlson's property-scale interpretations and conclusions.
Three prominent northeast-trending lineaments cross the sub-alpine ridge north of the Copper Zone – see Figure 25.1. Based on their regular spacing, deeply-incised profiles, and consistent deflection as they transect topographic highs, the lineaments are interpreted to be the expression of northeast-striking, moderately northwest-dipping planar faults. The faults in turn appear to truncate the northern edge and to some extent control the internal grade distribution of the Copper Zone soil anomaly. Combined evidence suggests that such faults may be late (postmineral) features, offsetting the host feldspar porphyry, and acting as fluid pathways for groundwater dispersion of copper from mineralization at depth. The High Grade Zone falls directly along the central of three interpreted faults. It may represent displaced (up-faulted) primary copper mineralization in the northwest block.
In conclusion, the author concurs with Carlson (2016) that attention to defined linears in the immediate vicinity of the Copper Zone and north will be important in future property mapping programs and in the structural interpretation of those results.
The Spius property is in the exploration stage and without a known body of commercial ore. Development of the property will only follow upon obtaining satisfactory results from ongoing exploration. Mineral exploration and development involve a high degree of risk and few properties which are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. There is no assurance that the mineral exploration proposed in Section 26 will result in the discovery of a body of commercial ore on the Spius property.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Phase 1. An initial program of drilling is recommended to test beneath the High-Grade Zone and at depth, to the north of the historical drill holes. Two holes are recommended collared from the same location (624,200E, 5,531,120N – NAD83Z10), with a -50o hole at 225 o azimuth, to a depth of 150 m, and a vertical hole drilled to 400 m depth – see Figures 26.1 and 26.2.
Phase 2. Contingent on success in Phase 1, a second phase of drilling of up to 2,500 m in as many as 10 holes is recommended. Drilling in Phase 2 would be preceded and guided by the results of proposed detailed geological mapping, prospecting and soil sampling north of the Phase 1 drill site. Recommended mapping and prospecting should extend to the ridge line and the north-facing upper slopes beyond. Concurrent soil sampling on a 50 m x 50 m square grid is recommended over the corresponding approximately 1.0 square km area.

Penalties or Sanctions
No director, officer, insider or promoter of the Company or a shareholder holding a sufficient number of securities of the Company to affect materially the control of the Company, has: (a) been subject to any penalties or sanctions imposed by a court relating to securities legislation or by any securities regulatory authority or has entered into a settlement agreement with a securities regulatory authority; or (b) been subject to any other penalties or sanctions imposed by a court or regulatory body or self-regulatory authority that would be likely to be considered important to a reasonable investor making an investment decision.
Conflicts of Interest
There are potential conflicts of interest to which the directors, officers, insiders and promoters of the Company will be subject in connection with the operations of the Company.

The directors and officers of the Company are required by law to act in the best interests of the Company. They have the same obligations to the other companies in respect of which they act as directors and officers. Discharge by the directors and officers of their obligations to the Company may result in a breach of their obligations to the other companies, and in certain circumstances this could expose the Company to liability to those companies. Similarly, discharge by the directors and officers of their obligations to the other companies could result in a breach of their obligation to act in the best interests of the Company. Such conflicting legal obligations may expose the Company to liability to others and impair its ability to achieve its business objectives. None of the directors or officers of the Company have entered into non-competition or non-disclosure agreements with the Company. Conflicts, if any, will be subject to the procedures and remedies as provided under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), the CSE and applicable securities laws, regulations and policies.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
General
Corporate governance refers to the policies and structure of the Board of a company whose members are elected by and are accountable to the shareholders of the company. Corporate governance encourages establishing a reasonable degree of independence of the Board from executive management and the adoption of policies to ensure the Board recognizes the principles of good management. The Board is committed to sound corporate governance practices, as such practices are both in the interests of shareholders and help to contribute to effective and efficient decision-making.
Effective June 30, 2005, National Instrument 58-101 Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices ("NI 58-101") and National Policy 58-201 Corporate Governance Guidelines ("NP 58-201") were adopted in each of the provinces and territories of Canada. NI 58-101 requires issuers to disclose the corporate governance practices that they have adopted. NP 58-201 provides guidance on corporate governance practices. This section sets out the Company's approach to corporate governance and describes the measures taken by the Company to comply with NI 58-101.
Board of Directors
Directors are considered to be independent if they have no direct or indirect material relationship with the Company. A "material relationship" is a relationship which could, in the view of the Company's Board, be reasonably expected to interfere with the exercise of a director's independent judgment.
The Company's Board facilitates its exercise of independent judgement in carrying out its responsibilities by carefully examining issues and consulting with outside counsel and other advisors in appropriate circumstances. The Company's Board requires management to provide complete and accurate information with respect to the Company's activities and to provide relevant information concerning the industry in which the Company operates in order to identify and manage risks. The Company's Board is responsible for monitoring the Company's officers, who in turn are responsible for the maintenance of internal controls and management information systems.
The following members of the Board are non-independent: Harry Chew and Sonny Chew.
The following members of the Board are independent: Eddy Siu, Terrance Owen, and Gerald George Carlson.
Other Reporting Issuer Experience
The following directors of the Company are directors of other reporting issuers as of the date of the Prospectus:
| Director | Reporting Issuer | Exchange Listed On & Symbol |
|---|---|---|
| Harry Chew | Pacific Paradym Energy Inc. | TSXV –PPE.H |
| UnilockCapital Corp. | TSXV –UUU.P | |
| Sonny Chew | Pacific Paradym Energy Inc. | TSXV –PPE.H |
| Unilock Capital Corp. | TSXV –UUU.P | |
| Terrance Owen | Pacific Paradym Energy Inc. | TSXV –PPE.H |
| Eastwood Bio-Medical Canada Inc. | TSXV –EBM | |
| Gerald George Carlson | Pacific Ridge Exploration Ltd. | TSXV –PEX |
| Gold Mountain Mining Corp. | TSXV –GMTN |
Orientation and Continuing Education
When new directors are appointed, they receive an orientation, commensurate with their previous experience, on the Company's business, technology and industry and on the responsibilities of directors.
Board meetings may also include presentations by the Company's management and consultants to give the directors additional insight into the Company's business.
Ethical Business Conduct
The Board has found that the fiduciary duties placed on individual directors by the Company's governing corporate legislation and the common law and the restrictions placed by applicable corporate legislation on an individual directors' participation in decisions of the Board in which the director has an interest have been sufficient to ensure that the Board operates independently of management and in the best interests of the Company. Further, the Company's auditor has full and unrestricted access to the Audit Committee at all times to discuss the audit of the Company's financial statements and any related findings as to the integrity of the financial reporting process.
Nomination of Directors
The Company's management is continually in contact with individuals involved in the mineral exploration industry and public-sector resource issuers. From these sources, the Company has made numerous contacts and continues to consider nominees for future board positions. The Company conducts due diligence and reference checks on any suitable candidate. New nominees must have a track record in general business management, special expertise in the area of strategic interest to the Company, the ability to devote the time required and willingness to serve. The Board does not have a nominating committee.
Compensation
The Board as a whole determines salary and benefits of the executive officers and directors of the Company, and determines the Company's general compensation structure, policies and programs.
Other Board Committees
The Board has no other committees other than the Audit Committee.
Assessments
The Board works closely with management, and, accordingly, are in a position to assess the performance of individual directors on an ongoing basis.
LISTING APPLICATION AND CONDITIONAL LISTING APPROVAL
The Company has applied to list its Common Shares on the CSE. The CSE has not yet conditionally approved the listing of the Common Shares. Listing is subject the Company fulfilling all of the requirements of the CSE.
As at the date of the Prospectus, the Company does not have any of its securities listed or quoted, has not applied to list or quote any of its securities, and does not intend to apply to list or quote any of its securities, on the Toronto Stock Exchange, Aequitas NEO Exchange Inc., a U.S. marketplace, or a marketplace outside of Canada and the United States of America.
RISK FACTORS
An investment in the Common Shares of the Company involves a substantial risk of loss. You should carefully consider these risk factors, together with all of the other information included in this Prospectus. These risk factors are not a definitive list of all risk factors associated with an investment in the Company or in connection with the Company's operations. There may be other risks and uncertainties that are not known to the Company or that the Company currently believes are not material, but which also may have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, operating results or prospects. In that case, the trading price of the Common Shares could decline substantially, and investors may lose all or part of the value of the Common Shares held by them. An investment in securities of the Company should only be made by persons who can afford a significant or total loss of their investment.
The Company has identified the following risks relevant to its business and operations, which could materially affect the Company's operating results, financial performance and the value of the Common Shares. The information below does not purport to be an exhaustive summary of the risks affecting the Company and additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to the officers or directors of the Company or not currently perceived as being material may have an adverse effect on the business of the Company.
The Company does not expect to pay any cash dividends
The Company may not achieve a level of profitability to permit payments of cash dividends to shareholders. Any future determination to pay dividends on the Common Shares will be at the discretion of the Board, and will depend upon many factors, including the Company's results of operations, financial position, credit terms, general economic factors and other factors as the Board may deem relevant from time to time.
Management and directors
The Company's future success depends on its ability to retain key employees and/or consultants and attract, train, retain and successfully integrate new talent into its management team. The Company's success is highly dependent on its continuing ability to identify, hire, train, motivate and retain appropriate personnel. Competition for such personnel can be intense, and the Company cannot provide assurance that it will be able to attract or retain them.
Current global financial conditions may adversely impact the Company and the value of the Common Shares
Current global financial conditions have been subject to increased volatility, which has negatively impacted access to public financing. These factors may impact the ability of the Company to obtain equity or debt financing in the future and, if obtained, on terms favourable to the Company. If these increased levels of volatility and market turmoil continue, the Company's operations could be adversely impacted, and the value of the Common Shares could be adversely affected.
Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic
The spread of COVID‐19, which has caused a broad impact globally, may materially affect the Company economically. While the potential economic impact brought by, and the duration of, COVID‐19 may be difficult to assess or predict, a widespread pandemic could result in significant disruption of global financial markets, reducing the Company's ability to access capital, which could in the future negatively affect the Company's liquidity and the ability to complete the Company's business development milestones as described in this Prospectus.
The continued spread of COVID-19 nationally and globally could also lead to a deterioration of general economic conditions including a possible national or global recession. Due to the speed with which the COVID-19 situation is developing and the uncertainty of its magnitude, outcome and duration, it is not possible to estimate its impact on the Company's business, operations or financial results; however, the impact could be material.
Dilution
Common Shares, as well as rights, warrants, special warrants, subscription receipts and other securities to purchase, to convert into or to exchange into Common Shares, may be created, issued, sold and delivered on such terms and conditions and at such times as the Board may determine. In addition, the Company may issue additional Common Shares from time to time pursuant to securities convertible to purchase Common Shares issued from time to time by the Board. The issuance of additional Common Shares could result in dilution to existing securityholders.
Future sales by existing shareholders could cause the Company's share price to fall
Future sales of Common Shares by the Company or other shareholders could decrease the value of the Common Shares. The Company cannot predict the size of future sales by the Company or other shareholders, or the effect, if any, that such sales will have on the market price of the Common Shares. Sales of a substantial number of Common Shares, or the perception that such sales could occur, may adversely affect prevailing market prices for the Common Shares.
Profitability of the Company
There can be no assurance that the Company's business and strategy will enable it to become profitable or sustain profitability in future periods and that it will not incur net losses. The Company's future operating results will depend on various factors, many of which are beyond the Company's direct control, including the Company's ability to control its costs and general economic conditions. The Company's limited operating history makes it difficult to predict future operating results. If the Company is unable to generate profits in the future, the market price of the Common Shares could decline.
Litigation
All industries, including the mining industry, are subject to legal claims, with and without merit. Legal proceedings may arise from time to time in the course of the Company's business. Such litigation may be brought from time to time in the future against the Company. Defense and settlement costs of legal claims can be substantial, even with respect to claims that have no merit. Other than as disclosed elsewhere in this Prospectus, the Company is not currently subject to material litigation nor has the Company received an indication that any material claims are forthcoming. However, due to the inherent uncertainty of the litigation process, the Company could become involved in material legal claims or other proceedings with other parties in the future. The results of litigation or any other proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty. The cost of defending such claims may take away from management's time and effort and if the Company is incapable of resolving such disputes favourably, the resultant litigation could have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial condition, cash flow and results from operation.
Risks related to possible fluctuations in revenues and results
The Company may experience significant fluctuations in its quarterly and annual results of operations for a variety of reasons, many of which are outside of the Company's control. Any fluctuations may cause the Company's results of operations to fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors. This would likely affect the ability of an investor to dispose of the Company's Common Shares or the market price of the Common Shares if trading of them is possible in a marketplace.
Negative cash flow from operations
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, the Company had negative cash flow from operating activities. Although the Company anticipates it will have positive cash flow from operating activities in future periods, to the extent that the Company has negative cash flow in any future period, it will need to raise additional funds to cover this short fall.
Going concern risk
The Company's registered independent auditors have issued an opinion on the Company's audited financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2020 which includes a statement describing the Company's going concern status. The conditions set forth indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt that the Company can continue as an ongoing business for the next twelve months unless the Company obtains additional capital to pay its bills and meet its other financial obligations.
In addition to cash flow from operations, ongoing operations may be dependent on the Company's ability to obtain equity financing by the issuance of securities and to generate profitable operations in the future. Significant amounts of capital expenditures are required in order for the Company to execute its business plan and there are no assurances that the Company will have sufficient funds for this purpose.
Force majeure
The Company's operations may now or in the future be adversely affected by risks outside the control of the Company, including labour unrest, civil disorder, war, subversive activities or sabotage, fires, floods, explosions or other catastrophes, epidemics or quarantine restrictions.
Risks related to market demands
The markets that the Company participates in may not grow as expected or at all. While the Company's goal is to increase its revenues by expanding its customer base or revenues, there can be no assurance that it will succeed in doing so. As a result, revenues may stagnate or decline, which may increase the Company's losses.
Fluctuation and volatility in stock exchange prices
The market price of a publicly traded stock is affected by many variables, including the availability and attractiveness of alternative investments and the breadth of public market for the stock. In recent years, the securities markets have experienced a high level of price and volume volatility, and the market prices of securities of many companies have experienced wide fluctuations in price which have not necessarily been related to the operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects of such companies.
For instance, the market price for the Common Shares may be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to numerous factors, many of which are beyond management's control, including the following:
-
actual or anticipated fluctuations in the Company's quarterly results of operations;
-
recommendations by securities research analysts;
-
changes in the economic performance or market valuations of companies in the industry in which the Company operates;
-
addition or departure of the Company's executive officers and other key personnel;
-
release or expiration of lock-up or other transfer restrictions on outstanding Common Shares;
-
sales or perceived sales of additional Common Shares;
-
speculation, whether or not well-founded, about significant acquisitions or business combinations, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments by or involving the Company or its competitors;
-
operating and share price performance of other companies that investors deem comparable to the Company;
-
changes in global financial markets and global economies and general market conditions; and
-
news reports relating to trends, concerns, technological or competitive developments, regulatory changes and other related issues in the Company's industry or target markets.
Financial markets have recently experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have particularly affected the market prices of equity securities of companies and that have often been unrelated to the operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects of such companies. Accordingly, the market price of the Common Shares may decline even if the Company's operating results, underlying asset values or prospects have not changed. Additionally, these factors, as well as other related factors, may cause decreases in asset values that are deemed to be other than temporary, which might result in impairment losses. There can be no assurance that continuing fluctuations in price and volume will not occur. If such increased levels of volatility and market turmoil continue, the Company's operations could be adversely affected and the trading price of the Common Shares might be materially adversely affected.
Further, there can be no assurance that such variations will not affect the price of the Company's securities in the future and that the price of the Common Shares will not decrease after listing on the CSE.
Market for the company's securities
There has been no public trading market for the Common Shares. There can be no guarantee that an active and liquid trading market will develop or be maintained, the failure of which may have a material adverse effect on the value of the Common Shares and the ability of an investor to dispose of the Common Shares in a timely manner, or at all. In addition, the market price of the securities of the Company at any given point in time may not accurately reflect the long-term value of the Company.
Reporting issuer status and related requirements
As a reporting issuer, the Company will be subject to reporting requirements under applicable securities laws and stock exchange policies. Compliance with these requirements will increase legal and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time consuming or costly, and increase demand on existing systems and resources. Among other things, the Company will be required to file annual, quarterly and current reports with respect to its business and results of operations and maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting. In order to maintain and, if required, improve disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting to meet this standard, significant resources and management oversight may be required. As a result, management's attention may be diverted from other business concerns, which could harm the Company's business and results of operations. The Company may need to hire additional employees and/or consultants to comply with these requirements in the future, which would increase its costs and expenses.
Limited operating history
The Company has a limited operating history on which to base an evaluation of its business, financial performance and prospects. As such, the Company's business and prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses, uncertainties and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in the early stage of development, including under-capitalization, cash shortages, limitations with respect to personnel, financial and other resources and lack of revenues.
As a junior mining exploration company, the Company is focused on conducting its proposed exploration program on the Spius Property and the Company's revenues may be materially affected by the risks, difficulties and expenses frequently encountered in the mineral exploration industry. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in addressing these risks, and the failure to do so in any one area could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
Additional financing
The Company expects that it will require equity and/or debt financing to support ongoing operations, to undertake capital expenditures or to undertake acquisitions or other business combination transactions. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to the Company when needed or on terms which are acceptable. The Company's inability to raise financing to fund ongoing operations, capital expenditures or acquisitions could limit its growth and may have a material adverse effect upon the Company's business, results of operations, financial condition or prospects.
If additional funds are raised through further issuances of equity or convertible debt securities, existing shareholders could suffer significant dilution, and any new equity securities issued could have rights, preferences and privileges superior to those of holders of Common Shares. Any debt financing secured in the future could involve restrictive covenants relating to capital raising activities and other financial and operational matters, which may make it more difficult for the Company to obtain additional capital and to pursue business opportunities, including potential acquisitions.
Competition
There is potential that the Company will face intense competition from other companies, some of which can be expected to have longer operating histories and more financial resources and experience than the Company. Increased competition by larger and better financed competitors could materially and adversely affect the business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects of the Company.
Director and officer control of Common Shares
The officers and directors of the Company currently hold (directly or indirectly) approximately 34.2% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares. The Company's shareholders nominate and elect the Board, which generally has the ability to control the acquisition or disposition of the Company's assets, and the future issuance of its Common Shares or other securities. Accordingly, for any matters with respect to which a majority vote of the Common Shares may be required by law, the Company's directors and officers may have the ability to control such matters. Because the directors and officers control a substantial portion of such Common Shares, investors may find it difficult or impossible to replace the Company's directors if they disagree with the way the Company's business is being operated.
Management of growth
The Company may be subject to growth-related risks including capacity constraints and pressure on its internal systems and controls. The ability of the Company to manage growth effectively will require it to continue to implement and improve its operational and financial systems and to expand, train and manage its employee and consultant base. The inability of the Company to deal with this growth may have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.
Internal controls
Effective internal controls are necessary for the Company to provide reliable financial reports and to help prevent fraud. Failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could harm the Company's results of operations or cause it to fail to meet its reporting obligations. If the Company or its auditors discover a material weakness, the disclosure of that fact, even if quickly remedied, could reduce the market's confidence in the Company's consolidated financial statements and materially adversely affect the trading price of the Common Shares.
Conflicts of interest
Certain of the directors and officers of the Company are, or may become directors and officers of other companies, and conflicts of interest may arise between their duties as officers and directors of the Company and as officers and directors of such other companies.
Fraudulent or illegal activity by employees, contractors and consultants
The Company is exposed to the risk that its employees, independent contractors and consultants may engage in fraudulent or other illegal activity. Misconduct by these parties could include intentional, reckless and/or negligent conduct or disclosure of unauthorized activities to the Company that violates, among other things, government regulators, industry standards or laws that require the true, complete and accurate reporting of financial information or data. It may not
always be possible for the Company to identify and deter misconduct by its employees and other third parties, and the precautions taken by the Company to detect and prevent this activity may not be effective in controlling unknown or unmanaged risks or losses or in protecting the Company from governmental investigations or other actions or lawsuits stemming from a failure to be in compliance with such laws or regulations. If any such actions are instituted against Company, and it is not successful in defending itself or asserting its rights, those actions could have a significant impact on the Company's business, including the imposition of civil, criminal and administrative penalties, damages, monetary fines, contractual damages, reputational harm, diminished profits and future earnings, and curtailment of the Company's operations, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.
Information technology systems and cyber-attacks
The Company's operations depend, in part, on how well it and its suppliers protect networks, equipment, IT systems and software against damage from a number of threats, including, but not limited to, cable cuts, damage to physical plants, natural disasters, intentional damage and destruction, fire, power loss, hacking, computer viruses, vandalism and theft. The Company's operations also depend on the timely maintenance, upgrade and replacement of networks, equipment, IT systems and software, as well as pre-emptive expenses to mitigate the risks of failures. Any of these and other events could result in information system failures, delays and/or increase in capital expenses. The failure of information systems or a component of information systems could, depending on the nature of any such failure, adversely impact the Company's reputation and results of operations.
The Company has not experienced any material losses to date relating to cyber-attacks or other information security breaches, but there can be no assurance that the Company will not incur such losses in the future. The Company's risk and exposure to these matters cannot be fully mitigated because of, among other things, the evolving nature of these threats. As a result, cyber security and the continued development and enhancement of controls, processes and practices designed to protect systems, computers, software, data and networks from attack, damage or unauthorized access is a priority. As cyber threats continue to evolve, the Company may be required to expend additional resources to continue to modify or enhance protective measures or to investigate and remediate any security vulnerabilities.
Operating risks and insurance
The Company's operations are subject to hazards inherent in its industry, such as equipment defects, malfunction and failures, natural disasters which result in fires, accidents and explosions that can cause personal injury, loss of life, suspension of operations, damage to facilities, business interruption and damage to or destruction of property, equipment and the environment, labour disputes, and changes in the regulatory environment. These risks could expose the Company to substantial liability for personal injury, wrongful death, property damage, pollution, and other environmental damages. The frequency and severity of such incidents will affect operating costs, insurability and relationships with customers, employees, consultants and regulators.
The Company continuously monitors its operations for quality control and safety. However, there are no assurances that the Company's safety procedures will always prevent such damages. Although the Company maintains insurance coverage that it believes to be adequate and customary in the industry, there can be no assurance that such insurance will be adequate to cover its liabilities. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to maintain adequate insurance in the future at rates it considers reasonable and commercially justifiable. The occurrence of a significant uninsured claim, a claim in excess of the insurance coverage limits maintained by the Company, or a claim at a time when it is not able to obtain liability insurance, could have a material adverse effect on the Company, the Company's ability to conduct normal business operations and on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in the future.
Uninsured or uninsurable risk
The Company may be subject to liability for risks against which it cannot insure or against which the Company may elect not to insure due to the high cost of insurance premiums or other factors. The payment of any such liabilities would reduce the funds available for the Company's normal business activities. Payment of liabilities for which the Company does not carry insurance may have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position and operations.
Issuance of debt
From time to time, the Company may enter into transactions to acquire assets or shares of other organizations. These transactions may be financed in whole or in part with debt, which may increase the Company's debt levels above industry standards for companies of similar size. Depending on future development plans, the Company may require additional equity and/or debt financing that may not be available or, if available, may not be available on favourable terms to the Company. Neither the Company's articles nor its by-laws limit the amount of indebtedness that the Company may incur. As a result, the level of the Company's indebtedness from time to time could impair its ability to obtain additional financing on a timely basis to take advantage of business opportunities that may arise.
Financial projections may prove materially inaccurate or incorrect
The Company's financial estimates, projections and other forward-looking information accompanying this Prospectus were prepared by the Company without the benefit of reliable historical industry information or other information customarily used in preparing such estimates, projections and other forward-looking information. Such forward-looking information is based on assumptions of future events that may or may not occur, which assumptions may not be disclosed in such documents. Investors should research the Company and become familiar with the assumptions underlying any estimates, projections or other forward-looking information. Projections are inherently subject to varying degrees of uncertainty and their achievability depends on the timing and probability of a complex series of future events. There is no assurance that the assumptions upon which these projections are based will be realized. Actual results may differ materially from projected results for a number of reasons including increases in operation expenses, changes or shifts in regulatory rules, undiscovered and unanticipated adverse industry and economic conditions, and unanticipated competition. Accordingly, investors should not rely on any projections to indicate the actual results the Company might achieve.
Risks associated with acquisitions
As part of the Company's overall business strategy, the Company may pursue select strategic acquisitions that would provide additional product or service offerings, additional industry expertise, and a stronger industry presence in both existing and new jurisdictions. Future acquisitions may expose the Company to potential risks, including risks associated with: (i) the integration of new operations, services and personnel; (ii) unforeseen or hidden liabilities; (iii) the diversion of resources from the Company's existing business and technology; (iv) potential inability to generate sufficient revenue to offset new costs; (v) the expenses of acquisitions; or (vi) the potential loss of or harm to relationships with employees, consultants and existing users resulting from its integration of new businesses. In addition, any proposed acquisitions may be subject to regulatory approval.
The Company's mineral property does not contain a known commercially viable mineral deposit.
The Company holds mining claims under option, but such claims do not contain any known commercially viable mineral deposits. Both the size of a deposit and the cost of extracting ore are key factors in determining whether a mineral deposit is commercially viable. If the Company does not find any viable mineral reserves on the claims or if it cannot develop a mineral reserve that may be found, either because of insufficient funds or because it will not be economically feasible to do so, the Company may have to cease operations.
Compared to other mineral exploration companies, the Company is very small, has few resources and must limit its exploration.
The Company is a small, junior mineral exploration company in an industry dominated by many larger companies that have substantial amounts of capital and management expertise. The Company does not have the human resources or financial resources to compete with senior mineral exploration companies, which could and probably would spend more time and money exploring mineral exploration properties and have better odds of finding a mineral reserve. As a result, the Company must limit its exploration and it may be unsuccessful in finding a mineral reserve or, if it does, it may not have sufficient financial resources or management expertise to effectively develop such a reserve, which means that future investors could lose a portion or all of any funds they invest in the Company.
The Company will have to suspend its exploration plans if it does not have access to all of the supplies and materials needed in order to carry out such plans.
Competition and unforeseen limited sources of supplies in the industry could result in occasional spot shortages of supplies and equipment that the Company might need to conduct exploration. If it cannot find the products and equipment needed, the Company will have to suspend its exploration plans until it is able to find the products and equipment that are needed. This could have a negative impact on the Company's share price.
There are inherent dangers involved in mineral exploration and the Company may incur liability or damages as it conducts its business.
The search for valuable minerals involves numerous hazards. As a result, the Company may become subject to liability for such hazards, including pollution, cave-ins and other hazards against which the Company cannot insure or against which it may elect not to insure. The payment of such liabilities may have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position.
If the Company becomes subject to burdensome government regulation or other legal uncertainties, there could be a negative impact on the Company's business.
There are numerous provincial and federal governmental regulations that materially affect the operations of mineral exploration and mining companies. In addition, the legal and regulatory environment that pertains to the exploration and development of mineral exploration properties is uncertain and may change. Uncertainty and new regulations could increase the costs of doing business and prevent the Company from exploring or developing mineral deposits. The growth of demand for minerals may also be significantly slowed. This could delay growth in potential demand for and limit the Company's ability to generate revenues. In addition to new laws and regulations being adopted, existing laws may be applied to mineral exploration activities that are carried out by companies in the mining industry, which may negatively affect the Company. New laws may be enacted that may increase the cost of doing business which may have an adverse impact on the Company's financial condition and results of operations.
New mineral exploration companies have a high failure rate.
New mineral exploration companies generally encounter numerous difficulties and there is high rate of failure of such enterprises. The likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays encountered in connection with the exploration of the mineral properties that the Company hopes to undertake. These potential problems include, but are not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to exploration, and additional costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates. Very few mineral exploration properties actually contain commercially viable mineral deposits. The Company has no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that its business will prove successful, and the Company can provide no assurance that it will generate any operating revenues or ever achieve profitable operations. If the Company is unsuccessful in addressing these risks, its business could fail.
Fluctuations in commodity prices may adversely affect the Company's prospective revenue, profitability and working capital position.
The Company's future revenues and cash flows are subject to fluctuations in commodity prices. Commodity prices are affected by a variety of factors beyond the Company's control including interest rate changes, exchange rate changes, international economic and political trends, inflation or deflation, fluctuations in the value of the Canadian dollar and foreign currencies, global and regional supply and demand, changes in industrial demand and the political and economic conditions of major commodity producing countries throughout the world.
The Company's exploration and development properties may not be successful and are highly speculative in nature.
The Company's activities are focused on the exploration for and the possible future development of mineral deposits. The exploration for, and development of, mineral deposits involves significant risks which even a combination of careful evaluation, experience and knowledge cannot eliminate. While the discovery of a mineral deposit may result in substantial rewards, few properties which are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. Major expenses may be required to locate and establish mineral reserves, to develop metallurgical processes and to construct mining and processing facilities at a particular site. Whether a mineral deposit will be commercially viable depends on a number of factors, some of which are: the particular attributes of the deposit, such as size, grade and proximity to infrastructure; metal prices which are highly cyclical and unpredictable; and government regulations, including regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, importing and exporting of precious metals and environmental protection. The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but the combination of these factors may result in the Company not receiving an adequate return on invested capital or abandoning or delaying the development of a mineral project. There is no certainty that the expenditures made by the Company towards the search and evaluation of mineral deposits will result in discoveries of commercial quantities of such minerals.
The exploration and development of natural resources involve a high degree of risk and few properties which are explored are ultimately developed into producing properties. Although the mineral resource figures set out herein have been carefully prepared by independent mining experts, these amounts are estimates only and no assurance can be given that an identified mineral resource will ever qualify as a commercially mineable (or viable) ore body which can be legally and economically exploited. In addition, the grade of mineralization ultimately mined may differ from that indicated by drilling results and such differences could be material. Production can be affected by such factors as permitting regulations and requirements, weather,
environmental factors, unforeseen technical difficulties, unusual or unexpected geological formations and work interruptions.
Short-term factors, such as the need for orderly development of deposits or the processing of new or different grades, may have an adverse effect on mining operations and on the results of operations. There can be no assurance that minerals recovered in small scale laboratory tests will be duplicated in large scale tests under on-site conditions or in production scale operations. Material changes in reserves or resources, grades, dilution estimates or recovery rates may affect the economic viability of a project. The long-term profitability of the Company's operations will be in part directly related to the cost and success of its exploration programs, which may be affected by a number of factors.
Substantial expenditures are required to establish mineral resources through drilling, to develop processes to extract the resources and, in the case of new properties, to develop the extraction and processing facilities and infrastructure at any site chosen for extraction. Although substantial benefits may be derived from the discovery of a major deposit, no assurance can be given that resources will be discovered in sufficient quantities to justify commercial operations or that the funds required for development can be obtained on a timely basis.
Aboriginal title and land claims.
The Spius Property may now or in the future be the subject of Aboriginal land claims, which is a matter of considerable complexity. The impact of any such claim on the Company's ownership interest in the Spius Property cannot be predicted with any degree of certainty and no assurance can be given that a broad recognition of Aboriginal rights in the area in which the Spius Property is located, by way of a negotiated settlement or judicial pronouncement, would not have an adverse effect on the Company's activities. Even in the absence of such recognition, the Company may at some point be required to negotiate with and seek the approval of holders of Aboriginal interests in order to facilitate exploration and development work on the Spius Property, and there is no assurance that the Company will be able to establish a practical working relationship with the Indigenous in the area which would allow it to ultimately develop the Spius Property.
Environmental and other regulatory risks may adversely affect the Company.
All phases of the Company's operations are subject to environmental regulation in the jurisdiction in which it operates. These regulations mandate, among other things, the maintenance of air and water quality standards and land reclamation. They also set forth limitations on the generation, transportation, storage and disposal of solid and hazardous waste. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner which will likely require stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors and employees. There is no assurance that future changes in environmental regulation, if any, will not adversely affect the Company's operations. Environmental hazards may exist on the properties on which the Company holds interests which are unknown to the Company at present and which have been caused by previous or existing
owners or operators of the properties. Government approvals and permits are currently, and may in the future be, required in connection with the Company's operations. To the extent that such approvals are required and not obtained, the Company may be curtailed or prohibited from continuing its operations or from proceeding with planned exploration or development of mineral properties.
Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions thereunder, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing operations to cease or be curtailed, and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment, or remedial actions. Parties engaged in mining operations or in the exploration or development of mineral properties may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of the mining activities and may have civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed for violations of applicable laws or regulations. Amendments to current laws, regulations and permits governing operations and activities of mining and exploration companies, or more stringent implementation thereof, could have a material adverse impact on the Company and cause increases in exploration expenses, capital expenditures or production costs or reduction in levels of production at producing properties or require abandonment or delays in development of new mining properties.
The Company's operations are subject to receiving and maintaining permits from appropriate governmental authorities. Although the Company's operations currently have all required permits for their operations as currently conducted, there is no assurance that delays will not occur in connection with obtaining all necessary renewals of such permits for the existing operations, additional permits for any possible future changes to operations, or additional permits associated with new legislation. Prior to any development on its property, the Company must receive permits from appropriate governmental authorities. There can be no assurance that the Company will continue to hold all permits necessary to develop or continue operating at any particular property.
Climate change may adversely affect the Company.
Governments are moving to enact climate change legislation and treaties at the international, national, state/provincial and local levels. Where legislation already exists, regulations relating to emission levels and energy efficiency are becoming more stringent. Some of the costs associated with meeting more stringent regulations can be offset by increased energy efficiency and technological innovation. However, if the current regulatory trend continues, meeting more stringent regulations is anticipated to result in increased costs.
Title to some of the Company's mineral properties may be challenged or defective.
The acquisition of title to mineral properties is a very detailed and time-consuming process. Title to mining claims may be disputed. Although the Company believes it has taken reasonable measures to ensure proper title to its current property, there is no guarantee such title will not be challenged or impaired. Third parties may have valid or invalid claims underlying portions of its interest, including prior unregistered liens, agreements, transfers or claims, including formal aboriginal land claims, informal aboriginal land claims accompanied by hostile activity, and title may be affected by, among other things, undetected defects. As a result, the Company may be constrained in its ability to operate its properties or unable to enforce its rights with respect to its current property or any future properties that it may acquire an interest in. An impairment to or defect in its title to its properties could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations.
Obtaining and renewing licenses and permits.
In the ordinary course of business, the Company will be required to obtain and renew governmental licenses or permits for exploration, development, construction and commencement of mining at the Spius Property. Obtaining or renewing the necessary governmental licenses or permits is a complex and time-consuming process involving public hearings and costly undertakings on the part of the Company. The duration and success of the Company's efforts to obtain and renew licenses or permits are contingent upon many variables not within the Company's control, including the interpretation of applicable requirements implemented by the licensing authority. The Company may not be able to obtain or renew licenses or permits that are necessary to its operations, including, without limitation, an exploitation license, or the cost to obtain or renew licenses or permits may exceed what the Company believes they can recover from the Spius Property. Any unexpected delays or costs associated with the licensing or permitting process could delay the development or impede the operation of a mine, which could adversely impact the Company's operations and profitability.
Insurance and uninsured risks.
The Company is exposed to risks inherent in the mining industry, including adverse environmental conditions and pollution, personal injury or death, labour disputes, unusual or unexpected geological conditions, legal liability, ground or slope failures, cave-ins, changes in the regulatory environment and natural phenomena, property damage, floods, earthquakes, delays in mining and monetary losses and dust storms.
While the Company has obtained insurance to address certain risks in such amounts as it considers being reasonable, such insurance has limitations on liability that may not be able to cover all the potential liabilities and the insurance may not continue to be available or may not be adequate to cover any resulting liability. Moreover, such risks may not be insurable in all instances or, in certain instances, the Company may elect not to insure against certain risks because of high premiums associated with such insurance or other reasons. The payment of such uninsured liabilities would reduce the funds available to the Company and the occurrence of an event in which the Company is not fully insured against, could have a material adverse effect upon its business, operating results and financial condition.
Dependence on outside parties.
The Company will rely upon consultants, engineers, contractors and other parties for exploration, development, construction and operating expertise. Substantial expenditures are required to construct mines, to establish mineral reserves through drilling, to carry out environmental and social impact assessments, to develop metallurgical processes to extract metal from ore and, in the case of new properties, to develop the exploration and mineral processing infrastructure at any particular site. Deficient or negligent work or work not completed in a timely manner could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Competition
The mining industry is extremely competitive. The Company competes with other companies, some which have greater financial, operational expertise, technical capabilities and other resources than the Company and, as a result, may be in a better position to compete for future business opportunities. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to compete effectively with these companies.
Land reclamation requirements may be burdensome.
Land reclamation requirements are generally imposed on companies with mining operations or mineral exploration companies in order to minimize long term effects of land disturbance. Reclamation may include requirements to:
- control dispersion of potentially deleterious effluents; and
- reasonably re-establish pre-disturbance landforms and vegetation.
In order to carry out reclamation obligations imposed on the Company in connection with exploration, potential development and production activities, the Company must allocate financial resources that might otherwise be spent on exploration and development programs. If the Company is required to carry out unanticipated reclamation work, its financial position could be adversely affected.
Risks relating to health and safety.
Mining, like many other extractive natural resource industries, is subject to potential risks and liabilities due to accidents that could result in serious injury or death. The impact of such accidents could affect the profitability of the Company's operations, cause an interruption to operations, lead to a loss of licenses, affect the reputation of the Company and its ability to obtain further licenses, damage community relations and reduce the perceived appeal of the Company as an employer.
There is no assurance that the Company has been or will at all times be in full compliance with all laws and regulations or hold, and be in full compliance with, all required health and safety permits. The potential costs and delays associated with compliance with such laws, regulations and permits could prevent the Company from proceeding with the development of a project or the operation or further development of a project, and any noncompliance therewith may adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. Amendments to current laws, regulations and permits governing operations and activities of mining companies, or more stringent implementation thereof, could have a material adverse impact on the Company and cause increases in exploration expenses, capital expenditures or production costs, reduction in levels of production at producing properties, or abandonment or delays in development of new mining properties.
Risks related to infrastructure.
Mining, processing, development and exploration activities depend, to one degree or another, on adequate infrastructure. Reliable roads, bridges and power sources are important determinants that affect capital and operating costs. Unusual or infrequent weather phenomena, sabotage, government or other interference in the maintenance or provision of such infrastructure could adversely affect the Company's operations, financial condition and results of operations.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Shareholders of Arctic Fox Ventures Inc. (formerly Arctic Fox Interactive Ltd.)
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Arctic Fox Ventures Inc. (formerly Arctic Fox Interactive Ltd.) (the "Company"), which comprise the statements of financial position as at June 30, 2020 and 2019, and the statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at June 30, 2020 and 2019, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits 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 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 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 1 in the financial statements, which indicates that the Company has not generated any revenues and has negative cash flow from operations during the year ended June 30, 2020 and, as of that date, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $1,335,288. As stated in Note 1, these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises:
- Management's Discussion and Analysis
- The information, other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon, in the Prospectus.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not and will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information, and in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the 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 the auditor's report. If, based on the work we have performed on this information, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
The Prospectus is expected to be made available to us after the date of the auditor's report. If, based on the work we have performed on this information, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact to those charged with governance.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the 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 Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these 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 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 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 financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
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.

(formerly Arctic Fox Interactive Ltd.) Notes to the Financial Statements Years Ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
1. Nature of Operations and Continuance of Operations
Arctic Fox Ventures Inc. (formerly Arctic Fox Interactive Ltd. (the "Company") was incorporated in the province of British Columbia on February 19, 2013. The Company was focused on mobile game application development. Subsequent to June 30, 2020, the Company became a mineral exploration company (refer to Note 10(a)), but will still continue with its mobile game application development operations. The Company's head office is located at Suite 905, 1030 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, BC, V6E 2Y3.
On March 11, 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 or ability to raise funds.
These financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. During the year ended June 30, 2020, the Company has not generated any revenues and has negative cash flow from operations. As at June 30, 2020, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $1,335,288. The continued operations of the Company are dependent on its ability to generate future cash flows or obtain additional financing through debt or equity. Management is of the opinion that sufficient working capital will be obtained from external financing to meet the Company's liabilities and commitments as they become due, although there is a risk that additional financing will not be available on a timely basis or on terms acceptable to the Company. These factors may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that may be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Basis of Presentation
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board on a going concern basis.
These financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis and are presented in Canadian dollars.
(b) Application of New IFRS
IFRS 16, Leases
On July 1, 2019, the Company adopted IFRS 16 – Leases ("IFRS 16") which replaced IAS 17 – Leases and IFRIC 4 – Determining Whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease. IFRS 16 sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. IFRS 16 eliminates the classification of leases as either operating leases or finance leases for a lessee. Instead, all leases are treated in a similar way to finance leases applied in IAS 17. IFRS 16 does not require a lessee to recognize assets and liabilities for short-term leases (i.e. leases of 12 months or less), leases with certain variable lease payments, and leases of low-value assets.
The Company adopted IFRS 16 effective July 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective method, with no significant impact on the Company's financial statements as the Company does not have any lease commitments.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(c) Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Significant areas requiring the use of estimates include the fair value of share-based payments and unrecognized deferred income tax assets.
The assessment of whether the going concern assumption is appropriate requires management to take into account all available information about the future, which is at least, but is not limited to, 12 months from the end of the reporting period. The Company is aware that material uncertainties related to events or conditions may cast significant doubt upon the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
(d) Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance, are readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value to be cash equivalents.
(e) Software Development Costs
Software development costs relating to software to be sold, licenced, or marketed are capitalized upon the establishment of technological feasibility. Capitalized software development costs will be amortized over the remaining useful life of the product.
(f) Foreign Currency Translation
The functional and reporting currency is the Canadian dollar. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date or at an average rate. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange in effect at the consolidated statement of financial position date. Non-monetary items are translated using the historical rate on the date of the transaction. Foreign exchange gains and losses are included in the statement of operations.
(g) Financial Instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the respective instrument.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are included in the initial carrying value of the related instrument and are amortized using the effective interest method. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in the statement of operations.
Fair value estimates are made at the statement of financial position date based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. All financial instruments are classified into either: fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL") or amortized cost.
(formerly Arctic Fox Interactive Ltd.) Notes to the Financial Statements Years Ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(g) Financial Instruments (continued)
The Company has made the following classifications:
| Cash | Amortized cost |
|---|---|
| Loans payable | Amortized cost |
| Due to related parties | Amortized cost |
Financial assets
The classification of financial assets depends on the nature and purpose of the financial assets and is determined at the time of initial recognition.
Financial assets at FVTPL
Financial assets are classified as FVTPL when the financial asset is either held for trading or it is designated as FVTPL. A financial asset is classified as held for trading if:
- it has been acquired principally for the purpose of selling it in the near term; or
- on initial recognition, it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Company manages together and has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or
- it is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument.
Financial assets at amortized cost
Financial assets at amortized cost are non-derivative financial assets which are held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows and its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. A financial asset (unless it is a trade receivable without a significant financing component that is initially measured at the transaction price) is initially measured at fair value plus, for an item not at FVTPL, transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition. Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.
Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets, other than those classified as FVTPL, are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Financial assets are considered to be impaired when there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the investment have been decreased.
The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of trade receivables, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account.
When a trade receivable is considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are offset against the allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognized in the statement of operations. Loss allowances are based on the lifetime ECL's that result from all possible default events over the expected life of the trade receivable, using the simplified approach.
For financial assets measured at amortized cost, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through the statement of operations to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortized cost would have been had the impairment not been recognized.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(g) Financial Instruments (continued)
Financial liabilities and equity instruments
Classification as debt or equity
Debt and equity instruments issued by the Company are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
Equity instruments
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Company are recognized as the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
Other financial liabilities
Other financial liabilities (including loans and borrowings and trade payables and other liabilities) are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs. Subsequently, other financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial liability, or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
(h) Income Taxes
Current income tax
Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current period are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date. Current income tax relating to items recognized directly in other comprehensive income or equity is recognized in other comprehensive income or equity and not in the statement of operations. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.
Deferred income tax
Deferred income tax is provided using the statement of financial position method on temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and recognized only to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable income will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilized. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current income tax liabilities and the deferred income taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
(formerly Arctic Fox Interactive Ltd.) Notes to the Financial Statements Years Ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(i) Share-based Payments
The grant date fair value of share-based payment awards granted to employees is recognized as stock-based compensation expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period that the employees unconditionally become entitled to the awards. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which the related service and non-market vesting conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognized as an expense is based on the number of awards that do meet the related service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date. For share-based payment awards with non-vesting conditions, the grant date fair value of the share-based payment is measured to reflect such conditions and there is no true-up for differences between expected and actual outcomes.
Where equity instruments are granted to parties other than employees, they are recorded by reference to the fair value of the services received. If the fair value of the services received cannot be reliably estimated, the Company measures the services received by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted, measured at the date the counterparty renders service.
All equity-settled share-based payments are reflected in share-based payment reserve, unless exercised. Upon exercise, shares are issued from treasury and the amount reflected in share-based payment reserve is credited to share capital, adjusted for any consideration paid.
(j) Loss Per Share
Basic loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The treasury stock method is used for the calculation of diluted loss per share, whereby all "in the money" stock options and share purchase warrants are assumed to have been exercised at the beginning of the period and the proceeds from their exercise are assumed to have been used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the period. When a loss is incurred during the period, basic and diluted loss per share are the same as the exercise of stock options and share purchase warrants is considered to be anti-dilutive.
(k) Comprehensive Loss
Comprehensive loss is the change in the Company's net assets that results from transactions, events and circumstances from sources other than the Company's shareholders and includes items that are not included in the statement of operations.
(l) Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Effective
A number of new standards, and amendments to standards and interpretations, are not yet effective for the year ended June 30, 2020, and have not been early adopted in preparing these financial statements. These new standards, and amendments to standards and interpretations are either not applicable or are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements.

7. Capital Management
The Company manages its capital to maintain its ability to continue as a going concern and to provide returns to shareholders and benefits to other stakeholders. The capital structure of the Company consists of cash and equity comprised of issued share capital and share subscriptions received/receivable.
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of economic conditions. The Company, upon approval from its Board of Directors, will balance its overall capital structure through new share issuances or by undertaking other activities as deemed appropriate under the specific circumstances.
Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
(formerly Arctic Fox Interactive Ltd.) Notes to the Financial Statements Years Ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
8. Financial Instruments and Risk Management
(a) Fair Values
Fair value measurements are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:
- Level 1 valuation based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
- Level 2 valuation techniques based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
- Level 3 valuation techniques using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
The fair values of financial instruments, which includes cash, loans payable, and amounts due to related parties, approximate their carrying values due to the relatively short-term maturity of these instruments.
(b) Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss by placing its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure.
(c) Foreign Exchange Rate and Interest Rate Risk
The Company is not exposed to any significant foreign exchange rate or interest rate risk.
(d) Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting financial obligations due to shortage of funds. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash balances and adjusting its operating budget and expenditure. Liquidity requirements are managed based on expected cash flows to ensure that there is sufficient capital in order to meet short-term and other specific obligations.
9. Income Taxes
The tax effect (computed by applying the Canadian federal and provincial statutory rate) of the significant temporary differences, which comprise deferred income tax assets and liabilities, are as follows:
| 2020$ | 2019$ | |
|---|---|---|
| Canadian statutory income tax rate | 27% | 27% |
| Income tax recovery at statutory rate | (26,466) | (207,764) |

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
(a) Fair Values
Fair value measurements are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:
- Level 1 valuation based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
- Level 2 valuation techniques based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
- Level 3 valuation techniques using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
The fair values of financial instruments, which includes cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, loans payable, and amounts due to related parties, approximate their carrying values due to the relatively short-term maturity of these instruments.
(b) Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss by placing its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure.
(c) Foreign Exchange Rate and Interest Rate Risk
The Company is not exposed to any significant foreign exchange rate or interest rate risk.
(d) Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company currently settles its financial obligations out of cash. The ability to do this relies on the Company raising equity financing in a timely manner and by maintaining sufficient cash in excess of anticipated needs
RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
The Company adopted IFRS 16, "Leases" effective July 1, 2019 and it did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
Other accounting standards or amendments to existing accounting standards that have been issued but have future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements.

RISK FACTORS
Coronavirus Pandemic
The current outbreak of COVID-19 and any future emergence and spread of similar pathogens could have an adverse impact on global economic conditions, which may adversely impact the Company's operations, and the operations of its suppliers, contractors, and service providers, the ability to obtain financing and maintain necessary liquidity. The outbreak of COVID-19 and political upheavals in various countries have caused significant volatility in commodity prices. While these effects are expected to be temporary, the duration of the business disruptions internationally and related financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

1. Nature of Operations and Continuance of Operations
Arctic Fox Ventures Inc. (formerly Arctic Fox Interactive Ltd.) (the "Company") was incorporated in the province of British Columbia on February 19, 2013. The Company was focused on mobile application development. Subsequent to September 30, 2020, the Company became a mineral exploration company (refer to Note 5(a)), but will still continue with its mobile game application development operations. The Company's head office is located at Suite 905, 1030 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, BC, V6E 2Y3.
On March 11, 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 or ability to raise funds.
These condensed financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. As at September 30, 2020, the Company has not generated any revenues from operations, has negative cash flow from operations, and has an accumulated deficit of $1,343,808. The continued operations of the Company are dependent on its ability to generate future cash flows or obtain additional financing through debt or equity. Management is of the opinion that sufficient working capital will be obtained from external financing to meet the Company's liabilities and commitments as they become due, although there is a risk that additional financing will not be available on a timely basis or on terms acceptable to the Company. These factors may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These condensed financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that may be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
2. Significant Accounting Policies

These condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards applicable to interim financial information, as outlined in International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" and using the accounting policies consistent with those in the audited financial statements as at and for the year ended June 30, 2020.
These condensed financial statements do not include all disclosures normally provided in annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements as at and for the year ended June 30, 2020. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the fiscal year.
(b) Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Effective
A number of new standards, and amendments to standards and interpretations, are not yet effective for the period ended September 30, 2020, and have not been early adopted in preparing these condensed financial statements. These new standards, and amendments to standards and interpretations are either not applicable or are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's condensed financial statements.

The Company is focused on mobile game application development. The Company's head office is located at Suite 905, 1030 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, BC, V6E 2Y3.
The Company is a technology company that is engaged in the development and potential subsequent commercialization of apps in the mobile gaming industry, and has one game currently in operation. The Company intends to develop and acquire intellectual property, and with that intellectual property, to develop and/or co-develop games. Specifically, the Company hopes to license intellectual property that could be used within its existing game, and ultimately to launch new games.
ARCTIC FOX VENTURES INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2020
Since inception on game development the Company has produced its initial gaming app, "After: The Lawless", a multiplayer online role-playing game that has been designed to be easily scaled to be played on Apple devices. After currently allows players to engage with each other and with the game itself. Players are able to interact and join other players in certain activities in the game.
The Company's main focus is on acquiring and aggregating intellectual property related to entertainment co-development products with experienced individuals in digital asset creation, and marketing these digital assets to the global market to hopefully generate a continual revenue stream. Once the Company acquires intellectual property, it will develop assets and content to launch with the core game engine it is developing.
The Company's main business areas are as follows:
- develop intellectual property into games for the global customer;
- intellectual property licensing, source acquire popular intellectual property related to movies, games and comics;

Due to the Company's management team's experience and resources, certain attractive mining opportunities have been made available to the Company. The opportunities will potentially allow the Company to deliver shareholder value over the next 3 to 5 years by using the Company's cash position and management experience to find suitable exploration projects in politically safe jurisdictions. As a result, the Company changed its business to be that of a mining issuer.
Although there has been a change in business, the Company will continue to further the development of its patent applications and seek to commercialize the intellectual property it has accumulated as a technology company.
On October 20, 2020, the Company entered into a mineral property option agreement whereby the Company has the right to earn a 60% interest in certain mineral claims located in the Nicola and New Westminster Mining Districts in British Columbia, Canada.

ARCTIC FOX VENTURES INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2020
Capital Management
The Company manages its capital to maintain its ability to continue as a going concern and to provide returns to shareholders and benefits to other stakeholders. The capital structure of the Company consists of cash and equity comprised of issued capital.
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of economic conditions. The Company, upon approval from its Board of Directors, will balance its overall capital structure through new share issues or by undertaking other activities as deemed appropriate under the specific circumstances. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
The Company does not utilize off-balance sheet arrangements.
TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES
During the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company incurred rent and administrative fees of $6,000 (2019 - $6,000) to a Pacific Paragon Capital Group Ltd., a company controlled by Harry Chew, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and Sonny Chew, the Chief Financial Officer of the Company.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
(a) Fair Values
Fair value measurements are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:
- Level 1 valuation based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
- Level 2 valuation techniques based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
- Level 3 valuation techniques using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
The fair values of financial instruments, which includes cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, loans payable, and amounts due to related parties, approximate their carrying values due to the relatively short-term maturity of these instruments.
(b) Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss by placing its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure.
(c) Foreign Exchange Rate and Interest Rate Risk
The Company is not exposed to any significant foreign exchange rate or interest rate risk.
(d) Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company currently settles its financial obligations out of cash. The ability to do this relies on the Company raising equity financing in a timely manner and by maintaining sufficient cash in excess of anticipated needs

The outbreak of COVID-19 and political upheavals in various countries have caused significant volatility in commodity prices.
