BASIN URANIUM CORP. (FORMERLY BLACK SHIELD METALS CORP.) NOTES TO CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2021 AND 2020 (Unaudited, Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

Basin Uranium Corp. (“BUC” or the Company) was incorporated on October 13, 2017 under the British Columbia Corporations Act. The Company changed its name from ZP Mining Inc. to Black Shield Metals Corp. on February 7, 2020, and again changed its name from Black Shield Metals Corp. to Basin Uranium Corp. on October 27, 2021. The Company’s common shares are listed for trading on the Canadian Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”) under the symbol “NCLR”. The address of the Company and the registered and records office is 1500-1055 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6E 4N7.

The Company is in the exploration stage and its principal business activity is the exploration and evaluation of mineral properties in Canada. The Company is in the process of exploring and evaluating its mineral properties and has not yet determined whether these properties contain reserves that are economically recoverable. As at August 31, 2021, the Company has not yet determined whether its property contains ore reserves that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of amounts shown for exploration and evaluation assets is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, confirmation of the Company’s interest in the underlying mineral claims, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the development of and future profitable production from the properties or realizing proceeds from their disposition.

The Company’s financial statements for the three months ended August 31, 2021 and 2020 have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. For the three months ended 31, 2021, the Company incurred a net loss of $111,124 (May 31, 2021 - $232,274). As at August 31, 2021, it had an accumulated deficit of $396,213 (May 31, 2021 - $285,089), which has been funded by the issuance of equity. The Company’s ability to continue its operations and to realize its assets at their carrying values are dependent upon obtaining additional financing sufficient to cover its operating costs.

Although management is currently seeking additional sources of equity or debt financing, there is no assurance these activities will be successful. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital in the future, management expects that the Company will need to curtail operations, liquidate assets, seek additional capital on less favorable terms and/or pursue other remedial measures. Management is aware, in making its assessment, of material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments which would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in the accompanying financial statements.

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN (Continued)

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, and any related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, economics, 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 results of operations at this time. To date, the impact on the Company’s operations has been minimal, however, management continues to monitor the situation.

Statement of Compliance and Basis of Presentation

The condensed interim financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) applicable to the preparation of these interim financial statements, including International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34 – Interim Financial Reporting.

These condensed interim financial statements do not include all of the information required for full IFRS financial statements and therefore should be read in conjunction with the Company’s most recent annual financial statements for the year ended May 31, 2021, which were prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by IASB.

The accounting policies and methods of application applied by the Company in these condensed interim financial statements are the same as those applied in the Company’s most recent audited financial statements for the year ended May 31, 2021.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS also requires management to make estimates and judgments that may have a significant impact on these condensed interim financial statements. Estimates are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s experience and expectations of future estimates. The critical accounting judgments and estimates were presented in the Company’s most recent audited financial statements for the year ended May 31, 2021 and are the same as those applied for the period ending August 31, 2021.

The financial statements were approved and authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on October 28, 2021.

These financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, modified where applicable. In addition, these financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting except for cash flow information.

The functional and presentation currency of the Company is the Canadian dollar.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATES

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual outcomes can differ from these estimates.

Critical Estimates

Areas requiring a significant degree of estimation relate to fair value measurements for financial instruments and the valuation of share-based payments, and the recoverability and measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Critical Judgments

The following are critical judgments that management has made in the process of applying policies that have the most significant effect on the amount recognized in the financial statements:

Going Concern

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

Impairment of Exploration and Evaluation Assets

The recoverability of amounts shown as exploration and evaluation assets is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the Company’s ability to obtain financing to develop the properties, and the ultimate realization of profits through future production or sale of the properties.

Management reviews the carrying values of its mining claims on at least an annual basis, or when an impairment indicator exists, to determine whether an impairment should be recognized. In making its assessment, management considers, among other things, exploration results to date and future exploration plans for a particular property. In addition, capitalized costs related to relinquished property rights are written off in the period of relinquishment. Capitalized costs in respect of the Company’s exploration and evaluation assets may not be recoverable and there is a risk that these costs may be written down in future periods.

Management reviewed exploration and evaluation assets for the period ended August 31, 2021 and May 31, 2021, and did not recognize an impairment charge on its exploration and evaluation assets.

3. ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE

The Company has completed a review of accounting standards and has determined there are no IFRS or International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee interpretations that would be expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

10. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Financial Assets and Liabilities

Information regarding the Company’s financial assets and liabilities as at August 31, 2021 and May 31, 2021 is summarized as follows:

August 31, 2021 May 31, 2021
$ $
Financial Assets
FVTPL
Cash 341,383 376,756
Financial Liabilities
At amortized cost
Tradepayables 201,212 13,136

Financial Instrument Risk Exposure

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities at amortized cost is determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models based on discounted cash flow analysis or using prices from observable current market transactions. The Company considers that the carrying amount of all its financial assets and financial liabilities recognized at amortized cost in the financial statements approximates their fair value due to the demand nature or short-term maturity of these instruments.

The following table provides an analysis of the Company’s financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped into Level 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the inputs used to determine the fair value are observable.

Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in
active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the
measurement date;
Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices
included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either
directly or indirectly;
Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs that are unobservable
inputs for the asset or liability.

Cash is classified as Level 1. The carrying balance of trade payables approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature.

10. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)

Financial Instrument Risk Exposure (continued)

The Company’s financial instruments expose it to a variety of financial risk: market risk (including price risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. These risks arise from the normal course of operations and all transactions are undertaken to support those operations. Risk management is carried out by management under policies approved by the Board of Directors. Management identifies and evaluates the financial risks in co-operation with the Company’s operating units.

The Company’s overall risk management program seeks to minimize potential effects on the Company’s financial performance, in the context of its general capital management objectives (Note 12).

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. The Company’s primary exposure to credit risk is in its cash. The Company manages credit risk on liquid financial assets through maintaining its cash with high quality financial institutions.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company has a planning and budgeting process in place by which it anticipates and determines the funds required to support its normal operating requirements. The Company coordinates this planning and budgeting process with its financing activities through the capital management process described in Note 13.

The Company’s ongoing liquidity is impacted by various external events and conditions. The Company expects to repay its financial liabilities in the normal course of operations and to fund future operations and capital requirements through operating cash flows, as well as future equity and debt financing. As at May 31, 2021, the Company had a cash balance of $376,756 to settle current liabilities of $121,634. The Company’s financial liabilities include trade payables which have contractual maturities of 30 days or are due on demand.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its cash. The interest rate risk on cash is not considered significant due to its short term nature and maturity.

BASIN URANIUM CORP. (FORMERLY BLACK SHIELD METALS CORP.) NOTES TO CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2021 AND 2020 (Unaudited, Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

11. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Company’s primary objectives in capital management are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and to maintain sufficient funds for the exploration and development of the CHG project. The Company’s capital is comprised of the Company’s shareholders’ equity. The Company manages its capital structure to maximize its financial flexibility making adjustments to it in response to changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets and business opportunities. To maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Company may attempt to issue new shares, issue debt, acquire or dispose of assets or adjust the amount of cash.

12. SUBEQUENT EVENTS
